On an ordinary day in 1998, Li Ruiying, like every ordinary working day, devoted herself to the preparations for the broadcast of "News Network". Together with her best partner Luo Jing, she meticulously completed the extremely important rehearsal session, ready to enter the tension of the live broadcast at any time.
However, at this moment, Li Ruiying heard a phone call like a hammer. On the other end of the phone, it was the mother-in-law's grief-stricken cry: "Li Ruiying, it's all my old woman's fault...... Our baby fell from the stairs and was in a worrying ...... condition."
This devastating news deeply shocked Li Ruiying's calm and elegant posture. Despite her efforts to suppress her fears and try to hold back the well-flowing tears, she eagerly inquired about her child's injuries.
When she learned that although her son broke a bone in a fall, it was not life-threatening, she seemed to regain hope for life in an instant.
However, just as Li Ruiying was about to immediately rush to the hospital to visit her injured son, the countdown prompt in the radio room sounded inappropriately, and "News Network" was about to officially start live broadcasting! As the host of the main venue, if she left her post at this critical moment, the entire program would undoubtedly suffer a huge impact and impact.
When the surrounding colleagues saw this scene, they stepped forward to persuade them, they were worried that Li Ruiying might make a wrong decision because of impulse, which would not only live up to the audience's deep trust and love for them, but also bring irreparable losses to CCTV.
At this moment, Li Ruiying seems to be standing at a crossroads in life. One path leads to the left, which means that she will temporarily put aside her career and visit her injured son in the hospital, while the other leads to the right, where she must stick to her post, gritting her teeth even if she is in pain.
This is a time for her to make difficult choices, and in the face of sudden changes, no matter which side she chooses, she will pay a heavy price.
Since childhood, Li Ruiying has shown a unique quality of self-discipline, which stems from the family environment in which she grew up. She was born into a military family, and her father's education strictly followed the management standards of the military, and cultivated her ability to rigorously plan and arrange the affairs of life from an early age.
No matter the challenge of making good use of pocket money or the pressure of heavy housework, Li Ruiying is always able to plan everything accurately and step by step. Whenever her mother gave her pocket money, Li Ruiying could always prudently distribute it reasonably, and meticulously record each income and expenditure and its use.
In her spare time, she gave full play to her own advantages, either immersed herself in hard study, reviewed her homework, or assisted her mother in sharing household chores, showing her filial piety.
It is this high degree of self-discipline cultivated since childhood that makes Li Ruiying's life always maintain a busy and fulfilling rhythm. Since she was a child, she has had high hopes for her family, expecting her to become an extraordinary talent and bring glory to her family.
However, Li Ruiying did not live up to her family's expectations, she has always unswervingly walked in the journey of chasing her dreams, and has never slackened at all.
In the minds of teachers and classmates, she is undoubtedly a model student. After entering middle school, Li Ruiying developed a strong interest in literary books, and she read all kinds of good works voraciously, as if she had established a mysterious spiritual resonance with those great writers.
Subsequently, she did not hesitate to participate in the interview of the school's radio station, and with her excellent pronunciation skills and beautiful voice, she successfully became a member of the radio station announcer.
On that stage, she was like an outstanding communicator, reading touching prose poems to the students with a pleasant voice, which won warm applause and applause from the teachers and students.
However, on the eve of graduating from high school, when other students were planning their future studies, Li Ruiying fell into deep confusion. Her passion for broadcasting was so burning that for a moment she couldn't determine what she was really after.
Just when she was confused and helpless, a close friend stepped forward and suggested that she apply for the Beijing Broadcasting Institute and devote herself to the in-depth study of the broadcasting and hosting career.
This suggestion is like a beacon that illuminates the way forward for Li Ruiying. Since then, she has made clear her life goals and is determined to devote herself to the study and practice of broadcasting.
With her outstanding talent and perseverance, Li Ruiying quickly rose to the stage of CCTV, the highest level in the country. At the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, she amazed all the audience with her fluent and appropriate large-scale group gymnastics performance in both Chinese and English, and praised her extraordinary hosting talent.
The night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the same year, was a key milestone in her life. Li Ruiying was honored to appear on the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala with famous hosts such as Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, and Zhang Hongmin, and jointly hosted this grand party.
Although this was her first time on the stage of the world's attention, she showed an extraordinary composure and composure that made it impossible to believe that she was just a newcomer.
Since then, Li Ruiying's name has been deeply engraved in the hearts of audiences across the country, and she has gradually become familiar and loved by the audience. In the eyes of her colleagues at CCTV, she is more like a rising star, and her future will surely bloom with incomparably brilliant brilliance.
1996 was another important turning point in Li Ruiying's career. CCTV's decisive decision to change the popular "News Network" program to live broadcast format has undoubtedly posed an unprecedented challenge and test to the host.
They must ensure that every step of the way is perfect and flawless.
Leaders at all levels have paid great attention to this matter, especially in the selection process of the host, and they have carefully considered and strived to select the best talents. After careful consideration, Li Ruiying and Luo Jing finally "lived up to expectations" and won the premiere stage of the news network, becoming a model for latecomers to learn and imitate.
Since then, Li Ruiying and Luo Jing have been like two strong fortresses, sticking to the CCTV stage year after year, day after day, showing the most cordial, professional, and amiable image to the people of the whole country.
These two neatly dressed and elegantly behaved anchors quickly became the "evergreens" of the "news network", establishing an irreplaceable position in the minds of the audience, and always maintaining a record of zero mistakes over the years.
If you want to always maintain such an excellent performance, it is naturally not easy for Li Ruiying. Before each show, she is always fully committed and precise, trying to make every detail perfect.
In order to improve her oral expression skills, she always keeps a dictionary at hand, and reads the pronunciation annotations of rare Chinese characters at any time.
Li Ruiying's love story began with her childhood sweetheart Zhang Yuyan. The two have formed a deep friendship since childhood, grew up together, and their relationship is extremely deep. Both born and raised in Beijing, they lived in the same hutong during their childhood, and they were inseparable not only on campus, but also on their way home from school.
After entering junior high school and high school, although Li Ruiying and Zhang Yuyan were not able to study in the same school, this did not affect the deep friendship between them in the slightest. Whether it's after school or on holidays, they are always there to spend quality time together.
When she was about to graduate from high school, Zhang Yuyan learned that Li Ruiying was interested in applying for the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, and immediately gave great encouragement and support. He is convinced that with Li Ruiying's outstanding eloquence and talent, he will certainly be able to achieve brilliant achievements in the field of radio and television.
After entering the university, Li Ruiying devoted herself to the study of broadcasting and hosting, and was determined to become an outstanding host in the future. Zhang Yuyan chose to study at the School of Economics of Peking University, majoring in world economy, and is looking forward to devoting herself to the international financial industry in the future.
Although the two have different career paths in the future, this has not stopped their firm belief in supporting each other and moving forward together. In their college career, whether it is academic pressure or trivial matters in life, they can always help each other and accompany each other through every difficulty.
In 1983, Li Ruiying successfully completed her university studies and was dispatched by the school to work at Nanjing TV Station. Since then, she and Zhang Yuyan have started a long-distance relationship. Although the taste of parting was bitter, their feelings never wavered.
After a short and long separation, their emotions went through countless baptisms and finally merged completely. In the warm congratulations of relatives and friends, Li Ruiying and Zhang Yuyan solemnly entered the sacred marriage hall and opened a new chapter in their respective lives.
On the wedding night, Zhang Yuyan affectionately promised his wife that they could temporarily put aside the pressure of childbirth on the road of career development and focus on their careers.
Soon after her marriage, under the ardent expectations of her in-laws, Li Ruiying ushered in a major turning point in her life -- she successfully became pregnant and gave birth smoothly! Since then, she has not only to assume the responsibilities of a professional woman, but also to assume the heavy responsibility of a mother.
However, as the core host of CCTV, Li Ruiying's work burden is too heavy. In order to ensure that work is not affected, the children are mainly cared for by grandparents after birth.
And she and her husband Zhang Yuyan often need to work overtime at the unit, and rarely have the opportunity to be with their children.
In this way, the son has lost the love of his parents since he was a child, and he is inseparable from his grandparents. Whenever after school, he would always look enviously at other children being held by their parents, or carried on their shoulders, or hugged tightly.
And his lonely figure forms a strong contrast with the warm pictures of other families.
However, in the face of her son's doubts, Li Ruiying could not give a clear answer, and could only vaguely comfort "There will definitely be time in the future." However, the child was tired of this perfunctory, and he said to his mother in disappointment: "Mom, you don't love me, you care most about your work." ”
This sentence was like a heavy punch, and it hit Li Ruiying's heart deeply. As a mother, why doesn't she want to be like an ordinary family, pick up and drop off her children to and from school every day, and reunite with the whole family on weekends to share the joy of family?
However, as an important position in the country, she must not only focus on her small family, but must always put the interests of the country and the people first. This somehow deepened her guilt as a mother, and how much she wished she could squeeze out more time with her children.
The son's accusation was like a wake-up call that woke up Li Ruiying's neglect of the child. She understands that no matter how busy she is, she must find time to spend with her family.
With the help of her husband Zhang Yuyan's patient reconciliation, the mother and son can finally break the barrier and rebuild a close family bond. However, things in the world are unpredictable, and just when Li Ruiying is looking forward to a better future with hope, life has brought her a heavy blow.
The sudden accident made Li Ruiying deeply aware that even if she had a heavy workload, she still needed to find time to spend time with her loved ones. So in 2014, she resolutely announced that she would bid farewell to the first-line hosting stage in advance and end her 28-year brilliant career on CCTV.
After retirement, Li Ruiying was finally able to devote herself to a warm family life. Not only can she spend time with her adult son, but she can also use her spare time to carefully guide young students who have dreams of hosting.
In addition, retirement has also provided her with more opportunities to participate in public welfare and philanthropic causes. Over the years, Li Ruiying has always been an enthusiastic participant in public welfare activities, realizing the dream of studying for many poor students, and has devoted endless efforts on this road.
However, just as Li Ruiying was full of longing and ready to enjoy his retirement life to the fullest, some doubts and criticisms sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Some people directly accused her of being a "cold-blooded mother", failing to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, leaving a deep shadow on the child.
Some people even questioned her retirement decision, believing that choosing to retire at the age of 59 was really a lack of professionalism. The well-known host Shui Junyi once publicly criticized Li Ruiying on the TV screen: "Her early retirement plan is worrying, and she seems to think that the host can retire as long as her face is wrinkled and her speech is no longer fluent."
Even her colleague friend Xing Zhibin, as the "first sister of the national face", still sticks to the hosting position after reaching the retirement age, and she also has a lot of complaints about Li Ruiying's choice.
The criticism goes far beyond that. After Li Ruiying retired, he joined the university forum to teach his hosting experience accumulated over the years, but he was accused of "making money". Someone bluntly said: "Since you have left CCTV, you should no longer get involved in commercial activities."
In this brief moment, Ms. Li Ruiying endured many unbearable insults and reproaches, and was labeled as a "cold and heartless mother", "lack of professionalism", and "chasing for monetary gain".
However, in the whirlpool of public opinion, Ms. Li Ruiying's state of mind is still as calm as water, and she is eager to provide assistance to young people who have the dream of being an anchor, and inherit her rich work experience and profound understanding.
It is precisely because of this unwavering belief that she was able to serve as a distinguished professor at Beijing Broadcasting Institute and the executive chairman of the Business Steering Committee at CCTV respectively, and devote herself to the training work.
Although she has entered the age of sixtieth, Ms. Li Ruiying has never stopped moving forward, and she has always made unremitting efforts to promote the prosperity and development of the mainland's broadcasting industry.
She chose to ignore the baseless accusations, believing that one day, people would understand and respect her actions.
