Marguerite Duras's affectionate words in The Lover seem to set the tone for Helen's life story: "I love your devastated face more now than when you were younger." ”
This is not only a praise for the face, but also a tribute to the tenacity and charm that have been precipitated over the years. When I set out to paint a picture of Ma Helen's life, this sentence was like a beacon that illuminated her extraordinary life.
Flipping through the photos of Ma Helen from youth to twilight, the passage of time has carved a deep imprint on her face.
However, what is amazing is that this actress, who is over 70 years old, not only has not been defeated by the years, but has become more and more radiant under the tempering of time.
On the glamorous stage of the film and television industry, there are beautiful women, but it is rare for an actress like Ma Helen to maintain an elegant figure, a good face, and a radiant look in her old age.
Ma Helen's beauty does not stop at her appearance, her inner cultivation and wealth accumulation are also admirable. When it comes to the topic of "wealth", she admits that she has been in her twenties since she started the process of buying a house.
This philosophy was deeply influenced by her mother, who taught her that having her own home was the cornerstone of a secure and stable life. Therefore, Ma Hailun has always adhered to the principles of frugality and financial management, and has taken "accumulating grain to prevent hunger" as the motto of life.
Even after becoming famous, she still maintained a simple living habit, and she was reluctant to throw away her socks when they were torn, and continued to wear them by sewing and mending them; Eat a boxed lunch in the crew, reluctant to drink expensive drinks outside.
It was not until after the age of 65 that she began to enjoy life, but she still maintained the virtue of frugality. The spark of Ma Helen's life is undoubtedly acting. Since her debut at the age of 15, she has been crawling in the film and television industry, creating one vivid role after another.
From her debut in "Mandarin Duck Swordsman", to the champion of the Hong Kong Jade Girl Election, to signing with Shaw Brothers to officially start her acting career, she has taken every step firmly and powerfully.
Although she has played a supporting role for a long time, she has never given up her love and pursuit of acting. After joining Jiayi TV at the age of 26, her acting career has ushered in a new peak, and she has performed well in works such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Crane Divine Needle".
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing in the acting career. With the collapse of Jiashi, her acting career has also temporarily fallen into a trough. But she wasn't discouraged by this and turned her focus to her family.
A few years later, she returned to the screen with a more mature and steady attitude, and created a deeply rooted role in many TVB TV series.
Her superb acting skills and deep understanding of the role made her one of TVB's well-known supporting actors, and finally won the Outstanding Actor Award at the 46th "Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony" in 2013.
In addition to her acting career, Ma Hailun's spare time life is also colorful. She loves sports, horseback riding, bowling, skiing, golf, mountain climbing, etc.
Especially in bowling, she has not only achieved excellent results - she represented Hong Kong in the Asian Bowling Championships and won the second place in the women's category; In the process of bowling, she met her true love, Mr. He Shiyao.
The two entered the marriage hall after four years of love, and had a son and a daughter, and their family life was happy.
Ma Helen's life is a model of stability and sobriety, she has always adhered to her dreams and principles, and while constantly pursuing progress in her acting career, she also pays attention to personal cultivation and wealth accumulation.
Although she is over 70 years old, she still maintains her love for life and the persistent pursuit of her career, and her life story is undoubtedly the best interpretation of "aging gracefully".
