In life, there is always an endless pursuit of beauty. From birth, we want to have an angel-like appearance. When we reach adulthood, we are attracted by all kinds of beautiful things, and we will pay whatever it takes to get that flash of light, even if we go through fire and water.
But beauty is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, it will bring disasters to people, just like tall trees, which always attract storms. She is a typical example. She used to be the "first beauty" who was all the rage. Her smiles can make countless people fall for it. She was also the victim of a sensation, because she left her motherland and went away from home in despair and anger. She is Gong Xue.
Gong Xue, a born artist, is a legendary beauty. Her birth is a kind of fate, her father is an outstanding painter, her mother is an excellent photographer, and her family is a temple of art, without any prejudice or bondage, only caring for and cultivating her. In such an environment, Gong Xue showed amazing artistic talent, and had a strong interest in music since childhood. He often served as a music committee member in the class, and also participated in the performance of the Children’s Palace on behalf of the school, winning the championship in one fell swoop.
Gong Xue’s story is a history of struggle from the countryside to the stage. With her sweat and talent, she proved that her dream will not be erased by time, as long as she has the heart, it is possible. Gong Xue had just left the campus in 1970 and was assigned to a mountain village in Jiangxi to participate in agricultural production, which is undoubtedly a great challenge for a city girl who grew up in Shanghai.
Gong Xue spent three years in a mountain village. The three years’ experience changed her personality greatly. She became stronger, more optimistic, more confident and more aware of the value and significance of life. In 1972, Gong Xue finally ended her career in the countryside and returned to Shanghai. Her family and friends were very happy to meet her and she hugged them happily. However, Gong Xue is not content with the status quo. She still has one unfulfilled wish, that is, to become an actress.
She likes acting since she was a child. She thinks that being an actress is a very attractive profession. She can express her feelings and ideas through artistic forms, and also bring joy and emotion to the audience. She found an opportunity, that is, to join the Art Troupe, which is an organization that provides culture and entertainment for the troops. Its members are all young people with artistic talent. They often go to the front to perform for the soldiers and bring them laughter and warmth.
Gong Xue’s efforts were not in vain. A year later, with her outstanding performance in the art troupe, she was favored by the Shanghai Theatre, and she was admitted as a drama actress. She started her own drama career. She participated in many classic drama works. She won the audience’s love and respect with her acting skills, and she also became an influential drama star.
She played Qin Nan in Under the Bridge in 1984, a gentle, kind, pure and beautiful woman. Her performance won unanimous praise from the audience and experts, and also won her the "Best Actress" in two major awards of China films-"Hundred Flowers Award" and "Golden Rooster Award", which is a rare honor. Her name and image have also been widely spread. She is known as the "four golden flowers" with Liu Xiaoqing, Pan Hong and yu zhang. She is known as the first beauty in the mainland in the 1980s, and she is also known as the "Audrey Hepburn" in China because she has the same temperament and charm.
Her career has also made great strides. She has appeared in many film and television works, such as Colorful Morning Light, Begonia, I don’t know its name, etc. Her roles are diverse, her acting skills are exquisite and her style is unique, and her light cannot be concealed, which has become a landscape of that era. She has been loved and respected by many people, and she has also been envied and envied by many people. Her beauty and achievements have made her a bright spot and a target. Without her knowledge, some people have started plotting against her, while others have started attacking her.
In 1986, her life suddenly suffered a disaster, which made her fall from heaven to hell. That year, an earth-shattering case happened in Shanghai. In two years, a gang of hooligans raped and molested more than 50 young women. These evil acts made the people angry. One of the criminals even recorded his crime in the form of a novel, in which a female star named Gong was mentioned. This booklet was circulated on the black market and caused an uproar.
Unfortunately, Gong Xue just met the characteristics of this female star. Her name and identity were quickly linked to this hooligan case. She became the target of public criticism and was mistaken for the "dirty female star". Her reputation and image were destroyed overnight.
Gong Xue had no idea about the cause and effect of this incident. She only felt that she had been set up innocently. She couldn’t understand why someone would do this to her, and she couldn’t stand the malicious attacks and abuse from people who didn’t know the truth. Her mind was greatly traumatized and her life was plunged into darkness.
She felt that she had no hope. She even thought about death. Fortunately, her family discovered her abnormality in time. They decided to let Gong Xue go back to her hometown and give her the warmest companionship and care. They also tried to help Gong Xue regain her confidence and courage and let her stand up again and face the world.
Later, Gong Xue and Zhang Xun held a grand wedding in Austin, USA. Gong Xue’s wedding caused an uproar in China. Some people say that Gong Xue had to flee China because he was framed as a "hooligan" at home. Some people say that Gong Xue gave up his domestic career because he had a Hollywood dream and followed Zhang Xun to the United States. These statements are nothing more than jealousy, suspicion or curiosity, but Gong Xue doesn’t care. She only cares about her heart and her lover.
Until 2006, Gong Xue, who had lived in the United States for 20 years, decided to follow in Zhang Xun’s footsteps and return to the embrace of the motherland because of her work. In fact, she had the idea of returning to China for a long time, but she always cared about the growth of her daughter Zhang Ya and didn’t want her to be influenced too much.
Many people are looking forward to Gong Xue’s comeback. After all, she is the Gong Xue of absolute beauty, and her acting skills and face value are unparalleled. However, she let everyone down. She never appeared on the big screen again, but occasionally appeared in some TV dramas, which made people lament her immortal legend.
Today, she is nearly 70 years old, but her face is still young, her facial features and contours are still clear and exquisite, and her temperament and style are still unique. She is a happy old lady and a legendary woman.
