In 1979, 18-year-old Li Ruiying had just graduated from high school and was facing an important choice in life. As a student with excellent academic performance, it seems that it is not difficult for her to apply for her ideal university.
But for the planning of her future career, Li Ruiying felt that the future was bleak and confused.
It was at this moment that fate guided her in a subtle and serendipitous way, a new direction in her life. One day, Li Ruiying accompanied her friends to the registration office of Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
While waiting outside the school gate, she noticed a kind old man who seemed to be having trouble reading the newspaper.
Out of kindness, Li Ruiying stepped forward and politely asked if she needed help. It turned out that the old man's eyesight was not as good as before, and he could not read the contents of the newspaper smoothly. So, Li Ruiying picked up the newspaper without hesitation and read it clearly in a magnetic Beijing accent.
At first, Li Ruiying was just reading with a helping heart. But she soon became captivated by her smooth and beautiful pronunciation. Between the tone and frustration, the tone is sincere, like a spring rain that infiltrates the heart, warming people's hearts.
When she read the highlights, she was even intoxicated, and her tone became even more emotional.
That's when a surprising twist took place. Encouraged by Li Ruiying's outstanding performance, the old man enthusiastically persuaded her: "Little girl, are you also here to take this exam? Looking at your wonderful performance today, it seems that you have an excellent talent for broadcasting."
Li Ruiying only had the original intention of accompanying her friends at that time, and never thought of engaging in this profession. But with the enthusiastic encouragement of the old man, her heart began to burn with the fire of yearning for the broadcasting career.
After much thought, she finally mustered up the courage to join the ranks of the candidates.
In this way, an unrelated chance changed the trajectory of Li Ruiying's life, made her embark on the destined road of broadcasting and hosting, and finally achieved her glorious legend of "CCTV's No. 1 anchor".
Bumpy road
With her excellent pronunciation talent, after layers of screening, Li Ruiying entered the Broadcasting Department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute as she wished. Here, she met a lifelong mentor, Professor Zhang Song.
As a senior leader in the broadcasting industry, Zhang Song has extremely strict requirements for Li Ruiying, a student. He repeatedly told Li Ruiying that even though his pronunciation is already excellent, if he wants to truly gain a foothold in the broadcasting industry, he still needs to start with the most basic pronunciation training, and must not be slack in every detail.
Although it was hard, Li Ruiying never neglected the teachings of her mentor. She always remembered the sincere teachings of her mentor and practiced diligently on the campus trails every day.
At six o'clock in the morning, a loud voice can be heard in the park, which is carefully reading the pinyin in the dictionary. As long as any pronunciation is still not perfect, she will correct it again and again until she is completely satisfied.
Hard work pays off. Not only is his pronunciation skills becoming more and more proficient, but more importantly, Li Ruiying's enthusiasm for broadcasting is increasing day by day.
In 1984, Li Ruiying, who had left school shortly after graduation, was honored to host the military parade and fireworks display to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the National Day. Her outstanding performance made her famous, and then she was strongly recommended by Professor Zhang Song, and it took only 3 years to successfully jump from local TV to CCTV, officially starting her broadcasting and hosting career.
After entering CCTV, Li Ruiying always has a humble heart. She understands that as a journalist, it is her duty to bring the voice of the country to the audience, so she always works with a pious professional ethic.
Once, just as she was about to broadcast "News Network" live, she received bad news from the nanny: her young son unfortunately fell from a tall building and was in critical condition. The moment she learned the bad news, Li Ruiying was at a loss and panicked.
As a mother, she should have rushed to the hospital immediately, and perhaps this would be the last time; But as a CCTV anchor, she is more aware of the heavy responsibility she shoulders.
After a short period of calm, Li Ruiying regained her composure, fully focused on the live broadcast work in front of her, and successfully completed the day's program. After the live broadcast, she hurried to the hospital to visit her son, who had suffered an accident.
This decision is a portrayal of Li Ruiying's persistent pursuit of the broadcasting career, and it is also the best footnote to her professionalism. Because of this, she can be unswerving and stand tall on the stage of CCTV, and pave the way for her brilliant career.
Dilemma
After her son's accident, Li Ruiying hurried to the hospital and felt a little relieved to see that her son was safe and sound. She breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in front of her son's hospital bed, and said earnestly: "If we fail to do so this year, then let's look forward to fighting again next year."
Learning is the end of a lifetime, and there is no need to be too eager for quick success. Mom and Dad never expected you to become a top student, and you must be admitted to a well-known university or advanced degree.
You deserve to live your own wonderful life, not become a vassal of others.
Faced with her son's temporary loss of the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, Li Ruiying showed a mother's broad and tolerant mind. Although this was a heavy blow to her son, she did not severely criticize him, but sincerely encouraged him to grow up at his own pace and live his wonderful life.
This tolerant and generous maternal love is an important reason why she has not been heard from for many years.
As a staunch supporter of Li Ruiying's career, her husband Zhang Yuyan understands this very well. As a well-known scholar of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Zhang Yuyan is well aware of his wife's enthusiasm and dedication to the broadcasting career, so she has never interfered with her work, but has given her full support and tolerance.
In family life, Li Ruiying is also a virtuous wife and daughter-in-law. Whenever her mother-in-law was sick, she would serve in secret, taking care of her mother-in-law's diet and daily life, adding warmth to the harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
This persistent pursuit of career is also destined to be absent from Li Ruiying's family. In her 18-year CCTV hosting career, she sacrificed a lot of time with her family for work.
Especially the time spent with my son, which is very little. Fortunately, it was only after her son's accident that Li Ruiying realized the trade-off between work and family.
Since then, she has begun to spend as much time as possible with her son, warming his son's wounded heart with maternal love.
It is not easy for journalists to be able to live broadcast without a single mistake in 18 years. This unwavering enthusiasm for work is exactly the professionalism that Li Ruiying embodies when she sticks to her post.
Even at the critical moment when her son's life was in danger, she did not choose to give up her job easily.
That day, when the bad news of the nanny came, Li Ruiying was at a loss, and her inner impact can be imagined. As a mother, she should have rushed to the hospital as soon as possible; But as a streamer, she is more aware of the heavy responsibilities she shoulders.
After a brief period of calm, she regained her attention and devoted herself to the upcoming live broadcast, completing the day's program as always.
It wasn't until the last shot was sent that Li Ruiying rushed to the hospital like an arrow from the string to visit her son who was sleeping there. It is this professionalism of putting work above family and giving up the small family to take care of everyone that makes Li Ruiying abide by her duties and work hard in the post of news broadcaster, establish the reputation of "CCTV's first mouth", and also maintain a perfect record of 18 years without a single mistake.
Freedom to grow
For her son's educational philosophy, Li Ruiying pursues letting go and letting him grow up freely, rather than strictly demanding and restricting. This "inaction" maternal love stems from her deep affection for her son.
As a famous host in Beijing, Li Ruiying and her husband Zhang Yuyan are top figures in terms of social status and education. However, even so, they have never made harsh demands on their son, let alone imposed their own expectations on him.
Li Ruiying only hopes that her son can live his true self and live his wonderful life, instead of becoming a vassal of others.
Perhaps influenced by her father's strict discipline, Li Ruiying is humble and low-key, and rarely takes pride in front of her son. Whenever she goes out, a fan asks for an autograph, but she often declines politely, not taking her fame to heart at all.
She hopes that in a natural and peaceful way, her son will know his true self, rather than imposing his own glory on him.
In fact, Li Ruiying's love for her son is heartfelt and deep. When her son fell from a tall building, she chose to stick to her job even though she should have rushed to the hospital immediately.
But when the show ended, she rushed to the hospital as soon as possible and visited her sleeping son with tears in her eyes. At that most critical moment, the mother's love prevailed over everything.
Even so, Li Ruiying did not blame her son for losing the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, but showed a broad and tolerant mind. She said to her son earnestly: "If we don't get what we want this year, let's look forward to fighting again next year."
Learning is the end of a lifetime, and there is no need to be too eager for quick success... You deserve to live your own wonderful life, not become a vassal of others.
These warm exhortations are the true portrayal of Li Ruiying's motherly love for her son's "inaction". She has never been harsh on her son, neither forcing him to go to any school nor expecting him to get a degree.
She only hopes that her son will follow his steps, take care of himself, and pursue the life he really yearns for in his heart.
The reason why this tolerant and generous mother's love is so persistent is that Li Ruiying loves her son deeply. As a mother, she understands the importance of her son's future and gives him maximum freedom to live his true life.
It can be said that it is this "inaction" maternal love that has made Li Ruiying weigh both work and family. She conquered the workplace with her enthusiasm for her career, and also gave birth to her son's free personality with the connivance of maternal love.
This wisdom of the best of both worlds is the most distinctive feature of Li Ruiying, the "No. 1 mouth of CCTV".
