In the bustling Shanghai Tang in the 60s of the 20th century, a young girl named Zhou Jie was full of infinite enthusiasm and unremitting pursuit of dance art since she was a child. Although she was born into a modest family, her love for dance was not shaken by the embarrassment of life.
Unfortunately, due to her family background, Zhou Jie was unable to enter the door of the dance school for a while. However, in the face of difficulties, she did not choose to retreat, but redoubled her efforts to practice dance in her daily life, even if her delicate body often felt extreme pain and even illness due to high-intensity training, she was still not discouraged, and always held on to her dance dream with firm faith.
After nearly ten years of hard work, Zhou Jie has shown extraordinary perseverance and perseverance. Finally, when she was 12 years old, with her unwavering determination and outstanding talent, she was successfully admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, and began a new journey of chasing her dream in dance.
After entering the troupe, Zhou Jie's potential seemed to be completely released, and her life ushered in a major turning point. On this professional stage, her talent has been fully exercised and improved, and in just half a year, she has been able to independently assume an important role as the heroine of the stage repertoire.
From a little girl who was hindered by reality to finally accepted and cultivated by the professional stage of the Shanghai Theater Academy, Zhou Jie is destined to embark on an extraordinary life path with her perseverance in learning and incomparable love for dance.
However, fate mercilessly brought the artist to the most brutal test. In 2015, when Zhou Jie was diagnosed with cervical cancer, the final countdown to her life began. This sudden illness was like a hammer, shattering all her expectations for a better life.
However, even under the torture of illness, she still stuck to her post and devoted herself to her work, until the new crown epidemic swept the world in 2021, and she had to temporarily put down her heavy responsibilities in desperation.
At the last moment of her life, Zhou Jie's only wish was to be able to return to the embrace of the motherland, see that familiar land with her own eyes again, and take a deep breath of the air of her hometown.
In order to realize the deepest long-cherished wish in this life, Zhou Jie paid countless hardships and spent a huge amount of nearly 270,000 yuan to charter a flight back to the motherland after a long absence. Although the journey was exhausting, the moment she finally set foot on the land of her hometown, her heart gushed out with endless emotion and tranquility, as if all the hardships and fatigue were all wiped out at this moment!
On the fifth day of the cycle of life and death, this great artist passed away quietly, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and incarnated as the eternal light of art, forever remaining in the hearts of the world.
Zhou Jie insisted on celibacy throughout her life, without children by her side. She devoted all her heart and soul to her beloved dance career, and until the last moment of her life, she remained steadfast in her pursuit of her artistic dreams.
In addition to being an excellent dancer, Zhou Jie is also an excellent actor. She has participated in two classic costume dramas "Yang Guifei" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", successfully created the two representative characters of Yang Guifei and Lifei, and won high praise from people inside and outside the industry.
In the work "Yang Guifei", in order to be able to perfectly interpret this role that captivates the country and the city, Zhou Jie can be said to have worked hard. She studied the script repeatedly, memorized every line, and even in her dreams, various situations about Yang Guifei often surfaced.
In order to conform to the plump aesthetic concept of the Tang Dynasty, she did not hesitate to quickly gain more than 30 pounds in just one month, ingested a large amount of high-calorie food every day, and lay motionless on the bed after eating.
For this role, Zhou Jie has a firm belief. She wholeheartedly figured out every detail in the script, imitated Yang Guifei's posture and expression, and strived to perfectly reproduce the demeanor of this beauty.
So, she memorized every movement and every expression, and was always ready for the next audition challenge.
Just when Zhou Jie had gone all out, when she stood in front of director Chen Jialin for the first time to audition, and had not yet fully demonstrated her unique skills, Chen Jialin was already deeply moved by her wonderful performance.
As expected, as soon as the TV series was broadcast, Zhou Jie's superb acting skills instantly sparked heated discussions, which amazed the audience. She successfully interpreted the role of Yang Guifei and vividly presented this beauty who was captivating to everyone.
In fact, long before that, that is, in 1983, Zhou Jie had appeared on the big screen for the first time and played the role of Concubine Li in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace". Although this is only an insignificant small supporting role, Zhou Jie has devoted all her efforts to shaping this role, laying a solid foundation for her future acting career, and has been highly recognized and praised by the industry and the audience.
From Concubine Li to Yang Guifei, Zhou Jie's superb acting skills have become more and more sophisticated and widely praised. Despite her achievements, just as her acting career was reaching its peak, the talented dancer and actress decided to retire from the entertainment industry, giving up all the accolades and applause to devote herself to dance education.
Looking back on the age of 7, Zhou Jie had a keen yearning for a professional dance school and was eager to learn this art in depth. Although her family background once prevented her from achieving her dreams, she never gave up because of it.
She practiced dance unswervingly and diligently every day, and her delicate body often fell ill due to high-intensity training, but every time, she always held on, quickly recovered, and continued to chase her inner ideals.
In this way, after nearly ten years, Zhou Jie has tempered extraordinary tenacity and perseverance. This firm belief finally blossomed when she was 12 years old, and she was fortunate to be admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, opening a new chapter in chasing her dance dream.
After stepping into this professional stage, it is like opening the door to Zhou Jie's inner potential, and her life has since entered a new track. In the new environment of the troupe, her talent has been fully explored and improved, and in just half a year, her acting ability is enough to take the lead role in the stage repertoire.
A few years later, with the successive release of popular classic works, such as "Banping Mountain" and "Fengming Qishan", Zhou Jie's unique dance talent was able to bloom.
On stage, she is like a dancing butterfly, elegant and charming; Offstage, she paid unimaginable hard work and sweat.
After all, hard work pays off! Relying on her outstanding talent and perseverance, Zhou Jie instantly emerged, and her peacock dance skills were on par with Yang Liping in the south of Caiyun, and were praised by people in the industry and won the reputation of "double walls in the dance world".
In just a few years, she has reached the pinnacle of art.
