"She is like Huang Rong who jumped out of the book, not only god-like, but also outstanding acting skills."
"She's just a little elf, smart, quick to respond, and highly perceptive."
The creators of the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" described her in this way.
In this way, how beautiful she should be, but only to describe her as beautiful, but it seems too thin.
Her beauty is thornless, more like a daisy, small but still fragrant.
She has amazed the youth of many people, and has become the regret of many people.
"How lonely the world is without your presence."
"The east wind of the sun cries birds, and the falling flowers are like fallen people."
She is Weng Meiling, Weng Meiling who has come to this world and left in a hurry.
Weng Meiling as a child
Weng Meiling was born in Hong Kong on May 7, 1959.
Her mother was not her father's original match, and she lived as an illegitimate daughter from an early age.
She still lives with her father, and her parents love her even more, no different from the pearl in the palm of other families.
But all this came to naught when she was seven years old.
In this year, Weng Meiling's father died. And her mother is nameless and has no points, so naturally she can't share a little inheritance from her husband's family.
Fortunately, Weng Mu also has a brother named Chen Jing. In this way, the mother and daughter were able to have a safe place.
On the day of Weng Meiling's father's death, Chen Jing burst into tears: "You rest in peace, I will do everything I can to help, and I will definitely let her go to college and let her get ahead..."
After saying that, Father Weng finally closed his eyes.
If he could, he would have wanted to spend more time with little Aweng to grow up, but in the end it backfired.
Fortunately, Chen Jing completed a father's mission instead of him.
When Weng Meiling was thirteen years old, her mother remarried Liao Jintang and went to England with her husband to earn a living.
Because of the immigration procedures, Weng Meiling was not able to go with her mother at the first time, so she stayed in Hong Kong and lived with her uncle Chen Jing.
Chen Jing loves her very much and regards Weng Meiling as his daughter.
He was born in oil painting and has a good foundation in fine arts, so what he does most often is to use a paintbrush to record the growth of little Awon.
Her uncle's painting talent attracted Weng Meiling, and she pestered her uncle to let him teach himself to paint, and Chen Jing had no choice but to lose to this little guy.
In her world, she has one more way of telling.
Chen Jing knew that although she was small, many things had long been understood.
She pins her emotions on the pen in her hand, and in one work after another, it is obvious that such a childish handwriting is painful to watch.
Chen Jing also stared at her works countless times and was stunned.
"This child..." he sighed.
Having lived with his uncle for a long time, Little Awon's relationship with him has gotten better and better.
"When I was young, I often spoiled my uncle and asked him to feed him before he would eat. Later, when he had a girlfriend, I was not happy in my heart, probably because I was afraid that he would be robbed by others. Asked about the story with her uncle, Weng Meiling said with a smile.
For Chen Jing, he was both happy and worried.
He was glad that he had fulfilled his promise to His father, but he was worried that Awon would not be too dependent on him.
Weng Meiling could see her uncle's thoughts.
Gradually, she became independent, as if she had suddenly grown up.
Chen Jing knew that she had already regarded herself as another father.
But there are always things that we have to learn.

In 1974, Weng Meiling received a notice from her mother that the formalities had been completed and that she could come to England.
She had a lot to say to her uncle, but when it came to the day of parting, she couldn't say anything.
Chen Jing just smiled, "He has also grown so big, and he will become more and more sensible in the future." ”
Weng Meiling couldn't hold back tears, and she hugged the person in front of her who was already like her relatives.
Chen Jing patted her lightly and did not make a sound.
"Remember to take the portrait I gave you, from small to large, and keep it."
Weng Meiling nodded.
Some goodbyes may only be temporary, so we look forward to a reunion.
He finally sent away the little sticky ghost in the family, and no one would pestered him to learn to draw anymore.
"The road below, but you have to go by yourself."
In England, Weng Meiling began her days in a foreign country.
She understood that after stepping on this land, the only thing she could rely on was herself.
Fortunately, with extraordinary perseverance and diligence, she completed her high school studies and was admitted to the university with excellent results.
In college, she took a major in textiles, which also included fashion design.
She resolutely embarked on the path of art.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is almost perfect, but no one will know her pain over the years.
She pasted all the paintings that her uncle had given her in the room, which was her sustenance.
Yes, she longs to be loved, and she can only use what the people who love her give her as a pillar, as courage.
It's just that Weng Meiling didn't think that the person she met in college would make her fall into what kind of madness.

Rob Ledbau was a classmate of Weng Meiling's college acquaintances.
The two met, fell in love at first sight, and soon established a relationship.
This is one of the few sweet moments in Weng Meiling's life.
His interesting soul gradually made Weng Meiling firm in her choice.
However, the love affair between the two was strongly opposed by Weng Mu.
This belated love had nourished the girl's long-dried heart, but now this first blow had made her disheartened.
She didn't understand why what she was desperately looking for was forcing her to give up.
Her beauty is thornless, but her heart is full of thorns.
Only love can soften her sharpness.
In order to protect her love, she made that terrible decision.

In order to prove her determination, Weng Meiling thought of suicide.
She wanted to tell her mother about her love for Rob in this extreme way.
There are many ways to prove love, and we will never rely on this way to prove it.
The trigger was a quarrel between mother and daughter.
Mother Weng mentions Rob again, she does not allow her daughter to associate with this foreign man, and she says that he is useless.
Weng Meiling couldn't stand it, she couldn't accept her beloved being vilified like this.
At the end of the argument, Weng Mu forcibly locked Weng Meiling in the room, and even cut off the phone for her.
After five days like this, Weng Meiling was desperate.
In this small space, she seemed to see no hope.
She swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills.
Weng Meiling with her mother
When she was found by her mother, Weng Meiling was already dying.
She was rushed to the hospital for rescue.
Fortunately, in the end, there was no big problem, and Weng Meiling woke up after resting for a few days.
During his hospitalization, Rob would visit Weng Meiling from time to time, but once he happened to be bumped into by Weng Mu.
In the mother's eyes, it was Rob who had harmed his daughter like this.
She was furious, "You're a murderer! ”
Rob had felt guilty, and when he saw his beloved like this, his heart was like a knife.
He was afraid that Awon would do something extreme because of himself, and if he really wanted to do so, he would rather give up.
No one knows how struggling and contradictory this young foreign boy is.
After Weng Meiling recovered, he chose to break up.
He wanted her to be safe than to have it.
Surprisingly, Weng Meiling did not react very much, and she promised Rob.
She understood that the relationship had come to an end.
In order to leave this sad place, she returned to Hong Kong.
After separating from Rob, Weng Meiling remained depressed. Returning to Hong Kong is both a revisit of her hometown and a distraction for herself.
When people are in a period of sadness, they always want to find an outlet and do something else to soothe their pain.
Weng Meiling is no exception.
In 1982, she entered the miss Hong Kong election and successfully reached the final.
Although it failed to enter the top five in the end, the "missed Hong Kong sister" still left a deep impression on everyone.
The TV station also admired this articulate and sweet-looking girl, so it entrusted her to be the host of "Women's New Posture".
Since then, Weng Meiling has begun to enter the television circle and embarked on her acting path.
The following year, her life also changed dramatically.
In 1983, Hong Kong TVB officially began filming "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" and openly recruited Huang Rong candidates.
Weng Meiling also heard the news from the station, and she gritted her teeth and finally decided to try it.
Of the more than three thousand people who came to the interview, she could not be said to be the best one.
But producer Wang Tianlin took a fancy to Weng Meiling at a glance.
In his words, "Awon has a clearly defined and slightly delicate face, and his eyes are even darker and more energetic." With a tall nose and petite lips, her pretty and lively exuding youth and vitality, let her play the role of Huang Rong, who is cute and willful, which is most appropriate. ”
At the beginning of the play, Weng Meiling was both excited and nervous. She is not from a science class, and she has a feeling that she has nowhere to start acting.
And what she took was the "Legend of the Archery Hero" that was highly anticipated at that time, and as soon as she came out of the mountain, she encountered such a difficult bone to gnaw, and Weng Meiling's pressure was also increasing.
But she proved with her actions that Wang Tianlin's original casting was not wrong.
Weng Meiling's biggest advantage is that she is good at learning and understanding.
After shooting two or three episodes, she gradually began to integrate into the characters and play according to the plot of the story, which is why she played a really pretty Huang Rong.
Her personality is like being combined with Huang Rong, and for a moment, it seems that the real Huang Rong is standing in front of you.
Weng Meiling is beautiful, and her beauty is similar to Huang Rong, which is a kind of lovely innocence.
She was born for being an actress, and maybe she was meant to be on that path.
It is undeniable that Huang Rong has made Weng Meiling, and she has also made Huang Rong flesh and blood, and become touchable.
The filming of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero" made Awon a hit, and she may not have thought that she could get to this point.
Her "road to star fortune" was smooth and smooth: TVB began to praise this "master of the family" and often arranged for her to cooperate with Hong Kong's famous "Five Tigers".
"Decisive Battle Xuanwu Gate", "Chu Liuxiang", "Chu River Han Jie"... In one work after another, Weng Meiling surprised the audience more than once.
Soon, she became one of the top ten film and television stars in Hong Kong.
It was then that she met one of the most important men of her life.
Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenye are acquainted with the drama, and the two are talented and female, and they soon come together.
When they work, they are all engaged in it. After finishing work, he returned to the state of daily lover.
In Weng Meiling's eyes, Tang Zhenye has become the object of her talk: her joys and sorrows, her sorrows and sorrows, will be told to Tang Zhenye.
She remembers that when she was injured while filming a martial arts film, he made soup every day and sent it to the hospital to drink for her. She remembered that when she was sad and sad, he was with her.
But as the days go on, Tang Zhenye always feels that he is relying on his lover, he does not want to be that "follower", he wants to find himself more.
Weng Meiling is sensitive, and when she perceives a crack in her love, the first thing she does is desperately try to remedy it.
She gave everything she could to buy a house, and more than once expressed her implicit but genuine emotions to Tang Zhenye: she wanted to have a real home with him.
However, Tang Zhenye's reply was: "When my career is on its own, I think you will wait for me." ”
People who have just been waiting for it seem to be unable to wait for a good ending in the end.
In the second half of 1984, Weng Meiling's acting career was still at its peak, and Tang Zhenye was also proud of the film circle, and the two began to gather less and leave more.
Tang Zhenye has been in the field for more days, and all kinds of opposite sexes have also appeared frequently around him, and for a time various media have caught the wind and shadows, and rumors have spread.
But she could not give up continuing to love him, arguing again and again, expecting again and again, she tried to believe in her lover.
But slowly, she was left with only disappointment.
Her experience from childhood was doomed to her loveless life, she longed for love, more than anyone else, but also more sensitive than anyone to lose love.
She desperately wants to fill her sorrows with love, and only by living in love can she feel her own existence.
She has lost the right to love more than once, Rob is, so is Tang Zhenye, and all the missed and disappointed things in her life are gathered in her heart.
In the early morning of May 14, 1985, 26-year-old Weng Meiling called Tang Zhenye, but did not reply, she left a message: "If you don't return to the machine, you will never hear my voice." ”
It just didn't occur to anyone that she really didn't say a word.
When people found Weng Meiling, she had fallen into an endless sleep.
How desperate and lonely she must have been, before she once again thought of ending her life.
So she turned on the gas in the room, poured another glass of wine, and drank all her grievances.
Gradually she became more and more sleepy, and she closed her eyes, but never woke up again.
May 7 is Awon's birthday.
But seven days later, she left this world.
At the memorial service, Tang Zhenye broke a comb in half, threw off the tail of the comb, and left the comb head in the coffin.
He put another rose in Awon's sideburns, and when he was done, he had already cried into tears.
Doesn't he love Weng Meiling? He loves, he knows very well that he loves, but his misrepresentation and later indifference still become a sharp blade that stabs Awon.
People always have to wait until they have truly lost it before they know preciousness.
Weng Meiling once wrote in an essay: "If one day a god wants to give me a gift, then I will answer him without hesitation: Please give me a person who truly loves me and hurts me." ”
Her life is a firework, a beauty when it blooms, a regret at the end.
"Without you, the world becomes lonely and our lives change."
"If you return to us, the whole world will become heaven."
