Li Na, whose name once shone brightly on the Chinese music scene, had a soulful and infectious singing voice, however, just when her career was in full swing, she chose a different path - becoming a monk.
This decision not only shocked the entertainment industry, but also made countless fans feel regretful and puzzled. What is it that makes this superstar make such a shocking choice?
Struggle and pursuit in the red dust
Behind the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, Li Na has experienced two painful emotional experiences. Both relationships ended with the man being married, which made Li Na lose confidence in love and marriage.
She began to think about the meaning and value of life, whether she lived just for the pursuit of fame and affection?
After these blows, Li Na began to seek inner peace. She came to Tianmen Mountain in Shennongjia, Hubei, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, allowing her to find the long-lost tranquility.
She rented a wooden house here and lived an idyllic life of farming, picking, and painting. However, the media exposure shattered her tranquility, and in desperation, she chose to leave and go to the United States, where she was ordained.
Mother's concern and support
When the mother learned the news of her daughter's ordination, she immediately came to visit her and persuaded her to return to the world. However, Li Na calmly told her mother that this was her inner pursuit for many years, hoping to be understood and supported.
Seeing her daughter so resolute, the mother could only choose to accept this reality and move into the temple to accompany her daughter.
Life after becoming a monk
After becoming a monk, Li Na lived a regular and happy life. She chanted, meditated, and worked every day, finding a way of life that suited her. Time flies, and 26 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Although the outside world does not know much about her current life, many people are still puzzled by her choice.
Childhood misfortune and tenacity
Li Na's childhood was marked by many mishaps, and the death of her father left her suffering and discrimination. However, it was these blows that inspired her inner spirit of rebellion and the courage to chase her dreams.
She studied hard and was eager to change the status quo through knowledge. In addition to studying, she also has a soft spot for traditional art forms and begins to secretly cultivate her dreams.
After unremitting efforts, she finally stood out in the Academy of Chinese Opera and became an excellent Henan Opera actor. Later, she resolutely decided to leave the Henan Opera circle and chase another stage dream - pop music.
The road to chasing dreams
On the road to chasing her pop music dream, Li Na has also experienced many hardships. She used to wander in Beijing and faced the dilemma of not being able to find a job.
However, instead of giving up, she persevered. In the end, she stood out in a singer competition and became a superstar in the music world. Her singing voice spread all over the streets and alleys, and she became one of the most outstanding mainland female singers in the 90s.
Another choice in life
When the life in the bustling city could not bring inner satisfaction, Li Na chose to retreat to the mountains and forests and become a nun. This choice may be a way for her to be relieved and pursue inner peace.
As outsiders, we should respect her choice and sincerely wish her true happiness and enlightenment.
Li Na's story teaches us that there is more than one choice in life. When faced with adversity, we can choose to face it bravely and seek a new way out.
Whether it is continuing to struggle in the red dust or choosing to become a monk, it is a way of life, there is no right or wrong, only suitable and not. The important thing is that we are able to find our inner peace and contentment and live the life we want.
