This is the movie "Ashima". One of the episodes "A Flower Is Fresh and Fresh". Compared with another episode, "Horse Bells Ringing, Jade Birds Sing", this song is more representative of Ashima, the flowers on the cliffs of Cangshan and Erhai in the south of the colorful clouds.
Yes, you may know Ashima, but you know that only two movies "Five Golden Flowers" and "Ashima" will shine in your life, but most of your life has been spent in a mental hospital like a one Is the "Daughter of Yunnan" Yang Likun whose dazzling flowers withered prematurely?
Yang Likun was born on April 27, 1942 in a Yi village called Mohei Town in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. With twelve siblings, she ranked ninth. Probably because the parents are genetically good, the twelve siblings all look very beautiful. At the age of 5, his mother died of overwork, which left an unhealable trauma to the singing and dancing "Little Nine". When she was 10 years old, her eldest sister took her to Kunming and fostered her at her second sister's house.
When she was 12 years old, Yang Likun and her second sister went to the song and dance troupe to watch a performance. They happened to be met by Hu Zonglin, the head of the provincial song and dance troupe. Her national beauty immediately attracted the head of the group. He thought she was a good dancer. Miaozi recruited her as a student in the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe. The head of the team has a unique vision. Two years later, Yang Likun began to make her mark on the stage. She successively served as the lead dancer of large-scale dances such as "Ten Big Sisters", "Bai Xian Bird", "Pickling Tea", "Little Bu Shao", and "Raising a Swing". .
At the beginning of 1959, Changchun Film Studio decided to shoot the film "Five Golden Flowers". In the Yunnan Provincial Song and Dance Ensemble, the director Wang Jiayi who selected Jinhua looked at all the actresses present and did not like it. When a little girl who was cleaning the window inadvertently looked back and smiled, Wang Jiayi shouted with joy: "It's her, it's her!" In this way, 17-year-old Yang Likun, from a dancer, quickly became a highly anticipated movie star. After
, "Five Golden Flowers" went to 46 countries to be released successively, setting the highest record of foreign releases of Chinese films at that time. At the 2nd Asian-African Film Festival held in Cairo, Egypt in 1960, Yang Likun also won the Silver Eagle Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. The then President of Egypt asked Yang Likun to go to Egypt to receive the award.
Yang Likun's appearance is indeed very high, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a country with a beautiful, beautiful face and a beautiful appearance. In 1964, Yang Likun, who was 22 years old, starred in the movie "Ashima", which was the first color widescreen stereo music song and dance film in Chinese film history.
However, "Ashima" put Yang Likun on the high clouds, but it quickly pushed her to hell. This film was criticized as a "poisonous weed" that "proclaims the supremacy of love" by Kang Sheng. Beating, acupuncture, kneeling rubble, shutting down the black house... From the body to the spirit, Yang Likun, who was implicated, was greatly tortured. He has been tortured by the horrible "audience hallucinations" caused by continuous criticism and psychogenic depression. she was. Because she was not treated for a long time, she eventually broke down completely and suffered from mental illness...
Several years have passed, and Yang Likun is still alone. Yes, who wants to marry a mental patient as his wife? At the end of 1970, someone introduced Yang Likun to Tang Fenglou, who worked at the Fankou Al-Zinc Mine in Shaoguan, Guangdong. Don't think Tang Fenglou is a "four types of elements" who drills, fires artillery, and quarries rocks on steep mountainside all day long, but he graduated from Shanghai International Studies University. Seeing a friend introduced him to Yang Likun of "Five Golden Flowers", he felt it was a big joke. How could a famous national star like me?
Finally, Tang Fenglou learned about Yang Likun's tragic experience. In 1971, he saw her for the first time. Tang Fenglou at the time couldn't believe his eyes. How could that brilliant star become such a country woman with a bloated body, a gray face and a dull-eyed look?
On May 22, 1973, after more than a year of correspondence, the kind-hearted Tang Fenglou, knowing that Yang Likun was mentally ill, resolutely held a wedding with her. May of the second yearAt this time, Yang Likun gave birth to twin sons Tang Yan and Tang Tao. After the birth of his son, Yang Likun's condition was extremely unstable. The burden of life at home, mental hospital, wife, and two sons almost overwhelmed this big man. It was not until 1978 that Yang Likun was transferred to the Shanghai Film Studio to reunite with her husband and son who had been separated for many years.
In 1997, Yang Likun suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and was paralyzed in bed. Three years later, at 18:30 on July 21, 2000, she died at home at the age of 58. On August 5th, all walks of life in Shanghai held a memorial service in Longhua Funeral Home to bid farewell to the eternal "Ashima" in the hearts of countless fans.
However, Yang Likun was a daughter of Yunnan and never returned to her hometown until she died. On January 15, 2001, half of Yang Likun's ashes remained in Shanghai, and half was sent back to Yunnan. After more than 20 years of absence from his hometown, "Ashima" "set foot" on this hot land again. On the same day, tens of thousands of people from all walks of life in Yunnan wept goodbye to Yang Likun, seeing off the "Golden Flower" and "Ashima" in their hearts.
On December 9, 2010, "Yang Likun's Former Residence Memorial Hall" was completed and opened in Mohei Town, Ning'er Hani and Yi Autonomous County.
Just as written on the miniature stone forest sculpture behind Yang Likun’s tomb: "The clouds disperse and I will not die, the sun will not die, my soul will never die, my voice will never die..." You are a golden flower forever! You are forever Ashima!
