Born poor

Xia Peizhen (1908-1975) was born in a poor family. Her parents made a living by selling labor. When she was 13 years old, her parents couldn't bear her daughter's suffering. They sent her from Nanjing to Shanghai to join her uncle.

opportunity

Xia Peizhen was invited to star in "burning the Red Lotus Temple" by the star film company. She started shooting 18 episodes in a row and became the most popular martial arts star at that time. She was as famous as Hu Die and Xuan Jinglin, earning 800 Silver yuan a month, and became the most satisfactory cash cow for her adoptive father. The adoptive father wants Xia Peizhen to go to other film factories to make movies, to blackmail the "Star" for a raise.

The audience boycotted the "supernatural film", and the star film company changed its production policy and made literary films. Xia Peizhen returned to the star film company and co starred with Hu Die in the sound films "singing girl red peony" and "marriage between crying and laughing". Her role as Guan xiugu was praised by the audience, and then she starred in the left-wing films "wild flow", "oppression", "fragrant grass beauty", "daughter's classic" and "flower of freedom" and other realistic works, with superb acting skills and fame, which can stand up with Hu Die.

Finally, she took too much drugs and was very weak. When she was filming, she fell down and got hurt. From then on, she said goodbye to the film world and was down and out. For a time, she lived by performing arts in Jianghu. He returned to work after the founding of new China and died in 1975.
