The talented and intelligent Xu Lu dreams of a performance
On a cold winter day in 1975, a family in Shenyang gave birth to a lovely baby girl, she was Xu Lu. Xu Lu was born into a well-to-do intellectual family, her father was a university professor, and her mother was a middle school Chinese teacher.
Xiao Xu Lu has never lacked food and clothing, and her parents take care of her as a pearl in their palms. "Our baby is the best!" Parents often praise Xu Lu like this.
The smart and lively Xu Lu won the love of all the teachers. She is always the student who raises her hand the most in the classroom and is always the first to answer the teacher's questions. The classmates all said: "Xu Lu is simply our little genius, she can do anything in the exam!" Parents are incredibly proud of this.
When she was 11 years old, Xu Lu suddenly became obsessed with ballet. Every time a ballerina dances on TV, it is as if she is enchanted in front of her eyes, and she sits in front of the TV without moving.
"Mom, I want to dance too! Xu Lu looked at her mother with a longing gaze that she had never felt before, begging her to get her wish.
The road to film and television has its ups and downs
In 1996, Xu Lu, who had just graduated from college, began her acting career. She first participated in a niche movie, and although it was just a trick, she was already excited.
"This is my first step towards Xu Lu's dream!" Every time she thought of this, Xu Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But the road to acting is more rugged than she imagined. Xu Lu found that she didn't have any connections and resources at all. Scripts and auditions are hard to come by, and I live in a small house shared with a few friends.
In order to survive, she had to travel around looking for temporary gigs or model endorsements. The so-called "showbiz messing around" is so bitter and helpless.
Fortunately, there is no endless road. In 2001, after running nearly 20 auditions, Xu Lu was finally photographed by the director and played a small role, and became famous in one fell swoop.
This TV series called "Deep Love and Rain" was an unprecedented hit as soon as it was broadcast, and all the actors were popular without exception. Since then, Xu Lu has stepped into the peak of her acting career.
In the next few years, she starred in a number of popular TV series, and was named "popular fried chicken" by netizens and film critics.
However, just when her career was in full swing, Xu Lu suddenly announced her marriage in 2002 and suspended her acting career, choosing to be a full-time housewife. Everyone was baffled by her decision, but after thinking about it, this seems to be Xu Lu's consistent style - decisive and direct, never dragging her feet.
In order to love and become a family, Xu Lu resolutely gave up the peak of her career
In 2003, Xu Lu gave birth to a pink and cute little baby girl, named "Little Yueyue". At this time, Xu Lu was extremely excited, and tears flowed down her face.
"I'm finally a mom too!" She wept with joy.
Husband Jiang Kaiyang was even more overjoyed, holding the two women in the palm of his hand and loving them. "I will take good care of your mother and daughter, the most important thing in this life is you!" He promised Xu Lu.
In order to take care of her daughter, Xu Lu resolutely decided to suspend her peak acting career and become a full-time housewife. She put all her time and energy into taking care of Yueyue and enjoying the sweet time of motherly love.
During the day, Xu Lu would personally wash and breastfeed Yueyue, take her to bask in the sun in the community, and sing to her. Whenever Yueyue giggled, Xu Lu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
At night, Xu Lu also stayed by her daughter's side until she fell asleep and left lightly.
As a wife and mother, she has completely occupied Xu Lu's entire life. She no longer had time to think about the once scorching Vanity Fair, and her whole state of mind became calmer than ever.
"The most correct decision in my life was to give birth to Xiao Yueyue. Xu Lu often sighs like this.
When her daughter grew up, Xu Lu gradually returned to the film and television industry
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Yueyue has gone to kindergarten. Xu Lu began to gradually return to the entertainment industry and devoted herself to the filming career with her husband Jiang Kaiyang. In 2011, at the suggestion of her husband, she starred in the TV series "How Much Love Can Come Again" directed by Jiang Kaiyang.
Although the schedule and investment are not high, the word-of-mouth and ratings of this drama are still unexpectedly successful, allowing Xu Lu to return to the public eye.
"Actually, I've always missed the filming years of my enthusiastic youth. Xu Lu said to reporters with a smile, "This time I am very much looking forward to working with my husband again, and it is like going back to the past."
In 2014, the 39-year-old Xu Lu starred in another realistic film "No Compromise" directed by Jiang Kaiyang. This is a work that tells the story of the struggle of nurses in grassroots hospitals, and tells the story of the heroine who never gives up in the face of many obstacles.
"I especially appreciate the indomitable spirit of the heroine, which also inspires me to constantly surpass myself and face life's challenges. Xu Lu said.
Xu Lu, who is now 48 years old, is no longer as popular as she was back then, but she is still active in the entertainment industry. From time to time, she will meet the fans in her memory on the street, and she always chats happily for a while after meeting each other.
These people are all valuable assets on her acting life.
On the road of life, Xu Lu has never flinched and slackened
Looking back at Xu Lu's life, we will find that this woman has amazing courage and perseverance in her heart.
When she was in elementary school, she was recognized as a "little genius" in the whole school, and she could easily solve difficult questions. Her classmates all aim for her to study Xi diligently, and her teachers always praise her publicly.
But our little Xu Lu has never been arrogant because of smooth sailing, but has been more humble and hardworking.
Since middle school, Xu Lu has been obsessed with ballet. She pressed her feet and straightened her waist, repeating the teacher's movements over and over again. Ballet may seem elegant, but it is actually extremely demanding.
When everyone was exhausted, our little Xu Lu was still holding on to the last move. "No, I have to do it all!" Sweat soaked through her dance costume, but she didn't complain.
In the year she graduated from high school, Xu Lu resolutely gave up her original dance path and chose a more challenging acting major. After several persuasions from her parents, she still resolutely applied for the exam and finally got her wish.
We can imagine why a daughter from a wealthy family would choose a steep path in her artistic career, because this is Xu Lu's courageous personality, she is always pursuing her dreams.
In acting classes during college, Xu Lu made slow progress at first, and her grades were always at the bottom of the class. Her classmates more or less looked down on her. But our little Xu Lu never gave up, soaked in the acting classroom every day to study, and finally regained her brilliance in front of teachers and classmates.
Nothing can stop this hard-working girl from moving forward towards Xu Lu's dream.
When she earned her first pot of gold and stood at the peak of her career, Xu Lu resolutely chose to let go of everything she had longed for for her family. She raised her baby willingly and lived in harmony with her in-laws.
What we see is a happy woman who is not me.
There are no ifs in life, but dare to ask who hasn't had such a moment and wants to start all over again? We firmly believe that even if Xu Lu is given a new choice, she will still go her own way and move forward bravely.
