The Spring Festival Gala stage in 1997 can be said to be unique, because this year there was the addition of "Weather Forecast", which was not before and has not been since, only this year.
The hosts of that year were Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping, when Ni Ping smiled and said the blessings, the camera turned, "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" sounded, wearing a big red slim suit, beautiful face, dignified and generous Yang Dan appeared in front of the big screen and began to broadcast the weather conditions during the Spring Festival for the audience.
This year, Yang Dan was only 24 years old, less than two years as the host of CCTV's "Weather Forecast", although he was young, he never made a mistake when broadcasting the weather, and the typhoon was steady, simple and professional, and vivid, which gave him the opportunity to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Standing 25 years later today, looking back at Yang Dan at that time, you will be surprised to find that her appearance and figure have hardly changed at all, she is still so radiant, youthful and beautiful, and the years have never defeated the beauty, and I am not deceived.
This makes people wonder: what is the charm and story of Yang Dan? Why is it possible to keep freezing age at all times?
To find out the answer to all this, start all over again.
01
In November 1973, Yang Dan fell to the ground in Shaoyang, Hunan.
I have to say that Hunan is indeed a treasure land of feng shui, and the folk song diva Song Zuying, the singer Li Guyi and the host Li Xiang are all from here.
Yang Dan was fortunate to be born into a middle-class family, her father was a senior engineer, and her mother worked in the local library, so she grew up with no worries and food, and she had the opportunity to develop various hobbies.
After several attempts and explorations, Yang Dan gradually liked singing. Seeing the situation, her parents enrolled her in an interest class and asked the teacher to give her professional guidance.
With a good voice and enthusiasm, Yang Dan's singing level quickly improved by leaps and bounds, and won awards in many youth competitions.
Encouraged, Yang Dan decided to apply for the Vocal Department of the Central Conservatory of Music and receive the best musical training.
In order to realize her dreams, she became very disciplined and hardworking, every day was two points and one line, home and school switched seamlessly, and almost all recreational activities were abandoned.
Huang Tian did not pay off, after some efforts, Yang Dan's academic performance was far ahead, the cultural class was solved, and only the professional courses were left below, and this was her best hand, Yang Danton felt that the victory was in hand.
However, fate likes to tease people, Yang Dan was brushed off during the interview, the teacher told her that she was not suitable for singing, seeing Yang Dan was a little frustrated, busy and added: But it is very suitable to be a host.
Yang Dan fell off the list like this, and for a while she fell into confusion, not knowing whether to choose to re-read or go to the society to break through.
At this moment, her mother told her that the Children's Channel of Shaoyang TELEVISION was missing a host and asked her to try it.
Yang Dan retrieved various materials, practiced for a long time, and then made an appointment for an interview, and sure enough, she was successfully admitted.
Hearing this news, Yang Dan's parents were very excited and held a celebration party for her.
During that time at the TV station, Yang Dan had a very happy time, and she felt that she did have the talent to host.
She thought that life would go on like this, but one day Yang Dan saw the enrollment brochure of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute in the newspaper, which made her very interested, so she returned to the campus after consulting with her parents.
After several months of revision sprints, Yang Dan took the college entrance examination again, with a year of host experience and excellent cultural class results, this time she finally won the title of the gold list, was admitted to the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, becoming the only student in Hunan Province to enter the broadcast department of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute that year.
In 1991, under the plane tree of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, there was a slender and beautiful figure - Yang Dan.
Although she went to college, Yang Dan never slackened off, she either studied silently in the library or hosted various activities and conferences.
In this way, Yang Dan not only took a full scholarship, but also won a lot of fame, and gradually became a prominent figure in the school, often receiving love letters from boys.
In this regard, Yang Dan did not care, she remembered her parents' advice, did not want to fall in love during college, so those suitors have returned.
Seeing that the buddies in front of him had become cannon fodder, Tong Qiang immediately tore off the half-written love letter, and then very cleverly chose to take it step by step, starting with friends, and then touching the heart of the goddess step by step.
Tong Qiang himself is also very good, although he is a foreign language department, but has always been self-taught in finance and IT knowledge, with a background of academic bullying as a preparation, Tong Qiang soon found the opportunity to become good friends with Yang Dan, the two often go to the library to study together since this time.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Dan arrived in her senior year, and when her classmates were anxiously looking for a job and finding a way out, she had already begun to intern at the Xinhua News Agency Audio and Video Center.
One day, Yang Dan received a call from her teacher, saying that the Central Meteorological Observatory had an audition and could go to participate in it, and she realized that the weather forecast could also be used as her alternative profession.
In front of every opportunity, Yang Dan will come up with 100% efforts, this audition is naturally no exception, she practiced in front of the mirror countless times, which borrowed a pink suit to go to the Central Meteorological Observatory for interview.
At this time, Yang Dan would not know that this audition would completely change the trajectory of her destiny.
02
After the audition, looking at the slightly green and confident girl in front of her, the interviewer looked appreciative and made a decision on the spot to let her come to work in a few days.
Hearing this, Yang Dan was very excited, and shook the interviewer's hand and thanked him continuously.
Then Yang Dan told Tong Qiang the good news, in order to celebrate, the two went to the restaurant, after a few drinks, Tong Qiang took advantage of the wine to boldly confess his heart, and when he got Yang Dan's affirmative reply, he tightly held Yang Dan's hand.
Yang Dan, who has a double harvest in love, is full of vigor, but what she never expected was that she had doubts about herself on the first day of work.
Yang Dan thought that broadcasting the weather was very simple, just over a minute, what was difficult?
But when she really engaged in this profession, she found that if she wanted to do a good job, she not only needed to have a high level of broadcast literacy, but also needed to have professional geographical knowledge.
Just one news of the tropical storm, less than a minute of manuscript, made Yang Dan dizzy, and it was even more difficult for her to accurately indicate the specific location on the empty green screen while broadcasting the report.
It must be mentioned here that although the audience sees the picture of Yang Dan standing in front of the map, in fact, the map is synthesized in the later stage, and there is only a green screen behind Yang Dan.
Fortunately, Yang Dan has always been a fighter who dares to challenge and face difficulties, and after practicing dozens of times, she has finally been affirmed.
After this incident, Yang Dan really understood what is called a minute on stage and offstage ten years of work, just one minute and forty seconds, she will accurately say more than five hundred words, requiring a high degree of professional quality.
After recording the weather forecast, Yang Dan's nervousness did not end, and she began to worry about what to do if the information was inaccurate, whether it would affect everyone's life.
When it was announced that there was rain in Beijing, Yang Dan would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night to see if there was rain underneath, and this invisible pressure had been wrapped around her.
Looking at Yang Dan, who was worried, Tong Qiang was very distressed, he took Yang Dan's hand and went to KTV, after a show of singing, Yang Dan's mood eased a lot, she began to calm down, seriously thinking about how to do this show well.
At that time, the "Weather Forecast" program was still in its infancy, there was no special meteorological director, the host could only read according to the "Weather Bulletin", which had a lot of obscure professional terms, which made the audience confused and very influential in the transmission of information.
After communicating with everyone, Yang Dan began to transform the theory into easy-to-understand vernacular, adding a lot of emotional vocabulary. This professional and intimate way makes the audience feel very intimate, and the ratings of the weather forecast have also increased significantly.
The difference between the host of "Weather Forecast" and other hosts is that when broadcasting the weather, you must know the geographical information well, so while innovating the form of the program, Yang Dan does not forget the study of geographical knowledge, maps, place names, meteorological information, customs and customs, she is all familiar with it, and it has become a walking geographical encyclopedia.
To be able to pay so much effort for the work, it is very necessary to be enthusiastic, Yang Dan has long fallen in love with the broadcast weather, in her opinion, this job is very suitable for her character, although the weather changes a lot, but it is very simple.
Yang Dan's efforts are also seen by colleagues, and her later choreographer Liu Mingxia once said: "Even if she has hosted thousands of simulcast programs, Yang Danjie treats each program for the first time, without the slightest slackness."
Yang Dan's partner Song Yingjie also commented that she is a spring with sunshine and rain but no sandstorms.
Gold always shines, so in 1997, Yang Dan appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, becoming the first and last beautiful host to broadcast the weather on the spring evening.
Since that day, Yang Dan has also become the dream lover of countless people.
In 2004, Yang Dan stood out from countless peers with her super popularity and won the title of Miss Meteorology of the Year, and her old partner Song Yingjie was called Mr. Meteorology.
Such a talented woman, but also a partner, for a time, the discussion about the relationship between them is very warm.
Unfortunately, the truth is not as people speculate, Yang Dan has long been famous and has a master.

Let's pull the timeline back to 1997.
That winter, Tong Qiang accompanied his parents at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and when he saw Yang Dan appear, the old couple couldn't help but praise this girl for being so beautiful and atmospheric.
Hearing this, Tong Qiang smiled lightly and did not make a sound, and a few months later, he took Yang Dan back home, ready to surprise his parents.
When they saw that their son was actually the host of "Weather Forecast", the old two were excited, and they almost said unfavorable words, and Yang Dan was even more warm and caring.
After meeting the parents, Tong Qiang and Yang Dan put the wedding on the agenda.
In November, after the wedding was over, Yang Dan returned to work.
Because Yang Dan and Tong Qiang have always been very busy at work, the two decided to Dink.
For the matter of Dink, Yang Dan and Tong Qiang, who are busy with their careers, look very open, but Tong Qiang's parents who have traditional concepts can't look away, and in their view, the life of having children is a complete life.
In order to let Yang Dan give up the idea of Dink and let her experience the joy and happiness of being a mother, Tong Qiang's mother thought of a wonderful plan.
She deliberately let the good sisters who live in the same neighborhood take her 2-year-old grandson to their house to play every day after Yang Dan came home from work.
When Yang Dan came home to meet the 2-year-old white fat boy, she liked it very much, she would hold him and play, and her smile was more than ever.
After a long time, Yang Dan's heart was moved, and she felt that it was not impossible to have a child.
So, one night, she said to Tong Qiang, "Let's have a baby, the neighbor's baby is so cute, I also want to give birth to one for you." ”
The next morning, Tong Qiang's parents learned that Yang Dan had given up on Dink's idea, and they were very happy.
They hurriedly assured Yang Dan that after giving birth to the child, Yang Dan could continue to work on his business, and the child would be entrusted to their care.
Seeing that there was no worries, Yang Dan and Tong Qiang immediately began to prepare for pregnancy, and soon there was good news, in 2013, 40-year-old Yang Dan successfully gave birth to a daughter.
Lying in the hospital delivery room, looking at his daughter's cute little face, Yang Dan cried happily.
At this moment, she realized that she had made an incomparably correct decision, because the birth of her daughter filled the shortcomings of her life, and her life was complete.
After taking maternity leave, Yang Dan returned to work and continued to broadcast the weather, and Tong Qiang's parents also kept their promises and took care of their children wholeheartedly.
Yang Dan has always been very grateful to her in-laws for their efforts, because without their support, she would not have been able to maintain the record of zero mistakes in 27 years.
In fact, Yang Dan's record is not only zero mistakes, but also zero aging.
After 27 years, Yang Dan's audience is old, but Yang Dan is still as beautiful as ever, just like that year.
It is said that the years are not spared, but they have spared Yang Dan, and the Creator really prefers Yang Dan.
Therefore, she has the title of "Goddess of Frozen Age".
For how to maintain the "frozen age"? In an interview with the media, Yang Dan admitted frankly: "I think most women in their 40s are similar to my state, and they must know how to love themselves." Usually, the nerves are a little bigger, don't worry too much about gains and losses, honor and disgrace, and always maintain a good attitude, which is very important. ”
Now Yang Dan is 47 years old, has a successful career, a happy family, and a well-behaved daughter, who is a proper winner in life.
But her success and happiness cannot be simply attributed to her luck, because it is inseparable from her efforts and persistence.
Diligence is the last word, luck can only add icing on the cake, can not do a little stone into gold.
Can get everyone's support and love for many years, Yang Dan is worth it.
