There's an old Chinese saying: No filial piety, no later than three!
Although this saying is mainly for guys, it means nothing without girls.
In the glittering world of entertainment, actresses are all high-caliber and talented, so there is no shortage of suitors.
But there are some older actresses who are still single, and the reason behind them is that they have their own problems.
In this issue, let's unravel the mystery of the four Hong Kong "super old" actresses who are not married.
A "ghost queen" Roland: 87 years old
Speaking of Roland, I believe that we will not be unfamiliar with, she is a number of Hong Kong horror films in the famous "dragon lady", the blind girl, She's a great actress who plays the role of the blind girl and the ghost.
But the most classic of all is the creepy Qiu Qianshi in the Louis Koo version of The Divine Eagle.
Roland was born in 1934 in Panyu, Guangdong Province, and was originally known as Lu Yanying.
She is of Indian descent and has been a favorite since childhood.
Since the age of 16, Roland has been working hard and has been active on the stage, spending most of her life dedicating herself to more than 100 classic movie and television productions for the audience.
In the early years, Roland was a young and beautiful young woman, and was once the "noblewoman professional" in old Hong Kong dramas, and had the reputation of being a "socialite".
It can be said that: a smile, a hundred charming, a hundred kinds of charm.
After many years in the entertainment industry, Roland began to destroy her own image as she got older and older, starring in classic works such as "Yin Yang Road" series and "Exploding Cops", and portraying all kinds of ugly roles that other actors are not willing to try.
Because of her many classic horror roles, Roland has been nicknamed the "Ghost Queen" and has become a childhood ghost for countless moviegoers.
It is this dedication that has made Roland such an outstanding actor.
Behind the success, she also lost the most precious thing for a woman, which is her relationship and marriage.
Now, Roland old-timer is 87 years old, but she is still unmarried, which has become a big regret in her life.
Asked why she didn't get married, she said helplessly, "When I was young, I was too busy working, and I kept acting in ugly roles, so no one wanted to fall in love with me."
These words came from the mouth of Roland, the "Queen of Ghosts", and it was a sad commentary.
The second, "alternative flower girl" Yu Mulian: 81 years old
Hong Kong's film and television industry has been rumored to have this : men have eight gold, women have Yu Mulian.
The name "Yu Mulian" is not well known, but she is definitely the "heavyweight female clown" in Hong Kong's movie and TV dramas.
In 1940, she was born in Guangzhou as Yu Zhiya.
Her mother, Deng Meimei, was a second-tier actress in Cantonese films, and her younger sister, Yu Zhili (stage name Gai Jiankui), was a disciple of the late renowned Cantonese opera singer, Ren Jianhui.
At the age of five, when her parents divorced, Yu Mo-lien followed her mother to settle in Hong Kong, where she lived a life of uprooted poverty.
In the 1960s, when Hong Kong cinema was already booming, she was right on time, working as an odd-job performer on productions from a young age, laying the groundwork for her future career in show business.
At the age of 15, she made her acting debut in the movie An Old Man in a Flower Bush, in which she played the daughter of Leung Sung-po and Ma Siu-ying.
At the time, her mother was pursuing a life in the upper class, but her life was so thin that she often took out her grievances on her, and scolding her was a common occurrence.
After 18, she began working as a supporting actress in Hong Kong television stations such as TVB, Lai Chi, and Chartis, and was nicknamed "Wutai Lian" by everyone.
In the highly competitive world of show business, the title "Five Tailor's Lotus" came from her lack of good looks and her troubled acting career.
It sounds funny, but when you look at it, it's not funny at all.
After the 90s, Stephen Chow gradually rose to prominence, and Yu Mo-lien became the "flower girl" in many of his works, although her role was pitifully small, but her talent for comedy was so great that she was unforgettable.
All the way down the road, because of the family and life situation, low self-esteem and self-confidence of the Yu Mulian, she never thought that one day will form their own happy family.
Over time, it has gradually become an "older woman".
In the face of a lonely old age, Yu Mu Lian is very open.
Although she has a small retirement salary, she has always been committed to charity and public welfare, which is full of happiness.
In the face of the media, Yu Mu Lian said: After death, will donate heritage and organs, for those who need to provide help, to regain a new life.
Now, Yu Mulian is 81 years old, although her life is very sad, but give full play to the greatest value, will soon come to an end, the splendor of eternal existence.
Whether it's for the fans or for the community, she's done it "without shame".
Three, the "star tutor" Luo Guanlan: 74 years old
and Yu Mulian's miserable childhood is different, Luo Guanlan was born in 1947 in Hong Kong, China, the family is very good, parents love, family harmony.
As a child, she has been receiving the best education, and she is also beautiful, and those who are attentive will find that she looks really similar to Elaine Cheung.
Over the decades, Luo Guanlan has acted in nearly 50 movies and TV shows, but mostly in supporting roles and dragon-set roles.
It's not that she didn't have the chance to play the lead role, but she unilaterally wanted to try her hand at portraying the bottom of the barrel.
In movies, Lo has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Golden Bauhinia Awards, and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actress for her superb acting skills, which definitely rank her in the top tier.
Luo Guanlan is the king of stage plays, having acted in more than 100 stage plays, and almost all of them have been in leading roles.
Admirably, Luo Guanlan also has another identity, that is, TVB students "mentor", has trained for the Hong Kong film industry to train a lot of powerful actors, Lai Nuoyi, Ma Junwei, etc. are his favorite students.
It is reported that when Xiang Huaqiang opened China Star Movie Company, he visited Luo Guanlan several times and invited her to be the principal of the training class.
From this, we can see that it is her output of talent to the Hong Kong film and television industry that has really maximized the value of Lo Guanlan.
It is precisely because of her kind of teacher who spares no effort to train newcomers in order to promote the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry that the splendor of "Hollywood of the East" has been created.
When he was young, Luo Guanlan also had a few relationships, but most of them were due to the woman's status as a "strong woman", and soon after the relationship was declared a failure.
With a higher status in the food industry, Luo Guanlan has become busier and busier with her work, and her relationship and marriage have fallen by the wayside.
Now 74 years old, Ms. Luo Guanlan, although alone, but very good heart, for many students, she is a deserved "teacher and mother".
Her life has been made wonderful by her acting career!
Four, "Queen Mother" Ching Ho Wai : 71 years old
Born in 1950, Ching Ho Wai is the first graduate of the Hong Kong Artistes Training Course. "senior figure".
At the tender age of 20, she was already a leading actress in TVB, represented by the earliest Qiong Yao drama "Smoke and Rain", and Jin Yong's martial arts dramas "The Divine Eagles" and "The Legend of the Eagle Shooting Heroes".
At the age of 25, Cheng Ke starred in several Liaozhai series, including Folklore of the Painted Skin, Folklore of the Killing of a Dog, Folklore of the Dream of the Red Chamber, and Folklore of the Zhao Wu Niang, which became a hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In the minds of viewers from the 80s and 90s onwards, Ching is best known as the Empress Dowager in Chen Xiaochun's version of The Book of the Luding.
With years of acting experience, she has effectively recreated the role of the kind and majestic character in the original novel, which has not been surpassed to this day.
By definition, with Cheng Ke's youthful beauty, there would have been a long line of people chasing after her, and finding the right man to marry her would not have been a problem.
But why is she still unmarried?
In her younger days, Ching was often the number one girl in TVB, the unrivaled star of the show, and her acting career was all over the place.
At that time, she was a star, and it was normal for her to be surrounded by bees.
But as we all know, TVB is notoriously busy, and even more so, it's known as a "press machine".
Even the "wireless five tigers", in addition to Tony Leung, the other four tigers have left.
Sometimes, in order to catch up with the drama, actors can't even close their eyes for a few days and nights, not to mention the leading actresses.
And Cheng Ke is also the leading flower girl, naturally can not take time out to fall in love, not to mention rumors, otherwise it will ruin the fan base, thus reducing the heat.
In this way, in the wasted years, Cheng Kewei gradually become old, but also slowly from the first line to the second line, become a real "golden supporting role".
There was a time when Cheng Kewei moved to Canada to do real estate business, and was equally busy.
Now, when asked by the media about marriage, she replied :
Because I feel free, I don't have to tell anyone where I'm going and when I'm coming back. If you do have a lover and you have to care about him ...... it's better not to get married and look for trouble.
Conclusion:
Loneliness is not from the beginning, because it is the secret of the heart, has been hidden, has been hidden, hidden for a long time, hidden deep, but also became lonely.
Therefore, loneliness is a habit, and after you decide to accept it, or enjoy it, you are really lonely.
Fortunately, to sum up these old actors, they left so many stories of the movie world, and released the most brilliant luster in life.
In a way, they did not voluntarily accept loneliness, but truly enjoyed freedom.
I wish them all the best in their old age!
