Le Di Popular HK Actress 1950-60s era
Le Di, known then as a "Classical Beauty" and became wildly popular after appearing in the mega hit film 'Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Tai' in 1963. The film is a classical opera film based on the popular Chinese folktale of a woman who disguised herself as a man to enter into a school to study as women were not allowed to study 1000 yrs ago and how this other guy falls for her and the pair fall in love as she reveals herself to be a woman in reality but their parents forbid their love and arrange a marriage for her...the guy dies from love sickness and the weather becomes bad on her wedding day forcing her bridal carriage to pass through his grave whereby the grave opens up and she dives in dying as well...thus the lovers are reincarnated as a pair of butterflies...so nowadays, some ppl will say when they see a pair of butterflies that they maybe the lovers...Le Di like many other top Chinese actresses of that era committed suicide at a young age rumoured to be cos of relationship problems..
