May 13 is the 15th anniversary of the death of Chen Xiaoxu, who played Lin Daiyu in the 87th edition of “A Dream of Red Mansions”. “Jia Baoyu” Ouyang Fenqiang posted an old photo and wrote in memory: “I hope you are well in Taixu.” Chen Xiaoxu in the photo is wearing a cheongsam Looking down at the book, she was gentle and quiet, and there was a trace of sadness hidden between her brows, just like Lin Daiyu’s copy. Ouyang Fenqiang even called her “Eternal Sister Lin”.
It is reported that Chen Xiaoxu was born in a family with a strong artistic atmosphere since childhood, and his parents hope that Chen Xiaoxu can inherit his father’s career and work in the Peking Opera Troupe. But Chen Xiaoxu doesn’t like Peking Opera, but is obsessed with ballet. In 1983, Chen Xiaoxu accidentally saw in a magazine that the crew of the TV series “Dream of Red Mansions” had selected actors nationwide, so she sent a letter of recommendation to director Wang Fulin and got the opportunity to participate in the interview. Finally, following 3 months of training and assessment, Chen Xiaoxu obtained the qualification to play the heroine Lin Daiyu. And that’s how she met Ouyang Fenqiang, who played Jia Baoyu.
Chen Xiaoxu’s gestures, frowns and smiles are very in line with Sister Lin’s temperament, and she even interprets Lin Daiyu’s melancholy and weak temperament to the fullest. Many viewers who watched the 87th edition of “A Dream of Red Mansions” mightn’t help but say that “she almost came out of the book”.
On February 23, 2007, Chen Xiaoxu left his family, and his name was Miaozhen. On May 13 of the same year, he died of breast cancer at the age of 41.
Although Chen Xiaoxu has left us for fifteen years, she still lives in the hearts of countless audiences and is still the most beautiful “Sister Lin” in everyone’s heart.
