Zeng Zhiqiao dared to chase his dreams and entered the showbiz at the age of 14
In 2002, a 14-year-old campus girl, with infinite enthusiasm for acting, came to distant Taipei alone, chasing her dream without hesitation.
This girl from Hsinchu, Taiwan, whose name is Zeng Zhiqiao, hid from her parents, submitted her resume to major brokerage companies, and signed up for the talent competition, hoping to show her singing voice and realize her dream of stardom.
On the day of the interview, Zeng Zhiqiao was nervous and excited. In the self-introduction session, her slightly trembling but firm and powerful voice expressed her determination to sing and become an artist.
Under the intersection of her sincere eyes and a natural artist, agent Li Yaming had a hunch that this little girl contained great potential, and she was the newcomer he had been looking for.
Sure enough, Zeng Zhiqiao quickly stood out among many contestants, and was successfully selected and signed as Li Yaming's first student.
Although her family strongly opposed her joining the showbiz without authorization, Zeng Zhiqiao did not back down. She understands her determination to love singing and acting, and although the road is difficult, she will do her best.
In order to realize her dream, the 14-year-old girl resolutely left home and began her first steps in the strange Taipei.
After entering the industry, Zeng Zhiqiao worked hard and was strict with himself. The company arranged for her to form a duo with Liu Pinyan of the same age, and although the response was mediocre at the beginning of her debut, she was not discouraged.
Zeng Zhiqiao actively took over the filming of idol dramas and learned Xi acting skills with an attitude of hard work beyond his peers. From a newcomer to a well-known Hua Dan, the staff in the audience have seen her unlimited potential.
Many years later, when Zeng Zhiqiao looked back on his 14-year-old self, he was still proud of the girl who bravely pursued her dreams. It is that incomparable enthusiasm and courage for acting that has become a solid cornerstone of her future success in the entertainment industry.
Zeng Zhiqiao used his youth to interpret what it means to dare to act, and also inspired countless girls who are unwilling to be satisfied with the status quo.
At the age of 19, he bought a house to reflect on his life, and suffered from depression to seek a breakthrough
At the age of 19, Zeng Zhiqiao relied on the income he had accumulated in the entertainment industry to realize a girl's little wish - to buy the first property in her life.
For other artists, it may be an investment in appreciating assets, but for Zeng Zhiqiao, having his own small family means a lot. At that moment, she felt a sense of security and accomplishment that she had never felt before.
However, this joy was soon replaced by stress and exhaustion. Frequent work made Zeng Zhiqiao physically and mentally exhausted, lacking sleep and relaxation. She always reminds herself to work harder, to be better than others, and to strive for more performance opportunities.
This exorbitant work requirements eventually led to Zeng's collapse.
"I suffered from mild depression. Recalling that time, Zeng Zhiqiao said. Every night, the voice of self-criticism echoed in her head, and insomnia made her body and mind even more exhausted.
In order to catch the announcement, she didn't even have time to eat properly. Zeng Zhiqiao realized that success also requires a reasonable pace, and she must stop and let herself recuperate.
This experience made Zeng Zhiqiao reflect on his pursuit of superficial achievements and neglect of a balanced life. She slowed down her work pace, actively sought help from a psychiatrist, and learned Xi accept her shortcomings.
In the process of treatment, Zeng Zhiqiao understood that the true meaning of life is not just about career achievements. A healthy physical and mental state and harmonious interpersonal relationships are essential elements for success.
After this period of low point, Zeng Zhiqiao found a new direction in life. She learned to love herself, enjoy life, and regain her positive energy. In the end, Zeng Zhiqiao used wisdom and courage to get out of the haze and harvest sweet love.
This transformation not only healed her wounds, but also allowed her to grow into a woman who knows how to care for herself.
Liu Pinyan's first love misunderstanding and transformation
If Zeng Zhiqiao gives the impression of being mature and stable, then Liu Pinyan, another member of the group, is loved by the public for his liveliness and cuteness.
Her innocent smiling face is deeply rooted in people's hearts. At the age of 17, Liu Pinyan, who participated in the TV series, met the first sincere love in his life. The male lead of the crew fell in love with her at first sight, and took the initiative to pursue this innocent little girl.
failed to resist the passionate confession of the male lead, and the two soon fell in love. For Liu Pinyan, who is still growing, this is an irresistible magic of love. The male lead actor is gentle and considerate, Liu Pinyan is devoted to this relationship, and she believes that she has found him to spend her life with.
However, the good times were short-lived. The sudden attack of the breakup caught Liu Pinyan, who was still immersed in love, off guard. What made her even more unacceptable was that the male lead actor boasted about the relationship between the two in public afterwards, which made Liu Pinyan, who was not an adult at the time, gossip for a while.
The failure and pain of this relationship almost broke Liu Pinyan. She quit the entertainment industry and no longer appeared in the public eye. The media speculated that she might find it difficult to face the guidance of public opinion and choose to hide.
The first true love in his life ended with deep hurt, and Liu Pinyan lost himself for a while. However, time is the best medicine for wounds. After going through heavy pain, Liu Pinyan regained himself with perseverance.
She returned to everyone's eyes again, not only regained her former smile, but also made a qualitative leap in her acting skills.
From an innocent girl to a powerful actor with superb acting skills, Liu Pinyan has proved her strength with her transformation beyond herself. She used her resilience to open a new chapter in her life and regain her confidence and light.
The two insist on themselves and support each other

Although the two have different life trajectories, they have always encouraged and supported each other and become each other's closest confidants.
When Liu Pinyan quit the entertainment industry, Zeng Zhiqiao cried with red eyes and said that he would feel extremely lonely. Because, she is about to lose her closest friends and partners. Zeng Zhiqiao did not persuade Liu Pinyan to change his mind, but told her: I will respect and support your choice.
At the same time, please don't forget my old friend in the distance. Many years later, when the news of Zeng Zhiqiao's marriage came out, Liu Pinyan, who had already gained fame and fortune, was also sincerely happy for his friend. She smiled and said, "I'm so happy that our Jojo has finally found true love." Liu Pinyan's blessing came from the heart, and she was proud of Zeng Zhiqiao.
