Preface
Have you ever thought about what kind of arduous journey is hidden behind those glamorous achievements, and what kind of moving stories are contained under those brilliant achievements engraved in the annals of history?
On the road of life, no one will inevitably suffer from labor pains and struggles.
However, it is these twists and turns and hardships that have created those giants who are relentlessly pursuing.
Today, we will let the story of this legendary figure lead you to appreciate the unyielding perseverance behind the ups and downs of fate.
Zhu Xijuan, who was born in the war-torn era
Zhu Xijuan, this resounding name, has been a household name since the 70s of the last century.
She was born in 1938, at a time of turmoil for the country.
Despite the fragrant atmosphere of high-ranking cadres in the family, the smoke of war relentlessly enveloped the entire country.
In that cruel and turbulent era, fate always played tricks on people's hearts.
When Zhu Xijuan's eighteen-year-old brother contracted a terminal illness, the family's sky suddenly fell into a torrential rain.
Despite the family's best efforts, they could not prevent the catastrophe from coming.
The death of his brother was like a hammer, shattering the last bit of illusion in this family, which had already suffered the trauma of war.
Zhu Xijuan's parents originally hoped that their daughter would be able to achieve great ambitions and become a literary giant or a well-known writer.
Who would have thought that such a superior family environment would not be able to escape the merciless laughter of fate? Zhu Xijuan's inner haze was like a thick cloud, enveloping her and making it difficult to extricate herself.
"I often dream of my brother, and he is still so strong in my dreams," Zhu Xijuan often said in interviews.
Her brother's death was like a sharp thorn that forever pierced her heart.
Life has been in a fog and the future has been bleak.
And it was this ordeal that slowly forged her tenacious character.
Since the death of her brother, Zhu Xijuan seems to have transformed into a new self.
In the past, she was gentle and quiet, but now she is resolute and determined.
The careful teaching of her parents allowed her to get out of the haze and embark on the road of study again.
Embark on the path of acting
When she was in junior high school, Zhu Xijuan encountered the first turning point in her life.
A director named Zhao Dan recruited child actors for the film in Shanghai, and he was immediately impressed by Zhu Xijuan's temperament and did not hesitate to extend an olive branch to her.
In this way, an opportunity made Zhu Xijuan and film and television art form an indissoluble bond.
She did not hesitate to seize this unprecedented opportunity and dedicate herself to the role of actress.
When the film was released, her excellent performance immediately caused a sensation and strengthened her determination to embark on the road of acting.
In the days that followed, Zhu Xijuan was eager to learn the performing arts, and she was eager to comprehend this art into her bone marrow.
In the end, she graduated from the Acting Department of Shanghai Theater Academy with excellent grades and officially became a professional actor.
There are thousands of red dust, but Zhu Xijuan stood out with her extraordinary talent and perseverance and became the hottest first-line actress at that time.
Especially in 1958, after starring in the role of Wu Qionghua, the heroine of the immortal war masterpiece "Red Women's Army" directed by Xie Jin, she became famous in one fell swoop and won the highest honor at that time - the first Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.
For a time, she was sought after and loved by countless people.
As a popular star, fans surround her like clouds, but she still maintains her humble nature.
Although she has gained fame and fortune, she still always has a humble heart and treats every fan with enthusiasm and friendliness.
She knows that a true artist should never be self-absorbed in the ethereal vanity fair.
It is precisely out of her unremitting pursuit of art and her unique understanding of life that Zhu Xijuan began to think about how to make her works convey more humanistic care and social responsibility in the later stages of her career.
She hopes to use her wisdom and strength to contribute to film and television art.
The Road to Shenzhen
1979 is destined to be an important turning point in Zhu Xijuan's life.
After experiencing the brilliant glory of her acting career, she began to reflect on her next step in life.
At this time, the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone brought new opportunities to her.
Looking at this vibrant emerging city with countless talented young people, Zhu Xijuan felt a strong desire to contribute her meager strength to the construction of the motherland.
After unremitting efforts, she was finally approved and her family moved to Shenzhen.
Zhu Xijuan is like a phoenix that has been reborn, and she has re-demonstrated her infinite talent here.
She has quickly grown into the deputy director of Shenzhen TV station with her outstanding organizational management skills, and has achieved fruitful work results every year.
During her tenure, she contributed significantly to the growth of this emerging city.
At the same time, she has witnessed the transformation of Shenzhen from an obscure town into an international metropolis that has attracted the attention of the world.
More than ten years of time is not long, but it is not short.
Zhu Xijuan has integrated her hard work and youth into the city and witnessed every stage of Shenzhen's development.
And in these long years, she has always cherished a pure heart, and contributed all her strength to the city with her wisdom and courage.
A new journey overseas in his later years
Reaching the glorious age of 60 years old in life should have been the moment to enjoy your old age.
However, Zhu Xijuan once again made an unexpected decision - she wanted to travel across the ocean to a foreign country to continue to pursue her ideals and life pursuits.
This news undoubtedly caused an uproar at the time, and countless people secretly scoffed at her decision.
They couldn't understand why a 60-year-old man would go to a strange country alone, shouldn't he spend his old age in peace and enjoy life?
However, for Zhu Xijuan, the pursuit of ideals trumps everything.
At this time, the cultural hit drama "Beijingers in New York" is setting off a huge social repercussion, and more and more Chinese are beginning to step out of the country and go to the world.
As a senior cultural communicator, Zhu Xijuan hopes to contribute to this change and continue to spread the long-standing Chinese civilization overseas.
With such a long-cherished wish, Zhu Xijuan resolutely chose to go to the United States.
Although she also has the same homesickness in her heart, her pure heart of loving the culture of her motherland has made her brave and unhesitating.
After arriving in the United States, Zhu Xijuan did not live a negative life.
Instead, she and her husband worked diligently and devoted themselves to filmmaking and cultural promotion.
The two worked together to create their own company, devoting all their limited energy to promoting the development of China's film industry.
During these years in a foreign country, Zhu Xijuan and her husband experienced unimaginable hardships.
They have been traveling between China and the United States all year round, and they are tired and physically and mentally exhausted.
The estrangement caused by cultural differences often makes them confused, and the loneliness of wandering in a foreign land crushes them for a while.
However, even if many difficulties were superimposed on Zhu Xijuan's body, she never wavered from her grand ideals in life.
In order to re-take root and germinate the seeds of Chinese civilization in a foreign land, she regarded all hardships as floating clouds and resolutely struggled forward.
In the dissuasion of family and friends, and in the doubts of public opinion, Zhu Xijuan never flinched.
It is with this unswerving perseverance and magnificent ambition that she was able to restart her new journey in her later years.
epilogue
It is true that everyone's life will inevitably experience ups and downs and hardships.
However, Zhu Xijuan used her life to interpret an unyielding attitude towards life.
From the trauma of losing her brother at a young age, to embarking on the road of acting, the peak of her career, devoting herself to the construction of Shenzhen, and then continuing to pursue her ideals overseas in her later years, she has measured different stages of life with her own steps, but she never stops.
Perhaps, it was the huge shadow brought to her by her early family experiences that made her understand the fragility and impermanence of life, and then understand the valuable attitude of life to live in the present and go all out.
She is a legendary superstar in the entertainment industry, and she is also a woman who has dreams and moves forward bravely.
Zhu Xijuan's legendary life is enough to show that unyielding perseverance is the most valuable quality on the road of life.
And as long as we persevere and look to the future, everyone will forge their own legend on their own life path.
