Zhou Caiqin’s height

She is the "China Doll" in London's West End and Broadway, and is also known as the "1.5-meter-tall bomb." In the United States, people want to put her in the window because of her small figure. Zhou Caiqin's life is a legend from "Chinese Doll" to "Jia Mu".

The amazing Chinese doll

Do you still remember the Dream of Red Mansions? The Jia Mu who was angry like a tiger and smiled like a cat. The Jia Mu who was thought to be really dead in the coffin. When playing Jia Mu, Zhou vowed to memorize all the lyrics. Before playing Jia Mu's death, Zhou asked about the appearance and procedure of Jia Mu's death. The final performance can be described as lifelike.

Cai Qin comes from the Book of Songs, "Thinking of Pan Shui, Cai Qi Qi", which is a very beautiful name. When she was a minor, she went to London and became the first Chinese student. When others make frivolous remarks, Caiqin will always say: "Fuck off". This confirms her nickname "the 1.5-meter-tall bomb" outside the drama circle.

At the same time, Zhou also appeared in many works. By chance, in November 1959, she acted in "Suzie Wong's World". Her delicate face like a peony, coupled with her extraordinary acting skills, quickly made her a star. It became popular. has its own place in British drama.

At that time, a song she sang with a high-pitched voice could become popular throughout Europe, and the plays she starred in were often sold out. Friends say she is like a leopard, full of personality and straightforward qualities. This can be seen from several things.

After starring in "Casino Royale" in the 1960s, Zhou clearly pointed out in the interview that he did not like such a vase role and agreed to do this drama just to make money. It can be seen from this that his personality is really straightforward and calm.

At the banquet, people bowed to the boxing champion, but she was the only one who stood out and punched the boxing champion. This is how the nickname "The 1.5-meter-tall bomb" came about. The second thing is marriage. Zhou Caiqin got married at the age of 20 because her free and independent personality was very different from her husband's concept of her being a good wife and mother. So she decided to end the marriage. Later, she tried to marry a theater director, but that also ended in failure.

These two marriages made her clearer about what she wanted, as Zhou said: "I don't need to get married." In life, she insists on being the truest version of herself. If you encounter injustice, you will slap others in the face. If you encounter a problem, you will ask the director to stop filming until the problem is solved. It must be said that she is full of energy and confidence.

Get out of the trough with perseverance

Perhaps it is this leopard-like character that gives her extraordinary perseverance and resilience. When I was 40 years old, due to improper investment and failed financial management, all the assets I had accumulated for many years were gone overnight. Due to the current situation, I had to buy plastic boots and a three-dollar coat in an old clothing store. Finally found a job as a waiter.

When her life fell into the abyss, when she fell from the high altar, facing the cold eyes of some people, she did not choose a decadent life, but determined to learn new things and motivate herself. On the way to find a job, I tried to apply for a receptionist job and sorted out files at Harvard University. It was a very bumpy road.

At the beginning, the death of his mother and the setbacks in his career made Zhou Caiqin want to end his life and even stayed in a mental hospital for more than ten days. Zhou was desperate, but her courage to survive made her "alive" again.

When Cai Qin worked as a typist for an insurance company, she was full of expectations, but was eventually told that she was not qualified for the job. She had no choice but to mock herself on the National Association of Women's Organization poster: She can't type. Faced with the double blow of family and career, she has almost no way out. She has no one to hire, no stable source of income, and she has to face cynicism from time to time. There is no worse situation than this.

As this beauty said: "When there is no way out, just learn something, and you will be able to use it one day." When she had no way out, she firmly chose to go to Tufts University Study drama and learn things, thinking that one day you can use them. Through hard work, I obtained a master's degree in drama, and firmly found my original self in the gray time. But the stage of drama has always been her dream. Even if she is in a desperate situation, she still wants to return to that shining stage.

I continued to move towards my dream of regaining drama at the Cambridge Drama Club. I studied there for three years and performed for three years.

Although the salary during this period was not high, it also honed her acting skills. Each performance became more and more exquisite and outstanding.

The knowledge Zhou Caiqin gained at Tufts University and the acting skills she learned at the Cambridge Drama Club were really used one day. Her continuous study laid a solid foundation for her comeback, and the acting skills she honed during this period played a crucial role in her future roles.

Finally had the opportunity to return to the stage. The "Joy Luck Club" made this once famous "China Doll" famous in the UK and became popular again. As a result, the 60-year-old entered the stage. The door to Hollywood. Many superstars were born in Hollywood, such as Marilyn Monroe, who used sex as a symbol.

Years of honed acting skills have enabled Zhou to win many awards, such as the American "Amis Lifetime Achievement Award" in 2001. But Zhou Caiqin never forgot her hometown. In 1981, she finally returned to her beloved motherland. The aging beauty has never stopped her acting career. She is a real veteran actress who always says, "Beauty is most afraid of old age." However, with the passage of time and the ups and downs of life, this beauty has become more and more charming and dazzling.

An independent soul, a legend written

Perhaps she is not an admirable mother and wife. She did not realize it when she first met the man she fell in love with. I long for freedom and my unwillingness to stay in a "cage" is so strong. Nor did she expect that her husband had a stubborn heart under his elegant appearance. When did Zhou's yearning for freedom become so strong?

When she met Ken, at that time, Ken had extraordinary achievements. He was a famous film critic, and his vision was naturally very broad, and the circle of life was not what she had imagined. Caiqin gradually felt that she was her husband's shadow, shrouded in him, as if she could no longer see herself.

Zhou Caiqin is a person who is full of confidence, even to the point of overflowing with confidence. Faced with differences, she also begins to realize how strong her yearning for independence and freedom is. It was the end of this marriage that really made Zhou realize himself. She is still the charming and stubborn sweetheart like a leopard at the beginning, but she has grown in love and become a "free and independent soul".

Back in China, she truly explained to people what it means to be an "old actor". Before starring in Jia Mu, she also performed in "Grey's Internship". Sandra Oh once said: "I benefited a lot from being able to act with her." In "Now You See Me 2", although her role was very small, But as long as it's her part, her acting is flawless and natural. This is inseparable from previous learning.

Actually, Zhou had formed a relationship with "A Dream of Red Mansions" as early as when he was 20 years old. During this period, his father went to North Korea to express condolences to the volunteer soldiers. There were often various honorary clippings in the letters exchanged, so the impression was also Especially profound. She is obsessed with Bao Daichai's love.

The second time she read it was during her downtrodden days, and her eyes also shifted to the first chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions". Read it again, it's time to play Jia Mu. From young to middle-aged and old, there is an inexplicable connection between Zhou Caiqin and "Dream of Red Mansions".

When he appeared on the cover again many years later, he turned his own story and the stories of others into legends. Don’t forget what she said: “Learn something when there is no way out, and you will be able to use it one day.”
