Chapter 59 Xiaowuxing

In 10 years, I didn't really leave drama school. When I left school at the age of 17, I was suddenly free.My father originally wanted to take me back to Australia to live with them, but I wanted to stay in Hong Kong and break into the film industry.After all, I have learned Kung Fu for 10 years, and the studio can give me the opportunity to show my fists.My father saw that I was so determined, so he bought me a small apartment in San Po Kong, which cost about HK$40,000.There are tips my mother has saved over the years and my father's 8,000 Australian dollars in hard cooking and cooking for nearly 10 years.At that moment, I suddenly understood the decision of my parents to leave. After all, they did not have the ability to make a lot of money. They could only rely on manual labor day after day, and use all their hard-earned savings to buy me a shelter.

Many years later, Dad returned to Hong Kong and has been living in that small apartment.I wished him many times to move, to the big house I bought for him, to have a better living environment, but he refused every time.Later, I could only lie to him, the small house was sold, and he moved out.Until his death, he thought I had sold it, but the small apartment is still in my name to this day.That's a memorial left to me by my parents. Before this apartment, I had never had a room of my own.When I was a child, I slept on a bunk bed with my parents, and later I slept in a bunk bed at school. Now, I finally have a space that is completely my own.Although the house is small and dilapidated, I am already very happy.In the first few days, I searched for some materials everywhere, made a few simple pieces of furniture by myself, and then waited for job opportunities on the set at home.It was also at this time that I suddenly became a person from a lively group life, and began to learn to adapt to loneliness, but in fact, I have not learned this until today.

Every morning, I get up early, buy some food, take the bus, and follow everyone to the Shaw Brothers studio.At that time, Shaw Brothers was the largest film company, with a large-scale film studio and studio under its umbrella. We, a group of martial artists who were familiar or unfamiliar, mixed there every day waiting for opportunities.The so-called opportunity is nothing more than being an extra with various human backgrounds who don't show their faces, or extras who are kicked, beaten, hacked, and whipped.Sometimes I will be called by the producer to do some physical work, to help move things and so on.In any case, as long as there is work to do on site, we are happy.

It was also at that stage that I met my first love.She was such a great time to be with that I often skipped work to date her.When we were together, I would tell her the funny things that happened on set.Until one day, after her parents heard about my profession, they flatly asked her to break up with me, without any room for negotiation.I still remember what her father said to this day: "A martial artist will not be successful. Don't touch my daughter." The hardships and dangers on the set are not as big as this sentence hit me.I finally experienced the cruelty of reality for the first time. This kind of trampling on self-esteem is far more lethal than being beaten up by Master at school.After smashing a chair at home, I slowly calmed down and started thinking about the future.Maybe before that, I didn't dare to think about getting ahead and becoming famous, but after that, I knew that there was only one way for me to go in the future.
