Huang Liushuang, an untimely Hollywood China actress.

Hollywood in the United States is a paradise that many stars dream of. During the Republic of China, there was an actress in China who stepped into the white world by her own efforts.

However, when she finally made a name for herself in Hollywood, she suddenly looked back and found herself an outsider.

The China actress's name is Huang Liushuang, and she is the first Asian actress in Hollywood.

Huang Liushuang was born in Los Angeles on 1905. His family is the third generation Chinese who immigrated to the United States.

Although Huang Liushuang has been looking for gold in the United States since his grandfather's time, he found nothing in the United States, while Huang Liushuang's father's generation was still poor.

Huang Liushuang's original name was Huang Amei, and her parents opened a laundry in Los Angeles. They worked all day long, but they didn't make much money.

Huang Liushuang's parents gave birth to eight children, and Huang Liushuang was the second child. She helped her parents wash clothes since she was a child.

Because of her poor family and low education level in Huang Liushuang, her parents have no other expectations for her. They only hope that this daughter can grow up smoothly, and then marry a man of her own and spend her life safely.

At that time, poor families only had a small dream. ...

However, Huang Liushuang didn't listen to her parents' arrangement. She chose a bumpy movie dream.

At that time, the film industry was in a period of development. American film companies often go to Chinatown to film, while young Huang Liushuang always takes time off and quietly runs to the shooting scene to watch. ...

"What are those people doing? Why are they walking around? "

Young Huang Liushuang made a big question mark in her mind. She was curious to find out, but she didn't know the answer.

So Huang Liushuang ran home and asked her family, and her father told her it was a movie.

"Making movies is amazing."

From that moment on, Huang Liushuang planted a movie dream in his heart. She fantasized that she could go out and make a movie.

Huang Liushuang wants to make a film, and his father knows about it. He told his daughter loudly that making movies is not what a serious girl should do.

Father's resolute opposition did not make Huang Liushuang back down, but strengthened her determination to make a career in the film industry.

17-year-old Huang Liushuang is very lucky to play an unknown English hostess in the American film "Hanging the Red Lantern High".

This is Huang Liushuang's first electric shock. Her China girl's face and innocent performance left a deep impression on the film company. ...

Hollywood studios decided to support Huang Liushuang and make this "China Baby" their cash cow.

1924, at the invitation of douglas fairbanks, Huang Liushuang starred in the American film The Robber of Baghdad, in which she played a treacherous Mongolian slave.

1927, Huang Liushuang's American film Old San Francisco was released. This time, she played a prostitute in China in the film.

These two films have achieved good results in the United States, and Huang Liushuang also appeared on the cover of 1927 issue of Liangyou Pictorial 16.

Huang Liushuang became famous in Hollywood, but Chinese in the United States didn't like her.

China people in the United States think that Huang Liushuang's role in the film is either a mistress, a slave or a prostitute, which is an insult to China people.

In fact, Huang Liushuang really wants to play these roles, but as a low China person, she has no choice. ...

The boss of the Hollywood film company once told her clearly that she should either play these roles well according to the company's requirements or get out of the movie circle.

I heard that, Huang Liushuang bowed his head. She didn't say a word, and all the white people around her were watching her jokes.

"Hum, yellow girls are not qualified to be picky."

The exclusion of film companies and the mistreatment of Chinese Americans left Huang Liushuang at a loss.

From 65438 to 0928, Huang Liushuang left Hollywood for Europe.

Just, can Europe really find its own movie dream?

Huang Liushuang thought of here, not a shiver. ...

In Britain, Huang Liushuang made five films and won many praises.

1929, Huang Liushuang starred in the British film Chinatown, which was her last silent film.

Once Fan Huameng in Chinatown was released, it caused a sensation throughout Britain.

British cinemas, cafes and restaurants are promoting this film, and Huang Liushuang was invited to attend the Royal Banquet with this film, which can be described as fame and fortune.

1930, at the invitation of Paramount Pictures, Huang Liushuang decided to leave Europe and return to Hollywood to film.

After Huang Liushuang returned to the United States, her situation was still very bad. She was criticized for starring in the movie Dragon Girl.

China people think that Huang Liushuang sold his soul for fame and deliberately vilified China people on the big screen according to the meaning of American film companies. Such a woman is simply unforgivable.

Faced with all kinds of accusations, Huang Liushuang could not refute them. She decided not to be at the mercy of the film company. She wants to make some high-quality movies to save her image in China.

But Huang Liushuang is just a China actress, and her fate is not in her own hands. The boss of the film company still let her play a role without nutrition.

1932, Huang Liushuang and marlene dietrich * * * co-starred in the American film "Shanghai Express", which made a $3.7 million opening box office in the United States.

In the film, the actress in white shines brilliantly, while Huang Liushuang can only play the role of a brothel woman.

"Another brothel woman, this woman is hopeless!"

China people are increasingly dissatisfied with Huang Liushuang, and exhausted Huang Liushuang wants to cry.

Really can't meet a good role?

Huang Liushuang is not reconciled to this. She wants to fight against the white world. ...

Shortly after the film Shanghai Express was released, Huang Liushuang starred in the first American film Grand Hotel set in Shanghai, in which she played the female number two.

However, when the film was released in Shanghai, Huang Liushuang was surprised to find that her name was deliberately hidden in the film promotion.

Angry Huang Liushuang wants an explanation, but who can give her justice?

"No, I will never give up."

Stubborn Huang Liushuang decided to give it a try. She doesn't believe that she can't beat fate.

1936 65438+ 10, Nobel Prize in Literature's The Good Earth, written by the famous American woman writer Pearl Buck, will be adapted and filmed in the United States.

Huang Liushuang has always liked Pearl Buck's works. She knows that this film is about real women in China.

Huang Liushuang actively fought for the heroine in the film The Good Earth, but she finally failed because she is a woman from China.

It turns out that no matter how hard you try, you will still be an outsider in the end.

Desperate Huang Liushuang began to get tired of Hollywood. The Avenue of Stars is beautiful, but such beauty does not belong to China stars.

"I come from China and my roots are in China."

Huang Liushuang wants to go to China. No matter how good America is, it is not her home.

1936, Huang Liushuang arrived in China by cruise ship, and was greeted by more abuse than applause.

Facing the satire of China media, Huang Liushuang never defended herself, she just wanted to kiss this land.

Of course, in China, Huang Liushuang also had a happy time. She was warmly received by Mei Lanfang, a Peking Opera master, and Butterfly, the "movie queen".

Huang Liushuang saw the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. She sincerely likes her motherland, and she is ashamed that she made a film with the nature of "insulting China".

Huang Liushuang, who returned to the United States from China, stopped making films that damaged the image of China people. She is determined to be a real China person.

When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Huang Liushuang worried about the safety of the motherland day and night. On 1942, she filmed the anti-Japanese propaganda film Bomb in Myanmar and Lady Chongqing.

Huang Liushuang also used his influence in the United States to speak out for the suffering motherland, calling on overseas Chinese to donate money, and donated all the bombs in Myanmar and his wife's salary to the United Relief Society in China.

Unfortunately, Huang Liushuang's efforts didn't win the understanding of the people around him. 1942 During Song Meiling's visit to the United States, almost all overseas Chinese celebrities were invited, except Huang Liushuang.

Because in Song Meiling's eyes, although Huang Liushuang is an actress in China, the film starring her is detrimental to national dignity, and it is really difficult to be elegant.

Huang Liushuang, who didn't receive the invitation, was very sad. She could only swallow the bitter water silently and pretend as if nothing had happened. ...

Huang Liushuang didn't want to be at the mercy of American film companies, which abandoned her.

Huang Liushuang, who had nothing to shoot, looked at the bright starry sky and smiled helplessly.

The only thing that makes Huang Liushuang feel gratified is that she supports her family with her own salary, and all her brothers and sisters have received higher education and become a decent middle class.

Only Huang Liushuang has been running around for half his life, with nothing, and even love has passed by ...

Huang Liushuang has only been in love once in her life, and her lover is film producer Mitch Nylan.

They love each other deeply, but they can't get married, because white people can't marry China girls.

At 196 1, lonely Huang Liushuang died of a heart attack, and a tear hung in the corner of her eye. She is only 56 years old this year.

Huang Liushuang is a legend forgotten by history. As the first Chinese actress in Hollywood, she strives for the upper reaches and is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. Unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time, but I grew up hating the water flowing eastward. ...
