Nowadays, with the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people also need to have entertainment in their spare time. As a result, the film and television industry began to flourish. The film and television in this society are owned by the whole people, because now that life is better, people have the ability to consume. In the period of the Republic of China, when Chinese movies were just beginning to develop, movies were just a pastime tool for the rich, and ordinary families looked down on movies at all.
However, the film development of that period was not greatly affected, and there were also many influential stars. If you talk about the modern history of Chinese movies, then there is one person who must not be ignored. She is the once smashing Ruan Lingyu.
Ruan Lingyu was born in Shanghai on April 26, 1910, originally named Ruan Fenggen and scientific name Ruan Yuying. She grew up in a poor family at the bottom of Shanghai. When she was 6 years old, her father, a worker, died of illness. The family relied on her mother as a servant. A profession like a servant not only makes no money, but is looked down upon by others.
Little Ruan Lingyu spent her childhood in the Zhang family where her mother helped her. Ruan Lingyu has no siblings at home because of her father's early death, and she stays with her mother almost all day. Ruan Lingyu spent 9 years in the Zhang family in the Shenzhai compound. Early life also developed Ruan Lingyu's melancholy and pessimistic character.
In this yard, she met her first love-Zhang Damin. He was the fourth young master of the Zhang family. He fell in love at first sight when he saw Ruan Lingyu, who was 15 years old at the time, so he started a crazy pursuit of Ruan Lingyu. In addition, Zhang Damin was only 18 years old at the time, and he was also a handsome boy. The ignorant little girl in love can't resist Zhang Damin's crazy pursuit and sweet talk, but Zhang's parents absolutely did not agree to the son to marry the servant daughter, so Zhang Damin offered to let Ruan Lingyu live with him as a threat to his parents.
When the Zhang family learned of the news, they cut off this "evil fate". The Zhang family drove away Ruan's mother and forced them to leave the Zhang family to cut off the contact between Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin. However, Zhang Damin, who was dazzled by love, hid from his family, arranged the desperate mother and daughter Ruan Lingyu to temporarily settle down at Hongqingfang on North Sichuan Road. After that, Ruan Yuying, who was only 16 years old, dropped out of school and lived with Zhang Damin in a nondescript cohabitation life.
Ruan Lingyu is a beautiful person. Under the introduction of a friend, she entered the famous star movie salary at the time. The first film she starred in was "Famous Couple". With this movie, Ruan Lingyu became a popular star and earned As he gets taller and taller, he naturally looks even more indifferent to the rogue Zhang Damin, and Zhang Damin always asks Ruan Lingyu for money, which hurts Ruan Lingyu's heart.
Ruan Lingyu's amazing acting talent completely conquered the audience and even the director. From 1926 to 1928, she starred in 5 films including "Famous Couple" and became a new star in Shanghai. In 1928, she transferred to the Great China Baihe Film Company and starred in 6 films including "The Treasure of Love" in just one year. The market response was also very good.
Just when Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin were entangled, the second man in her life appeared. This person was named Tang Jishan. She was a wealthy businessman and a shareholder of a film company. Tang Jishan was mature and stable, and gave Ruan Lingyu security that she did not have before. Sense, the two were together soon.
However, happiness is always so short-lived. How can a rich man like Tang Jishan lack women? Ruan Lingyu finds that Tang Jishan has other women, and she feels frustrated. So Ruan Lingyu devoted all his energy to filming, and his acting skills were getting better and better. At this time, the third man in Ruan Lingyu's life appeared. This person was named Cai Chusheng. They met during the filming. Yes, Ruan Lingyu thought that she had found true love this time, but it was a pity that Cai Chusheng turned out to be a married man, and the two had no choice but to break up.
In the end, Ruan Lingyu was exhausted. She couldn't bear the slander and insults of public opinion, and sought peace by suicide. On March 8, 1935, Ruan Lingyu committed suicide by drinking sleeping pills at home. Before his death, Ruan Lingyu left a four-character last word "people say fearful" at home. Now it seems that these four words are helpless! When she was buried after her death, nearly 300,000 fans were buried for her. This incident also shocked the entire China at that time.
