host Cao Kefan also posted on Weibo to express his condolences: "Every time I meet Sister Peipei, I am moved by her hearty laughter. Even if I talk about the difficult years in the past, She never complained or lamented. We often communicated in Shanghainese. She said that when she spoke Shanghainese, she felt like she was back in her childhood, and her soft and elegant old-fashioned Shanghainese sounded very friendly in recent years. I have always heard that Sister Peipei is in poor health. I never expected that she would be separated from us forever. There is no pain in heaven. I wish her a good journey!"
Zheng Peipei's representative works include "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". "The Female General of the Yang Family", "Swaying Gently", "Lotus Lamp", "Lover's Stone", "The Drunken Man", "Mulan", etc.
For young viewers born in the 1990s, Zheng Peipei is the generous and wise "Sister Peipei" in the reality show "Flowers and Boys". For movie fans born in the 1970s and 1980s, Zheng Peipei is the "Mrs. Hua" in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", the "Taijun She" in the "The Young Lady" series, and the "Blue-Eyed Fox" in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". However, For older audiences, Cheng Peipei is the most glorious and beautiful chivalrous woman in early Hong Kong martial arts movies.
Zheng Peipei, born on January 6, 1946 in Shanghai, China, is a Chinese film and television actress. In 1963, he was admitted to the Southern Experimental Theater Company and joined Shaw Brothers Film Company after graduation.
In 1963, the teenage Zheng Peipei took on the male role in the movie "Lotus Lantern". Her heroic beauty was noticed by director King Hu, who invited her to star in "The Drunken Man", the pioneer of China's new martial arts film. Since then, she has carved her own path in the Hong Kong film industry where "sweet sisters" were popular in the 1960s with her free and easy image of a chivalrous heroine, and was dubbed the "Martial Arts Queen" by the press.
Zheng Peipei was born in Shanghai. Her childhood growth experience allowed her to inherit the simple and upright values of mainland youth of that era. She must be clear about right and wrong. So when I came to live in Hong Kong, I couldn't stand the "feasting lights" and "prosperity and luxury" of Hong Kong. In the film industry, he is also appreciated by his peers for his straightforwardness and professionalism.
It is said that she had a strong sense of responsibility at a young age. Once on her birthday, Director Hu Jinquan and several other people got drunk, and she really acted like a heroic heroine, dragging them one by one and sending them back to their respective homes. . In Cheng Peipei's memory, the Hong Kong film industry was very prosperous at that time, with talents emerging in large numbers. The company protected actors and reporters also protected them. Young actors lived in the company dormitories. Everyone was very innocent. It was a very beautiful era.
After that, she got married, raised her husband and raised children, experienced divorce, and returned to Hong Kong. Decades have passed. The young girl has also experienced many ups and downs, and she is now middle-aged. The Hong Kong film and television industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the once-popular Hong Kong martial arts movies are gradually declining. My former friends and teachers passed away one after another. Zheng Peipei suddenly had a feeling: there seemed to be an arrangement somewhere, and her mission when she came back seemed to be to send these people who were destined to her on their last journey.
In 1992, Zheng Peipei became a disciple of Taiwanese Master Hsing Yun and studied Buddhism. The once strong chivalrous woman has gradually become a tolerant elder. In many film and television works, she has created images of "parents" with great love, righteousness and kindness one after another.
She has also participated in many foreign productions. In 2014, she co-starred with Ben Whishaw in the movie "Jiggle", playing a mother who only learned that her son was gay after his death.
Her role in this role was somewhat beyond the expectations of some viewers, but to her, it was extremely normal. Her original intention was simple. First, she thought the script was good, and second, she wanted to provide some help to young directors who were directing feature films for the first time.She said that when she sees many young people working hard, they always think of their own children. Everyone hopes that when their children need help, others will be willing to help.
Cheng Peipei was also nominated for the Best Actress Award at the 17th British Independent Film Awards for this role.
In April 2014, Zheng Peipei participated in the first season of "Flowers and Boys".
In November 2018, Zheng Peipei won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th Huading Award.
In 2020, he co-starred with Liu Yifei in the Disney live-action movie "Mulan", playing the matchmaker.
In recent years, Zheng Peipei has rarely appeared on stage. A few months ago, Liu Tao, who had a deep friendship with Zheng Peipei because of "Hua Shao", revealed on the show that Zheng Peipei's health was particularly bad. Zheng Peipei once wrote to Liu Tao, "I can't do everything I want, but I hope it will live up to my heart."
