Ekin Cheng sings in "The Years of Love":
"She is nothing, she once fell in love with the innocent me with courage, leaving no more and no less passages, and replaying the clip."
This song that evokes countless post-80s youth sings the love story of Chen Haonan, the protagonist of "Ancient Puzzle Boy".
In the play, the tragic love story of Chen Haonan and his girlfriend stuttering made countless boys and girls burst into tears.
But few people know that the prototype of the little stutter is a hot star in the Hong Kong film industry in the 90s of the 20th century - Chen Miaoying, the winner of the "Most Beautiful Match" award in the 1993 Hong Kong Sister Competition.
This name may not be remembered at first glance, but when it comes to the classic TV series "Headless East Palace" filmed by TVB in 1996, I believe many people are not unfamiliar.
In this drama, Chen Miaoying plays two roles alone, which has become an insurmountable classic.
At the peak of her career, she suddenly evaporated from the world and withdrew from the entertainment industry.
Not long ago, Chen Miaoying, who had been silent for 20 years, was exposed to wanting to make a comeback, and the news caused heated discussions among netizens.
Over the years, although she has not arrived, her legend has never disappeared from the entertainment industry.
When countless stars are keen to maintain their beauty and want to squeeze a place in the entertainment industry, Chen Miaoying ushered in the highlight of her acting career by relying on "ugly".
"Headless East Palace" is a divine drama that made many post-90s generations have a "childhood shadow", and it was also the most popular fantasy work of TVB at that time.
In the play, the originally beautiful and kind Ling Yun was persecuted by the ugly and treacherous Chu Chu to change his face and miss the favor of the emperor, and Chu Chu entered the palace as a concubine through Ling Yun's beautiful face and enjoyed all the glory.
Later, the stubborn Ling Yun recognized the emperor with Chu Chu's ugly face, but he was still not as favored as the beautiful Chu Chu when he entered the palace as a concubine.
In this drama, the plot of "changing faces" is confusing and extremely attractive.
But what is more attractive is Chen Miaoying's performance in this drama in which one person plays two roles, without a sense of contradiction.
In the first 4 episodes, Chen Miaoying is an ugly and vicious Chu Chu, ugly to the point of hatred.

With a messy chicken nest head, half of her red birthmark face, she always reveals greedy and unwilling eyes, which makes the audience buckle her as a "TVB ugly woman".
After being forced to change her face, she became Ling Yun, who was the opposite of Chu Chu's personality - although her face was ugly, she was kind-hearted.
The gentle and sweet smile, gentle and virtuous personality, and the soft voice like a gentle wind and drizzle, Chen Miaoying's acting skills are just right to hold the role of Ling Yun, who is diametrically opposed to Chu Chu's personality.

This drama has been firmly in the position of TVB's "divine drama" for 20 years.
Chen Miaoying thus reached the peak of her career.
Unlike other Hong Kong stars, her popularity is all based on an "ugly face".
What's even more bizarre is that she did not take advantage of the explosion of "Headless East Palace" to play two roles, but quietly retreated from the circle.
After retiring from the entertainment industry, she began to do business.
She studied hard, kept recharging, and received an honorary doctorate from Armstrong University in California.
She also won the "World Outstanding Chinese Award" for her personal brand.
She once again left a legend in the rivers and lakes, and is already a billionaire in the business sea.
In the years away from the entertainment industry, she trekked through mountains and rivers without stopping.
In the years of struggle, it is worth every inch of time.
Chen Miaoying used her actions to tell the world: the road is self-made, and the opportunity is created by oneself.
As everyone knows, this seems to be a good road of acting, and she has also walked very hard.
In 1972, Chen Miaoying was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong. Because of her poor family's situation, she was forced to drop out of school and break into society when she was a teenager.
She is plain-looking, with single eyelids, thick lips, and a round face, and has never been praised for her beauty, but she is very intelligent and hardworking.
In the 90s of the 20th century, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was full of stars, and her unassuming Chen Miaoying had a dream of stardom since she was a child.
In 1993, 21-year-old Chan Miao Ying participated in the Miss Hong Kong election.
The beauties on the stage are beautiful one by one, and Chen Miaoying's appearance is not outstanding.
But she managed to enter the top five with her almost perfect figure, down-to-earth and generous temperament and extraordinary expressiveness.
Because many people are quite critical of Chen Miaoying's appearance, she did not win the top three in that competition, and only won the "Most Beautiful Matchmaker" award.
This result set off everyone's group ridicule of Chen Miaoying, and the scolding of the "ugliest" Hong Kong sister came to her.
But Chen Miaoying left the ridicule and scolding of others behind her, resolutely signed a contract with Hong Kong TVB, and began her growth in the entertainment industry.
Napoleon once said that difficulties must be overcome by oneself, and obstacles must be broken by oneself.
22-year-old Chen Miaoying began to break into the entertainment industry alone.
But for the next two years, she always hovered at the trough of her career and could not get out for a long time.
In the year of signing, she made a cameo appearance in a small role in "The Song Family in Dinner", and almost received no attention.

Poor resources, unrecognized image, hard work for two years, small cameo roles can not stir up any splash in the hearts of the audience.
She was unwilling, let alone reluctant.
She understands that only superb acting skills can make up for the lack of appearance.
Speculating about the inner world of the character, she took the trouble to consult other actors; Non-academic background, she took the script and kept flipping through it until she crumpled the script in her hand into a "rotten pickle".
Soon Chen Miaoying won a lot of fans with the role of the white bone essence of "Journey to the West".

In the play, Chen Miaoying interprets the sinister and cunning on the one hand, and the humble and crazy love on the other.
She won the title of "The Most Beautiful Bone Essence" for her performance in three points.
There are fewer and fewer people who complain about Chen Miaoying's appearance, and more and more viewers are praising the character image she has created. Chen Miaoying's acting career has become smooth under her own efforts.
In "Washing Injustices", she is the heroic female catcher Nie Feng; In "Full of Gold and Jade", she is Xin Xiaoxiao, the "hot girl" of Outer Soft and Inner Gang...

She has become the head of TVB and a special existence.
Chen Miaoying does not deliberately cater to the public's aesthetics, nor does she have peerless beauty, but she has created a number of classic characters and has become the white moonlight in the hearts of tens of millions of people.
Every mountain to open the road, when the water to build bridges, she relies on the toughness of spring grass to cut through thorns and thorns, and grows savagely.
When she was young, Chen Miaoying had an unforgettable love.
Not only that, she is also the prototype of Chen Haonan's girlfriend "Little Stutter" in the classic movie "Ancient Puzzle Boy".
Boyfriend Chen Yaoxing, known as the "Tiger of Wan Chai", calls for wind and rain.
Chen Miaoying, who is extremely popular, cheerful and dashing and very optimistic, is deeply liked by Chen Yaoxing, but a "slap" not long after instantly broke her life.
One day in 1992, Huang Langwei was singing in a nightclub and overheard that a popular actress was also next door.
Huang Langwei praised that he wanted to invite the actress next door to sing in the private room, and seeing that the other party did not obey, he raised his arm and slapped her, forcibly leaving her.
It wasn't until someone came forward that the frightened female star was rescued.
The matter should have calmed down at this point, but Chen Miaoying's boyfriend Chen Yaoxing knew about it, and "killed" it again, and has since formed a bond with the other party.
So, in the days of dating Chen Yaoxing, Chen Miaoying accompanied her boyfriend through countless sorrows, joys and hatreds.
But she never imagined that her boyfriend would suddenly leave her.
One day in 1993, Chan Yiu-hing went to Macau to race and died unexpectedly after drinking. Chen Miaoying was devastated when she received the news.
The unexpected death of her boyfriend broke Chen Miaoying's heart, and she also slipped from the position of "sister-in-law" respected by everyone and became a "widow".
Even though your loved one is gone, life goes on.
The year after his boyfriend's death, Chan Yaoxing's friend filmed his story into the movie "Drunken Dream of Death in Wan Chai Tiger".
In this movie, Chen Miaoying starred in the heroine of the play, Ah Miao, the girlfriend of the tiger of Wan Chai.

We don't know what kind of mood Chen Miaoying is in interpreting the story of her and her lover.
We only know that on the occasion of her boyfriend's death for a year, Chen Miaoying missed the man who once gave her warmth and love in a unique way, drawing a successful end to their love.
Smoke has passed through the guest building through the ages, and the end of the world has left people's worries.
From "sister-in-law" to "widow", Chen Miaoying cherishes the haven that fate once gave her, and indifferently accepts the hurricane mouth that God threw to her.
Chen Miaoying knows that the world is impermanent, and life cannot escape the light, calm, calm, and forward.
Today's Chen Miaoying is 50 years old.
At the age of 49, Chen Miaoying, who was childless and childless, rarely appeared at a Hong Kong sister party, she was elegant and calm, gentle as jade, and her smile made people feel like a spring breeze.
Half a life of ups and downs, half a life of ups and downs, Chen Miaoying finally got rid of the infamy of the "ugliest" Hong Kong sister.
Someone commented on Chen Miaoying: "Although she is not beautiful enough, she lives freely." ”
Follow your heart, live soberly, grow strong, and the best love for yourself is to grow slowly in the bumpy years.
Just like Chen Miaoying, sober and rational, bold and sincere.
