"Farewell My Concubine" starring Leslie Cheung, Gong Li and Zhang Fengyi.
1, Cheng Dieyi actor Leslie Cheung
Peking Opera famous actor, very obsessed with Peking Opera. Since childhood was sold by his mother to the Peking opera troupe to learn to sing Qingyi, and later with his brother Duan Xiaolou for co-starring in the "Farewell My Concubine" and become a famous actor. When Cheng Dieyi played Yu Ji, she reached the level of forgetfulness of "no madness, no life", which, coupled with Cheng Dieyi's peculiar experience in her childhood, made Cheng Dieyi really sink into her own "dream of the opera".
2, Chrysanthemum actress Gong Li
Flower House head of the brand, for the Kyoto actor Duan Xiaolou favorite, and later with Duan Xiaolou day to day love, the two eventually came together and married. Later, Duan Xiaolou said against his will that he didn't like Juxian in order to protect himself, which made Juxian see Duan Xiaolou's face clearly. After saying goodbye to Cheng Dieyi, she hanged herself from a beam in the house.
3. Duan Xiaolou actor Zhang Fengyi
Share the same obsession with Peking Opera as Cheng Dieyi, Cheng Dieyi's partner when she sang Peking Opera. He looks strong on the surface, but is actually very weak inside. He talks about being patriotic and not singing for the Japanese, but when he was arrested himself, it was his younger brother Cheng Dieyi who sacrificed himself to get him out.
