1. Looking back, I can't sleep in contemplation
Recalling the night of the Lantern Festival in 2024, Zhao Xun was on the gorgeous and dazzling stage of the Oriental TV station, and his mood was as complicated as mixed tastes. Wearing a set of exquisite Japanese kimonos all over his body, his hairstyle has been carefully designed, and the light makeup on his face is even more exquisite, and his heroic posture reveals a hint of soft charm, which has attracted countless audiences.
However, going back in time to the accident nine years ago, Zhao Xun still has lingering palpitations. At that time, he was in the golden age of his career, and frequently created an image of a tough guy with perseverance on the big screen.
However, fate is always so unpredictable, and a sudden accident makes him fall from the peak of his career to the abyss of life.
It was a stormy night in 2015, and Zhao Xun was filming a scene where he had to jump from a height. Due to the extremely low visibility at that time, Zhao Xun misjudged the height, and the impact when he landed was far beyond expectations.
He fell heavily to the ground, and the pain spread to his whole body in an instant. Zhao Xun clearly remembers that at that time, his pelvis was almost completely shattered, and his waist was also severely traumatized, and he even hovered on the verge of life and death for a time.
Luckily, doctors rushed to the rescue, and although he had to be fitted with three steel nails to fix his waist, his life was saved. In this way, from the peak to the trough, Zhao Xun's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
For the months that followed, he was confined to his bed for treatment, suffering unspeakable pain and mental devastation on a daily basis.
During that time, Zhao Xun even had deep doubts about whether he could return to the screen. However, just when he was in despair, the unwavering support of his family and friends became his driving force.
Since then, Zhao Xun has embarked on a long and difficult journey of recovery, gritting his teeth, forging ahead bravely, and overcoming the taunts of fate with tenacious perseverance.
When he returned to the screen again, the audience saw no longer the image of the iron-blooded tough guy of the past. Zhao Xun has undergone a great change in his heart, and he has begun to reflect on his life journey and think about how to cherish every moment in front of him more.
It was this inner transformation that finally pushed him to make the jaw-dropping decision to transform from a tough guy to a beautiful man.

However, the road to the summit is always difficult and dangerous, and the encounter of falling from the clouds is like a slap in the face, completely subverting his perception of himself, and at the same time leading him to embark on a new and unknown journey in life.
3. The great changes in life in 2015
All the turning points came on that stormy night in 2015. At that time, Zhao Xun was engaged in a drama that required him to jump from a height. Due to the dim light and extremely low visibility at that time, Zhao Xun misjudged the actual jump height, and the result was much higher than expected.
With a loud "bang", Zhao Xun fell heavily to the ground, and the severe pain instantly spread to every inch of skin in his body. He vividly remembers that his pelvis was almost completely shattered and that he had suffered severe injuries to his lower back.
On the way to the ambulance that was taken to the hospital, Zhao Xun even fell into a life-and-death dilemma for a time.
Fortunately, after the emergency treatment of the doctors, Zhao Xun finally gained a glimmer of life. However, he had to have three steel nails implanted in his waist for fixation, which caused him endless pain.
In this way, from the peak of his career to the trough of his life, Zhao Xun's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the months that followed, Zhao Xun spent all day in bed receiving treatment, enduring indescribable pain every day. Not only was he physically tortured, but he was also mentally devastated.
Once upon a time, he even began to wonder if he could stand in front of the screen again and replay the role of those hard-blooded tough guys.
For him, who has always been high-spirited, this is undoubtedly the heaviest lesson in life. Zhao Xun thought that he would always be young and heroic, but he didn't expect fate to play tricks on him like this.
However, just when he felt the most desperate, the support and encouragement of his family and friends re-illuminated his heart like a ray of warm sun.
Since then, Zhao Xun has embarked on a long and arduous road to recovery. He gave up too many precious things, but he never gave up his love for life. He gritted his teeth every day, carried out rehabilitation training, and endured the baptism of severe pain again and again, just to be able to return to the stage of life one day.
That's it, day after day, year after year, Zhao Xun completely conquered the merciless ridicule of fate with incomparable tenacity! When he stood on the fluorescent stage again, the audience was amazed that the image of the tough guy who once stood up to the sky had long been gone! However, after experiencing this catastrophe of life and death, Zhao Xun deeply realized the preciousness of life, and underwent earth-shaking changes in his heart, and began to think deeply about and reflect on his life.
It was this inner strength that ultimately pushed him to make a shocking decision.
Fourth, the internal motivation of the determination to transform
That life-and-death accident undoubtedly brought an unprecedented impact on Zhao Xun's life and career, but at the same time, it also gave him a new understanding and understanding of life.
After countless days and nights of painful torture, Zhao Xun began to reflect deeply on his past life. As a dedicated actor, he is always busy on the set of various dramas, and even has few opportunities to spend time with his loved ones.
Suddenly, it dawned on him how much he longed to spend more time with his family, rather than always making them worry about their safety.
Life is as short and fragile as a white horse, and Zhao Xun is determined in this accident to cherish and treat everything he has in front of him. He decided to change his old pattern of working all day and leave more time and energy for his family.
At the same time, in the long process of recovery, Zhao Xun also made in-depth reflections on his achievements on the road of acting. Although he has won many honors for his superb acting skills, he has always been dissatisfied with himself.
For a long time, he only received attention for being recognized by the audience for playing the role of a tough guy, but few people noticed his talent in other fields.
As an actor, too single image is bound to cause aesthetic fatigue to the audience. Zhao Xun is looking forward to challenging new roles and showing more diversified acting skills, so as to enrich his acting career.
Just when Zhao Xun was conducting in-depth reflection, a bold and creative idea gradually formed in his mind - why not try to transform into a "beautiful man"? If you can successfully create an image with a bit of femininity in masculinity, and a gentle image in toughness, it will definitely open a new chapter in your acting career!
Zhao Xun knew that this decision would undoubtedly bring shock and confusion to many people, but he had already strengthened his determination. As a man who bravely pursues his ideals, he will never let the rules of the past bind.
His life was so short and precious, and he had to do everything in his power to show his heart's content.
Therefore, under the affectionate encouragement of his family and friends, Zhao Xun resolutely embarked on a journey of self-"transformation". He waved goodbye to the strong and tenacious image of the past, and transformed into a "handsome man" who was both masculine and gentle.
This will be a new challenge in his life, but Zhao Xun is not afraid of it, but is full of endless expectations and enthusiasm.
