Silkroad beauty.シルクロード現代の楊貴妃

シルクロードの西域シンチャンといわれたところから、始皇帝が愛した楊貴妃はやってきたという。色白。エキゾチックな顔立ち。漢人とは少し違う。桜に楊貴妃という桜があるが、美しさは形や色香り。人の心をときほぐす。父は、趣味で絵をかくのが好き。花の絵。一番美しく開花した瞬間がいいそうだ。ストックホルムの部屋の壁に飾っているが、開花した美しい瞬間のパワーが伝わってくる。美しいものとおいしいものが好きな両親の遺伝子だけはどうやら、しっかりと姉妹に受け継がれたようだ。お犬様への異常な憧れは、後天的なものかもしれない。心がときめく感覚を通り過ぎる犬をうっとりと振り返るわたし。ストックホルムの街を歩きながら、乙女のように胸がどきどきと高鳴るのは、ブルドッグの後ろ足をみたり、素敵な犬が通り過ぎる瞬間。美しいものは、美しい。シルクロードの人たちの心にも、日本人と同じく桜の花への憧憬があるという。

カザフスタンの女性たち。ある日ストックホルムの電車で、見知らぬ男性が反対側の座席から語りかけてきた。知らない言葉。東洋系の顔のカザフスタンらしい彼の指会話。”もしかしたら、カザフスタンから?”というといかけに、一瞬おどろいて、(あのアメリカの映画を思い出して)むっとしたが、今は心からありがとう!といいたい。





シルクロードプリンセスの友人でもあり、中央アジアの映画歴史上でも有名な女優。美しい女性は年を重ねても美しい。現在東欧のチェコスロバキアのプラハに在住。キリギスタンの映画史で有名な美しい女優である。

女優 Aiturgan Temirova

中央アジアに関する情報はなかなか伝わってこない。ロシア語ができるひとは、公用語ロシア語での情報が多くはいる。シルクロードプリンセスと友達にならなかったら、知る由もない。時々電話がかかってくるのよ。という。プラハわたしの憧れ。プラハのビールは、おいしい。美しい街。昔の知り合い夫婦がチェコ人ドクターだった。食事に招かれたときに、格式あるテーブルセッテイングおいしいお料理。

女優アイトウールガンは、中国楊貴妃のでたウイグルから、中央アジアへ国境を越え子供のころキリギスに移り住んだ。中国系キリギス人であるが、国籍はキリギス。シルクロードプリンセスいわく、子供のころ彼女はスクリーンの憧れの人だったという。みな心をときめかしたものよ。。楊貴妃という名前が浮かんだ。

東洋の美女は美しい。東洋の美女も美しい。生まれつき美しい人。内側からオーラが。マリリンモンローのように、美しく顔を整形して変わってしまった女性もいないわけではない。

Attached article is the story about her .

The Bukharan Princess in Brno by Janyl Jusubjan

It is true that Vladimir Moravek gave bad name to Brno through his award winning comedy "Nuda v Brne" (Boredom in Brno). But Mrs. Aiturgan Temirova slowly but surely working to prove that it is not so boring in the second largest city of Czech Republic, althought it is not easy for the wildly recognized personality in her native Central Asia, and just one of many foreigners in East Europe.


Almost two decades after gaining independence, Central Asia still remains one of the most remote and unknown places in the world, and only a small portion of its population has moved to the West. Some of these emigrants, widely known and admired at home, are struggling to find recognition in their new environment. In the group is Mrs. Temirova, one of the most colorful actresses of Kyrgyz and Soviet cinematography who calls now Czech Republic home.
She was born in what is now China's Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region (1). She was 8 years old when her family moved abruptly from Kulja (2) to Kyrgyzstan. “I remember as if it were happening now. We left in the early hours and left the lights on so that the neighbors would think that we were at home. We traveled at night in an empty bus through the mountain pass on the Kazakh-Chinese border,” she recalls her first encounter with the Soviet Union.



It is one of the gray but warm autumn days in Prague. We sit sipping coffee in a cozy cellar restaurant near the Wenceslas square. “We at last reached Frunze (the captial of Kyrgyzstan, now renamed Bishkek) after many hours of travel. We came to a gray building (which, as I later found out, was the building of the powerfull KGB's local branch) I and my mother sat on the stairs until my father came out. We were taken to a detached house on the outskirts of the town. We then arrived in our new home and some people brought us tables, chairs, TV sets and so on. We left China so quickly that we hardly had any belongings at all”.

Her father studied in Beijing and joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Special Forces made up by locals such as the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz (3). They fought the basmachis (4). In the early 1960s the repressions in China were getting tougher. "My father's several friends were arrested. One day his Chinese friend warned him that his documents had also been taken away. At that point my father decided to contact the Soviet Consulate in Kulja. It arranged our secret departure from the country”.

Many years later in Turkey, she would come into more knowledge of her father’s not so well-known past. Aiturgan and her now ex-husband Bolot Shamshiev were invited to a film festival in Istanbul. This was a rare occasion as Turkey was shunned by Moscow not only for ideological reasons, but also for the country’s historical and ethnical connections with the people of Central Asia. One evening, they were invited to a house by a local Kyrgyz family. When they returned to the hotel, her husband showed her a small book he had been given at the gathering and laughed: “Look at this picture in the corner of the cover page. That’s Osmon-pasha (5). Your father killed him in the Taklamakhan desert in China. Our hosts are his descendants. If they only knew whom they were hosting!”


Aiturgan's father left Kyrgyzstan in the early 1920s, in the aftermath of the advance of the Red Army in Central Asia. Although the son of a humble tribesman, in Western China he married the daughter of a local khan (ruler) who was executed by the Chinese communist regime for belonging to “an exploiting bourgeois class”. The khan was a Bukharan Jew whose wife was of Dungan (6) origin. Technically speaking, if not the upheavals of the 20th Century which changed the region for ever, Mrs. Temirova could have been a princess of her own right. But her powerfull grandfather was "eliminated" and his wive fled to the Soviet Union leaving behind her daughter who would eventually marry Aiturgan's father at age of 15.

Upon return from China, her father had conspicuously given up his Communist membership. “I don’t know why he did it. It is amazing that he survived it,” wonders the actress. It was the mid-1960s; it was not Stalinism any more, yet, the enthusiasm brought by Khruschev’s thaw was dying away. He was ordered not to leave Frunze and was employed as an ordinary worker in a local plant till he retired.

When she came to the land of her father, Aiturgan spoke only Mandarin. In Frunze, numerous Russian schools refused to accept her, because she did not know Russian. She then enrolled in a boarding school for the children of shepherds and orphans. At that time, her school was one of only two secondary education institutions in the capital of the Soviet Socialist Kyrgyz Republic where the language of instruction was Kyrgyz.
Aiturgan also married young. “I was 15 when my future husband kidnapped me”. But she is quick to add, “Of course with my own consent.”

“Weren’t your parents against it?”

“They were! They even wanted to sue him,” she laughs.

They didn’t after all. Her husband became one of the most important figures in the history of the Soviet and Kyrgyz cinema and she starred in many of his films.

In "Ak keme", based on a novel of the same title by Chyngyz Aitmatov, she plays the role of a village girl beautifully singing a Bollywood song. At that time Bollywood films were immensely popular. Hardly anyone thought she had performed the song herself.

“Yes, of course I sang it!” Aiturgan exclaimed over pizza in an Italian restaurant on Vodickova Street. “In Tashkent during the Film festival I heard that Shashi Kapoor wished to see me. I thought he would scold me for singing so badly, but instead he hugged me and said he that he loved my singing!”



It was during the shooting of another famous film in which she fell in love with her future husband. “Once the National Film Company people came to my boarding school looking for candidates for a role in a film about drug traffickers. My teachers told them “there is one girl here, she sings and dances and is quite cute”. “I used to perform in all the school concerts and performances.” But then Bolot saw me he said to his aids, “Her skin is so dark and she does not speak Russian at all!” At that time all Kyrgyz films were made in Russian and then dubbed into Kyrgyz.

Although her husband was her mentor he also was an obstacle in her career as an actress. “He was quite jealous,” she remembers without bitterness. “Once Emil Lotianu, the famed Soviet film maker came to Frunze to talk to Bolot. He wanted me to play a Gypsy woman in his new film "Tabor uhodit v nebo" on Gypsies, which later became a huge success. Bolot did not agree. ‘She does not look Gypsy at all,’ he said. But Emil insisted ‘She is wonderful, I will get eye lenses for her to change the color of her eyes!’ But even after he left empty- handed, Shamshiev insisted that Aiturgan give an official refusal to cinematography officials. “I wrote to them that I didn’t want to play in that film, I was pregnant anyway...”



Although she accepts her former husband’s role in her career, she believes that it was not all his making. “I received the Best Debut prize at the all-Soviet film festival. My opponents were talented Kazakh and Uzbek actresses. The chairman of the jury Sergei Bondarchuk (7) told me “Welcome to the Movie!” It is easy to come to cinematography, but difficult to stay!” She stayed longtime, starring in more than 40 films, and playing the main role in 15 of them.

Aiturgan Temirova and Bolot Shamshiev finally divorced after 25 years of creative collaboration and two children. Her son Chyngyz is a professor of Economics at the Gibraltar University, while her daughter is happily married with two children. “Can you imagine, I am already a grandmother?!” I remember her exclaiming when I met her for the first time in person at Hlavni Nadrazi (Main Railway station) in Prague. She indeed was slim and looked so good, that I would not believe she will be 50 this year, if I did not know her for decades since my childhood.

Aiturgan Temirova has now been in Central Europe for almost a decade. She is married to a Czech geologist who works also in Kyrgyzstan. “My former husband was a boss, my present husband, whom I love, is my partner who supports my career” she said in an interview to the Russian Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.



She is not actively involved in the local artistic scene, but has come back to her childhood dream: singing, and recently released her first CD called “Aruuzat” ( “Pure Being” in Kyrgyz). She says that the songs by Kyrgyz poets and composers were inspired by her grandmother’s “shamanic healing rituals”. She is now looking forward to a trip to Tibet, where she will star in a feature film by Czech director Milan Cieslar, best known for his film “Dusa jako kaviar” (Dirty Souls).

Айтурган Темирова снимается у режиссера, получившего «Оскар»

Даже живя в Чехии, актриса не забывает о корнях.

Известная актриса раскрыла «Комсомолке» некоторые свои секреты

Известность ей принесла первая роль в фильме Болота Шамшиева «Алые маки Иссык-Куля», снятого в 1972 году. После этого были другие роли, не менее интересные и запоминающиеся в таких фильмах, как «Белый пароход», «Среди людей», «Волчья яма» и других. Много случилось в ее жизни событий – приятных и грустных, счастливых и не очень. Но в одном Айтурган твердо уверена – ей повезло и она счастливый человек. Вот уже несколько лет актриса живет в Чехии. Зимой она записала диск «Аруузат» с песнями и в Бишкек приехала с желанием провести свой бенефис и презентацию диска.
