Time flies, and Ding Lan, who was once a household name, is now over 60 years old. She lives alone in an old apartment in Beijing, and sits alone in front of the window in a daze every day, except for some business affairs.
Looking back on the glorious scenes in the past, she became popular all over the country with the role of "Shepherd Girl" in the movie "Shaolin Temple", and she can be said to be the dream lover of thousands of girls at that time.

Looking at herself with white hair and wrinkles in the mirror, Ding Lan's eyes revealed a trace of melancholy, and she couldn't hide the loneliness and loneliness in her heart. Once upon a time, she was the focus of countless people's pursuits, but now she can only spend her days alone in a deserted room.

In 1982, the martial arts movie "Shaolin Temple" directed by Zhang Xinyan caused a sensation in the whole country as soon as it was released. Among them, the image of the "shepherd girl" played by Ding Lan can be described as a classic.

Ding Lan loves the acting career and is determined to win an invitation to Singapore. Eventually, in 1991, she made a decision that shocked countless people - divorced her husband and went on to pursue her dream career.
It's a tough journey
After coming to the unfamiliar Singapore, Ding Lan found that the filming mode here is very different from that in China. They don't provide the full script at once, but shoot first and then write, taking the form of impromptu capture.
This made Ding Lan, who had just arrived, feel at a loss and seemed at a loss.
In addition to the different ways of working, Singapore, as an entertainment powerhouse in Asia, is full of excellent actors, and the opportunities for roles are stretched, and the competition is extremely fierce. Although Ding Lan starred in several TV series with her outstanding acting skills at the beginning, it was difficult for her to get the opportunity to star, and her role gradually decreased.
The once dazzling aura of the "shepherdess" has slowly faded here. The majority of supporters all sighed that she could have continued her peak glory in China, but she chose to give up this opportunity.

In the end, for the sake of the healthy growth of their children, they chose to end the marriage, and their son was raised by his ex-husband.
In 2001, Ding Lan returned with the determination to regain her strength in the domestic film and television industry, but found that the threshold of the industry was far from what she expected, and it was difficult to gain a foothold. In order to make a living, she had to turn to business and work in that field full of opportunities and challenges for several years.
It's hard to hide the beauty
In the battlefield-like competitive environment of shopping malls, Ding Lan went through a lot of hardships and finally relied on his perseverance and tenacity in 2006 to achieve remarkable achievements.
Today, she is over 60 years old, although she has achieved great success in the business world, her personal wealth is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, and she is respectfully called "Mr. Ding", but her old age is still difficult and drifting, and no one can share this loneliness with her.

Ding Lan used her life to interpret the persistent and innocent character of the "shepherd girl" in the "Shaolin Temple". Once upon a time, she was a well-known heartthrob and a popular movie star; It's a pity that the glory dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and she finally came to the end of her life alone.
However, as she herself said, life is not always picturesque, and when we encounter setbacks, we should be like her, grit our teeth and persevere, and never give up. Only in this way can you finally display your talent and brilliance on your own stage.
The glory of the past has become an eternal memory, and she has now come to the end of her life, but the will to never admit defeat is worth remembering and learning from forever.
