Since Chinese actress Zhao Wei announced her divorce from Huang Youlong at the end of last year, she has been constantly updating her social media. Following her previous post of a short-haired selfie playing with a cat, this time she shares another selfie, in black and white.
She also quotes the words of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a pioneer figure in Tibetan Buddhism, to simultaneously heal the minds, bodies, and spirits of her fans: "True courage is not forcing oneself to say 'I'm not afraid,' but rather being willing to acknowledge one's own weaknesses. It's like not frantically bandaging a wound but allowing it to be exposed to the air. For example, you are afraid of being rejected and always pretend to be 'capable of everything,' when in reality you harbor deep insecurities.
However, if you try to admit 'I'm actually afraid of losing recognition,' this courage to face vulnerability will instead free you from the grip of fear. Just like when a wound is exposed, it may hurt, but the air helps it scab and heal. When you stop avoiding your inner vulnerabilities, the things that once frightened you (like criticism and failure) will no longer have power over you. This is true fearlessness."
