In the history of Chinese entertainment, there is an actress whose name is deeply engraved in people's hearts-Liu Dan. With her outstanding beauty and superb acting skills, she left a brilliant chapter in her short life.
However, her life was full of tragedies, like a passer-by, which brought a heavy blow to her family.
Liu Dan, born in Harbin in 1972, was originally a happy family of four. Her father is a policeman, and her brother dotes on her. This family seems to have ushered in more happiness after her birth.
From an early age, Liu Dan showed unusual talent. She is not only good-looking, but also good at singing and dancing, and has always cherished the dream of becoming an actress. At a young age, with her outstanding acting talent, she was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and began her acting journey.
However, the star that really made Liu Dan a household name was her role as "Xiang Fei" in "returning Pearl 2". This was originally played by "Qiong Girl" Jiang Qinqin, but because of the schedule problem, it unexpectedly became an opportunity for Liu Dan.
On the other hand, Liu Dan conquered the audience with his amazing performance. The classic picture of her dancing in the imperial garden fascinated Qianlong and became the first beauty of "returning pearls".
The success of the TV series not only broke the Asian viewing record, but also made Liu Dan famous. Her beauty and talent have become a favorite topic for the audience. However, the turning point of fate came at her peak.
On January 30, 2000, Liu Dan finished a day of performance and was ready to go home to have a rest. However, she never ushered in a new morning on this day. In the early hours of the morning, Liu Dan's vehicle had a serious traffic accident on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen highway.
As the speed of the car was too fast, the driver did not have time to avoid the obstacles ahead, causing the vehicle to hit the guardrail. Liu Dan was thrown out of the car, after the hospital's all-out rescue, finally unable to save her young life.
The news shocked the entire entertainment industry, and audiences and industry insiders deeply regretted her departure. It is an endless regret that a star with such great potential and talent died at the age of 28.
However, Liu Dan's death is only the beginning of the tragedy. Eight months after her death, her father died after being stabbed several times by a gangster in the course of his official duties. This blow made the originally happy family instantly fall into despair. According to Liu Dan's last wish, the family chose to bury her and her father together so that they could be reunited in another world.
But the cruelty of fate has not stopped. A few years later, Liu Dan's brother fainted at home. He was diagnosed with advanced cancer and died a few months later. This is supposed to be a happy and warm family, but it has lost three relatives in just a few years.
The devastating blow to the family made Liu Dan's mother fall into depression. After losing her husband and two children, she became in a trance, often muttering their names. Both Liu Dan's aunt and aunt tried to take her to live in her home, but she firmly disagreed, as if afraid that once she left, she would never find the direction of home again.
Such a family tragedy is distressing. The once-shining star is now reunited with his relatives in another world. But the family members left behind have to bear the heaviest loss in life.
However, although Liu Dan has been dead for many years, her influence still lives on. Every year at Qingming, Zhu Hongjia, who plays "Xiao Jian," goes to visit her. This friend who silently guards her commemorates the former film superstar in her own way.
Time flies. Liu Dan has been away from us for 23 years. Although she no longer exists in real life, she has left many good memories for us to remember for a lifetime.
Liu Dan's tragedy evokes a deep reflection on the fragility of life, and temporary negligence may bring eternal regret. Life is as beautiful as summer flowers and death as autumn leaves. Liu Dan's story tells us that we should cherish the present and pay more attention to safety so that life is full of glory in every moment.
Liu Dan, from her hometown to heaven, she will always be the most beautiful. Her life may be short, but shining, like a meteor across the night sky, leaving a beautiful trace.
May she find her happiness in another world, and those of us who stay in the world, we should cherish everything in front of us and treat every passer-by with our heart, because life is impermanent and every day is a precious gift.
