Recently, Lin Zhiling, who has not appeared for a long time, was interviewed by Cai Kangyong and announced that he would not return to work in the entertainment industry, and was on the hot search for a while.
During the interview, Cai Kangyong asked, "If the child grows up to a certain extent and no longer needs your care, will you return to work in the entertainment industry?" Lin Zhiling still replied firmly: "No." He added, "I already have gray hair, and I hope you remember me with black hair." ”
Many people ignore the fact that when he said this, Lin Zhiling was 48 years old.
As a representative of Taiwan's sweet girl, although Lin Zhiling still speaks loudly, she knows very well that at the age of 40+, it is difficult to continue to maintain the character of sweet girl. Even if she is huddled in a one-bedroom apartment with her husband in Japan and brings her baby alone, she enjoys her current married life and enjoys "being an ordinary married woman".
I understand that she is saying "no" to all expectations for her (expecting her to marry into a wealthy family, expecting her and the missed love to continue the frontier), and what she gained is rare freedom, her own life.
Taiwan's once popular female stars across the strait and three places, generally 40+, although the songs and plays they sing and act are still sweet, but their lives are now all kinds of tastes, but there is no sweetness.
They broke through career bottlenecks, experienced various divorce rumors, endured physical pain, and resolved family conflicts, and after drying their tears, they finally arrived at their own lives.
41-year-old Zhang Shaohan
Zhang Shaohan just debuted because of "MVP Lover", "Dolphin Bay Lover" and other dramas, and reached the peak of his career with songs such as "Invisible Wings", "Sun in the Palm of the Hand", "Aurora" and so on.
However, when he had a heart attack and urgently needed surgery, he was swept away by his mother; After borrowing money for surgery, he was framed by his mother for taking drugs, and was attacked for not being filial and supporting his parents...
Zhang Shaohan once choked up in front of the camera and said: "I didn't think that there are really parents who don't love their children."
How deep the pain of being betrayed by our loved ones is, we ordinary people cannot imagine.
After many years of silence, Zhang Shaohan finally returned with a song "A Diao" and exploded again in the mainland. That Zhang Shaohan, who has a small body, even if there is no one behind her, she has always been strong against this world, full of courage.
It's just that now she can no longer see the sweet little girl she used to have between her eyebrows, with a resolute face.
41-year-old Ariel Lin
Lin Aichen, who became a hit when she debuted in 2002, has great career luck. From his debut work "The 18-Year-Old Agreement", to "Flying Immortals" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" cooperated with Hu Ge, to his masterpiece "Prank Kiss" and the transformational work "I May Not Love You", every work is applauded and applauded.
This "bitter dan", who debuted to support his family and pay off debts since he was a child, once fell ill and needed surgery due to six days of not sleeping too hard to work. Her previous life was not like those "silly white sweets" she played, not sweet at all.
I always thought that I would eventually marry my childhood sweetheart, and I would be willing to do my best. But Ariel Lin's "marriage news" is like an annual report, with new editions every year.
The key words are: husband cheating, being subjected to domestic violence, ignoring in-laws, being disgusted and not having a son...
Although the agent always keeps refuting rumors and saying that it is okay. But seeing Lin Aichen's state after marriage, everyone knew that whether the marriage was good or not was written on their faces. And Ariel Lin's face was always full of exhaustion.
After all, Lin Aichen once said that she chose her husband because her husband said that she could go back at any time if she wanted to go back to her mother's house. This is a very humble thing to us, but she takes it as sweet;
I stopped working to focus on getting pregnant, but my husband only came back once in three or five months. Even when Lin Aichen gave birth, he only stayed for two days and returned to the United States;
The husband is hidden, but Lin Aichen has to live in her in-laws' house to take care of her in-laws, get up at 4 a.m. to make breakfast, accompany her in-laws to practice in the morning, and send her father-in-law to work...
This "bitter dan" still does not get the sweetness that has never been obtained in a lifetime. Just as most Taiwanese actresses are obsessed with marrying well, having a happy family, children, and preferably sons, this is a normal and complete life. But what if she had continued to do her business?
A sigh.
The first half of the lives of these Taiwanese female stars is like an arranged script, and everyone is "expected to be an excellent and well-lived woman", and is expected to become a normal woman with what they consider to be a complete life.
Now 40+, they have struggled to get to today, life has more choices, some choose to start a completely different new life, some choose to lick their wounds alone. But no matter what, they are brave.
I hope they continue to be brave and happy.
