Rejected the marriage proposal of the Ferrari president and fell from a 30-meter flyover and was almost paralyzed, what happened to Michelle Yeoh?

"I hope all women, don't listen to anyone who says, you have passed your peak moment, never give up!" Michelle Yeoh, 60, said this in her Oscar acceptance speech.

On March 13, Michelle Yeoh won the 95th Academy Awards for Best Actress for "Instantaneous Universe", and she is also the first Chinese actress in Oscar history.

Michelle Yeoh encourages women to never be defined by others, and she herself has always been an undefined woman.

1. Dancers - martial arts actors

Michelle Yeoh was born wealthy and came from a wealthy family. Since she was four years old, Michelle Yeoh's parents have trained her to learn Qinqi calligraphy and painting, and Michelle Yeoh's favorite thing when she was a child was dance. At one time, her dream was to become a dancer and open a dance academy. For her dance dream, Michelle Yeoh did her best to sweat in the practice room.

But as expected, an accident injured her spine, and the doctor told Michelle Yeoh that she would never be able to dance again. The dance dream was shattered and left Michelle Yeoh depressed for a while, but soon, she regained her vitality. Young dreams are hard to give up, and Michelle Yeoh was born destined to shine on the stage that belongs to her.

At the age of 21, Michelle Yeoh was elected Miss Malaysia and stepped into the door of the entertainment industry. Soon after, Michelle Yeoh came to Hong Kong to learn Cantonese and Mandarin, and filmed her first film, Owl and Dumbo, officially becoming an actress.

Michelle Yeoh in the film plays a teacher from high society, weak and does not eat human fireworks, and is scolded and crying by students. And Michelle Yeoh, who is outside the film, is stalker and unremitting efforts to enter the Hong family class, beating sandbags every day, determined to become a martial arts actress. Six months later, she starred in "Royal Senior Sister" as she wished, playing a well-armed female policeman.

Michelle Yeoh's wonderful performance made Sammo Hung, who was not optimistic about her, impressed her and tailored a "Royal Warrior" for her. Michelle Yeoh still lived up to expectations, and her excellent performance was recognized by the audience, and for a while, the "Kung Fu Actress" Michelle Yeoh became famous.

She breaks the stereotype that women are weak.

Michelle Yeoh's dedication is famous, she insists on not using a stand-in, and any dangerous action does not hesitate to go on herself, this lifeless spirit makes her every scene extremely exciting, making the audience's blood boil, but at the same time, it also makes her suffer a lot.

When filming "Akin's Story", when Michelle Yeoh went home to take a bath, she would find that she either had a swollen arm or an injured leg. The most serious is a scene where Michelle Yeoh jumped from a 30-meter flyover, the protection measure at that time was a thin cardboard box under a very thin mat, and after Michelle Yeoh fell, she fell right between the two mats, she found that her neck could not move, and her legs were folded forward. For a moment, she thought, this time, she was dead.

That accident almost paralyzed Michelle Yeoh, and during her recuperation in the hospital, she also thought about whether to give up her career as an actor. It happened that Quentin, the director of "Pulp Fiction", visited her at that time and expressed his appreciation and praise for Michelle Yeoh. Michelle Yeoh thought, "Maybe now is not the time to give up. ”

After recovering physically, Michelle Yeoh continued her path of "martial arts actress", and after "007: Tomorrow's Empire", she officially entered Hollywood. In the film, Michelle Yeoh plays a Chinese female agent who fights side by side with intelligence officer 007 Bond, breaking through the image of the "Bond girl" who is always waiting to be rescued in the series.

In 2000, Michelle Yeoh co-starred with Chow Yun-fat in the martial arts movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, Michelle Yeoh's Yu Xiulian is flesh and blood, tough on the outside, but very soft on the inside.

She is a martial arts practitioner and a career in the rivers and lakes, but her heart is often influenced by the code of ethics, and she longs for family very much, she loves Li Mubai played by Chow Yun-fat, hopes to live and fly with him, and is willing to give up all her careers.

And Michelle Yeoh in real life is an out-and-out "career control".

Second, career first, love as companionship

In 1988, Michelle Yeoh married her lover Pan Disheng, who had been in love for four years, and after marriage, Pan Disheng hoped that she would return to the family, husband and godson, and Michelle Yeoh did work as a wealthy wife at home for three years.

In the eyes of many people, the rich are too relaxed, shopping, beauty, and buying bags every day. But what Michelle Yeoh wanted was never such a life. And the man who had sworn a mountain alliance with her also empathized and fell in love with Michelle Yeoh's then best friend Yu Guizhu. The three-year marriage came to an end.

"Women should stay home and cook with their children." There is no shortage of men around the world who have this kind of thinking, and Michelle Yeoh has overturned this terrible and ignorant idea with her own strength.

Michelle Yeoh returned to the entertainment industry and made a career. With the role of Yu Xiulian in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Michelle Yeoh became the first Chinese woman to be nominated for the British Academy Film Awards Performance Award, and was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. It was also officially because of this movie that Michelle Yeoh's status in Hollywood was recognized.

The beautiful and generous Michelle Yeoh is surrounded by many excellent men, but Michelle Yeoh just doesn't call and concentrates on her career. Until 1999, Michelle Yeoh met the famous heart doctor Allen, and the two fell in love and soon got engaged. But Allen, like Pan Disheng, hopes that Michelle Yeoh can return to the family after marriage, and Michelle Yeoh knows Allen's idea, immediately sobers up, and quickly dissolves the marriage contract.

In 2004, Michelle Yeoh met a romantic French man, Ferrari President Jean Todd, although he was not good-looking or even a little fat, his romantic humor and maturity made Michelle Yeoh defeat and start a relationship with him.

The two have been in love so far, there is no news of marriage, and there is no news of a breakup, some people speculate whether this French man does not want to share property with Michelle Yeoh, so he does not get married, but the real situation is that Jean Todd asked for marriage more than a dozen times, and Michelle Yeoh did not agree.

Perhaps because she lost interest in marriage itself and did not want to be bound, or perhaps because she enjoyed the simple freedom of love, Michelle Yeoh did not get married and did not have children, but chose to put her career first.

She never looks for value in men, does not expect what men will bring her, but creates value herself, love is not the whole of her life, but a spice outside her career.

III. Summary

In the forty years of entering the entertainment industry, Michelle Yeoh has constantly broken through herself, from the vase role that is not remembered and valued, to the unforgettable martial arts actress, and now the first Oscar Chinese actress, Michelle Yeoh's success is not an accident, but her forty years of continuous breakthrough and reinvention of herself.

Since Michelle Yeoh was still an unpromising yellow-skinned actress, she has been proving herself with strength and letting everyone see her. Because from then on, she hoped that one day she would stand high enough to say to people like her, never be defined, never give up.

Now, she does.
