When Little Dragon Girl Li Ruotong was popular, why did she fade out of the entertainment industry?

The girl was wearing a thin white cloth, as if she was in smoke and fog. She seemed to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Except for her black hair, she was all white and had a beautiful face. Absolutely vulgar, only the skin lacks blood and looks extremely pale... This is Mr. Jin Yong's description of Xiao Longnu: In 1995, Louis Koo's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released. With this TV series, Li Ruotong and Louis Koo They became famous overnight and became the most classic "Condor Group". Now, although this TV series has passed for many years, it is still a classic in the hearts of two generations, especially Li Ruotong's version of Little Dragon Girl, the eternal "fairy sister".

Li Ruotong was born in Hong Kong in 1966. His father was a worker and his mother was a full-time housewife. Her own economic conditions are not good. There are 10 children in the family, and Li Ruotong is the seventh. Although his family is poor, Li Ruotong is surprisingly beautiful, with big eyes, a high nose, and a bit of a mixed race. He even once wondered whether he belonged to "Lao Wang next door."

When he grew up, Li Ruotong once joked about this: Mom, please tell me the truth. When I grow up, I can live with it. When he was in school, Li Ruotong's grades were very good and he was always among the top in exams. However, she fell in love prematurely, and the relationship did not work out in the end. Due to his puppy love, his grades declined rapidly, and Li Ruotong also lost the opportunity to go to college. Regarding this matter, Li Ruotong said: I just fall in love and don't care about anything.

After graduating from middle school, her mother saw that her girl was very beautiful and suggested to Li Ruotong more than once to participate in the "Miss Hong Kong" beauty pageant. With Li Ruotong's appearance when she was young, if she were to participate in a beauty pageant, she would most likely be in the top three. However, he never thought about entering the entertainment industry or marrying into a wealthy family. He even scolded his mother: she is crazy. Li Ruotong liked a stable life, so she applied for the best profession at the time - stewardess. With her tall body and outstanding appearance, she successfully entered this industry.

While working as a stewardess, Li Ruotong was discovered by a talent scout. In order to support her family, she began to shoot some commercials. It was precisely because of these advertisements that Li Ruotong was spotted by big shots in the entertainment industry. In 1990, Li Ruotong appeared in the movie "The Romantic Killer" as a "guest star", competing equally with Wang Zuxian on the same stage.

In 1991, the great director Tsui Hark also saw Li Ruotong in an advertisement and invited her to star in the movie "City of Monsters" with Li Ming, Jacky Cheung, and Michelle Reis. However, Li Ruotong did not want to become a star. After the filming of the movie was completed and Tsui Hark was promoting the movie, Li Ruotong went back to being a stewardess and let Tsui Hark go.

In 1992, Li Ruotong broke up with her foreign boyfriend and fell out of love. In addition, she was very ill. She asked the company for leave and rest, but was rejected by the company. In anger, Li Ruotong resigned from her position as a flight attendant. As it happens, Johnnie To needs to shoot a movie "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple", which will be shot far away from Hong Kong. Li Ruotong also wanted to leave Hong Kong temporarily, so she signed a contract with Johnnie To and went to the mainland to film movies. At this time, Li Ruotong entered the entertainment industry. At this time, she was already 26 years old, almost "a round" later than others.

Strictly speaking, "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple" is Li Ruotong's first starring role. In the play, she made a lot of sacrifices and gave many large-scale performances. She also fell in love with the drama and was "mistressed". It is hard to imagine that she will become the "fairy sister" two years later. However, this movie did not make much waves, and it was also a serious hit on the street. In the following years, Li Ruotong starred in the movies "An Ordinary Sunday", "Flying Tiger Ambition", etc., but they were all cool.

Until the movie "Spark of Youth" starring in her was released! In "Sparks of Youth", Li Ruotong knew what filming was for the first time. This was a movie about "volleyball", for which she practiced volleyball. Because of her wonderful performance in this movie, director Li Tiansheng took a fancy to her hard work, appearance, performance, etc., and planned to let her star in the 1996 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

One day, Li Tiansheng took Li Ruotong's photo to Mr. Jin Yong. After seeing it, Mr. Jin Yong was shocked and said: She is the little dragon girl in my mind, and he immediately nodded and confirmed it.

After the leading female lead was confirmed, Li Ruotong began to read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" all night long. Sometimes she cried while watching it, and she felt very deeply. When the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" officially started, Li Ruotong devoted himself to it almost wholeheartedly, and was highly praised by Mr. Jin Yong. Although the 1995 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a remake, its classic level is much higher than that of Andy Lau and Chen Yulian, and Li Ruotong's popularity has also increased a lot. After the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was completed, Li Ruotong was so involved in the drama that it was difficult to get out of the plot for a long time, and sometimes he cried for no apparent reason. Later, with the help of her friends, she came out of the drama without any more serious consequences.

After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular, Li Ruotong's resources also increased. He collaborated with Stephen Chow in "The Secret Agent", and collaborated with Tony Leung and Jordan Chan in the movie "Hong Hsing Tsai: The Gangs and Lakes". Storm" etc. In 1996, TVB was going to film Jin Yong's martial arts "Dragon", and Li Ruotong was once again spotted by TVB, and one person played the three roles: Wang Yuyan, A Luo, and Qi Yufeng. In "Dragon", although Li Ruotong is no longer as cold as Xiao Longnu, she is also extremely beautiful and has become the "beautiful girl" in the hearts of the generations born in the 80s and 90s. In this TV series, Li Ruotong also sacrificed a lot. He was once injured in the eye by a tree branch. If he did not seek medical treatment in time, he would have lost his sight. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon" helped Li Ruotong's entertainment career open up a new world. If he can continue to go forward, the future is limitless.

Unfortunately, Li Ruotong once again changed the trajectory of his life because of love. Even Tsui Hark's wife Shi Nansheng said: Li Ruotong has great potential and acting skills, but lacks ambition. Indeed, Li Ruotong did not advocate life in the entertainment industry, and entering the entertainment industry was purely an accident. When she encounters love, she will still give up her entertainment career. Love will make her desperate.

Around 1997, Li Ruotong fell in love with a wealthy businessman. Because this wealthy businessman didn't like his significant other to be in the entertainment industry, Li Ruotong reduced many invitations. From 1997 to 2000, almost only one movie or TV series was released every year, which is very abnormal for a popular artist. In 2001, Li Ruotong starred in the TV series "The Female Generals of the Yang Family", playing the role of Yang Bamei.

At this time, Li Ruotong was already 35 years old, but with her excellent temperament and acting skills, she has created another classic. She has a womanly demeanor and is not too masculine, and it is no wonder that she is on the same stage as Tranquility at her peak. Lose a few. At present, there are many versions of "The Female General of the Yang Family", but only Li Ruotong's version of "Yang Bamei" is the most convincing, with good looks, temperament, full of personality, strength and tenderness.

In the same year, Li Ruotong also starred in the martial arts film "Wu-Tang", playing two roles: "rich lady Shen Rong, and Mongolian knight-errant Snow Eagle", and still had a good performance. After that, Li Ruotong began to "semi-retire", and no classics appeared anymore. "Yang Bamei", "Shen Rong", and "Xue Ying" are probably the last memories Li Ruotong left for everyone! From Xiao Longnu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Wang Yuyan in "Dragon", and then to Yang Bamei in "The Female Generals of the Yang Family", Li Ruotong at that time had bright eyes, white teeth, and a cool temperament, and her beauty was at a high level.

But for such a person, his emotions are full of ups and downs! In 1998, Li Ruotong dated wealthy businessman Guo Yingquan, and their relationship has remained consistent over the years. Many people say that Li Ruotong is attracted by Guo Yingquan's wealth, but this is not the case. When Li Ruotong and Guo Yingquan were together, Guo Yingquan had already resigned as chairman of "China Development", and due to the financial crisis in 1997, the new company encountered financial difficulties and was liquidated.

When her boyfriend encountered debt collection, Li Ruotong once said: "No matter whether her boyfriend is rich or poor, she will never leave him," and even used her accumulated family property to help her boyfriend pay off his debts. It can be said that Li Ruotong was fully devoted to this relationship, but unfortunately, she was still let down. In 2008, Guo Yingquan said that he no longer wanted to be with Li Ruotong.

This love ended here. In Li Ruotong's words, it was "unspeakable pain", and she is still alone to this day.

After the time entered 2010, the older generation of actors in Hong Kong started a wave of "comeback" craze. In 2013, Li Ruotong also starred in the TV series "Women's Club". In the past few years, the development in the mainland has been good. In 2017, she played Xiao Yan's mother "Gu Wenxin" in the TV series "Fights Break the Sky", and played the mother and mother-in-law "Feng Chunyan" in the TV series "Begonia Jingyu Rouge"; in 2018 In 2006, he played the role of "Lan Yi", the third generation head of the Lan family, in the TV series "Chen Qing Ling", and guest-starred as "Guanyin" in the movie "Monkey King: The Mountain of Fire"... In addition to these, Li Ruotong also Activities are on major stages, and the saying "Time never fails a beauty" has also been fulfilled in her body. It is hard to imagine that a woman in her 50s still has an ageless appearance and her age is a mystery.

Looking at the first half of Li Ruotong's life, he entered the entertainment industry with emotional trauma in 1993. The looks of Xiao Longnu, Wang Yuyan and Yang Bamei were as short-lived as a snap of a finger. After 2000, Li Ruotong once again quit the entertainment industry due to love, but her deep love was still let down, which made people sigh. When she came back again in 2013, the time no longer belonged to her. Although her temperament and figure are still the cool beauty of the past, time has still settled on her face. Here, we also wish Li Ruotong a prosperous career and find his significant other as soon as possible.
