xiao rongsheng made in china

In Bai Wei"s Breaking out of the Tower of Ghosts, a different kind of family tragedy bears witness to the tyranny of Chinese cannibalism. In the play, a cruel landlord cum opium dealer, Master Rongsheng, is about to marry Yuelin, a servant girl whom Rongsheng bought years before and adopted later as his foster daughter. This plan is under way despite the fact that Rongsheng has seven concubines and Yuelin has fallen in love with Rongsheng"s own son, Qiaoming. In the meantime, Rongsheng has to cope with his rebellious tenants, whose recent riots have been reinforced by the support of local revolutionaries. The plot is further compounded by the appearance of a woman revolutionary named Xiao Sen, who was once impregnated by Rongsheng. On a visit to the mansion of Rongsheng, Xiao Sen is shocked to discover that Yuelin is her long-lost illegitimate daughter, and so the real father of Yuelin is none other than Rongsheng!

The play"s central symbolism develops around the so-called tower of ghosts (youling ta), referring to the site of an old tower taken by Master Rongsheng from a widow. The site has since been deserted amid rumors that it is haunted by ghosts; the only building that remains in the vicinity is a small house, used by Rongsheng to cage women who dare to defy his lust. Shrouded in a deadly atmosphere, the tower site may be a "living hell" where many young females have been tortured. The tower of ghosts also reminds us of the famous essay by Lu Xun, "Lun leifeng ta de daodiao" (On the collapse of the Leifeng Tower, 1926).[39] As the legend goes, the monk Fahai incarcerated the beautiful White Snake under the formidable Leifeng Tower for good—an eternal condemnation of the snake for having fallen in love with a human. The collapse of the tower, after having stood for hundreds of years, represents for Lu Xun a belated natural justice overthrowing the punishment meted out by a male-centered justice system.

Bai Wei makes clear reference to the collapse of Leifeng Tower in her play and adds to it an ironic, bitter note. Although the tower of ghosts no longer physically exists, the old, male power still rules women by invoking the coercive system of the tower. At one point in the play, Bai Wei has one woman servant articulate the fact that the tower site is not haunted by ghosts; it is Master Rongsheng who fakes ghostly sounds from time to time to sustain the old, terrifying myth. Moreover, Bai Wei suggests that the "ghosts" of the tower not only persecute women but also their own young, male descendants. Hence, "the tower of ghosts is referred to by the young master as the [patriarchal tyranny of the] old master. Master Rong-sheng may not look like a ghost, but in view of the way he oppresses his young male descendants, isn"t he comparable to the Leifeng Tower that crushed the White Snake spirit?"[40]

The archvillain of the play, Master Rongsheng is described as a fiendish landlord, an unscrupulous merchant, a heartless father, and a sex maniac. His evil forces have undermined the political, economic, ethical, and sexual foundations of Chinese society and could let it fall into anarchy at any time. Yet before his final moment comes, Master Rongsheng manages to hold on to his power, as a pillar of his society. As the play develops, when Master Rongsheng"s son, Qiaoming, comes forward to challenge his father"s wish to marry Yuelin, the father takes out his pistol and slays his son. Not content with that, Rongsheng goes on to trap the leader of the rioting tenants, jailing him under the false charge of being the murderer, and to kill an old servant, who at the last minute reveals that he has been Rong-sheng"s best friend and romantic rival.

For Bai Wei, crime on such a horrific scale goes beyond the control of imaginable legality. It can only be put down by even more outrageous deeds of violence. In the final moment of the play, when the woman revolutionary Xiao Sen returns and reveals to Master Rongsheng that she was the girl once seduced by him and that Yuelin is their daughter out of wedlock, Rongsheng, in fury, shoots at her. To protect her mother, Yuelin rushes to Xiao Sen with another pistol, which happens to be close to hand, and fires back at her father; father/rapist and daughter/victim

Critics in the Communist camp have praised Breaking out of the Tower of Ghosts as a model drama for women"s liberation. The theme of class struggle has been high-lighted in view of the deadly conflict between the landlord and the proletariat, father and children, man and woman.[42] A feminist of the fundamentalist persuasion would praise the play for its focus on misandry and its celebration of sisterhood and mother-daughter coalition.[43] These critics may have underestimated the (self-) destructive power embedded in the play. Close reading shows that in Bai Wei"s world, revolutionary leaders turn out to be either burdened by their dark past or disabled by unforeseeable contingencies. The woman revolutionary Xiao Sen has been so busy with her adventures that she has had no time for the baby, which she left in the hands of cruel and rapacious foster parents; hence the daughter"s protest that she never had a real mother. The peasant protest does triumph in the end, but only as the result of landlord Rongsheng"s death at the hands of his own daughter. Moreover, Yuelin is never portrayed as a feminist heroine; she appears instead as a girl troubled by a chronic, manic-depressive syndrome, and the root of her psychological instability is traced to her being deserted by her mother. Whereas the incestuous conjugation between father and daughter is stopped by the timely death of the father, the much-expected reunion between mother and daughter comes only at the cost of the daughter"s life. Finally, Yuelin is presented as having fallen in love with her own half brother, so that if she had had her (unnatural) way, she would still have committed incest.

Since stepping into the show business circle, Xiao Rongsheng has been deeply loved by the audience with a masculine and handsome, dashing and charming image, and his personality is low-key and does not reveal his private life at all.

The historical figure of Liu Bang is full of many film and television works, such as Later Lu Liangwei, Liu Ye, Huang Qiusheng, Chen Daoming, etc. have played this role, and what makes people constantly discuss and remember is Xiao Rongsheng"s version.

Liu Bang was a commoner in cloth clothes to a founding emperor, and he could not be a simple hooligan, nor could he be a power trick that highlighted the emperor"s appearance everywhere, and Xiao Rongsheng weighed between the two very well, lustful and rogue, but open-minded and generous, and serious about righteousness. In the same year, he cooperated with Deng Ying and Jiang Xin to star in the emotional suspense drama "Dangerous Cuckoo", and Xiao Rongsheng played the male protagonist Zhang Zhengjun.

The drama is about a host played by Xiao Rongsheng, an infatuated female college student who has a crush on xiao Rongsheng, who will not hesitate to enter the room as a nanny and entangle him in order to get him, which is his role related to extramarital love after "Longing for Passion" and "Defending Love". Through his superb acting skills, Xiao Rongsheng vividly interpreted a successful male character caught in the emotional vortex with his eyes and meticulous psychological activities.

Continuous filming and awards are filled with Xiao Rongsheng"s career career, he alone interprets different types of roles, acting skills are just right, into the wood three points, whether it is a decent image or a villain image, he can accept it calmly, because he has too many extramarital love roles, and for a while he was also called a "betrayal spokesperson", and Xiao Rongsheng himself laughed it off.

In 2006, Xiao Rongsheng did not stop for a moment, he then filmed the movie "The Story of Oil Painting Village", participated in interview programs, served as a judge for entertainment programs, and constantly became active in the public eye.

He also cooperated with Bao Lei to shoot the suspense police drama "Ultimate Memory", in which Xiao Rongsheng played the 007-type inspector, playing the advantages of his tough features and showing the image of a dashing and handsome tough guy to the fullest.

Years are flood beasts, and after so many years, Xiao Rong"s tough and handsome image has not changed much, he is well maintained, it is difficult to see his actual age.

In 2014, Xiao Rongsheng participated in the TV series "Qin Shi Mingyue" and played Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng. This TV series is adapted from the historical martial arts animation of the same name, and the Yingzheng he plays is majestic and domineering, as if he came out of the original work, so the audience and the fans of the original are very fond of it, and they have praised and left messages "It is indeed a domineering emperor in capital letters!" ”

In order to maintain his body and better fit the emperor"s awe-inspiring and strong shape, he insisted on fitness. The fur cape on the character modeling shows the domineering spirit of the emperor, and the sharp and deep eyes of the emperor are performed under the crown, and the eyebrows show a sense of strength of perseverance. For the understanding of the role, Xiao Rongsheng himself said: "Domineering, boldness, perseverance, violence, these are the personalities he must have when he destroys the Six Kingdoms and unifies the land of China, which is also the part that I feel most deeply when shaping the role." ”

In 2019, he also participated in the costume martial arts drama "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and starred in "Amnesty 1959" in the same year, playing the role of Du Yuming, when he first received this role, Xiao Rongsheng was actually a little worried.

Because he does not know the thinking and psychology of this real person, in order to fit the historical figure, Xiao Rongsheng consulted a large number of film and television documents to understand du Yuming"s era environment and his psychological state, Xiao Rongsheng, who has been acting for many years, will still take it seriously when facing new challenges, buckle one detail after another, and try his best to do his best.

In the past, the complex and diverse film and television drama genres provided a lot of space for actors to play, and now there are fewer and fewer high-quality scripts, and Xiao Rongsheng, as the memory of the older generation, can only receive a single type of script or the role of his father.

At the peak of his career, he tried his best to protect his family and did not participate in the public opinion storm, and now Xiao Rongsheng, who has weakened the heat of the topic, still lives a low-key life and acts calmly, he separates his career and life very much, does not show his life status, does not talk about his life story.

Rongsheng only uses the superb acting skills of the powerful school to convey his thoughts and cognition to people, and this enigmatic man exudes the unique taste of a mature man, leaving a classic image deeply in people"s memory, which is a clear stream of the entertainment industry.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries Co Ltd has appointed Morgan Stanleyand JP Morganto finalize plans for its long-awaited IPO in Hong Kong, aiming to raise up to $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter, sources told Reuters on Tuesday.

This is Rongsheng’s latest bid to go public after it failed to raise more than $2 billion from a planned IPO in Hong Kong in 2008, mainly as a result of the global financial crisis.

Rongsheng"s early main shareholders included an Asia investment arm of Goldman Sachs, U.S. hedge fund D.E. Shaw and New Horizon, a China fund founded by the son of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.

The three investors sold off their stakes in Rongsheng for a profit early this year, said the sources familiar with the situation. Representatives for the banks, funds and Rongsheng all declined to comment.

Rongsheng’s revived IPO plan comes at a challenging time. Smaller domestic rival, New Century Shipbuilding, slashed its Singapore IPO in half last week, planning to raise up to $560 million from the originally planned $1.24 billion due to weak market conditions.

Given uncertainty in the global shipbuilding business environment as well as growing concerns over a huge flow of fund-raising events in Hong Kong, investment bankers suggest the potential size for Rongsheng could be $1 billion to $1.5 billion, according to the sources.

Rongsheng is seeking to tap capital markets to fund fast growth and aims to catch up with bigger state-owned rivals such as Guangzhou Shipyard International Co Ltd.

Rongsheng won a $484 million deal to build four ships for Oman Shipping Co last year. The vessels would carry exports from an iron ore pellet plant in northern Oman which is expected to begin production in the second half of 2010.
