Nnadia this year has taken three serials - Knot To Treasure, The Fate
Of The Last Empire and Instinct. Three series, three different roles. She has different feeling to those three roles. "Lin Gi May in The Knot To Treasure is very optimistic. She is happy all day which is opposite to my own personality. Lam Jing Lit in Instincts is the completed version of Lin Far Gei in The Fate Of The Last Empire, only that Lam Jing Lit is a bit self-closing. She is quite mature like me." "Maybe my family background is like Lam Jing Lit's so I can easily get into this role. It seems that she pushes everyone away and is very cool to everyone, however once she meets the boy she loves, she will easily admire him. A good thing about Lam Jing Lit is that she's not nosy. She won't check on her boyfriend's whereabouts all the time. And the other person is always the one to talk first." "Is it like you?" I ask. Nnadia answered, "Usually, I won't push people to talk to me. I always have patience to listen, even the elders. They like to share their stories from the past. I won't feel bored listening to that." Lam Jing Lit's family is dysfunctional. May be it reflects the social problem nowadays. "I know the teenagers nowadays like to take drugs or hurt themselves. They are just too silly. It is not necessary to do so to prove you're grown up." "Do you have any solutions for them?" "This is something you can solve instantly. It takes a long time to guide them. And anyway, every family has their own different set of problems." "Ha Ha! You can be a social worker now!" I laughed. "I have interest in it too!" Nnadia laughed. I can feel Nadia is more relaxed now as she was overcautious in the past. But the so called relaxation is really because in the past, she had a burden. "Do you think you've let go of your burdens?" Nnadia said, "To compare with my old self, nowadays my ability to accept things is much stronger. Take an example, when someone says something that hurts me, I won't run away at once unless he is saying foul language to me. Maybe my personality is weird. I've been described by people like that before." "So what made you change?" "Maybe I've learned to tolerate others. There is an old saying 'Hundred different kinds of people all eat the same rice.' I just don't know why I changed to be optimistic and can even love others just like I love myself. The Bible even says not only love the people you love but to also love your enemy. But I believe that is difficult to do because some people's behaviors are really too bad. So even if you don't love him, at least accept him." Nnadia won't care about the result when doing anything, but she will try her best. Otherwise she'll regret it. I asked if there is anything that she regrets? "Yup," she said. "Especially when I was young, I had to work and study. Plus I'm the kind that grew up late. I was still very confused when I was 18,19. I believe everyone also has undergone this period. To never grow up is not a good thing." "Is your self-protection very strong?" Nnadia thought for a while and said, "I think everyone in the entertainment circle is self-protective. Everyone is waiting to love others and be loved. I am not an exception." Does that include the love between males and females? Nnadia said naughtily, "Maybe my red string is too long. [Vonny - FYI - Chinese people have a myth that a red string is attached to everyone's feet when we are born. That string connects to our destined lover. As we grow up, the red string becomes shorter and we get closer and closer to our destined lover.] I still cannot find my true love. But if I do find him, I will definitely hold onto him like a magnet." (TV Week #1415 December 15-23, 1994) |
