繁體中文

梅綺(1923–1966),原名江端儀,廣東南海人,在北京出生。她出身名門,祖父江孔殷是廣東太史,叔父江譽鏐即粵劇編劇南海十三郎。六歲時,她以江麗麗為藝名,客串演出長城畫片公司的《聰明笨伯》(1929),自此與電影結緣。1937年她來港,加入南洋影片公司,首作為叔父南海十三郎編導的《百戰餘生》(1937)。之後她轉投大觀聲片有限公司,憑《小老虎》(1941)、《夜上海》(1941)、《學宮春色》(1941)等片奠定演員地位。香港淪陷期間,她與多位影人逃難至廣州灣,再轉桂林,沿途靠登台演出維生。戰後她回港重投影壇,戲路多變,正派反派皆能勝任。1952年,她與吳楚帆、白燕等影人合組中聯電影企業有限公司,參演創業作《家》(1953),以及《危樓春曉》(1953)、《金蘭姊妹》(1954)、《孤星血淚》(1955)等。她亦為其他公司演出《日出》(1953)、《自梳女》(1954)、《金山大少》(1959)、《豪門夜宴》(1959)。她從影二十餘年,主演影片七十餘部;1956年出版《戲劇的人生》,記述從影經歷與演出心得。中聯以「嚴肅製作、劇本為本」為號召,梅綺在其中的演出多屬寫實正劇,與她早年片中的浪漫角色形成對比,顯出戲路之廣。她早年皈信基督教,1960年確診舌癌,1960年代初退出影壇,專心傳教,曾赴南洋等地傳道。1966年8月17日,她因舌癌逝世。她一生由童星、正劇名伶走到傳道人,際遇在同期影星中頗為傳奇。

Mui Yee (1923–1966), born Kong Tuen-yee in Beijing to a Nanhai family, was a Hong Kong actress. Her grandfather Kong Hung-yan was a Guangdong scholar-official and her uncle Kong Yu-lau was the Cantonese playwright known as Nam Hoi Sap-sam Long. At six she made a guest appearance in Great Wall Film Company's A Clever Fool (1929) under the stage name Jiang Lili, beginning a lifelong association with the cinema. She came to Hong Kong in 1937 and joined Nanyang Film Company, debuting in War and Survival (1937), written and directed by her uncle. Moving to Grandview Film Company, she established herself with The Little Tiger (1941), Shadow over Shanghai (1941) and Love in the Schoolyard (1941). During the Japanese occupation she fled with other film workers to Guangzhouwan and then Guilin, performing on stage to survive. She returned to Hong Kong after the war with a wide range that let her play both heroines and villains. In 1952 she helped found the Union Film Enterprise with fellow filmmakers, appearing in its first production, Family (1953), as well as In the Face of Demolition (1953), Sworn Sisters (1954) and An Orphan's Tragedy (1955). She also acted in Sunrise (1953), The Bachelor Girl (1954), The Chair (1959) and Feast of a Rich Family (1959). Over more than two decades on screen she starred in more than seventy films, and her memoir A Life of Drama appeared in 1956. A Christian from her early years, she was diagnosed with tongue cancer in 1960 and left the screen in the early 1960s to devote herself to missionary work in Southeast Asia. She died of tongue cancer on 17 August 1966.
