Wuhu, where the mountains and rivers are mirrored, is quiet and refreshing, which is Pei Bei's hometown and the destination of her and designer Qi Yueqi in this issue of [Model Diaries]. Through the misty ten miles of streets and following their steps, we once again began to find new faces.
"Wuhu is a city with half city mountains and half city water, now think about the rainy days when I was a child, I just don't play umbrellas, I like this feeling of rain." On the day of the shooting, when it was raining, Pei Bei walked on the wet bluestone road with an umbrella, sharing with us the happy moments of her childhood memories.

When she was a child, she liked to go to Mirror Lake Park every morning with her grandmother to practice her sword, slide on the arch bridge, climb up and down, and don't know how many times her legs were broken. For her, the happiness of her childhood was always so simple and beautiful. Running around in the library of Mirror Lake, watching a movie at the Hundred Flowers Theater, she likes to sit on the second floor and watch the drama, every day is very happy, and it is the norm of her childhood to enjoy it.
Pei Bei also shared with us her childhood nickname "Tang Wang", which originated from her favorite soup when she was a child, and her favorite snack was also Xiaolongbao. Every day before going to school, Pei Bei's mother would always buy her a cage of small dumplings, and she could eat all 20 at a time. Although Pei Bei does not often live in Wuhu, she still loves to eat those snacks that grew up with her, and every time she goes back, she loves to go to Geng Fuxing to eat various snacks.
This time in Wuhu to find a new face, Pei Bei also took Qi Yueqi to the Flower Street Primary School where she used to study, the school is no longer there, but the snack bar and smith shop opposite are still there. The owner of the shop proudly introduced the shop to them that this shop is already the third generation, but I did not expect that Pei Bei was an old Wuhu person, "I know, when I was a child, I went to school at Huajie Primary School, and I liked to eat the radish head of your family." ”
Talking about how to embark on the road of modeling, Pei Bei's experience is also inseparable from the cultural nourishment of Wuhu. In her second year of junior high school, Pei Bei's school and home had some book kiosks nearby, and when she was out of school, she would go to see if there were any interesting comic books, and accidentally saw a modeling contest in a magazine, which was the first time she knew about models. The model competition requires a height of more than 175cm, which deeply touched Pei Bei's heart, "I feel as if I can try it, although I have never touched it." Pei Bei's parents were also very supportive of her, and later won the award in the competition, which gave Pei Bei a lot of courage and confidence.
Compared with the youth when she first entered the industry, Pei Bei now has more mature temperament and more identity, and now she is the mother of two babies, which gives her more different perspectives on the modeling industry. In the face of the fast pace of the modeling industry, she feels that this is the embodiment of the booming industry. "Adapt slowly, but don't have to catch up with them all, so as not to change." In her opinion, the standard of a good model is both professionalism and personal charm.
Just like a script requires different actors, Pei Bei and Qi Yueqi are looking forward to more different new faces. In the process of looking for new faces, they met a newcomer model who had just entered the industry, only 18 years old, when the other party talked about signing a contract for half a year without a job, Pei Bei shared her experience, "Be true to yourself, you must insist, I think all industries are like this." ”

"I think a new beginning is a manifestation of a state. In fact, I really don't think the word 'new' necessarily represents age, I think it is more of a current situation. This is Qi Yueqi's understanding of "New Beginning".
For Pei Bei, "New Beginning" is a new mission, a new force, "I think you can take every time you have to face something as a new beginning, so that you may be more fresh for this matter, and you may express it better." 」 ”
Talking about what is the standard of new face, we get Pei Bei's succinct but concise answer: "All new entrants are new faces." ”
