Hui Yinghong's family has experienced family ups and downs. She is a descendant of the nobility of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, and may even be related to the Empress Dowager Cixi. However, when she was born, the glory of the family was gone.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hui Yinghong's grandmother was liquidated, and the wealth accumulated by the family disappeared in an instant. When Hui Yinghong was 3 years old, her father smuggled the whole family to Hong Kong, hoping to start a new business in this prosperous land.
The boxes of gold they carry with them should have been able to secure their lives, but Hui Yinghong's father has great ambitions and wants to make a comeback.
Hui's father, who was ambitious, bought several shops on several streets at once. However, his new foray into the business world soon struck a brutal blow to reality: overnight, all his family fortune was lost.
This defeat was a great psychological blow to him, and he collapsed in bed from then on.
Hui Yinghong's family gradually declined, and the livelihood of the eight people fell completely on Hui's mother alone. In order to reduce the burden on Hui's mother, her four older siblings were sent to the theater troupe as apprentices.
Hui Yinghong, who was only 3 years old at the time, had to beg with her mother in the nearby red light district to make a living.
Hui Yinghong is still young, but she has to shuttle through the noisy streets every day, stretching out her immature little hand to passers-by. In the face of life, these eyes that should be full of innocence have long been full of confusion and helplessness.
This difficult period left a deep imprint on Hui Yinghong, which not only shaped her tenacious character, but also laid a solid foundation for her future success in the entertainment industry.
From a Manchu aristocrat to a girl begging on the streets, Hui Yinghong's childhood was full of ups and downs, but it also taught her how to survive and struggle in the face of adversity early.
Under the pressure of a difficult family environment, 13-year-old Hui Yinghong had to step into the dance hall and start her working career. In the beginning, due to her young age, she could only play an inconspicuous role on stage, and even could only be an obscure extras in a bulky lion suit.
However, Hui Yinghong did not sink because of this, she carefully observed, practiced diligently, and looked forward to one day being able to show her style on the stage. This belief soon paid off, and with her talent and hard work, she successfully made a name for herself in the "Miramar" song hall.
When Hui Yinghong was 16 years old, the god of fate showed her a warm smile. On this day, the famous director Zhang Che was casting for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he fell in love with this graceful dancing girl at a glance.
Hui Yinghong originally auditioned for the role of Han Xiaoying in "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan", but her performance was so good that Mr. Jin Yong decided to hand over the important role of "Mu Nianci" to her on the spot.
For newcomers, it is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to be able to play the second female lead in the works of big directors. However, when Shaw Brothers Film Company threw an olive branch to Hui Yinghong, she fell into hesitation.
Originally, Hui Yinghong's mother did not support her daughter's entry into the entertainment industry, she believed that the income of stage actors was higher than that of actors, reaching 1,500 yuan per month, while actors only had 500 yuan. Therefore, she felt that it was an unwise choice.
However, Hui Yinghong has a more long-term vision than her mother. She knows that 500 yuan is just her starting point, and the future development path will be broader. Therefore, 17-year-old Hui Yinghong made a bold decision very decisively - signed a contract with Shaw Brothers without telling her mother and officially stepped into the showbiz.
Since then, Hui Yinghong has started her acting career. Although her salary at the beginning was only one-third of that of a dancer, she always believed that as long as she worked hard, she would one day be able to stand at the peak of her acting career.
This girl, who was born in the "red light district", is moving towards her dream step by step, and has proved her choice right with practical actions.
Hui Yinghong's story tells us that only those who are prepared can seize the opportunity. Her hard work in the ballroom opened the door to the film and television industry, and her vision allowed her to seize this precious opportunity.
From a cabaret dancer to a rookie in the film industry, Hui Yinghong has interpreted what courage and determination are with her actions.
Hui Yinghong's outstanding martial arts talent on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" immediately attracted the attention of many directors. Her agility and tenacious perseverance opened the door to the world of action movies.
The opportunity was not long in coming. After the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ended, the crew of "Rotten Head He" directed by Liu Jialiang was looking for a powerful heroine. The original heroine quit because she was not qualified for the action scene, and Hui Yinghong accepted the challenge without hesitation.
What she didn't expect, however, was that the character would have to endure a great physical ordeal.
At one point in the film, the heroine is required to receive a blow that lasts more than 40 punches. In those days, stand-ins and fake shots were not widely used, which meant that every punch needed to be directly hit on Hui Yinghong's body.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a young woman.
However, Hui Yinghong knew that this opportunity did not come easily. Despite the odds, she chose to persevere. During the filming process, Hui Yinghong was often bruised and scarred, but every time the director shouted "turn on", she could always immediately adjust her state and show the demeanor that the character should have.
This dedication and dedication to the performance deeply touched everyone in the crew. At the same time, Hui Yinghong's outstanding performance let the audience see a different actress - she is not only beautiful and moving, but also very hard-working.
It is with such a tenacious and unyielding spirit that Hui Yinghong quickly emerged in the field of action movies. Her movements were clean and her shots were fierce, and the audience was shocked by the power that burst from this petite woman.
Success comes from hard work. In 1981, 21-year-old Hui Yinghong successfully won the Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards with her outstanding performance in the film "Elders", becoming the youngest actress in Hong Kong.
This award is not only an affirmation of her acting skills, but also a reward for her dedication and perseverance.
Since then, the name of "beating women" Hui Yinghong is almost unknown to everyone in Xiangjiang City. She used her strength to prove that women can also shine in the field of action movies. This little girl who used to beg in the red light district has now become a high-profile new star in the film industry, known as Hong Kong's No. 1 female star.
Hui Yinghong's success not only changed her own destiny, but also opened a new chapter for the Hong Kong film industry.
Hui Yinghong's acting career was not smooth. In the 90s, the Hong Kong film industry began to turn to literary romance films, and action movies were no longer as popular in the market as they used to be, which had a huge impact on Hui Yinghong.
The image of "beating women" that made her famous back then has now become a shackle to her career development. The number of dramas is decreasing, and the type of characters is gradually becoming single. What's worse is that some elder characters such as "mother" and "sister-in-law" also came to the door, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Hui Yinghong, who was not yet 40 years old at the time.
Seeing the huge gap in this situation, Hui Yinghong found it difficult to accept it for a while. She began to wonder if she was getting old and no longer up to the job in the fast-changing film industry.
In this state of confusion and confusion, Hui Yinghong made an important decision - to leave the showbiz temporarily.
She chose to open her own beauty salon in an attempt to find a new direction in life outside of her acting career. Although the business of the beauty salon is good, this is obviously not the life that Hui Yinghong really wants.
Leaving the familiar set and the performance she loves, Hui Yinghong feels an unprecedented emptiness and loss.
In 1999, Hui Yinghong, who was 39 years old at the time, unfortunately fell into severe depression, and in a desperate moment, she swallowed drugs at home and attempted suicide. However, fortunately, her sister found her in time and sent her to the hospital for treatment.
This experience, full of life and death, has become an important turning point in Hui Yinghong's life.
With the love and encouragement of her family, Hui Yinghong began a long journey of treatment. In the past 5 years, she bravely stepped out of the psychological shadow and regained her love and understanding of life little by little.
This experience made her re-examine her love for acting and made her cherish every moment of her life even more.
Hui Yinghong, who came out of the haze of depression, decided to return to the film industry. This time, she is no longer limited to her previous image, but interprets every role with her heart, whether it is a supporting role or a villain.
Hui Yinghong's eyes rekindled her enthusiasm for acting, as if she had returned to her youth when she entered the film industry at the beginning of that year.
Success is achieved through hard work. In 2009, Hui Yinghong won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress again after 28 years with her outstanding performance. In 2017, she successfully won the Best Actress at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie "Lucky Is Me".
In the same year, she also won the honor of Best Actress at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
This series of achievements not only affirms Hui Yinghong's acting skills, but also praises her perseverance. From the trough to the peak, Hui Yinghong used her own experience to interpret the real rebirth.
Her experience tells us that even if we are at a low point in life, as long as we do not give up hope and always maintain our love for our dreams, we will be able to create our own glory.
62-year-old Hui Yinghong is still single, which is very rare in the entertainment industry. The legendary life experience makes people curious about her love life. What is puzzling is why this actress with a successful career chose to live a single life.
It is rumored that the reason why Hui Yinghong has never been married is because of her unforgettable nostalgia for her first love. Her first love happened when she was selling small goods.
In those days of scarcity, a United States sailor named John frequented Hui Yinghong's stall to buy some cigarettes and occasionally chat with her. As a blonde foreigner, John's friendliness is like a ray of sunshine that warms Hui Yinghong's young heart.
However, before this budding relationship could bloom, John found Hui Yinghong and told her that he was going to fight in Viet Nam and might never come back. Hui Yinghong was originally waiting for a beautiful relationship, but she was deeply hurt by the sudden goodbye.
This moment of farewell left an indelible mark on her heart.
Young Hui Yinghong may not fully understand whether it is love or not, but after four failed relationships, she finds that she can't forget the blonde-haired sailor.
The memory of the first love of this relationship has become the most precious treasure in Hui Yinghong's heart.
Even though many years have passed, first love still occupies an important place in Hui Yinghong's heart. In 2017, when Hui Yinghong received the award in the United States, she still asked veterans: "Has anyone ever been to Wan Chai?" Does anyone still remember the little girl with a double ponytail? From these words, you can still feel her deep attachment to her first love.
Perhaps because of the profundity of her first love, Hui Yinghong always has expectations for love. Despite the great success of her career, emotionally, she seems to have been waiting for someone who may never come back.
Hui Yinghong's emotional world is as legendary and mysterious as her life. Hui Yinghong used a lifetime of waiting to interpret the beauty and unforgettable of first love. Her dedication to love became part of her unique charm.
Throughout Hui Yinghong's 62-year life, from a 3-year-old street begging girl to a four-time golden actress, her story is comparable to the real-life version of Cinderella. Hui Yinghong's legendary experience is not only her personal success, but also provides valuable life inspiration for all dreamers.
In her 40-year acting career, Hui Yinghong has starred in 177 film and television works and created 177 wonderful roles. These roles not only enriched her acting career, but also shaped her tenacious character.
Faced with the difficulties of life, Hui Yinghong chose to face the difficulties. From her life of begging to being a dancer in a song hall, to a rookie in the film industry, she used her own efforts to change her fate.
When her career was at a low point, she was not afraid of difficulties, had the courage to break through herself, and finally re-ascended to the top of the film industry, even if she experienced emotional disappointment, she still maintained her yearning for love.
Hui Yinghong's attitude towards life can be expressed in her own words, "I firmly believe that I belong to the movie." This love and dedication to the film industry is the strength that she can get back on her feet and move forward every time.
Her story tells us that no matter how difficult life is, as long as we keep dreaming and loving, we will be able to create our own legend. From the "red light district" to the "podium", Hui Yinghong has used her life's experience to interpret real success - it is not only fame and fortune, but also the process of continuous self-transcendence and perseverance in her dreams.
