2024-02-06

Time is like a high-speed rail, time is like clouds and smoke

In the blink of an eye, the editor has been with you for over a month now

After several days of pleasant communication with the audience

I believe everyone is familiar with the existence of the editor, right?

however

What's unknown is!

Apart from daily writing, the editor does not embellish it

Behind the scenes, it's actually a

Entertainment experts!!!

Strolling around the ends of the earth with cat pouches

I have browsed all over WeChat and Weibo

Headline titles flow back and forth

.......

Anyway, it's just a lot of gossip

? ? ?

When the editor was writing jokes recently

Unexpectedly discovered a big news hidden deep inside

By the way, it's the following one:

On August 3, 2015, the Chinese website of the Daily Mail published an article titled "91 year old Li Lihua won the Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award", stating: "Her first husband was Zhang Xupu, the second generation of the wine king. Later, she separated in Hong Kong due to Zhang's return to mainland China."
At this moment, in my heart
Like a bright light shining over
Years of gossip experience have taught me:
"Wine King" surnamed Zhang
Are you referring to us Changyu?
So the rigorous editor continued to delve deeper into it
I discovered this:

Hong Kong writer Shen Xicheng wrote in his autobiography "The Legend of Li Lihua": "Li Lihua's ex husband Zhang Xupu was the son of Shandong wine tycoon Chang Yu (note: Chang Yu is the company name, the founder of the company is called Zhang Bishi). After marriage, she had a daughter named Xiaobao."
Come on, let's dig deeper:

There is a long article on Douding.com titled "82 Old Movie Stars in Memory - Evergreen Li Lihua in the Film Industry", which provides a detailed introduction to Li Lihua's life. The article is more specific:
"In 1944, at the end of the 'Hua Ying' period (note: Hua Ying, also known as the China Film United Co., Ltd.), 20-year-old Li Lihua married Zhang Xupu, a wealthy second-generation artist from Changyu Brewery Company in Yantai, Shandong. As a result, she temporarily gave up her career in making movies."
No way!
Originally, Chang Yu really have an indescribable relationship with the Golden Horse movie queen!

So here's the question:

Who is Li Lihua, the Golden Horse actress?

What is her connection with Chang Yu?

With two major questions

The editor has decided to uncover the life of Li Lihua

And then I found out that she was really amazing!

This figure is really amazing


Li Lihua, nicknamed "Xiaomi"

At the age of 16, he became very popular in Shanghai,

Debuted in Hong Kong at the age of 24

Entered Hollywood at the age of 34!

She spent her entire life traveling across Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan

Filming over 120 films

Known as the "Thousand Faced Shadow Queen"

Received the Taiwan Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015!

Received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards again in 2016!!

Too beautiful! I almost thought I saw Audrey Hepburn

She is the first Chinese celebrity to enter Hollywood

Even earlier than Bruce Lee!

But because he refused to kiss, he returned to Hong Kong to develop his career

Having a personality!

And she has a deep singing ability

The song "Spring of West Lake" has become popular on the beach of Shanghai

As the top sister in the film industry and the queen of the music industry

Today, it's like Fan Bingbing+Wang Fei Combining!

Top Ten Female Stars of the Republic of China: Wang Danfeng, Bai Guang, Li Lihua, Zhou Xuan, Hu Die, Chen Yunshang, Chen Juanjuan, Sun Jinglu, Luo Lan, Gong Qiuxia
After identifying Li Lihua
The Grand Sister of the Entertainment Industry in the Republic of China
Next is the highlight:
Let's dig behind the big stars
Rich emotional life
What exactly is Li Lihua like
How about marrying the son of the "Wine King"?

Zhang Xupu's younger brother Zhang Xu'e recorded in his book "Chaotic Times - Memories of Life and Entertainment in Shanghai in the 1940s": "In 1943, my family opened two storefronts of Taifeng Department Store at 607 and 609 Anle Fang, south of Xiafei Road Chengdu Road (now Huaihai Middle Road Chengdu South Road) in the French Concession. At the opening, Mr. Lin Kanghou was invited to unveil the ceremony, and film stars Li Lihua and Hu Feng cut the ribbon, which also led to the marriage between the seven brothers Xu Pu and Miss Li Lihua.".
Simply put, it can be summarized as:

The Zhang family's new store has opened
Inviting Li Lihua, a celebrity, to cut ribbons to celebrate
Love at first sight for Lang Cai's beautiful appearance!
Happy knot!!
That's all for gossip
I'm sure everyone is just as curious as the editor:
Is this young master Zhang Xupu handsome?
Don't stop, let's continue digging:

.

.

Awkwardly
The editor found that this matter cannot be further investigated!
Search the Zhang family genealogy thoroughly
Descendants of Zhang Bishi
There is no one named Zhang Xupu!

Li Lihua and her daughter

 

After investigation, it was confirmed that
Zhang Xupu is actually the founder of Yantai Taisheng Dongxing
The Seventh Son of Dye King Zhang Yanshan
Due to erroneous reporting by Shanghai media 80 years ago
Causing still some people to mistakenly believe that
Li Lihua is related to Chang Yu
It turned out to be a misunderstanding!
So why does entertainment news have a reputation for being a big name?
After much thought, the editor
Just think of one reason:
It must be because the fame of Changyu back then was too great!

Back then, Chang Yu was very famous in Shanghai
In 1932, Changyu Company celebrated its 40th birthday
Dominating the Shanghai Bund
Yu Qiaqing, President of Shanghai Chamber of Commerce
Inscription for Changyu Company: "The Only Good Wine"
And at that time, Shanghai Mayor Zhang Qun
Also inscribed for Changyu Company
"Industry saves the country, but there is no limit to wine. To recover profits, consider this fine wine."

A hundred years ago, the "Changyu Distribution Office" was located on Nanjing East Road
According to Zhang Xuge's "Chaotic Times - Memories of Shanghai Life and Entertainment in the 1940s", there is a storefront opposite the Jing'an Temple Road Racecourse, between the New World and Wufang Studio, owned by Yantai Changyu Brewery Company, specializing in the sale of Changyu Gold Award Brandy, Port Red Wine, and White Wine. The company's brandy, which won a gold medal at the Panama World Expo, is of good quality. Usually, when dining at home or having a small drink with close friends, one would drink Changyu Company's liquor... "

 

In the 1930s
Whiskey and brandy are popular in Shanghai
And under the motivation of Changyu's advertisement
Shanghai people constantly pursue new ways of life and leisure
They started drinking Changyu wine one after another
And consider it a very modern thing
Chang Yu led the fashion trend of that era!
When others are paying attention to the wine at the Chang Yu family
When it tastes good or not
But the editor is gossiping about the woman from the Chang Yu family
Beautiful or not beautiful
I am indeed the entertainment representative of Changyu!
