A female artist who has the courage to pursue her dreams
The 46-year-old Tongali is sitting quietly in front of the window at the moment, looking out at the bustling street. Looking back on those remarkable days in the past, she has completely let go of the choices she made back then.
"Life is a journey, and there is no turning back. Tongali muttered thoughtfully, a faint smile on her lips.
At the age of 26, in order to show the beauty of the human body, Tongali resolutely decided to become a body art model. It was a conservative era, and this move undoubtedly caused an uproar in society.
The high 100,000 web searches per day are enough to prove that she has sparked widespread attention and discussion.
In the face of strong opposition from her family, Tongali must have experienced great pain and struggle in her heart. Her parents angrily cut off contact with her, and her husband, Shen Dong, who once loved her deeply, also chose to end his marriage with her.
For a moment, Tongali felt like she was isolated from the crowd, alone in the face of all the accusations and attacks.
However, the 26-year-old girl was not knocked down in the slightest. On the contrary, she strengthened her beliefs and was determined to go further and further on the road of body art.
Despite the obstacles, Tongali has bravely risen to the challenge of innovating and breaking new ground.
In the end, with the cooperation of photographer Zhang Xulong, Tongali and him created a series of body art works that shook the art world. These works were compiled into a book and published as the book "Tongali Body Art".
The book was an instant sensation in the art world, selling out in its first edition, and selling as much as 1. 50,000 copies. With this work, Tongali became one of the most watched Chinese actresses of the year.
Despite the heavy price she paid in the process of achieving her dream, Tongali never regretted her choice. Even in middle age, her life is still low-key and simple, but her heart has completely let go of the past.
"If there is an afterlife, I will still choose to be a good mannequin. Tongali said calmly, "The gains and losses of life are inevitable. The important thing is to face it bravely and persist in pursuing your dreams.
This calmness and calmness are undoubtedly worthy of our learning and admiration. Perhaps it is this perseverance and courage that has made Tongali a true female artist.
Dance professional to body art model
Born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1976, Tongali has been eye-catching since she was a child with her excellent appearance and excellent body quality. Her parents wanted her to be a good athlete, so they sent her to the gymnastics team for training.
After winning a provincial gold medal in gymnastics, Tongali began to turn to dance for further study.
Tongali, who graduated from the dance department of the art school, was assigned to work in the provincial song and dance troupe with excellent results, and then became a leading dance talent for the TV station. She went to the Beijing Dance Academy to study classical dance, and finally entered the top Oriental Song and Dance Troupe in China.
It was at this time that Tongali met the famous director Shen Dong. The two established a deep friendship through work, and with the support of Shen Dong, Tongali began to enter the film and television industry, and soon became a high-profile new generation of artists in the circle.
At the same time, Tongali began to face some challenges. The gap between dance and performance, and how to balance the performance of the role, became a difficult problem for her.
However, she has always firmly chosen to rise to the challenge and stick to her artistic dreams. In the end, Tongali and Shen Dong entered the marriage hall, and the relationship between the two was sweet and their lives were harmonious.
Just when everything seemed to be happy, a major turning point occurred. A portrait photographer named Zhang Xulong took the initiative to find Tongali and offered to shoot a series of "body art" photos for her.
At first, Tongali was hesitant, but after learning that the art form was in high demand in overseas markets, she jumped at the chance and committed to a year-and-a-half-long project.
For the girl, who once focused on dancing and acting, becoming a body art model was undoubtedly a whole new challenge. But she did not flinch at all, but strengthened her belief and devoted herself to the exploration of this new field.
Body art caused an uproar
With Zhang Xulong's cooperation, Tongali and he co-created a series of stunning body art works. These works were eventually compiled into a book and published as the book "Tongali Body Art".
The book was an instant sensation in the art world, and the first edition sold out, selling as much as 1. 50,000 copies. With this work, Tongali became one of the most watched Chinese actresses of the year, and the daily search volume on the whole network exceeded 100,000 people.
But this remarkable achievement has also brought endless troubles and difficulties to Tongali.
The first is the backlash from the family. In the face of her parents' doubts and scolding, Tongali must have suffered a lot in her heart. As a conservative era, her choice to become a body art model was undoubtedly an extremely rare and bold decision that would inevitably cause anger among her family.
Her parents angrily cut off contact with her, which was undoubtedly the hardest blow to Tongali.
In addition, Tongali also has to face disputes over the remuneration of photographer Zhang Xulong. After the two parties jointly created a body art work that shook the art world, a heated dispute broke out between the two over copyright and sharing.
This has become another difficult problem that Tongali needs to deal with bravely.
What made her even more painful was that her husband Shen Dong, who originally loved her deeply, finally chose to end his marriage with her. Faced with the complete collapse of her family, the 26-year-old Tongali must have suffered from her heart.
But even so, she was not defeated. On the contrary, she strengthened her conviction and was determined to continue on the path of body art.
Instead of bowing her head and admitting defeat, Tongali turned to work with another photographer, Shi Song, after accepting Zhang Xulong, to innovate and push the boundaries of this art form.
With her tenacity and dedication to art, she finally succeeded in overcoming many obstacles and going further and further on this difficult path.
Undoubtedly, this is a challenging process. In the face of accusations and attacks from public opinion, Tongali must also maintain a strong inner strength. But she never gave up, but continued to thrive in the face of adversity, and eventually became an artist in the limelight.
The career gradually set sail
Despite her long single years, Tongali remains cautious about relationships. After a long period of hard work, those relatives who had cut off contact with her for many years finally reconciled with her.
She was once asked if she felt remorse for the decision she had made, and if she hadn't, it might not have led to the breakdown of her marriage.
But Tongali calmly responded that she did have regrets back then, and now that she thinks back to that past, she is completely relieved. "Because I know that gains and losses in life are inevitable.
If there is an afterlife, I will still choose to be an excellent mannequin and have no regrets.
Now Tongali has entered the age of 46. The lifestyle is simple and low-key, and the high-profile days of the past no longer attract much attention.
But she still maintains the original spirit of chasing dreams and daring to challenge. As Tongali said, life is like a journey, there is no turning back, only by moving forward can you win your own future.
To sum up, Tongali is undoubtedly a brave and persistent female artist. In order to pursue her artistic ideals, she resolutely chose the path of becoming a body art model, and experienced the breakdown of her family and the estrangement of her loved ones in the process.
But she never gave up on her beliefs, but continued to strengthen herself in the face of adversity and achieved great achievements in her career. Even if her marriage eventually broke down, she chose to maintain a friendly relationship with her ex-husband and develop together in their careers.
