Zhang Aijia, born in 1953, is a well-known singer, actor, screenwriter and director, and after the famous film "The Favourite" won the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards, she is also the film worker who has been shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Film Awards the most times, and she still works tirelessly.
Zhang Aijia is currently living in Hong Kong, her husband is Wang Jingxiong, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, and the two have a son, Wang Lingchen. As a young woman, she was free and uninhibited, talked about several sensational relationships, and had never married a child, and even experienced the heartbreak of her son's kidnapping, however, after experiencing strong winds and waves, she suddenly understood that quietness turned out to be the most important force.
Her film "Nian Nian" landed on the mainland big screen in 2015, and after 23 years, Zhang Aijia sang "The Price of Love" as a promotional song for the film. From singers, actors to directors, Zhang Aijia, who is 69 years old this year, is still doing a job that the young and powerful feel is difficult.
Zhang Aijia admitted that a few years ago, she suddenly became very anxious. "I felt that I was getting older and older, but I didn't finish what I had to do, and then I found that it was useless to be anxious, not anxious, but found that things came to you the same way." 」
Zhang Aijia began to contact meditation. The first time she meditated, her disciple Li Xinjie took her to a cave in Malaysia. She imitated Li Xinjie to complete the ritual before the meditation, and her mood was particularly calm, sitting quietly for 40 minutes, not stuffy at all. As a result, Zhang Aijia understood that she needed this comfortable feeling, and it became a habit of life ever since.
"Meditate quietly, you have the opportunity to throw away the garbage, throw away the old thoughts, and have more space to absorb new things and new ideas," she says. At some point, you'll want to go inside and don't care too much about the outside world."
Over the past few years, Zhang Aijia has maintained the habit of meditating twice a day, waking up at about 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning, then sitting quietly for 2 or 30 minutes, getting up after the end of the day, sleeping until 7 or 8 o'clock if she is tired; sitting quietly at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, because sitting in the evening seems to help her cheer up, until 8, 9 o'clock or even 10 o'clock at night, she can also have a great working time.
"What were you thinking when you were meditating?" I couldn't help but ask, but I didn't expect Zhang Aijia to laugh: "Very messy!" But at a fixed time she would still sit down, just practice sitting, count the breaths quietly, let the thoughts come, let the thoughts go, do not require the brain to concentrate on thinking about something, but learn the tricks of Transcendental Meditation, and keep quieting herself by repeating a sound.
The outside world was also curious about Zhang Aijia's young and enthusiastic secret, but he did not expect that it was still a meditation.
She said: Be quiet. If you really calm down and let go of your stubbornness, you will suddenly find that things are solved quickly, and all that is stuck over there is stuck in your attachment, but when you put it down, you will find, wow! It turned out that something was next door, or another piece of the sky was bigger.
She laughed and said that when she saw the young girl coming, she still felt invincible, but then she found that the important thing was that the heart could not grow old, and that sitting still gave her the opportunity to throw away the garbage in her heart and have a lot of space to absorb new ideas, rather than blindly thinking that she already knew everything and limiting herself to death.
The habit of meditation allows Zhang Aijia to regain stability in the chaos, understand that she is not the master of life, but let go of attachment and accept various possibilities, and naturally usher in a more complete life.
