The past, in her eyes is already light. Only when she said, "tasted the high point, and then down to taste the most bitter, slowly and then climb up from 50, which is sweet and sour, did not try, you have no way to know that flavor," the smile of the eyes only vaguely tear shadow flashes.
Hui Yinghong had a movie dream since childhood. Because of her family's poverty, she began to go to nightclubs to perform Chinese dance at the age of 13. "At that time, many movie studio scouts were picking actors in nightclubs, and I danced just to be discovered by the scouts."
At the age of 17, Hui was discovered by director Chang Cheh, who signed her to Shaw Brothers Pictures, where she played female number two Mu Nianci in the 1977 version of The Legend of the Shooting Eagles and Heroes, which kicked off her movie and TV career.
In 1982, at the age of 22, Hui Yinghong received her first Best Actress award for the martial arts movie The Elderly, and became the only actress in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards to win the award for her role as a "female fighter". Since then, Hui Yinghong reigned supreme in the movie industry, and became a generation of "king of flowers" that resounded in Hong Kong.
The world is in a state of flux. With the gradual decline of martial arts films in the 1990s, has been stereotyped by the company and the audience as a "fighting woman" Hui Yinghong several transformations of no hope, and gradually reduced to no film can be shot "marginal people". From the scenery to no one asked, the huge psychological gap, coupled with many years of shooting fight scene fell all the injuries, so that Hui Yinghong suffered from serious depression. She closed the door, and even swallowed sleeping pills, but fortunately was rescued.
"Heaven won't let me go, I'll live well!" The reborn Hui Yinghong finally let go of her self-esteem and made a low-key comeback in 2005, when she began to star in TV dramas in a variety of small roles.
In 2009, Hui Yinghong played the role of a grieving mother with a strong desire to control her son in the movie "The Devil in the Heart".
A year later, she won Best Actress at the Hong Kong Academy Awards for the role. "When I heard my name at that time, I froze and dared not react. After I was sure it was me, the whole person completely collapsed and cried all the way to the stage, which was really humiliating!" Holding the trophy in her hand, she had mixed feelings, "This is an award that is a matter of life and death for me, I Hui Yinghong have a chance!"
This year, she was 50 years old, from the last award has been exactly 28 years.

"I know from the age of 3 that life needs to be struggled." For Hui Yinghong, "struggle" is as innate as genes, "Every day should not be wasted, even if it is used to rest is an attitude. If you don't do anything, your life will have no color and no value. Don't think about 'what people live for', people live to go 'what'".
When the "hit girl" in those years, she was only a decade and a half, but beyond the age of dedication to win the respect of all. Once, she jumped from a height and broke her calf bone on the spot. At that time, there were still two or three shots left in the movie to be completed, if not to shoot will have to wait for two or three months, she insisted on returning from the hospital to continue shooting. Two staff members held her up to make up for the shots of the upper-body fight, and her two calves were swaying underneath. She endured severe pain to finish the last shot, everyone present with tears in their eyes, applauding her.
"To do any work, you must first respect yourself in order to win the respect of others." Hui Yinghong said, "If you don't have this accumulation before, no one will be attentive to help you in your comeback later."
In 2005, Hui Yinghong comeback to join the Hong Kong Wireless Television, the photo hung in the company for more than half a year no one to find her shooting. One day, the well-known producer Lee Tim Seng passed by and saw her photo, and immediately asked her to shoot a movie, "because we have worked together in Golden Harvest, he understands me". This one movie started her comeback.
Hui Yinghong has never forgotten the enlightenment of her mentor, director Li Hanxiang. Li Hanxiang let her understand that the story presented in an hour and a half of the movie is only a small part of the character's life, the performance to be outstanding, you must find the character's "past life" and "the rest of the life". "That's how I figure out my characters to this day." Hui Yinghong said.
Hui Yinghong, who has never been a mother, has won many awards for her role as a mother. For her, the most memorable mother role is Auntie Fen in Lucky to be Me, who won the Hong Kong Academy Award for Best Actress for the third time for her delicate performance of the lonely daily life of a demented old man.

On April 14, 2019, at the site of the 38th Hong Kong Film Awards, Hui Yinghong won the Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Trish". Recalling the situation, she smiled and said, "In fact, my feelings are very contradictory, I hope the young people to win the award, but also do not want to lose face if I lose."
Over the years, Hui Yinghong has been physically supporting newcomers. "Many new directors have little money for their productions, and all of them will lose to a great extent if they use newcomers. If we can participate, it's at least a guarantee for them."
Hui Yinghong does not agree with the view that Hong Kong films are now in decline: "Let's say, for example, in the past, when Hong Kong films produced 400 works a year, there were only 40 subjects; now when they produce more than 40 works a year, there are more than 40 subjects. In the past, the output was large, and now there are many fine products, especially the co-productions with the Mainland, which have produced many fine products."
In 2009, Hui Yinghong first traveled to the mainland to participate in film and television production. "This decade has progressed so fast!" She exclaimed the changes in the mainland's film industry, "from the creation of the subject matter, the production standard, the choreography and the performance, all of them make me so-" she made a dumbfounded expression. "The standard is very high! I feel so proud that sometimes I'm afraid I'm not running fast enough to catch up!"
On April 16 this year, the State Film Administration announced five measures to support the further development of the Hong Kong and Macau film industries on the mainland. In this regard, Hui Yinghong said she was very happy that "the younger generation of Hong Kong filmmakers have more opportunities to enter the Mainland, which will bring more room for the development of Hong Kong's film industry."
