Introduction to Wen Meiling, why did she die?

Weng Meiling, whose English name is Barbara and whose nickname is Nannan, was born on May 7, 1959 and died on May 14, 1985. She was only 26 years old.

Aweng filled in the information himself:

Zodiac sign: Pig

Origin: Anhui

Constellation: Taurus

Height: 5 feet 2 inches (157.5cm)

Weight: 92 pounds (83.5 pounds)

Religion: Catholic

Measurements: 32, 23, 34

Aweng's biological father was a naval officer, and Aweng's mother was not the main wife, so Aweng could be regarded as an illegitimate daughter. She had a lot of ups and downs in her life. When she was young, her family was well off. Aweng lived with her parents in the mountains, and the family also hired workers to take care of her. It can be seen from the photos of Aweng when she was a child. She was like a little princess at that time

When Aweng was a child, she loved dancing very much. When she heard the music, she would unconsciously move her body to the music. , and later, also studied ballet.

In 1966, when Aweng was 7 years old, his father passed away, and Aweng’s mother was not accepted by her husband’s family, nor could she receive an inheritance, and the family was in decline

In 1973 , mother and stepfather Liao Xingtang immigrated to the UK, but Aweng could not leave with his mother immediately due to formalities, and stayed in Hong Kong with his uncle Chen Jing for two years. During these two years, Aweng learned to live independently and developed an independent personality.

In 1974, 15-year-old Ah Ong graduated from Rosehill Secondary School in Hong Kong, and then left Hong Kong and immigrated to the United Kingdom with his mother.

As a student, Ah Ong was smart but not very studious. student, she is better in science, but she was deeply influenced by her uncle who was a painter. She liked art since she was a child and has a high talent for music and art. After a little hesitation between studying science or art, she chose Fine art as her career.

When he was in college, Aweng was very family-oriented and sensible. He did everything at home, including washing the floor, cooking, and helping in the store. Aweng University has not spent many weekends in London for several years. She also worked at a McDonald's in London and taught Chinese at *** and Chinese schools. (The money from the charity auction after Awen's death was donated to this school according to her will to purchase a new school building. This school building is located near the famous Baker Street in London. This British Association Chinese School is a London Chinese School It is one of only two schools in China that has its own school building. I wonder if the Chinese children who are now learning Chinese there know that their classroom has the hard work of a very young sister)

After two years of preparatory studies at the University of Cambridge (Foundation Course), and four years at the Central School of Art and Design in London, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1981

This school is the predecessor of Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. In 1896, the central school of arts and crafts was established in London. It was originally intended to train craftsmen, but it gradually became a center for students and experts in handicraft design. In the beginning, it was just intended to focus the school on handicrafts. However, after more than half a century, after relocation, multiple mergers and divisions, the school has become a school that includes handicrafts, fabrics, decoration, clothing, knitting, A comprehensive art school covering industrial design and fine art. In 1966, it was renamed Central College of Art and Design. In January 1986, after Aweng's death, the college, together with several other art colleges, established the prestigious London Institute, one of the best art colleges in the world.

In 1989, it merged with St. Martin's School of Art, another member of the London Institute, and changed its name to its current name, becoming the largest member of the London Institute. In 1998, it became the largest member of the British fashion industry. Received the Queen's Annual Award for outstanding contributions.

In the field of art and crafts, London Institute and its members are also at the Beidou level on a global scale. Its graduates work for major well-known companies and brands around the world, and their students’ names are definitely among the winners of various world-class design competitions. As far as Aweng Nian's fabric design major is concerned, her school is top-notch in the UK, Europe and even the world.

In college, she majored in textile design. Uncle Weng loved Aweng since childhood and drew a lot of portraits of her.

After everyone graduated, Aweng found a job in the UK as a textile designer in a company. After working for half a year, she thought of returning to Hong Kong for a visit. Another reason for Ah Ong to return to Hong Kong was emotional problems. At this time, Ah Ong had just broken up with her boyfriend and was in a bad mood, so he returned to Hong Kong to relax.

At the end of March 1982, Ah Weng returned to Hong Kong for vacation during Easter, lived in the surrogate mother’s home on Tin Kwong Road, Kowloon City, and signed up to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant

At that time, the audience was very interested in the beauty pageant. If they were interested, the reporters tried their best to collect some daily photos and information of the Hong Kong sisters

Aweng performed very generously in the beauty pageant, but due to her short stature, she only got eighth place.

July 1982. Of course Aweng was a little disappointed when he didn't make it into the top three in the beauty pageant. But the wireless station took a fancy to her fresh and pleasant appearance and her academic qualifications, and signed a two-year contract with her to be the host of "Women's New Look".

Although this is her first time on the scene. On the screen, but Aweng's performance was calm and composed. The senior actors in the program team said that Aweng will become popular sooner or later. His personal image is still being explored and he is making his first appearance in the film and television industry.

In August 1982, he was spotted by Rome Film Company and invited Aweng to make a movie, but TVB declined. However, TVB also realized that Ah Weng was a malleable talent and transferred her to the drama team to audition for a TV series. Ah Ong felt that his future was uncertain, and he expressed this emotion in a letter home to his mother: "I believe that my work is often much smoother than my personal life." (Before Ah Ong returned to Hong Kong, there was a couple who fell in love with each other. She had a boyfriend who was a Dutch medical student for 20 years, but her personality was not compatible with her, and her mother wanted her to break up with her boyfriend. During her time as a contestant, Awen had a boyfriend, who later turned to pursue another beauty pageant in the same industry. Hong Kong sister Shen Jinling. I am afraid that Ah Weng was sighing because of these things!

In October 1982, producer Xiao Sheng, who had just joined "Wireless", took a fancy to Weng Meiling and invited her to be her first star in "Wireless". In the costume martial arts drama "Thirteen Sisters" produced by Wireless", she auditioned for the role of Shuang Gege, a young princess in the Qing Dynasty

A reporter commented on Aweng's performance in "Thirteen Sisters", "With a completely unaccepted For a professionally trained newcomer, it can be said to be a superb work."

At this time, a reporter said in the report that Ah Weng was a arrogant person before he became famous. This was probably the first time that Ah Weng had tasted the rumors. A bitter taste.

The Thirteenth Sister was not an outstanding film among the films that Weng made during his lifetime, but this film made him and Tang get to know each other and fall in love, which had a great impact on his life.

Campaign for "Ideal Huang Rong"

From September 27 to October 30, 1982, TVB publicly solicited for the ideal Huang Rong for the new film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and held the "Ideal Huang Rong" "Huang Rong Image" audition, A Weng, who was filming "Thirteen Sisters" at the time, was also among the auditions.

More than 3,000 actors signed up to participate in the election (TVB is exaggerating, right? Where can there be so many ! )

In the end, everyone was unanimously optimistic about Aweng.

Two people must be mentioned for Aweng’s election: producer Xiao Sheng and director Wang Tianlin (most of the films made by Aweng since then are These two senior supervisors and directors love and respect Ah Weng very much.

The five final candidates for the ideal Huang Rong are: Liang Yunrui, Liu Hongfang, Lu Jinghong, Li Yanshan, and Han Xiaohong.

Do you know who they are?

Liang Yunrui: She was the Miss Hong Kong champion in the same year as Aweng. Since then, she has been unknown and rarely appeared.

Liu Hongfang: In "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", she played the role of having a relationship with a scholar and giving birth to a child. A boy's vixen, she also played (seemingly) Shangguan Si Wan'er in "Wu Zetian". But both of these films were produced by ATV. Probably because they were not taken seriously by TVB, they jumped to ATV.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yanshan was the champion of the first "Miss Asia" held by ATV in 1985 (Aweng had passed away at this time). She was probably not reused in TVB and suffered a lot. Years later, I switched jobs to ATV. In 1992, Li Yanshan married "Qin Shihuang" Liu Yong and gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. In 2000, the two divorced again. (In 1982, Liu Yongzheng was divorcing his ex-wife.)

Since the role of Huang Rong finally fell to a TVB actor, there are rumors that the selection of the ideal Huang Rong was just a promotional technique for the TV station. , to create a momentum before filming begins. This statement is not groundless, because Ah Weng had auditioned for the role of Huang Rong in mid-August. At the end of August, Ah Weng's family asked how the role of Huang Rong looked. Ah Weng replied: Because the role of Huang Rong is too important, the company still has No one has decided who will play the role. The selection of the ideal Huang Rong started in September, so it is speculated that the wireless station has two motives. One is to really search and find the most suitable candidate for Huang Rong, and the other is, of course, for publicity.

On November 12, 1982 (Friday), Aweng said: "A very special thing happened. I actually received a notice from the company asking me to be Huang Rong."

He became an instant hit with "The Condor"

The first part of the archery drama "The Iron-Blooded Heart" officially started filming in December. At this time, Aweng did not have many roles in the play and was finishing the finishing work of "Thirteen Sisters".

At the end of the year, Weng's mother, who was worried about Ah Tang living alone in Hong Kong, went to Hong Kong for vacation to visit Ah Tang. She met Ah Tang and agreed to their relationship. In January 1983, "Thirteen Sisters" began to air.

In March 1983, the first part of the "Shoot" drama "Iron-Blooded Heart" began to air. Aweng only appeared in episode nine.

The second part of the drama "Shoot", "Ashes of Time", was completed in April.

The third part of the drama "Shoot", "The Sword of Huashan", was completed in mid-June. ;gt;

After half a year of hard work, the filming of "The Condor" was finally completed.

Because of this drama, TVB is filming and broadcasting at the same time (TVB productions always do this, Therefore, Ah Weng was under a lot of pressure, and the audience went from initial suspicion to later recognition. By the time the third part was broadcast, Ah Weng had been fully recognized and became a popular superstar.

Hong Kong newspapers said that "The Condor: The Condor" won a gold medal at the "New York Film and Television Festival"

The filming process of "The Condor" was very hard. The stars at that time were more dedicated and less There were stand-ins and no computer stunts, so many scenes were performed in person. Aweng, Huang Rihua, and Miu Qiaowei were all injured while filming "Shoot".

Weng Meiling was injured while fighting with someone. She almost injured the eyeball of her left eye and was forced to stay in the hospital for a few days. During the days of her injury, Atang came to the hospital to stay with her every day, which moved her very much.

Aweng: In one scene where I was playing against three people, because I didn’t match the rhythm properly, my left eye was accidentally scratched by the opponent’s weapon. I remember that I instinctively covered my left eye tightly and held back the tears, but I felt a faint pain. In the panic, blood and tears rolled down like soybeans, and I couldn't hold it in any longer. I believe the scene was very chaotic. I heard a lot of comforting words in my ears, and then I felt my body being carried into a car. At this time, my mood gradually changed from panic to calmness. Tell myself: "It will be fine at all. The small pain is unbearable, but the big thing will not happen!" When the doctor said that five stitches would be needed, these five stitches seemed to be stitched into my heart.

The hesitation and bitterness in my heart can no longer be concealed. The words of condolence expressed by everyone around me are so kind, ah! "Mom, you can't know about this!"

I was surprisingly optimistic and couldn't wait to see how ugly the five stitches under the gauze were. I accepted this with the worst thoughts. happened, I was very afraid that I would lose my appearance from now on, and I couldn’t lose my appearance no matter what! There are still forty episodes of "The Condor" to be completed, and I really don't want to die, so I was very excited and conflicted at the time. Undoubtedly, I was more worried about my work than myself, and I always felt that if I couldn't continue acting because of this matter , it can be said that all my previous efforts were in vain. Although I may not have performed well, I worked hard and struggled. Thank God, except for the darker double eyelid of his left eye, he is fine.

Liu Dan (Hong Qigong): When filming the fighting scene in [Shooting the Condor], there was a male artist. There must be a mistake in the martial arts scene, and he didn't want it to happen. There was a move... I don’t know whose fault it was, but he hit her on the eyelids without any bias, and blood continued to flow. At that time, the male artist was so stunned that she didn’t know what to do. She covered the wound herself. She saw that the male artist was very nervous, so she talked instead. A joke, asking him not to be afraid, what did she say? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you can help me with double eyelid surgery for free, it's pretty good! ! In fact...she wanted to comfort him and tell him not to be afraid. Based on these things, he knew that he could make friends with her.

Huang Rihua also suffered injuries, on the bridge of his nose. Weng Meiling also laughed at him. Myopia's eyes and nose don't work!

Public love affair

In June 1983, his uncle got married, and Ah Weng made a special trip back to England from Hong Kong to be a bridesmaid (and his uncle also postponed the wedding to accommodate Ah Weng's time).

On June 26, after the filming of "Shoot" was completed, he and Leslie Cheung, Huang Rihua, and Liang Jiehua (later became Huang Rihua's wife) waited for the European stage in Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and other places. On June 26 I will perform in London at night, in the Netherlands on June 28th and 29th, in Belgium on June 30th, in Paris on July 3rd, and will return to Hong Kong around July 10th. When he performed on stage in London, his uncle specially came to support him.

In June, Aweng took advantage of his time on stage in Europe to take a break from his busy schedule and returned home to stay for a few days.

In July, Europe After returning to Hong Kong from the stage, Ah Ong and Tom no longer avoided the reporters' cameras and publicly admitted their relationship.

At this time, Ah Ong moved out of his surrogate mother's house and rented a room in Broadcasting Channel. Live, Atang lives upstairs and Aweng lives downstairs. Since the two lived close to each other and often went out together, people in the industry began to rumor that the two were living together. Of course, Ah Weng fully denied the scandal caused by their relationship back then.

In the autumn of 1983, at the invitation of the magazine, he took a photo with Andy Lau, who had just finished filming "The Hunting", as a couple

About this time there were rumors that she was with Shen Jinling's fiancé Alex Once in love. Shen Jinling was preparing to get married when a reporter exposed the love triangle between the three of them that day, causing displeasure between Tom and Ah Weng. (A few years later, Shen Jinling still divorced her husband.)

In the first half of 1983, she co-produced a movie "Crazy 83" with Huang Rihua. This movie was directed by Chu Yuan. In the film, she makes a cameo appearance as a female detective. This is the only film in which Aweng starred.

In mid-1983, he started filming "Sandwich Man". This is Ah Weng's first fashion drama, and her partner is the senior figure Zheng Shaoqiu, who plays the role of nurse Dong Peiwen

In September, she participated in the "Stars Shine" program. In the program During the performance of "Dance of Spring", Ah Weng appeared in wedding photos

He formed a group of spring, summer, autumn and winter with the other four Hong Kong sisters to perform the song together

At the party Wearing a black dress and singing and dancing to "Take Care of Tonight" with Atang ***

On October 2, 1983, the filming of "Sandwich Man" was completed

1983 On October 19, 2016, Tom and Tom were invited to Singapore to cut the ribbon and were warmly welcomed by the audience.

In mid-October 1983, filming of "The Decisive Battle at Xuanwu Gate" began.

Ah Weng plays the role of village girl Qin Xixi, and her partners are Miao Qiaowei and Huang Rihua.

This is the first time that Ah Weng and Ah Miao appear as a screen couple. , their couple partnership is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people

In 1983, "Sandwich Man" was released on November 14.

After the film was aired, the audience's response was mediocre. Maybe people couldn't stand the pairing of Ah Weng and Qiu Guan.

Ah Weng and Tom *** both participated in the Taiwan celebration performance

The filming of "Battle of Xuanwu Gate" was completed in early December.

1983 was a year of rapid growth.

In December, he performed on stage in Thailand for the first time and was warmly welcomed by the audience.

The year 1983 was the year when Ah Weng’s career reached its peak. During this year, Ah Weng was successful in both her life and career. She became an instant hit and became a popular idol. Moreover, her relationship with Atang also blossomed. Being favored by everyone, the two of them come and go in pairs, which is enviable.

In February 1984, filming of "The Heavenly Master Takes the Throne" began.

The drama "The Celestial Master Takes the Throne" set an impressive record with the highest ratings that year, and created a precedent for Hong Kong Celestial Master films.

Because the costumes from the late Qing Dynasty suit her petite and exquisite figure very well, and the headdress matches well, most Weng fans think this is her most beautiful appearance in the film.

In April 1984, filming of "Rusty Bridge King" began. In the drama "The King of Rusty Bridge", Ah Weng once again partnered with Ah Miao to play a couple. Aweng played two roles in "The King of Rusty Bridge", one civilized and one military, one thin and one thick, very individual. One is Miss He Daoyun. One is Lin Peiying, the female overlord of the Walled City. Romance is in crisis.

In the middle of 1984, the relationship between Ah Weng and Atang has begun to be in crisis, and Atang has deliberately alienated Ah Weng. Because Aweng was in a bad mood, he was obviously much thinner than before. There were obvious signs of haggard in the photo. When people recalled it in the future, they realized that this was not a good sign. If careful netizens observe, it was from this time on that Ah Weng rarely showed sweet expressions on his face. Most of the photos showed a serious and melancholy look. This is because it was difficult for Ah Weng to be happy at this time. Laughed out loud.

On May 15, he joined hands with Michael Miu to perform on stage in Singapore. When he was on stage in Singapore, he went to a fortune teller and said, "Aweng, who is twenty-seven years old, will embark on another change in his life." (Aweng died when he was just entering his twenty-seventh year of life. )

At the beginning of June, Weng’s mother returned to Hong Kong from England to visit Ah Weng.

After returning to Hong Kong from the stage, she obtained the consent of her mother-in-law who was visiting relatives, and used the money she earned, plus all her savings, to sell the 80-square-meter Weijin property owned by Qi Ye Zhang Chong for NT$500,000. Yuan's old house.

After moving into the new house, Aweng hinted to Atang that he was not young and it was time to get married. He was almost twenty-five years old and had already established a foothold in his career, so he was willing to take a risk and wanted to get married with him regardless of whether the fans would be unhappy. Tang Zhenye's reply was that he had not seen success in his own career and asked Weng Meiling to wait for another period of time. After Weng Meiling moved into his new house, she also gave him a set of keys and expressed her feelings to him, saying that no matter whose money was used to buy the house, it belonged to both of them, and Tang Zhenye could regard it as his own home. . As a result, Tang Zhenye also began to come in and out of Weng Meiling's home. For convenience, Weng Meiling's home also began to have more of his clothes. At this time, people in the industry once again rumored that the two were living together.

Around June 15, Atang and I returned to the UK to visit relatives and stayed for more than ten days.

In July 1984, he signed a five-year contract with Wireless. In July, he succeeded Maggie Cheung and was elected as the Vibrant Star.

Ah Weng in 1984 should be described in two stages. In the first half of the year, Ah Weng still had a good harvest of career and love. The film was very successful. However, in the second half of the year, the two of them spent more time together than each other (Tom was filming in Taiwan), and there were many scandals about each other. As Aweng became more and more famous, Atang's feelings for her also changed, and he already wanted to break up. But Aweng had identified a person and it was difficult to change, so he fell into deep pain.

Ah Weng's career also began to decline with "The Master", because all the films he made after that were not very successful. Either there were too few scenes, or the roles were repeated, and the overall production level of the films was not as good as before. These are of course not Aweng's fault, but they are also related to her bad mood and lack of interest in studying acting.

In the Lunar New Year of 1985 (around February), Aweng heard rumors that Atang had another girlfriend, and he tried to commit suicide out of anger. She swallowed four sleeping pills at one time and regretted it very much afterwards, so she called a doctor she knew well and he taught her how to do gastric lavage by herself. Another time she turned on the gas stove and wanted to try the taste of the gas that would make her faint. However, as soon as she turned on the stove, a friend came to her house and stopped her from playing the death game in time.

At this time, she accidentally met Alex, who was already married and was her boyfriend. Aweng complained: "I don't know why I shoot day and night. I am famous and there seems to be no goal. I have been there twice." I wanted to resign and went to talk to He Jialian, but I couldn't find him twice, so I couldn't resign." It can be seen that Aweng was actually at a critical point in her life at this time, but it was a pity that no one really cared about her, and everyone cared about her. She just listened to her words, no one shared her worries.

In April, he finished filming his last drama "Chuhe Hanjie". TVB originally arranged for Maggie Cheung to perform in this drama, but it was replaced by Ah Weng. In this drama, Aweng made a cameo appearance in one episode.

Tang Zhenye probably insisted that they pose intimately when taking pictures, but Weng Meiling behaved unnaturally. When the two went to the dressing room to remove their makeup, he left without waiting for Weng Meiling. Weng Meiling was furious. , and played with Master Zou until midnight that night. The next day, Atang moved away all the remaining clothes in Aweng's house, and the two broke up.

Aweng and Atang each found companions to play with.

On May 3, he participated in the "Celebrity Charity Competition" performance. This was Aweng's last appearance on a TV show.

On May 6, he was photographed for a magazine. Aweng's last album before his death.

On May 7th, Aweng spent his birthday alone, but Atang did not show up.

On the evening of May 10, Weng Meiling went to dance with Master Zou in a depressed mood. Master Zou took the opportunity to ask her to go to Macau for a day the next day (Saturday).

On May 11, A Weng and Zou Shilong were playing in Macau, while Atang, Sandra Ng, Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen were traveling together and were photographed by reporters, which became a hot news in the newspapers the next day

On May 12, after returning to Hong Kong from Macau, the reporter went to Aweng's home for an interview on Sunday. He took photos of Tom and Sandra Ng and asked him how he felt. He pretended to be generous and said it was nothing.

On May 14, at two o'clock in the morning, I called Zou Shilong and said that he was working very hard and that life was boring.

That night, Zou was worried and went to visit Aweng downstairs, but was unable to enter.

Speculation: Weng Meiling drank half a bottle of brandy by herself, and used the brandy to give some narcotics, until she turned on the bathroom gas stove in a daze and destroyed herself.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Zou Shilong broke in and found Aweng dead from gas poisoning at home. On her calendar card, there is a sentence: DARING I LOVE YOU.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Aweng was sent to the "Baptist Hospital" and was confirmed to have recovered.

The streets were deserted to bid farewell to Aweng.

On May 18, Sunday at 11:00 am, Aweng’s burial ceremony will be held. Her body lay peacefully in the coffin, and the shroud she wore was a white embroidered ancient costume she wore.
