1. Dig deep into the roots: children from ordinary working families are angry and read in order to reverse their fate!
Shi Liang, a teenager from an ordinary working family, has experienced the ruthless torture of discrimination and oppression since he was a child. His father was an ordinary laborer at the Luzhou Gas Mine of the Petroleum Administration, and his family was not well-off.
Shi Liang studied Peking Opera as a child, but his movements were always half a beat slower than those of his peers, so he was often mercilessly ridiculed by his peers.
Failure and setbacks did not overwhelm him, but made him deeply realize that only by surpassing others in a certain field can he escape the fate of being trampled on.
As a result, learning became Shi Liang's "talisman". He was firmly determined to use his hard work to change his destiny. In that turbulent era, Shi Liang was also sent to the countryside to work as a farmer and a worker.
In the face of difficult living conditions, Shi Liang was undaunted. However, due to his father's status as an ordinary worker, he was often discriminated against by others, and his life was very depressing. Filled with contradictions, he longs to find a path to a bright future.
The college entrance examination has become the only opportunity for Shi Liang to change his fate. In 1977, he resolutely took the exam, although he failed due to a long interruption in his studies. Half a year later, in 1978, he went all out again and was finally admitted to the French major of Beijing University of Foreign Chinese.
At that time, Shi Liang was still vague about his ideals. He just wanted to be able to escape the oppressive environment, and choosing a foreign language major was just a trade-off based on his own strengths.
At one time, he dreamed of becoming an honorable diplomat. However, due to the limitations of his status, he was unable to realize his desire to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After graduating from university, Shi Liang was assigned to Dalian as a French teacher. A year later, he regained the courage to apply for a graduate degree in Beijing, and was finally able to return to the city.
After entering the School of International Relations, he unexpectedly began to turn to the study of international law.
At that time, it was unprecedented to change majors halfway through.
2. Twists and turns in life: Abandon the diplomatic dream and gradually get involved in the entertainment industry
After entering the State Relations Yuan, Shi Liang's decision to turn to the study of international law is undoubtedly remarkable. It was not a whim, but a deliberate and wise decision. At that time, he was convinced that he already had a fairly high level of French and that he would be able to teach more than enough courses.
With the great wheel of reform and opening up, China is about to enter a new era of legal system construction, and the demand for legal talents is bound to surge. Mr. Shi Liang, who has the advantage of multilingual ability, deeply feels that the future of devoting himself to the legal career is infinitely bright.
However, in the face of the Ministry of Education's opposition to his "change of career", Shi Liang was caught in a dilemma when he graduated: if he could not write his graduation thesis in French, he would face the embarrassing situation of getting nothing or even obtaining a degree, and if he followed the convention of writing his thesis in French, he would miss out on a valuable law degree.
Fortunately, the mentor opened up a new path of hope for Shi Liang. Under the careful guidance of his supervisor, Shi Liang wrote a legal thesis in French, and finally succeeded in obtaining a master's degree in French, barely keeping this hard-won degree.
Despite this, the young and combative Shi Liang was not satisfied with having a bachelor's and master's degree from a well-known university in China and an enviable job, but he felt lost and confused, and his future direction was still vague.
So, Shi Liang decided to take a brave step and go to France to seek a way to realize his ideals. During his time in France, he not only obtained a master's degree in international business management from the University of Luqiao, but also successfully completed the acting professional training course of the Franco-American Film and Theater School.
So far, the road of acting has gradually become a new goal he is determined to pursue.
On the road of pursuing his ideals, Mr. Shi Liang has been involved in many fields, serving as a legal consultant, corporate white-collar workers, translators, teachers, tour guides, sales and other professions. However, none of this work touched the depths of his heart.
By chance, he tried to play roles, shoot commercials, and challenge extras, and found that these roles were exactly what he really longed for in his heart, and since then he has been deeply intoxicated with his acting career and sowed the seeds of his dream of being an actor.
