When happiness comes knocking on the door - Ariel Lin

Some people said it's a big transformation when Golden Bell Award gave the Best Leading Actress to an idol series player. Ariel is lucky to become the first one who changed the history at the age of 26. Ariel shows her strong mind to life, expresses her feeling to love and marrige, and what she feels for being an idol TV series actress.

Unstable Childhood
After years of hard work, Ariel helped her mom to repay all debts and buy the new house. Her family doesn't need to rent house for living anymore. "It's not a luxurious house, it's just enough for my mom, my brother and me to live together. I'm busy on decorating recently, and discussing with my mom to decide which material to use or which color for the curtain. My mom is childish, she always said it doesn't matter where to move or what to use, as long as the whole family is living together. Then I would tell her to choose carefully, and never feel regret in the future. Honestly, I'm pretty happy."

Like Matthew (MingDao, one of the well-known Taiwan idol series actors) who used to bargain in the market when he was a child, many of the idol series stars were born in normal families. So was Ariel. She said, her parents divorced when she was little, and her mom cheated her that her dad went to China mainland to work. Until she was in high school, her mom told her the truth after seperating with her dad for more than 10 years. And her mom suddenly had a stroke when she was in high school, Ariel didn't call her dad. " I brought my mom to the hospital by myself. Then I talked to the doctor, and took care of my little brother. I started to realize that I have nothing to rely on but myself."

Inspiring Song
Ariel earned her first fortune by acting in the TV series "True Love" when she was freshman at the National Chengchi University Korean department. Then her mom told her that they owe a big debt while discussing the financing issue with her mom. "I was totally shocked! My mom toiled to raise the family. She earned very little but needed to feed two children. So she had to use ten more credit cards to loan. So year after year the interest is over 10 million Taiwanese dollar. " Ariel grew up at one night at the age of 17 years old, and took over the responsiblity of supporting family from her mom.

Now many people consider Ariel as the inspriring tragedy queen because of her grown-up experience. Ariel also admitted the influence brought by those experience. For instance, she often plays the role that has no good family background but enthusiastic and aspiring. In It Started With A Kiss, Ariel crouched in the corner of the hospital and held the phone trembling, too afraid to dial a number. She wept her heart out eventually. Ariel has a complicated emotion towards credit card. "I hate to use credit card. So I pay back promtly everytime. I don't want to owe one penny to the bank."

Love Management
Lovely Ariel also has her own habit in her daily life, say, the cosmetics need to be placed in a certain order or the shoes need to be sorted out and kept accordingly. It was guessed that incomplete family and taking the responsibility for her family too early made Ariel prematurely senile. Ariel denied about this rumor. "These are nonsense. Actually, I don't dispute to love and marrige. On the contrary, I yearn for a happy and sweet marrige. The love in many dramas I played is very sweet, which gave me good affection and expectation." However, Ariel's answer to her plan for marriagei s still a little negative. " My mom is a traditional woman. She wants me to get married earlier. What's more, my brother has already got a girlfriend, which makes my mom urge me more frequently. And I do think that it's time to get married and have baby, but I don't have any plan yet. I suppose when I go for body check some day, and my doctor tells me that it will be too late if I don't have a baby, then maybe I will get married and give birth immediately."

Every time I read a story about Ariel's past, she just inspires me more and more. She is a beautiful human being in every way. As I've said several times, she is a role model for me and I hope to one day be as accomplished, smart, beautiful, and hard working as her.
