002 Second Life
Life is a journey, and the foggy future is full of unknowns, and no one knows whether the uphill or downhill awaits them in front of them, and no one knows whether the road ahead is smooth or rugged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe unpredictable uncertainty makes life full of uncertainties, but also full of surprises.
He used to think that the future is in his own hands, and as long as he makes a plan that is strong, detailed and sufficient enough, he can control every step of his life within the expected range, the future, success, career, family...... And life, will be firmly in your own hands, and there will be no deviation.
But apparently, he was wrong. Just as he didn't expect that he would spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed because of a car accident, he didn't expect that the end of his life would be the beginning of a new life.
In his last life, his name was Chu Jiashu, a Chinese/Chinese, he was always a well-behaved child, obeying his mother's arrangement, planning his future step by step, and following the plan every day in a regular manner, "You will definitely grow into an excellent adult, and you will definitely have a bright future." "That's what his mother told him from the beginning.
His mother made a timetable for him, marked on the blackboard on the wall in great detail, and planned his life from the age of three to thirty, from studies to friends, from three meals a day to extracurricular activities, everything was placed on the planner, at a glance, as if as long as he stood in front of the blackboard, he could see the end of his life.
To this day, he can still vividly recall the New Year's Day when he was eight years old, when he wanted to use his New Year's money to buy some fireworks and firecrackers and join the neighborhood revelry, but his mother bitterly dissuaded him, pointing to the dense planner, "We have to take our destiny into our hands, everything is here, in order from top to small, from left to right." From minute to hour, to day, week, month, year, to your whole life, everything is in this table. Even I made a table for your birthday present every year, for example, this year's eighth birthday gift is an abacus, which can be used in the next math class, and I have already wrapped it. ”
He looked at his earnest mother in a daze, revealing confusion and timidity, the sound of frolicking and firecrackers looming outside the window, and he just wanted to light a firework. But his mother didn't pay attention to him at all, she just stood in front of the surface of the plan and scolded Fang Xuan, and said ambitiously, "Now there are one hundred and eighty-three days left before the start of the first grade, which sounds like a long time, but when converted into hours, it is only four thousand three hundred and ninety-two hours, and when converted into minutes, it is only two hundred and sixty-three thousand five hundred and twenty minutes, and you will find that you can accomplish so many things." ”
He didn't understand what that huge number meant, but he knew that the resolute glow on his mother's face left him no room to refuse. "You have to organize your minutes according to this chart, and make sure that you use every minute efficiently! Truth be told, you can only rely on yourself when you enter society, and if you want to succeed, you have to follow this schedule firmly. ”
His mother looked at him with a smile and confidence, and he nodded blankly, but the words that came to his lips were still not able to be spoken. "It's good, you now have fifteen minutes to get some fresh air, relax, and then it's English time. This was the closing remark of my mother's speech, which was still vivid and imprinted in my mind many years later.
Sadly, this ambitious plan was only carried out at the age of twenty-two. Leaving the university, he is actively preparing to devote himself to the internship, and then seek a better development in the future, it seems that everything is developing step by step, and a bright future is waiting not far away, but a sudden car accident has brought the plan to an abrupt end.
High paralysis.
He didn't feel anything from the chest down, and could only lie on the hospital bed like a waste, panicking all day long. His mother ran around for him, and even scattered all her wealth, but she still couldn't reverse time. He was decadent, crazy, gave up, despaired, angry, regretted...... But he survived - like the walking dead.
Luckily, he came across the movie, the unique but meaningful "Truman's world", which opened the door to a whole new world for him, a form of expression called the "seventh art" that lit up his boring life, and he was so greedy that he almost hungrily immersed himself in the world of cinema and soared. I am curious about the ups and downs of life, the colorful world, the colorful society, and the chic and wanton freedom...... That's what really lives.
Freedom, dreams, life. The mere thought of such words made his chest dull to the point of a dull ache, because he would never be able to touch them again, he missed, missed forever.
He wants to travel to every corner of the world, taste the cold of the snow-capped mountains and the turbulence of the ocean, he wants to challenge every limit of life, try the madness of skydiving and the thrill of extreme rock climbing, he wants to experience every emotion of life, the joy of achieving goals and the pain of encountering setbacks...... Because for the first time, he truly realized that life cannot be planned, success and failure, happiness and sorrow, happiness and suffering, these are the two sides of life, and without the contradiction and opposite, then there is no meaning.
wanton, uninhibited, carnival, crazy, casual, free. Grasp every moment of life, truly give life your own wonderful, and don't let down this rare but only once life.
He couldn't help but wonder if he could climb all the world's peaks if he became a mountaineer, if he became a journalist, if he could talk to the world with a pen, and if he ...... If he becomes an actor, can he deduce all kinds of life, can he give the character a soul like those actors, can he move others like the inspiration brought to him by the movie, can he use his acting skills to give art a new vitality?
Ten years, ten whole years, he was paralyzed in a hospital bed for ten years, he communicated with movies for ten years, but alas, he didn't have the opportunity to try those "ifs" after all. How he longed to do it all over again, to break all shackles and shackles, and to be willful and wanton, but it was too late.
On his thirty-second birthday, because of cardiopulmonary failure, his regular and mediocre, simple and short life came to an end and escaped into nothingness.
After closing his eyes, the world was dark, but at the end of the darkness there was a faint light, as if to guide him forward, was it heaven or hell?
At that end, there is no heaven, not hell, but new life.
He was born again.
From 2017 to 1989, from the age of thirty-two to the state of newborn babies, from yellow to white, from China/country to the United Kingdom, from Chu Jiashu to Lan Li Hall.
He won a second chance, and this time, he won't miss it again.
The Hall family is a down-and-out aristocracy in England, with a hereditary barony, although the family is no longer wealthy, and it is not the twenties or thirties at this time, they have no fiefdom or manor, but their lives are still very rich.
Lan Li is the youngest son of the Hall family, and has an older brother and two older sisters above him. Although they were down-and-out aristocrats, they still followed the elite education of the aristocracy, from Oxford Dragon Primary School to Eton College, and then entered Cambridge University with excellent grades. However, instead of following in the footsteps of his father and brother to Trinity College, Lan Li chose Pembroke College to study classics, and after just one year, Lan Li took a temporary leave of absence to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in the United Kingdom, and began to polish himself in London's West End.
This time, Lan Li wants to realize her dreams, wants to try more possibilities, wants to explore the unknown of the world, and wants to truly embrace freedom.
Acting, this is the source of Lan Li's inner passion, he aspires to be a part of the film, he aspires to be an actor, and not just an actor who imitates others, or a vase that relies on his appearance to become an ornament, he aspires to be a real professional actor, an actor who can bring shock with his acting skills, and an actor who constantly challenges his own limits on the road of acting.
He didn't know how much talent he had, he didn't know how high his achievements could be, he didn't even know if his dreams could come true, but he didn't care, he just wanted to try it once, run recklessly, run until he was exhausted, and really live according to his own ideas.
Even if he fails, he doesn't care. This time, he will not waste his life, he will not compromise, he will not give up, because at the end of his life, he does not want to regret it.
But for the Hall family, Lan Li's choice is intolerable, it is a shame for the aristocratic family, and it will become the object of ridicule in high society, making George and Elizabeth unable to hold their heads up.
So, he crossed the ocean to New York, he crossed the ocean to New York, where he landed here, burdened with the opposition and protests of his parents; while looking for opportunities to polish himself on Off-Broadway, he began to audition one after another for acting opportunities, and at the same time used his free time to work to earn money, completely get rid of his parents' financial constraints; he aspired to be an actor like never before, not for success, not for fame, not for super high income, just to become a good actor.
George and Elizabeth were right, and it took him three months in New York to find his first audition. The hardships of this road are far worse than he imagined, and he is now pursuing that one in a hundred thousand, one in a million chance to realize his dream.
But, he doesn't regret it!
