鷺紅（1928–2015），原名曾谷蘭，福建廈門人，在廈門出生及長大，胞姊鷺芬亦是廈語及國語片演員。她自幼喜愛演藝，中學時已隨學校劇團演出，抗戰期間更踏足戲院舞台，早年即在廈門成名，獲觀眾冠以「福建小姐」之譽。1947年，菲律賓僑商伍鴻卜、戴佑敏在香港組成新光電影公司，公開招聘懂廈語的女演員，她脫穎而出，由廈門來港拍攝廈語片《相逢恨晚》（1948），影片在台灣首映時大受歡迎；同年她再演另一部廈語片《破鏡重圓》（1948），後者是首部在港公開上映的廈語片。其後她定居香港，拍了首部國語片《一代梟雄》（1948），因而獲永華影業公司賞識，聘為基本演員，先後演出了《愛的俘虜》（1951）、《一刻春宵》（1952）、《狗兇手》（1952）及《夫婦之間》（1953）等國語片。約滿永華後，她只接拍少量國語片，如邵氏父子的《亂世妖姬》（1956）、中國聯合與藝聯合作的《鵑血忠魂》（1957），其餘多為廈語片，包括《孟麗君》（1955）、《西廂記》（1956）、《鵲橋會》（1956）、《花魁女情鍾賣油郎》（1956），以及與姊姊鷺芬合演的《紅樓夢》（1956）等十多部。她亦曾赴台灣參演《情報販子》（1959）。1947至1960年代初，香港共生產逾二百部以廈語拍攝、主要發行到東南亞和台灣而甚少在港公映的影片，鷺紅是這批影人中最早走紅的女演員之一。她留港拍片期間正值廈語片在港生產的黃金期，作品除在香港上映，亦發行至星馬、台灣等閩南社群聚居的地方。1958年她結婚並退出影壇，2015年在香港病逝。

Lou Hung (1928–2015), born Zeng Gulan, was a native of Xiamen, Fujian, where she grew up, and the sister of the actress Lou Fen. Passionate about performing from childhood, she acted with a school troupe and, during the War of Resistance against Japan, on theatre stages, becoming famous early in Xiamen under the nickname 'Miss Fujian'. In 1947 two overseas Chinese entrepreneurs from the Philippines, Esteban Ngo and Dai Youmin, set up the Hsin Kuang Film Company in Hong Kong and held open casting for actresses who could speak the Amoy dialect; Lou was chosen and came from Xiamen to film A Belated Encounter (1948), which proved a hit when it premiered in Taiwan. The Air is Cleared (1948) followed and became the first Amoy-dialect film released publicly in Hong Kong. She settled in Hong Kong and made her first Mandarin film, Hero of Our Time (1948), which brought her to the attention of Yung Hwa Motion Picture Industries; hired as a regular player, she appeared in Prisoner of Love (1951), A Moment of Bliss and Dog Murderer (both 1952) and Wife and Husband (1953), among many others. After her contract ended she took only a few Mandarin roles, such as Siren (1956) for Shaw & Sons and The Blood of Patriotic Souls (1957), and otherwise starred in over a dozen Amoy-dialect films, including Meng Lijun (1955), Romance of Western Chamber, Meeting on the Magpies Bridge and The Champion Beauty Falls for the Oil Vendor (all 1956), and, with her sister Lou Fen, Dream of the Red Mansion (1956). She also starred in Intelligence Trader (1959) in Taiwan. Between the late 1940s and the early 1960s Hong Kong produced more than two hundred films in the Amoy dialect, distributed mainly to Southeast Asia and Taiwan but seldom screened locally, and Lou was among the first of that group to become a star. She married in 1958 and retired, and died in Hong Kong in 2015.
