Haruki Murakami once said: "There is no need to set every goal of life on the age line, the essence of life is to experience, perceive, and grow, and what to do at what age is itself a false proposition." ”
In fact, life really begins when you find your passion.
is like Michelle Yeoh, who spent 40 years winning the Oscar, loved for 19 years, and entered the marriage hall with her boyfriend.
Because of love, everything came at the right time.

Entering the circle was an accident
Michelle Yeoh was born in Malaysia in a prestigious Chinese family.
There is a city of Cestbon in Malaysia, and there is a street in the city, and the name of the street is named after Michelle Yeoh's grandfather.
Michelle Yeoh has many brothers and sisters in her family, but it does not affect her being regarded by her father as the pearl of her palm.
At the age of 4, Michelle Yeoh began to be exposed to various artistic influences and sports, and she was particularly passionate about ballet.
At the age of 15, Michelle Yeoh was admitted to the Royal Academy of Dance in London, England, majoring in ballet.
At that time, Michelle Yeoh wanted to open a dance school. It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, because of a spinal injury during a practice, Michelle Yeoh has no fate with dance.
At the age of 21, Michelle Yeoh's mother filled in a beauty contest for her, and Michelle Yeoh shattered her long-standing wishes, so she obeyed her mother's arrangement to return to Malaysia to compete, but she didn't expect to win the championship.
At that time, Michelle Yeoh didn't realize that a champion was her entry into the showbiz.
When Michelle Yeoh won the beauty pageant championship, it coincided with the preparation of an advertisement for Debao Company, and the actor determined Jackie Chan, who was already famous at that time, but the heroine was unable to decide.
At this time, someone recommended Michelle Yeoh, and after the two finished filming the advertisement, Michelle Yeoh was also favored by Pan Disheng, the owner of Debao Film Company at the time, and signed a contract to become its artist.
At this point, Michelle Yeoh, who yearns for ballet, has started a life in the entertainment industry.

A breakthrough acting career
The company's initial positioning of Michelle Yeoh was a "jade girl", and the first work filmed was also to play a weak female teacher.
However, after the completion of the first work, Michelle Yeoh realized that she did not have the talent to be a "jade girl", and she was bent on achieving a career, rather than simply acting as a "vase". So he took the initiative to find Sammo Hung and joined the Hong family class to start the road of martial arts.
In 1985, Michelle Yeoh was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards for "Royal Sister", and she also successfully transformed from a "jade girl" to a "beating girl", and became famous for a while.
Unexpectedly, when her career was in full swing, Michelle Yeoh chose to retire and get married and become a wealthy wife.
It turned out that when Pan Disheng signed Michelle Yeoh, he was moved by this girl, and after some pursuit, he finally got the beauty.
After marriage, Pan Disheng hoped that Michelle Yeoh could focus on her family, and for the sake of love, Michelle Yeoh was willing to be a full-time wife.
However, marriage can't trap women with ideals, let alone Michelle Yeoh, who is so assertive.
Such a marriage lasted only three years. In 1992, Michelle Yeoh divorced and came back, and once again cultivated her acting career.
Michelle Yeoh's comeback work is "Police Story 3: Super Police" with Jackie Chan.
In the film, whether it is a relaxing fight scene or a difficult speeding car ride, Michelle Yeoh does it herself. This laid a solid foundation for her "beating women" status.
After the screening of "Police Story 3: Super Cop", Michelle Yeoh became the highest-paid female star at that time.
The filming of the fight scene is very dangerous.
In "Ah Jin's Story", Michelle Yeoh needs to jump from a high platform of more than ten meters into a moving truck, due to improper positioning, Michelle Yeoh was stuck in the gap after jumping in, and her whole body could not move.
For this reason, Michelle Yeoh recuperated in the hospital for a year, and still firmly chose the latter in the midst of physical pain and career love.
In 1997, Michelle Yeoh recovered and made a comeback and was invited to participate in the filming of "007: Tomorrow's Empire", becoming the first Chinese-American Bond girl and successfully entering the Hollywood market.
In 2000, Michelle Yeoh's acting skills were seen by the public because of her participation in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, which also strengthened Michelle Yeoh's confidence in transformation.
"The identity of a generation of 'beating women' has been defined, but my acting skills can also be seen. ”
Michelle Yeoh, who wanted to prove her acting skills, took over the filming of "Memoirs of a Geisha" soon after.
In the film, Michelle Yeoh plays the role of a Japanese geisha Mamiyu, who does not have many lines, but shows her secret love passionately.
"Aung San Suu Kyi" was defined by Ang Lee as Michelle Yeoh's pinnacle work.
There, she was a wife who loved her husband dearly, a mother who cared for her children, and a great female leader.
A large number of inner dramas were vividly interpreted by Michelle Yeoh, who was born in martial arts-the anxiety when she couldn't listen to the show due to a power outage, and the relief after hearing her son speak on her behalf......
The emotions are switched freely in this way, each expression is just right, and every expression is in the woods.
Of course, Michelle Yeoh is most proud of "Instant Universe".

People and things are the best time
"Instant Universe" tells the story of a middle-aged aunt who defeats the forces of evil and saves the multiverse.
Evelyn in the story is a typical middle-aged woman. The husband is weak, the daughter is rebellious and seeks independence, and the father is even more immobile and needs to be accompanied.
The daily bits and pieces of chickens and dogs and the perseverance and courage after gaining the ability were accurately handled by Michelle Yeoh.
With a global box office of $150 million and a record of seven Oscar awards, Michelle Yeoh naturally became the Oscar-winning actress.
Michelle Yeoh has waited for a long time for this position, even if she missed the so-called peak, even if she sacrificed the recognized "golden period", with her love and unremitting persistence.
This trophy finally got into Michelle Yeoh's hands.
Recently, Michelle Yeoh, who has a spring career, added good news - she married her boyfriend who has been running for 19 years on July 27, 2023.
It is reported that the two met in Shanghai in 2004, and on July 26 of the same year, her boyfriend proposed to Michelle Yeoh, and after 6992 days, the two finally entered the marriage hall hand in hand.
At the wedding scene, surrounded by relatives and friends, the newlyweds were full of smiles, and of course, there was the hard-won "little golden man".
Many people say that the older you get, the less chance you have. But true love has nothing to do with age, the moment you really fall in love, the time is just right.
Don't give up on the dreams you want, people and things will come.
As long as you are determined to experience, to perceive, to grow.
It's all about the best time.
