Preface:
What could be more worthy of our efforts than to avoid regrets in our lives? If a person dies with regrets, he will deeply regret his uncourage and cowardice at the last moment of his life.
However, as long as we act courageously now, there is still time to remedy everything.
Let's draw wisdom from the life experience of model Hu Bing, so as not to follow in his footsteps.
01
On a cold winter day in 1969, the Hu family in Hangzhou celebrated the birth of their first child.
The sports coach couple excitedly named their child "Hu Dong", hoping that he would be as good and glorious as the sun rising in the east.
Two years later, their second son was born, and this time his parents hopefully named him "Hu Bing", expecting him to be strong and strong, like a brave soldier.
Hu's parents both work in the sports system, and they are bent on training their sons to become great athletes.
Since he was a child, Hu Bing has followed his brother Hu Dong for high-intensity physical training, and his parents have formulated a good diet and rest habits for them.
Every morning, Hu Bing would get up and run with his brother, and then eat a nutritious and balanced breakfast and go to school energetically.
After school, there was a series of physical training, and his strong physique made Hu Bing full of confidence since he was a child.
While children of the same age were still playing carefree, Hu Bing had already begun to think about what sports he would choose in the future.
Every year the school holds a sports meeting, and Hu Bing and his brother can easily win the first place and become the envy of their classmates.
Everyone asked Hu Bing how to train such excellent physical fitness.
Hu Bing often lies side by side on the playground with his brother, fantasizing about the scene of becoming a professional athlete when he grows up, standing on the podium and receiving applause from the audience.
However, there is always a gap between the ideal and the reality.
Seeing that Hu Dong was successfully admitted to the People's Liberation Army Sports Academy, his parents were proud and pinned more expectations on their youngest son Hu Bing.
In the end, Hu Bing was only admitted to a sports college in Zhejiang Province.
Although his parents were a little disappointed, they still fully supported Hu Bing and hoped that he could shine well in the junior college.
Hu Bing did not give up, he chose the kayaking project, and got up early every day to train on the lake.
He is strict about his diet and routine, and he trains hard to fight for future opportunities as a professional athlete.
02
During his college years, Hu Bing's canoeing results were always among the best, and he focused and worked hard to finally win a second place in a national competition and get the opportunity to be shortlisted for the national team.
This is a very important opportunity for Hu Bing.
He began to realize his childhood dream of perhaps representing China in the Olympic Games.
This inspired Hu Bing to train harder, and he was very popular on campus because of his strong physique and handsome appearance.
Many girls have a crush on Hu Bing, and confessional love letters often fill his cabinet, but he only wants to train and is not interested in love.
Hu Bing remembered the agreement with his brother that they would each break through on the road of sports, and when they met one day, they were already leaders in their respective fields.
However, just as Hu Bing was about to graduate, a tragedy struck.
Years of high-intensity training caused him to suffer from severe lumbar muscle strain and myocarditis, and Hu Bing suddenly suffered from low back pain in a national competition before graduation, and the bad news was discovered after the game.
The doctor clearly told him that he could no longer do physical training, otherwise it could be life-threatening.
In an instant, Hu Bing's dream of being an athlete for many years was shattered, and he sat by the window in despair, tears pouring out uncontrollably.
He tried to stay in the sports world as a commentator or coach, but the national team simply wouldn't want an injured athlete.
He didn't know what kind of place he could find in the world besides sports.
Fortunately, when Hu Bing was lost, a new opportunity came.
03
In 1990, a silk company needed male models to show their clothes at the Canton Fair, and Hu Bing's sturdy physique and handsome appearance attracted their attention, and Hu Bing, who had no experience, entered the modeling industry.
At first, Hu Bing was not suitable for this job, but in order to make a living, he still tried to show himself on the catwalk.
To everyone's surprise, Hu Bing showed amazing talent on the runway, his posture was upright, his turn was powerful, and the effect of matching the costume was very good.
The agent was optimistic about him, and soon emerged in the domestic male model industry and became a leader at that time.
In the second year, Hu Bing easily won the championship of the National Male Model Competition.
The applause and cheers from the audience made him feel like he was back in the sports arena.
Although his father was not optimistic about this profession, Hu Bing still bravely followed his heart.
He has made a name for himself in the modeling industry, not only walking the catwalk for domestic clothing brands, but also being invited to be a special model for international brands.
A rich British woman even wanted to take Hu Bing to Britain to develop and provide all the necessities of life, but Hu Bing refused, believing that as long as he was good enough, he would definitely succeed in his homeland.
After his career was successful, Hu Bing also began to crave love.
At a fashion show, he met Bao Haiqing, who is also a model.
Bao Haiqing was recognized as the first beauty in the modeling circle at that time, she was beautiful and moving, but she also had a distinct personality and refused to be a vassal of others.
The two fell in love at first sight, soon fell in love and decided to get married.
Bao Haiqing first expressed her love, and Hu Bing was also attracted by her generosity.
The two often go for a walk on a date and go to the movies together.
Hu Bing felt that Bao Haiqing's internal and external appearance was perfect.
They plan to develop at home for a few years first, and then go abroad to see the bigger world.
However, Hu Bing's parents strongly opposed this marriage, because Bao Haiqing was 8 years older than Hu Bing, and the modeling profession was not favored.
The mother cried and begged Hu Bing to break up, and the father also sternly objected.
Under the pressure of his parents, Hu Bing painfully chose to break up with Bao Haiqing, which became the second regret of his life.
After the breakup, Bao Haiqing's bar went bankrupt and lost her love, and she chose to become a monk to seek spiritual comfort.
If Hu Bing had been brave and got rid of the influence of his parents, would their endings be different? This became Hu Bing's lifelong question.
After entering the entertainment industry, Hu Bing met Qu Ying again in the idol drama "True Confession".
The two have worked together in the modeling industry, and Qu Ying is smart and generous, which left a deep impression on Hu Bing.
This time, playing the role of a couple, it is regarded as an excellent match by the outside world.
Qu Ying's jade tree is in the wind, Hu Bing's heroic posture is cool, and the audience is extremely embarrassed by his appearance alone.

When getting along with the crew, Hu Bing gradually fell in love with Qu Ying, and her demeanor in her gestures had a temperament that attracted Hu Bing very much.
But Qu Ying once said that work and life should be separated, which made Hu Bing dare not act rashly.
Later, Qu Ying fell in love with several male actors successively, and every relationship broke down under the attention of the outside world, and she was always hurt.
Qu Ying is soft and fragile in her heart, and every time she breaks up, she needs time to recover.
And Hu Bing became her most trusted confidant, silently guarding her and supporting her when she was most vulnerable.
Hu Bing didn't know what position he had in Qu Ying's heart.
He never mustered up the courage to confess to Qu Ying, and could only watch her miss himself and fall in love with other male protagonists.
When Qu Ying fell into an emotional trough, Hu Bing always appeared as soon as possible to give her spiritual comfort.
He would take Qu Ying to watch comedy movies to make her happy.
Then accompany her to the park for a walk and listen to her talk about her troubles.
But when Qu Ying's mood recovers, she will come together with the new actor in the next film and television work.
Hu Bing was anxious but could not do anything.
He didn't dare to break this hard-won friendship, for fear that he would lose Qu Ying on impulse.
So, year after year, Hu Bing has a crush on Qu Ying until now, and he has not done anything else except for occasionally hearing about her in the entertainment news.
And Qu Ying has gradually faded out of the public eye, and is no longer as productive as before.
Occasionally, she would attend an event, and she was still so beautiful and moving, seeing her, Hu Bing's heart throbbed.
But the gap between the past and the reality between the two is no longer possible.
Three uneasy loves and careers made Hu Bing's life full of regrets.
In fact, many regrets stem from the lack of courage and decisiveness at the beginning.
If we dare to pursue boldly and express ourselves in life, maybe the result will be completely different.
There are no ifs in life, but we still have time to act bravely so as not to leave more regrets in the future.
Hu Bing's experience reminds us that we should live actively and take responsibility for our choices, so that no matter what the outcome, we will not be left with regrets.
Epilogue:
We all have regrets in our lives.
But regret can be a deficiency or a motivation.
Hu Bing's three difficult meanings make us understand that we should live in the present, pursue bravely, and leave no regrets.
Whatever the outcome, as long as you do your best, you won't have to regret it.
From now on, let's dare to listen to our hearts, pursue true love, and live our own lives.
