"I must hear your answer!" Back then, an old man's words were like thunder, which completely changed the trajectory of Li Ruiying's life.
You must be familiar with her - a famous CCTV host, who has hosted "News Network" for many years, and is known as the "national face of CCTV". But back then, she was almost arranged by her family to work as a cashier in a bank. It was the old man who met unexpectedly that made her re-examine her dreams, and thus embarked on the legendary path of broadcasting and hosting.
An accidental chance changed Li Ruiying's life in this way. From an ordinary girl from a military family, to a well-known CCTV host, and now to her retirement life, Li Ruiying uses her life to interpret the weight of the words "big ups and downs".
"War" with family
Li Ruiying was born in Beijing in 1961, and her father was a soldier. Due to her family's modest wealth, she realized at a very young age that she needed to learn to be self-reliant.
No one expected that by chance, at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, she was pulled by her classmates to apply for the broadcasting department, and under the old man's order, she decided to engage in broadcasting and hosting careers.
Despite this, Li Ruiying still faces strong opposition from her parents. After all, in the general environment of the year, the profession of announcer was not decent. She had to "fight alone" and take the college entrance examination and interview alone.
In this way, in the opposition of her family, Li Ruiying came to Beijing Broadcasting Institute alone to study with her dream of broadcasting. She gave up all stable ways out in order to pursue her inner ideals.
After entering the school, Li Ruiying did not lose her goal, but devoted herself to her studies more diligently. She wakes up at 4 a.m. every day to memorize the dictionary and lines, followed by long vocal practice.
Even so, she was hit when she first entered the industry - some directors ridiculed her for her mediocre voice and no development prospects. But Li Ruiying gritted her teeth, worked harder to cultivate her skills, and finally graduated from Beiguang with excellent grades.
In 1983, Li Ruiying entered CCTV through assignment and started her career as a broadcaster and host. As a newcomer, of course, she encountered many setbacks and challenges: when she was speaking in the open air for a long time, her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak; During the live broadcast of major events, I was so nervous that I was trembling......
But she was able to deal with it calmly, gradually accumulated rich experience, and presided over many major events, such as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1990 Asian Games, the 1991 Spring Festival Gala, etc.
All this laid the foundation for her to shine on the stage of "News Network" in the future. In the end, years of perseverance finally paid off, and in 1996, Li Ruiying became the first female host of "News Network".
Work and family dilemmas
Li Ruiying and Zhang Yuyan, who have known each other since they were students, finally got married in 1987.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon after their marriage, the two fell into the dilemma of "separation between the two places": Li Ruiying worked in Beijing, while Zhang Yuyan worked in another city. During this period, Li Ruiying also had to take care of her elderly and frail in-laws, which was under a lot of pressure.
In this case, in 1992, Li Ruiying gave birth to a son. The new mother is busy with work and cannot give her child much time and energy, so she can only entrust him to the care of her in-laws.
When his son was 3 years old, something happened that Li Ruiying will remember for the rest of his life - he accidentally fell from a 3-story building and was seriously injured. At that time, Li Ruiying was recording "News Network", and after learning the bad news, she still insisted on hosting the whole process before rushing to the hospital.
Since then, she has carried a heavy psychological burden and felt guilty about her son. Until now, whenever she thinks of the scene of that day, Li Ruiying still tears up.
"The biggest regret of my life is that I didn't get to the hospital right away," she often says.
Work is of course important, but Li Ruiying's only son has suffered so much, and as a mother, she also suffers greatly.
However, fortunately, Li Ruiying has a husband who can give understanding and support. In the face of his wife's work pressure, Zhang Yuyan never complained, but did her best to share the housework so that her wife could concentrate on her career.
The relationship between the two is tenacious and romantic, just like the childhood sweethearts of the year, which has become a good story within CCTV. It is with the full support of her family that Li Ruiying can move forward in her career and eventually become the "national face of CCTV".
An ordinary and happy retirement
55-year-old Li Ruiying retired from hosting "News Network". In the years that followed, she devoted most of her energy to public welfare.
For example, she became the chairman of the Broadcasting Chair Committee of the China Federation of Radio and Television Social Organizations, raising funds for children in poor areas; She also often gives lectures at various universities, sharing her life experience and work experience with the younger generation without reservation.
Although the aura is still the same, Li Ruiying's retirement life has gradually returned to plain and simple. She and her husband Zhang Yuyan are in love with each other and enjoy the afterglow of the love of the century between the two. Now that her son has grown up, she is finally able to devote more energy to her family.
Now, her biggest wish is to be a qualified grandmother. Once her son gets married, she hopes that she can become a "rational and wise" grandmother, giving proper love and care, rather than over-doting.
Throughout Li Ruiying's life history, we have seen a woman's battle between career and family. However, it was this perseverance, courage and tenacity that allowed her to finally achieve a win-win situation of her ideal career and a happy family.
Looking back at life
Li Ruiying's life experience can be called an extraordinary legend. From an ordinary girl from a military family to a well-known CCTV host, she used her tenacity and hard work to write a touching dream-chasing epic.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Ruiying has had many twists and turns along the way. Initially, her dream of broadcasting was severely opposed by her parents and she had to leave home alone to study. Later, when she first entered the industry, she was also ridiculed for having no future, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.
But it was this persistence that made her finally appear on the stage of "News Network" and become the "national face of CCTV". She put in extraordinary effort at work, and when she was broadcast live on major programs, her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak.
What's even more touching is that in the year when her son was accidentally injured, despite her physical and mental exhaustion, she still chose to complete the live broadcast task that day. As a mother, she has been haunted by this for the rest of her life, and every time she thinks about it, it hurts.
However, it is this tenacious fighting spirit that has allowed her to achieve great success in her career. In family life, she also has the full support of an understanding and tolerant husband, and the two are very affectionate, which has become a good story within CCTV.
Now after retiring, Li Ruiying devotes most of her energy to public welfare, often giving charity speeches in various places. She hopes to share her rich life experience and work experience with the younger generation selflessly and contribute to the society.
At the same time, she also lived a long-awaited quiet life. and her husband are foaming at each other, enjoying the fragrance of the love of the century between the two. As a mother, she can finally devote more energy to her family and love her son.
More importantly, Li Ruiying hopes to become a "rational and wise" grandmother in the future. If her son gets married and has children, she will give just the right amount of love and care, rather than over-doting, so that future generations can grow up independently.
Li Ruiying used her life to interpret what perseverance is. Despite her fate, she never gave up her dreams and pursuits. What's even more commendable is that while she has a successful career, she also has a happy family life.
This unwavering commitment is the key to her extraordinary achievements. Today, she is using her experience and wisdom to influence more people and pass on this valuable quality to the next generation.
The wisdom of an ordinary girl's life is enough to reflect the extraordinary and preciousness of life. Li Ruiying used her own story to interpret this point, which allowed us to benefit a lot while reading the legend.
