God works
in mysterious ways. Sometimes the blessing he gives us is just waiting
for the right time to remove its disguise.
璩美鳳 was
originally an ordinary career woman, having somewhat an admirable job.
However, the release of her 45-minute sex video had stripped off the
peaceful veil over her private life and brought
璩美鳳nakedly to
the public. This event has stirred up a string of reactions—regardless
of ages and status, people rushed to get a copy of that video. Various
kinds of related scandals sprang up, and endless videos were produced to
meet the need of massive consumers. Some sarcastically claimed that
璩 has
after all done something beneficial to our society, for many people have
learned the copying, downloading, or other related computer skills while
gathering information on this event. Others coldly said that
璩 deserved
this embarrassing situation, for she had also once put a secretly
recorded video about T-bars on TV news and caused a lesbian to commit
suicide. All in all, most Taiwanese regarded her as the greatest
subject of joke.
While all fierce criticism aiming at
璩, she has
miraculously survived those burning rumors. Thanks to the convenience
of computer technology, Taiwan has turned
璩 into a
world-famous character. She has become so hot that she not only hosts
TV and radio shows in Taiwan, but is now also invited to sing in other
countries such as Singapore! Native or foreign TV news or radio
programs are eager to interview her and get the first-hand report of her
latest movements. Contrary to the shamed face and bitter tears in the
past, 璩
has turned herself into the winner with a radiant smile. Now
璩 has reversed
the roles; with her success, those Taiwanese who laughed at her have
become her subject of joke.
It was 璩』s
fame that had nearly destroyed her, but it is also that fame that helped
her bounce back. Doesn』t God work in the most mysterious ways?
