In the bustling streets of Sydney, bustling pedestrians rush by, everyone is fighting for their own lives, and Daniel Zhang is the most ordinary member of this crowd.
He wears a slightly worn overalls, a worn-out baseball cap on his head, and carries a box full of tools in his hand, which is what he now wears at a local factory.
If the fans who once followed him avidly saw it, they would be shocked. Back then, Daniel Zhang was a bright new star in the music industry and was known as the "guitar king".
The beautiful melodies played by his dexterous fingers have intoxicated and intoxicated countless people, but now the former superstar has to leave his homeland, struggling to survive in a foreign land, and live a life of poverty.
As night fell, Daniel Zhang walked back to his rented cottage alone. The furnishings in the room are very simple, except for a narrow single bed, an old-fashioned wardrobe and a low table.
He walked to the window, stared at the street scene outside the window, and fell into deep thought, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the thin curtains on his face, bringing him a hint of warmth.
Perhaps it was this ray of sunshine that awakened the memory in his heart, and Daniel Zhang couldn't help but pick up the guitar case placed next to him. He carefully pulled out the Spanish handmade guitar with a pearly sheen and gently plucked the strings.
Surprisingly, bits and pieces of the past came to mind in an instant.
Time seems to rewind to 1990, when Daniel Zhang had just turned 19. Despite his youth, he has already made his mark in the music industry, earning a reputation as the "Guitar King" for his virtuosity and unique playing style.
His success didn't happen overnight, but it was well deserved.
That year, a guitar album created and carefully produced by Daniel Zhang himself came out, shaking the entire music industry. The record company even held an unprecedented press conference for him, which went all out to put him in the limelight.
When Daniel Zhang held his beloved guitar and was interviewed under the spotlight, his handsome face, dashing temperament and profound knowledge all fascinated the people present.
When Mao Amin was fortunate enough to witness Daniel Zhang's remarkable achievements, she was as happy as if she had found a priceless treasure, and she did not hesitate to choose to belong to his team.
As a talented mentor, Daniel Zhang devoted himself to teaching the way of music and gave meticulous guidance to Mao Amin's singing skills.
Under Daniel Zhang's careful cultivation, Mao Amin's voice became deeper and richer, full of charm, and her singing voice became more mellow and intoxicating.
As the two communicate more and more frequently, an indescribable emotion quietly sprouts in their hearts. Daniel Zhang was deeply moved by Mao Amin's love and dedication to music, while Mao Amin was deeply attracted by Daniel Zhang's elegant and restrained temperament and extraordinary musical talent.
However, the turning point began when Mao Amin was suspected of tax evasion. As a hot star, Mao Amin's income can be described as huge.
However, her greed drove her to the idea of avoiding paying taxes.
During a routine inspection, the tax department was shocked to find that Mao Amin had not paid a whopping 237,400 yuan in personal income tax, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of money at the time.
In the face of inquiries from the tax department, Mao Amin was incoherent and could not give a reasonable explanation. Soon after, the scandal spread rapidly in the entertainment industry.
Major media have followed up with reports and pointed the finger at Mao Amin, a "big tax evader".
Almost overnight, Mao Amin's good image in the eyes of the public collapsed instantly, and he was questioned and criticized.
Just when Mao Amin was at a low point in her life, Daniel Zhang stepped forward and generously donated all his 240,000 yuan savings to help her pay all the taxes and fines.
Daniel Zhang even went to various tax departments in person, going through a lot of hardships, just to be able to restore Mao Amin's innocence.
In the face of such a deep friendship with Daniel Zhang, Mao Amin was full of gratitude, but at the same time, an unprecedented contradiction and guilt emerged. She began to reflect on whether she really deserved Daniel Zhang's such cherishment, and whether she should be steadfast in this feeling.
In this way, a sudden tax scandal made this already fragile relationship even worse, and the contradictions between the two intensified.
Mao Amin is obsessed with the pursuit of a music career, and Daniel Zhang is obsessed with endless wealth and their respective values have created an irreparable gap.
In the end, on a quiet night, Mao Amin's inner conflict could no longer bear, and she heroically and decisively made a choice that surprised Daniel Zhang deeply - break up! Daniel Zhang begged her to think again with tears in his eyes, but Mao Amin responded coldly: "Let's break up, I can't let my life be ruined."
In the face of Mao Amin's resolute attitude, Daniel Zhang was completely stunned. He had devoted himself to the relationship countless times, but he had never foreseen that she would leave him so resolutely.
Just as Daniel Zhang was immersed in pain, Mao Amin had already begun to pack his luggage and prepare to leave this once love nest full of laughter.
Mao Amin's bold decision plunged Daniel Zhang into an unprecedented abyss of despair. He tried all kinds of ways to save this relationship, and even after Mao Amin proposed to break up, he still proposed to her desperately, but Mao Amin's determination was made and she was determined to leave him.
Faced with the cruelty of reality, Daniel Zhang could only say goodbye to his hometown with tears in his eyes, wandering alone in a foreign land and going to distant Australia. He originally planned to start a new life there, but who would have thought that not long after he left, a long report entitled "Mao Amin's Black-hearted Boyfriend" went viral in a domestic newspaper.
The article depicts in detail how Daniel Zhang deceived Mao Amin's feelings and ruthlessly abandoned her after squandering her savings of more than 300,000 yuan.
The delicate narrative and strong critical tone instantly detonated the public's anger, and the spearhead of public opinion was directed at Daniel Zhang.
This was like a bolt from the blue, causing Daniel Zhang's reputation in China to plummet. People have accused this "scumbag" of being hypocritical and shameless, wantonly trampling on the sincerity of an innocent girl.
Even Daniel Zhang's closest friends doubted whether he was really as bad as the report suggested.
In response to the Daniel Zhang incident, Wang Kun's agent, the famous musician Cui Jian and other friends have stepped forward to defend the name of justice for him, unswervingly saying that he has always been an honest and kind person, and it is impossible to do such a despicable and obscene thing.
However, at this moment, Daniel Zhang, who was far away from the ocean, was no longer able to defend himself, and had to watch his reputation collapse instantly.
In contrast, Mao Amin skillfully reversed the public's negative perception of her in this public opinion turmoil. People no longer focus on her past "tax evasion" incident, but instead turn the finger to Daniel Zhang, the "culprit".
Mao Amin quickly seized the opportunity, carefully planned various topics, and successfully attracted the public's attention again through emotional manipulation, image building and other strategies.
Since then, she has regained her strength in the music scene, and with extraordinary luck and opportunity, she has gradually returned to the top of her career...
Thus, the life stories of two very different people began. Daniel Zhang lives an ordinary life in Australia, and the glory of the past has long faded.
He worked hard in the factory during the day and played his beloved guitar alone at night, reminiscing about the glory days of the past.
Mao Amin chose a new path in life. In 1989, she fell in love with the popular movie star Zheng Yang, and the film "Little Sunshine Beauty" co-starred in by the two aroused enthusiastic popularity from the audience as soon as it was released, which not only earned enough eyeballs, but also brought rich box office income to Mao Amin.
With the huge success of this film, Mao Amin's popularity and wealth have once again climbed to new heights. However, the good times are always short-lived, and Zheng Yang died in a car accident soon after.
Mao Amin had just tasted the joy of success, but she had to face the difficulties of her career alone.
Fortunately, just when she was in a state of confusion, a business tycoon, Xie Zhikun, quietly entered her life. Mr. Xie is a leading businessman with over $10 billion in assets and an outstanding entrepreneur who is passionate about philanthropy.
Xie fell in love with Mao at first sight, and he did not hesitate to take bold and passionate pursuits. This marriage quickly sprouted and entered the palace of happiness.
So, Mao Amin, who once worked hard with his musical talent, stepped into a wealthy family in an instant and lived a carefree life as a noblewoman.
However, fate is always so cruel and ruthless, just when Mao Amin has made brilliant achievements in career and love, a sudden blow once again threw her to the ground.
In 2021, her beloved husband Xie Zhikun passed away due to illness, leaving behind an inheritance of tens of billions of dollars, which undoubtedly triggered a fierce power struggle within the family.
In the end, Mao Amin received only a tiny fraction of it, a world of difference compared to the vast business empire that Xie had built during his lifetime.
Since then, this former superstar who shined on the stage had to rein in his bright light, return to his family, take on the responsibilities of his mother, and occasionally participate in some public welfare performances.
The vagaries of life are truly embarrassing, and in just a few decades, she has fallen from the clouds to the abyss.
The years have passed in a hurry, and 33 spring and autumn have passed in a blink of an eye. Daniel Zhang returned to his hometown with the eager expectation of regaining his musical dream. However, the doubts and criticisms of public opinion followed closely like a shadow, bothering him all the time.
After all, only the parties themselves can truly understand the merits and demerits. However, there is no doubt about one thing, and that is that to this day, Daniel Zhang is still waiting for Mao Amin to sincerely say "I'm sorry".
In the past 33 years, he has endured silently, and he has done his best to regain the glory of the past with his musical talent. However, fate always seems to play tricks on people, and his wish has not been fulfilled to this day.
Perhaps, this is the final outcome of the grievances and hatred between him and Mao Amin.
O fate, it mocks everyone mercilessly. Those glorious achievements are now just a flash in the pan. The only thing that is eternal and unchanging is the impermanence and reincarnation of the human world.
