Yan Xuejing was born in an ordinary county town, with an average family background, and his parents were ordinary workers. She has no remarkable talent or talent since she was a child, and her appearance is very ordinary.
However, she always had the dream of being an actress in her heart.
When he was 15 years old, a small amateur troupe came to the county seat. Yan Xuejing mustered all the courage to audition for the troupe, and she performed a sketch written and directed by herself. Several teachers in the audience felt that her typhoon was unfamiliar and her acting skills were insufficient, but they were attracted by the light in her eyes and her enthusiasm for performance.
The teacher immediately decided to give her a chance to stay and study with everyone.
When the parents learned about it, they were very opposed, thinking that their daughter was picking bones in eggs, which was a waste of time. But Yan Xuejing kept begging, saying that it was her dream to become an actress, and begged her parents to let her give it a try.
In the end, her parents agreed, just hoping that she wouldn't go too far and hurt herself.
The life in the troupe is not easy, her voice is in the period of voice change, often hoarse, the teacher in the troupe requires all the students to get up early every day to run and practice their voices, her throat hurts so badly that she almost has to quit.
Although it was difficult, she chose to stick to her dream of being an actress.
Gradually, everyone discovered this little girl's acting talent and perseverance, she can memorize a lot of lines, her performance is getting more and more in place, and the instructors' attitude towards her is becoming more and more important.
A year later, she finally got a chance to play a small supporting role with a big role.
The study at the Academy of Chinese Opera is very heavy, she studies from morning to night every day, and the pressure of schoolwork is also very high. However, she persevered and won awards in several on-campus and off-campus performance competitions.
A few years after her graduation performance, she played an important role in changing her face in opera, which amazed the audience and made many industry bigwigs look at it. As a representative of the graduates of the university, her speech was even more touching.
After returning from school, Yan Xuejing joined a military art troupe in his hometown and became a professional actor. After that, she participated in the first "Benshan Cup" National Drama Competition, competing with many professional actors on the same stage.
Because of her superb acting skills and unique charm, the judges fell in love with her, and in the end she won the championship. After that, Zhao Benshan was very satisfied with her, and gave her the stage name "Shanxing", and gave her important roles in many of his film and television dramas.
Since then, Yan Xuejing has gradually become famous in this industry.
In 2002, Yan Xuejing fell in love with Zhao Benshan's friend and troupe boss Lin Yue. Lin Yue is more than ten years older than her, and he also has a daughter, a middle-aged man who has experienced two divorces.
Although Yan Xuejing's family strongly opposed the marriage, she still chose not to listen to the advice without hesitation, and she firmly believed that she would be happy with him. Because she has seen a lot of loveless marriages, she believes in this love.
Yan Xuejing said: "Let him accompany me through this life." ”
After marriage, she took on the responsibility of two children by herself, not only taking care of Lin Yue's daughter as her own daughter, but also having a son with Lin Yue.
They looked happy on the surface, but the good times didn't last long, Lin Yue went out frequently because of work, which made the distance between the husband and wife farther and farther away. In 2009, the two chose to break up peacefully, ending their 7-year marriage.
Yan Xuejing chose to enter the palace of marriage again in 2013, and her partner was a wealthy man Ma Mingdong who was 10 years older than her. This time, despite the opposition of her family, she bravely chose her life.
At the age of 49, she became a mother again. She did confinement again for this newlywed husband in her later years, and she never felt tired, because this was her love.
Although her two marriages were not favored by everyone, she still did not hesitate and went all out. She disregarded the eyes of the world and listened only to her own inner voice. In the eyes of others, her choice may seem a little unwise, but every time she sacrifices, it is for the simple and deep word in her heart - love.
She believes that true love can overcome all difficulties, and she will not regret it no matter how difficult the process is.
Yan Xuejing, who is now 52 years old, has achieved fruitful results in both career and family. She was rated as a "national first-class actor" and enjoys a high reputation in the industry, and is a senior figure in the industry.
In addition, her son Lin Aofei is also a new generation of young students, and he held a grand wedding in 2022.
In retirement, Yan Xuejing is still active in front of the camera. She often appears in various live video broadcasts, with a ruddy face and a radiant look, and it is completely impossible to tell her age.
Her figure is well managed, and her mental state is equally enviable. Unlike many artists of the same age who live a Buddhist life after retirement, she strives to learn new things and act actively after retirement.
In 2022, her old partner Zhao Benshan's new comedy movie will be released, and she will also recreate the tacit understanding with him in the play. The return of an old friend is all too familiar to her.
After decades of ups and downs, she is still the lively and beautiful "mountain apricot", deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Over the years, she has inherited the resolute and hearty personality of Northeast women, and at the same time has become more gentle and intellectual. Now she is no longer wandering and struggling alone, but has her husband and children by her side.
Although she can no longer sacrifice everything for a belief as she used to, she has found another kind of fulfillment—the satisfaction of home.
Yan Xuejing's life has experienced many choices. She chose to enter the entertainment industry without hesitation despite the opposition of her family; she was not afraid of the world's eyes and boldly married a second-married man who was 10 years older than her; she resolutely decided to be a mother again when she was nearly 50 years old...... Each of her choices may seem crazy to others, but she never regrets it.
It is these seemingly "irrational" choices of hers that have created her success today.
I think the biggest lesson from her story is that choosing what you really want is more important than pursuing so-called "mainstream values" or "popular principles" when it comes to important decisions.
Only by being true to yourself can we appreciate the true meaning of life.
Yan Xuejing did not have the confusion of choosing when he was young, but when he reached middle age, he needed courage. Every time she chooses to be true to herself, no matter what the cost, she never goes against her will in order to cater to the world.
It can be said that it is precisely because of her "do your own thing" personality that makes her life unique.
Young people today face many choices, often defined by mainstream values or expectations. I hope that Yan Xuejing's story can inspire more people not to be bound by the voices of others in their lives, to have the courage to follow their hearts, and to dare to take the risks and consequences of their choices, only in this way can they live a wonderful life without regrets.
