Speaking of Li Ruiying, many people blurted out a sentence that was:
"The six relatives do not recognize the broadcast, and the CCTV national face has worked for 28 years with zero mistakes."
It is not easy to cultivate a national treasure-level host, so most of the early anchors have a long "on-the-job life".
Unless you have a serious illness, you usually don't retire until you are around 60 years old.
But Li Ruiying is special.
On May 28, 2014, I finished my last shift.
At only 53 years old, Li Ruiying retreated into the background and said goodbye to the "News Network".
Why is it that in the prime of her life, she gave up the "CCTV iron rice bowl" that others dreamed of?
28 years of work with zero mistakes, but the family relationship is tense, what has Li Ruiying done?
At the age of 38, his son fell from a building.
She tearfully said 28 words, and then got busy with work, "ignoring and not asking."
After this decision, the son wrote only Dad in the family relationship column.
Li Ruiying has regretted it so far, and has said countless times: The most sorry thing in this life is the child.
Behind the scenery, who can read the helplessness of a mother?
01
For the first time, Li Ruiying intersected with broadcasting.
It is 2 weeks before the college entrance examination.
College entrance examination, thousands of troops and horses cross the canoe bridge.
Naturally, there is a sense of tension and oppression.
Closer and closer to the college entrance examination, Li Ruiying, a large and small test, is getting worse and worse.
Many questions are obviously available, and when the exam is taken, they are confused.
Those knowledge points have obviously been memorized, but the on-the-spot play is blank.
Li Ruiying was in a hurry.
Growing up, she has been a "child of someone else" in all populations.
Moreover, the military father has given high hopes for Li Ruiying's future.
He hoped that his daughter would enter the military school with excellent results and have the opportunity to serve the country in the future.
This juncture is on the bone.
Li Ruiying was confused.
Being a soldier is a very honorable thing, but it is not something that Li Ruiying really wants to like.
Compared with strengthening the body, defending the family and defending the country.
She prefers the charm of words and the aroma of books.
Words for Li Ruiying.
Like a warm bed, in the arms of words can make her body and mind relax.
That kind of anxiety, only from the sea of books and words, can find the comfort of the soul, feel a moment of comfort and tranquility.
Especially the vibration of the chest cavity after the recitation, that kind of comfort, let Li Ruiying fascinated.
Standing at the most important intersection of life, is it to abide by the original intention? Or inherit the mantle of your father?
Li Ruiying did not know.
A week before the exam, Li Ruiying was wandering around the university campus where she was preparing to take the exam.
I met an old professor with white hair and a newspaper in his hand.
Li Ruiying, who has always been implicit, did not know where the courage came from and stepped forward.
"Hello, can I delay you a little bit and read a newspaper passage to you?"
The old man looked at the girl in front of him and readily agreed.
After reading a paragraph, Li Ruiying asked:
"How do you think I read?"
The old gentleman nodded and gave affirmation:
"Xiao Nizi, your level is good, and you can't leave the Beijing Broadcasting Institute for eight or nine."
Many years later, I recall this funny story.
Li Ruiying was always full of emotions.
I actually lack a voice of affirmation.
Without knowing who the other person is.
If he dares to say it, I will believe it.
At that time, I didn't know that the person who listened to me read the newspaper was Teacher Zhang Song.
02
Who is Zhang Song?
A titan and elder figure in the broadcast industry.
It is probably equivalent to Guo Degang's position in the cross-talk circle and Zhao Benshan's position in the sketch circle.
More than these two people.
Why?
These two people can be regarded as inherited and carried forward at most.
Before Zhang Song, there was no broadcast in the university subjects.
It was this old gentleman who single-handedly made broadcasting an independent portal and became an independent university discipline.
If it weren't for him, the mainland broadcasting discipline wouldn't have existed at all.
To Say, Fate is really a very magical thing.
By chance encounter, the person who dares to say is not an ordinary old man, but a broadcaster.
Although people who dare to believe are just starting out, they are indeed god who appreciates food and eats, and his ability is outstanding.
In the darkness, Li Ruiying ate the bowl of rice of the broadcast.
During college, Li Ruiying and Zhang Yuyan, a male classmate of Qingmei Zhuma, secretly had a relationship and established a romantic relationship.
In 1993, Li Ruiying ended his 4-year university career and received two recruitment invitations.
On one side is CCTV.
On the other side is the Jiangsu local station that has just begun to be formed.
People want to go up.
But any normal person knows how to choose.
Who knows that CCTV is really not the first choice for Li Ruiying.
She feels that CCTV is all industry leaders, and it is too difficult to survive, so it is better to follow the local station to start from 0.
Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
In Jiangsu, Li Ruiying's career progress is not very smooth.
Because of the large talent gap, Li Ruiying is like a brick, where it is needed, she will move to wherever it is needed.
There was a shortage of people in front of the curtain, and she made up as a host.
There was a shortage of people behind the scenes, and she carried the camera behind the scenes.
There was a shortage of people on the exterior, and she was carrying a bag and carrying equipment around on business.
She's even done planning and editing, which has little to do with broadcasting.
Without contrast, there is no harm.
The various posts have been turned over and over again, and Li Ruiying found that his favorite job is still the host.
In 1986, CCTV once again extended an olive branch to her.
You know, in the 80s, it was difficult to jump from local stations to CCTV.
The host circle casually brought one out, and it was all hanging on the local stage.
From this point of view, Li Ruiying's strength does have two brushes.
Although he did not enter the door of CCTV' house, he relied on his strength to let CCTV make a second invitation.
This is not a treatment that anyone can have.
Career sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher, and love has also ushered in a happy ending.
In the second year of transfer to CCTV, Li Ruiying ended his long-distance love run with Zhang Yuyan for many years.
With the support of both parents, a small but intimate wedding was held.
03
Behind everyone's success, there are many unknown hardships.
Behind Li Ruiying's scenery is extreme self-discipline and diligence.
In order to stand out among the CCTV hosts the Tiantuan, Li Ruiying bought a copy of the Xinhua Dictionary.
Eating, waiting, makeup, even before going to bed at night.
I also have to take it out to see for an hour, and the thunder can't move.
The brand new dictionary was turned over for 1 year and became tattered.
The explanation of various words in the book, the pronunciation of strange characters and traditional characters, was memorized by Li Ruiying.
In addition to oral broadcasting, Li Ruiying has never relaxed in all aspects.
No matter what show she hosts, she reviews the manuscript in advance to ensure that there are no professional mistakes.
In addition to hosting the program, Li Ruiying also maintained the habit of reading literary masterpieces, celebrity biographies, and news reports.
The books he has read and the roads he has traveled have become the cornerstone of Li Ruiying's success.
In 1987, Li Ruiying appeared on the screen for the first time as a CCTV news announcer.
In 1991, Li Ruiying boarded the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and lived in the ranks of the pillars of the CCTV station.
At the peak of his career, Li Ruiying was once again faced with a choice.
Although the husband does not "give birth", the in-laws are getting older.
The mother-in-law is also paralyzed in bed for many years because of a serious illness.
The desire to hold grandchildren is getting stronger and stronger.
Continue your career, or return to your family.
A very real problem was placed in front of Li Ruiying.
Family and career have been difficult to balance since ancient times, especially for women.
After thinking about it again, Li Ruiying began to welcome the birth of a new life.
In 1992, Li Ruiying became pregnant.
The process of pregnancy is not difficult.
The whole family rejoiced in this upcoming little life, but Li Ruiying did not want this child to become a stumbling block in his career.
In the first trimester, insist on recording against morning sickness.
Even if you vomit until you collapse, you insist on doing high-intensity work like a normal person.
In the third trimester, I soaked in the studio all day with a big belly.
During that time, I had nightmares every day, dreaming that I was overwhelmed by blank manuscripts on the radio.
--Li Ruiying
When I woke up, I was scared out of a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the dream is completely opposite to reality, and she is puffy and pregnant in front of the camera.
Still dutiful, no mistakes.
04
On January 1, 1996, the "News Network" was revised.
Started broadcasting in the form of live broadcasting.
This is the first major reform that News Network has carried out in so many years since it was broadcast.
As the news column with the longest broadcast time and the highest rating on CCTV.
The anchors of the first generation of "News Network" were Li Juan, Zhao Zhongxiang, Xing Qianbin and others.
They set a dignified, calm tone for The News Network.
So after the revision, who should shoulder the beam?
After careful consideration, Li Ruiying and Luo Jing were elected by many votes.
The selection of these two people is not surprising to the people of the whole country.
After all, looking at the entire CCTV, there are many capable people.
But the only people who made 0 mistakes in the Eight Classics were Luo Jing and Li Ruiying.
Live broadcast, there is no room for half a point of mistakes.
Moreover, the appearance and broadcast emphasis of the two men are biased towards the direction of mature atmosphere, which is in line with the theme and tone of CCTV's "News Network".
From any point of view, Li Ruiying and Luo Jingjing are the best choices.
Nor did they disappoint the leadership and the audience.
He fell generously on the stage and was awarded the highest honor of "national face" and "national voice" by the audience.
But outside the aura, cold and warm self-knowledge.
Work and family are a matter of fish and bear paws.
You can't have it both ways.
After several years of child-rearing life, Li Ruiying has been working diligently for most of the time.
The fast-paced life makes her ignore the happiness of her children and forget the importance of companionship for children.
When he was 5 years old, Li Ruiying's son asked Li Ruiying:
"Mom, why do you want children?"
Li Ruiying pondered for a long time and replied:
"For the sake of a happier family."
The child frowned:
"But Mom, you're not happy at all."
"I let you play with me, you are not happy; I want to eat the food you make, you are not happy, only when you work, you will be happy. ”
This dialogue left Li Ruiying dumbfounded.
That day, Li Ruiying remembered what Mr. Daniel said: "No matter how successful you are, the real success is to accompany your family." ”
In this regard, she had no doubt and took a failing score.
She also wanted to save, but there was no chance.
First of all, news anchors are the dream professions of people who have lofty pursuits in the broadcast hosting profession, and there is no second.
In other words, countless young reserves have spent enough time in the radio and television system, and they have worked hard in their jobs without wanting to work silently for 20 years.
None of them are necessarily on the "News Network".
Quitting the "News Network", Li Ruiying was not willing.
Even if he is willing, he must find the right person within the system and take over Li Ruiying's work.
She can only step down.
After thinking about it again, Li Ruiying could only hire a nanny at home first.
On the one hand, it reduces the burden on the elderly, and on the other hand, it takes care of the children's living.
05
Behind the calm, a storm is brewing.
In 1998, Li Ruiying was 38 years old.
Prepare for the live broadcast as usual.
20 minutes before the start of the broadcast, I received a call from the nanny.
"The child's life is in danger when he falls from the building, come quickly."
"I don't dare move him... His face was covered in blood now... You're coming back soon. ”
At that moment, Li Ruiying's world was still.
The sky is spinning.
Her heart was like a big hole, penetrated by the cold wind of the cold winter moon.
The limbs also stiffened.
Li Ruiying got up from the standby room and stumbled out.
It wasn't until I went outside and was shrouded in sunlight that I regained a bit of sanity.
It's about to start.
I left on my own, and I had to open the skylight in the stage.
Now it is too late to change people.
What to do?
Subsequently, Li Ruiying tearfully dialed the nanny's phone and slowly spoke:
"Listen to me, you are now calling 120 to take the child to the hospital, and I will go right away after the work at hand."
28 words, as if to exhaust all of Li Ruiying's strength.
After 2 minutes, she sorted out her mood and sat in front of the camera before the start of the broadcast, successfully completing the day's work.
Then he didn't have time to remove his makeup and rushed to the hospital emergency department.
Outside the emergency room, a heavy lead door was isolated from the outside world.
For Li Ruiying, this door is more like the last barrier separating the human world from death.
I don't know how long I sat, but the emergency door has not been fully opened.
She staggered to the door, clutching the doctor's arm with a panicked face.
"Save him, he's still so young."
Like a man on the verge of drowning in the sea, grasp the last straw of life.
After receiving the news that the child has turned around and can be sent to the ward.
This mother, as if suddenly drained of all her strength, sat on the ground and silently shed tears.
Because he was too anxious, Li Ruiying did not intentionally cover up his image during his stay in the hospital.
The news that she still insisted on her work during her son's fall was exposed on the Internet by countless netizens.
Words like "cold-blooded," "heartless," and "impersonal" poured in.
Li Ruiying's behavior has been criticized by countless netizens.
But her choice has made countless people admire and tear up.
As a public figure, she sacrificed her children and did not disgrace the face of the country.
After this incident, Li Ruiying was finally relieved.
Responsibility is something like a layer of life's shackles.
While enjoying its splendor, you have to endure the ordeal it brings.
She owes too much to her children and no longer wants to miss out on their growth.
From this day on, in addition to the "News Network" that really could not find a successor, Li Ruiying quit many jobs.
The focus of life is on the child.
When filling in the enrollment information from elementary school to junior high school, the son filled in only the name of the father in the family relationship column, while the mother column was vacant.
After Li Ruiying learned this news, he was very sad.
She thought her son was still remembering and hating himself.
Sensing Li Ruiying's guilt, the son said:
"Mom, I know you're a public figure, I just don't want to be unnecessarily cared for by your reputation."
In the face of this answer, Li Ruiying was both relieved and sad.
In 2014, at the age of 53, Li Ruiying, who had worked for 28 years and had worked for zero mistakes, officially left the post of "News Network".
In 2016, he officially retired.
The reason for this is largely because after thousands of sails, Li Ruiying wants to take time to accompany his family.
epilogue
After Li Ruiying left the camera, her husband Zhang Yuyan also retired early.
Nowadays, Zhang Yuyan is idle except for some necessary work things.
In addition to occasionally attending training activities, Li Ruiying returned to his alma mater to give lectures and educate people.
Dressed simply, it is no different from ordinary housewives.
There is no depression between the eyebrows that are disturbed by trivialities, the tone is very good, and what is revealed between the hands and feet is the elegance and intellectual beauty after the precipitation of the years.
On April 22, 2022, he was appointed as the Reading Promotion Ambassador of Sichuan Provincial Library.
Li Ruiying went to Chengdu Experimental Primary School to accompany the children to participate in the reading activity of "Reading Unlimited and Moving towards the Future".
Although he lost the aura of "national face" and "national voice", he got the happiness of a mother.
Finally, Shu'er came to the end of a poem.
When the mother does not hurt the child, the six relatives do not recognize the reason;
Dedication and love for the family are difficult to have both, and it is not advisable to generalize.
