When it comes to the name Cao Ying, I believe many people still remember it vividly.
This name once represented the stunning beauty of actresses in the 90s, and also represented the gorgeous prosperity of an era.
But now, Cao Ying, who has "disappeared for many years", no longer exists in front of the public, and she has taken a step forward and embarked on a completely different life path.
Cao Ying was born in Beijing in 1974 in an ordinary family.
When she was young, she was not as arrogant and pampered as she imagined, on the contrary, she showed early on that an actor should be thoughtful and tenacious.
Perhaps, it is this resilience that made her repeatedly defeated on the road of acting, and finally reached the peak of her career in the 90s.
In 1992, Cao Ying officially debuted with the role of "Xiaoqing" in "Friends of the Flower Kingdom".
For a newcomer, it is not easy to be the second female lead in the first work.
What's even more surprising is that her appearance is very eye-catching, and she is called "Peugeot's porcelain baby face" by netizens.
On the set, she is also known for her dedication, never playing big names, and is deeply loved by the director.
In 1994, Cao Ying's acting career had its first turning point.
This year, she was temporarily arranged to host the show on her behalf, and unexpectedly showed her hosting talent.
After becoming popular, she gave up her original career as an actress and officially transformed into a host.
In the eyes of many people, this is a cowardly move, giving up a stable job as an actor to try something new.
But Cao Ying calmed down, she believes that as long as she works hard, she can become a first-class host one day.
Sure enough, three years later, Cao Ying joined CCTV and became the host of the Spring Festival Gala in 2000.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and after three years of hard work, she successfully promoted from an unknown small host to the CCTV stage.
"A table of talents" and "diligence" are all evaluations of her.
Cao Ying also became more and more confident, and in 2001 and 2002, she renewed her contract as the host of the Spring Festival Gala.
Seeing that her career has reached its peak, everyone is speculating about what her next goal will be.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was talking, Cao Ying resolutely announced her resignation from CCTV in 2003.
"Why give up the high position" and "Is there an insider" public opinion was in an uproar for a while.
In the speculation of the outside world, Cao Ying soon settled in Hunan Satellite TV.
It turned out that she was just looking for a new working environment.
At Hunan Satellite TV, she continued to use her ingenuity and host many popular entertainment programs.
However, what made the public fall through the glasses the most was her decision to completely quit the entertainment industry in 2006.
It turned out that when filming a TV series in 2000, Cao Ying met her current husband Wang Ban.
At that time, there was a huge gap between the two, Cao Ying was already a well-known star, and Wang Ban was just a trick actor.
Because of this, the relationship between the two went through some twists and turns, and they finally became husband and wife.
After marriage, Cao Ying gradually slowed down her work for the sake of her family, and finally chose to quit the entertainment industry in 2006 to concentrate on her husband and children.
"Obviously his career is at the peak, but he gives up everything just for his family", Cao Ying's decision surprised many people.
has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she knows better than anyone that putting down her career and being a housewife wholeheartedly means that she will never return to the former glory.
Yet, she did it anyway. Because, she knows that the most important thing for success is not career, but the company of family.
As a result, since retiring from the entertainment industry in 2006, Cao Ying has disappeared.
It wasn't until 2022 that her name occasionally appeared in entertainment news.
It turned out that as early as more than ten years ago, she had already started a new life.
Today's Cao Ying is not a big star, just Wang Ban's wife and the mother of her children.
She lived a simple but happy life, finding meaning in her husband and children.
This may be what she really wants in this life.
That's right, Cao Ying chose to put down her career, but she never gave up on herself.
She just stepped back from the glamorous stage to the background and began to enjoy the hard-won family time.
From the outside, it may seem like a step backwards, but from the inside, she gains something much more valuable.
In 2022, Cao Ying suddenly appeared to attend a middle school reunion.
Everyone was ecstatic and said that they "miss Cao Ying's works" and "she is a benchmark in the 90s".
Unexpectedly, Cao Ying said with a smile: "My life is good now, but I am also wondering if I should make some changes."
This sentence, like a time bomb, suddenly exploded in the entertainment industry.
For a while, "Cao Ying's comeback" became a hot search, and everyone was looking forward to her releasing a film and a book.
In the limelight, Cao Ying just said gently: "I will think about it, life is still very long, and the road is still far away."
There are no ifs in life, but there are always possibilities. Cao Ying's story is not yet over, and her life is opening a new page.
Whatever her final choice is, we will bless her.
Because everyone's life deserves to be respected, and the path they choose deserves to be blessed.
The road of life is long, and Cao Ying's footsteps have not stopped.
