In her filming career of more than 30 years, she has left us countless classic roles, which no one can surpass so far. It can be said that as an actor, Brigitte Lin has a successful career, a happy marriage and a happy family since childhood.
But what people don't know is that Brigitte Lin has a sister, lin li, who is also Chinese mainland's father and mother. They met after nearly 36 years of separation. At that time, one was a big star with infinite scenery and the other was an ordinary person with a hard life. Their fate makes people cry.
Although Brigitte Lin was born in Taiwan Province Province, her ancestral home was in Qingdao, Shandong Province, and her sister lin li was born in Qingdao. It was the spring of 1948. At that time, Brigitte Lin's father was a military doctor in the army of the National Government, and his first child was born with his nurse wife Ma Sheng.
The two parents who are parents for the first time are very happy. They named their child lin li, hoping that the child would be smart and beautiful. But only three months later, Lin Weiliang and his wife had to flee to Taiwan Province Province with a great army because of the national government's total rout on the mainland.
Because their daughter was too young to bear the unknown journey, the two decided to leave the child reluctantly and give it to their younger brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, for temporary care, and boarded a ship to Taiwan Province Province.
At first, Lin Weiliang and his wife planned to take their daughter with them after they settled down in Taiwan Province province. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the passage between the mainland and Taiwan Province Province was completely closed, making it difficult to communicate with each other.
This trip has been missing for nearly 40 years. Later, they gave birth to three children, Lin Chengsen and Lin, in Taiwan Province province, without telling them about their sister's existence. This made Brigitte Lin think that he only had two brothers and sisters, and he knew nothing about the plight of his sister across the strait.
Although lin li didn't grow up with her biological parents, she was very lucky. Her uncles and aunts are very kind to her, treating her as their own daughter and not telling lin li about her life experience. Her grandparents love her very much. Even in the later period of natural disasters, the family did not give up lin li, and the uncles moved to Jidong Coal Mine in Heilongjiang Province to survive, thus completely cutting off contact with Taiwan Province.
In the most difficult time, lin li went to the fields to pick up wild vegetables and beg for food. What about Brigitte Lin in the same period? At that time, with the support of foreign capital, Taiwan Province Province was in the stage of rapid development, with many high-rise buildings, strong commercial atmosphere and rapid development of entertainment industry.
Brigitte Lin, who is less than ten years old, had an actor's dream since he was a child. When my sister was still worrying about her livelihood, she was able to pursue a life beyond material things.
This is not Brigitte Lin's fault, but in the background of the times at that time, it is really worth lamenting. My sister lin li, who should be extravagant, can only live very tired, let alone dream, because of fate.
Lin li, a 23-year-old substitute teacher, was old enough to talk about marriage. After being introduced and getting to know the money working in the theater, they soon fell in love. Unfortunately, when Qian was writing a drama, he was beaten into the bourgeoisie and sent to Xuchang, Henan Province for rural reconstruction.
Being in the northeast is very anxious, but she resolutely refuses to break up with money. Despite the opposition of his family, he came to Xuchang, Henan Province by train from Heilongjiang alone and got a marriage certificate with Qian.
Two people held a humble wedding in a humble thatched cottage. At this point, lin li changed from a child without biological parents to a woman with her own small family.
After the Shen Qian Uprising, he went to a factory as a worker, and lin li returned to the city as a kindergarten teacher. After marriage, the two have raised three children. Although poor, a family of five is the greatest happiness.
Compared with her sister's happy love life, Brigitte Lin's emotional path is not smooth. When she debuted, she fell in love with a married man, and her 20-year relationship ended badly.
During this period, the marriage formed by impulse was unreliable and ended in failure in just four years. Fortunately, at the age of 38, Brigitte Lin finally met the only thrill, that is, her current husband Michael Ying Lee-yuen. As a huge fan of Brigitte Lin, Michael Ying Lee-yuen gave her a wedding of the century. Even the wedding invitations were written by Mr. Jin Yong, which can be said to be very attentive.
Although the family disapproved of Brigitte Lin marrying a businessman, it turned out that Brigitte Lin's choice was correct. The marriage of the two sisters failed to get the blessing of their families, but the days were their own, and both of them had a good time. I think this is the greatest happiness.
Although Lin Weiliang and his wife later had three children, their eldest daughter, lin li, was always worried about them. When the three children grew up, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Weiliang told them about the existence of the eldest sister and hoped that the children could help them find it together.
Brigitte Lin took the opportunity of filming in Shandong to ask around, trying to find her sister's position. Although Brigitte Lin has settled in the United States, she has been thinking about her sister, hoping to find her.
Finally, with their unremitting efforts, they contacted the forest in Heilongjiang and got the news. At this time, lin li was 37 years old, and she realized that she was not the biological daughter of her aunt and uncle, and her biological parents were far away in Taiwan Province Province.
Three years later, Taiwan Province Province opened its family to visit relatives before we really met. At Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, lin li recognized her biological parents at a glance. The family cried bitterly at the airport and told each other about the suffering of lovesickness.
Brigitte Lin gave lin li a camera, which lin li and his wife liked very much. They have been using it for nearly ten years. After the family reunion, Brigitte Lin and lin li kept in touch, and the feeling that blood is thicker than water has not been diluted by time and distance.
In the 1990s, Mr. and Mrs. lin li caught up with the wave of laid-off, and they could only get 450 yuan's pension every month, so their lives were hard up. Although her sister Brigitte Lin is a big star, lin li never borrows money from Brigitte Lin for gifts.
But Brigitte Lin often takes the initiative to ask her sister what she needs, and telephone calls are essential on holidays. Later, Brigitte Lin's family moved to America. They wanted to take lin li's family with them, but they couldn't because of the visa problem.
Lin li thinks life abroad is not very good, but she feels happier at home. What makes her proud is that her three sons are all successful, all college students, and they are really poor children.
If lin li hadn't been left behind, maybe her life track would have been completely different, but instead of complaining about the rich life of the Lins in Taiwan Province Province, she enjoyed herself.
There is no doubt that she and her sister Brigitte Lin have completely different lives, but it is a kind of happiness to have an ordinary and warm life and the temperature of the world. In the face of fate, this is beyond our control. All we can do is to treat it with a normal heart and accept it frankly!
