A 1960s *Kuaca* star, once a household name, died of lung cancer in 1997. Her two ex-husbands never showed up at her funeral, only her nephew was there to see her off.
In 1997, 53-year-old actress Yang Yaqin passed away due to illness. At her funeral, only her nephew came to pay his respects; neither of her two husbands ever showed up, nor did they even send a wreath.
She was Yang Yaqin, who played Juanzi in the 1960s film *Bitterweed Flower*. Back then, the film was a sensation across the country, and her image was often printed on New Year’s paintings, making her a household name.
At the age of
fifteen, Yang Yaqin joined a theater troupe to study the craft. Having lacked family support since childhood, she had always longed for a stable home. Later, through an introduction by a supervisor at her workplace, she married a security guard. However, their life philosophies were worlds apart; she tried to put up with it time and again, but in the end, the marriage ended in divorce.
At the age of forty, she met a Hong Kong businessman. Believing she had finally found someone to rely on, she devoted herself to him wholeheartedly, only to be let down in the end.By the time she wanted to return to the entertainment industry, her former position had long been taken by rising stars. She could only play minor, unremarkable supporting roles in productions; no one remembered the young girl who had once become a national sensation for her portrayal of Juanzi.
After Yang Yaqin was diagnosed with lung cancer, her condition deteriorated rapidly. Only her nephew remained by her bedside to care for her; the two men who had promised to spend their lives with her in her two marriages never appeared until the very end of her life.
People who
grew up lacking love subconsciously seek warmth from others, repeatedly compromising their principles, always believing that if they just hang in there a little longer, they’ll eventually be rewarded with genuine affection—only to end up draining their lives completely.
There’s no shortage of women like this around us—they spend their entire lives revolving around their husbands and children, never allowing themselves any breathing room. By the time their value as a source of support is exhausted, they find themselves without even a foothold in life.
From now on, remember this: hold onto your savings and cherish your own interests. Others are never the most reliable source of support—a truth you should have realized long ago.
