The girl aspires to become a news presenter
Lao Chunyan's dream since she was a child was to become a good news presenter, which stemmed from the influence of her father. Her father was a dedicated journalist for a local television station and often needed to go out to get first-hand information.
Every time his father came home, little Lao Chunyan would run to his father's side and listen to him talk about various news scenes with bright eyes.
She often envied her father's work and thought that it was a blessing to be able to be exposed to more unknown things as a journalist.
This ambition took root in her heart, and Lao Chunyan was determined to become a journalist as good as her father. Since elementary school, she has worked hard and ranked among the top in her Xi.
In order to train her eloquence, she actively participated in various speech and hosting competitions inside and outside the school, and gradually achieved excellent results. After graduating from high school, Lao Chunyan gave up the guaranteed place and chose to take the college entrance examination to get her favorite journalism major.
In the end, she got her wish and entered the journalism department of Fudan University in Shanghai with excellent scores Xi
During her college years, Lao Chunyan continued to work hard and participated in a large number of extracurricular practical activities. In order to train her hosting skills, she began to teach herself host skills such as expression management and voice control.
After layers of screening, she was fortunate to become a host of the school TV station, which was the first time she officially stood in this position. Dressed in a light blue blazer and with long curly light brown hair tied back at the back of her head, she looked smug and energetic.
This was the starting point for her to gradually get closer to her dream and become a great news presenter.
Chasing dreams to the north faces the test of separation
In 2006, 34-year-old Lao Chunyan saw the recruitment information of CCTV recruitment host, CCTV was too attractive, and she came up with the idea of going to Beijing for development.
Her husband Qiu Zhengyi fully supported her to pursue her dreams, and after careful consideration, Lao Chunyan decided to try it north. She overcame her parents' opposition and plucked up the courage to come to the unfamiliar Beijing.
When she first arrived in Beijing, Lao Chunyan had to adapt to the fast-paced and intense work. During the day, she was busy and worked hard, learning Xi various new work processes, and often worked overtime; In the evening, when she returns to the humble and cramped rental house, she will turn on her laptop to video chat, report on the day's situation, and listen to the voices of her family.
And the husband and wife can only get together less and leave more, Qiu Zhengyi will often go back and forth between Beijing and Shanghai, even if it is only for a day or two, he must come to meet each other. The ticket information has been memorized for a long time.
The long separation of 17 years is a test for this loving couple. At first, there was little time to see each other, and the conditions were difficult; Later, Lao Chunyan gained a firm foothold in CCTV, and Qiu Zhengyi would stay in Beijing for about a month to accompany her.
They did not choose to give up in the ordeal, because with each other's support and the motivation of their careers, this relationship was able to withstand the long wait of 17 years.
I insisted on working in July
Lao Chunyan, who was already over the age of confusion, found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant one morning. Looking at the two obvious bars on the pregnancy test stick, she was surprised and delighted, and immediately dialed her husband's phone.
After hearing the good news, I was also excited, and the next day I bought a plane ticket to rush back to Beijing.
The various reactions in the early stages of pregnancy made Lao Chunyan suffer enough. For the sake of the child, she endured repeated vomiting and dizziness and insisted on working normally. When recording the show, she gently strokes her bulging belly, and always has a happy smile on her face.
Her husband, Qiu Zhengyi, was worried that she was overworked, but she didn't think so. She said, "I finally had a baby, of course I have to work hard for the future life of the child."
Gradually, Lao Chunyan's belly became more and more obvious. At 5 months, she was wearing a well-fitting skirt and caressing her abdomen with one hand, looking beautiful. When the reaction during pregnancy eased slightly, her work intensity did not decrease at all, and she still hosted the show normally.
For the sake of the baby, she chose to endure physical discomfort, just to give the child the best life.
Find a balance between family and career
After experiencing severe pain, Lao Chunyan finally gave birth successfully, and she and her husband happily welcomed their first child. When the baby's white and cute little hands grabbed her fingers, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She asked the TV station to give her two months of maternity leave, leaving the familiar host station and devoting herself to taking care of the child. She changed her children's diapers, prepared milk powder, and learned how to be a good mother Xi.
Two months later, she returned to work, and in order to take better care of her children, Lao Chunyan moved her family closer to the TV station. During the lunch break, she will ask the babysitter to bring the baby and breastfeed herself.
Even if she travels for 1 month, Lao Chunyan will miss her family and often chat with them via video.
The child grew up slowly, and Lao Chunyan also found a balance between career and family. Now that her child is in kindergarten, she is still a busy but happy professional woman.
In her spare time, she spends time with her family, glad that she did not give up the most precious feelings in her life because of the pursuit of her career. She often thinks of her husband's warm company and laments that she is so lucky to have such a bosom partner.
We should not take the choices of others lightly
On the surface, Lao Chunyan is proud of her career and family, and her life is rich and rich, but these are just speculations of outsiders. We can't understand her true feelings, and we shouldn't take her life choices lightly.
In the past 17 years, she has experienced too many ups and downs that are unimaginable to outsiders, so she has the optimistic and tenacious character she has now.
Everyone has a different definition of success and happiness. Lao Chunyan chose to endure both physical and mental tribulations, but this is exactly her persistence in her dream. Her career, every program she participated in, and every episode of the program she hosted were all exchanged for her sweat and tears.
They bear witness to her indomitable struggle, so she sees them as part of her life.
We should not use our own standards to criticize Lao Chunyan, but respect her choice. Because every life is unique, we have the right to pursue the definition of happiness in our hearts.
