On an ordinary summer day in 1998, in a small village on the outskirts of Yancheng County, Jiangsu, Yang Chaoyue was born. Her parents were ordinary workers, working hard in the local steel mill, and the family was not wealthy.
Yang's father hopes that his daughter can be lively and cheerful, honest and kind, so he named her "Beyond", hoping that she can transcend the suffering of reality and have a better future.
The young Yang Chaoyue's personality is indeed very lively, full of vitality and curiosity. She likes to jump up and down, frolic and play, and is inseparable from her friends in the village. However, learning Xi has always been Yang Chaoyue's weakness.
She always found the textbooks boring and would rather run outside to find small animals and climb trees. Yang's mother and teacher told her countless times to study hard, and Yang Chaoyue also agreed, but it didn't take long for her to return to her previous state.
At the age of 12, Yang surpassed her parents and divorced, and she became the daughter of a single-parent family. Faced with the sudden change of family, Yang Chaoyue's heart was mixed. She was angry that her parents separated regardless of her feelings, and she was also afraid of how hard life would become.
As the days passed, Yang Chaoyue gradually did not want to go to school anymore. She felt that she had lost her complete home and her life had lost its direction. So she began to skip classes and indulge herself, hoping to vent her inner turmoil by rebelling.
After his parents divorced, Yang Chaoyue's already messy school Xi state deteriorated day by day. Not only did she no longer finish her homework, but she also chose to sleep or wander in class.
Faced with his daughter's state, Father Yang was helpless and distressed, and he didn't know how to make his daughter regain her interest in Xi.
Finally, when Yang Chaoyue was 15 years old, she decided to drop out of school and no longer continue her studies. She wanted to step into society as soon as possible, earn money to support herself, and reduce her father's burden.
And she was also tired of facing the disappointed eyes of her teachers and the strange stares of her classmates every day. Yang Chaoyue felt that he had grown up and that it was time to take responsibility for his life.
Walking out of the school gate, Yang Chaoyue was a little confused. The world was so foreign to her. But she knew she had to be strong and not lose to reality.
So she started throwing her resume around, hoping to get a job. And what kind of job can a girl who dropped out of junior high school find? Yang Chaoyue soon found a simple assembly line operator in a garment factory.
In the factory, Yang Chaoyue repeats the boring operation process day after day. She had to work for more than ten hours with the heavy smell of fabric and the rumbling noise of the machine.
This kind of life is very boring, and Yang Chaoyue often thinks of the happy campus life in the past. But when she thinks of her father, she lifts her spirits. She told herself, this is the adult world, and I have to Xi it.
A year later, Yang Chaoyue decided to change the working environment. She quit her job at the factory and took a position as a waitress in a restaurant. The work of the restaurant is more tedious, requiring standing for long periods of time and enduring vexatious fuss from customers.
Here, Yang Chaoyue saw more of the dark side of society. Once, a drunk man even harassed her body, and Yang Chaoyue broke down and cried, never wanting to do the job again.
When he was 18 years old, Yang Chaoyue happened to see an advertisement for the selection of a girl group. The organizer promises to provide training opportunities and debut possibilities. Yang Chaoyue suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she thought that maybe this was the opportunity that fate gave her.
So she plucked up the courage to sign up for the audition.
On the day of the interview, Yang Chaoyue came to the selection site alone with a simple bag. She saw groups of girls, all polite, outstanding, confident and calm.
And Yang Chaoyue didn't dare to have too much eye contact with them, always feeling that he was too simple and rustic.
"No. 127, Yang Chaoyue. When he heard his name being called, Yang Chaoyue took a deep breath and nervously walked into the interview room. She stared into the interviewer's eyes, trying to calm herself.
"Why did you sign up for the interview?" The interviewer asked straight to the point. Yang Chaoyue truthfully answered his family background and expressed his desire to change his fate.
The interviewer nodded thoughtfully, seeing a trait in Yang Chaoyue.
That night, Yang Chaoyue tossed and turned on her shabby cot, and it was difficult for her to predict what the outcome would be. The next day, she was pleasantly surprised to receive a notice that she had been selected to join the Xi team! Yang Chaoyue's hands trembled with excitement, and she had a premonition that the most important turning point in her life was coming.
In the following days, Yang Chaoyue and 7 other girls got together and began intensive training. They have to learn Xi singing, dancing and other talents, and receive rigorous physical training.
Yang Chaoyue found that she really didn't have any extraordinary talent, she could only work harder than others, and refused to give up any opportunity. Gradually, she became acquainted with several girls, and they became her only friends in the city.
Yang Chaoyue had the experience of group life for the first time, and she felt that she had found her way.
After several years of training, Yang Chaoyue's group officially debuted and released some songs and MVs. However, they did not receive much attention because of this, and the group's popularity in the entertainment industry is still very small.
This made Yang Chaoyue fall into a kind of confusion, and she often wondered if her dream was misplaced.
Until one day, her agent informed her that she had the opportunity to participate in the hottest girl group talent show "Creation 101". This is undoubtedly the best opportunity to change his fate, and Yang Chaoyue embarked on the journey of brutal competition without saying a word.
When he came to the shooting site, Yang Chaoyue was surrounded by dozens of cameras and hundreds of staff. She felt more pressured than ever before, but she was also exhilarating. This time, she wants to prove herself to the world and to fate.
In the first competition, Yang Chaoyue nervously forgot the words and was criticized by his mentor for not having talent. She even came up with the idea of withdrawing. But she eventually persevered because she couldn't run away again.
As the show aired one episode after another, Yang Chaoyue was not eliminated because of his lack of talent. Instead, viewers and fans are gradually drawn to her unique personality.
A simple rural girl, she has experienced all the ups and downs of the part-time work process, and such a tenacious and optimistic spirit has won everyone's recognition. Gradually, Yang Chaoyue earned the nickname "Koi Girl", and she jumped up the current like a koi fish, jumping over many obstacles.
This result made it unbelievable for all the viewers and Yang to surpass himself. She was originally ordinary, experienced poverty and blows, once gave up her dreams, but now she has reached the pinnacle of life with the most dazzling attitude.
It's like a legend that brings courage and motivation to everyone. Yang Chaoyue became one of the most dazzling "Internet celebrities" of that era. Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, and she believes that as long as she doesn't give up, there is no tomorrow that she can't achieve.
After his debut, Yang Chaoyue became a shining star. However, she was well aware that this was just a new beginning. If you want to really gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, you must continue to work hard, otherwise you will be eliminated soon.
First of all, Yang Chaoyue began to go all out to learn a variety of acting skills such as singing and dancing Xi. She found a strict teacher and insisted on Xi practicing until late at night, no matter how late it was.
At the beginning, Yang Chaoyue's voice was hoarse, and his dance steps were not coordinated and stable enough. But she never gives up easily, and even when she is exhausted, she grits her teeth and insists on completing the last action.
In terms of necessary skills, Yang Chaoyue also began to take the initiative to ask for more work. She will sign up to appear in various variety shows as soon as possible and appear in more public places.
Once, Yang Chaoyue even volunteered to teach in the countryside and sing and dance with the children. Despite the difficult environment, Yang Chaoyue was very happy.
Because it brings me one step closer to the hearts of the public.
Of course, life after fame is far from pretty. Yang Chaoyue began to face tremendous work pressure, running between programs and announcements in one day. I often stay up until three or four o'clock in the morning before going to bed, but I have to wake up early the next day.
There is also the pervasive follow-up of the media, and Yang Yue has become Xi wearing a hat and mask in public. Once she stepped on her high heels, and her heels had blood blisters, and the assistant wanted her to treat the wound first, but Yang Chaoyue just bandaged it and rushed to the next announcement site.
A fan asked Yang Chaoyue: "You are a big star now, do you feel particularly happy, or are you also tired and depressed sometimes?" Yang Chaoyue replied seriously: "I am not having an easy time now, the work is very hard and dangerous, and the future is also very uncertain.
But I don't regret my choice. Because I remember the days when I was very poor and hard when I was a child, and now I have the ability to change my destiny on my own, which is the greatest happiness.
Indeed, for Yang Chaoyue, today's exhaustion is worth it. Because she knows too well how broad her vision will be when she stands at the pinnacle of life. She always reminds herself that no matter how difficult the environment is, she must never forget her roots.
As long as you don't give up, there will always be countless bright opportunities waiting in front of you.
An important reason why Yang Chaoyue became popular is that her sunny and cheerful personality is deeply loved by the public.
She doesn't show her face, and she never deliberately dresses up and dresses herself. In front of the camera, Yang Chaoyue always appears in the most natural state, and there is no public relations effect created by Xing Ye in the words, but his character is truly revealed.
Her sincerity has not been concealed at all, and it is this kind of truthfulness that has touched countless fans.
In variety shows, Yang Chaoyue never deliberately talks, she just sits happily on the sidelines and laughs when she listens to other people's jokes. If someone accosted her, she would respond shyly but patiently.
Yang Chaoyue is not ostentatious or noisy, but quietly warms the entire space like a warm sun.
Another time, Yang Chaoyue recorded a variety show with several sisters, and the host teased her for having no love experience, "How can you be single at such an age". Yang Chaoyue smiled embarrassedly, but was not unhappy.
After that, the sisters also asked her what kind of boy she liked, and Yang Chaoyue said that she hadn't been in love much, and she didn't know. When the host said, "There must be a lot of boys who like you", Yang Chaoyue shook his head honestly, feeling that he would not have the conditions in general.
That frankness was so cute that everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Chaoyue has never been pretentious to herself, she just does her truest self. She may not have intended to create such a personal image at first, but it is the source of her unique personal charm.
Yang Chaoyue never thought of calculating and rehearsing every word she said, she only knew how to treat the world and everyone with sincerity. And the world reciprocated her kindness with warmth.
Countless experiences have taught Yang Chaoyue that this world is so imperfect but full of beauty. And she also knows that her life will not be smooth sailing, but as long as she is pure enough, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Yang Chaoyue's success just proves that ordinary people can also change their fate through their own efforts and move the world.
From an obscure rural girl, to a "koi girl" in people's mouths, to a popular idol who is now a household name, 23-year-old Yang Chaoyue uses her unique life experience to interpret what it means to be youthful and fearless and persevere.
At the beginning, many people looked down on Yang Chaoyue and thought that a girl with a low level of education could not make a difference in the entertainment industry. But Yang Chaoyue proves that as long as people are good enough, external conditions cannot stop her from chasing her dreams.
Now those who used to laugh at her all bowed their heads in shame.
And Yang Chaoyue's story has also set off a new wind among young people. More and more ordinary people who originally had no confidence began to dare to pursue their inner dreams.
Yang Chaoyue became a model for them to move forward bravely.
Yang Chaoyue himself is also very proud of this: "I am glad that I am not only an actor or singer, but also a symbol that can represent those ordinary people who are unknown.
Like them, I faced hardships, but I didn't give up on myself. I hope my story will give more people the strength to know that the possibilities of life are limitless.
Indeed, Yang Chaoyue has brought more than just economic benefits or entertainment to the world. It's about letting everyone see that their destiny is in their own hands. She has changed the boundaries of the "impossible" and has influenced countless aspiring young people, inspiring them to dare and show the infinite possibilities of life.
Perhaps many years later, when people look back on this era, they will find that Yang Chaoyue is not just a star who is popular with half the sky. She is also a symbol, a symbol that every ordinary person in the new era can move up and change the world.
That's what she's all about.
