Maggie Cheung: The heart of freedom
When it comes to representative actresses in the Chinese film industry, we often think of those gorgeous actresses, who are either emotionally rich theater performers or industry veterans who have been honed for many years. But in this dreamlike world, there is one actress who does not stick to conventions, and she is Maggie Cheung, an existence known for her free heart.
"Happiness does not require any form of attachment, happiness comes from inner contentment and peace." These are Maggie Cheung's words in an interview, and they are also the reason why she chose to live alone. In a society where marriage is regarded as the ultimate goal, 59-year-old Maggie Cheung still chooses a life without contention. Her choice was not due to her disgust with marriage, but from the pursuit of inner freedom. This kind of courage is not something that everyone can have.
Maggie Cheung's solitary life is not synonymous with loneliness, but a way to talk to herself. Every morning, she brews a cup of fragrant coffee and enjoys the tranquility of being alone. In the afternoon, she would open a book, immerse herself in the world of words, and have a conversation with the masters of literature. At night, she strolls through the streets of the city, feeling the pulse of life. These seemingly ordinary moments are precious fragments of her dialogue with herself.
