In this era, various short videos, live broadcasts, and games have emerged one after another. Various auditions and variety shows are also like chewing, so that some people named this era as "entertainment to death". Lace news of various stars always dominates the hot search, traffic stars attract the attention of almost all young people, but those old scientists and old heroes "no one cares." It is no exaggeration to say that a traffic star can affect the hearts of millions of young people, and the fanaticism of the star chasers is no longer what we can imagine. Throughout the ages, is there anything more crazy than star chasing in this era, really.
Speaking of Ruan Lingyu's name, many people must have heard of it. In 2005, she was selected as one of the "100 Best Film Actors in China's Centennial Film History" by the 14th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. She was born in 1910. More than a hundred years ago, the situation in China was changing, with the invasion and oppression of foreign powers and the melee of internal warlords. Ruan Lingyu was born in a family of low-level workers. His father, Ruan Yongrong, was the pillar of the family, but died young because of tuberculosis and no money for treatment. After Ruan Yongrong died of illness, Ruan Lingyu, who was only 6 years old, had to follow her mother to work as a servant in someone else's house.
The host surname of the mother and daughter is Zhang, a local wealthy family. Zhang Damin, the fourth young master of the Zhang family, is 6 years older than Ruan Lingyu, who made him have a profound influence on Ruan Lingyu's youth. The mother has a low level of education, but she knows that in order to make her daughter different from her, she must be educated. So her mother was frugal to provide for Ruan Lingyu to go to school. At the age of her first love, Zhang Damin, a dude boy, can finally "pursue" with confidence. 15-year-old Ruan Lingyu is still in the second year of junior high. Zhang Damin tricked Ruan Lingyu into cohabiting with him by using rhetoric. He is not so much "love" for Ruan Lingyu as possession.
Ruan Lingyu was photographed by the director at the age of 16, and participated in her first movie "Famous Couple". With her pure looks and immature temperament, Ruan Lingyu, who just debuted, has captured the hearts of a group of audiences. Once an actor becomes popular, his ability to make money and his worth will naturally increase sharply. Before that, Zhang Damin had paid for Ruan Lingyu's living expenses during his cohabitation year, so after Ruan Lingyu got out, he took her for granted as his "meal ticket." There are many places where the dude has to spend money. As he grows older, the living expenses provided by the family are far from full of Zhang Damin's needs.
In 1932, the "January 28 Songhu Anti-Japanese War" broke out. Ruan Lingyu, like many ordinary people in Shanghai, went to Hong Kong to escape the war. By chance, Ruan Lingyu met the businessman Tang Jishan. Tang Jishan's mature man's tenderness and delicacy deeply attracted Ruan Lingyu, and because of his own wealth, it was impossible to ask for money from Ruan Lingyu, so Ruan Lingyu would inevitably have a good impression of him in sharp contrast. When the war subsided, the two returned to Shanghai. Ruan Lingyu left Zhang Damin without saying a word and started living together with Tang Jishan. Where Zhang Damin would like his "long-term meal ticket" to be robbed, he took the two of them to the court with a pleading.
Tang Jishan's gentleness, maturity and delicacy gave Ruan Lingyu a sense of security that Ruan Lingyu had never had before, so Ruan Lingyu trusted him very much. It wasn't until she realized that she was just one of the many actresses that Tang Jishan played with, that she realized that she was "just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den". The two failed feelings brought a heavy blow to Ruan Lingyu, and she has always been in poor spirits because of this. It was not until 1934 that Ruan Lingyu finally came out and met the director Cai Chusheng during the filming. One is a talented director, and the other is a beautiful and popular actress. As the two approached each other, the sparks gradually emerged.
Ruan Lingyu originally thought that she finally found love this time, but Cai Chusheng never told him that he was already married, and he was just playing with Ruan Lingyu. From the beginning of love to having a husband, Ruan Lingyu's three relationships are all true in ignorance. But her sincerity and infatuation were exchanged for deception and injury time and time again, Ruan Lingyu, who had mixed feelings, finally collapsed. On March 8, 1935, Ruan Lingyu's body was found in her residence. She had swallowed 30 sleeping pills before her death. The 25-year-old Ruan Lingyu ended her life and left Shanghai at that time in a sad atmosphere.
On March 14, 300,000 people attended her funeral spontaneously, and 12 celebrities such as Cai Chusheng helped her. Far across the ocean in the United States, newspapers described the funeral as "the largest funeral in the modern world." After all, Mr. Lu Xun’s funeral,Only 100,000 people participated. In addition to the astonishing number of 300,000, what is even more surprising is that on the day of the funeral, 7 people went with her because of excessive grief. The mourning voices of the funeral crowd kept coming and going. They cried: "Ruan Lingyu is dead, what are we doing alive?" They all said that this is the era of "entertainment to death", but compared to Ruan Lingyu's era, we seem to be still Slightly worse.
