I was a little surprised when I suddenly saw Li Qihong’s photo recently.
It is normal for people to grow old, but compared to the agility and refinement of 30 years ago, the lady in front of her looks like a passerby with almost no maintenance.
It would be a lie to say that she is not sad, but she is little Guo Xiang, the cutest sweet girl in the hearts of a generation, not even one of them.
Countless sweet girls born in the 1995s and 2000s are constantly emerging, but so far I have not found any one like her, with stars in her eyes, cute and innocent, and a bit cheerful.
Her sweetness is not the fragrant artificial flavors, nor the numerous industrial saccharins available today, but the sweetness of the fragrance of grass, flowers and fruits.
Looking back now, Guo Xiang's behavior in Fenglingdu when she insisted on following the big-headed ghost to see the Condor Heroes was actually very naughty. Guo Fu was justified in scolding her; the book also constantly emphasizes her free will and innocence, making her a "little girl". Dongxie" to rationalize her image.
But if the actors are not careful, they will interpret it as arrogant, frivolous, and very noisy.
But in Li Qihong's case, she didn't even need to have great acting skills to make Guo Xiang "faceless from now on."
Li Qihong was born as a Hong Kong sister. She participated in the selection of Miss Hong Kong in 1994 and won the third runner-up and the most popular media award.
She has a funny brain circuit that does not care about the life and death of others in beauty pageants. Eric Tsang asked her who she thought could win the championship, and she said No. 1. Asked her why, she said her head was big enough to hold the crown. In the Q&A between
and Zhang Keyi, she said that she did not want to win the championship. Because I don’t want to treat anyone to dinner.
Such a dangerous-looking speech would look strange and treacherous if it were made by a gorgeous beauty like Michelle Reis.
But when everyone saw her careless grin, they thought for no reason that this was the natural expression of a funny beauty, and even her imperfect gums became a sign of cuteness.
In the behind-the-scenes of "The Condor", Li Qihong said that she didn't speak Cantonese well and it was her first time filming a period costume, so she felt a little uneasy.
But Li Tiansheng told her that it didn't matter. The reason why he chose her was because she was as quirky as Guo Xiang and it was effortless to act, so she could try her best.
In addition to the protagonists of this magical sculpture, even Cheng Yinglu and Wushuang are very impressive, which has a lot to do with the casting.
Li Qihong quickly became popular due to the magical sculpture, and later played the role of Zhang Jing, the little pepper in "The Two Prides", and Yang Paifeng in "The Female Generals of the Yang Family".
From Guo Xiang's smart and straightforward character, to Zhang Jing's unruly and aggressive character, and Yang Paifeng's passionate and bold character, Li Qihong's performance is very good.
Many sweet girls have played Yang Paifeng, Li Qian, Wen Songxian, and Zhang Ting, but personally she is still the best. Everyone else is sweet and sassy, but she has the best overall balance.
Even in my 30s, my cheeks are still plump and my double twists are not inconsistent. This is really a talent.
In fact, it seems now that even if the roles are homogeneous, if you can become a benchmark figure in a track and have what everyone calls a "dominance zone", you can already rely on this to support your retirement. Although there are many sweet girls, those who are sweet but not too sweet are very precious.
But in addition, she actually played a lesbian in "Golden Leaves 2". The boy played by Jordan Chan did not hesitate to shave his legs and pretend to be a woman in order to chase her.
and A Hui, who is hesitant about love in "Self-combing", realize the choice of love from the lives of two self-combing women. These two films earned her nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards respectively.
Li Qihong's career is going very smoothly. When she was famous in the early years, she even had an affair with Liming.
She took on a movie immediately after Miss Hong Kong, which was "Sir Morning" with Li Ming. In the play, she was originally the fiancée of Liming's friend, and this friend was Louis Koo.
But Louis Koo no longer loves his fiancée. He just feels that she and her family have paid too much for her, and he can't bear to break up, so he has been putting off getting married. Also, he fell in love with the sister of his good friend Li Ming.
This drama is a very TVB-style bloody drama. The male protagonist has a girlfriend, but he secretly falls in love with the second male lead's girlfriend;
The second male protagonist falls in love with the male protagonist's sister, and is moved by the female protagonist's affection. I proposed on impulse, but I still couldn't let go.
All kinds of forced misunderstandings and forced reconciliations. When I was a child, I watched it with gusto. Looking back now, I just feel that everyone is a little crazy.
Fortunately, it is just an idol drama. Watching beautiful faces falling in love, and finally getting married, the mission is completed.
However, after the performance, scandals spread, saying that Liming pursued Li Qihong and bought her a car and a house, but she was always unwilling to accept it.
They once clarified this point when they were on the show. The show at that time was really loose.
The scandal was really popular at that time, and some people still believe that Li Ming was chasing her.
In fact, judging from Liming's private attitude towards her, there may not be any clues, but since it was mentioned in the program, the person involved probably didn't want to put it on the table.
I saw some entertainment news describing Li Qihong as very miserable, saying that she was unwilling to accept Liming because the burden on her family was too heavy, and she wanted to concentrate on her career to help her family.
The actual reason is unknown, but the situation in her family is indeed not very good. The main reason is that her mother has mental illness, and there is a inheritance of such diseases in the family.
She has wanted to know this kind of knowledge since she was a child. She studied psychology in college and later entered the entertainment industry by chance.
But as we all know, the entertainment industry is a hub for mental illness. Even good people will unfortunately be shot, not to mention that it is potentially dangerous.
She finally inevitably suffered from depression and took a rest for nearly a year. Soon after, he got married and had children, and gradually faded out of the public eye.
When she was not acting much, she took a nursing course. Later, she spent a lot of time working as a psychiatric nurse at the Royal Inland Hospital in Canada. Although it was very hard, she felt very solid.
Therefore, the doctor in "Beijing Meets Seattle" almost played her true character, but at that time many people could not recognize her.
The common trouble of all sweet girls may be that they cannot continue to be sweet. Time does not allow it, and neither does technology.
Even if it can be done reluctantly, the audience is unlikely to accept it. Looking at the recent crusade against Zhou Xun, even if we don’t talk about acting skills and script concepts, the siege on his facial state alone is cruel enough.
If the sweet girl cannot successfully break through, what awaits her is either having nothing to do, or living in endless contrast, and usually it is both.
"Beijing Meets Seattle" is a 2013 movie. She actually had a lot of activities around this time, but now it seems that she was not considered young at that time. It must be a person who is born with heavy neck lines, and there is no special maintenance in the later period, so it looks a little looser.
She said that she lived too far away and it was inconvenient to go out to work, and she had to deal with air tickets and accommodation. Others don't have to look for her, and they gradually fade away after coming and going.
By the time of the interview in 2017, she was already in a very passerby state, but her eyes were still lively and cute. Xiao Dongxie seemed to have never left. Maybe she was really peaceful and happy inside.
Therefore, she is relatively calm about getting old. She can post photos of her face-offending without any pressure and face everyone's sighs and doubts.
Someone asked her if she had allergies and why her face was red and white with lots of spots. She said no, I think it's a menopausal problem.
So look around, is it true that a 54-year-old woman who doesn’t take care of herself looks like this when she’s bare-faced?
What’s more, she has lived in the mountains of Canada for a long time. The mountain wind and sunshine are very harmful to the skin. Over time, she looks older than many of her peers in China. It is not surprising.
Regarding this matter, she had responded a few years ago, saying that she had no money and was not good at dressing up, and she did not want to get involved in this aspect, otherwise it would be endless.With such a completely relaxed state of mind, I guess I have no intention of being in the expensive circle for a long time.
A few years ago, I was still interested in the term "aging gracefully". I felt that people really shouldn't work too hard just to look young, and they should accept the reality when they get older.
But later on, you will quickly discover that getting old means getting old, those sagging skin and muscles, those increasing spots and fine lines, and the body that suffers from constant back pain.
Aging is really depressing and even scary. You can’t be any more elegant. Even Zhao Yazhi has to be criticized for her neck lines.
Recently, everyone from Sun Li to Li Qihong has given me a sense of healing. We are all just mortal bodies, and our stunning beauty will not become distorted and saggy in the end.
Compared with the huge gap between them, ordinary people's "beauties' words in the mirror and flowers' words in the tree" are not so cruel.
If people on the street have enough food and clothing (not high material desires), maintain a good attitude, worry less and exercise more, the effect of reducing age may be better than that of celebrities.
