"Peony Pavilion" once described: short dreams and long dreams are all dreams, and the next year is to go.

Just like the 1980s, there were many talented people in the entertainment circle in China. At that time, there were many actors and actresses, and countless stunning beauties emerged. They are picturesque, and with a little makeup, they are really charming.

Such a scene is like a dream. For example, Gong Xue, the "goddess", made her debut late and won the best actress only a few years later, but she chose to go abroad at her peak, which is regrettable.

As long as she can remember, she likes playing with her mother's camera.

Ignorant, she often presses the button on the camera and inadvertently takes many photos of herself during play. Some are funny, some are grinning and some are crying, which often makes her mother feel ridiculous.

Looking at himself in the camera, Gong Xue always has an irrepressible curiosity, and likes to pose in various shapes and then be recorded.

When she grew up, Gong Xue became more and more beautiful, with a watery face and elegant posture.

Influenced by the family atmosphere, Gong Xue became interested in acting. Her parents respected her choice and took her education very seriously.

In primary school, Gong Xue took an active part in the school's theatrical performances, served as the music committee member of the class, and begged his parents to send him to the Children's Palace to learn his artistic expertise.

In the third grade of primary school, he volunteered to go to the Children's Palace on behalf of the school, and the performance effect made teachers and classmates praise one after another.

However, after graduating from high school, Gong Xue was assigned to work in the rural areas of Jiangxi, and could not perform on the stage as before.

But even so, in those three years in the countryside, Gong Xue still didn't give up his ideal. In his spare time, he often goes to the open field to practice speaking, and occasionally performs a small program in front of his colleagues.

1973, by chance, Gong Xue met an art troupe that was recruiting students. Gong Xue formally put on his military uniform and became a literary fighter. He also participated in the performance of "Wheels Rolling" with the Art Troupe.

Gong Xue, who has just entered the military life, is just an extra in the team. She has no shooting experience, and during three months of shooting life, she gradually understood the characteristics of the film.

But the more in-depth contact with Gong Xue, the more she likes the feeling of filming. She thinks it's interesting to play a new role and create different roles.

1974 Gong Xue, because of his outstanding appearance, diligent working attitude and good acting skills, Gong Xue was selected to work in the Theatre of the General Political Department.

That year, Gong Xue was 2 1 year-old, but she was still an unknown little actress in the entertainment circle, with little fame and older than the famous movie stars at that time.

But Gong Xue's eyes are still full of light.

Many friends recalled that Gong Xue's eyes were shining like stars. She has always expected to be an excellent actress, and she is very happy to be elected as a formal drama actress.

In the early years of his career, Gong Xue often traveled as an extra for the main production team. Although the salary is not much, it is enough for Gong Xue to support himself.

At the time of filming, she lived near the crew. The condition is simple, but she enjoys it, because she thinks filming is very happy.

She has always held a belief that as long as there is a scene to shoot, she will keep shooting, no matter what kind of role it is.

A director quietly honed in the entertainment circle for six years, and finally found a lovely girl Gong Xue.

So in 1979, changchun film studio found Gong Xue and asked her to play Cheng Yingtong in the film Sacrifice for Red. This is the first time that Gong Xue plays the heroine, and Gong Xue cherishes this opportunity.

In the performance, Gong Xue played an extremely active role and shaped the life of Cheng Yingtong, the hostess.

Once the film was broadcast, the response was enthusiastic. Gong Xue in the film is gentle and strong, and the audience is deeply attracted by Gong Xue, a girl with a shallow pear vortex when she smiles.

Gong Xue also took this opportunity to finally overcome the difficulties and began to have better resources, and the film contract followed. She doesn't have to act as a "background board" for others in the film.

In the movie "A lot on my mind", Gong Xue plays the heroine "Liu Fangfang", a technician.

This role is a great challenge for Gong Xue. In the play, Liu Fangfang's mood is changeable, so it is difficult to control the expression of "joy" from the initial "pain and sadness".

After full preparation, Gong Xue is very calm and full of energy in front of the camera. Every detail and action is done in place, and her seriousness is obvious to all.

Later, Gong Xue took on films such as Zhang Heng, Midnight, Happy Bachelor, July Fever and Chutian Fengyun. And constantly accumulate experience.

What really brought Gong Xue to the pinnacle of his career was the movie Under the Bridge released by 1983.

This is a film prepared by Shanghai Film Studio and directed by the famous director Bai Shen. Gong Xue's partner is Zhang Tie-Lin, a popular young student. This is a good resource for Gong Xue, so Gong Xue accepted it gladly.

Gong Xue took on the heroine "Qin Nan", but she didn't want to play this role after reading the script, because the social concept at that time was conservative and the social acceptance of unmarried children was not high.

Gong Xue is only a minor celebrity, and he is worried that it will have an impact on his own people.

Moreover, Gong Xue refused to be a self-employed, and even tried to persuade Bai Shen to cancel the plot of "Qin Nan has an illegitimate child", but he never dared to say it.

So in the filming process, Gong Xue took the initiative to secretly change some performance details, trying to make this disgraceful plot "reasonable", but was discovered by the director, and her behavior was stopped, so Gong Xue became "small-tempered"

After director Bai Shen learned of Gong Xue's resistance, he found her and said:

"Every art has its own connotation. The purpose of shooting this drama is to challenge secular concepts and destiny and describe the story of the protagonist's pursuit of happy love and creation of a better life after suffering. "

"If you change the plot, it means that you bow to the secular, which runs counter to the theme of the film. What's the point of making this film? "

"What you have to do at this time is to accept the setting of this role, and then think carefully about how you should interpret this role perfectly, how to make the characters three-dimensional and plump. This is what a really good actor should do. "

"This is what a really good actor should do."

This sentence deeply touched Gong Xue's heart. Isn't that what she has been pursuing?

Persuaded by director Bai Shen, Gong Xue began to accept the role of "Qin Nan".

Gong Xue, who has never experienced a "self-employed" life, visited sewing stalls in Li Anyun and Wuyuan Road for many times, observed every move of young stall owners, recorded their life and speaking habits, and gradually got to know this field and people in this field.

Gong Xue sympathized with their discrimination and suffering, and Gong Xue really accepted the role of "Qin Nan".

Gong Xue, who recovered, quickly threw himself into filming. This time, she no longer let "little moves" perfectly interpret the role of "Qin Nan". After the filming of Gong Xue, director Bai Shen gave her a definite look, and Gong Xue was very happy.

The 1980s was also an era when ideas collided and new ideas sprouted. "Spring breeze blows and everything grows."

The film "Under the Bridge" was moved by the brave spirit of being positive and optimistic and challenging the secular, so when the film was released, the audience was full of praise.

Gong Xue became famous for it. With the unanimous approval of the audience and experts, she won the "Best Actress" in the China film "Hundred Flowers Award" and "Golden Rooster Award".

Later, he played Ding Yujie, a young teacher, in the movie Happy Bachelor.

This film tells the story that Shi Qilong, a factory monitor who went to night school, and his good friend Liu Tie fell in love with Ding Yujie, a young teacher played by Gong Xue.

However, after learning that Liu Tie and Ding Yujie liked each other, Shi Qilong quit automatically to help them make up stories.

After the film was broadcast, it became the regret of countless audiences that she still chose to finish the "Shi Qilong" with a deep love for the female host, and Gong Xue's appearance as an intellectual was even more outstanding, which made people shine at the moment and doubled their popularity.

Being on the cover of the magazine "Popular Film" at that time was a symbol of the popularity of a movie star, so Gong Xue won many awards, and was regarded as the "benchmark" in the film industry and the "goddess" in the hearts of millions of viewers.

However, at the peak, Gong Xue faded out of the entertainment circle for personal reasons, and went across the ocean alone to study in the United States, where Gong Xue met the talented Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun, a professor of chemistry in Peking University, met Gong Xue while working for Kodak Company in the United States. Zhang Xun fell in love with her at first sight.

At that time, it was the low point of Gong Xue's life. Zhang Xun gave Gong Xue gentle companionship and accompanied her through the initial difficult time.

Gong Xue was moved by this move, and they naturally came together. After some time, they chose to get married and have children.

Zhang Xun provided a very pleasant environment for Gong Xue, so they settled in the United States, while Gong Xue lived at home to take care of her husband and children.

Although we are very sorry for Gong Xue's withdrawal, the memory she brought us is indelible. We will always remember the girl on the screen who smiled and the pear vortex was looming.

In May this year, Gong Xue returned to China to attend a famous reading meeting of "Tribute to National Treasures" organized by the Actor Troupe of Shanghai Film Studio. At the scene, Gong Xue wore a white suit jacket, a long black dress and a silk scarf, which was very dignified and generous.

I can see that she is very happy now. Although I am old, my mental state is still very good, and I am getting old gracefully.

In this life, she really fulfilled her original promise, became a truly outstanding actress and made her own contribution to the entertainment circle.

The so-called elegance is to follow your heart and live your own happiness. Gong Xue tells us from her personal experience that you can listen to everyone's opinions, but the decision is up to you.

Although she has faded out of the film and television circle, in our hearts, she will always remain in the imprint of the times, which is the memory of that era.

Tagore wrote in Birds:

"I think of many other times that floated on the stream of life, love and death and were forgotten. I feel the freedom to leave this world."

Gong Xue has always lived a firm and free life, and I wish her happiness as always.

May you and I, in an impetuous society, keep our true heart and embrace the best of ourselves.
