In the bustling entertainment industry, there is such a girl, whose life is as ups and downs as a serial. She is Xinzi, who was once the "first love of the nation", but now she has faded out of the public eye.
Kaoko was born into an ordinary family, and when she was 14 years old, her father unfortunately passed away. The blow caused a lot of stress to her young man, but life didn't stop because of it.
An unexpected opportunity, perhaps a clever arrangement of fate, completely changed the trajectory of her life.
On that day, Kaoko went to the TV station to participate in the show instead of her classmates. Unexpectedly, this casual move opened the door for her to step into the showbiz. The agent of "Red Apple Paradise" was at the scene and was attracted by Xinzi at a glance.
The agent is keenly aware that Xinzi's image is highly in line with the character of the heroine "Xiao Qing" in the play - although her appearance is ordinary, her personality is distinct. Xinzi's unyielding and stubborn temperament is exactly what the role of "Xiao Qing" needs.
The agent was pleasantly surprised by Kaoko's versatile performance, especially in singing, she showed great talent and won many awards. These talents made Kaoko stand out from the crowd of candidates and eventually landed this important role.
In this way, Xinzi started her acting career. In "Red Apple Paradise", she played the role of "Xiao Qing" just right, showing her simple and pure, kind-hearted, and tenacious inner characteristics, which are perfectly reflected in Xinzi's interpretation.
Kaoko's performance touched countless audiences. Her baby face, her innocence, and her stubbornness and perseverance are all deeply engraved in the minds of the audience. Xinzi gradually became everyone's pistachio and became the first generation of "national first love" in the entertainment industry.
That's it, an ordinary family girl, through her unremitting efforts and outstanding talent, stood on the stage of all eyes. However, this is only the beginning of Xinzi's life story, and there are more hardships and challenges waiting for her on the bright star journey.
"Red Apple Paradise" was like a whirlwind at the time, which made Xinzi quickly reach the peak of her career. This youth coming-of-age drama tells the story of young people's years, although everyone may think that the plot is a bit old-fashioned now, but at the time, it deeply touched the hearts of countless boys and girls.
With her natural and fresh performance, Xinzi successfully created an unforgettable image of "Xiao Qing".
However, as soon as Xinzi became famous, doubts gradually emerged. Some people called her ordinary appearance, and even gave her an indecent title of "the ugliest heroine". What's more, she questioned that she was a "resource coffee", believing that she could get the leading role entirely because of her family background and relationship, rather than her strength.
These sharp criticisms are like invisible arrows, shot mercilessly at the young Xinzi.
Faced with overwhelming criticism, Xinzi's heart was deeply tormented. She began to understand that she is not a person who can gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry just by her appearance.
This realization made her determined to improve her acting skills, and she wanted to prove herself through her strength, although the media later clarified the rumors related to her family background, this experience still made Xinzi deeply feel the cruelty of the entertainment industry.
Even so, Xinzi's star journey is still bright. The success of "Red Apple Paradise" has brought her a steady stream of resources. Immediately afterwards, her agent summoned the original crew of "Red Apple Paradise" and filmed "Star Dreams".
At that time, Xinzi was very popular, and her status in the entertainment industry was comparable to that of Zhao Lusi and Yang Zi now, and the future was like a long road, full of infinite possibilities.
However, just when Xinzi's career was at its peak, she made a shocking decision: she wanted to study abroad, complete her studies, and enrich herself.
This decision is undoubtedly extremely risky in the eyes of others, because in the ever-changing entertainment industry, once there is any mistake, it is likely to be replaced by a younger newcomer, however, Xinzi has her own firm beliefs and pursuits deep down, and she is eager to further improve herself, not just a star with empty appearances.
With a thirst for knowledge, Xinzi resolutely decided to study abroad. She probably didn't expect that this decision would be a turning point in her acting career. When she returned from her studies and looked forward to creating another glory in the entertainment industry, the former glory could not be reproduced.
Huang Shengyi, the second female number one who used to act with her, has become a first-line actress, and Xinzi can only take over some small roles.
Kaoko's story doesn't end here, but ushers in a new chapter in her life. The once brilliant "national first love" is slowly fading its halo, but the popularity is not decreasing.
When Kaoko returns from studying abroad full of hope, she finds that she has been quietly forgotten by the entertainment industry. The glory of the former "national first love" is no longer there, and only some small roles are left for her.
This huge gap is a severe test for anyone.
Kaoko began to take on some small roles, making it clear that she was determined to prove herself again. She played the rabbit spirit Bai Xue in "Living Buddha Jigong", the little sister "Hong Shixin" in "The Temptation to Go Home", and also played the female number two in "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan".
Although none of these characters are the protagonists, Kaoko does her best to interpret them, striving to portray each character to the core.
Despite this, despite her hard work, she has never been able to return to the leading role. In this entertainment industry where appearance is king, Xinzi's ordinary appearance has become a major obstacle for her. Some directors even bluntly persuaded her to go for plastic surgery, but Xinzi resolutely refused.
She is reluctant to change her appearance for the role, and this insistence is both a respect for herself and a reverence for the profession of an actor.
In the face of the increasingly scarce opportunities for theatrical performances, Xinzi did not choose to give up. She began to try to play different types of roles, hoping to show her strength through a variety of performances.
In the work "Night World", she even challenged the role of "Little Three" that she had never tried before, fully demonstrating her acting potential.
However, opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce. On the stage she once knew, Xinzi seemed to have become an outsider, silently looking at others with brilliance. This huge gap is undoubtedly a heavy blow to a person like her, who was once beautiful.
However, Kaoko was not defeated by reality. She began to think about the direction of her life and seek new possibilities. Despite the bottleneck in her acting career, Xinzi did not give up her love for life.
She began to try a new way of life and find her own path in life, which was a difficult process, but allowed Kaoko to gradually find inner peace and a new position of self-worth.
Xinzi's acting career has been in the doldrums, and in order to make a living, she has to face the harsh reality and find a new way to survive. At this difficult time, Xinzi made a decision that surprised many people - to become a cosmetics cabinet lady.
The decision is undoubtedly difficult, and both the change of identity and this change is a huge test for anyone. However, Kaoko accepted the transformation with an admirable attitude.
One day, a fan named Liu Wei recognized Xinzi while shopping. Liu Wei was very surprised when he saw that the former "national first love" was now selling cosmetics behind the counter, but Xinzi's reaction was unusually calm.
She politely asked Liu Wei what she needed, just like an ordinary salesman At this moment, Xinzi showed extraordinary psychological quality and professionalism.
For the surprise and sympathy outside, Kaoko has her own opinion. She firmly believes that there is no distinction between high and low jobs, and that every job has its own meaning and value. Her attitude not only shows Xinzi's maturity and wisdom, but also shows her tenacity and open-mindedness in the face of life's ups and downs.
Despite the drastic changes in her life, Kaoko has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude. She began to enjoy a life free of constraints, free to travel and eat as much as she wanted.
This freedom made her feel more relaxed and happy than she had ever been.
In the process, Kaoko gradually found a new direction in her life and began to think about how to use her experiences and talents to connect with fans and the public in a new way, and her thinking eventually led her to a new path.
Her birthday in 2016 was an important turning point in her life. On that day, she received many blessings from fans, which touched her deeply. She was pleasantly surprised to find that although she had not filmed for many years, so many people still remembered her and supported her.
This emotion and gratitude became the driving force for Xinzi to continue to move forward.
This experience gave Kaoko an idea: why not share her life with her fans in a new way? So, since 2017, Xinzi has started her own Vlog project to record and share her life.
This decision not only opened up a new path for Kaoko's life, but also allowed her to find a new way to break through her previous posture and interact with her fans. So in the days to come, how will Xinzi redefine herself through this new platform, and what opportunities and challenges will she face?
Since 2017, Xinzi has embarked on a brand new journey. She started making vlogs to record her daily life and share her observations, moods and experiences with her fans. This decision not only allowed Kaoko to find a new direction in her life, but also allowed her to reconnect with her fans.
In the following time, Xinzi shot more than 200 videos, and unlike many celebrities who have carefully created perfect characters, she chooses to show people with the most realistic appearance, she often appears without makeup, without any idol baggage.
This kind of authentic and candid display has won the love of the audience, and Xinzi's intimate, authentic and interesting image has attracted a large number of new fans.
At the same time, Xinzi also started a new way of life. She began to travel all over the world and lived a sojourn life with her family all over the world. From Chongqing to Dali, Xinzi's footprints have traveled all over the world.
This seemingly adrift life has given Xinzi unprecedented freedom and happiness.
Although Kaoko does not have a fixed place to live, she does not feel insecure about such a life. On the contrary, she enjoys this free lifestyle. She said that if she had a successful career, she might not have had the opportunity to travel to so many cities and live such a comfortable life today.
During the journey, Xinzi will carefully plan her life, make a to-do list, and then complete it one by one. She will share her experience and feelings with fans, infect everyone with a positive and optimistic attitude, and bring positive energy to everyone.
Through these videos, people found that Xinzi was different. The glamorous star image in the past is no longer there, replaced by a real, fresh, and ordinary woman with the breath of ordinary life.
Xinzi's experience and attitude have moved many people and made them feel a warm and healing power.
More and more people like this real Kaoko, they feel that Kaoko is full of energy, and watching her videos can get positive energy and be healed by her good attitude.
In this way, Kaoko redefined her life in her own way. She may no longer be the much-anticipated "national first love", but she has found her own happiness and value.
This kind of change, instead of making Xinzi lose fans, made her gain more sincere love and support.
Now that Kaoko is approaching 40 years old, her life has changed dramatically from her glory days. She doesn't have a stable job, she still lives in a rented house, and she doesn't have a house or car of her own.
This may seem unstable to many, or even a bit of a drift.
However, surprisingly, Kaoko was unusually indifferent to this. Not only did she not see anything wrong with this life, but she enjoyed the current state of freedom. In her opinion, the freedom to be able to travel as much as she wants, to live wherever she wants, is a kind of happiness.
Looking back now, Xinzi proudly said that she has not regretted her decision to study abroad. Although this decision may have caused her to miss out on the golden period of her acting career, she still said: "As long as someone remembers the roles she once played, it makes her grateful."
This indifferent attitude perfectly shows Xinzi's open-mindedness and understanding of life.
Through Xinzi's experience, we can understand that the value of life is not determined only by fame and fortune. Although she is no longer a celebrity, she has inner freedom and joy. In her own way, she redefines what true success is: being able to face life's changes calmly and always maintain a love and expectation for life.
Xinzi's experience has taught us the importance of reconciling with ourselves and how to be ourselves calmly. This is perhaps her most valuable inspiration to us: no matter how life changes, the most important thing is to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, cherish the present, and love life.
