紫羅蓮(1925–2015),原名鄒潔蓮,廣東雲浮人,胞姊鄒潔雲是廣州著名粵劇花旦。她因父親在粵劇團工作而自少在戲班學戲,十三歲時加入粵劇名伶馬師曾領導的太平劇團,在團中任二幫花旦,隨團在粵港兩地演出。一九三八年,她參演南粵影片公司的《第八天堂》(1939),踏足影壇;一九四一年,她得導演洪仲豪邀請,與白駒榮及黃曼梨合演《醋淹藍橋》,漸受注目,其後又拍了《冰山火線》(1941)及《癡兒女》(上、下集,1943)。戰後她首部主演的電影為《含笑飲砒霜》(1947)。一九五二年,她與吳楚帆、張瑛、白燕等一群同業合組中聯電影企業有限公司,以拍攝反映社會現實的優質粵語片為職志,公司先後製作《危樓春曉》、《父母心》等寫實之作,她亦參演其中的《危樓春曉》(1953)。她為中聯主演的影片還有《家》(1953)、《金蘭姊妹》(1954)、《兒女債》(1955)及《寶蓮燈》(1956)等。一九五零年代,她活躍於粵語片壇,先後主演逾百部電影,作品包括《夢斷殘宵》、《牆》、《朱門怨》、《斷鴻零雁記》等。一九五四年,她自組紫羅蓮影片公司,自編、自導、自演《馬來亞之戀》,是早期粵語片少數兼任導演的女星。她亦演出《呆佬拜壽》(1956)、《黛綠年華》(1957)等,最後一部作品為《恨海情天》(1964)。她為虔誠基督徒,息影後以教會義工身分照顧年邁同業,不少粵語片前輩晚年都受過她的照拂。二零一五年,她在香港離世,享年約九十歲。

English

Tsi Lo-lin (1925–2015), born Chau Kit-lin in Yunfu, Guangdong, learned opera as a child because her father worked in a Cantonese opera troupe; her elder sister Chau Kit-wan was a leading Cantonese opera actress in Guangzhou, and at thirteen she joined the Tai Ping troupe led by the celebrated Ma Si-tsang, touring between Guangdong and Hong Kong. She entered films in 1938 in South China Film Company's The Eighth Heaven and came to prominence with her 1941 lead in a Cantonese tragedy. In 1952 she joined Ng Cho-fan, Cheung Ying and Pak Yin in founding Union Film Enterprise, a collective dedicated to socially conscious, higher-quality Cantonese pictures; the company produced realist works such as In the Face of Demolition (1953), in which she also appeared. Active through the 1950s, she starred in more than a hundred films, among them several Cantonese dramas. In 1954 she set up her own Tsi Lo-lin Film Company and wrote, directed and starred in Love in Malaya, one of the few women to direct in early Cantonese cinema. Her films also include The Foolish Bridegroom (1956) and Emerald Green Years (1957), with her final screen appearance coming in 1964. Recommended early on by the director Hung Chung-ho, she worked with figures such as Pak Ku-wing. A devout Christian, she volunteered in her church after retiring and cared for ageing colleagues in the industry, and died in Hong Kong in 2015, aged about ninety.
