It is not love of wind and dust, it seems to be mistaken by the predecessor. Flowers fall from time to time, always the eastern monarch.
To go is to go, and to live is how to live. If the mountain flowers are planted with flowers, do not ask the slave to return.
On the evening of December 19, the Hong Kong entertainment industry exposed the shocking melon.
Metro Radio has reduced the salaries of its artists one-size-fits-all, and many star artists have been implicated.
Among them, Zhang Mari, the 75-year Hong Kong sister champion who played for Xincheng Radio for 26 years, was ruthlessly swept out by the owner.
Stunned, Zhang Mari immediately applied to the management of Metro Radio, hoping to continue to stay with zero salary. Unexpectedly, the other party unceremoniously rejected it.
Zhang Mari, who was full of grief and indignation, immediately announced on IG that the program she hosted, "100% Zhang Mari", was suspended, and told netizens: She will no longer cooperate with Xincheng!
If it weren't for this play, the pickpocket sister wouldn't have written Zhang Mari at all. Because her story is well known to the world, there is no gossip that the melon-eating masses are interested in.
People familiar with the Hong Kong entertainment industry know that she is a Hong Kong sister champion and Bruce Lee sister-in-law, with a legendary life experience, but she is too low-key.
But all this is not like it was, but it is already what it was.
Often sigh: When the times abandon you, you don't even say goodbye!
Where should we start with Mary Zhang's story? Originally from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, she was originally born into a prominent family, but was brought to Hong Kong by her mother.
Soon after Zhang Mari was born, she was abandoned by her parents and reduced to a homeless street child.
Poverty and hunger followed, and living became the most urgent wish of Zhang Mari in childhood.
"It is difficult to buy a young and poor person with a thousand dollars", and the life of displacement and living in an uncertain place has honed Zhang Mari's tenacious character.
At a young age, when she faced reality, she already understood the impermanence of fate.
After entering the 1960s, Hong Kong's economy began to take off, and "street children" like Zhang Mari began to attract people's attention.
At the age of eight, Zhang Mari entered the orphanage with the financial support of well-wishers. Here she not only has a place to settle down, but more importantly, she has the opportunity to learn.
From the stairwell where the wind and rain leaked, to the orphanage where there is food, shelter and learning, Zhang Mari seems to have found a new heaven and a new place.
In this new world, Zhang Mari burst out of a high fighting spirit, during the study period she not only learned painting, writing, music, performance, business management and other professional skills, but also learned English, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and other Chinese languages.
From the age of 8 to the age of 21, Zhang Mari used 13 years of time optics to achieve the ability to settle down. After graduating, she became a diplomat at the Hong Kong Consulate in Nigeria.
At this time, Hong Kong has become the "Four Asian Tigers", the economic momentum is developing strongly, and the entertainment industry is in the ascendant. After Shaw took over the right to host "Miss Hong Kong" from the Retiro Nightclub, he strived to make "Miss Hong Kong" a Hong Kong business card.
In this context, Mari Zhang signed up for the "Third Miss Hong Kong Election" and was eager to train her eloquence, manners, makeup and other aspects through the pre-competition courses.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mari, who "unintentionally planted willows and willows", had no background, no special people to see the nomination, and did not have rich and famous people behind her back, actually won the championship all the way through the barriers.
Moreover, she is also known as "the most legendary champion in the history of Hong Kong sisters".
After winning the championship, Zhang Mari did not enter the entertainment circle like other beautiful women, or marry into the rich, but took the bonus and completed the university course of business administration.
Zhang Mari was 23 years old when she participated in the Hong Kong Sister Competition, and the Hong Kong sister who won the championship at this age was unprecedented, coupled with the blessing of her legendary life experience, Zhang Mari became the darling of the entertainment industry for a while.
However, Zhang Mari was not blinded by the sudden fame and fortune, she joined Jiayi TV station after entering the entertainment industry, starting from the choreographer and director to start with profit; later joined Li's TV station (the predecessor of ATV), and has worked as a host, emcee, screenwriter, director, actor and other jobs.
These film and television works such as "Lang Heart Like Iron", "Great White Shark", "Silkworm Change" and so on show their good performance skills; variety shows such as "Bringing It to Justice", "Doctor and You", "100% Zhang Mari" and so on, highlighting Zhang Mari's unmatched ability to control the field.
At the same time, Zhang Mari is also a famous painter, writer, philanthropist, educator and social activist, and she is the only Miss Hong Kong in the history of Hong Kong Sisters to win the "Hong Kong Top Ten Outstanding Youth" title.
In the relationship between Zhang Mari, the most enjoyable thing is her love with Bruce Lee's younger brother Dr. Li Zhongchen. The two were married in 80 years, when Zhang Mari was willing to sacrifice her acting career and live the life of a husband and a godson at home.
If the story continues to develop like this, the pair of Zhang Mari and Li Zhongchen is definitely an enviable entertainment industry story.
In the 1990s, the relationship between the two broke down and they finally signed a divorce in 1995.
Being abandoned by her parents at an early age has become an eternal pain in Zhang Mari's heart; in middle age, she and her husband were separated, which brought a huge blow to Zhang Mari.
But this stubborn woman did not succumb to fate, but began a journey of struggle with fate.
After the divorce, Zhang Mari opened a company, held art exhibitions, wrote columns, and did charity, and after her comeback, she joined the Relatively Weak New Town Radio station in the Hong Kong film and television circle, burning her 26 years here.
She thought she could grow old at Metro Radio until she couldn't do it herself. Unexpectedly, the owner is ruthless, and the people are even more ruthless - Zhang Mari used the way of preferring not to get paid, and in the end she failed to stay.
Is it because she's not good enough and not working hard enough? Zhang Mari's life is a legendary life, an inspirational life, and her ability and strength do not need to be proven.
Is NewTown Radio ruthless and the entertainment industry ruthless? Although the new city radio station has been shaken, many star artists have been cut in salary, but after all, there are still many people left.
It is this era that is ruthless, and it is this era that abandons Zhang Mari.
When Marly Cheung joined Metro Radio, the Hong Kong entertainment industry had begun to decline. After entering the new century, Hong Kong film and television have taken a sharp turn for the worse, and they have long ceased to be "the courage of the past."
TVB, ATV and other strong opponents are still struggling, not to mention the New Town Radio, which is surviving in the cracks?
At the same time, the recovery of film and television in various regions of Southeast Asia, coupled with the rise of mainland film and television, has also caused a huge impact on Hong Kong film and television.
Coupled with the decline of Hong Kong's veteran artists, film and television companies urgently need young star artists and Internet celebrity anchors to grab traffic, and Zhang Mari is abandoned by the times, which is a normal thing.
Mari Cheung was abandoned by the times, which is not unique in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Affected by special circumstances this year, a large number of veteran artists in Hong Kong have lost their jobs, a large number of well-known veteran drama bones have not received notices, and TVB, ATV and other film and television companies have drastically reduced salaries and laid off employees, which has become a very common phenomenon.
Some star artists, or with our yearning and jianghu, left the screen;
Some film and television actors, or choose to go north, restart their career journey in the mainland;
Some were simply forced to change careers, waving their hands without taking away a cloud.
Of course, for Zhang Mari, acting is only a small part of her career, and she neither needs to rely on this to support her family, nor will she rely on this to seek fame and profit.
What she didn't understand was probably just some lamentations and loneliness after being abandoned.
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the front wave is slapped on the beach by the back wave.
In the face of the tide of the times, any individual is irreversible. But in the development of the times, some people have worked hard, struggled, and shined, and what is worth letting go?
A person in a lifetime, can be a long wind to see the end of the world, or a river wide cloud low broken goose called the west wind.
A person, even if he is abandoned by the times, should not be wronged by himself.
Don't ask who is the tide of the times, just ask whether you have done your best to work hard in this era.
Since you have worked hard, you will have no regrets.
Bless Zhang Mari, and also bless you who work hard in front of the screen.
