The April cold in Beijing has not completely faded, but the warm breath of the sun is like a fire, indicating that the hope of spring is just around the corner. In the afternoon of this day, at the door of the bustling Century Theater, a middle-aged woman in a hurry flashed.
This lady, who is nearly fifty years old, should have been in the prime of life, but the years have ruthlessly carved deep marks on her face.
Her face was covered with deep wrinkles, her eyes had lost their former brilliance, and the corners of her mouth were sunken downward, as if she could no longer show a smile.
What was even more shocking was that her facial muscles were as stiff as death, and even if she struggled to squeeze out a smile, it seemed so stiff and deliberate.
Back then, this middle-aged woman was the high-profile "national daughter-in-law" - Niu Li. At that time, with her excellent acting skills and unique personal charm, she co-starred with comedy master Guo Donglin in the sketch "One Sentence Thing" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which won warm applause from the national audience.
At that time, Niu Li was delicate and moving, slender and straight, and was known as the representative of "goose egg face".
However, now, the "goose egg face" that once made hundreds of millions of viewers fall in love with it has disappeared, and has been replaced by a daunting "snake spirit face".
The audience couldn't help but sigh, how did Niu Li slip from the top to the current situation? She herself knows that all this stems from the wrong choice many years ago, and she made mistakes again and again, and finally plunged her into the abyss from which she will never recover.
Recalling the innocent, lovely, and carefree self in the past, Niu Li's heart is now full of endless remorse and self-blame. Facing the hideous and terrifying face in the mirror, her heart seemed to be torn to pieces, and she was in pain.
Tears blurred Niu Li's vision, and her thoughts gradually drifted back to that sunny youth. At that time, she was still a vibrant and energetic girl, full of endless longing and expectations for the future.
For Niu Li, who was born in a scholarly family in Beijing, her family background can be described as unique. His father was a soldier, and his mother was a well-known shooting instructor at home and abroad.
Growing up in such a family background, Niu Li's athletic talent has been shown since she was a child, especially full of love for swimming and outdoor activities.
At the age of 13, with the full support of her mother, she was sent to a professional swimming training institution for in-depth study. Although the initial hard training was almost unbearable, with perseverance, she quickly overcame all kinds of difficulties, improved her swimming skills, and finally successfully selected for the national synchronized swimming team with excellent results.
Niu Li, who is in the prime of her youth, coincides with the golden age of China's vigorous development of sports, and she can almost be said to be the "lucky one" who walks with honors and championships.
She recalls winning the national synchronized swimming team championship for the national team at the age of 13, and the sense of accomplishment that comes from hard work still haunts her to this day.
However, good times are always short-lived. For a variety of reasons, the team she played for had to face the dilemma of disbanding. This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Niu Li, who was still young at the time.
However, she was not discouraged by this, and with the encouragement of her mother, she returned to the field of shooting sports, and won the gold medal in the national competition in less than two years, which was widely recognized by the industry.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people, and just when Niu Li was looking forward to opening up a wider world for the shooting sports career, her shooting team also suffered the fate of disbanding.
This time, 17-year-old Niu Li is completely confused, and she begins to feel confused and helpless about her future.
At this low point in her life, it was her father who took her into the cinema and relieved her daughter's anxiety and tension through a relaxed and pleasant movie atmosphere.
In front of the bright screen, Niu Li saw those shining actresses, as if she had rediscovered the innocent dream she shared with her companions back then - to become a high-profile star.
So, without hesitation, she decided to leave the world of sports and devote herself to the Military Art Academy, where she studied in depth the professional knowledge of performing arts.
After several years of baptism, Niu Li has gradually stood out in many film and television dramas such as "Empty Mirror" and the Spring Festival Gala sketch "One Sentence Thing" with her excellent professional skills and unique personal charm, officially embarked on the road of acting, and opened a new chapter in her life!
Just as her career was booming, Niu Li's life had also undergone earth-shaking changes. As an "old" actress in her thirties, she resolutely chose to enter the palace of marriage, give birth to a new life, and write a new chapter in her life.
This move undoubtedly made Niu Li's relatives and friends dumbfounded. As we all know, in the highly competitive entertainment industry, women in their thirties have been classified as "advanced maternal age", and the risk of childbirth is so high that it is worrying.
In the face of the admonition of relatives and friends, Niu Li firmly said: "I have been working hard for my career for many years, and now I am indeed of marriageable age, and I am eager to have a warm and happy little family."
In the face of Niu Li's determination, relatives and friends can only reluctantly respect her choice and give full support and best wishes. Soon after, Niu Li successfully became pregnant and gave birth to a lovely daughter.
The childbirth process was extremely difficult for Niu Li, and her life hung by a thread several times, but every time she stared at her daughter's tender and lovely face, all the pain seemed to come to naught in an instant.
Looking at her daughter, Niu Li couldn't help crying with joy, and from then on she was determined to be a good and conscientious mother. "Mom's age has added a lot of burden to you!" Niu Li often joked about her daughter, she loved this precious treasure very much, and was willing to give everything.
However, before the joy faded, Niu Li suffered an unprecedented physical and mental devastation. Due to the effects of childbirth, her face and figure have severe sagging and sagging, and the massive loss of collagen makes her look as if she has aged more than ten years.
In order to restore her former appearance, Niu Li did not hesitate to invest a lot of time in various maintenance measures such as fitness exercises, beauty treatments, and nutritional supplements, but the effect was very small, and her prime gradually disappeared without a trace.
Facing herself in the mirror, Niu Li felt strange and frightened. Low self-esteem, anxiety, despair and other negative emotions spread in her heart, almost completely destroying her.
As an outstanding actor, the change in appearance will undoubtedly have a huge impact on his career, and Niu Li is facing an increasingly serious dilemma.
Faced with such a reality, plastic surgery, a word that had never appeared in her life, first appeared in Niu Li's thinking world, and she resolutely rejected this idea, convinced that "plastic surgery" was not an option worth trying.
However, as time passes, her anxiety gradually intensifies, and reason is eventually consumed by endless desires. Niu Li firmly decided that she must use plastic surgery to save her acting career and her deep pursuit of beauty.
The inner struggle lasted for a long time, however, the strong desire to regain her beauty and continue her career finally overcame Niu Li's reason.
She resolutely embarked on the road full of unknowns of plastic surgery.
At first, Niu Li only carried out some subtle "modifications", such as opening the corners of the eyes and raising the bridge of the nose, etc., all of which were relatively conservative.
After her initial surgery, her face was rejuvenated, as if she had regained her former glory.
When she saw her younger self in the mirror, she felt tremendous joy in her heart. With this successful start, she became even more greedy, and she underwent frequent microplastic surgeries, not only plumping up the apple muscles, but even changing the shape of the entire chin, and she was obsessed with this new "plastic face".
Former idol fans are even more crazy about Niu Li's new image, praising her for being beautiful and moving, like rejuvenation. Even Niu Li herself was a little intoxicated, convinced that this was the eternal beauty that truly belonged to her.
Her obsession with plastic surgery results grew to the point of completely ignoring the voices of doubt and opposition.
However, the frenzy did not last long. As the years passed, the fillers that had been injected into the body began to show. In particular, Niu Li's high bulging apple muscles and overly prominent nose bridge are more and more disturbing and uncoordinated.
To make matters worse, her facial muscles also began to stiffen, and she could no longer express her emotions as naturally and vividly as before.
Especially during the recording of the show, Niu Li often looked pretentious because of her stiff face, and the "national daughter-in-law" who was supposed to be dazzling turned into a worrying "zombie bride".
Every time she glimpses this distorted image again, Niu Li's heart will fall into the bottomless abyss of liver and intestines and remorse. She began to regret her impulsive and rash decision, but it was too late for her to go back to the prime of her life.
Niu Li could only endure the pain and maintain her only remaining professional dignity on the online live broadcast platform. However, every time she appeared in the live broadcast room, the overwhelming abuse and doubts attacked her like a beast, accusing her of being ruined and becoming a "plastic surgery monster".
In the face of these bitter words, Niu Li's heart seemed to be tormented by the sharp pain of ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, and she could no longer find the shining self-confidence of the past.
In fact, Niu Li is not the first star to go astray in plastic surgery, and she will definitely not be the last. In this entertainment industry, plastic surgery has become popular and has become an unstoppable trend.
Her colleague "Sketch Queen" Cai Ming is another typical case of tragic plastic surgery. In the past, Cai Ming had exquisite facial features, like a fairy descending from heaven.
However, under the ruthless destruction of plastic surgery, her originally ingenious face became unrecognizable, her eyes were dull and her face was swollen, just like the image of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" after his head was blown out, and it was almost impossible to identify his identity.
What's even more suffocating is that those once smash hit beauty stars have not escaped this catastrophe. For example, Chen Shu, who was once highly sought after, had an outstanding temperament, elegance and generosity at that time, and could be called a leader in the entertainment industry.
However, the good times did not last long, in order to pursue the so-called eternal youth, Chen Shu resolutely chose to undergo plastic surgery, but the result was that she became a "goldfish mouth", and the whole person completely lost her original noble temperament.
In addition, there are many popular actresses such as Zhang Ziyi , Cecilia Cheung , etc., whose appearance was unrivaled in the past and was the cornerstone of their career success.
However, they were too conceited and tried to maintain their youth forever with the help of medical cosmetology, but not only did they fail to do so, but they appeared with strange faces such as "Lin Shanshan's face" and "shovel mouth", which wasted the peerless appearance given by God.
Witnessing the tragic experience of these peers, Niu Li was heartbroken, and couldn't help but feel that the road to plastic surgery was actually extremely dangerous. She never expected that her momentary greed for beauty would bury her brilliant future.
Now reflecting on her original choice, Niu Li is deeply proud and satisfied, but it is actually an extremely ignorant and ridiculous behavior!
In fact, the main reason for the shocking consequences of cosmetic surgery is the extreme delicacy and complexity of the human facial structure.
Once an external force intervenes, it can cause stiffness of facial muscles, and in severe cases, it may even cause the entire face to become unrecognizable.
It can be seen that although plastic and cosmetic surgery techniques are quite advanced nowadays, it is still an unattainable dream to achieve 100% flawlessness without leaving any scars.
What's more, the negative effects of cosmetic surgery go far beyond that. Due to the trauma during the surgery, the cosmetic surgeon will have to face numerous complications in the future, such as facial spasms, skin necrosis, infection and inflammation, etc., which are killers lurking in the shadows and costing the cosmetic surgeon a high price in their lives.
Therefore, unless we have to, we must not lightly try this kind of risky "blinding" move.
