just past November 1, is the 84th birthday of the famous performing artist Xie Fang. Here, we wish the old artist Xie Fang a happy birthday!
Talking about Xie Fang, it should be said that there are many people who know her. She is a representative of intellectual women in the new era of Chinese film, and she can be regarded as a goddess who plays intellectuals, especially in the 1950s and 1960s "Song of Youth" and "Early Spring "February" and "Sisters on Stage" are the classic trilogy left by Xie Fang.
In 1959, "Song of Youth" was released. This is a revolutionary historical feature film shot by Beijing Film Studio. It tells the story of the intellectual woman Lin Daojing who finally embarked on the road of revolution after many weeks and hardships. At that time, many star actors wanted to play the leading actress Lin Daojing, including the younger sister of the novel author Yang Mo and the famous actress Bai Yang. However, the famous director Cui Wei served as the head of the Central South Art Troupe where Xie Fang worked. He knew about Xie Fang and knew that she had a strong intellectual temperament that could not be concealed. After an audition, Cui Wei fought hard and decisively chose Xie Fang, an opera actor who had no experience in film acting.
With the role of Lin Daojing in "Song of Youth", Xie Fang, who was on the big screen for the first time, became a hit. In the city, you can see "Lin Daojing Head" everywhere. Her blue shirt and white scarf became "Standard" for many girls. It can be said that Xie Fang was one of the most popular female movie stars of that era. In 1962, she was named the 22nd largest movie star in New China.
Because of the great success of "Lin Daojing", three years later, the famous director Xie Tieli approached Xie Fang and invited her to play the role of Tao Lan, the heroine of "Early Spring February". In the movie, Tao Lan is similar to Lin Daojing in "Song of Youth", both intellectuals, and new women who resist the old ethics and pursue individual liberation.
In 1965, Xie Fang and Cao Yindi co-starred in the drama "Sisters on Stage", which tells the story of Yue opera artists Zhu Chunhua and Xing Yuehong who were oppressed in the old society and liberated in the new society. In the movie, she plays Zhu Chunhua, who is kind, honest, and pure.
Resolute and steadfast Lin Daojing, Tao Lan who is pursuing liberation, and Zhu Chunhua who is pure and pure-three similar and different female characters not only present Xie Fang's acting skills three-dimensionally, but also achieve Xie Fang like a rising star .

Xie Fang was born on November 1, 1935 in a family of intellectuals in Huangpi, Hubei, and his ancestral home is Yiyang, Hunan. Because the three eastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese at that time, the parents took the meaning of reminiscing and regaining the land, and named Xie Huaifu for the freshman daughter.
In 1951, Xie Huaifu, who graduated from high school, wanted to study medicine and be a nurse, but it happened that the music department of the Zhongnan Cultural and Artistic Troupe was downstairs from Xie Fang's house. She often went to watch other rehearsals. The leader of the cultural industry troupe knew that she was good-looking and had artistic talents, so she asked her if she would like to be a member of the cultural industry troupe. As a result, Xie Huaifu became an actor of the Zhongnan Arts and Crafts Troupe (later Wuhan Song and Dance Theater). During the period of
in the Central South Art Troupe, Xie Huaifu quickly became a key actor trained by the opera house with his good artistic talent and solid musical skills. He starred in many major shows and performed on the same stage with the famous singer Zhang Mu who later became his lover. Many operas, such as "Little Erhei Marriage", "White-haired Girl", "Goodman and Young Lady", "The Sun Rises", and "Blooming Fruit" are very popular.
Xie Huaifu was renamed "Xie Fang" in the early days of New China. As I just introduced, because director Cui Wei chose her to play Lin Daojing in "Song of Youth" because of her unrelenting choice, she became famous in one fell swoop. But when the film was shown, the subtitler wrote "Xie Fang" as "Xie Fang". She made the mistake and changed her name to Xie Fang, which is more feminine. In 1963, Xie Fang became an actor in the Beijing Film Studio.
Xie Fang's early artistic career, in addition to starring in "Song of Youth", "Early Spring February" and "Sisters on Stage", he also starred in drama movies "Shanhua" and "Tears". As a famous actor, after more than ten years of having no choice but to encounter a good role, in 1980, she ushered in a character she likes very much, playing the role of female scientist Ding Jieqiong in "The Second Handshake". After
, Xie Fang starred in the movies "Li Qingzhao", "Princess Wencheng", "Give you a piece of tenderness", "Nine-Nine Sunny Days", "Liu Qiaoer's House Flies A Little Foreign Girl", and the TV series "Supreme Food King", "Girl in the Red Chamber" and "None Regretful Loyalty" etc.
In 2015, Xie Fang won the 15th China Film and Performing Arts Society Golden Phoenix Award for Lifetime Achievement, and in 2016, he won the 33rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Lifetime Achievement Award. After that, regardless of the old age, he starred and participated in "Nankou 1937", "Hu Peilan", "Fang Huo Fang Fei", "Six Years, Six Days", "Da Chen Island Oath", "Those Women", "Our 40" "The Year" and other TV dramas.

Xie Fang’s lover is a famous singer, a national first-class actor, and former director of the Chinese Opera and Dance Theater, Zhang Mu, born in 1930, from Dehui, Jilin. In this regard, someone once said that what Xie Fang envied the most was not her career, but the romantic and pure "fairy" love between her and her husband Zhang Mu for more than 60 years.
At the time, at the Zhongnan Cultural and Artistic Troupe, he was Dachun in the opera "White Haired Girl", she was Xier, he was the Xiao Erhei in the opera "Little Erhei Marriage", and she was Xiaoqin. Couples are played in many stage plays, and even colleagues in the group jokingly call them "stage couples." Gradually, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and they came together naturally. On October 1, 1957, Xie Fang and Zhang Mu walked into the palace of marriage under the witness of relatives, friends and colleagues. Not long after
got married, Xie Fang was selected by the crew of the movie "Song of Youth". It is a rare opportunity to play the role of the heroine Lin Daojing in the movie "Song of Youth". Zhang Mu is also happy for his wife. During the filming of "Song of Youth", Zhang Mu wrote to Xie Fang almost every day, encouraging and spurring his wife, and also confiding his thoughts about his wife.
Today, the two elderly people, one 89 and the other 84, are romantic and affectionate and share the joys and sorrows for more than 60 years. Today they still go shopping together, go for walks, and participate in various performances and activities together. They are a model envied by everyone in the art world Couple. "Wish to be one-hearted people, white heads are not separated" is a true portrayal of the love between the two old artists "fairies". Although
has the words "the sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk", Xie Fang and his wife are still optimistic and cheerful, full of enthusiasm for life, and they have composed a song of immortality for us with practical actions.
It is said that Xie Fang and his wife are both famous artists, should they own a luxury car? In fact, they retired early and paid less. Of course, they were also older, so their transportation vehicles were three-wheeled motorcycles. Often, Zhang Mu, as a big brother, always meticulously opened the car door first, escorted his wife into the car, then gently closed the car door, and then "suddenly" started their tricycle and headed away.
Xie Fang once told reporters about this: "Zhang Mu is a horse, he likes to run away, I am a pig, so he loves to stay at home. He drives me around on a three-wheeled motorcycle every day, last time I was on the overpass. The car overturned, so I asked my son to take pictures of us. My son said that you were in a car accident and took pictures. I said it was performance art." Then, he laughed.
really envy this loving elderly couple. I wish Xie Fang and Zhang Mu couple health and longevity!
