There was silence, and a breeze blew, as if telling a story of the vicissitudes of the past. After the once bright and dazzling Hong Kong stars quit the entertainment industry, they left the control of the spotlight and lived an unknown life.
However, recently, a set of photos circulated on the Internet, which caused the consternation of countless people - Zhang Min, who was once peerless, is now skinny, losing weight to the point of more than 70 pounds, and the whole person looks decadent. She has changed so much that it is difficult for the outside world to recognize the style of the past.
Counting the Hong Kong goddesses of the year, Zhang Min is undoubtedly among the best. That iconic "wink-wink" move is still impressive today. Although she was originally just a small supporting role, with her neat appearance and lively and lovely personality, she quickly won great popularity among the audience and became an out-and-out first-line popular actress.
But as the years go by, too many of the past have vanished. Today's Zhang Min can no longer see the heroic posture of the past, but instead there is a hesitation and decadence. The classic melon seed face also seemed to have been drained of all the blood, and the whole person looked skinny and bloodless, like a walking living dead.
In an interview with an Internet celebrity blogger, Zhang Min was wearing a black beret and vest, although the dress looked quite fashionable, but her haggard face and bony figure made people feel extremely distressed. She is now 165 centimeters tall and weighs only more than 70 pounds, and her weight loss has reached a worrying level.
So, how did Zhang Min fall from the popular flower girl to such a difficult point? The reason is mainly due to her devout belief in Buddhism and the extremely vegetarian lifestyle that comes with it. This once glamorous goddess is now far away from the hustle and bustle with her boyfriend and settled in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Thailand.
It's quaint and tranquil, and you can feel a strong Buddhist faith flowing through the air. However, Zhang Min has apparently implemented the Buddhist concept of abstinence into all aspects of life. The root cause of her weight loss is that she has been on a long-term vegetarian diet for many years, which has led to the inability to properly supplement nutrition.
Even though she is over half a hundred years old, she still maintains a pious pilgrimage habit, and she and her boyfriend go on a pilgrimage to Shangri-La and other places every year. While a group of former friends in the film and television industry have long since grown old and are enjoying retirement, Zhang Min seems to be living in another world, and the whole person looks thinner and thinner, and even has some signs of malnutrition.
But despite this, Zhang Min herself seems to be enjoying it, as long as she meets fans, she will take photos enthusiastically, and her calm and generous demeanor reveals her inner indifference and calmness. Perhaps, in her view, the way of life today is a way to return to the basics and re-embrace the Buddha-nature in her heart.
Once upon a time, Zhang Min was also a member of the powerhouse. In the eighties and nineties, she was infinitely beautiful, with continuous film and television works, and her cooperation partners also included Jet Li, Stephen Chow and other first-line superstars. The credit behind it is, of course, also due to her financial owner - Xiang Huasheng.
It was with Xiang's vigorous support that Zhang Min was able to stand out in that era and became one of the few innocent actresses who did not have scandals at that time. Although the relationship between the two has left a lot of suspicion to the outside world, it is obvious that Zhang Min still chose "the one who knows the times is Junjie". After Xiang's death, her career also went downhill.
After that, Zhang Min moved to the shopping mall and started a new chapter in her life, but on the emotional road, she never met the true son of heaven again. She fell in love with two boyfriends younger than herself, but they all died of illness for various reasons, and finally wandered to this day.
Perhaps it was precisely because the emotional path was so miserable and decadent that Zhang Min decided to embark on another path of cultivation to return to the basics. As she grew older, she became more and more peaceful and devoted herself to her devout belief in Buddhism. And now it seems that she has completely freed herself from the red dust.
In the blink of an eye, the former Hong Kong goddesses have also entered their twilight years, and most of them have retired from the screen. Zhang Min is the only one who still lives in his own world and lives a quiet life without fighting with the world. Even if he is thinner and looks terrifying, he is still happy to live his life.
I don't know if this is a relief or a complete renunciation. But for her, who once drove hundreds of millions of people crazy, today's days are the most meaningful.
