In 1997, Wang Erni was admitted to Ansai Northern Art and began her artistic career, however, because her family was relatively poor, her parents borrowed money from the family everywhere to make up for tuition in order to send her to school, and they also wanted to send Wang Erni to a professional school to learn singing.
Wang Erni knows that learning opportunities are not easy to come by, so she studies professional knowledge very seriously in school, and her grades in each subject are among the best in the school.

After getting married, Wang Erni planned to take her mother-in-law and father-in-law to live together, however, to her surprise, her mother-in-law rejected Wang Erni's proposal in a gentle but resolute tone: "We are old, we don't want to cause trouble to young people, I just want you to be happy." ”
Although her mother-in-law has always been eager to be able to hold her grandson as soon as possible, she has never put pressure on Wang Erni in this matter, she knows that it is not easy for Wang Erni, a child who grew up in the countryside, to achieve today's achievements, and it takes a long time to devote energy to pursue this career.
