When it comes to sister Lin, many people will first think of Chen, the actor of Lin Daiyu in the old version of A Dream of Red Mansions. Unfortunately, the beauty is unlucky, and she has lost her fragrance at the age of 42.
In fact, Chen's sister Lin is not the only one who has been carved by years on the stage and has always left a deep impression on the audience. On the stage of Yue Opera, Wang's sister Lin also surprised a generation. chen more, a dance artist, has the reputation of "Living Lin Daiyu"!
The older generation believes in fate, so we always think that Chen's fate is inextricably linked with Lin Daiyu, but Chen and Lin Daiyu's childhood are strikingly similar.
Chen, 1939, was born in a garden house in Shanghai. Her father is a policeman and her family is very rich. She and her sister grew up carefree under the care of their parents.
However, although her family is happy, she was born slender, witty, sensitive and prone to crying. Therefore, adults often call her "Little Lin Daiyu", but it was a surprise.
/kloc-at the age of 0/0, my father died suddenly, and a few months later my mother died in his father's footsteps. The death of her parents was unexpected, but unfortunately, unlike Lin Daiyu who lost her mother at the age of 6 and her father at the age of 1 1, she had at least a room full of rich grandmothers to rely on.
Overnight, the happy family was fragmented and crumbling. Young Chen, with her 7-year-old sister, had to start an independent orphan life.
They live by renting their own houses, but their meager income is not enough for them. In order to survive, Chen can only collect garbage and sell money with street children.
Fortunately, with the calm of the war and the establishment of new China, happiness knocked on their door. They were first sent to the children's temporary reception center and then taken in by Shanghai Yixin reformatory.
Chen is no longer an orphan, and she doesn't have to collect garbage for a living. She can finally go to school like a child in an ordinary family.
She likes dancing since she was a child, and she is very talented. 13 years old, she was admitted to the dance troupe affiliated to the Central Academy of Drama with excellent results. Two years later, she was admitted to Beijing Dance School, the first dance school in China with excellent results.
She knocked on the door of art with her own efforts and began to perform at the age of 18. She starred in Zhang Yu and Qiong Lian, White-haired Girl, Dream of Red Mansions, Peony Pavilion and so on.
From 65438 to 0959, 20-year-old Chen graduated with excellent results and stayed in school to teach, and starred in China's first ballet "Mermaid", which was a combination of ballet and China dance. It became an instant hit and became one of the youngest dancers in China at that time.
She is the dancer who has appeared in the most dance dramas in China. On this stage, she formed an indissoluble bond with A Dream of Red Mansions and Lin Daiyu. She has been playing Sister Lin all her life.
198 1, 4 1 Chen starred in the classical dance drama A Dream of Red Mansions, playing Lin Daiyu, and was also the first sister Lin in the dance drama.
This dance drama has been staged for nearly 400 times. Her childhood situation similar to that of Lin Daiyu made her understand Lin's sentimentality and weak sister's mentality better. She acted with her heart and empathized with her, and was praised by the audience as "vividly playing Sister Lin".
In constant repetition, it seems boring to many people, but at the age of 58, she invested nearly one million yuan to re-arrange A Dream of Red Mansions with Yu Ying, the original director of the dance drama, and played Lin Daiyu again.
She has a special feeling for Lin Daiyu. She appeared in nearly 700 scenes in the whole novel A Dream of Red Mansions, and appeared in countless dance clips. Until the age of 80, she was still performing Lin Daiyu. No wonder she was called "living Lin Daiyu" by the audience.
My career is booming and my feelings are like a duck to water. Her husband is Yang, a teacher at Beijing Dance School. He is very handsome and hits it off with her. In the eyes of many people, they are a very beautiful couple.
Their marriage is full of sweetness and sweetness. In six years of marriage, their love has not been strangled. Her husband is very considerate and supports her dance career.
But happy flowers are always delicate and can't stand the wind, frost and cold, and the times suddenly come and the cause is hit hard.
They all reluctantly left their beloved career and experienced a severe test in their hearts. The days were long and painful, and their husbands finally failed to resist suicide.
Losing her parents at a young age was the first change in her life, and losing her husband in middle age made her gradually bright life full of gloom again. In the most difficult days, dancing is her only pastime and the only support in her heart.
She never gave up when there was no stage to accompany her farm work. Therefore, in an empty farm, there is a beautiful Li Duo scenery. She runs alone, kicks, leg press and somersaults. The grandfathers in the village are her best audience.
As long as you don't give up life, life won't abandon you. Later, by chance, she met Wei Daoning, a locksmith. One of them is serious and melancholy, and the other is lively and happy.
1974, she and Wei Daoning, four years younger than herself, entered the marriage hall. After marriage, Wei Daoning became a good partner in her career. After 46 years together, they are still as sweet and happy as their first love.
However, some obstacles will still trip you up. 1979, she suffered from anorexia. Besides, the doctor said that she was suffering from "overtraining" and suggested that she stop dancing and take good care of herself.
However, what's the point of life without dancing? She said: Lin Daiyu's fate is decided by the author; My life path is up to me.
"My life depends on me." Chen finally overcame the disease and returned to the peak with the princess. Since then, she has lived and danced.
20 19 At the age of 80, he danced with Liu Jiabiao and performed Thunderstorm. For her career as an artist, Wei Minglun gave her the 70th anniversary of her career as an artist, which is the most wonderful and accurate summary:
He is 80 years old and still plays Daiyu in the Red Chamber. Dance age seven, more than ulanova!
To our great surprise, she had been healthy and energetic, and died of stomach cancer on June165438+1October 2 1 day, 2020, at the age of 8 1!
She is a milestone in the history of contemporary dance in China. With her own strength, she overcame the impossible and explained the dance legend of her life. I also hope that all of you who have dreams in your hearts can go against the wind and create your own legends!
