Wang Ying: Love and hate of talented female filmmakers

1on the afternoon of March 3, 974, in a dark room, there was a skinny old woman who was dying and wanted to cry. ...

No one answered her. She was tired and finally stopped.

She passed away this afternoon. She is five days away from being 6 1 year old.

There is no name on her death certificate, only a prisoner code 6742.

The tragic death of the old woman named Wang Ying was once a famous drama actress, film actress and beauty writer.

Wang Ying, formerly known as Yu Zhihua, was born in Wuhu, Anhui.

Wang Ying's childhood was very miserable. It turns out that Yu Jia is a declining scholar and her mother is very talented. She began to teach her daughter to read very early.

Unfortunately, the good days in Wang Ying did not last for a few years. At the age of eight, his mother died of illness. Soon after, his father married another woman.

Stepmother hates Wang Ying very much and regards her as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.

Wang Ying's father is also an irresponsible person. He doesn't care about his daughter.

Later, the stepmother simply sold Wang Ying to a family and became a child bride.

Wang Ying was abused in her husband's family. She committed suicide twice and was found to be saved.

Afraid of death, her husband's family kicked Wang Ying out.

Wang Ying left her husband's family, but it was difficult to get back to her home. In desperation, she went to her aunt's house and took her aunt's surname Wang.

My aunt named her niece Wang Keqin. In order to survive, Wang Ying went to Xiangya Nursing School to study.

Xiangya Nursing School is a missionary school, where Wang Ying has laid a solid foundation in English.

Born in poverty, Wang Ying's thoughts are progressive, and his heart tends to be revolutionary.

After the "April 12th Incident", Wang Ying went to Shanghai to participate in the "Aid Korea Association", the peripheral organization of the * * * production party.

At this point, Wang Keqin has been included in the blacklist of writers of "Clean-up Party". Xie Bingying took the word "Ying" in its name and renamed it Wang Ying, which means white and transparent.

Wang Ying met Xia Yan, Hong Shen, Yang Hansheng and other left-wing dramatists at the aid meeting, and they discovered Wang Ying's acting talent.

Therefore, Xia Yan and others decided to train Wang Ying as the backbone of drama and help her study drama and literature in Shanghai Art Institute, Fudan University, Jinan University and China Public School.

1930, Wang Ying entered the university. 17 years old, she joined the China * * * production party.

Through his own efforts and understanding, Wang Ying's performance skills have been greatly improved.

Wang Ying starred in Milton's The Charcoal Miner when she was in Shanghai Art Drama Club, and started her artistic career.

1932, the film group headed by Xia Xing entered the film industry and introduced the "Left-wing Drama Club". Many new writers and artists joined the film company, and Wang Ying naturally joined this big family.

Wang Ying's first film was Woman's Scream directed by Shen Xicen.

This film is based on Xia Yan's "The Bonded Worker", which is the first film in the history of China film to show workers' lives positively.

Wang Ying plays contract worker Ye Lian. Her skillful acting has been well received by left-wing film critics and recognized by many audiences.

Wang Ying's second film is Yang Hansheng's Red Tears on the Iron Plate.

Wang Ying plays Zhu Xiao, the daughter of a poor farmer.

After the release of Red Tears on the Iron Plate, it caused a sensation in the whole film circle, and newspapers all over the country unanimously praised the film's great artistic achievements in thought and art.

Major newspapers and periodicals also praised Wang Ying's performance. They think it is very rare for a "college student" like Wang Ying to play a rural girl so truly.

The third film starring Wang Ying is "Qiu Tong", which is a story with the theme of uniting against Japan, praising the heroine Xiao Fen for letting bygones be bygones and welcoming young officers who give up on themselves to fight the enemy at the front.

In the play, the idea that the hatred of the Yin nationality is greater than the hatred of the domestic people is transformed into a distinct performance, and a patriotic female image who understands the overall situation and takes care of the overall situation is shaped.

Wang Ying made several progressive films in succession, and she became a heroine in the eyes of the audience.

Among the left-wing film companies, Wang Ying is the only one who can be called a star.

Although Wang Ying is already a big star, he has been living a simple life.

Wang Ying doesn't perm her hair, wears cloth cheongsam, doesn't go to dance halls and doesn't socialize.

Because in Wang Ying's mind, he made movies not to be famous, but to awaken people's hearts.

Wang Ying made another film "God of Freedom", but now she has become the target of public criticism.

Wang Ying was taken away by the police on trumped-up charges while filming "God of Freedom".

In the detention center, Wang Ying was supercilious and resolutely protested.

The "God of Freedom" is not free. People are very sympathetic to Wang Ying, and they all support Wang Ying.

Under the pressure of the people, the police station had to release people.

After this incident, Wang Ying realized the darkness of society, and the film industry was mixed.

In order to expose the darkness and hypocrisy of the film industry, Wang Ying wrote Breaking Through the Darkness of the Film Industry. In this article, Wang Ying angrily attacked the decadent and vulgar style of the film industry.

Wang Ying can not only act, but also write well. She is a standard talented actress.

Wang Ying has a good sister, Ai Xia. She is also a strange girl who can act and write. Unfortunately, Ai Xia was deceived by married director Pingqian Li, scratched by tabloid reporters, and committed suicide by taking poison in despair.

Ai Xia's death made Wang Ying feel guilty, because Ai Xia looked for her on the night of suicide, and Wang Ying was filming Qiu Tong at that time, so she asked Ai Xia to go back first.

Wang Ying hates why he can't see the abnormality of Ai Xia, and he is even more angry that tabloid reporters are still writing articles after Ai Xia's death.

Angry Wang Ying wrote a eulogy "No Last Words with Ai Xia", in which she accused the dark film circle.

Later, Ai Xia's story was adapted by Cai Chusheng into the film "New Woman" and put on the screen, starring the popular actress Ruan.

Sadly, Ruan committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills at the age of 25, not long after filming The New Woman, but also because of the oppression of Tang Jishan and tabloid reporters.

The film industry is really dark and Wang Ying is boring. She decided to have a rest.

Wang Ying boarded the ship to Tokyo alone. When she left, she didn't tell anyone, but left a paragraph she wrote.

Wang Ying went to Japan for a period of time to study performing arts. She missed her motherland day and night and set foot on her way home.

This time, Wang Ying returned to China. He didn't make a film, but concentrated on the drama.

1936, Xia Yan wrote a drama "Golden Flower in the City", but there was a wrestling.

Jinshan and Zhao Dan both want to play Li Hongzhang, while Wang Ying and Lan Ping want to play Sai Jinhua.

Jinshan and Zhao Dan are good brothers. They have something to discuss. Finally, Zhao Dan quit.

But Wang Ying and Lanping are incompatible. It is said that "Golden Flower" was originally written by Wang Ying, but Lanping also wanted to play this role.

Wang Ying and Lanping have known each other for a long time. They have acted in several films, but the main characters are Wang Ying.

Lan Ping has never been brilliant in Nora, and there has never been any good work.

Therefore, if Lan Ping wants to make a comeback, she must get the role of "Sai Jinhua".

At that time, Wang Ying and Jinshan had become lovers, and Jinshan was naturally indignant when he saw someone vying for the role of his girlfriend.

Jinshan pulled a group of people to set up the "1940s Drama Club" and rehearsed the drama "Sai Jinhua" with Wang Ying alone.

After the release of the drama "Sai Jinhua", the response was enthusiastic, and the play was performed from Shanghai to Nanjing, which was a sensation.

Lan Ping, who failed in the gladiator, felt humiliated and went to Yan 'an alone.

At this point, Wang Ying didn't know what it meant for Lanping to go to Yan 'an. She just devoted herself to her work and fell in love with Jinshan in her spare time.

1938, Jinshan and Wang Ying organized a "national salvation group", which lasted more than two years and went to Hongkong, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and other places to raise money for the Anti-Japanese War.

During the benefit performance in Singapore, Wang Ying also met Yu Dafu and Wang Yingxia, and they chatted happily.

When Wang Ying gave a charity performance in Malaysia, his wonderful performance and noble temperament were well received by local overseas Chinese.

Therefore, Wang Ying has the reputation of "Malaysian lover".

However, behind the glamorous, it is emotional discomfort.

Jinshan/Kloc-came to Shanghai at the age of 0/7, and had a strong Jianghu habit, which made Wang Ying unbearable to live a clean life.

Wang Ying kept her discontent to herself. She knows her priorities, and she doesn't want to delay the benefit performance because of personal matters.

When Wang Ying performed the short play "Put Down Your Whip" in Singapore, it happened that Xu Beihong was also in Singapore. He painted an oil painting of "Put down your whip" for Wang Ying, and the portrait also mentioned "Wang Ying, the heroine of China".

1940, Wang Ying and others were expelled from Singapore and Malaysia under Japanese pressure.

194 1 year, Wang Ying went to Hong Kong, where she joined the Association of Visiting Dramatists.

In order to cooperate with the propaganda of anti-fascist struggle all over the world, Wang Ying participated in the performance of Professor Mamlock (also known as Hitler's Masterpiece), and got the help of Soong Ching Ling, the leader of's "Grand Alliance for the Defence of China" and foreign friends.

Soon after, the Governor of Hong Kong surrendered to the Japanese army and left Hong Kong himself.

Under the severe situation, Wang Ying, Xia Yan, Jinshan, Cai Chusheng and Huimin Situ came to Chongqing.

After Chongqing, Wang Ying broke up with Jinshan.

It turned out that when Wang Ying and Jinshan were performing in Guilin, they met Xie Hegeng, the secretary of Bai Chongxi.

On the surface, Xie Hegeng was the secretary of Bai Chongxi, a warlord in Guangxi, but in fact he was an underground party member.

Xie and Geng are knowledgeable and virtuous, and they like him very much.

At first, Wang Ying didn't want to go into Xie Hegeng because he was Bai Chongxi's secretary. She was overjoyed when she learned the true identities of Xie and Geng.

Xie and Geng also like enthusiastic and capable people, but he was forced to marry Bai Chongxi's cousin. What should I do?

But the arrival of love is unstoppable, and Xie Wang loves each other deeply.

Jinshan heard from Wang Ying that she was going to America with Xie Hegeng, and he understood everything.

Since you can't get it, let it go.

Jinshan gave up Wang Ying, and soon after, he went after Zhang Ruifang.

From 65438 to 0942, Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng went to the United States to study in the name of "sending overseas students" by the Kuomintang government.

In the United States, it was agreed with Xie and Geng that everything should be work-oriented, and they would never live together before Xie and Geng divorced.

During his stay in the United States, Wang Ying studied art while writing novels.

Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng are also running around the United States to promote War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

1943, at the invitation of the American government, Wang Ying performed "Put Down Your Whip" in English at the White House.

The play was warmly praised by President Roosevelt, his wife and senior officials, and Wang Ying became the first China actor to perform in the White House.

Wang Ying's acting has conquered the American audience. At that time, many American newspapers were saying one by one.

After many efforts, Xie Hegeng finally divorced his wife and married Wang Ying in the United States.

From 65438 to 0946, Wang Ying began to write the autobiographical novel Bao Gu, which lasted more than 300,000 words and more than two years.

Wang Ying worked very hard to create this novel. They didn't have much money, and Wang Ying was pregnant at that time.

Wang Ying miscarried because of overwork and lack of nutrition.

From then on, Wang Ying lost her fertility again, which was a heavy blow to her.

However, Wang Ying completed Bao Gu with amazing perseverance. In the novel, she described the local conditions and customs of her hometown Wuhu in detail with delicate and warm brushwork, and vividly told different stories of herself, her grandmother and her mother.

At the same time, Wang Ying also translated the novel into English.

1949, New China was founded. Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng were very happy, but the US government refused to let them return to China and asked them to become American citizens.

Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng's uncooperative attitude angered the US government, and then the US Immigration Bureau arrested and imprisoned them.

Later, Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng returned to Beijing on New Year's Eve 1955 after the solemn representations of the China government and the care of Premier Zhou Enlai.

Wandering wanderers for many years can finally go home, and Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng feel extremely relaxed.

Unfortunately, the quiet days didn't last long. 1957, Xie Hegeng was beaten to the right and sent to work.

Wang Ying can only move to Xiangshan in Beijing to continue her creative career.

After Xie Hegeng came back, the couple lived cautiously. ...

But the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop, and a big commotion begins.

Xie and Geng were examined at home first, and then the husband and wife went to prison respectively.

In this terrible disaster, Xie Hegeng survived, but Wang Ying was not spared.

Xie Hegeng never believed that his wife was gone. He just sits at home and waits for Wang Ying every day.

Wang Ying really won't come back. ...

1On July 6th, 979, the Ministry of Culture officially rehabilitated Wang Ying, and Wang Ying's Bao Gu and Two Kinds of Americans were published one after another.

On June, 2006, Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng were buried together in Shenxiantai Cemetery, Wuhu City, Anhui Province. The tombstone was inscribed by Huang Hua, former foreign minister of the State Council, with the words "the revolutionary spirit is immortal".
