Recently, Hong Kong star Wu Haokang lost his job and changed careers to build a scaffolding at the construction site, which has aroused the attention and discussion of the outside world. Wu Haokang's drug-related, derailment and other negative incidents once became the focus of attention, and he changed careers to work on the construction site and worked hard to make money to support his family, which also won the admiration of some audiences. In some contrast with Wu Haokang, Taiwanese actor Lin Daoyuan also debuted in the entertainment industry, but he has a completely opposite life trap.
Lin Daoyuan was born in 1987, and like Wu Haokang, he also debuted through a talent show and became a singer. However, unlike Wu Haokang, who is outstanding-looking and makes a living by appearance, Lin Daoyuan is a "powerful person" who weighs nearly 200 pounds. Although his appearance is far from Wu Haokang, Lin Daoyuan's love life is relatively stable. He married a girlfriend outside the circle in 2015, and the two have a very loving relationship. Lin Daoyuan's wife took the stage name Shizuka after entering the entertainment industry and became a frequent guest on variety shows.
36-year-old Lin Daoyuan and his wife Shizuka have a son and a daughter, and they have spent seven years itching. However, recently, Lin Daoyuan publicly complained about his wife's stinginess in a show, and only gave him 2,000 Taiwan dollars (about 450 yuan) as pocket money every month. For a starlet who is barely considered a public figure, this is obviously too little. In order to make more money, Lin Daoyuan once donated blood in exchange for convenience store vouchers, hoping that his friends could help him exchange some cash after settling the bill. This move sparked sympathy from the audience, and the host even couldn't help but get up and hug him, and the audience began to ask his wife to give him more pocket money.
However, his wife did not change her degree for this, and insisted that she was only willing to add it to 2,100 Taiwan dollars (about 470 yuan), that is, an extra 20 yuan per month. The wife explained that Lin Daoyuan was a typical moonlight family before marriage, and he didn't even have 10,000 Taiwan dollars when he got married, so the economy after marriage was controlled by her, and 450 yuan per month was only used as Lin Daoyuan's pocket money standard, and did not include his food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses. In fact, she also has a special coin purse for him to access at any time.
For this matter, it has sparked heated discussions among local netizens. Some netizens believe that Lin Daoyuan's wife restricts his pocket money to a certain extent for the family's economic stability and his health. Lin Daoyuan suffered from a variety of complications due to excessive obesity, such as high blood sugar, high blood lipids, high blood pressure, high uric acid, and also suffered from diabetes and mild fatty liver. Doctors told him that his health was just one step away from sudden death. Therefore, the wife's restriction of his pocket money is also to control his diet as much as possible, so that he does not spend money to eat seaweed.
In fact, after 8 years of hard work to save money, Lin Daoyuan's family has moved out of the old house of four generations and moved into a new house, which is convenient for their children to go to school. Although his family has a 30-year mortgage and elders to take care of, Lin Daoyuan found a job as a food delivery outside the entertainment industry, earning 30,000 Taiwan dollars (about 7,000 yuan) a month, all for his family.
Finally, I hope that Lin Daoyuan's remarks complaining about his wife are just the effect of the show, not the real complaints. As celebrities, although they may be at the bottom of the entertainment industry, from the perspective of ordinary people, it is already quite happy for a family to be together, have a house to live in, make money, and live a dull life, and we should cherish the existing happiness.
