Young Wu Yujuan
Before Wu Yujuan graduated from junior high school, she was recruited into the Leiyang County Flower Drum Drama Troupe as an actor. Flower drum drama belongs to local drama, the performance space is limited, and the actors often perform on the red and white celebrations in the countryside, and survival is quite difficult.
In 1985, the Leiyang County Flower Drum Theater Troupe was disbanded, and Wu Yujuan was assigned to work as a worker in a local brewery.
Wu Yujuan had just gone to work at the distillery when she found in the newspaper that the Central Academy of Drama was enrolling students nationwide. After many years as a flower drum actor, Wu Yujuan dreamed of continuing to work in literature and art and did not want to make wine in the factory.
At that time, there was no test center in Hunan, and the candidates in Hunan rushed to Wuhan to apply for the examination, so Wu Yujuan hurried to Wuhan.
Wu Yujuan was reluctant to buy a sleeper ticket and stood for more than ten hours before arriving in Wuhan.
At that time, Wu Yujuan's brother had just transferred from the army and gave his sister 50 yuan of pocket money, and Wu Yujuan brought a box of rice and a jar of chili sauce from home to eat on the road.
When Wu Yujuan arrived in Wuhan, it was just in the morning, and what broke her was that the recruitment work had ended the day before, and the teachers were packing up their things and preparing to return to Beijing the next day.

Wu Yujuan, who is usually timid and introverted, did not know where the courage came from at this time, knocked on the doors of several teachers one by one, and truthfully told her difficulty in applying for the examination in Wuhan and her obsession with performing arts.
Looking at Wu Yujuan's tired face, the teachers were moved and let Wu Yujuan take the professional exam. As a result, Wu Yujuan luckily passed.
This year, Wu Yujuan participated in the national college entrance examination, and her cultural achievements did not have the admission score line of the Chinese opera, and she thought that she had no connection with the Chinese opera and shed sad tears.

In the Chinese opera, Wu Yujuan and the same class of Gong Li, Jin Lili, Chen Wei, Shi Ke are the most famous, the media called them "the five golden flowers of the Chinese opera".
Among the classmates, only Wu Yujuan is from the countryside, the family is economically embarrassed, in the first and second years, Wu Yujuan often buys bibimbap with chili sauce in the store because of insufficient living expenses. For $2.6 a bottle of chili sauce, she can eat for a week.
In 1988, when "The Price of Madness" was released nationwide, Wu Yujuan was in her junior year of chinese drama. She and Gong Li and Shi Ke were the most well-known girls in the Chinese opera at that time, and there were people watching everywhere they went.
Several times, Wu Yujuan came out of the practice room and walked in the corridor wearing a tight practice suit, and the windows on both sides were full of boys' heads.
