It was an ordinary night in April 1990, when the popular actress Carina Lau was invited to play cards at the home of her friend Zeng Zhiwei. Little did she know that this would completely change her life.
When Carina Lau drove to the mansion where Zeng Zhiwei lived, she suddenly spotted a suspicious tailgating car, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart, and accelerated to get rid of the tracker, but lost control at the intersection and crashed into the guardrail on the sidewalk.
Just when Carina Lau was in shock, three gangsters with weapons suddenly appeared and carried her straight into another car.
"Help! Carina Lau's desperate cries attracted residents to call the police, but it was too late, and the black car carried Carina Lau and disappeared into the night. The gangsters illegally detained Carina Lau for more than three hours and inflicted brutal abuse and violence on her.
More than three hours later, a down-and-out figure suddenly appeared in front of Zeng Zhiwei's mansion. This is Carina Lau herself, her face is bloodless, her expression is in a trance, she is dirty, she can't even stand steadily, and she seems to have been greatly traumatized.
When the police arrived, Carina Lau said nothing about what had happened to her, her expression was sluggish, her words were fragmented, and she insisted that the kidnappers did not harm her and were unwilling to hold her accountable.
But her pale face and languishing state speak for themselves.
This sudden kidnapping changed Carina Lau's life and became a shadow that she can never erase. Although outsiders don't know what she has experienced, they can imagine what kind of scars an elegant and beautiful actress will leave when she is trampled on like this.
This nightmare made Carina Lau's personality change greatly, from a cheerful and unrestrained girl to a withdrawn and sensitive overnight. What's even more distressing is that this matter has become an unsolved mystery, and the truth is buried forever by the gangsters and Carina Lau herself.
That sudden kidnapping caused unimaginable trauma to Carina Lau, who changed from a cheerful and sunny girl to a withdrawn, sensitive and neurotic person.
She hid at home all day long, refusing to contact the outside world for fear of another horrific kidnapping.
Boyfriend Tony Leung saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He understands what kind of mental trauma Carina Lau has experienced and needs time to heal, but he doesn't want to see Carina Lau just collapse.
So Tony Leung always waited by Carina Lau's side, always caring about her mood, afraid that she would have negative thoughts alone.
Tony Leung told Carina Lau that no matter where she wants to go, he will be by her side. As long as Carina Lau said a word, the two immediately left the entertainment industry and went to a distant place to live a life without contention.
Knowing Tony Leung's changes warmed Carina Lau's heart, and she felt for the first time that she was not alone. So Carina Lau plucked up the courage and gradually walked out of the door and began to work and live.
But the after-effects of the trauma made her extremely sensitive and clean.
Carina Lau began to have some strange Xi, she must have a bathroom in her home that belongs only to her own use, even Tony Leung cannot enter. When she goes out to stay in a hotel, she will replace all the sanitary facilities in the room in advance, for fear of being used by others.
Once, Carina Lau's friend Shu Qi came to the house as a guest and inadvertently used Carina Lau's private bathroom, but Carina Lau couldn't sleep all night, so she found someone to redecorate the bathroom the next day.
In the face of Carina Lau's bizarre quirks, Tony Leung never felt bothered, he always guarded Carina Lau and took care of all her daily life. Tony Leung thinks that after experiencing such mental trauma, it is understandable that Carina Lau has these sequelae.
He is willing to give everything to make up for Carina Lau's trauma and make her happy again.
Time has passed, Carina Lau has gradually stepped out of the shadow brought by the kidnapping, her career is back on track, and her life has regained her smile. Who knows that the good times will not last long, and this joke played by fate on her is far from over.
In 2002, a gossip magazine in Hong Kong called "East Weekly" suddenly broke out a set of photos, the content of which was the tragic situation when Carina Lau was kidnapped 12 years ago.
In the photo, Carina Lau is full of tears, looks frightened, disheveled, and is being humiliated.
As soon as this set of photos was exposed, it immediately caused a huge shock in the entertainment industry. Carina Lau, who was working on the set at the time, received a phone call, her eyes were dark, and tears came out of her eyes.
She couldn't believe that the secret she had worked so hard to bury would see it again twelve years later.
Carina Lau suddenly broke down and cried bitterly, she felt like someone was stripped naked on the street and paraded in public. This unbearable humiliation made Carina Lau no longer able to face the crowd, hiding in her room all day and being heartbroken, and even had the idea of suicide again.
Soon, Carina Lau's friends learned the bad news. They have come forward to support Carina Lau and strongly condemn "East Weekly" for ignoring a woman's privacy and severely damaging her dignity.
With Tony Leung's encouragement, Carina Lau mustered up the courage to face this incident. She publicly acknowledged the authenticity of the photo, and finally let the truth about the absurd kidnapping come to light.
Under public pressure, the magazine was severely punished, sentenced to a heavy fine and suspended publication. But Carina Lau's heart is traumatized by no one can make up for it, and she can no longer have the sunny self-confidence she used to have.
It seemed like this nightmare would stay with her for the rest of her life.

In 2008, Carina Lau and Tony Leung finally entered the palace of marriage.
The two had a simple wedding in Bhutan, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and announced to the outside world that they had decided to practice infertility and become a Dink couple.
In this regard, it is rumored that this may be related to Carina Lau's early years. She was no longer able to take on the responsibilities of being a mother and feared that her trauma would affect her children.
After marriage, Carina Lau and Tony Leung lived a life of almost seclusion. They share a set of utensils, are inseparable, and live a life without fighting. Tony Leung put down his career and just wanted to do everything to take care of Carina Lau's wounded heart.
In this way, they lived in isolation for a while. But just as the two were about to fly away, the media began to fabricate the news that Tony Leung had an illegitimate child in an attempt to damage their relationship.
In the face of the scandal, Carina Lau and Tony Leung both behaved lightly. They ignored it and didn't intend to explain anything. The husband and wife have a clear mind and know the truth and falsehood.
