In the memory of a generation, Wang Ji's youthful appearance always swept everyone's minds. She was born in Beijing in 1962 into an ordinary family, and neither her parents nor her relatives had ever engaged in art work.
However, Wang Ji's sincere heart for art has been clear since she was a child. When enthusiasts who had seen the neighbor's dance teacher several times vied to imitate the difficult dance moves, 14-year-old Wang Ji quietly felt a sense of longing in her heart.
The beauty of art in the eyes of this girl is like a bird flying and cannot be grasped, and she can only look forward to it for a long time.
A few years later, the year of 17 years old can be described as a turning point in Wang Ji's fate. One afternoon, the People's Liberation Army Art Troupe officially announced that due to the urgency of the actors in the troupe, it is now ready to recruit new people to supplement the configuration.
Wang Ji, who learned the news, suddenly felt that the moth's blood was boiling like a fire, and he resolutely signed up for the election. With years of self-taught dance experience, coupled with her natural intelligence and cheerfulness, Wang Ji's hope for admission quickly sprouted.
Sure enough, on the day of the interview, she successfully passed the assessment and became a member of the group with her near-perfect dancing posture and precise rhythm. Since then, Wang Ji has officially appeared on the stage for the first time and started the journey of acting.
However, Wang Ji, who is just starting out to 18 years old, is still too straightforward and inexperienced, and rarely plays the leading role in every performance, and most of them can only play tricks and background scenes.
Watching some girls in the same period play the protagonist over and over again, Wang Ji is full of yearning and unwillingness, this delicate flower also needs to be watered and cultivated all the time before it can finally bloom beautifully.
Once, the news of the selection of the heroine actor by the movie "Treasure Hunting" from the art troupe unexpectedly knocked on the long-awaited door. In the end, Wang Ji, who was only 17 years old, was honored to be selected and appeared on the big screen for the first time.
And isn't this also in line with the truth of "one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage".
When an actor is difficult to gain a foothold in his homeland, whether to cross the ocean to usher in an alternative opportunity has become a choice faced by Wang Ji in the late 80s.
In 1989, at the age of 27, she chose to fly across the ocean and came to the American continent in a foreign country with her first love.
At first, Wang Ji ran into walls in Los Angeles with a goalless but hopeless mentality. Perhaps, it was this desperate determination that supported her to take the first steps in a foreign land.
In order to make a living, she has worked countless temporary jobs, from supermarket cashier to restaurant waiter, just to make ends meet; Later, he entered the University of California as a student, studying on his own and part-time.
It wasn't until 1993 that an invitation call from a Chinese director changed the trajectory of her otherwise dull acting career. The TV series "Beijinger in New York" became popular, and the role of Ah Chun in it set off a lot of craze among the audience, and Wang Ji became famous in one fell swoop.
The following year, after more than 10 years of acting experience, at the age of 31, she finally won the actress crown at the Golden Eagle Awards. It is true that she stumbled in the story of struggle in a foreign land, but finally ushered in the first peak of her career at the age of 31.
The popular fried chicken-like career suffered a huge blow in 1993, and this year Wang Ji's family ushered in a new life but also carried a heavy burden.
After the birth of her son, who was diagnosed with severe autism, she was a successful actress who also took on the task of caring for children with special needs. At first, Wang Ji entered a brief period of confusion and despair, and the arrival of this little life seemed to be a thorn full of unknowns.
But soon, when she gradually realized the difficulties and pains that this child would face in the future, her sense of responsibility and responsibility as a mother prevailed. She was determined to join hands with the child through the most difficult journey of his life.
In order to treat the child and provide a better living environment, Wang Ji returned to her best acting career and struggled. When she was running around the crew with her child in her arms, the heavy feeling of exhaustion had never been real.
Every time after returning from illness late at night, she would gently stroke the forehead of her sleeping child and whisper. Wang Ji knew that before the day came when the child grew up and could be independent, she had to straighten her waist and work hard to earn more money to provide security for his medicine and life.
This responsibility is the softest corner of every mother's heart.
Fortunately, while God closed a door, it also left a glimmer of hope for Wang Ji. Daughter Gao Liwen has been quite sensible since she was a child, and at a young age, she understands her mother's difficulties and fatigue, and often takes care of her own life.
Now, she has also followed her mother's footsteps into the entertainment industry. A family of three, you have me, I have you, this family support each other, so that they can rely on each other in the long night of confusion given by fate.
Experience can always polish a person into a more mature and stable, and the popular actor Wang Ji is no exception. Now she has long forgotten about herself and completely entered the drama life, and integrated her years of life experience into the performance.
Whether it is the joys and sorrows of family changes, or the ups and downs of her career, they have become precious materials for her to shape her characters. She often said that if an actor wants to make the audience really enter the plot, his own experience is the only way.
At the same time, Wang Ji's words and deeds influence the people around her. She actively participates in public welfare undertakings, actively calls on all sectors of society to pay attention to the plight of autistic children, and has repeatedly made it clear that she will use her influence to help them.
At the same time, she also set an example with her own mother image, and cooperated with her daughter Gao Liwen to shoot the warm movie "Migratory Birds" to tell a family story that spans time.
Such a Wang Ji is no longer just the actor who struggled to become famous, but a spiritual mentor and moral model recognized by all walks of life.
As one critic pointed out, the name Wang Ji carries not only excellent acting skills, but also a spiritual symbol for contemporary women. From a young girl to an actress to a life coach, she inspires and touches the hearts of this generation with her own growth process.
