After graduating from Beijing Normal University in 2016, she returned to her hometown of Baise to work.

The evaluation of the movie "Beautiful Life" by well-known experts and scholars

"Beautiful Life" has created the image of Huang Wenxiu, an amiable, respectable and credible touching young communist, showing the great rivers and mountains of Guangxi, which not only meets the theme requirements that the main theme film should carry, but also has the artistic personality that the film should have. The film records the poverty alleviation cause in contemporary China and the generation of young people who have devoted themselves to this cause with the pictures and language of the film, which is to establish a legacy for a generation, and also for our great nation and great era.

Xia Chao, chairman of the China Literary and Art Critics Association

The creation of the main theme film is very difficult, but I think that the film "Beautiful Life" is a film with characteristics, novelty and touching to promote the typical heroic model characters of the times, and it is a good film to depict ordinary heroic model characters in the historical process of the new era. The film adopts a documentary style, a scattered structure, a white-painted narrative technique and immersive experience, as well as a non-linear and non-dramatic way of expression. In a very simple, solid and real way, shaping Huang Wenxiu's artistic image is a good film that is grounded, upright, popular and vigorous.

Ming Zhenjiang, chairman of the China Film Producers Association

"Beautiful Life" realizes humanized display, personalized shaping and emotional expression when shaping the character of Huang Wenxiu. While completing such a theme publicity task, the film also provides us with a literary and artistic work with great artistic appreciation value and can move people and move people.

Li Jingsheng, vice president of the China Federation of Radio and Television Social Organizations

I think that the whole film of "Beautiful Life" has made a high degree of integration of beautiful life and beautiful mountains and rivers, so that we feel that in the beautiful mountains and rivers, the energy of youth is really a beautiful life.

Rao Shuguang, president of the China Film Critics Association

"Beautiful Life" is very touching and very zeitgeist. The film's image of Huang Wenxiu is actually shaping the image of a new generation of Chinese youth and setting an example for young people. The film highlights the character image with a series of events and a strong breath of life, and creates a very distinctive work in the critical year of poverty alleviation.
