Known as "the girl with the clearest eyes in Chinese movies" Shen Jie, what kind of life is she now?

In 1983, Lin Haiyin's novel "Old Things in the South of the City" was made into a movie. The movie saw the world through the eyes of a child Yingzi, Xiao Yingzi could not distinguish between what is good and what is bad. The film tells the story of Yingzi's childhood. The film won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Feature Film at the 2nd Manila International Film Festival, and the 3rd Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Music and many other awards. As the film aired, this girl with big eyes entered the hearts of countless audiences. The actor who played Yingzi

was called Shen Jie, who was only ten years old at the time, with a round face, a pair of clear and innocent eyes, especially the close-up shots given, I believe they have been fixed in the minds of the audience. Over the years, many people still miss Xiaoyingzi in the movie. Where did "the girl with the clearest eyes in Chinese movies" go and what kind of life did he choose?

​​Shen Jie was born in 1972 in a family of ordinary workers in Yangpu, Shanghai. Both of her parents are drama lovers. Little Shen Jie went to the Children's Palace to learn acting in the first grade of elementary school, and later received special training in the children's studio of Shanghai TV. In 1979, she played Su Guanlan's daughter Su Zhenzhen in the Shanghai TV drama "Second Handshake" and played the role of Lily in the TV series "Flower".

later also filmed several films such as "This Is Not a Misunderstanding" and "Under the Eaves of Shanghai", but none of them have much influence on "Old Things in the South". In 1990, 18-year-old Shen Jie went to Japan to study alone after graduating from high school. Shen Jie, who is unfamiliar and unaccompanied in Japan, stayed for ten years. Shen Jie studied law for four years in University. After graduation, Shen Jie first worked as a researcher in a research center of a film consortium. Although

studied hard in the cold window of Japan, she was still discovered by the media and NHK TV invited her to host a program introducing Chinese culture. After graduation, Shen Jie established a cultural company. By chance, a student of Ms. Lin Haiyin, the author of "Old Things in the South", gave Shen Jie a set of novels. The "Story of Marriage" attracted Shen Jie so much that later, Shen Jie, as a producer, produced the TV series " "Marriage Story", Shen Jie also played the role of Wang Yunyi.

Today, Shen Jie is the mother of two children. She lives in Tokyo, Japan. In recent years, she has worked as an artist director for a Chinese film and television company, and she also spends a lot of time in Shanghai. In the photo, Shen Jie smiled faintly, her face was gentle, and the shadow of Xiaoyingzi was faintly between her brows. Her eyes remain clear when she is middle-aged, and she is a gentle and moist woman.

Recently, at the director Wu Yigong's memorial meeting held by the Shanghai Film Museum, the two actresses Shen Jie and Zhang Min in "Old Things in the South" gathered again to remember their teacher Wu Yigong. The little girl back then is 47 years old now, but her big beautiful eyes are still so clear and charming.

Zhang Min has been abroad all these years, now she is 63 years old, and she finally appeared in front of the audience again, which is very happy. At the event, Zhang Min recalled: "I was very lucky to have made three films with Director Wu. "Bashan Night Rain" was my first film and changed my life. He is a very calm and gentle person. Tell the actors, concise and clear.”

​​Because of "Old Things in the South", the audience remembered Yingzi with tears in his eyes and Shen Jie. Although she did not follow the path of a child star as people expected, she did what she liked and lived a life she liked. But Xiaoyingzi, who she played, has been fixed forever in the history of Chinese movies. Here, I wish Shen Jie can always maintain such a beautiful smile and heart. I also wish 63-year-old Zhang Min good health and eternal youth, and hope to have the opportunity to see her new role once again on the screen.
