Preamble:
There is a saying that if a woman wants to live a chic life, she must first learn to let go.
So, what kind of woman is worthy of the word "chic"? What does she need to let go of in order to be truly free?
She let go of love, but gained friendship
Shi Nansheng, a woman from a wealthy family.
Her father was a successful businessman, and she lived a privileged life since she was a child.
In order to give their daughter a better education, Shi Nansheng's parents sent her to study abroad.
Life there was a little uncomfortable for her, but with her cheerful and optimistic personality, Shi Nansheng quickly mingled with her classmates and became a recognized pistachio.
After returning from studying abroad, Shi Nansheng became a host on Radio Television Hong Kong with his own strength.
She always handles unexpected situations with skill and uses witty and humorous language to liven up the atmosphere.
This made her loved by everyone in the stage.
Soon, through her own efforts, she was promoted to the deputy director of Jiayi TV.
It was at this time that 27-year-old Shi Nansheng met 28-year-old Tsui Hark.
Tsui Hark is a filmmaker who is full of ideals but still struggles.
It was love at first sight that the two soon fell in love and founded a film company together.
Under Shi Nansheng's excellent management, Tsui Hark gradually made a name for himself in the film industry.
However, the acquisition of fame and fortune also changed Tsui Hark.
He began to cheat frequently, but Shi Nansheng repeatedly forgave him.
She wants to communicate well with Tsui Hark, but Tsui Hark no longer has a common language.
Finally one day, Shi Nansheng let go of this relationship.
When she stepped out of this roof with her suitcase in hand, she knew she deserved better.
"I'm very grateful to Tsui Hark, it's because of his ignorance that I became such a wonderful person. Shi Nansheng said.
She didn't choose to complain, but looked open and gained real freedom.
At the same time, Shi Nansheng also reaped the fruits of friendship.
She has the best relationship with Lin Qingxia, and the two are very close to each other, and they often go out to eat and shop together.
Lin Qingxia always said that Shi Nansheng was her only bosom friend.
In addition to Lin Qingxia, Shi Nansheng is also very good with Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian.
Especially Lin Qingxia's daughter, she will treat her like a relative, and she will also give generous gifts on Mother's Day every year.
It is these like-minded friends who make Shi Nansheng's life still colorful and never lonely after losing love.
It can be said that Shi Nansheng let go of love, but gained the true meaning of friendship.
The companionship and support from her friends have become a solid backing for her to get out of her pain and start anew.
She let go of her career and embraced her passion
After leaving Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng did not stop and live in seclusion.
She chose to pursue a career in film, which is her lifelong passion.
With many years of experience as the vice president of a film company, Shi Nansheng soon set up his own studio.
She personally handled it and officially entered the production circle.
"It's right to really do what you love.
After leaving Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng suddenly had such an idea.
It turned out that when she was by Tsui Hark's side, she was more to support Tsui Hark's career.
Now she can finally live only for her passion.
Shi Nansheng chose to shoot her favorite subjects, she looked for powerful newcomers and gave them the opportunity to show their skills.
These youthful and touching emotional movies quickly achieved a good response.
The films produced by Shi Nansheng are constantly innovating and are well received by the audience.
No one ever doubted that a woman would succeed, because she proved with her actions that she could still support herself in this circle even if she did not rely on it.
Today, Shi Nansheng is one of the most successful female filmmakers in the film industry, and has been named one of the 50 most influential filmmakers by international authoritative magazines.
And the basis of all this is her love for the film industry.
It is precisely because she has learned to let go of the responsibilities of her career that she can fully embrace her passion.
Letting go of Tsui Hark is for Shi Nansheng to leave his comfort zone and start anew.
However, it really shows her excellence and charm.
Some people may ask, how can a woman succeed in the film industry without relying on it? But Shi Nansheng used her story to tell the world: as long as there is passion and courage, dreams will eventually come true.
She let go of her baggage and was free
Many people may think that Shi Nansheng gave up childbirth for the career of Tsui Hark and became a Dink family, and now he is 72 years old but has no children, which is a very pitiful thing.
But Shi Nansheng never thought so.
Originally, Shi Nansheng also wanted a child of her own, but for the sake of Tsui Hark's film career, she chose to be sterilized.
This decision cost her a lot, but now it seems that it was one of the best decisions she has made in her life.
Without the burden of children, her life has become unrestrained.
She can work to her heart's content and do what she loves best.
She also experienced regret and pain, but soon realized that having her own career and passion had made her life very rich.
Moreover, Lin Qingxia's daughter is like her own daughter, and she has never felt lonely.
Now Shi Nansheng still loves life and enjoys life like a little girl.
She would go out shopping with her good sisters, and she would also go to the temple alone to meditate.
She can live every day as she wants, and have a free life that others can't imagine.
Perhaps this is the essence of embracing life.
Many people may not be able to understand Shi Nansheng's choice, but for her, children are nothing more than expectations and constraints.
Without this baggage, she has gained true freedom.
Maybe this is the common choice of many successful women.
Letting go of the shackles behind them, they can fly to the higher skies without restraint.
She let go of the past and lived in the present
For many people, separating from a loved one who once depended on each other is the most painful thing in life.
What's more, Shi Nansheng paid so much for Tsui Hark.
At one point, she fell into extreme pain and self-blame.
However, few people know that Shi Nansheng did not suffer for too long because of the breakdown of this relationship.
Maybe it's the optimism that comes with Shi Nansheng's character.
She quickly picked herself up and thanked Tsui Hark for making her what she is today.
Shi Nansheng knew that life was going on, and she couldn't dwell on the pain of the past.
So she started a new life, focusing on the present and the future.
Whenever he recalls the past, Shi Nansheng is no longer as sad as before, but will smile slightly and cherish everything he has now.
It is precisely because of this that Shi Nansheng is now very content.
She no longer has any regrets and worries, and regards every day as the best gift in life.
She learned to be grateful, to be grateful to everyone who came along in her life.
Maybe that's what it's like to really live in the moment.
For a woman, the breakdown of love often means a cold winter of the soul.
But Shi Nansheng chose to welcome spring.
She let go of all the unhappiness of the past and was no longer haunted by pain.
When she lived in front of her and enjoyed every ray of sunshine, life suddenly became beautiful.
This is also one of the important reasons why she can stay young forever and always be full of charm.
Epilogue:
It takes courage to let go; It takes wisdom to let go.
What Shi Nansheng let go of is not feelings, not careers, not relatives, but obsession with all this.
She let go of the past and lived in the present; She put aside fame and fortune and embraced passion; She let go of her baggage and was free.
Such a woman is indeed worthy of the word "chic".
I also hope that more women can let go of their burdens and live truly freely!
