Hello everyone, I am your sister D.
A few days ago, it was Britney Spears' 40th birthday.
She rented a yacht and celebrated on the beach in Mexico with her fitness model boyfriend Sam, who is 13 years younger.
It was her first birthday since her freedom.
Prior to this, Britney, who became famous at a young age, had been living a "life of slavery and imprisonment":
She was a money-making tool in the eyes of her father. She was monitored 24 hours a day, fed addictive drugs, and forced to wear contraceptive rings.
After many court battles with her father, she is now free.
However, another actress who became famous at a young age was not so lucky.
She was Ji Baoru, the most well-known child star in Taiwan.
She has filmed more than 200 TV series, more than 30 movies, and released 4 albums. For a while, people can see her figure when they turn on the TV.
Some people even think that she is as famous as a generation of superstars: "There is Feng Baobao in Hong Kong, and Ji Baoru in Taiwan".
Although the front stage is full of glory, Ji Baoru is like a marionette in private, controlled by a family of cheating ghosts.
Even if she walks out of the magic cave of her native family, her life can still be described as miserable.
From "broom star" to starlet
In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a superstition among Taiwanese folks in China that the girl in "dragon and phoenix twins" symbolized "unlucky".
Therefore, when Ji Baoru and her twin brother were born, the father who already had five children wanted to abandon her.
Under the begging of his mother, the newborn Ji Baoru was sent to his grandmother's house.
Grandma also looked down on Ji Baoru, and would beat her up if something went wrong, and call her a "mooty bottle" and a "broom star".
Grandma is addicted to gambling, and every time she loses money, she grabs Ji Baoru and takes her to Ji's house to ask for money.
Ji Baoru grew up amidst the disgusting eyes of the people around him, and the turning point of his fate appeared when he was five years old.
The grandma who was short of money learned that a director was recruiting young actors, so she hurriedly took her to an audition. The assessment standard of
is "tears within ten seconds." The director of
asked Ji Baoru: "What would you do if your mother is gone?" The director of
made the decision immediately and gave the role to Ji Baoru.
Grandma, who had tasted the sweetness, began to run around in various theaters, accepting plays for Ji Baoru.
The little girl who lacks love, the daughter of a rich family whose parents broke up... The young Ji Baoru perfectly mastered various small roles and became a frequent visitor on the screen.
Not only is she cute in appearance, but she also has a very sweet voice. The theme song of "Looking for My Mother in Thousands of Miles", "I want you, mom, I miss you, mom..." made her famous even more.
Some people praised her for her talent, but Ji Baoru knew it herself:
"It turned out that the childhood experience of hardship and homelessness had already been brewed into an inner drama. I just used acting to vent out the emotions suppressed in the subconscious."
The grandma who is obsessed with making money, regards Ji Baoru as a money printing machine, accepting any drama, wishing to exchange every minute and every second of Ji Baoru for money.
Ji Baoru, who was still a child, often filmed until the early hours of the morning, often before dawn, she was woken up by her grandma to recite her lines.
was supposed to be at school age, but Ji Baoru was running around on the set, and couldn't go to school a few times a year.
She doesn't know pinyin, nor can she recite multiplication formulas, just like a doll at the mercy of others, neither crying nor fussing.
Ji Baoru thinks that as long as she is obedient, she can get the love and attention of her family, but she doesn't know that the people around her just want to squeeze every bit of her value.
elopes for love, breaks free from prison
As time goes by, Ji Baoru grows from a sweet child to a young girl.
She is no longer suitable for the role of a child, and the drama appointments gradually decrease.
Grandma, who regarded Ji Baoru as a magic weapon to make money, was in a hurry. She asked around and finally came up with a good solution.
After greeting Ji Baoru's parents, her grandmother took the 13-year-old to a private clinic, where she cruelly injected "growth-inhibiting injections" into her knees.
In order to prevent the body part from becoming fashionable, grandma used a white cloth to tightly strangle Ji Baoru's body part every day.
After this torture, Ji Baoru's height remained at 149 centimeters forever, and her appearance and voice were like a child's, always childish and lovely.
It's a pity that grandma is still not satisfied. When there is no filming, grandma arranges for Ji Baoru to sing in nightclubs.
A teenage girl sings from noon to late at night every day. Not only does her throat feel uncomfortable, but she is also bullied at the night show.
Some people speak pornography on purpose, and some people pretend to be drunk to take advantage of the opportunity.
Ji Baoru has no one to rely on, so he can only endure silently.
She later recalled this experience: "At that time, I was beautiful in front of others, but I was like a prisoner under house arrest."
At the age of 19, a man lit up Ji Baoru's dark world.
His name is Yu Long, he is 9 years older than Ji Baoru, he is not a big shot, and he works with the star brother.
The two met backstage at a nightclub and quickly fell in love.
Ji Baoru, who is controlled by his family, regards Yu Long as a straw.
She longed to rebuild her family and escape from the past, so she took the initiative to tell Yu Long, "I want to get pregnant!"
Three months later, Ji Baoruo was pregnant. She went home excitedly and told her parents that she was going to marry Yu Long.
Her father slapped her hard and forced her to have an abortion.
Ji Baoru knew that this might be her only chance to escape her family.
In desperation, she chooses to elope with Yu Long. When
fled the house, she was empty-handed, and the expectation for the future was her only luggage.
Love is broken, she rebuilds her life in the ruins
After marriage, Ji Baoru stayed away from the glitz and glitz of the entertainment industry, gave birth to three children in succession, and lived a simple and ordinary life.
I thought I finally got the favor of fate, but one day in the middle of the night, Ji Baoru woke up and found her husband Yu Long answering the phone in a low voice in the study.
She clearly heard a girl crying on the other end of the phone: "You must give me an explanation today, or I will die for you."
Ji Baoru was heartbroken, she impulsively bumped her head against the table leg, her face was covered in blood.
years later, she recalled: "Compared to the pain in my heart, what is that wound on the head?"
But the heartbroken Ji Baoru chose to break up, knowing that she had lost trust and the two would never be able to reunite.
In 1992, a fire broke out in a KTV in Taipei, killing 16 people, including Yu Long.
Ji Baoru rushed to the scene in a daze, the former mother-in-law grabbed her by the collar like crazy, gritted her teeth and cursed with tears in her eyes:
"It was you who killed my son. If you hadn't insisted on breaking up, would my son have been drinking too much every day?"
Ji Baoru was overwhelmed by guilt.
But she forgot that disloyalty was Yu Long's fault, the fire was not caused by her, she was also the victim.
On the other hand, the storm of real life quickly involved Ji Baoru.
At that time, she alone shouldered the burden of raising three children.
She has no income, so she works as a mother in a hotel, and spends her days drinking heavily.
One day, a customer teased her, and she threw a wine bottle over in a fit of anger.
The other party picked up the broken wine bottle angrily and scratched her face with the glass, causing her to go to the hospital for more than a hundred stitches.
A life without hope is like a puddle of mud.
Ji Baoru, who was never treated well in childhood, also doesn't know how to love children.
She vented all her unsatisfactory life to her children, and when she was emotionally unstable, she would beat her son severely.
Over time, the tragedy repeated itself.
The eldest son was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He always disappeared inexplicably, and sometimes curled up on a park bench to sleep like a homeless man.
The second son became addicted to drugs and refused to change after repeated admonitions. In order to raise money for drugs, he also embarked on the road of drug trafficking.
Seeing that Ji Baoru was in deep pain, a friend brought her into contact with Christianity.
's love from God made Ji Baoru feel unconditionally loved for the first time.
She gradually understood:
's compromise when she was young, her bravery when she eloped, and her depression now are all because she is struggling to seek to be loved.
It's a pity, but it still doesn't work.
She sees her lack, strives to love others, and also learns to love herself.
She joined the Quality Life Association to visit the elderly living alone and children with mental disabilities, and send them warm help.
She established the Welfare Foundation and used her influence to build a health care park to provide a comfortable environment for the elderly, disabled and other socially vulnerable.
It is not so much that she is helping the vulnerable group in front of her, but rather that she is giving a sincere hug to the helpless self in the past.
Giving love is the beginning of having love.
That girl who lacked love finally gave birth to strength.
Ji Baoru's life gradually returned to the right track.
She gave up drinking, took her eldest son to see a doctor, and took care of her by the bedside meticulously.
She reluctantly reported that her second son had gone astray and sold drugs. While her second son was serving his sentence, despite the long distance, she visited him three times a week to encourage him to start a new life.
Ji Baoru didn't know many words, but in order to give her sons confidence, she also clumsily wrote letters with a pen, writing words that she was too embarrassed to say.
After a long period of 6 years, the relationship between mother and child has been repaired. The mother and child often meet and travel around.
Today, Ji Baoru has learned to live a good life and how to be a good mother.
She often takes her sons to participate in activities together to take care of the lonely elderly and feel the meaning of life in the process of helping others.
Ji Baoru successfully reconciled with the past. She returned to the stage and shared her past experience frankly, hoping to give others a warning.
She filmed the autobiographical TV series "Pearl Life", playing the role of the grandmother she hated the most.
She said: "The process of regaining self-worth bit by bit is like a broken life being picked up piece by piece."
Perhaps everyone guards their own darkness, life cannot be restarted, but it can be rebuilt in the present.
For example, Ji Baoru wrote in his autobiography "Love, Reversal Victory":
"No matter how unbearable life is, as long as you have a willing heart, you will definitely have the opportunity to move towards rebirth and live out the true mission and value of life."
