Personal experience

Marital status

The Cultural Revolution destroyed the first marriage

In early 1959, Liu Shikun played in the auditorium of the Central Conservatory of music, and ye Shuai, accompanied by his daughter, came to watch. Liu Shikun's eyes can't help but be attracted by Ye Xiangzhen. Her skin is white and her big eyes flicker as if she can speak. After leaving, the appearance of Ye Xiangzhen lingered in Liu Shikun's mind and could not disappear. At this time, Liu Shikun received a letter, which was a poem specially written for him, with the signature of "Ye Xiangzhen". As a reply, he sent his piano band to Ye Xiangzhen. In the exchange of poetry and music, love begins quietly. In 1962, they were officially married. After the wedding, Liu Shikun, as a member of Ye Shuai's family, officially moved into the Marshal's family. In 1964, ye Xiangzhen gave birth to a lively and lovely fat son Maomao. At the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution" in 1966, four of Ye Shuai's six children, two sons in law and the nanny who took care of Maomao in Liu Shikun's family were all put in prison in a short time. After much consideration, Liu Shikun said to Ye Xiangzhen, "I've been identified as a counter revolutionary. You haven't been named yet. Let's divorce! Only in this way will you not be involved, and maybe Ye Shuai can be kept Liu Shikun and ye Xiangzhen finally went through the divorce procedures at the Beijing Garrison headquarters. At the end of the "ten-year catastrophe", Liu Shikun returned to the central Orchestra again, and ye Xiangzhen also became a film director. Although they did not talk about marriage again, they kept a most sincere friendship and contact. In the early 1980s, ye Xiangzhen directed the country's "wilderness", in which Liu Shikun was responsible for recording the music. During the shooting process of "wilderness", ye Xiangzhen met the famous photographer Rodin and began to associate with him. Subsequently, ye Xiangzhen and Rodin held a wedding.

Film by another name

After the cultural revolution, ye Xiangzhen, who changed to medicine halfway through, returned to the literary and art circles and began to make documentaries in the China News Agency. Ye Xiangzhen adapted Cao Yu's expressionist drama into a movie script under the name of Lingzi. Although the wilderness was forbidden for a time, it was finally liberated. Seven years later, in the 1988 China Film Hundred Flowers Award, wilderness won the best feature film award. In the late autumn of 1986, Marshal Ye Jianying died of illness. To Ling Zi's regret, his father failed to see the brilliance of his career.

Doing business in Hong Kong

Seeing off her father, Ling Zi left the film industry and Beijing after directing several films such as "the sound of the wind blowing suona". In 1987, she came to Hong Kong with her husband Rodin and began to try an unprecedented way of life - business. After years of poor management, they have set up their own company in Hong Kong, operating various projects and slowly gaining a firm foothold. she is very peaceful. Even when she recalls her experiences in the cultural revolution, she has no resentment and indignation in her tone and expression. Lingzi was 67 years old in 2009, but she was full of the enthusiasm and vigor of a young man.
