Peaked too soon, that's not good! The observations of the twelve-year-old girl who'd won best actress of the Golden Horse Film Awards here recently, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Audrey Lin, at age eleven, had taken the prize for BEST ACTRESS in the Golden Horse Awards for "Trouble Girl", became the youngest best actress in history. Comparing to the best actor, Keng Ren Wu, their experiences in life are, so far, apart.
When Wu was young, his parents divorced, so started in his middle school years, he'd begun working odds and ends, he'd worked as a temp in the construction sites, waiter at restaurants, sold items on the road side stands, tended bars, and all of these work experiences, made him, known the ways of the, world, and so, as he'd portrayed the roles, he'd, portrayed them, quite, well; whether it be Kuo in "A Touch of Green", or the human rights attorney, in "The World Between Us", it showed, of his, acting, skills.

As for the twelve-year-old winner, Lin had yet to experience, the ups and downs, the good and evils of human nature yet, hadn't weathered through the life-changing experiences, and so, even as she'd been endowed with, the excellent, performing, skills, and won the Golden Horse, is it, really, beneficial for her, in her, life?
Just like the director, Ang Lee stated, "we can give her too much praises for now, I hope she could, act a little less, get more, education, and slowly, grow into the field of, acting." Hoping, that these, words from the wise, the youngest best actress, Lin will, hear and take to her heart, so she will, radiate brightly, and continue to bring, more wonderful works for her, audience.
So, this, is on how we shouldn't, give up on our education, just because we excelled in sports, acting, music, or whatever, because, having the fundamentals of basic levels of education is what we can, build up on, no matter if it is to help us gain more depth of understanding of the world, but, a lot of the younger performers, after they got the spotlight, they'd, quit school, and only focused on the acting, the singing, or whatever it is that's gotten them under that spotlight in the first place, and, they usually, end up, badly.
