Now, standing before you is the global actress, the Queen of the Golden Horse Awards, the recipient of the Gold Award for Screenplay Production at the Holly House, one of the greatest female artists in the world, an ace producer, a top composer, a renowned lyricist, and a well-known fashion design innovator.
She is a saint in the hearts of the people, having donated billions to seriously ill babies and children. She is truly gentle, heroic, and kind-hearted. There is no hype, she is an actress who has risen to the top of the female stars through her hard work.
She is from Sichuan, but in the Most Popular Female Celebrity Survey, she received 60% of the votes, while the second-place international supermodel received only 8%. Calling her a legend is no longer just a secular "success", she is a saga unto herself.
She is Yu Shuying.
And it is such a woman who, on social media, headlines jointly announced her participation in an international small program called "Is This a Happy Family?"
This is a small show, but because of the presence of top international actress Yu Shuying, its popularity has gained international attention. More than 30 top-tier companies have snapped up program endorsement deals, and now the "Is This a Happy Family?" program is set up in a large stadium.
The stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is full. On the stage are dozens of contestants from all over the world, each bringing their families.
The show is very simple: it tests which families are the happiest. Many people can't believe why Yu Shuying would participate in this kind of show.
"Everyone is welcome to watch the 'Is This a Happy Family?' program. Let us applaud and welcome the biggest guest of this episode, the superstar Ms. Yu Shuying," the host announced, trembling slightly, this was her first time seeing her idol.
Behind the stage, a woman about 1.75 meters tall, with a graceful posture, dressed in a long blue gown, walked slowly. She is truly beautiful, her fair skin like a blooming flower from the clouds, her eyes charming yet heroic, and her delicate facial features the envy of countless contemporary plastic surgeons. She stood there, exuding the aura of a queen.
Before Yu Shuying entered the entertainment industry, many female stars were confident in their appearance. But when she arrived, she was the undisputed top.
Now, everyone sees her as holding the microphone, speaking softly: "The reason I participated in this show was to open my heart because my father was a difficult person, and I received poor education as a child. I felt disappointed and ashamed to have such a father. So I joined this show to see families that are truly loving and affectionate."
"Many people think I am successful, but in my father's eyes, I am an unhelpful kid. He despises me, ridicules me, and berates me with the harshest words. I have regarded him as a lifelong enemy. Because of his laziness, my mother died early. As I grew up, he criticized me like a lunatic."
"Children from other families have happy childhoods, but I only experienced unfinished homework and loneliness. I didn't want to study when I grew up, talent scouts were trying to poach me. At that time, my father only sneered and said I wouldn't succeed."
"After I became famous as an actress, he started asking me for money every month. When I refused once, he became furious. That is my father. From childhood to adulthood, I have seen no family affection."
Her voice is quiet and gentle, yet despite her high status now, it is filled with indignation, confusion, anger, indifference, and stubbornness. Now, her status and strength prove she was right and her father was wrong.
When Yu Shuying finished speaking, the audience fell into silence. Nearly fifty contestants couldn't help but look at her with pity, and the audience was moved. Some young people shouted bravely:
"Yu Shuying, you have proven yourself, you are the best!"
"Yes, among current actresses, you are phenomenal!"
"You are a shining light, so don't care about your father; he is narrow-minded!"
Until Yu Shuying waved her hand, and the crowd quieted: "My team discussed this with the program crew. After each contestant is evaluated, a screening of my childhood journey will be shown so everyone can witness my suffering. We want children from unfortunate families to know that even without parents, we can rise."
"This screening was made by inviting my former neighbors and those involved in my childhood, to faithfully restore my past. I hope everyone can understand and cherish their families."
Her voice resonated throughout the audience, which all stood and applauded. At this moment, Yu Shuying bowed gracefully.
However, no one noticed that at the back of the audience, an old man was coughing softly. His face was pale, and the years had left many traces of age. His hands were wrinkled and scarred from labor in his youth.
But the one thing that hadn't changed was his upright manner. Despite his chest feeling like it was on fire, he sat upright, and his features still bore the mark of someone extraordinary in his youth. Now, he was just an old man.
Yu Ye was an otherworlder. He had been a baby once, raised in an orphanage. After graduating from college, he married and had a child. Later, he was diagnosed with cancer. That year, he was in his 30s, in his prime, working as a senior executive. But after a serious illness, he lost his job, and his wife left him, leaving him with a 3-year-old daughter.
Since that time, Yu Ye was no longer afraid of death. Holding his child in his arms, feeling the warmth of family, he vowed to live. He started exercising vigorously. Due to his poor health, he took on odd jobs, working as a drug tester and doing everything possible to earn money for his child's education.
Now in his 50s, his illness could no longer be tolerated, and pain was constant. In the last moments of his life, he had come here, to see his child. He wanted to look at her one last time before he died.
When he saw his daughter on stage, he felt a great relief. He didn't care about the words being thrown around him. However, voices echoed in his mind:
[Life screen playback has been activated.]
[When your daughter's program is played back, it will be replaced with real footage of her past, with random enhancements performed simultaneously.]
Hearing this, Yu Ye nodded. He could feel his life force waning. He had been holding on for decades, and at this moment, he couldn't endure any longer. He didn't care about the images anymore; he just wanted to see his daughter one last time. After his time dissipated, he knew he would have nothing left in this world because his first half of life had been so tough.
