Gong Qiuxia, also romanized as Kung Chiu-hsia, was born in 1916 under the name (龚莎莎 Gong Shasha and 龚秋香 Gong Qiuxiang) in Chongming County, Jiangsu province (now part of Shanghai), China. She was a famous movie star and singer. By the 1940s, she became one of the seven great singing stars.[1]
Biography
In 1933, she traveled across Southeast Asia as a member of the Shanghai Plum Flower Troupe (梅花æŒèˆžå›¢). One of the theatrical plays she took part in was the Five Tiger Generals (五虎将).[1] As a result of her training, she was an accomplished tap dancer. Her early films would capitalize on this talent as one of the few Chinese female stars who was a triple-threat (acting, singing, dancing). People would affectionately refer to her as an older Shirley Temple.
Career
In 1936, she made her first film (父æ¯å女, Father Mother Son Daughter). In 1937, she starred in the movie 压å²é’± and began taking a relatively serious attitude toward filmmaking. She is most recognized for playing the mature, housewife image.[1]
From 1938 to 1980, she took part in a number of movies. The movie å››åƒé‡‘ (Four Daughters) would earn her the nickname "Big Sister."[1]
In the 1930s, she was recognized as one of the three great mandopop singers with Zhou Xuan and Bai Hong.[1]
She died on 7 September 2004 in Hong Kong.[1]
