Girlhood: Ideals and Yearnings
On a summer night in August 1970, Wang Lin was born in a military family in Shanghai. She inherited her father's intelligent and diligent character, and her mother's soft and gentle temperament.
It's just that her parents are very busy with work, and Wang Lin has lived with her grandparents since she was a child. In the days when she didn't have the love of her parents, she secretly wiped away a lot of tears by herself, but she also learned to be strong and independent.
When she was a girl, Wang Lin loved to watch movies, hiding in the quilt countless times, flipping through entertainment magazines under the flashlight, holding her breath, and looking at the actresses on the screen obsessively.
She longs for the day when she can shine so brightly and make the audience fall in love with her. "I can too, I can sure!" Wang Lin secretly made up her mind.
In 1989, Wang Lin was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, which she had loved for a long time, and excitedly told her family the good news that her dream had come true. There are many outstanding newcomers here, and there are many predecessors that Wang Lin once admired.
Compared with boys and girls of the same age, 19-year-old Wang Lin looks particularly mature and plump. Ren Chengwei's idol Xu Yajun's appearance made Wang Lin's heart beat faster. "This is the boy I've been looking for!" She's so happy.
It's a pity that Ren Chengwei has always had only the elegant Huang Lei next door in his eyes, and he turned a blind eye to Wang Lin's hospitality. The girl's heart sank little by little, and Wang Lin understood that there was a long way to go to pursue her ideals.
Study Abroad: Breaking New Horizons
In 1990, the Shanghai Theater Academy gave Wang Lin a rare opportunity to send her to study at the famous Moscow Film Academy in Russia. Wang Lin was so excited that she immediately packed her bags and prepared to set off.
Everything in a foreign country is new to her, and Wang Lin has benefited a lot from the rich curriculum and advanced concepts. "It's a rare upgrade!" Wang Lin wrote in her diary.
Three years later, 23-year-old Wang Lin returned to her hometown in a mature manner. She found that Xu Yajun, who she once loved, had remarried, and Ren Chengwei also had his own home.
Wang Lin can't help but think that the road of life is still long, she is in her best years, and she must move forward bravely and realize her dreams in one go. So Wang Lin was determined to go all out to devote herself to her acting career, and she knew that only by working hard could she seize her own opportunities.
When the college announced the casting news of a new drama "Love in the Pearl River", Wang Lin did not hesitate to sign up. "This is my chance, and I will definitely win this role!" She clenched her fists secretly, and her eyes shone with determination.
Frustration is the first time to cry
In 1994, Wang Lin became an instant hit with "Love in the Pearl River", and she also met a considerate and gentle wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. The two quickly fell in love and soon got married.
"I've found my home. Wang Lin went to Hong Kong with her husband full of hope. However, the good times did not last long, and more than a year later, Wang Lin found that the two had too many differences in their lives, and finally could not escape the fate of divorce.
In terms of career, Wang Lin has not improved greatly. Until 1997, when she played the role of Aunt Xue in "Huanzhu Gege", Wang Lin was gradually classified as a "vicious stepmother"-style villain actor.
At first, she was difficult to accept, but soon Wang Lin understood that adversity is the ladder of growth, as the so-called "one minute on stage, ten years off the stage".
Wang Lin was not discouraged and devoted all her energy to every role. She understands the joys and sorrows in the hearts of the characters, and excavates the tension contained in every turning point in the play. She has both keen insight and deep acting skills.
Gradually, Wang Lin was recognized by the audience and industry insiders. Although she has never really been able to become the female number one, Wang Lin understands that there is a long way to go in acting, and she still needs to continue to work hard to go further.
Remarry and have children: Embracing single parents
In 2005, 35-year-old Wang Lin met Liu Guojing, a wealthy businessman in the mainland, and the two soon entered the palace of marriage. "This time I will hold on to happiness. Wang Lin caressed her stomach, full of hope.
She longs for a warm home and for the company of her children. Sure enough, she got her wish and gave birth to her beloved son the following year.
However, the good times did not last long, and Wang Lin found that Liu Guojing was busy with work and had little time to spend with his family. Differences between husband and wife are also becoming more apparent. Wang Lin hid her red eyes in front of her son, but the smile on her face always looked so reluctant.
Finally, when her son was 5 years old, Wang Lin painfully chose to divorce and become a single mother.
"It's okay Mom, I'm with you. The son hugged Wang Lin obediently. Wang Lin's heart was like a knife, she knew that she had to be strong and live for her precious son.
So Wang Lin returned to the entertainment industry, hoping to support her family with her own efforts.
Fortunately, in 2012, Aunt Xue's emoji became popular on the Internet, and Wang Lin took advantage of this to become popular again. She understands that adversity is a test given to her by God, and only courage is the meaning of life.
In 2014, Wang Lin boldly appeared on the cover of "Men's Wear" magazine, showing the charm of a mature woman. Now she is a benchmark of the Mesozoic generation in the industry, her career has reached unprecedented heights, and she can also take charge of herself.
"Middle-aged beauty": eternal youth
Today, 52-year-old Wang Lin is still beautiful and moving, and under her glamorous appearance is the inner demeanor of precipitation. How many people envy her for her successful career and her son's health and safety.
And the most important thing in Wang Lin's heart is the baby son who accompanies her day and night.
Wang Lin knows that there is no eternal happiness in life, but there is always happiness worth enjoying. She has always retained that girlish passion and persistence, and learned to find her own direction in life.
Perhaps, it is precisely because Wang Lin will always have a playful girl living in her heart that she will have such vigorous energy and exude the charm of a mature woman.
"Happy birthday, Mom!" The son's voice came from behind him. Wang Lin's eyes moistened suddenly, and she turned around and hugged her most beloved person tightly.
