Looking at the shocking news on the headlines of the entertainment section, we couldn't help but gasp. A powerful actress who was once in the spotlight passed away at the peak of her career at the age of 51. She has worked hard for many years, and finally stood in the center of the stage of her dreams with her life's work, but fate took her life so ruthlessly.
What's even more embarrassing is that even after her death, the family failed to give the last respect, but impatiently divided the poor family property she left behind. A tragic story that reflects the hardships of too many ordinary people in reality, which makes people sigh.
Background struggle
She was born in an ordinary family in Taiwan and her family was poor. In order to reduce the burden on her family, she voluntarily gave up her studies after graduating from junior high school. At a time when she should have been carefree, she had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. Her parents work outside the home all year round, and she has shouldered the burden of supporting her family since she was a child.
In order to earn a living, she enrolled in a health school to study nursing. As soon as I graduated, I quickly found a job, but the salary was meager, and it was still not enough to support my family. That's when an advertising agency owner spotted her potential and encouraged her to change careers to become a model.
Serendipity
As a nurse, she is quite popular in hospitals because of her sweet and gentle appearance. By chance, an advertising agency owner became her patient. The boss saw that she was outstanding, so he persuaded her to change her career to the modeling industry. Although she was apprehensive about this, she reluctantly accepted it for the sake of her family.
Since then, she has been busy at both the hospital and the advertising agency, and her income has grown considerably. Just when she was concentrating on modeling, a talent scout discovered her and opened up a new world of acting for her.
Valuable
thought she could display her talent on the stage, but the showbiz conspiracy and secret battle discouraged her. Her mother was extremely excited, regarded her as the "cash cow" of the family, and urged her to become a star. Under her mother's repeated entrustment, she finally entered the entertainment industry head-on.
Giving is finally the light of day
As an artist who has changed careers, she does lack some professional skills. But she made up for this deficiency with hard work, and it took less than a year to become an instant hit from an obscure small role and starred in a well-known film and television drama. In "The Legend of Xiang Shuai", the role of Bai Lian Nishang played by her is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Squeezed dry by the family
Despite her rising career, her life remains simple. Her family saw her as a cash cow and spent all her hard-earned money. Her salary has to support the whole family, as well as her brother's tuition and wedding expenses. Because she was too docile, she never refused any request from her family.
The last stubbornness
The long-term high-intensity work finally broke her body. In the 2016 flu season, she insisted on working for more than a week while sick. During a shooting, she suddenly fell to the ground and did not wake up, and after being sent to the hospital, she was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage caused by aggravation of pneumonia. After 11 days of ineffective rescue, she finally passed away at the age of 51.
Touchingly, before she passed away, she had privately signed a consent form for organ donation. Her body donated her organs to renew the lives of 8 strangers, showing her broad-mindedness and cherishing life in this way.
Self-defense and self-help for the family
Sadly, just before she died, her family couldn't wait to count the little property she left behind. The media photographed them dividing the estate with her death certificate, and did not miss this sister who had worked hard all her life.
Until the end, Meng Tingli failed to get the most basic respect from her family. Years of hard work in exchange for the ruthlessness of her relatives, her once simple dreams have come to naught, and she finally left us in this way, which makes people sigh.
Write at the end:
The bad news of a tragic actress has set off a wave of regret in the entertainment industry. She finally stood at the peak of her career with her life's work, but fate took her life so ruthlessly. What's even more distressing is that even after her death, her relatives failed to give her the last dignity, but rushed to divide her inheritance.
Kindness and tolerance are not always virtues, and overindulgence will only lead to a situation from which you will never recover. Meng Tingli's life is destined to make people sigh, but I hope that her story can trigger the society's attention and reflection on this kind of family tragedy, and avoid more Meng Tingli-like encounters from happening again.
