Shu Xiuwen, who was once named "One Hundred Excellent Actors in Chinese Films", in fact, the "origin and extinction" between her and the performance are not controlled by herself, but she especially cherishes her fate with the performance. From the moment she took the hand of the performance, she had been holding it tightly with her own selfless efforts and moving forward until she finally had to let go.
Shu Xiuwen's father, Shu Ziben, had an original wife, but he met Shu Xiuwen's mother, Xu Peilan, while teaching in middle school. The two made a lifelong commitment, and in 1915 they gave birth to Shu Xiuwen. Because the two could not stand the pointing and pointing of others, they moved to Beijing with Shu Xiuwen.
Shu Xiuwen's family originally had a good life, but after moving to Beijing, the family's prosperity declined. First Shu Zixin lost his job, and then Shu Zixin was addicted to smoking marijuana and owed a lot of foreign debts.
Shu Xiuwen's family reached a point where it was difficult to survive, and 15-year-old Shu Xiuwen was forced to drop out of school and then go to a dance hall to work as a dancer to meet the family's survival needs. After arriving at the dance hall, Shu Xiuwen initially mainly danced for others, and later became the lead singer of the dance hall because of her moving singing.
When Shu Xiuwen was working as a dancer, a reporter told her that he wanted to take her back to Shanghai to get married. The young Shu Xiuwen wanted to go home to seek his parents' advice before making plans, but his father was ready to send Shu Xiuwen to the creditor to pay off the debt.
Sadly, she ran away from home and went to Shanghai with the reporter. But I didn't expect that the reporter was originally a person with a family, Shu Xiuwen was very angry, and after she left the reporter, she found a restaurant to work.
It was when he was working in the restaurant that a scout named Gui Gongchuang chatted with Shu Xiuwen, and he knew that Shu Xiuwen had the ability to sing and dance, so he invited him to the film company to try it. Shu Xiuwen felt that the film company was very novel, so he gladly agreed.
Shu embroidered the text is mediocre in appearance, the temperament is not outstanding, and because he has just entered the company and has no acting experience. The director gave her a "one shot only" role. But Shu Xiuwen she has not been able to "pass", so the director scolded her. Shu Xiuwen was very angry, and she resolutely left the film company, determined to learn acting.
At Shu Xiuwen's age, she was supposed to study well, but she was forced by her family to go all the way. From dropping out of school, working as a dancer, working in a restaurant and then to a film company, it can be said that she inadvertently entered the show business circle. But her rich experience has actually become an intangible wealth for her to engage in acting, and some people say that on the road to success, two kinds of people are needed, one is a noble person, and the other is a villain, and these two kinds of people have been met by Shu Xiuwen.
Gui Gongchuang brought Shu Xiuwen into contact with film performances, providing her with a direction and being a noble person on her life road. The director is the "villain" on the road of her life, and it is his contempt that touches Shu Xiuwen's "not accepting defeat" heart, which makes her decide not only to continue to take the road of film performance, but also to work hard.
Shu Xiuwen is not a person who only makes up her mind not to act, and from the time she decided to study acting, her efforts seem to have not stopped for a moment.
She first went to many drama clubs, and in each drama club, she seized every performance opportunity and constantly honed her acting skills, and her efforts were also fruitful. Once, she went to the CPPCC auditorium to perform and recited Mr. Lu Xun's "A Small Thing", and the leaders of the state at that time praised her performance one after another.
When Shu Xiuwen found that her acting skills had been improved, she did not forget her original intention of working hard to improve her acting skills. She began to participate in film performances, and after participating in the film, Shu Xiuwen became more diligent, and she gradually developed her own professional habits.
First of all, Shu Xiuwen pursues a comprehensive and profound interpretation of the script. Every time she gets the script, Shu Xiuwen will repeatedly read the script carefully, and she must figure out the role of each sentence in the movie each time, and then try her best to realize the value of each line in the movie.
Secondly, Shu Xiuwen is very pursuing the authenticity of the performance. On the one hand, she attaches great importance to accumulating material in her daily life. Every time she walks on the road, she will carefully observe the pedestrians to see what class they are, and then write down the different performances of people of different classes on the road as her own performance material.

On the other hand, she will really experience life for the sake of the role. She does not stop at understanding the skills required by the characters in plays and movies, she must learn them herself and reach a professional level. In 1950, in order to shoot the movie "Female Driver", she went to learn to drive a train, and after her very serious and hard study, her level of driving trains passed the professional certification.
Shu Xiu's diploma has created many deeply rooted characters for the broad masses of the people through his "pure fire" acting skills. In the movie "Daughter Sutra", she played a frivolous and charming dancer with flowers and branches. In her masterpiece "A River of Spring Water Flows Eastward", she vividly shows the image of a socialite who is close to the powerful, domineering and unscrupulous to achieve the goal.

She not only participated in dozens of films, but also voiced butterfly, the heroine of China's first sound film "Singer Red Peony", becoming the first voice actor in China, and making great contributions to the progress of China's film industry.
From the moment Shu Xiuwen decided to learn to act well, she began to devote herself to performance. She integrates her acting career with her life well, which is a key factor in her ability to become a performing artist. Many of the ways she has worked hard for her work have become her professional habits, which is also worth learning.
When Shu Xiuwen has become deeply fascinated by performance, she hopes that she can create more and better works. However, "the sky did not go according to people's wishes", and in 1965 Shu Xiuwen suffered from "rheumatic heart disease", which made her unable to adapt to the fast-paced film shooting, so she chose to become a drama actress. But her health was still deteriorating, her heart attack was repeated, and she had to go to the hospital for surgery.
She had hoped that her body would recover and then she could continue to perform the performance she loved. However, it did not take long for the situation to be unstable, and many people said that she put up a shelf and casually insulted and scolded her. Shu Xiuwen suffered more severe persecution both psychologically and physically. She already had a heart attack, and she had cirrhosis of the liver, and her health had become extremely bad.

During that period, Shu Xiuwen, who had divorced her husband, was also forced to separate from her adopted son, and Shu Xiuwen lay in a hospital bed all day without anyone taking care of her at her bedside. Shu Xiuwen became skinny and swollen, and he could only lie in a hospital bed every day waiting for death.
She knew that she was powerless to return to heaven, but her heart was still worried about her adopted son. However, In the end, Shu Xiuwen did not leave her savings to her adopted son, but only left a suicide note to her adopted son. In her suicide note, she said that her most precious wealth is the spirit of selfless struggle, and she hopes that her son can stick to the spirit she once held on to throughout his life.
Finally, when Shu Xiuwen was critically ill, someone called to inform his son to visit her for the last time, and his son did not arrive in time. Shu Xiuwen died, and she never had the opportunity to perform after all.
Although Shu Xiuwenlai had already suffered from heart disease, if she could be treated well according to her due treatment, she could continue to do what she loved. But fate took her life hard, and also ruthlessly cut off her fate with performance, and the beginning of her fate with performance was not her active choice. But life is always helpless, and she can fully grasp the time to pay when she has the opportunity to perform.
