Hui Yinghong's "My Motherland and Me": Hong Kong's return saved me who was once a beggar!

In the exciting movie "My Motherland and Me", there is a heroic policewoman named Hui Yinghong. You can't believe that she is almost sixty. Based on the interview in the film, she said : "I really can't wait for a second. I have been waiting for more than fifty years to return."

To a certain extent, her life is quite like the life of our motherland.

Even if you suffer many hardships, you can still persevere and keep on the road of progress. Hui Yinghong begged at the age of 3, became a dancer at the age of 12, made a movie at the age of 17, became an actress at the age of 22, passed away at the age of 33, committed suicide by taking pills at the age of 40, got back on her feet at the age of 44, won another gold medal at the age of 50, and won another award at the age of 57 The Queen of Double Golden Film Awards has been running on the road to outstanding acting skills...

From a beggar girl, she counterattacked to become the Best Actress at the Academy Awards

In 1960, Hui Yinghong Born, the fifth child.

That was the time when the family was at its poorest and most miserable. The family lived on the streets and begged for a living.

My father was originally a rich young man from Shandong. He came to Hong Kong with his wife and children, carrying gold on his shoulders, but due to his simple nature, he was defrauded of all his property.

Hui Yinghong’s four older brothers and sisters were sent out to learn martial arts, and there were three younger brothers and sisters below who were waiting for food.

Three-year-old Hui Yinghong became the breadwinner of the family. She followed her mother to beg in the red light district to support the family.

Hui Yinghong lived like this for ten years.

Most people can’t imagine that kind of life. They walk for more than ten hours during the day to beg for food; at night they return to their home made of rotten wooden boards, and they have no chance to study in school.

Such girls may have no choice but to passively accept their fate and beg for a living.

Or maybe, because of her pleasant appearance, she became the most ordinary bar girl in the red light district and spent the rest of her life.

Hui Yinghong is different.

She had no chance to go to school, so she asked her father to teach her writing on the sand; there were many foreigners in the red light district, so she learned to speak fluent English;

She sold chewing gum, had a sharp brain, and a sweet mouth , while others could sell it for less than 100 yuan in eight hours, she sold it for 200 yuan in four hours.

She has never been lost in the feasting and feasting. The variety of life in the red light district gives her a strong control over herself:

“I don’t want to see bar girls drinking all my life. , gamble, take drugs and die."

At the age of 12, Hui Yinghong buried her dream in her heart to become a star, make money and support her family.

To achieve this goal, she went to work as a dancer in a nightclub. With no dance foundation, she was selected to compete abroad in nine months. For this reason, she was appreciated by director Zhang Che.

The first audition was the scene in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" where Mu Nianci and her daughter were arrested. Hui Yinghong cried whenever she wanted. It was as miserable as it was. There were so many dialogues that she knew at a glance. Not shy.

From this, at the age of 17, she unexpectedly got the role of Mu Nianci and signed a contract as a Shaw Brothers actor.

The monthly salary of being a dancer is 1,500 yuan, and the monthly salary of being an actor is 500 yuan. As the main source of income for the family, her mother naturally will not let her go, but Hui Yinghong went resolutely: "I am now 500 yuan. , my monthly salary will be 15,000 yuan next year.”

As a result, in the second year, her monthly salary was 50,000 yuan.

Many female celebrities cannot accept martial arts moves. They find the performance too painful and they run away from the battle. Hui Yinghong is overjoyed. She is smart, learns quickly, can endure hardship, and can withstand beatings.

In fighting scenes at that time, there were no protective measures. In a scene where the stomach was punched, the script was placed in the stomach as a protection. After being punched by a grown man for more than forty times, Hui Yinghong was forced to Punch a few times, go out and spit a few times, come back and get beaten again.

Even though she was beaten half to death, Hui Yinghong still had the mentality of "I am so happy that I can be the heroine".

From then on, her status as a female beater was established.

Being able to endure hardship is of course the main reason for Hui Yinghong's success, but more importantly, she is good at learning.

Insight into worldly matters is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is knowledge. In the university of society, the wisdom she gained is to "come out of the mud without being stained", and she must leave the world of bar girls;

What she learned is to "look at the long term", ignore the 500 basic salary, and see the future of stardom;

What she learned is to "draw inferences from one example", learn anything quickly, and adapt well to anything. .

It is precisely because of this that the 22-year-old Wai Ying-hong, who has been in the industry for five years, won the Best Actress at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie "Elders". She is also the only one so far who relies on beating women. The image of an actor who won this honor.

Overcame the demon of depression and once again won the Academy Award for Best Actress

After winning the Academy Award, Hui Ying has been famous for many years, starring in various leading roles. Start working every day.

Of course, her start was to be beaten and kicked over and over again every day in a studio with a temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius.

At the worst time, her foot was broken and there was no time to put on a cast. She sat on the hands of the staff and filmed the upper body fight scene, with the broken foot dangling underneath.

Another time, when filming a scene of jumping from the 16th floor, there was only a safety rope for protection. When the stunt double escaped, Hui Yinghong stood up and asked the martial arts instructor to kick her directly from behind.

Over the years, she was covered in injuries, and she completely lost hearing in her left ear; her nose bones were broken, and she could only breathe through her mouth.

The most anxious state of modern people is that every day when they open their eyes, they are faced with car and house payments and unpaid debts, and they wish they had to wake up again.

Hui Yinghong was even worse. Every day when she opened her eyes, she knew that she would be beaten and beaten for more than ten hours and jumped off a building...

Actors of the same period as her, It was Chung Chu Hong and Maggie Cheung. Relatively speaking, their careers as actors were much easier. Slowly, she began to wonder: "I work for more than ten hours every day. Why are others so comfortable and I am so miserable as the protagonist?"

"Why" is like a curse and becomes Hui Yinghong's inner demon.

The inner doubts have not been answered yet, and problems arise in the external environment.

In the 1990s, Hong Kong's martial arts market gradually declined, and literary films rose rapidly.

At the beginning, Shaw Brothers were worried that the image of "Hui Yinghong who beats girls" that she had painstakingly created would no longer exist, so she never provided her with literary and drama resources; Angry, she can only take on some third- and fourth-tier roles.

Hui Yinghong could not accept this gap and refused to take the role. Soon, the 33-year-old Hui Yinghong was forgotten by the public.

From being in the limelight to being forgotten, this kind of blow was fatal to Hui Yinghong. From a young age, she has always been the eldest sister who rushes to the front. Taking care of her family and being needed by others has become a habit. .

This realization that "no one needs her anymore" made her so scared that she did not dare to go out and even suffered from depression.

She also struggled hard, opened a beauty salon, and humbled herself every day to please her, which only accelerated her anxiety symptoms.

At the age of 40, she swallowed more than 30 sleeping pills and committed suicide.

Fortunately, her mother and sister discovered her abnormality in time and rescued her.

The first time she woke up, she saw the faces of her mother and sister deformed by crying, and she suddenly realized that she had done something very wrong.

After facing death and resurrecting, Hui Yinghong told herself:

"To live, you must abide by the rules of life, live well, and spend your time well every day. "

Hui Yinghong once said that her life is equivalent to two other people's lives, and the dividing line is the suicide at the age of 40.

In her first life, she worked hard for her family's livelihood. Her ability to learn and not be afraid of hardship saved her.

In her second life, she pursued spiritual values ??for herself, and was also saved by being good at learning and not afraid of hardship.

She began to actively treat depression, went to college to study acting, and put aside her dignity to go to the boss of the film company to ask for filming.

After that, she returned to her empty-cup mentality. As long as she was a good actor, there were no bad roles. She spent her whole life playing every supporting role.

In 2009, she starred as a possessive mother in "The Devil Within".

Hui Yinghong said: "I was so sure about this role. Why can't I act with such an emotional illness? It seems to be tailor-made for me."

Sure enough, because of this drama , Wai Ying-hong won the Best Actress at the 29th Hong Kong Film Awards.

When accepting the award, she burst into tears and confessed her past suicide journey. She even said: "I am very confident now. I know that I belong to the movie, even if it is just for one day or two. As long as it is a good role, I will try my best to do it well."

That year, she was 50 years old, and the scene when she won the Best Actress at the first Academy Awards 28 years ago seemed like a lifetime ago.

Later, with her outstanding performance in "The Demon", she even swept seven awards including Best Actress at various film festivals.

Zhang Ziyi praised her as a god, but she said that many things in life are trivial

Because of her superb acting skills, Hui Yinghong was called the "demon red", and Zhang Ziyi even praised her as a god .

The veil on the screen can be lifted, Hui Yinghong is really a suffering woman.

Everyone says that fate is fair. If it is bitter here, it will be sweeter elsewhere.

But Hui Yinghong is really in trouble, her family ties are owed and her love is not perfect.

The success of her career was achieved by Hui Yinghong’s hard work and pain.

A large part of the money she earned from her career was used to support her family, a pair of parents and seven brothers and sisters.

There are always many injustices in this world. Those who contribute the most to the family are often the ones who are complained about the most.

Her father died young, and she and her mother fell in love but did not know how to express their love. Because her brothers and sisters were sent away when they were young, they all resented their parents towards Hui Yinghong. The only one who had a good relationship was Hui Yinghong. , is the sixth sister who has been begging with her since childhood.

At one point, her brothers and sisters misunderstood that she was able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry because she did something embarrassing.

Because of this incident, Hui Yinghong was stabbed with a knife. It was the sixth sister who stood in front of Hui Yinghong, held the knife tightly, and cried out for her: "Sister, I really paid for my health. If you want to kill her, kill me first."

Compared to the children who were sent away at an early age, Hui Yinghong, who shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family for her parents, was the one who owed the most.

Hui Yinghong’s love life is not smooth either. Even deep down, she has always been a little woman who longs to be loved.

Many years ago, she had a rich second-generation boyfriend with whom she got along very well. Later, they broke up because of a photo album.

That photo album was taken by Hui Yinghong at her own expense in Paris.

Her boyfriend was very disgusted and said to her: "Don't go out to eat today, there are many friends."

The next day, Hui Yinghong proposed breaking up. Her point of view was very straightforward: "I It's useless to like you anymore because you don't respect me."

She was very determined: "I took the photo album to let people know that I can be very feminine, and the effect of the photo album is very healthy. . What's so ugly about not wearing clothes, it's just that a lustful person wears colored eyes."

Hui Yinghong had three love affairs, and one of the love relationships ended because of the death of her lover;

A sibling relationship broke up because she was more popular than the other person and the other person couldn't accept it.

Every time she breaks up, she is no longer sad the next day.

Her explanation was very distressing. She said, I have had strong control over myself since I was a child. Since it is not mine, I will no longer be sad. For a woman who is always devoted to her family, even falling in love becomes a burden.

Hosts who have interviewed Hui Yinghong will be impressed by her strong vitality. Lu Yu said: "Give me one of your wounds and I will be finished." Li Jingze said: "You can live alone." It’s equivalent to ten lives of others.”

Life is always difficult, and some people can’t bear it. For example, actress Lan Jieying, who lived at the same time as Hui Yinghong, had similar fates. They became famous when they were young and passed away. He was angry, his family and love were not satisfactory, and he suffered from depression.

Lan Jieying had no choice but to go to the other extreme of life, while Huiyinghong chose to go against the current.

Today, 59-year-old Hui Yinghong is alone. Fortunately, she is accompanied by her sister.

My career has won me many honors, but it has also caused me a lot of physical pain.

But now, she exudes the wisdom, dignity, charm and elegance of a woman.

Having endured half a lifetime of ups and downs, many people say she is a legend.

She said: "All this is God's best arrangement. At the age of 60, as a woman, I have the confidence to grow old gracefully. Everyone is a legend."

She once talked about her experience of "driving in the mountains on a foggy day, afraid of falling off the cliff, but finally safe."

She said: "There are a lot of fogs in life. Sometimes you are surrounded by fog and can't see anything and are very scared. But as long as you persist and it passes, it turns out that nothing happens. This is also me Belief: Many things in life are actually small things. You may think it is a big thing at that moment, but after that, it is actually a small thing. Is this life? ”

Hui Yinghong deserves our admiration. It is not only her professionalism and awe in acting; it is also her attitude towards facing the hardships of life, and more importantly, she has a heart that will always love the motherland.

Happy birthday to our great motherland!
