In 1978, the "News Network" program was born on CCTV.
In the more than 40 years since then, the audience has not only learned about national events through this program, but also met a group of news anchors with outstanding temperament and strength.
Li Xiuping, who is known as the most American face, is one of them.
She worked as a news anchor for 26 years from entering CCTV to retreating behind the scenes. During this period, Li Xiuping won the Golden Microphone Award with extremely high gold content.
He also created a 16-minute temporary oral broadcast with zero mistakes.
In the live broadcast room of "News Network", Li Xiuping will always be an elegant and atmospheric image, and she also has her own fans.
But in fact, in the process of growing up all the way, when returning to life, Li Xiuping is also like the public, with a warm family, with bumpy emotional experiences, but also with some regrets.
01
Li Xiuping was born in 1963, and although she was born and raised in Lanzhou, her father was not.
In 1953, Li Xiuping's father graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University, and with some romantic feelings, he did not choose to go to Beijing, but came to Lanzhou by train with a bag.
Since then, Li Xiuping's father has become a member of the first design institute of the local Ministry of Railways.
In the land of Lanzhou, he broke through a career, became a bridge engineer, and also established a happy family.
Li Xiuping has two older sisters and an older brother, and she is the youngest child in the family. Because of the work relationship, in Li Xiuping's memory, his father was absent from home for many years.
Only when it snows, he will rush back for the New Year, 12 months a year, and his father stayed in Lanzhou for only 3 months.
Although his father was a non-smiling person, every time he came back, he would still hug his little daughter and gently ask her if she missed himself.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the father, like a magic trick, pulled out various snacks from his bag.
Li Xiuping is the youngest, but her mind is very delicate, such as the persimmon cake brought back by her father, she later ate injuries, and she will not show a look of dislike.
Everyone has a dream in childhood. Li Xiuping, who was a child, did not know what a host was, and her dream was to become a teacher when she grew up.
With this dream in mind, she set herself the goal of applying for the teacher training examination. But some regrets, even if she tried very hard, she still fell off the list several times.
In 1983, when an examiner from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute came to the northwest region to enroll, Li Xiuping, who was taking a cram class at the time, suddenly received a notice to take the collective examination.
According to her recollection, the scene was crowded, as if students from all over the northwest had gathered together.
However, although there are many people, because there are very few Mandarin speakers, only 20 students were selected in the preliminary examination, and Li Xiuping is the top one.
Later, she successfully passed the re-examination, and was mistakenly admitted to the Beijing Broadcasting Institute. In fact, she is also the only one of the 4 children in the family to be admitted to other places.

In the public's impression, Li Xiuping is dignified and atmospheric, but in fact, she is the smallest in the family, and her personality is relatively soft and quiet in life.
When she first arrived at the Broadcasting Institute, Li Xiuping felt very uncomfortable, and she even wanted to change majors at one point.
However, perhaps the teacher's guidance eased her emotions, or perhaps she spent the adaptation period in the entanglement, in short, Li Xiuping stayed in the end.
A semester later, she had mingled with her classmates, and when she returned home from vacation, she had even become the person who sent and received the most letters in her family.
For this reason, the father also thought that his daughter was only interested in fun, reprimanded her fiercely, and burned her letter. Although Li Xiuping did not dare to argue, her heart was also very aggrieved, and she left home early on the pretext of going back to school to review.
In school, the more Li Xiuping thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she picked up a pen and wrote a long letter of more than ten pages to her father, pouring all her heartfelt words into the end of the pen.
It was this letter that made Li Xiuping's father realize that his young daughter had also grown up and had rarely taught her about her since.
Under the study and exercise of the broadcasting academy system, she transformed from a little girl who only dared to speak in a humble voice when she met a teacher, to the best among her classmates.
At the beginning of 1987, Li Xiuping and dozens of classmates participated in an audition on the central stage, which was going to select 4 outstanding students to stay in the stage for internship.
Everyone took the opportunity seriously, and the stack of prepared newspapers was quickly divided. When it came to Li Xiuping, who was at the end of the line, there was only one advertising slogan left.
Probably even Li Xiuping herself did not expect that it was with these few advertising words that she successfully stood out and stayed in CCTV for internship.
Half a year passed in a flash, because Li Xiuping was really outstanding, so CCTV wanted to keep her working in the station, and on the other hand, Shanghai Television station also sent people to dig her up many times.
In the face of the olive branch thrown by these two TV stations, Li Xiuping is not moved, in fact, she is a girl who loves her family, even if Beijing and Shanghai are good, she always feels that her hometown is the most suitable for herself, not to mention that there are her parents and siblings there.
It just so happened that at this time, Gansu Television also joined the "talent war", and Li Xiuping naturally returned to Gansu with joy, and she worked for two years at the TV station in her hometown.
At that time, Li Xiuping was in her 20s, and in Gansu she not only began to develop her career, but also had a breakthrough in her feelings.
03
Li Xiuping is a very low-key person, and she is not willing to mention too much about her private life.
According to the information on the Internet, her first husband was an engineer, and in Li Xiuping's own words, there was no vigorous story between them, that is, they fell in love step by step.
If it were not for the central station's obsession with Li Xiuping, perhaps she would stay in Gansu for the rest of her life, but life is full of accidents.
In 1989, CCTV sent a secondment letter to Gansu Television, proposing to transfer Li Xiuping away.
In this way, Li Xiuping left his hometown again and stood in the CCTV news studio. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the new environment, she encountered two dismounts.
Li Xiuping joined CCTV in September of that year, initially as the voice actor behind the scenes. Because she studied broadcast hosting and has two years of work experience, she feels that these are not a problem.
But she did not expect that she was stupid at the moment she got the manuscript, it turned out that not only was the CCTV process different from Gansu, but there were also many abbreviated words in the manuscript.
For example, the word socialism will be written in the manuscript as a social word plus a horizontal.
Li Xiuping was on the job for the first time, and she was not familiar with the handwriting of the writer, she looked at the manuscript in front of her, and her heart was nervous to beat the drum, just at this time Luo Jing saw her embarrassment, came over and substituted her for the voice.
That time Luo Jing's super high professional standards stunned Li Xiuping, and she also secretly decided that she must adapt to everything here as soon as possible.
Since then, Li Xiuping has taken the previous manuscripts, used all available time, and frantically made up for it in the dormitory, with this momentum of not accepting defeat, she will soon be able to do her job.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Jing's last news broadcast on CCTV was also partnered with Li Xiuping. After Luo Jing's death, Li Xiuping said that he was still sad and could not cry.
The first ma wei li xiuping encountered was business, and the second was image.
Li Xiuping has a long black hair since she went to school, and she also had long hair style when she worked at Gansu TELEVISION Station, but soon after entering CCTV, the person in charge here proposed to let her cut her short hair.
Because at that time, Li Xiuping was not only tall and thin, but also had a somewhat long face shape, coupled with a long hair, which looked uncoordinated.
Li Xiuping especially obeyed the leadership arrangement, immediately cut a short hair back, a photogenic look is indeed a lot of pleasing to the eye, after more than twenty years, Li Xiuping is a capable short hair.
04
Here Li Xiuping is trying to adapt to everything on CCTV, and on the other hand, her boyfriend has also made the decision to come to Beijing to develop, and after a period of long-distance love, the little couple finally meets in Beijing.
In 1992, Li Xiuping and her boyfriend entered into marriage, but their married life did not become more warm.
Because of the working relationship, Li Xiuping and her husband are very busy, especially Li Xiuping, and her time is completely around work.
The audience only sees the tens of minutes they broadcast the news, but in fact, the work of the anchor behind the scenes is also very time-consuming.
Sometimes anchors have to go to work at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the evening shift does not end until more than 12 o'clock to go home.
Li Xiuping once helplessly said in an interview that he and her husband could not achieve the same frequency even in their recent basic daily life, let alone others.
Such a lack of communication is naturally not a good thing for couples, and over time, the two of them become more and more speechless.
Therefore, after living together for several years, Li Xiuping and her husband still chose to divorce.
In fact, because of this job, she not only neglected to manage the marriage, but also had a lot less time to spend with her parents.
Since Li Xiuping developed in Beijing, he has rarely had time to return to Gansu. After her retirement, my father would occasionally come to Beijing with her mother to see her, and her dormitory was so small that her parents only stayed in the guest house for two days at a time.
Because of the special nature of the work, the whole family spending the Spring Festival together has almost become a luxury, because every New Year's Day is always Li Xiuping's busiest time.
Before the Spring Festival in 1999, her sister told Li Xiuping on the phone that her father's physical condition was very bad, and asked her if she could return to Gansu on time this Spring Festival.
Li Xiuping was anxious and helpless in her heart, and the staff in the group was particularly tight that year, and she had to wait until the sixth day of the first grade to go back.
The family naturally understood her and did not force anything, Li Xiuping returned home in the sixth grade, accompanied her father with peace of mind, and died 4 days later.
Later, Li Xiuping learned that during the days of waiting for her to go home, every day when she was on duty, her father would always move from the bedroom to the living room with great effort, watching the news in front of the TV.
This detail made Li Xiuping very sad, so after her father's death, she took her mother to Beijing and tried to spend more time with the elderly.
05
After a few years of divorce, Li Xiuping entered a second marriage at the age of 42, and she was 10 years away from her second husband, Zhang Chunxian, and zhang Chunxian had already joined the work when Li Xiuping was in elementary school.
It is said that the two were introduced to each other, Zhang Chunxian has a wealth of social experience, he relied on his own ability, from an obscure little soldier, all the way to the factory technician, assistant engineer.
In the mid-1990s, Zhang Chunxian embarked on a career path again, holding important positions in Yunnan, Hunan and Xinjiang.
After Li Xiuping married Zhang Chunxian, he was still very low-key.
According to CCTV regulations, the host of "News Network" over the age of 52 has to go to work behind the scenes.
So from 2015, Li Xiuping also left the post he had stuck to for 26 years.
Although it may be a little lost at first, her life is actually more free. For example, today's Li Xiuping has grown his favorite long hair, and his dressing style has become more changeable, as if he has returned to the appearance of a young girl.
Now Li Xiuping is 58 years old.
Working hard for his career and returning to his family calmly, Li Xiuping's life can be regarded as very stable and complete. If there is any regret, it is probably that she missed the best time to have a child.
In 2006, Li Xiuping admitted in an interview that she agreed that a woman should have a child to complete the sentence, but for various reasons, she has not done it.
And by the time she thought about it, it seemed too late.
In fact, everyone will have some irreparable regrets, a long life, or to see more good aspects of life.
I believe that with Li Xiuping's open-minded and atmospheric personality, she will also live her future life.
