In TV dramas, there is often a plot where a person finally converts to Buddhism after experiencing ups and downs.
In real life, such situations actually happen from time to time!
Let’s introduce six female stars in the entertainment industry who “cut off their hair to become nuns”.
Each of them was once a beautiful and extraordinary woman, but after experiencing some things, they finally chose to convert to Buddhism.
So what exactly did they go through that enabled them to realize their full enlightenment, let go of the right and wrong in the world, and escape into Buddhism?
Maybe their experiences will make you feel Unbelievable!
"A Dream of Red Mansions" is one of China's four great classics. Since its birth, it has been circulated in more than a dozen versions.
Its story has fascinated countless people.
In modern times, with the rise of film and television dramas, "A Dream of Red Mansions" has also been filmed into a TV series.
Although this drama has been filmed in more than one version, the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is still an unsurpassed classic in the hearts of many people.
Especially the "Lin Daiyu" played by Chen Xiaoxu can still be remembered freshly even after many years.
That melancholy look in her eyes made her look like the real-life version of "Lin Daiyu"!
But such a beauty of time converted to Buddhism at her peak, and eventually died of cancer.
It’s so sad.
Chen Xiaoxu was born in Anshan, Liaoning, and is an authentic Northeast American.
Both her parents are from artistic backgrounds, which laid the foundation for her future acting career.
In 1983, 18-year-old Chen Xiaoxu learned that actors for "A Dream of Red Mansions" would be selected nationwide.
Later, with the help of her boyfriend, she signed up for the role of "Lin Daiyu" through a self-recommendation letter.
Fortunately, after a short training, Chen Xiaoxu finally succeeded in getting this role.
Who would have thought that this performance would become an eternal classic.
In the play, she played the role of Lin Daiyu with great perfection, soft and melancholy, as if she was the real-life Lin Daiyu.
But after finishing this drama, Chen Xiaoxu did not stay too much in the entertainment industry, but chose to quit quietly.
At the end of the 1990s, Chen Xiaoxu, whom he had not seen for a long time, began to join the business world and opened an advertising company with her husband Hao Tong.
At the time when the domestic business world was booming, Chen Xiaoxu and her husband seized the opportunity and became a strong woman in the business world in just a few years.
In 2005, she was also named "Economic Person of the Year" and "China's Ten Most Charming Female Advertisers of the Year".
But it is a pity that such a strange woman suffered from breast cancer during the most glorious period of her career.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Xiaoxu later formed an indissoluble bond with Buddhism.
Three months before his death from illness, he became a monk at Baiguo Xinglong Temple in Changchun, and his Buddhist name was Shi Miaozhen.
Perhaps it was his belief in Buddhism that made Chen Xiaoxu refuse to have surgery.
Because in her opinion, this is the greatest damage to her body, even in the face of death.
Finally, Chen Xiaoxu died of illness on May 13, 2007.
In 1994, the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" became popular all over the world and pushed the 31-year-old Li Na to the pinnacle of her career.
Although the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" has been covered by many people today, Li Na's original version is still a big mountain.
It seems unsurpassable.
After becoming famous, Li Na made rapid progress. In less than ten years, she composed nearly 200 film and television hits for dozens of film and television dramas.
So why did such a person choose to escape into Buddhism at the peak of her career?
It turns out that all this is related to her personal experience!
Li Na was born in an ordinary rural family in Zhengzhou, Henan. Her father died early, which made Li Na very sensible since she was a child.
When she was 13 years old, her mother sent her to study at the Henan Opera Academy.
Li Na is very talented, and she has already distinguished herself in school at the age of 17.
However, although she sang well at that time, she mostly sang covers of Teresa Teng's songs. He felt that this was not a long-term solution.
So after graduation, Li Na chose to come to Beijing and began her five-year journey to Beijing.
At the age of 22, Li Na was finally reborn and won first place in the National Popular Singers Competition with her astonishing voice.
Since then, Li Na has overcome all obstacles and become one of the few popular singers in the mainland at that time.
Songs such as "Ode to Sister-in-law" and "A Good Man May Have a Peaceful Life" were sung in the streets for a while.
In 1994, the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" suddenly became popular, making Li Na one of the most famous singers at that time.
At the age of 31, it only took her ten years to reach a height that is difficult for others to achieve in a lifetime.
But there are many popular people.
After Li Na became famous, a lot of troubles began to come one after another, and a lot of capital began to find her, making her her money tree.
Li Na, who is not good at sociability, can only cope with these problems, which greatly affects her creative inspiration.
During that time, she was under a lot of pressure and even suffered from mild depression. It took more than five months of treatment in the hospital before she slowly recovered.
And this was not the main reason that led Li Na to become a monk.
Li Na’s becoming a monk has a lot to do with her love life!
She had a relationship with a Northeastern man in her early years. The man's outgoing personality gave Li Na a great sense of security.
For this reason, Li Na devoted all her feelings to him.
But what people didn’t expect was that it was later revealed that this man actually had a wife, which shocked Li Na deeply.
Coincidentally, a few years later, Li Na met a man again.
This man is also a musician. He not only gave Li Na a lot of encouragement in life, but also helped her a lot in music.
Through getting along with each other, Li Na once again believed in love and fell in love with each other again.
But what she didn’t expect was that the ending this time would be the same as last time.
Just when she thought true love was coming, reality gave her another fatal blow.
Some media broke the news that this man actually has a wife!
Li Na was devastated by the successive blows. Coupled with the cynicism of some media, saying that she especially liked the involvement of third parties, Li Na became depressed.
Li Na, who was hurt by love twice, felt that her life had lost its light. Fortunately, she later came into contact with Buddhist scriptures, which allowed her to find a glimmer of light.
In 1996, after living in the monastery for several months, Li Na decided to officially become a nun and take the Buddhist name Changsheng.
Today, Li Na has been a monk for more than 20 years, and she is still practicing in an American monastery.
Nowadays, she has less worldly distractions, and chanting sutras and chanting Buddha every day has become her greatest happiness.
We all know the famous singer Fei Yuqing, but few people know that Fei Yuqing actually has a sister named Fei Zhenling.
Fei Zhenling was born in Taipei City, Taiwan Province. At first, her name was not Fei Zhenling, but Zhang Yanqiong. Fei Yuqing was not called Fei Yuqing at that time, but Zhang Yanting.
Fei Zhenling has been outgoing since she was a child. When she was 16, she dared to challenge boys who made her unhappy, and even dared to secretly wear her mother's cheongsam to date other boys.
And this kind of character also made Fei Zhenling enjoy it since she was a child.
She dropped out of school early and started singing in major restaurants and karaoke bars in Taipei City at the age of 17 to support her family.
Later, she was discovered by China Television and signed as an artist of China Television.
Because of her hot figure, she was called "Oriental Marilyn Monroe" at that time.
In 1974, after Fei Zhenling arranged a future for her younger brother Fei Yuqing, she went to Japan to develop.
With her good looks and good singing skills, Fei Zhenling became a beauty star famous throughout Southeast Asia in a few years.
But in 1982, Fei Zhenling made an incredible decision. She decided to quit the entertainment industry and became a nun shortly thereafter.
Yes, she became a monk!
This incident was very puzzling at the time, because she neither encountered any difficulties nor was she hurt by love!
What is even more incredible is what she did later. She sold all her mansions and donated all the more than 30 million she received.
To this day, Fei Zhenling’s becoming a monk is still a mystery to everyone!
However, Fei Zhenling’s ordination is still different from others.
After joining Buddhism, she not only appeared on the show, but also accepted many advertising endorsements, and even accepted four handsome disciples.
It has the artistic conception of "the wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the heart of the Buddha"!
Liu Lanxi was originally just an ordinary girl. When she was 16 years old, she went out to watch a singing competition with her friends. She was accidentally discovered by the on-site staff, and then recommended to the program team.
Because of her sweet appearance, she won the favor of the company boss. Later, the company recommended her to star in the TV series "Golden Jade", and she became popular after that.
After becoming popular, she served as the host of a children's program.
In the late 1970s, Liu Lanxi signed with a record company and released several albums.
Among them, "Sunset Love Song" and "Memories in the Light Rain" are among the classic songs.
Later, she was also spotted by Qiong Yao, and later became a Qiong girl. She successively played roles in many film and television dramas such as "Gathering and Parting Two Yiyi" and "But the Heart".
It is a pity that Liu Lanxi did not sing and struggle all the way, but chose to marry at his peak.
Later, she and her husband went to live in the United States, and because they both liked Buddhism, they eventually chose to become ordained and become a monk.
It is said that suffering is the greatest wealth in life. How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?
But for Zhuang Wenqing, suffering was so cruel.
Zhuang Wenqing was born in a poor family. When she was very young, her father unexpectedly ran away from home and never came back, leaving her and her mother to depend on each other.
Later, the mother also became addicted to gambling, which made the family even more fragmented.
After finishing his campus life, Zhuang Wenqing chose to enter the wireless artist training class and entered the entertainment industry.
"Princess Zhaoren" in "Emperor's Flower", "Zheng Minyi" in "Riding the Wind and Waves", and "Wang Yueqi" in "Shanghai Bund" are all roles played by her.
Although Zhuang Wenqing is not a big hit in the entertainment industry, he is still doing well.
But compared with this, her love life is very unsatisfactory!
Zhuang Wenqing met her ex-husband Zhao Zhenqiang at a wireless artist training class and later got married.
But later her husband changed his mind and abandoned her cruelly, taking away most of the family property.
Finally frustrated, Zhuang Wenqing chose to become a monk.
Speaking of Yang Jiewei, we have to mention another person, and that is Alan Tam.
Some people say that Alan Tam’s achievements in this life are all due to his own efforts, but the author does not think so.
If there had been no Yang Jiewei, there might not be Alan Tam today!
When Yang Jiewei and Alan Tam met, Alan Tam was just in his early twenties and was just an ordinary singer in the entertainment industry.
Yang Jiewei is a consultant for a cosmetics company. Their long-term contact made them fall in love with each other and finally came together.
Later, with the support of Yang Jiewei, Alan Tam began to stand out and eventually became famous.
At that time, Yang Jiewei had always been the woman behind Alan Tam. Even though she was unknown and had no status, she had no regrets.
It was not until Yang Jiewei's father died of illness in 1993 that the world knew the truth that the two of them had been together for a long time.
But Alan Tam, who was under the lighted stage, later found the favor of another girl.
Her name is Zhu Yongting. After the two met, she gave birth to a son for Alan Tam.
Alan Tam, who once coaxed and lied to himself that he wanted to be a "DINK", actually had a child with another woman.
Yang Jiewei was very sad when she knew this.
