Her life was full of twists and turns. Premier Zhou Enlai called her the most beautiful woman in China! Schwarzenegger said that she is a Chinese movie star that he admires.

She is one of China's top ten female heroes and the winner of the Hollywood Performing Arts Center Lifetime Achievement Award.

She is Qin Yi!

Qin Yi was born in Shanghai on January 31, 1922. He has been in film for 80 years, has numerous works and won numerous awards.

Her representative works include: "Railway Guerrillas", "Malan Blossoms", "Women's Basketball Team No. 5", "Lin Zexu", "Song of Youth", "Maya", "Overseas Innocence", "Green Mountain Sunset", etc. .

She has won: The 22 Greatest Movie Stars in New China, Best Actress at the China Film Century Award, Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Film Artist with Outstanding Contributions to the Country, and the 7th China’s Top Ten Female Heroes and other honorary titles.

In September 2020, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Qin Yi, the famous writer Wang Meng, and the famous singer Guo Lanying were awarded the honorary title of "People's Artists".

Qin Yi has had numerous honors in her life, but she has had many twists and turns in relationships. Her two marriages have made her painful and unforgettable.

In 1939, after Qin Yi participated in "The Good Husband" directed by the famous director He Feiguang, she became acquainted with the tall, handsome and romantic Chen Tianguo. Chen Tianguo fell in love with the pure and beautiful Qin Yi at first sight, and began to make every effort to possess her.

One day, Chen Tianguo lied that everyone was going mountain climbing together. Qin Yi believed it and came to the mountain but only saw Chen Tianguo alone on the mountain.

He grabbed Qin Yi who was about to leave, knelt on the ground and wooed her: "I fell in love with you at first sight. After I met you, I missed you every night. I missed you so much that I couldn't bear to eat at night." Sleep, I realized how painful it is to love someone..."

This frightened Qin Yi, who had never been in love before, and she fell ill after returning to the dormitory.

During this period, Chen Tianguo began to publicize his love with Qin Yi everywhere and distributed wedding invitations everywhere. Others began to talk about it, saying that Qin Yi was dating Chen Tianguo, a famous celebrity.

Qin Yi, who was only 17 years old, did not understand what love was at all. Facing this situation, she was helpless and entered into marriage with Chen Tianguo in a daze.

After the marriage, Chen Tianguo began to reveal his true nature. On the second day of the wedding, he got drunk and beat Qin Yi with an umbrella. The reason was that Qin Yi opened the door too slowly.

He drinks frequently and seems to be a drunkard who can never sober up.

His violence against Qin Yi was outrageous. He would beat anything he caught at home, and sometimes he would chase and beat Qin Yi on the street.

Faced with her husband’s domestic violence, Qin Yi was heartbroken and prepared to break up. But at this moment she found out that she was pregnant, and she chose to endure it for the sake of her child.

Qin Yi was very weak after her daughter was born, and she had to give her daughter to a wet nurse to take care of her. Since she had no money to buy milk powder and nanny fees, the nanny sent the child back again.

Chen Tianguo thought it was troublesome to pick up the child and wanted to give it away. Qin Yi was completely angry. She dragged her sick body and picked up her daughter to live in the work dormitory.

Five years later, this unhappy marriage finally ended. Qin Yi felt that she had never been more relaxed, and she devoted herself to her career.

No pain, no gain, Qin Yi finally achieved gratifying results in the entertainment industry through her diligent efforts.

In 1941, Qin Yi, Bai Yang, Shu Xiuwen, and Zhang Ruifang were known as the "Four Famous Danes" in the rear area of ????the Anti-Japanese War.

On New Year's Eve in 1946, Qin Yi was introduced by a friend to Jin Yan, who was already the "Yellow Emperor of the Movies" at that time. He is 12 years older than Qin Yi, and the two quickly became good friends.

25-year-old Qin Yi rekindled her longing for love, and entered her second marriage with Jin Yan with longing.

Qin. Jin's wedding was attended by celebrities, and the "literary giant" Guo Moruo was their witness. The union of the two was called "Silver Wings" and became a legend.

Since both Qin Yi and Jin Yan had failed marriages, they cherished their relationship very much. After the marriage, the two fell in love sweetly. A year later, their son Jin Jie was born, and the family lived a happy life.

After the founding of New China, Qin Yi's career also flourished. With her superb acting skills, she created images of heroic and righteous revolutionary heroines and progressive new women, becoming a star actor in New China.

Jin Yan also served as the leader of the drama troupe, engaging in administrative work that he was not good at.

Seeing his wife busy while he was doing boring work, the topics of homosexuality between them became less and less.

Qin Yi often has performance tasks, and the couple spends more time apart than together. Jin Yan feels a little lost and lonely, and becomes depressed.

With the help of Qin Yi, her younger sister Qin Wen also embarked on the path of acting.

Qin Yi likes this sister who is 5 years younger than herself very much, and loves her like her own child. Qin Wen, who is in his prime in his 20s, often lives at her sister's house.

Things are unpredictable. When a friend told Qin Yan that Jin Yan had cheated on his sister, Qin Yi didn't believe it at all. After questioning her husband Jin Yan and confirming the truth, she was devastated!

One is the person you love the most, and the other is the person you are closest to! Qin Yi was betrayed by them at the same time.

She resolutely filed for divorce, but Jin Yan said firmly: "I only have you in my heart. I can move out, but I will never divorce you!"

In order not to affect For reputation, and more importantly for her son, Qin Yi swallowed painful tears and chose not to divorce. The two began to live apart.

The marriage between the two lasted for 37 years, but they only spent 7 years of loving each other.

Two stubborn people spent the last 30 years living apart in the same house and in different beds.

While filming in Tibet, in order to resist the wind and cold, Jin Yan often drank alcohol to warm up, which aggravated his stomach problems. In the end, he had to have part of his stomach removed. Unfortunately, he became paralyzed. This disease caused him to lie in bed for more than 20 years. .

Qin Yi is a kind-hearted woman. She has taken care of Jin Yan for 20 years and fulfilled her duties as a wife.

In 1983, when her husband Jin Yan was dying, she stayed with him for 31 hours. At this time, Jin Yan could no longer speak. He looked steadily at his wife's face. Perhaps, he was apologizing for the mistakes he made 30 years ago!

Two lines of hot tears flowed down the corners of Jin Yan's eyes, and kind-hearted Qin Yi gently wiped his tears. He caressed his wife's fingers reluctantly.

This is his gratitude and reluctance to his wife! A generation of movie stars left their loved ones with deep regret.

Maintaining marriage requires responsibility. Qin Yi, who has a clear distinction between love and hate, did not evade responsibility for a loveless marriage, and bravely shouldered the burden of responsibility with her weak shoulders.

She once took care of three patients at the same time: her old, frail and disabled eldest sister, her husband who was paralyzed in bed, and her mentally disturbed son.

Under the dual pressure of mental and physical pressure, it is unbelievable how Qin Yi survived. She is so strong and optimistic! Perhaps the biggest wish in her heart is the happiness of her relatives!

After the death of her parents, she devoted herself to taking care of her sisters. After her brother and sister-in-law passed away, she raised her two nephews. The eldest sister never married, and Qin Yi stayed with her throughout her life, taking care of her until she passed away at the age of 98.

Sister Qin Wen’s daughter Deng Xing was also raised by Qin Yi. For her loved ones, Qin Yi did her best to selflessly contribute.

While working, she took care of her two children. Because she often had to go out to perform, her son did not receive good care since he was a child, and his personality gradually became introverted and withdrawn.

When her son was about to take the high school entrance examination at the age of 16, Qin Yi discovered that his son was behaving abnormally. After going to the hospital for examination, he learned that his son suffered from acute mild schizophrenia. The doctor said that there was little hope of cure.

From then on, Qin Yi washed, bathed, cut hair, and shaved her son, and took care of his son's food and daily life, doing everything by herself until her son passed away due to illness at the age of 59.

How heart-wrenching it is for 85-year-old Qin Yi to give away her white hair to her black hair!

With 59 years of mother-child love and 59 years of unrepentant devotion, she has magnified the selfless maternal love and fraternity of women to the extreme.

My son Jin Jie is unfortunate. The disease has made him unable to live and work like a normal person. He is lucky because he has a mother who loves him, cares for him, and accompanies and protects him throughout his life!

Since her son loved painting since he was a child, Qin Yi hired a professional teacher to guide him. Going to nature to sketch and paint with his mother is the happiest time for his son Jin Jie.

In front of the green trees, in front of the flowers with fluttering butterflies and bees, in front of the park landscape with small bridges and flowing water, there is often a mother and son watching with interest for a while, and bowing their heads to paint forgetfully.

This is the happiest moment for Qin Yi and her son. They feel the beauty of nature with their hearts and describe the great rivers and mountains of the motherland with emotion.

International movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger once bought Jin Jie’s painting "Hengshan Park" for a high price of 25,000 US dollars.

He praised Qin Yi as a great mother, and it was a miracle to train her mentally retarded son to paint.

When she came back from a tiring day at work, her son would take out a drink from the refrigerator and say to her, "Mom, drink."

When she sometimes quarreled with her eldest sister, her son would gently He hit her on the shoulder and reminded her tactfully: "Mom is a Party member, Mom is a Party member!" She and her eldest sister were both amused by their son and no longer angry.

After the happy moments, Qin Yi always looked at her son lovingly. She was worried: One day, if your mother dies, what will you do?

After her son died of illness, she recalled every moment she spent with her son and shed tears every day.

Family love, which is thicker than water, can't be given up so easily!

As a result of overwork, Qin Yi suffered from fat cancer, thyroid cancer, and intestinal cancer. She underwent 7 surgeries and 7 knives, but she still survived.

Losing a husband in middle age and losing a son in old age. After watching her relatives pass away one by one, she turned her grief into strength and wrote the script "Qinghai Lakeside" at a rate of nearly 4,000 words a day

When the earthquake disaster occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan in 2008, the economic situation was not good. Qin Yi, who was well off, donated 200,000 yuan.

She believes that a gentleman should acquire money in a proper way. She has a kind heart and a strong sense of social responsibility. She always remembers to be responsible for the audience. What a broad mind and broad love!

She has endured too much suffering, and she has too many regrets in her heart: she did not have perfect love, and she did not enjoy the happiness of a family full of children and grandchildren. But her heart is full of love, and love makes her more perfect!

Qin Yi’s life is rich and changeable. She never flinches in the face of adversity, has the courage to face setbacks, and resolves all difficulties with love.

She is an independent woman of the new era who shows off her favors; she is a mother who endures hardships without any regrets.

Qin Yi’s beauty comes from her appearance, but also from her strong and flexible character and beliefs.

She possesses the traditional virtues of Chinese women. She never loses heart when faced with adversity. She greets and overcomes hardships with great resilience and takes her time calmly.

In the year of the millennium 2021, 99-year-old Qin Yi already has silver hair on her head. Her body is stooped and her spirit is slightly haggard. She is still hospitalized for recuperation.

Faced with the visit from her friends, she was still neatly dressed and did not look sick at all. This veteran artist, who has dedicated his life to the big screen, explains the meaning of fraternity with action.

In the new year, I wish Teacher Qin Yi good health and all the good things of the past remain in my heart!
