Li Ruiying was born in 1961 and lives in an ordinary family in Nanle County, Puyang City, Henan Province. Her father is a veteran soldier and hopes that his daughter can inherit his career and enter the military.
However, Li Ruiying did not yearn much for the life of the army, and did not have a clear plan for his future during his studies.
In the month when the college entrance examination was approaching, a classmate in Li Ruiying's class temporarily decided to apply for the Beijing Broadcasting Institute due to weakness. The classmate persuaded Li Ruiying to go to the exam with her to cheer her on.
Li Ruiying, who had no preparation for the exam, actually signed up for the exam at the instigation of her friends.
Early in the morning of the exam, Li Ruiying couldn't wait to go to the school communication room with the classmate to wait. As the exam approached, so did her nervousness.
The uncle glanced at Li Ruiying fixedly, then handed her the newspaper in his hand and said, "You try to read some passages of the article, and I will listen to your reading level."
Li Ruiying did so, but the uncle smiled and said to her: "You have a high talent, it shouldn't be a problem to be admitted to Beiguang."
It turned out that this amiable old man was not a school staff, but a senior broadcaster. He saw the pearl and discovered Li Ruiying's potential.
In this way, Li Ruiying was successfully admitted to the Broadcasting Department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute with her temporary intention and outstanding performance, opening a new chapter in her legendary life.
After entering Beiguang, Li Ruiying devoted herself to the study of broadcasting. She began reading the People's Daily aloud in the playground at 6 a.m., trying to improve her language fluency.
In her spare time, she would flip through the Xinhua Dictionary and devote herself to studying the pronunciation of words. By the four years of college, her dictionary had become a dilapidated one. With extraordinary perseverance and talent, Li Ruiying has laid a solid foundation for standing in the center of the stage in the future with diligent study.
During college, Li Ruiying immersed herself in strict broadcasting training and honed herself with hard work. She lived up to expectations and became the host of CCTV's "News Network" in one fell swoop, and formed a golden partner with Luo Jing for 28 years without a single mistake.
At the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, Li Ruiying studied broadcasting major, which was founded by the famous professor Zhang Song. The team led by Zhang Song gathered the best broadcasting talents from all over the country, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge for Li Ruiying.
She knows that if she wants to catch up with these classmates, she must put in more effort to keep learning and practicing.
Therefore, Li Ruiying has never interrupted her habit of reading the newspaper in the playground in the early morning, even during winter and summer vacations. In order to make her pronunciation more accurate, she always carries the heavy "Xinhua Dictionary" with her, and whenever she has free time, she will flip through it and try to memorize the pronunciation of words.
Sadly, in just four years, the dictionary in her hand had worn out beyond recognition.
With her loyalty, hard work and outstanding talent, Li Ruiying finally succeeded in standing under the spotlight of the stage. At the 1984 National Day Parade, her powerful, passionate and expressive voice left a deep impression on the national audience.
After graduating, Li Ruiying was assigned to work at Jiangsu Provincial TV Station and hosted a number of popular programs. She has always been very serious about her work, reciting the script repeatedly before each recording, and quickly consulting the dictionary when she encounters rare words.
With her excellent hosting skills, she was soon transferred to Beijing and worked at CCTV.
In 1987, after strict screening, Li Ruiying was successfully selected to become the host of "News Network" and partnered with the famous host Luo Jing. Because Li Ruiying showed a unique reserve and stability during the recording process, she naturally became the first female host of "News Network".
Since then, the duo of Li Ruiying and Luo Jing have started their 28-year career, and they have never made a single mistake in this long time.
As moderators, they need to read thousands of words of press releases word for word, and the slightest mistake can have serious consequences. But with years of hard work in school and work, Li Ruiying easily coped with this challenge, fought side by side with her partner Luo Jing, and became a world-renowned "golden partner".
In 2014, Li Ruiying hosted the last "News Network" of his career, and then retired to the background. However, she did not stop there, but founded a broadcasting training institution to continue to provide fresh blood to the industry.
In 2014, Li Ruiying hosted the last "News Network" of her long career. On this special night, she had mixed feelings in her heart. Looking at the familiar studio, recalling the bits and pieces of the past 28 years, her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Li Ruiying took a deep breath and tried to maintain her due professionalism. She glanced around, her eyes resting on the colleagues around her, who had been with each other like family all these years.
Li Ruiying knows that tonight is the last time, but she hopes that her performance will be as good as ever.
Sure enough, Li Ruiying once again used her trademark calm and self-control to skillfully complete the last hosting work. When she left the studio, she took a deep look, but didn't look back.
In the bottom of her heart, Li Ruiying understands that she will never forget the bits and pieces of the past 28 years.
After gradually retreating into the background, Li Ruiying did not stop there. Instead, she set her sights on new territory. Li Ruiying founded a broadcasting training institution, hoping to pass on the experience and knowledge she has learned over the years to the younger generation and cultivate more fresh blood for the industry.
Although her approach has aroused a lot of doubts and criticism from the outside world, and even some former colleagues have expressed confusion about it, Li Ruiying did not take it to heart. She still implements her professional ethics and conscientiously imparts broadcasting knowledge to students.
As a highly praised "CCTV first sister", Li Ruiying has undoubtedly added infinite brilliance to this ancient industry. And her practice of establishing a training institution after fading out of the front line has also given more people the opportunity to receive broadcasting training, injecting new vitality into this traditional industry.
Li Ruiying started a family and started a family with her husband Zhang Yuyan and started from scratch. In 1992, they were happy to have a beloved son, and Li Ruiying has worn many hats since then.
After leaving the campus of Beijing Broadcasting Institute, Li Ruiying and her childhood sweetheart Zhang Yuyan entered the palace of marriage. This relationship can be traced back to the childhood of the two, their parents are both military and live together in a military compound.
Li Ruiying and Zhang Yuyan, who had no guesses, formed the seeds of innocent friendship in this way.
As the years passed, this friendship gradually sublimated into love. During college, although the two studied in different schools, their feelings for each other never diluted. Zhang Yuyan often takes long trains, just to meet her sweetheart.
Once, in front of her mother, Zhang Yuyan made a sincere promise that if Li Ruiying could not return to Beijing to work, he would go to Nanjing to reunite with her after graduating from graduate school.
For Li Ruiying, this steadfast love is undoubtedly the source of great strength for her. In 1986, she was hired as a professor at Beijing Broadcasting Institute; The following year, he joined CCTV with his outstanding ability and became the host of "News Network".
In October 1987, Li Ruiying finally tied the knot with Zhang Yuyan and started a new stage of life.
The married life of the two is happy and lively, and they have also experienced all kinds of hardships. In order to take care of their elderly in-laws, they had to move to a military cadre rest house in Fengtai District, where transportation is difficult.
As the pillar of the family, Li Ruiying took on the heavy burden of housework and had to ask someone to help share it.
In 1992, a cute little angel descended on the couple, and Li Ruiying has since shouldered the multiple roles of wife, mother and CCTV host. In the face of heavy pressure, she never flinched, showing the tenacious and tenacious side of a contemporary woman.
Whether it is family or career, Li Ruiying is conscientious and conscientious, and interprets the responsibilities and responsibilities of a woman with practical actions.
On that ill-fated night in 1998, Li Ruiying was focusing on the preparation of "News Network", but received the bad news that his son had fallen from the building.
On that extraordinary night in 1998, Li Ruiying was engrossed in the preparatory work for the "News Network" program as usual. As a moderator, she needs to review the press release repeatedly to make sure nothing goes wrong.
Just when there were only 15 minutes left before the official broadcast of the show, the phone in Li Ruiying's hand suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, which was the number of the babysitter at home.
This is undoubtedly the biggest blow Li Ruiying has encountered in her career. As a mother, she certainly wants to rush to the hospital immediately and stay by her child's side; But as the "first sister of CCTV", she has an unshirkable obligation and mission, and she must complete this live broadcast that attracts national attention on time.
The huge contradictions collided fiercely in her heart, and Li Ruiying almost cried bitterly.
At the critical moment when her family's life was severely tested, Li Ruiying still adhered to her professional ethics and completed the live broadcast involving the fate of the country with the greatest perseverance.
During the live broadcast, she was certainly uneasy, but as a "beacon" on the giant ship of the motherland, she could not make a mistake at this critical moment.
It is this dedication to her career and love for the motherland that supported Li Ruiying to survive the most difficult hurdle in her life. When the live broadcast ended, she flew to the hospital like a gust of wind without hesitation, and the child was out of danger.
Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Li Ruiying was like unlocking a boulder in his heart, and finally couldn't hold back the composure on his face, and tears came out of his eyes.
Although it was too late to arrive, the family understood and supported Li Ruiying's approach. However, the good times did not last long, and when this incident was widely circulated on the Internet, the spearhead of public opinion began to turn to Li Ruiying.
Some people condemned her for ignoring family affection, being ambitious, and being an "unqualified" mother.
In the face of these criticisms, Li Ruiying has never defended and refuted, and she knows that this is her willing sacrifice and responsibility. It is with her dedication to her career and love for her motherland that she can make this difficult choice by weighing the scales of work and family affection.
After the live broadcast ended, Li Ruiying rushed to the hospital as soon as possible. Despite the criticism, she still stood by her professional ethics. This is the true portrayal of the inspirational life of CCTV's "first sister" Li Ruiying.
As soon as the show ended, Li Ruiying rushed to the hospital like a gust of wind, completely ignoring the prying eyes and criticism of the outside world. The anxiety and self-blame in her heart reached its peak at this moment.
In the hospital, her son was out of danger, and although she couldn't arrive in time, Li Ruiying still felt very lucky. However, when she saw her son sleeping peacefully, tears of guilt poured out like a bank.
Facing her husband and family, Li Ruiying could no longer hold back that reserved face. Her relatives have given her understanding and support, which makes her grateful. Her husband Zhang Yuyan said to her tolerantly: "Everything you do is for the cause and the country, I understand your hardships."
However, the good times did not last long, and when this incident was widely circulated on the Internet, the spearhead of public opinion began to turn to Li Ruiying. Some people condemned her as an "unqualified mother" who disregarded family affection and was eager to be ambitious.
In the face of all kinds of criticisms, Li Ruiying has never defended and refuted. She understands that this is a professional sacrifice that she has willingly made, and it is her sacred responsibility to the party and the country.
It is with her dedication to her career and love for her homeland that she was able to make such a difficult decision in a dilemma.
This unswerving professional ethics runs through Li Ruiying's 28-year hosting career. In the past 28 years, she has experienced many important moments of historical significance, but she has never made a mistake.
In 2014, after she hosted the last "News Network", she gradually retreated into the background.
Despite the criticism, Li Ruiying was not hit by this. Instead, she founded a broadcasting training institute to pass on her experience and knowledge to the younger generation, nurturing fresh blood for this traditional industry.
It is this persistence and dedication to her profession that has won Li Ruiying's respect and engraved her inspirational experience in the long river of history.
