When Ariel Lin was a 5-year-old girl, her parents divorced due to emotional discord. Lin's mother took on the responsibility of taking care of her two children on her own, but the financial pressure was increasing day by day.
In order to solve the urgent need, Lin's mother had to choose the seemingly easy method of cashing out her credit card, but the consequences were unpredictable.
At first, Lin's mother was still able to barely support the single-parent family by doing odd jobs. But as the money on the credit card is spent faster and faster, the ratio of interest to principal is completely reversed, and Lin's mother gradually becomes unsustainable.
At that time, Ariel Lin, who was already in the spring period, gradually realized the constraints of her livelihood, and she was worried about her family's deficit all the time.
When Ariel Lin was 16 years old, an accident occurred in the already stretched family -- Lin's mother suddenly suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital! In order to save medical expenses, Lin's mother found an unlicensed masseuse, but who knew that during the treatment, the blood vessels burst and caused a cerebellar stroke.
This is undoubtedly to add insult to injury, and most of the remaining belongings have been consumed by medical expenses.
Suddenly, 16-year-old Ariel Lin became the only breadwinner of the family. She knew that now was not the time to hesitate, and that her family's survival was at stake.
So Ariel Lin hid her inner anxiety and panic, and she resolutely gave up her studies and entered the entertainment industry to make a living. The girl worked hard to support her family, but she also felt more and more desperate as the years passed.
In order to pay off the high debts accumulated by his family as soon as possible, Ariel Lin chose to go all out into his acting career. She is diligent and diligent, her acting skills are getting better and better, and her future is bright.
However, the high-intensity work also consumes Ariel Lin's body that is still in the growth stage.
Ariel Lin has an average of 7 film and television works a year, sometimes running back and forth in multiple crews at the same time in a month. In order to get into the play as soon as possible, she will work for 36 hours in a row and will not fit her eyes.
One day, Ariel Lin changed four outfits to participate in the promotional event after filming, and then rushed to the third set non-stop, and did not finish the day's work until the early hours of the morning.
In such a desperate state of shooting, Ariel Lin's physical condition deteriorated. Finally, a terrible news came - a two-centimeter-large cyst was detected in her brain! In fact, as early as two years ago, Ariel Lin had symptoms of headache and dizziness, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that she is finally on the right track, Ariel Lin did not hesitate at all and chose to continue working after the operation.
In order to recover as soon as possible, Ariel Lin took the initiative to give up all social activities, insisted on going to bed early and getting up early every day, and strictly controlled her diet. She successfully returned to filming in the first month after being discharged from the hospital, and later won the queen again with "I May Not Love You".
However, Ariel Lin also realized that life cannot support such a high-intensity and hard-working life forever.
In 2014, 28-year-old Ariel Lin chose to marry a small and medium-sized business owner. At the beginning of the marriage, Ariel Lin was sensible and content. She takes good care of her parents-in-law and longs to become a mother one day.
However, in this marriage, Ariel Lin and her husband have very little time together.
In the days when the husband and wife were separated, Ariel Lin silently recited in her heart again and again, "Wait for her husband to come back". She believes that as long as she is attentive enough, the sweetness of marriage will come one day.
In 2019, Ariel Lin resolutely chose to stop work in order to get pregnant. She gave up the opportunity to take over the drama and looked forward to the arrival of the pacifier. After three years of waiting, Ariel Lin gave birth to her daughter in 2022.
She was ecstatic, but she also instantly understood that there was still no place for her husband in this family.
Ariel Lin tried her best to manage this marriage, and the ratio of return and cost was seriously unbalanced. Under the persuasion of his friends, Ariel Lin began to reflect on whether he needed to continue to give.
She understands that one person's efforts cannot change all reality, and she has the right to pursue happiness. Ariel Lin decided to slow down and reshuffle love.
At a party, Ariel heard a director comment that she was "trying too hard and needs to learn to relax." This sentence touched her, and Ariel Lin began to reflect on her attitude towards life.
In the past, Ariel Lin was always demanding that she go all out. Whether it is a career or a family, she must pursue the best results, otherwise she will regret and feel guilty.
Ariel Lin will lose sleep because of his 92 points, and he will self-criticize because of the slightest mistake at work. She is Xi to living in tension and pressure, and feels that is the driving force to move forward.
Now, Ariel realizes that the essence of life should not only be competition and hard work. She slows down and chooses to enjoy her work with less unnecessary sacrifices.
Ariel Lin learns to recognize her efforts, even if the results are not satisfactory; She learns to accept her husband's decision and keep her own independence.
"I used to ask myself for 95 points and get 92 points and get frustrated, but from now on, I want to live an 85 points. Ariel Lin made up her mind to reduce her burden. She finally understood that by embracing the uncertainties of life, she and her family could find peace and happiness.
