What is the concept of a person working in a job for 80 years?
I am afraid that for many people in this world, let alone working for 80 years, even living for 80 years is a rare luxury.
But 93-year-old Tian Hua did it. It has been 80 years since June 1941 when he was sent to North China United University to study cultural courses and drama performances.
The year she officially started working in literature and art, she was only 13 years old.
On June 2, an event commemorating the 80th anniversary of Tian Hua’s revolutionary literary and artistic work was held in Beijing. At the event, Tian Hua was smiling, moving freely, and speaking gracefully. No one dared to imagine that she was already 93 Years old.
Many guests came to the scene, many of whom were famous actors that people were very familiar with.
Liu Xiaoqing, the goddess who became famous in the 1980s with the movie "Little Flower", brought a pair of her own calligraphy works to Teacher Tian Hua, with the message "Youth of the Times".
Zhang Jinling, who was one of the "Beijing Film Three Flowers" with Liu Xiaoqing that year (the other was Li Xiuming), also came to the scene.
As a student of Tian Hua, Chen Peisi recalled the past of teachers and students on the spot, saying that he had no hope at all after taking the actor recruitment exam at Bayi Factory because he was just a rural person who had just moved to the city. , and those who took the exam with me were either graduates from prestigious professional schools or very experienced.
However, Teacher Tian Hua has a keen eye for talents and believes that he may become a useful person in the future, so he admits him against all objections.
Chen Peisi’s old partner Zhu Shimao also made a surprise appearance. When everyone took a group photo, Chen Peisi was standing on one side holding Tian Hua’s hand, while Zhu Shimao was close to Chen Peisi’s side.
In addition, there are the 85-year-old former Executive Vice Minister of Culture Gao Zhanxiang, the 86-year-old performing artist Xie Fang, the famous actor Wang Fuli, who is known as the "No. 1 Sister-in-law in the World" in the Chinese film industry, etc. .
So many famous people came to celebrate Tian Hua, which shows that this old artist is really highly respected.
When it comes to Tian Hua, many young people may not know much about it, but for people before the 1980s, when it comes to this name, almost everyone knows it.
This has to start with a movie.
In 1950, the former Northeast Film Studio produced a black-and-white film "The White-Haired Girl", which became an immortal classic of that era.
Poor tenant farmer Yang Bailao lost his wife in his early years and had only one daughter named Xi'er. He was originally engaged to Wang Dachun, the child of the neighbor's Aunt Wang, but who knew that because Xi'er was young and beautiful, he was taken over by the villagers? The bully Huang Shiren targeted him.
In order to occupy Xi'er, Huang Shiren conspired with the housekeeper Mu Renzhi to force Yang Bailao to repay the debt within the year with heavy rent and huge profits. On New Year's Eve, Yang Bailao, who was unable to repay his debt, was forced by Huang Shiren to put a pledge on his daughter's sale deed.
After leaving the Huang Mansion, Yang Bailao was filled with regret and grief. He felt ashamed of his daughter, so when he returned home, he drank brine and committed suicide.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Xi'er was snatched away by Huang Shiren. Not only was she tortured in the Huang family, but Huang Shiren took the opportunity to rape her.
Wang Dachun went to rescue Xi'er, but failed, so he went to join the Red Army.
Xi'er, who was already pregnant, escaped from Huang Shiren's house with the help of Aunt Zhang, the Huang family's maid. She gave birth to a baby on the way, but died immediately.
After that, Xi'er hid alone in the mountains and slept in the open air. Due to long-term malnutrition, her black hair gradually turned into a head of white hair. Xi'er, who couldn't find anything to eat, often ran to the ruined temple at the foot of the mountain. When he went to eat the fruit for sacrifice, he was caught by someone. For a while, the people in the village were superstitious and believed that it was the "white-haired fairy" who had descended from the earth and appeared.
A few years later, Wang Dachun, who participated in the revolution, returned to his hometown with the team. Huang Shiren spread rumors that the team came to the village as a "white-haired fairy" to relieve disaster, which made people panic for a while.
In order to find out the truth and expose the rumors, Wang Dachun personally went to the mountain to find out what happened on the night of the full moon, only to find out that the "white-haired fairy" was actually Xi'er.
Wang Dachun was so excited that after coming down from the mountain, he arrested the two bullies Huang Shiren and Mu Renzhi for a public trial and then shot them, avenging Xi'er and other poor farmers.
Xi'er returned to the village, married Wang Dachun and started a family. Her white hair gradually turned back to black.
The film caused a sensation after it was released in 1951. Cinemas in many big cities showed full audiences. It won the Special Honor Award at the 6th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival that year, and in 1957 It won the first prize for feature films in the Ministry of Culture's Outstanding Film Awards and has become a red classic that has always been talked about.
With the success of the film, several of the main actors in the play became well-known to the audience and later became famous performing artists.
For example, Zhang Shouwei, the first actor to play Yang Bailao, Chen Qiang, who played the tooth-ache-inducing Huang Shiren, Hu Peng, who played Aunt Wang, etc.
The most far-reaching influence here is undoubtedly Tian Hua, the actor who plays Xi'er. "The White-Haired Girl" was her first time on the screen, but for this role she won a gold medal from the Ministry of Culture. Quality Medal.
Tian Hua was born in Tang County, Hebei Province in August 1928. She was only 22 years old when she starred in Xi'er.

In 2009, Tian Hua won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 12th China Film and Performing Arts Society Golden Phoenix Award, and in 2010, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 30th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.
As an actor, the receipt of these awards fully affirms her brilliant achievements in the development of China's film industry, and also fully establishes her lofty status in the field of Chinese film art.
