Recalling Ding Lan, the "chivalrous first sister" on the screen in the past, her current appearance is embarrassing. With her outstanding performance in the martial arts masterpiece "Shaolin Temple", she became a household name. The clean face, coupled with a green shirt dancing, provoked countless young men in the city to be fascinated.
Who would have thought that it was this much-loved "national wife" who was now alone and gradually forgotten in the torrent of years.
Counting Ding Lan's acting experience, it can be described as brilliant. In addition to the well-known "Shaolin Temple", she later starred in a series of masterpieces such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Thirteen Sisters of Chivalry", every time she appeared, she would cause a commotion among the audience.
What is especially memorable is her excellent tacit understanding with Jet Li in "Shaolin Temple". The two are intimate and seamless when performing action scenes in front of the camera, as if they are a pair of childhood sweethearts. As a result, the outside world began to speculate whether they had other relationships with each other.
It wasn't until many years later that Jet Li admitted frankly that there had never been any side entanglement between him and Ding Lan, and the two just got along well behind the scenes. It's a pity that this lover eventually became a family, but Ding Lan chose another fork in life at the peak of her career.
At the age of 27, while filming in Singapore, she met a wealthy businessman. The other party secretly promised that even if he spent a lot of money, he would pursue Ding Lan, a popular little flower. At first, Ding Lan also gave a polite refusal, but as time passed, she was eventually moved by the enthusiasm of the businessman and made a big life-changing decision.
That is to marry this Singaporean businessman, give up his Chinese nationality, and completely stay away from the Chinese film industry. For a while, this news caused a lot of shock in the circle, what kind of infatuation made Ding Lan so infatuated?
It wasn't until many years later that Ding Lan recalled the sweet love of the year and sincerely told the truth of the year. It turned out that although she had tried the knife for the first time at that time, she was still at an ignorant age deep down, and she was robbed of her reason by a belated "true love".
At that time, Ding Lan, who was young and beautiful and had a prosperous career, was really surrounded by countless suitors. She was also confused by this infinite pursuit of youth, and began to have some exaggerated ideas.
It was her weakness of being tempted by material and physical things that gave the merchant an opportunity. The other party spared no effort to bribe and pursue Ding Lan, and finally made Ding Lan moved, and mistakenly equated money and feelings.
A momentary impulse thus decided her fate. In order to marry the wealthy businessman, Ding Lan made up her mind and chose to leave her hometown. The "chivalrous first sister" in the Chinese film industry left quietly, and fans were all embarrassed.
Who would have thought that this seemingly desirable transnational marriage would become the fuse that destroyed Ding Lan. It didn't take long for the happiness of the newlywed Yan'er to discover the fact that her husband was having an affair. Overnight, the other party changed from a handsome and dashing rich man to a greasy scum, and he had no image in Ding Lan's heart.
After learning from the pain, Ding Lan finally saw the truth of the marriage and immediately chose to divorce. However, this gave her a fatal blow. The shame of a young divorce, coupled with the loneliness of being far away from home and country, made Ding Lan fall into a desperate situation for a while.
It was not easy to get through this haze and return to China to start again. But when she tried to return to her old business, the former film and television industry was unrecognizable. No matter how outstanding she used to be, now the industry has long since changed, and it no longer accommodates outdated "old drama bones".
As a waste wood senior, Ding Lan can only barely show a small role in some third- and fourth-line small productions, and his life has become stretched. In this way, a brilliant career was aborted, and the figure that once fought in stirrups is long gone.
Ding Lan's life seems to have fallen into a trough here. Luckily, she didn't give up and set her sights on the business world instead. With the little star aura that remains, coupled with the connections accumulated in her married life in the past, she successfully founded a clothing company in Beijing in one fell swoop.
On the road of entrepreneurship, Ding Lan has indeed experienced hardships. How many lonely and sleepless nights she has been thinking about how to keep the company alive. At the same time, she also relied on her keen sense of the market, gradually made the company's business bigger and stronger, and slowly accumulated a little wealth.
Finally, after many years of hard work, the company funded by Ding Lan gradually emerged, and the business spread to home and abroad, and she also reached the peak of her rich life. Today, Ding Lan has become a billionaire, as if he is a figure that is difficult for his predecessors in the circle to reach.
Money comes and goes, and in the hustle and bustle, Ding Lan has always been alone. Although there are achievements in the career, there is always something missing. It was not easy for her to climb to a high position, but now she feels that another emptiness in her life is gradually coming.
Ding Lan, who is over the age of six, now lives alone in a luxury villa in Beijing, but looking at the spacious home, the expression on her face reveals a faint melancholy.
She admits that although she has enjoyed all the glory and wealth now, she just can't find the fulfillment of her heart. This reminded Ding Lan of the huge price she paid many years ago in order to get a lost love. That year, Ding Lan left her hometown alone and gave up her most precious career and dream. It can be described as a desperate gamble, but what he asked for was in exchange for the destruction of his marriage, and the second half of his life was also bizarre.
Looking back now, Ding Lan is already full of emotion. Once upon a time, she was also a sought-after national wife, with infinite scenery, and everything smiled at her. But a thought made her lose her life, and finally became a rich girl with only wealth.
"If I hadn't made that decision for the sake of a momentary obsession, my career might not have been interrupted." Ding Lan stared out the window alone and muttered to herself, "Will I have become a superstar on the screen like Jet Li?"
Until this moment, even if the limelight has passed, she is still the dreamer of simple love back then. Maybe at some point in time, Ding Lan really fell in love with that rich businessman. will make the decision to change course and give up the achievements in his career.
"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely not leave my country easily and insist on going my own way." Ding Lan smiled self-deprecatingly, a trace of sadness appeared in the corners of his eyes, "Now, I am old, lonely, and there are no relatives and friends around me, and I am only left with a huge fortune." What kind of life is this?"
Yes, even if the environment is good now, Ding Lan still feels endless loneliness. Once upon a time, she was the darling of show business, with countless friends and fans all over the country. But now that she is in her twilight years, her old friends have long been separated, and she, a loser, has no children or daughters, and she doesn't even have a person to inherit the family.
This episode of Ding Lan is also thought-provoking. Although she still enjoys the privileges of material life, spiritual fulfillment has always been an indispensable component. How many people live to the twilight of their lives, and they will think about whether the choice of life was the right one?
This has made many outsiders begin to empathize. Is a lonely old age worth taking on an ideal, exchanging affection for a handful of money? Everyone's view of life may be different, but Ding Lan's experience undoubtedly gives us a thought-provoking case.
Because of this, Ding Lan has now lost her demeanor as a "national wife", and her mind has long been lost in reality and dreams. The image of the free-spirited and high-spirited girl has disappeared after experiencing too many vicissitudes of the world.
We wish Ding Lan, who has attracted countless people's yearnings, to let go of the obsession in his heart and learn to be relieved. Along the way, although mistakes often occur, as long as you live in the moment and treat life with a positive attitude, you will have the day when the sky will open.
Life is short for decades, but it is not easy to live calmly. Let's bless the former "shepherdess" Ding Lan to be able to find her own piece of sky in the second half of her life and fly higher and farther.
