Seeing that Aunt Xuan's precious photos can be preserved so well for decades, I can't help asking, "how can those photos be preserved so well?"

Aunt Xuan said, "the photo is not mine! It's my father who left it. He likes photography very much, so he has had many photos since he was a child. In fact, all my photos were burned during the cultural revolution. At that time, many dramas, such as thunderstorm, sunrise, spring and autumn, were burned, whether they were still photos of ancient costumes or early Republic dramas. Occasionally, some photos were found by my father or my sister in Tianjin. "

Zhang Ying in stage play

As a child, aunt Xuan's father set up a bungalow in today's Wong Tai Sin area. At that time, aunt Xuan studied in Minsheng academy and walked back to school in the daytime. Later, in 1945, when Japan attacked Hong Kong, aunt Xuan had no schooling and performed stage plays with Zhang Ying and others.

"After less than a year, it's hard to go! When I got to Guangzhou Bay, which is now Zhanjiang, because my father was not willing to serve the Japanese at that time, I took a family and fled with my brothers and sisters. " At that time, aunt Xuan ranked second, only nine years old.

"When you're on the run, you have to act - with whom? It's after Chen you! If there is a younger role, I'll do it. What kind of little hero, what kind of play do women disguise as men to fight against Japan? "

Elder brother

Li Keng's reading genius

Li Keng, aunt Xuan's brother, is a child star in Shanghai. Later, she became an excellent recitation expert. Aunt Xuan highly praised her brother. She said, "he is a genius. I can achieve little in acting, which is greatly influenced by him. Especially in recitation, my brother is famous in Beijing and Guangzhou. He is an expert. A monotonous recitation can also be attracted by him, In the past, the performance was not very mature. He would teach me severely, which helped me a lot in acting! "

Although my brother is three years older than aunt Xuan, when she was in her twenties, she was very good at acting and reciting. If aunt Xuan didn't do well, he would even scold her!

He stayed in Hong Kong after his mother died in 1979

"When it comes to acting, are you willing to grow up?" I asked.

"Voluntarily, dad also strongly supports it. Every time he plays, he will take pictures under the stage with his camera."

After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, aunt Xuan graduated from Guangzhou high school. She could have been admitted to university, but she didn't get the chance.

"When I was admitted to university, but my father worked in Yonghua company and had no money for me to study. Later, he went back to Hong Kong to study English and play in Yonghua company. The purpose was to make money and help my family. It was 1949. After more than a year, I went back to Beijing to study art at the Institute of performing arts. "

Aunt Xuan studied in Beijing and met her husband there. Her husband was her classmate and an actor. Later, she became a screenwriter and director. Later, she also worked as a director of a wireless TV training class!

She returned to Hong Kong in 1979. After decades of doing so, why didn't you come back early or late, and why did you come back to Hong Kong in 1979?

"I was the main actor in Guangdong dialect troupe, and my work went smoothly. The reason I came back was that my mother was seriously ill. He sent me a telegram and sent me a picture. My father passed away in 1953, but I didn't go back to Hong Kong because I had to act. My mother was seriously ill, and my brother passed away. I really wanted to go back to Hong Kong. At that time, I was performing for the whole country. I wanted to return to Hong Kong immediately after the performance, but the performance was a star In the end, my mother passed away, and I couldn't see the last side. " Aunt Xuan said.

Even so, she said: "so far, my physical condition is very good, maybe I used to swim when I was a child! When I used to be a basic actor in Yonghua company, when there was no filming, I went to Nanguo film company. At any time, Rong Xiaoyi, Zhang Ying and Qin Jian were all filming. I took part-time recording. When they had morning tea at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, I went swimming. When I swam at ten o'clock, I went home to sleep. When I slept at three o'clock in the afternoon, I entered the factory again. I was about 18 years old every day. "

Zhang Ying, Rong Xiaoyi and Li Qing are all friends of aunt Xuan's father, Mr. Li Minwei. Aunt Xuan even said, "when the Japanese attacked Hong Kong, they all came to my house and slept in the living room. At any time, people living in the city are very dangerous. We live in the suburbs. It's safer!"
