At that time, she was heroic and extraordinary, and won the respect and love of countless people.
In the process of filming this classic, Zhu Xijuan firmly decided to devote herself to creation. She was not afraid of hardships, traveled thousands of miles away, visited the battlefield sites of the year, experienced the hardships and difficulties of military life, and worked hard to hone the basic combat skills of the women's soldiers, including carrying guns, wearing straw sandals, enduring the scorching sun, etc.

In the end, Zhu Xijuan's wonderful performance in the film aroused a strong response from the whole society, and the audience fell for it.
That year, she won the Best Actress honor for her outstanding performance and became a high-profile film and television superstar at that time.
It is worth mentioning that at that significant award ceremony, Premier Zhou Enlai came to the scene and sent her a warm invitation to dance together. For an actress from an ordinary family, this is undoubtedly the most glorious moment in her life.
The privilege of being able to get up close and personal with the country's leaders and share a good time was something she never expected. Since then, Zhu Xijuan's acting career has flourished and become famous, and she is known as the "People's Artist".
However, just when Zhu Xijuan's career was in full swing, she made a jaw-dropping decision - at the age of 60, she chose to immigrate to the United States. In the face of everyone's doubts and opposition, Zhu Xijuan still firmly chose to go to a foreign country.
