1. On the road of chasing dreams, on the number of unknowns, regardless of the size, watching time flies, fighting the stars, now, I look back on the past alone, and my heart is full of emotion!
Guo Hong, 54, sits alone in her living room, her gaze shining directly on her face through the bright glass window. This warm sunshine, like the precipitation of the years, has witnessed every step of her growth, and also made her cherish the life in front of her even more.
At this moment, she closed her eyes slightly, her thoughts seemed to travel to the past era when she bravely pursued her dreams, and her mood trembled with the ups and downs of the pictures in her memory.
She was born into an artsy family, her father was an intellectual who held a position in a local cultural center, and her mother was a teacher with a deep love for music.
As the second oldest in her family, she has shown a unique talent and interest in the performing arts since she was a child.
Whether it is various activities or competitions during the school period, Guo Hong has won countless honors and applause with her outstanding talent.
Recalling that time, she deeply felt that she was able to pursue her dreams unswervingly without the enlightened education of her parents. They have never set limits on their three daughters' interests and hobbies, as long as it is a legitimate dream, they will do their best to support it.
Guo Hong still vividly remembers that when she performed at home or at school, her parents always stood up to cheer for her and applaud her for the first time. Her mother used to tell her, "The most important thing is to do what you love, and you should live for yourself."
These warm words became a powerful motivation for her to pursue her dreams later.

For Guo Hong, who is stepping into the hot land of Beijing for the first time, this new environment is simply a new battlefield. In order to be deeply rooted here, she had to face the dilemma of having no drama to film, so she could only rent a simple residence in a small rental class.
Despite the difficulties of life, she never fell into confusion or depression. During her days in the theater troupe, she has long been accustomed to physical toil, but the persistent pursuit of her dreams deep down cannot be expressed in words.
