Preface
Can beauty and career be the best of both worlds? For Chen Tingxin, a former champion of Miss Hong Kong, this seems to have become an ideal that she has been pursuing but is difficult to achieve.
What ups and downs and twists and turns have her life experienced under her glamorous appearance? Let's trace her past to solve this puzzling mystery.
From "Sister Hong Kong in Public Housing" to "Billion Girlfriend"
Born in 1987 into an ordinary family in Shunde, Guangdong, Chan grew up in a cramped police quarters in Wong Chu Hang, Hong Kong Island.
Despite her humble beginnings, she has had her dreams sewn deep into her heart since she was a child - she hopes to one day stand out in this cosmopolitan city with her talent and beauty and become a star in the limelight.
After graduating from Secondary 3, Chan went to the United Kingdom to study for a bachelor's degree in environmental science at the University of Manchester.
After returning from school, she did not rush to a normal job, but worked hard in a consulting company and a suit store to accumulate life experience.
What's even more commendable is that at the age of 24, she even opened a Japanese restaurant on her own to try to be a boss.
On the stage of Sister Hong Kong, her career is at an impasse
In 2010, Chen Tingxin's life turned a turning point.
With her elegant and generous demeanor and natural beauty with bright eyes, she won the champion of Miss Hong Kong that year in one fell swoop.
After winning this award, she should have started a new chapter in her life, but unfortunately, her hosting career soon came to an impasse.
First, because when she was hosting a news program, she made several incoherent slips of the tongue, which made the outside world question her hosting ability;
Second, perhaps because the hosting performance was not affirmed by the senior management of Wireless, and later Wireless only arranged for her to play some small roles, either a female corpse or a mistress of the third child, and even played a transgender person, obviously failed to display her due talent.
Gradually, she fell behind from the "new little flower" team back then, and was even once nicknamed "the worst Hong Kong sister".
Love is full of twists and turns
While struggling in her career, Chen Tingxin's love life is also full of twists and turns.
She first fell in love with Wireless Emperor William Zhai for five years.
The two have long been living together "in and out of pairs", but they have always denied and refused to admit each other's relationship.
When they finally broke up, they were in a good atmosphere, and you called each other "best friends".
Soon after the breakup, Chan almost seamlessly connected with another high-quality man - Hong Kong barrister Tong Wai-lun.
The relationship between the two was directly attacked by the paparazzi, and they were photographed watching movies together and going to the man's house to spend the Spring Festival together.
At that time, Tang Weilun also had a genuine model girlfriend by his side, and the relationship between the three made the Hong Kong media nickname "four-cornered freak love".
When the relationship with Tang Weilun also reached an impasse, Chen Tingxin's inner loneliness and confusion began to spread.
She begins to wonder if she is destined to spend the rest of her life alone in this city, when her soul is plunged into darkness and helplessness, and the appearance of Hong Kong's richest man brings new life to her.
Fall in love with a rich man and look forward to marrying into a wealthy family
Just when the outside world thought that Chen Tingxin's love life would come to a standstill, the appearance of Yang Zhenyuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, brought her new vitality.
In 2017, 31-year-old Chen Tingxin met and fell in love with Yang Zhenyuan.
For her, who was over 30 years old at the time, Yang Zhenyuan was undoubtedly a very good object: a net worth of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, a successful career, and what is even more rare is that Yang Zhenyuan praised her.
After the two made their relationship public, Chen Tingxin said many times that she admired her boyfriend most for starting from scratch, and sincerely admired his fighting spirit of "running for more than ten hours a day to find new customers", so she had an extremely good impression of him.
While falling in love with Yang Zhenyuan, Chen Tingxin also secretly hopes to marry into his wealthy family.
Therefore, during the relationship, she often posted the daily love of the two on social media, had frequent contacts with the man's family, and often took care of the housework and cooked for him.
Even if the other party has two sons, she is very receptive.
The rich man has many affairs, but she chooses to be tolerant
But who would have thought that six years have passed, but Yang Zhenyuan has not even made a marriage proposal.
On the contrary, Chen Tingxin was directly hit by the paparazzi again and again for beautiful photos of her boyfriend dating other women, and there were even rumors that Yang Zhenyuan and her best friend were ambiguous, which made the two good sisters turn against each other.
In the face of the scandal of Yang Zhenyuan's frequent derailments, Chen Tingxin behaved very lightly, neither angry nor sad, but looked magnanimous.
In this regard, she explained to the media that she is "neurotic" and often thinks about her boyfriend's every move, and the other party may be in a meeting or on other occasions, and this insecure anxiety is caused by her innate personality.
In fact, her inner struggle is understandable.
On the one hand, she is eager to marry into a wealthy family and live a comfortable life; On the other hand, how can she tolerate her boyfriend's frequent cheating and abandonment of herself? In the cracks of this contradiction, her heart is sometimes churning, sometimes calm, like a small boat on the sea, drifting with the tide and not knowing what to do.
Compromise your life and make rational choices
In the face of the scandal of Yang Zhenyuan's frequent stealing of food, Chen Tingxin behaved very lightly, neither angry nor sad, but magnanimous.
In this regard, she explained to the media that she is "neurotic" and often thinks about her boyfriend's every move, and the other party may be in a meeting or on other occasions, and this insecure anxiety is caused by her innate personality.
However, even so, she was still determined to wait for Yang Zhenyuan to propose to her.
After all, at the juncture of her 37-year-old life, Yang Zhenyuan gave her the luxury of a luxury house and a luxury car, and at the same time, she also held a property worth tens of millions of dollars in Yang Zhenyuan's hands.
In contrast, leaving Yang Zhenyuan to work hard in the city again may be too risky for her.
Therefore, Chen Tingxin chose a relatively comfortable way out, that is, to wait patiently, looking forward to marrying into the Yang family one day.
Did she compromise her life, or did she make a rational choice after weighing the pros and cons?
epilogue
Under the sun, there is always a shadow.
The pursuit of career success and a happy marriage by contemporary women is a commendable vision, but the reality often makes it difficult.
Chen Tingxin, a former Hong Kong sister, may be a vivid portrayal of this difficult choice.
Throughout the trajectory of her life, we see a girl from an ordinary background with great ambitions.
With her beauty and talent, she once stood at the peak of her career; She has also tried to work hard step by step in this city; has even fallen into and even fantasized about marrying into a wealthy family and living the life of a broad wife several times.
But in the final analysis, she finally chose a relatively "comfortable" path, temporarily giving up the pursuit of her career, and would rather wait to join a wealthy family.
Is this a compromise or a rational choice?
However, it is undeniable that in her heart to pursue her dreams, there must still be some regrets and unwillingness.
Let's wait and see, and hope that this woman with a bumpy fate can finally find an answer of her own on the road of life.
After all, everyone should have the right to pursue their inner dreams and live the life they want.
