In 1993, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was in full swing. In the center of the stage, a layer of lights shrouded in a layer of lights, and the bright decorations were displayed in front of the 23-year-old Mo Kexin.
She looked nervous, clasped her hands and waited for this moment to come.
As the most educated of the candidates, Mo Kexin has an excellent resume and has been highly recommended by Jackie Chan. Although the outside world commented that her appearance was not as eye-catching as other beauties, she was not lacking in self-confidence and believed that her other strengths were enough to make up for this weakness.
As the minutes passed, the eyes of the audience and the contestants also focused on the host. "The champion is Mo Kexin!" An announcement was made, and everyone present froze.
Mo Kexin shed tears of joy excitedly. She didn't expect that she would actually win the championship, and she was full of bright hopes for the future.
However, this result greatly surprised everyone present. For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, thinking that this was the "ugliest champion" being chosen. Mo Kexin, who was trapped in the whirlpool, helplessly accepted all kinds of criticism and doubts from the outside world, and the excitement in his heart was gradually replaced by loss.
She realized that her road to winning the title was not destined to be smooth and even full of thorns.
From the moment she unexpectedly won the championship of Miss Hong Kong, Mo Kexin, who faced the doubts of public opinion, knew that she was not qualified to be a star like the previous champions.
And that's exactly what happened. Under the shaping of this title, she originally had the opportunity to get more opportunities for film and television development, but the whole city was overwhelmed with whispers and negative reviews.
What is especially difficult for Mo Kexin to accept is that Run Run Shaw, the organizer of the Miss Hong Kong competition, also ruthlessly and publicly refused to take her to any public events.
This is undoubtedly the most direct negation and blow to her, the new "champion". Gritting his teeth, Mo Kexin still started his short career in acting, wanting to prove that he is also worthy of this signboard through hard work and strength.
I did give her some opportunities. Such as the first TV series "Pretty Woman". But to Mo Kexin's surprise, as a "champion", she has won all supporting roles or small roles, and there are very few scenes.
In the starring cast, everyone dwarfs her existence.
Mo Kexin was saddened to find that no matter where he went, he was the target of everyone. This made her performance lose its proper state. All kinds of attempts by toads to eat swan meat have ended in failure.
In 2000, Mo Kexin's acting career fell into a complete low ebb. Vanity Fair has always been a hard wall for her, difficult to cross half a step.
In Mo Kexin's difficult acting career, the only consolation was that he met actor Fang Zhongxin during this time. The acquaintance of the two was purely fateful. Fang Zhongxin is a talent, and he is often surrounded by the crew.
And Mo Kexin in this period was criticized and treated coldly in the circle.
Perhaps out of sympathy, Fang Zhongxin repeatedly defended her in front of others. The two gradually fell in love and finally came together. This relationship is like a fairy tale, too beautiful to be true.
Especially in Mo Kexin, who has endured so many white eyes and blows, Fang Zhongxin's appearance undoubtedly gave her great encouragement.
It's just that this love is also full of too many uncertainties. The two have very different personalities, and Fang Zhongxin is short-tempered, this relationship is considerate and concessionary for Mo Kexin again and again.
She often comforts herself that this is all because love is worth the price of patience.
At first, Fang Zhongxin's frequent scandals in the news headlines would make Mo Kexin feel guilty. She often hid alone in her room and cried. But then, it seems to be numb.
After all, compared to the loss of this relationship, the rumors from the outside world seem to be less important.
Day after day, more than ten years have passed. When Fang Zhongxin finally mustered up the courage to formally propose to Mo Kexin, Mo Kexin was excited like a little girl. She seemed to see hope again.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she had unconsciously given too much. She really longs for this relationship to blossom into her own flowers.
Just when Mo Kexin was immersed in joy because of Fang Zhongxin's marriage proposal, an unexpected discovery shattered her dream. She suddenly found out that she was pregnant. This news was a pleasant surprise to her, and she immediately wanted to share the good news with Fang Zhongxin.
However, this time, Fang Zhongxin's performance was beyond Mo Kexin's expectations. He hesitated for a moment after hearing the news of his pregnancy, as if he could not accept it. Immediately afterwards, he fell into a fierce self-struggle, and his expression was complicated.
Mo Kexin was a little at a loss, and tried to persuade Fang Zhongxin to accept the child one after another, and speed up the marriage of the two. She didn't want this child to come into this world without a complete family.
But Fang Zhongxin's attitude was still very ambiguous, which made her heart full of uneasiness.
In the end, under her repeated pleas, Fang Zhongxin reluctantly agreed to hastily go through the formalities of registering the marriage. But Mo Kexin could see that he was reluctant and still had a knot in his heart.
She began to reflect on whether she was too one-sided. This hasty wedding was more of a compromise than a happy one.
Now, Mo Kexin and Fang Zhongxin are growing old together, all the way through 20 years of spring and autumn. Once upon a time, she also imagined what it would be like for her to grow old, but she didn't expect the final appearance to be so ugly.
Fortunately, they also have a daughter.
In the past 20 years, the enthusiasm of the feelings has gradually receded, and only a pool of stagnant water remains. Mo Kexin often feels melancholy in the middle of the night, he has paid so much sincerity, but in the end, all he has gained is Fang Zhongxin's repeated compromises.
She is no longer the simple woman who only had love in her eyes back then.
Fortunately, her daughter's growth has gradually become her new pillar. She will tell herself over and over again that after going through so many unsatisfactory experiences, she is fortunate to have a healthy and happy home now, which is the greatest comfort in her life.
The imperfections of the past are gone with the wind, and she still has a long way to go, and a new and better chapter is ahead.
