Preface
CCTV hosts have always been valued by our public, but many ordinary people also want to be an excellent host, in such a situation where ordinary people can't get in, he took the initiative to leave CCTV, and it was to go to the United States!
Why did he give up the iron rice bowl in the first year? What kind of path has he embarked on now?
I gave up my CCTV job to go to the United States
Seventeen years ago, the host Li Jiaming, who had gained a firm foothold in CCTV, resolutely submitted a letter of resignation to CCTV because of a friend's words and went to the United States to study.
It turned out that at a party, his friend told him that Columbia University in the United States is very good at media studies and has a very outstanding influence in the world.
Hearing this, Li Jiaming was very moved. Because of his love for media studies and his thirst for knowledge, he gradually moved the idea of studying abroad.
However, he is no longer a stunned young man who wants to come out of the way, and he can't do whatever he wants to do after his age, but after careful consideration, he still decided to follow his heart.
Hearing their son's words, his parents were very opposed. One is that he is already very old, and he went to study abroad in his thirties, what does it look like in the eyes of outsiders?
The second is that Li Jiaming already has a very good and stable job, as a host, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in CCTV, if he resigns to study, it will be tantamount to smashing his iron job, which is tantamount to a big rebellion in the eyes of his parents.
And in the eyes of parents, isn't studying just to find a good job? Now that Li Jiaming already has a good job, why waste time studying abroad?
Regarding his parents' doubts and incomprehension, Li Jiaming did not choose to explain, but strengthened his belief.
He valued spiritual enjoyment more than material stability. The meaning of studying is far greater than working, so he gave up his long-standing iron job and turned around and bought a plane ticket to the United States.
Why did he take this opportunity to study so seriously? In fact, the main reason is closely related to his previous life.
From science student to presenter
Li Jiaming is from the beautiful Xinjiang, although his family is not wealthy since he was a child, his parents attach great importance to him.
The Li family has a total of three children, and Li Jiaming is the only boy, so the whole family has put their hopes on him, but he has never disappointed his parents.
However, he did not live up to his parents' expectations, he studied very well when he was in school, and in a loving family, his personality was also very cheerful, lively and confident, and other families have always been very envious of the Li family for having such a son.
And although he said that his grades have been very stable, what is even more surprising to everyone is that he is more simple and easy to understand for liberal arts, and often shows his talents in front of his parents.
Although he likes liberal arts, the employment situation in liberal arts is not as good as that of science, and his parents also want him to choose a promising science major.
In order not to disappoint his parents, Li Jiaming had to reluctantly cut his love. Because he knows how hard his family has tried to make him study.
Raising three children is a great burden on the family, in order to let Li Jiaming study with peace of mind, his parents are very hard, and his parents' biggest expectation for him is to get admitted to a good university and find a good job with a high salary.
But during high school, his love for literature and art became stronger and stronger, especially hosting, in addition to studying, his favorite thing is hosting.
Because of the standard Mandarin and the full tone of his speech, once there is any art show in the school, the teacher recommends him to be the host. In the accumulation of experience again and again, his hosting skills have become proficient, and he has also fallen in love with the feeling of hosting.
Slowly, he decided to take hosting as his lifelong career, and when he filled in the college volunteer, he put hosting as his first choice.
He felt that with his grades, it would be easy to get into his favorite major. But fate played a joke on him, that is, science could not be applied to the major he liked.
The news hit him like a bolt from the blue, but he didn't slump or give up his dream because of this, but chose to start over and went to Sichuan to take an acting training class.
For Li Jiaming's choice, the family naturally couldn't understand it, and he also lost financial support.
But material deprivation did not bring him down, and during his time in Sichuan, he chose to work and study, but the salary of the part-time job did not support his tuition and living expenses.
When he was desperate, he chose to borrow money from friends. Although the amount of money he borrowed was not small, his friends did not hesitate to lend him money because they believed in his character and ability.
After graduating, he got a job offer with excellent grades and worked as a talk show host for a TV station in Chongqing.
His superb emotional intelligence and hosting skills have made his show even more effective, and although he is a host from out of town, he is fully integrated into the local atmosphere.
Soon, he was voted the audience's favorite host in the host selection. Seeing his strength, the leaders of the station were unwilling to bury his talent, so they recommended him to CCTV.
As it turned out, he did deserve a bigger stage. Even in CCTV, which is full of talents, his talent has not been buried, but continues to shine.
In CCTV, he still hosts the variety shows he is good at, many programs are the memories of many people's youth, he has a sense of presence in front of the national audience with his humorous and witty language style, kind and lovely appearance, as similar articles in Sina said, his hosting style is relaxed and very close to the people.
However, just when his career was in full swing, he chose to study in the United States. This is not only to compensate for not being able to receive the education he liked when he was a child, but also to be confident in his own ability, believing that no matter how long it will take him to return to the TV station.
After he left, Nigmat took his place. After all, CCTV is very competitive, and no one will leave a place for him forever.
So what is he doing now? After returning from the United States, did he really improve?
Li Jiaming's current situation
Now Li Jiaming is still hosting the show, and like the previous humor, his hosting style has not changed, and many people feel that his overseas study experience has not changed him. From the content posted by People's Daily Online, we can know that he has never left the audience.
Compared with the glory of the past, the current Li Jiaming seems to have returned to the original point. But he didn't go to the United States to study to make money with his academic qualifications, so this may not be a big deal to him.
epilogue
Li Jiaming's story tells us that as long as a person has what he wants, then no matter how difficult it is in the middle, he can overcome it.
I hope that Li Jiaming can take his hosting career to the next level and bring better programs to everyone.
