Hahas. Dai Yang Tian's pathetic past found at yahoo(((:
Meet Dai Yang Tian, 24, the up and coming actor of Caldecott Hill.
Dai has swooned the hearts of many girls in his character as a Japanese Soldier Yamamoto Yousuke in the Chinese 8 blockbuster "Little Nyonya".
Indeed, Dai speaks basic Japanese. The 1.85m tall pretty -face guy used to be a model in Japan. Dai's mum runs a restaurant in Japan, while his dad has a business in America.
Despite his parents are running businesses, Dai claimed that he led a hard life since young. Without any reservations, Dai shared about the "hard life" he had gone through.
Since young, Dai seldom spends time with his parents. As Dai's dad spends a large portion of his time in America, he is very much influenced by the western culture. Dai recalls that when he was still a young kid, his dad suddenly told him one day, "When you're 16 years old, I'll stop feeding you. You'll have to go out and work."
At the point in time, Dai did not care much about his dad's words. The 'nightmare' came when he turned 16.
"The year which i turned 16, my dad really kicked me out of the house. He's very much influenced by the western culture, so he felt that i should get a job when i'm 16."
Dai's parents then left him, without leaving a trace. He is all on his own.
Due to his young age and he had to wait a few more weeks before he could collect his identification card, Dai could not get a job at all.
Dai was at a total lost and never in his life had he felt so helpless before. However, he was determined to survive and he pulled through.
As he has no identification card?no one dared to hire him. Lady luck was on his side when he found a shop with the name that is very similar to his name.
"I was thinking they would definitely hire me, just because of my name," Dai said cheekily. And indeed, he was hired. He dared not ask for much. Instead of getting wages, the boss would provide him with lunch and dinner.
Dai had to juggle between his part time job and schoolwork when he was in college. Things became better when he entered the university. He was scouted by a model agency and he became a part-time model.
Thinking back on how his parents abandoned him at such a young age, Dai said that he has never hated his parents for that. "I never blame my parents. This is their way of teaching me; it's a learning process for me. Now, we do keep in contact."
Dai's experiences had molded him to be independent and more strong-willed than others. With this spirit, Dai is all ready to face challenges that will come along the way.
"It is when you've gone through such experiences, then you will really understand the meaning of a Chinese idiom 'bitterness ends and sweetness begins."
