On November 17, 1945, an ordinary and legendary life was born in Guangzhou. She is Hu Yanni, the most popular and popular star of Shaw Brothers Film Company in the 60s of the 20th century.
Hu Yanni was born during the war years, her father was a chemical engineer, and her mother was a gentle and virtuous German woman. The two met in Germany and married each other and gave birth to this naturally proud mixed-race beauty.
With the end of the war, the family of three moved to Taiwan, and then when Hu Yanni was 14 years old, the family moved to Germany and started a peaceful life. Hu Yanni in her girlhood has an outstanding face and temperament, elegant manners, and is simply a treasure created by God according to the beauty standard.
Aspires to become an actor and enter the film and television industry
Recalling that back then, many young Germans fell in love with this Chinese girl with elegant and sometimes heroic demeanor. However, she is cheerful and sunny, and she has never been sincere with anyone, but has put all her enthusiasm into the stage of her dreams - she aspires to be an actress and stand in front of the crowd, just as she has dreamed countless times at home.
The dream of his youth finally came true at Shaw Brothers Film Company. Hu Yanni came to Hong Kong with a small suitcase and joined this top company with a reputation in the Chinese film industry.
became an instant hit and became the head of the "Shaw Brothers Twelve Golden Hairpins".
The first step into the entertainment industry was a struggle: the Shaw Brothers, which focused on costume dramas at the time, had difficulty arranging a person with a unique appearance like her. In the face of adversity, Hu Yanni showed excellent tenacity and courage, and finally won an important role in the modern drama "He Rijun Comes Again" in just over a year, and became famous in one fell swoop.
With her elegant and charming temperament and superb acting skills, this mixed-race woman became the most popular "Shaw Brothers No. 1 Beauty" at that time. Since then, Hu Yanni has frequently starred in Shaw Brothers films, and her career has been booming.
According to the memories of many actors of the same period, Hu Yanni seemed to be the "dream lover" of the company's popular traffic students, and celebrities such as the Jiang family's son cast a blazing eye on her.
However, this innocent and unworldly beauty has consistently rejected all suitors with her graceful and generous posture, focusing on her acting career, which has amazed countless people.
Give up your career for love
But fate played a big joke on Hu Yanni at the peak of her career. One night, at the age of 33, she met Conway, a small character in the Shaw Brothers film industry, at a party, and the two fell in love at first sight, and a marriage destined to be ups and downs began.
At that time, Hu Yanni could be described as the dream lover of a huge master and a wealthy son from all walks of life, and her elegant and unique temperament made countless young men taste the taste of frustration. Conway, who was born in an ordinary background, is not worthy of this glamorous "Shaw Brothers No. 1 Beauty" at all.
Sure enough, when the relationship between the two came into the public eye, Shaw Brothers expressed great dissatisfaction and opposition. As a popular actress in the company, Hu Yanni's love life has naturally received great attention.
The company firmly opposes her association with a small character, believing that it will seriously affect Hu Yanni's public image. What's even more terrifying is that once Hu Yanni really combines with Conway, it will inevitably lead to the interruption of her career, which is undoubtedly a big loss for the company.
In the face of many obstacles, Hu Yanni has also experienced painful entanglements in her heart. At that time, she could be said to be in full swing and beautiful, and she was the dream lover of countless young men's heartthrobs.
But in the face of Conway's infatuation, she finally made a decision that the company did not expect - in order to stay with her sweetheart until old age, she would rather choose to give up the flowers and applause of her career and stay away from the film industry.
Hu Yanni made up her mind and married Conway in Hong Kong in the same year. Since then, this popular Xuanzi has retired from the film and television industry and lived an ordinary life as a husband and children.
Many years later, recalling the choice she made back then, she said to her son: "Although I gave up the peak of my career, it is the greatest happiness in my life to meet the person I like and form a happy family."
Hu Yanni's decision undoubtedly caused an uproar in the entertainment industry at that time. A top-notch star worth millions of dollars does not hesitate to give up everything for love, which is simply crazy.
Shaw Brothers was also incompetent and furious about this, and the company not only lost its leading talent, but also witnessed a good story come to an abrupt end. However, even though her career was hit by this, Hu Yanni never had any doubts and regrets about her decision. Because in her eyes, being able to have a marriage worthy of cherishing for a lifetime is more precious than the false name of a drunken gold fan.
Immigrate to United States in pursuit of better development
Embracing ordinary life doesn't mean resting on its laurels. Hu Yanni immigrated to United States with her family and began to seek new development opportunities. But the good times did not last long, and for a period of time, they did almost all the decent things, but none of them succeeded.
Under the heavy blows, this former top star also had self-doubts, and even apologized and regretted the decisions he made in the past. However, with extraordinary tenacity and courage, she and her husband finally made a breakthrough in the jewelry business, and life has been on the right track ever since.
Later life
Many years later, Hu Yanni returned to the screen at the age of 58 and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the movie "Dragon and Phoenix Fight" with her outstanding acting skills. This former film celebrity, now once again conquers the audience with his strength, proving his pure love for his career.
At the same time, the development of her sons in the United States is also getting better: the eldest son Yin Ziyang is an excellent lawyer, and the younger son Yin Ziwei works hard in the entertainment industry and eventually becomes a well-known actor.
The news of Yin Ziwei's engagement to the popular mainland actress Xu Dongdong caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, bringing Hu Yanni, the former costume drama "Living Flowers", back into the spotlight. mentioned her son's marriage, she just indifferently expressed her blessings.
Seeing that her son repeated her emotional experience of "many resistances" like Yin Jianping back then, Hu Yanni, who has experienced all kinds of life situations, can look at each other calmly. Because she knows that as long as you truly love each other, nothing can be surpassed.
Now, more than half a century has passed since she gave up the pinnacle of her career. Hu Yanni's life can be described as ups and downs, and she has experienced ups and downs, but she has always maintained her belief in life that she is indifferent to fame and fortune and cherishes her family, and finally lived a happy and healthy old age.
In the end, she and her husband Yin Jianping passed away one after another, leaving this earthly world that had given them a lot of resistance. In the face of the mourning of his family and friends, her son said that "my mother has lived a full life and has no regrets".
