The second version, starring Andy Lau and Yulian Chan in 1983, set a Hong Kong viewership record, but the latter was later frozen after he refused to sign a five-year contract with TVB. "Little Dragon Girl" Chen Yulian and Chow Yun-fa had a five-year relationship that ended in failure.

At that time, Andy Lau was really tender

In 1998, "The Condor Heroes" was also the most questioned version, starring Wu Qianlian and Ren Xianqi. This version has more modern elements and less charm of costume films, so the audience’s evaluation is not high.

On the 15th, Li Ruotong, who had been keeping a low profile, suddenly opened Weibo and wrote: "I finally opened Weibo! Hahaha…". The following is a detailed account of what happened to her "aunt" who has been away from the screen for many years.

Li Ruotong, an actor in Hong Kong, China, her father is a worker and her mother is a full-time wife. She ranks seventh in the family of ten children. When she was a child, because she looked like a mixed-race child, her neighbors would gossip, and Li Ruotong once thought she was picked up by her parents.

When she grew up, Li Ruotong had good grades, but she didn’t go to college for love. She was a flight attendant before she became an actor. (The picture below shows Li Ruotong in the same uniform back then, please make up for it yourself.) She had not studied acting, and was discovered by a talent scout by chance. In that era, talent scouts were popular, and Lin Xinru, Gao Yuanyuan, Liang Gigi, Ruan Jingtian, Wu Zun, Li Jiaxin, Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, and Chen Huixian were all discovered by talent scouts on the street.

After being discovered by a talent scout, Li Ruotong shot her first commercial in 1990. In the same year, she made a cameo appearance as Wang Zuxian’s classmate in the movie "Romantic Murder Free Man" starring Ren Dahua and Wang Zuxian. During the filming of this movie, Li Ruotong injured her knee and cried while washing in the shower. At that time, Li Ruotong was still a little "baby fat", but she once admitted on the show that she missed herself very much.

In 1992, Li Ruotong was discovered by director Tsui Hark, and after some tests, she was selected to star in a movie, playing the role of the female second Ziluo. Her vivid features and outstanding temperament left a deep impression on people, and she seemed to be a star in the future. But at that time, Li Ruotong was not interested in being a star. She didn’t want to be an actress, but wanted to be a nurse, but couldn’t realize this wish because she was afraid of blood. On the other hand, now, how many people are determined to become stars with "the head can be broken and the blood can be shed". In the past, actors acted because they loved to act, but now some stars act because of "money".

In 1993, there was a reversal. Li Ruotong’s airline company did not allow her to rest when she was sick. Then she quit her job and entered the entertainment industry. In the same year, she signed a contract with Johnnie To to go to the mainland to shoot a movie for four months. The movie "Burning the Red Lotus Temple" made her officially enter the entertainment industry. Another reason why she chose to leave Hong Kong that year was that she was in love. Li Ruotong, who had just entered the entertainment industry, had a hard time. She once recalled: "No one cares about you when you are injured. No one cares about you when you are injured. You have to do whatever I tell you to do. I feel uncomfortable. I feel unfair treatment. I didn’t do anything wrong, because you may have to find someone to take the blame, so you find me, and you find this newcomer. You have something to say, I feel very bitter about this, and I feel very wronged. "

Li Ruotong, who had been filming for four months, didn’t want to act because it was too hard, but her friend told her that she should give herself another chance and try again. If she really didn’t like it, she wouldn’t do it. Li Ruotong tried again, starring in the movie "An Ordinary Sunday" in 1994, which starred in the same year.

After 1994, Li Ruotong fell in love with acting

In 1995, Li Ruotong starred in the costume drama "The Condor Hero", which became popular all over the country, and the title "aunt" accompanied her throughout her life. At that time, the producer showed Mr. Jin Yong a photo of Li Ruotong, and after seeing the photo, Jin Yong said that she (Li Ruotong) was the little dragon girl in his mind. It is reported that Li Ruotong read the script all night, read the novel several times, and looked for materials from "The Condor Hero" to study. During the filming process, because there were many action scenes, she was often injured and bruised all over her body, but Li Ruotong persisted and created the most classic "aunt" image.

In 1996, Li Ruotong collaborated with Tony Leung and Chen Xiaochun. In the same year, she played another play of Jin Yong, "Tianlong Babu", in which she played Wang Yuyan, who dared to love and hate. Later, Li Ruotong starred in "Head-on", "Fate to Come", "Strange Case", "Women General Yang", "Qiuxiang", "Return Like a Rainbow" and other works.

After 2004, Li Ruotong faded from the screen for love. In 2009, Li Ruotong’s father suffered a stroke and lost his ability to take care of himself, unable to walk or eat. However, under her careful care, her father was successfully discharged from the hospital. Unfortunately, her father passed away soon after, and Li Ruotong spent her last time with her father. After her father passed away, Li Ruotong often went home and put her experience and time in the family. Li Ruotong’s mother prefers to play mahjong, and once joked about recruiting a son-in-law to find someone who can play mahjong.

During the same period, Li Ruotong’s boyfriend of 10 years, Guo Yingquan, broke up with her, and the "love first" Li Ruotong suffered a double blow. At that time, Li Ruotong suffered from depression at one point, and it took two and a half years of drug treatment to recover. The recovery of the illness was inseparable from the care of Li Ruotong’s mother. Her mother also wrote a letter to Li Ruotong: "Dear daughter, I am the happiest and happiest to have you as my daughter in my life. Thank you for always taking care of my parents and family, including taking care of my aunt’s daughter as your own, will not relax, and take care of her as your own daughter.

In real life, she and Gu Tianle had not seen each other for 16 years. When the two met at the airport, Gu Tianle called her "aunt", and she replied "Ah, Guo’er". It’s still you who goes around in circles. Coincidentally, I haven’t seen each other in and out of the play for 16 years.
