Beijing, September 28 (Zhongxin Net) -- The 22-year-old Qingli is a person who can radiate energy to the surroundings at any time.
As a "born E-man", he can always quickly and relaxedly enter new environments and open his heart to the camera.
Although he is now quite fluent in Chinese communication, if he feels that his answer does not accurately express his inner thoughts, he will change several expressions to repeatedly add, and finally smile apologetically at everyone, "Sorry, this answer is too long." ”
Like the current journey to his dream, he firmly knows the final answer - "I will be better in the future, definitely." However, on the way to the top, he still tried everything and walked everywhere, believing that in the end, he would always find the path that worked best for him.
What was certain was that now, he would no longer doubt himself.

Instead of crying, this time I laughed
"I'm used to it." The moment he learned that he was eliminated in "Stage 2023", Qingli's mood was very calm, which was the result of his practice in advance.
He smiled and said to the guests Park Jae-beom and Joo Shen that this scene felt familiar, "The last time the show was in the top eleven, I was twelfth, and this time I was in the top five and I was sixth." ”
From the closed beta stage to the fourth gong, he practiced wildly in the continuous rhythm of work, flew to Korea to adapt and arrange, and added his own stage design, hoping to do his best every time. Because he always said to the variety show director who followed the film, maybe this is the last stage in the show.
Only once did he not have this idea - when the second gong "Swim" stage, it was also the song he first performed when he and his partners came to China to participate in "Creation Camp 2021" two years ago.

Many fans remember the moment when Qingli first appeared that year: the youngest walked in the middle of the trio, strode meteors, and then raised his chin to make a wink at the camera, "spirited teenager", which was everyone's first impression of him.
In the closed beta stage of Stage 2023, he challenged the role of "adventurer" and ended up in the penultimate place due to the new format.
When I was prepared, I was asked by the director, do you think this performance can give everyone the mercy of coming back? He cried in front of the camera.
"To be honest, I'm not a crying person, after the closed beta stage, I found that there are many problems that have not been solved, I told Oscar that I am very stressed, but in fact, I need to cry, if I cry, I can let go." Now that he talked again, his expression returned to relaxed, "It's okay if the camera captures me crying, but I hope it's still handsome crying, not ugly crying." ”
How long did it take to get out of the regret of that card slot two years ago?
Qing Li took off her sunglasses and put them on again, and changed her thinking movements several times, "Let me think... Frankly...... Probably...... It's hard to say. ”
Like a growing scar, he would think about it repeatedly over the past two years.
For a long time after the show, Qinglian would always find his friend Oscar to play with, "I only had him then." "The two were 12th and 13th in the finals, and during those difficult days, they would always talk about their feelings and encourage each other.
Now, the two who stood on the show together looked back, "We are still struggling together." ”
It may not be the "new Qingmeri" that everyone imagines
"I'll go to the finals to support my friends, and then I'll finally be able to relax as an audience, but I'll also worry that when I look at them I might think, I'm not on stage, but that's okay."
When answering questions, Qingli always likes to use the expression "but", and it will be a little sad not to make the top 5, but he understands that ranking is not the most important thing in life, but he will feel sorry for the fans who have always supported him.
He cares a lot about how his fans feel. On the "Music" stage, he is especially proud to show the "fastest rap" again, because the rap two years ago left fans with a "cool impression". Between recording the show, he saw on the screen that at least three fans were wearing necklaces of their own design, excitedly pulling their teammates on the side and saying, "This is what I did!" ”

Before participating in "Stage 2023", he went through three interviews and doubted himself three times, but with a strong desire to show everyone a "new celebration", he tried hard to keep the audience and fans happy.
Until one day, when a contestant was chatting, he felt that he seemed to have changed a lot compared to two years ago, "You think too much now, Qinglian is not like this." ”
At that moment, he realized that everyone's impression was still stuck in "that Qingmeri", and the "self-confidence Qingmeri" that he thought he was ready may not be the most real state at the moment.
"Now I think, yes, I'm not enough, but I have potential." He hopes to continue to be his true self, maybe not yet as everyone imagined, but he has not stopped trying.
Slowly putting away the gains and losses, Qinglian began to enjoy the stage, from the inner test stage to the fourth gong, the state was also more and more comfortable with the naked eye, "The most important thing on the stage is to maintain the feeling, I need to improve, but the feeling of happiness and relaxation at the moment is the most important." ”
When many people still think that he is a fledgling child, he has become the leader of the league, helping the players design stage movements and enliven the team atmosphere, hoping to create happier memories with everyone. In Qingli's view, this kind of leadership may be innate to Aries, "I have always led myself. ”
Whether on or off stage, everyone will always mention Qingli's growth, and if he is allowed to summarize it himself, he feels that it is a change in thinking: before he always thought that he needed to get that Top, and he was always anxious about it, "Now my thoughts are that it doesn't matter if I haven't fulfilled my dream, because I can enjoy the scenery along the way, but I don't doubt myself, there are other Tops." ”
Another change is that he begins to enjoy solitude. "I used to think it was bad to feel lonely, but now I like it because I know I don't have to rely on other people, I can be myself, of course I still need friends and staff, and I'm happy to be around me with good people."
Two years ago, Qingli released a song "To Dependent", and now, he is walking in the opposite direction of the song title.

I'm still sculpting myself
"Out of your comfort zone." This is Qingli's favorite Chinese recently, and it is also his attitude to life.
The other day, he learned the difference between "artist" and "artist" in Chinese context, and the meaning of the two was the same in the culture he was familiar with.
He didn't want people to think that he was an immodest person, but the artist he always wanted to be was an outlet for more expression of his creativity, such as music, MV, vlog, design, and movies that he always wanted to try.
In fact, being an actor was Qingli's first dream when he was a child, and to this day, his biggest wish is to see Jackie Chan with his own eyes. But now he won't try it for the time being, because he hopes that it will be his best performance in the best movie.
"If I don't think I'm enough, I won't, and now my dream is to continue to be good at the moment." Of course, if one day he needed a movie to express himself, he would do it.

Qingli often comes up with many new inspirations, and recently, he is busy preparing for his upcoming tour and new album, but because there are so many styles he wants to try, he hopes that the album can help him "simple" and really find the "voice of Qingmeri".
The other day he wrote a very funny song, curious whether anyone would like it when it was put on the album, "I wanted to know, so I did it." ”
In the early twenties, the path of life is not fixed, there are still many opportunities for trial and error, and after challenging many styles and things, you will naturally find your own answer. This is what he wants to say to his fans, and what he wants to say to himself.
Despite no longer doubting herself, Qinglian always felt that she was "not enough". New stage, new song, new vlog... He is trying to carve and paint a new Qingmeri in many ways until he becomes 100% and reaches his own top.

Some time ago in Paris, Qinglian saw a lot of shining singers and artists, and wanted to come forward to chat, but realized that they might not know themselves, so they improvised a freestyle in the car, which now seems more like a letter to the future:
"I hope you work hard enough, fortune and good luck will always be with you, and when your name can be loud enough that someone and many people can know you, I hope you can see the difference between me and you at that moment." (End)
