A Dream of Red Mansions, thirty years later
Thirty years ago, a classic TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" swept the country, and the women in the play who were beautiful, charming, dignified, or pungent all left a deep impression on the audience. Among them, Zhang Lei, who played the role of "Qin Keqing", was affectionately called "the first beauty of the Red Mansion" by the audience for her outstanding beauty and acting skills.
However, just when this drama was on fire, Zhang Lei quietly left the showbiz and went to the United States to study. Since then, this "first beauty of the Red Mansion" has disappeared, as if the world has evaporated. The outside world has different opinions about her whereabouts, some people say that she died like a character in the play, and some people speculate that she lived a poor life in a foreign country......
In fact, Zhang Lei is doing well in the United States. She was admitted to Columbia University to study filmmaking, and although she didn't succeed in becoming a director, she met a like-minded lover, and the two joined hands in the business world and had a successful career. In family life, the husband and wife are loving, the son is filial, and the family of three is happy.
Looking back, Zhang Lei said frankly that starring in "Dream of Red Mansions" was the pinnacle of her acting career, although she later withdrew from the circle with some regrets, she never regretted her choice. Because over the years, she has had the most precious thing - a happy family and a happy life.
Zhang Lei's story is like a beautiful fairy tale. When she was a girl, she was a beloved "lady", with enviable beauty and talent; in her youth, she emerged in the entertainment industry and had a bright future; and in middle age, she chose an ordinary but happy life, and reaped a double harvest of career and family in a foreign country.
This can't help but remind people of a sentence in "Dream of Red Mansions": "If you want to give color, you don't have a word, and you can do it as well as you can." Zhang Lei's life trajectory is just like a timeless image, condensing the ups and downs of the world, but revealing timelessness and beauty in the plain.
Thirty years have passed, what happened to the unforgettable women of the Red Mansion back then?
Some people, like Zhang Lei, have found simple happiness in ordinary life, some people have experienced the ups and downs of life and tasted the heat and coldness of the world, and some people, like the characters in the play, died young and became eternal memories......
No matter what kind of life they experience, they have left the most beautiful figure on the screen and become a lingering memory in the hearts of a generation. As the lyrics sing: "Youth is only once, now and forever, we are all on the road." "
Zhang Lei's story tells us that life is like a dream, sometimes the fireworks are gorgeous, sometimes the bland. But as long as we work hard to pursue our dreams, even if the final outcome is different from what we imagined, we will eventually reap our own happiness and joy.
A dream of the Red Chamber, thirty years later, we are all on the road. I hope everyone can be like Zhang Lei, in their own way, to deduce a wonderful life.
