She is the gold medal host of CCTV, she is the resident anchor of "News Network", and she is the goddess in the minds of countless viewers.
She is Li Xiuping, a legendary woman who became famous from four college entrance examinations to CCTV.
However, behind the glory of her career, there is an unknown love story.
She once experienced a failed marriage, she once lost faith in love, she once found her true lover at the age of 42, but she did not have the company of children.
So, how did Li Xiuping, who is now retired, spend his old age? Li Xiuping is arguably one of CCTV's best hosts, hosting "News Network" from 1991 until her retirement in 2017, a total of 26 years.
In these 26 years, she has hardly made any mistakes, whether it is pronunciation, expression, rhythm or content, she is very professional and rigorous.
With her clear and intimate voice, she conveys current affairs news and important information to audiences across the country and around the world.
She has also won widespread praise and respect, and is known as the "most American face" Li Xiuping.
The reason why Li Xiuping can have such an outstanding performance is inseparable from her serious attitude and hard work to work.
It is said that before each recording of the program, Li Xiuping would arrive at the station a few hours in advance, carefully read the manuscript, and revise and check the possible problems in it.
During the recording process, she will also pay attention to her tone and expression at all times to ensure the quality and effect of the program.
After the recording, she will watch her show repeatedly and learn from the lessons learned to continuously improve her level.
Li Xiuping's dedication to work has also infected colleagues and juniors around him.
Sabine once revealed in the program that working in CCTV, as long as he said a wrong word, he would be fined 200 yuan.
And he, as the king of slip of the tongue, has long known how many times he has been punished.
However, in such a strict CCTV, there is a female host, who has been in the industry for nearly 30 years since she came to CCTV, but she has never made a single mistake.
He said that this female host is the role model he admires and learns from the most - Li Xiuping.
- Four college entrance examinations final admission - Li Xiuping can become a gold medal host of CCTV, it is not all smooth sailing.
On the contrary, in her youth, she encountered many setbacks and difficulties, and even almost gave up her ideals.
Li Xiuping was born in Lanzhou, Gansu, and her family can be said to be scholarly.
Li Xiuping's father was an engineer and his mother was a people's teacher.
Therefore, in her parents' ears and eyes since childhood, she also has a strong interest in learning, and she reads and studies carefully every day.
At that time, Li Xiuping looked at her mother's figure standing on the podium every day, and her heart developed infinite admiration, and she made up her mind to become an excellent teacher like her mother in the future.
It's just that the reality is not as simple as she thinks.
Although Li Xiuping has her own ideals, and she usually studies very hard, she does not seem to be the material for learning.
Her grades have not been very good, and even if her parents and older siblings at home often help her make up classes, her grades have not improved.
In this way, Li Xiuping ushered in the college entrance examination.
That year, her brothers and sisters all successfully entered their favorite school with excellent grades, and only Li Xiuping fell on the list.
Her heart was full of sadness, but fortunately, her parents and family did not accuse her, but comforted Li Xiuping one after another.
Her parents told her at that time that in fact, the way out is not only reading, she actually has many different future choices.
But Li Xiuping is unwilling, she has her own pursuit and ideals in her heart, and she also wants to become the pride of her family.
So she rejected her parents' offer to let her go to work and told her family that she was ready to re-prepare for the exam and fight for the college entrance examination again.
However, Li Xiuping in the second year did not succeed in counterattacking, and she fell on the college entrance examination again.
At that time, she filled out three lesser-known normal schools on her volunteers, and finally fell by two points.
At this time, Li Xiuping has begun to doubt herself, the pressure of the college entrance examination itself is very great, plus she is still repeating, the huge pressure in her heart almost overwhelmed her, and this defeat seriously affected her emotions.
Fortunately, her parents have also understood, and her daughter's enlightened parents have also been encouraging Li Xiuping, doing a lot of psychological construction for her, and helping her regain her confidence.
After this defeat, Li Xiuping can be said to be very familiar with the college entrance examination, so she told her parents without thinking about it, and decided to do it again.
However, in the third college entrance examination, Li Xiuping still failed to successfully enroll.
At that time, what supported Li Xiuping may only be a breath, she was unwilling to work hard for so many years, if she was not admitted to a university in the end, then what was the point of her repeated studies for many years? So, she started her fourth college entrance examination.
Fortunately, this time, fate favored her, and although Li Xiuping did not get his wish, he also became a glorious college student.
That year, when she was repeating, a teacher from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute came to her high school to recruit students.
Although Li Xiuping's grades are average, her Mandarin is very standard, and her personality is also very cheerful, so she is also very liked by teachers and classmates in school.
The teachers naturally knew that Li Xiuping had been difficult to repeat his senior year for many years, and they thought that this enrollment was a good opportunity, so they recommended Li Xiuping to the other party.
And after Li Xiuping was told the news by the teacher, he was actually not as cheerful as everyone imagined, but calmly said that he could try.
Her stability allowed her to perform very well in the interview, and she was very successful and was favored by the teachers in Beijing.
The teacher gave her the opportunity to go to the Beijing Broadcasting Institute for a retest, only to wait for her college entrance examination to end.
This time, Li Xiuping's luck was also very good, her results just reached the admission score of Beijing Broadcasting Institute, so after the re-examination, she successfully became a college student of the Broadcasting Institute, opening a new path she never thought of.
——Became famous on CCTV - because her Mandarin is very standard, she chose to major in broadcasting in school.
She understands that her path is an accident, so she needs to work harder to succeed, so she has been studying seriously during school and has been favored by many teachers.
After graduation, despite repeated persuasion from teachers, Li Xiuping decided to go home to work, so she left Beijing and became a small host on Lanzhou TV in her hometown.
At that time, she did not expect that her future would be closely related to the city of Beijing.
Her performance on Lanzhou TV is very good, and the programs she hosts have also been liked by many viewers.
At the same time, she also received an olive branch from CCTV.
Who can refuse to become a host of CCTV? After discussing with his family, Li Xiuping decided to go to Beijing again for his own future to participate in the host selection of CCTV.
At the beginning, she was still an intern, so she did not host programs on CCTV, mostly working behind the scenes.
But Li Xiuping cherishes this job very much, so she is very active during her work, and when she is resting, she will also go behind the scenes to learn the hosting experience of others.
Her serious attitude to work was also unanimously praised by the leaders in the station, and it didn't take long for her to have her own task: to host "News Network".
This task is very difficult for Li Xiuping, although this program is a recorded program, not a live broadcast, but the amount of information contained in it is very large, the content of the program includes news from Tiannanhai, North and even overseas, which requires the host to be rigorous.
In order to be able to complete the task, Li Xiuping is very hard, she will make all the preparations before going on stage every day to record, and usually pay more attention to the news.
Her focus and seriousness were quickly well received by the audience, and her career was finally on track.
In fact, at that time, even Li Xiuping did not expect that his work in CCTV was 26 years, and even affected his life.
——Love defeated by distance - finally appeared on CCTV, Li Xiuping's life has just stepped on the right track, but her love life is still a mess.
She was 30 years old at the time, but she had been busy with public for many years, so she was still single by this time.
Her family was also very worried and always urged her to find her partner.
At that time, Li Xiuping's father introduced her to a boy.
That man's name was Fan Ning, and like Li Xiuping's father, he was also an engineer.
Fan Ning fell in love with Li Xiuping at first sight, and Li Xiuping also had a good impression of Fan Ning, so they came together shortly after they met, and in the same year, the two received a marriage certificate.
At that time, the two people were immersed in the sweetness of love, and getting married was just a decision they made excitedly, and no one thought that in a few years, the marriage of the two would come to an end.
Soon after marriage, the conflict between the two people came out.
Fanning is an engineer, so he usually follows the construction site most of the time, so he rarely goes home.
Li Xiuping's work is far away in Beijing, and he rarely returns to his home in Lanzhou.
Gathering less and separating more, so that the newlywed little couple began to become strange before they became familiar.
Their work is very busy, and they usually have less and less contact, and in order to maintain this marriage, both want the other to give up part of their careers.
It's just that none of them want to, so every time they talk about these things, they will eventually break up.
But that's not the real reason why their marriage came to an end.
It turned out that when they got married, the two were actually not young, so after marriage, Fanning wanted to have a child as soon as possible.
But if she became pregnant, it meant that Li Xiuping had to give up her career, so at that time she always said that she wanted to wait a few more years.
At first, Fanning still understood, but after a few years, Fanning found that Li Xiuping still had no plans to get pregnant.
They had a fierce quarrel over this matter, and finally the two chose to divorce.
After the divorce, she no longer had the pursuit of her feelings, so she put all her spirit into her career, and she was more successful, and in 2005, she also won the CCTV annual outstanding host award.
And at this award ceremony, she also met love again.
Li Xiuping's confident and hearty smile on the stage attracted Zhang Chunxian, the secretary of the traffic bureau in the audience, who was full of curiosity about this excellent woman, so after the award was over, he asked for Li Xiuping's contact information and began to understand each other in private.
After the two people chatted, they found that they had many of the same views, and they were usually very able to chat, and over time, Zhang Chunxian became moved by Li Xiuping and began to pursue him.
Although Zhang Chunxian is ten years older than Li Xiuping, there is no generation gap between the two when they usually chat, and Zhang Chunxian is also very considerate, so the two naturally came together after that.
After falling in love for several years, 42-year-old Li Xiuping finally married again and married Zhang Chunxian.
It's just that at that time, Li Xiuping was really older, and if he had children, the risk was too great, so they didn't have children so far.
However, neither of them cared about this matter, and in their opinion, being able to accompany each other was already the happiest thing.
——Conclusion——Today's Li Xiuping has long retired, and she and her husband live a happy and beautiful life together.
Usually, they will travel together, go shopping together, and if they are not willing to go out, they will read books and watch movies at home together to pass the time.
Although they do not have children, neither of them has any financial burden, so they are not worried about the problem of old-age care.
Today, enjoying life is the most important thing.
