Child star debut
1973 was a significant year for Cai Ming, who was only 12 years old.
That year, she stood out in the national audition of the movie "Haixia" and became the actor of the childhood "Haixia".
At that time, she was full of longing and love for movies, but she also felt at a loss and apprehension about the future acting career.
"Haixia" is a film about the heroine of a fishing village, and Cai Ming plays the childhood Haixia in the film, who is both innocent and brave and tenacious.
Despite her young age, her performance seems natural and fluid, as if the role was a part of her life.
The film was not only a huge success in China, but also won a number of awards at international film festivals, and Cai Ming's outstanding performance quickly attracted the attention of the film industry, and her name began to be known to the public.
Three years later, at the age of 15, Cai Ming made a decision to join the Beijing Film Studio Actors Troupe, becoming the youngest actor in the troupe.
She rehearses every day, figurs out the role, and strives to be perfect in every detail, and her efforts have not been in vain, and she has gradually made a name for herself in the troupe.
In the 80s of the last century, Cai Ming began to explore the role of tragedy, and she starred in many tragic movies such as "Streamers with Golden Anchors" and "Tears in Gusu".
Although these works have been artistically recognized, they have not achieved the same widespread recognition as commercial films, and audiences never seem to be able to resonate strongly with Tsai's tragic characters.
The reason for the lack of widespread recognition may have something to do with the social environment at the time, in China in the 80s, audiences were more inclined to light-hearted films, and were not very receptive to deep tragic works.
In addition, although Cai Ming's performance in tragic movies is good, he lacks a character who can truly touch the hearts of the public.
The transition from tragedy to comedy
Cai Ming's exploration in the field of tragedy failed to achieve the expected success, which made her doubt her acting path, and it was during this confusion that she met Chen Peisi, a leading figure in the comedy industry.

Under his guidance, Cai Ming gradually broke the shackles of tragic roles and began to examine the performing arts from a new perspective.
