Preamble:
Once upon a time, they stood side by side under the five-star red flag, wearing red dresses and angel voices to meet the world's attention.
Now, 16 years later, how similar and different they are.
What is it that creates the opposite trajectory of fate?
In 2008, Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi, who were only 9 years old, became the two stars of the Chinese dream at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.
was supposed to sing by Yang Peiyi, but in the end, Lin Miaoke "showed his face" and Yang Peiyi "spoke" to complete an audio-visual feast.
The truth was revealed after the opening ceremony, which once made the public indignant that the two angels had been deceived.
When the stormy waters have subsided, they have embarked on a very different path.
What kind of life have they experienced in the past few years, and can the concept of education determine a person's fate?
The growth of natural sounds – the love of protection makes music free
Yang Peiyi was born in a family of intellectuals and has shown her singing voice since she was a child.
She was not forced on a journey by her family, learning Xi music was just the icing on the cake.
It wasn't until 2008 that her mother Kelsang La won the first prize for her solo in a district-level competition, igniting even bigger dreams.
However, the voice of nature did not become famous quickly, but it was his family who took action and controlled the temptation of fame and fortune.
Yang Peiyi's parents were both university professors, living and raising three children, and they were not wealthy.
On the eve of the Olympic Games, Yang Peiyi accidentally entered the eyes of director Zhang Yimou and was regarded as the only person to sing solo at the opening ceremony.
For Yang Peiyi, who is in primary and secondary school, this is undoubtedly a life opportunity.
For a while, invitations poured in, well-known entertainment companies favored them with high salaries, and the family was faintly happy to share their daughter's worries.
However, soon, after repeated weighing, Yang Peiyi's parents decisively stopped their daughter from entering the entertainment industry.
In the eyes of parents, protecting their children is the top priority.
Fame, fortune and wealth imply too many unknown risks for newborn calf-like children.
Yang Peiyi also understands the difficult choices of parents.
Although overnight success is new and exciting for her, the envy and jealousy of her classmates and friends and the complicated experiences of the adult world also make her feel uneasy.
Of course, it is a pity to give up the opportunity, but she really loves music, and she is more eager to return to ordinary life and keep her distance from her dream of being a superstar.
Looking back now, Yang Peiyi is still sincerely grateful to her parents for their protection.
Countless little flowers in the entertainment industry lost themselves after becoming famous overnight, but she was able to grow slowly in music.
She once joined the top junior women's choir in China, shared the stage with Jacky Cheung, and sang for the Pleasant Goat.
In addition to music, she also worked hard and was admitted to a key high school in Beijing.
In the year of the college entrance examination, Yang Peiyi wrestled and insisted on the extreme pressure of fighting on both the art examination and the college entrance examination.
Finally, with the encouragement of her parents, she won the favor of the top universities in the United States.
Before leaving, the parents hugged their daughter, their eyes full of confidence and expectation.
There is no end to the path of studying abroad, and they believe that the best in music will forge their own glory on the road to growth.
In the end, this leader in music, under the long-term care of his family, forged ahead, gradually bloomed, and became a musician in his own right.
The strict operation of celebrity nannies - control fame and fortune and stifle growth
If Yang Peiyi grew up freely under the care of her parents, Lin Miaoke's road to fame was every step she took under the strict control of her mother.
Lin Miaoke's mother was a university lecturer, but later gave up her job in order to devote herself to nurturing her daughter to become famous.
Lin Miaoke debuted as a model at the age of 6, and at the age of 9, she was already famous and filmed many film and television works.
In 2008, Lin Miaoke's mother was recommended to let her daughter enter the sight of the Olympic Organizing Committee and become a candidate for the opening ceremony.
When Yang Peiyi's natural singing voice and Lin Miaoke's sweet face encountered problems, the mother and daughter decisively expressed their willingness to cooperate with the "double reed" to complete the task.
In the eyes of Lin Miaoke's mother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, Lin Miaoke's father had other plans.
As a photographer, he hopes that Lin Miaoke will work in the news media industry in the future.
This industry is stable and promising.
It's a pity that my mother is bent on drilling in the entertainment industry channel and has always been unwilling to listen to dissuasion.
In the end, Lin Miaoke stepped into the entertainment industry, and because of this, he gradually distanced himself from his father.
On the night of fame and fortune after the opening ceremony, the mother quickly took her daughter to register a social account, Zhang Luo announced, and made every effort to sail the ship of life to the other side of money.
In order to make money, Lin Miaoke did not hesitate to take over the bed scene of an older actor at the age of 14, which once again caused an uproar.
However, for Lin Miaoke, a hard-working, sensitive and introverted girl, she doesn't understand why her mother always asks her to take on many unexpected jobs.
In the face of blockbuster bed scenes and endless slander and abuse, her psychological pressure is increasing day by day.
She began to fear social situations and gradually became silent.
But when she refused or hesitated to her mother, she faced her mother's question of "why are you so ignorant", so she could only accept it.
In the end, this immature flower in the entertainment industry grew up under the control of her mother, and finally broke off in the storm.
Now, the former Olympic stars are no longer cared for, and the happy enemies of mother and daughter are gradually drifting apart.
A producer also broke the news that Lin Miaoke's mother was greedy and cheap in front of her.
The ugly side of the real entertainment industry also made Lin Miaoke disheartened and lost hope in the kindness of human nature.
Now Lin Miaoke is living in seclusion and living a peaceful and peaceful life.
She often imagined that without her mother's strict control, she could have found her own color in music and journalism.
Life may be dull, but it is also full of happiness.
How desirable that life must be.
However, everything is a foregone conclusion, and she can only find the meaning of life in reality......
Epilogue:
It is true that Yang Peiyi and Lin Miaoke are both victims of the lip-syncing incident, and they should not be simply blamed.
However, the story has developed so far that it has to be embarrassing, and the far-reaching impact is no longer what it used to be.
Protection and control, freedom and strangulation, these two different ways of education, finally put the same excellent girls on a completely different life.
We don't know if they are also imagining what it would be like if their fates were reversed.
Yang Peiyi will grow into a new star in the entertainment industry in her mother's love, with a career and wealth, but she has lost her music dream; Lin Miaoke may be able to grow up under the protection of her parents and sing all the way on the road of music.
Their respective strengths could have been brought to the fullest, but in the end, they were constrained by the limitations of their lives.
However, all kinds of thoughts are useless, and the Olympic lip-synching is a foregone conclusion.
There are no ifs, this is their life.
There is no best, only better.
No matter how much the outside world discusses, I still expect Lin Miaoke to break free from the shackles of life and regain herself; Yang Peiyi does not forget her original intention, and they will eventually bloom in the splendor of life in music.
Because there is no end to life, the meaning of struggle is much higher than the result......
