Some people hold good cards when they are born, and the shot is Wang Fried. His starting point is the destination of others, even if they lie flat for a lifetime, they can enjoy all the splendor in the world.
And some people, holding a bad card in their hands, are wrong in how to play, and finally bow their heads and accept their fate.
However, there are still a group of people who have to admit defeat and change their lives by trying not to die. Kara Wai is one of them.
She went begging at the age of 3 because of her family's decline. Begging for 10 years, 12 years old, she became a nightclub dancer and was laughed at. 14 years old, met by the director and accidentally bumped into the actor.
At the age of 22, he won an Oscar and reached the peak of his career. 33 years old, no one is interested in filming. At the age of 40, he took sleeping pills and was rescued. At the age of 50, he won an Oscar. Now he is 60 years old, and his acting skills are praised as gods by Zhang Ziyi. No one is qualified to evaluate him. So far unmarried, still waiting for her first love, an American sailor.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Wan Chai was the early red light district in Hong Kong, and many soldiers who participated in the war would come here to rest.
In the crowd coming and going in Wan Chai, a little girl who looks watery but is in rags stands out from the crowd. She hung a wooden box with chewing gum on her chest and sold it to the crowd: "Sir, beautiful lady, do you need chewing gum?"
This girl was Kara Wai 50 years ago. Perhaps no one would have thought that the big stars who are glamorous in front of TV now still make a living by selling odds and ends.
An American sailor 18 years old goes to Kara Wai every day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes near noon, Kara Wai just looks around and waits anxiously. Just when Kara Wai was depressed and thought that the other party would not come, he suddenly jumped out from behind like magic, scaring people half to death.
After he bought chewing gum, he would find a place not far away to watch Kara Wai quietly and not disturb her when he was free. He didn't leave until Kara Wai came home.
Until one time, Kara Wai didn't see him for several days, and he was worried about what would happen. The American sailors finally came again.
He ran over and asked Kara Wai in English, "I love you. How do you say it in Cantonese?"
Kara Wai told him in Cantonese: "I love you."
Unexpectedly, he looked into Kara Wai's eyes, full of pity, and answered Kara Wai in Cantonese: "I love you too."
This is the first time in Kara Wai's life that someone has told her I love you. After many years, Kara Wai experienced several relationships, but he was still the American sailor of 18 years old. When he was young, he gently said "I love you".
This became the best memory of Kara Wai's life, and also supported her through a difficult life.

Although Kara Wai was born into a noble family and descended from Zhenghuangqi in Manchuria, her childhood was more miserable than ordinary people.
Because of the civil war, her family was liquidated, and overnight she changed from a big noble family to a target of public criticism. Her father fled to Hong Kong with the gold. On the way, the money was cheated away, and the family became a real destitute family, living in a broken corner under someone else's stairs.
My father was originally a rich young master, and he was used to reaching for clothes and living beyond his means. Faced with the sudden gap, I couldn't accept the blow, became addicted to drugs, owed a lot of foreign debts, and was often killed in casinos.
The whole family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat. Four sisters and brothers were sold to the theater by their father, and Kara Wai, who was born not long ago, became the eldest daughter.
In order to beg, 3-year-old Kara Wai began to beg along the street with her mother. Life is too hard, and I struggle to eat every day. Even if you walk in the street for more than ten hours every day, you still don't have enough to eat. Sometimes I can't get the money, so I have to go to a big restaurant to pick up leftovers to fill my stomach.
Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, but Kara Wai Jr. ran over smartly, hugged others' thighs and sincerely begged: "Please, sir, you are a good man, give some money."
If you are lucky, you can get some small change. When I met someone with a bad temper, I pushed Kara Wai away directly, and then I immediately patted my pants in disgust, as if I had been touched by some plague, and I even scolded "smelly beggar"
At the age of seven, Kara Wai began to sell chewing gum and small commodities in the street. I spent six years in a small commodity stall, sleeping on the street, looking into people's eyes, and I have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since I was a child. Such a hard life lasted Kara Wai's whole childhood.
A few years later, Kara Wai, a teenage girl, has become an elegant girl.
One day, an American mixed-race sailor bought her chewing gum every day. On the day before going to Vietnam to fight, the sailor said "I love you" to her in Cantonese and gave all his money to Kara Wai. He played in Vietnam for many years, but the American sailor never came back.
Years later, Kara Wai, who became a star, said in the program:
"I've been thinking, the person I loved when I was young, she came to me now, I will say the first sentence, I love you. If he asks me to marry him, I will not hesitate to promise him. "
At some point, her eyes lit up and her face was full of longing.
Some people say that they didn't expect a big star to be so immature? When I was young, my feelings were childish.
But someone immediately retorted. She has been groping in society since she was a child, and she is used to human feelings. How could she be immature? On the contrary, because it is too mature, there is no room for sand in my eyes. Only first love is purer and better.
/kloc-When she was 0/3 years old, in order to make a living, she went to a big nightclub in Hong Kong to be a dancer. She practiced dancing hard and slowly jumped from the accompaniment to the lead dance. Her salary has also risen to 1500 yuan per month. Some money was used by Kara Wai to subsidize her family, and the rest was saved. I hope to work hard for a few more years and buy a suite for my family so that they can have a stable home.
At the age of 14, he was liked by ballroom guests and recommended to director Zhang Che, which became a great turning point in Kara Wai's life. After that, Zhang Che recommended Kara Wai to audition for a role as a dancer in Bad Head. Because of her stage experience and successful audition, she can sign up for Shaw Company and become a basic actress.
In this way, Kara Wai began her acting career.

Because of her efforts and the appreciation of director Zhang Che, at the age of 17, she was pushed by the director to play the female No.2 Mu Nianci in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
There are many scenes in the film, and other actresses are afraid to avoid them when they hear it. But Kara Wai went to the movies in person and was often injured all over, saying nothing when filming. Mu Nianci, who is skilled in martial arts, is vividly played by his perseverance and study of his role.
At that time, it happened to catch up with the hot wave of Hong Kong martial arts dramas. From then on, Kara Wai became famous in World War I. Later, he starred in several martial arts films and was labeled as "beating women".
198 1, 2 1 year-old Kara Wai won the first Academy Award for the film Elders, and was also the only martial arts actor who won the role of playing a female role. When filming "Elders", Kara Wai had just finished appendicitis surgery.
When Kara Wai was acting, she was famous in the circle, and she dared to do it if others dared not. It can be said that the road to becoming an actress in Kara Wai is a real road.
1989, when Kara Wai was filming raiders of the lost ark, there was a scene in which he jumped from 16 floor. Body double thought it was too dangerous to go on, so Kara Wai said that he would go on, so as not to waste time. When he jumped, he was stuck on his back by the fragments of the iron frame next to the house. She also forgot the pain and insisted on filming.
I thought that relying on Kara Wai's strength and desperate professional attitude would make her acting career smooth. However, in a few years, Hong Kong martial arts films were desolate, the market was depressed, and literary films rose rapidly. Kara Wai, who can receive seven or eight martial arts dramas a year, is in a situation where there is no drama to shoot.
Career is at a low ebb, and love has no happy ending.
Kara Wai has been dating actress Huang Ziyang, who is seven years younger than her, for five years. Kara Wai was a popular actress when she first started dating, but Huang Ziyang just started her career, so the feeling that a strong woman is weak is not taken seriously by the outside world.
In addition, 1988, in order to keep my youth and prove that I have the strength to perform literary films, I went to France to take a group of bold photos, which made my boyfriend feel distressed and became the fuse of later breakup.
At that time, Huang Ziyang took her to a friend's dinner party. One of her friends came over and patted Huang Ziyang on the shoulder and said, "Your girlfriend has a good figure. I've seen that set of photos. You are so lucky. "
Huang Ziyang felt humiliated and didn't talk to Kara Wai for a long time. Later, it was revealed that Huang Ziyang stepped on several boats.
199 1, Kara Wai announced that they broke up completely, ending their five-year relationship.
When I fell in love again, it was 1 1 years later, and the other party was an outsider. After only half a year, their relationship came to an abrupt end. This relationship has also become her last love so far.
The failure of this relationship was Kara Wai's own fault, because at that time, Kara Wai suffered from depression, her acting career was frustrated, and the long-term mental stress made her completely collapse.
In the worst case, she swallowed more than 30 sleeping pills in one breath and attempted suicide. Fortunately, her sister found and saved Kara Wai's life.
Kara Wai, who passed by death, suddenly became enlightened: "So many big winds and waves have come, what's so annoying?" Since you saved my life, you might as well fight hard. "
She tidied up her emotions and rallied with the help of relatives and friends. She chose to start all over again, make a low-key comeback as a newcomer and actively strive for some roles.

The so-called phoenix nirvana is reborn in suffering and tempering. Even when he came back again, his position was not as good as before, and Kara Wai was always in awe of performing. Even if the role is small, it will be taken seriously.
200 1 She participated in Ghost, in which Kara Wai played two roles. Even in a supporting role, she still shines brilliantly and won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
In 2009, 48-year-old Kara Wai starred in the movie Devil, in which Kara Wai played a mother with a strong desire for control and won the Oscar for Best Actress.
After a lapse of 28 years, once again standing on the stage of the Hong Kong Academy Awards, she was sobbing.
I have stood at the peak and won infinite glory, and I have also fallen into the trough. I once waded in the flames of war and was born again. At that time, my mood was probably only understood by people who had experienced it.
At the age of 56, Kara Wai took on the film Lucky Me, in which she played a dead female singer with Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, and her mother also had Alzheimer's Harmo's disease. After the filming, my mother passed away.
With her outstanding acting skills in the film, Kara Wai won the Best Actress Award for the third time on April 9th, 20 17. On this day, it happened to be the mother's death 100 day. This hard-won award is also the best comfort for Mother Heaven.
Today, Kara Wai is over 60 years old, and her career is constantly reaching new heights, but her feelings are still lonely.
In fact, at the age of 40, a master once said that she didn't marry until she was 60. Kara Wai was very sad and cried for a long time, but then he slowly let go and everything happened.
Kara Wai still remembers the American sailors he met in Wan Chai as a boy. Even though she still doesn't know where the other person's home is and what his last name is.
He became the most persistent Bai Yueguang in Kara Wai's heart.
When he received his prize in new york, USA, he specially held a public meeting, and many American veterans came. She also deliberately asked them one by one if they had been to Wan Chai, but unfortunately no one went.
Kara Wai asked them to ask the veterans around him if anyone had been to Wan Chai. If so, ask him if he remembers a pair of girls selling chewing gum with long braids at Wan Chai Pier. She is waiting for him.
So far, she is still looking forward to seeing him again one day. Even if she sends her a photo to tell her that he is still alive, he is fine.
Kara Wai said, her life is someone else's two lives. This is more than two lifetimes, others are immersed in honeypots, but Kara Wai's childhood is more bitter than Huanglian's. The suffering I have experienced in my life, even the TV series of dog blood dare not act like this.
Nietzsche once said, "Those who can't kill you will eventually make you stronger". Fortunately, no matter how fate played tricks on her, it failed to stop her from turning over against the wind, becoming the envy of everyone and accepting the crowned scenery.
Sometimes, as long as you bite the bullet and get through it, you are sure to win.
