Shaohua is fleeting, and in an instant, Kou Shixun has entered the age of the sixtieth century. He stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself in the mirror, his hair was gray, his eyes were tired, and his hands hung limply at his sides.
This former film and television superstar is now in a difficult situation, and his life is in a state of poverty.
In order to maintain the basic necessities of survival, Kou Shixun had to continue to devote himself to the production of low-budget small TV series. Although he is in his old age, his acting skills are still superb, but in the context of fierce competition in today's film and television industry, it is difficult to obtain high-quality script resources.
He reluctantly accepted the offers of the crudely produced and mediocre crews, and after a hard day's work, he returned to his cramped rental house alone to spend every lonely night.
Kou Shixun looked around, the furnishings in the rental house were extremely shabby, and everything seemed so stretched. He leaned back in his chair weakly, and the reporter's question echoed in his mind: "Is your life happy now?" At that time, he could only barely squeeze out a smile, and replied against his will: "I am very happy."
Indeed, who could have predicted that he, who was once peerless, would now fall into such a bleak situation? Kou Shixun closed his eyes tightly, and the decision 27 years ago came to his mind - to marry Xu Lidan as his second wife, and this decision also doomed him today.
"If I hadn't indulged in that illusory happiness, maybe my later life wouldn't have been so miserable." Kou Shixun sighed deeply, and his hands fell weakly.
His gaze was dim, as if he had traveled back in time to the pivotal moment of that decision 27 years ago.
Going back decades, Kou Shixun was at the peak of his life at that time, his career was in full swing, and his future was bright. He was born in an ordinary family in Taiwan and has had the dream of becoming a movie star since he was a child.
Fortunately, he not only has a handsome and chic appearance, but also has excellent acting skills as a solid backing, and became a well-known film and television superstar overnight with a youth idol drama "Pure Love".
Just when his career was beginning to emerge, Kou Shixun tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Cui Qiyao. Cui Qiyao not only has a beautiful face and elegant temperament, but also has attracted attention since she was a child, and can be called the perfect goddess in the hearts of many men at that time.
The couple has been affectionate since childhood, and the relationship between husband and wife is like glue. Then a happy double happiness came to them, and a new life was born—that is, their bright and lively baby daughter.
However, the ship of life is not always smooth sailing, and a young, beautiful and energetic fitness trainer Xu Lidan unexpectedly intrudes into Kou Shixun's life. As a die-hard fan of Kou Shixun, Xu Lidan fell in love with this mature and stable actor at first sight and launched a passionate pursuit without hesitation.
At first, in order to protect his family, Kou Shixun politely declined Xu Lidan's kind invitation. However, Xu Lidan was unwavering and decided to devote himself wholeheartedly to this relationship, and was even willing to give up everything for this.
In the face of this fiery love, Kou Shixun couldn't resist it after all, so Xu Lidan became his second wife.
Time flies, and 27 years have passed quietly in a blink of an eye. When Kou Shixun entered the age of sixties, the contradictions between the two wives became increasingly prominent.
Cui Qiyao, as the original wife, has firmly grasped the economic power of the family since Xu Lidan moved in, and even hid a lot of private money in private, obviously ready to break with this "little three".
As expected, on an ordinary day, Cui Qiyao could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and resolutely expelled Xu Lidan and the two children born to her and Kou Shixun from the house.
This originally harmonious and happy big family became shattered in an instant.
In this way, Kou Shixun and Xu Lidan lost all their wealth overnight and had to live under the fence of others, living a life of poverty. In order to support his family, the former film superstar has no choice but to continue to devote himself to the filming of TV series to make ends meet.
However, the years are ruthless, Kou Shixun is already past the age of six, and the high-quality script naturally has nothing to do with him. He could only reluctantly take on some low-cost, poorly produced dramas, worked the set every day, and returned to a simple rental house at night, facing the poor living environment, his heart was full of helplessness and regret.
Once upon a time, he was a high-profile screen superstar, but now he has been reduced to running around for a living. Kou Shixun sat lonely in his chair, staring out the window at the dim sky, his eyes empty, as if telling the embarrassing past.
Time flies, and 27 years have passed in the blink of an eye! At that time, the famous Taiwanese actor Kou Shixun was in the prime stage of his acting career. In order to meet the needs of his two wives living together, he specially purchased a luxury villa in Taipei.
The residence is divided into three floors, and Kou Shixun shrewdly arranged for his wife Cui Qiyao to live in the master bedroom on the third floor, showing his status as a wife; The newly promoted Xu Lidan was placed on the second floor to live.
The first floor is a communal space for the whole family, where he and his wife share food, watch TV and have a light-hearted conversation.
So, the three of them began a unique life pattern of "upstairs and downstairs". Kou Shixun had to shuttle frequently between the two bedrooms every day, sometimes accompanying Cui Qiyao on the third floor, and sometimes going down to the second floor to visit Xu Lidan.
In order to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion, he even strictly controlled the length of time he spent in the two bedrooms, lest one of them have any doubts.
When Kou Shixun went out to work, the two wives were also able to get along harmoniously. Cui Qiyao is gentle and virtuous, and Xu Lidan is full of youthful vitality, they often work together in the kitchen to do housework, or lead the children to play happily in the courtyard, living together in harmony like biological sisters.
However, in fact, Cui Qiyao still has a deep sense of vigilance against Xu Lidan. In order to ensure her future financial security, she firmly controls the financial power of the whole family, secretly accumulates private money, and plans to have sufficient pension funds when she separates from Kou Shixun in the future.
On the surface, the family seems to be in harmony and order, with the three members living a carefree life. However, the truth is that the dark tide is turbulent, and contradictions lurk beneath the surface of happiness.
Kou Shixun had to travel between the third and second floors every day to mediate the dispute between his wives, but he was unable to resolve this deep-seated conflict.
Time flies, and when Kou Shixun looks back on the past, he has to admit that accepting Xu Lidan as his second wife was actually a wrong decision. Although it seems to be novel and exciting on the surface, in fact, there are contradictions that are difficult to resolve.
While the relationship between the three seems to be harmonious, potential rifts are always there. Kou Shixun has tried to mediate in the quarrels of his wives many times, but he has not been able to settle this deep-rooted conflict in the end.
"If I had only chosen one woman to be my wife, maybe I wouldn't have faced such a dilapidated situation in my old age," Kou Shixun shook his head slightly in self-deprecation.
He lamented the consequences of his pursuit of a moment of freshness and personal desire, that is, endless regret and reflection on the wrong choice on the long road of life.
Monogamy may bring a short-term burning of passion, but over time, its absurd nature will eventually be revealed. In this special family whirlpool, the relationship between Ms. Cui Qiyao and Ms. Xu Lidan is not sincere and warm, and they can only barely maintain superficial harmony at best; Mr. Kou Shixun, on the other hand, was under mental pressure from two directions and was firmly tied in the middle.
He never really experienced the stability and tranquility of marriage, but was tired of coping with the trivial disputes that day after day. Although the daily busyness made him taste a little sweetness temporarily, it was followed by endless mental torture.
When he stared at himself in the mirror and saw that tired face, Kou Shixun shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a deep sense of loss. He reminisced about who he used to be, when he was full of confidence and pride, thinking that he could control two marriages.
However, it now seems that this is nothing more than an illusory dream.
Time flies, and now Kou Shixun has entered the stage of old age at sunset. He looked around at the old and shabby furnishings in the rental house, shook his head weakly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I have entered the twilight of my life, and even if I regret it, I can't get it back." He muttered in a low voice, his hands hanging weakly to his side, and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness and melancholy.
Indeed, if it weren't for the ethereal thrills and selfish desires he indulged in back then, his life today might not be so difficult. However, the decisions of the past could not be changed, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to try his best to find a way to survive for himself.
"I just hope that by sharing my own experience, more people will avoid repeating my mistakes." Kou Shixun said earnestly, every sentence is full of sincerity, "A happy marriage should be based on mutual understanding and tolerance, not just the pursuit of unilateral possession and control."
Only by treating each other with sincerity can we win happiness, otherwise we will fall into an endless dark abyss and find it difficult to extricate ourselves.
Even though life is difficult today, Kou Shixun still sticks to his post and actively participates in this challenging society. The legendary stories he experienced contain profound life philosophies and lessons, which are enough to make people reflect deeply and gain enlightenment.
Because of this, every day he spends is of incomparably important value and profound significance!
