Rui En has been blaming herself since she knocked over a motorcycle https://t.co/R3hfXAvtys https://t.co/DH2YKd9f0j

The repentant stance that actress Rui En adopted at the recent Star Awards, where she apologised for an incident in which she drove and knocked over a parked motorcycle, continued at a press conference on Tuesday (May 17) for a new Channel 8 drama.

The fantasy melodrama is aptly titled If Only I Could…, and its protagonists are given a second chance to go back in time to change their lives for the better.

Rui En, 35, says: “Who doesn’t want second chances? Who doesn’t want to go back in time, amend mistakes and do the right thing? Such sentiments is especially heartfelt for me now.”

The actress was flamed last month for her behaviour in the traffic incident where she asked the motorbike owner, “Do you know who I am?”, a phrase that she later clarified as telling him that she would not run away without taking responsibility for what she had done.

Asked how she would have handled the situation differently if she were given a second chance, she says she does not know.

“Honestly, I’m in a dilemma. Be it mistakes or success, be it peak or hell, whatever we go through makes us who we are today,” she says.

“Initially I thought if I could go back in time, I would definitely do so – not just to half a year ago, but to the time I was a baby. I wanted to start anew. Then I realised that going through suffering may change a person for the better.”

Through this tough period, she has learnt two lessons: to be grateful and to learn how to forgive herself.

“I’ve never expected the unconditional concern, love and help given to me by my family, friends and colleagues. It has taught me not to take the people by my side for granted. I want to give back the love that they’ve showered on me during this period.”

A self-professed perfectionist, she says that she has been heaping blame on herself since the incident and she vomited at the Star Awards last month because stress triggered her existing gastric ailment.

“I’ve realise that I need to adjust (my mindset). I need to learn how to forgive myself and not put too much blame on myself. It has been tough,” she says.

Another problem she is facing – her inability to shed the extra weight gained for her dowdy character Zhen Hao in If Only I Could….

“I’m not young anymore. After I hit 30 years old, my metabolism rate has dropped. Now I don’t lose weight as fast as before,” says Rui En, who had gained about 7kg and does now know how much of that extra weight she has lost because she is afraid of weighing herself.

“I’ve always felt that stepping on the weighing scale is very demoralising when you find out you don’t lose as much as you expected to. I find it counter-productive.”

She is fighting back against talk about her chubbier face, though.

“Women go through a lot. We get criticised for ageing or putting on weight. Why is our society putting so much emphasis on physical appearance? This shouldn’t be the case.”

If Only I Could… premieres on Channel 8 on May 31 at 9pm. It airs on weekdays at 9pm.

洪铭铧 报道

“如果回到十年前，你还会想成为艺人吗？”，这是记者会上，记者问瑞恩的其中一个问题。

瑞恩在今年4月份因涉及撞到电单车事件，且在事后说出“你知道我是谁吗？”（Do you know who I am?)而引起轩然大波。

红星大奖致谢词时她为事件道歉，并在台上做90度鞠躬，由始至终并未接受媒体访问。

也许时机不对，也许还没准备好。事隔近一个月，她于今日（17日）为新剧进行宣传，首次接受媒体访问。

记者洪铭铧首先问她，你好吗？她思考半刻，微笑回应”我很好，谢谢大家关心”。

她在访问过程末甚至有些眼泛泪光，是什么问题让她如此感触？
