In 2011, a 19-year-old female college student at the Chinese People's University was interviewed by reporters naked, saying: "I dare to look at you, do you dare to look at me?" How is she doing now?
This female college student is Su Zizi, her real name is Wang Yanyun, she has been following her grandparents since she was a child, and she was a typical rebellious girl in Su Zizi's middle school.
With poor academic performance, a strained relationship with her family, and frequent runaways, she seemed to be unable to find the direction of her life during this period, and her heart was full of confusion and anxiety. However, it was in this predicament that the seeds of art quietly germinated.
In high school, in order to be admitted to university, Su Zizi began to study art hard, and she invested a lot of time and energy to find herself in brushes and paints.
In 2009, Su Zizi got her wish and was admitted to the School of Art of Chinese University, an achievement that made her see her potential and made her look forward to the future.
However, the pressure of reality soon came. In order to pay for the high tuition and living expenses, Su Zizi had to look for a job.
By chance, Su Zizi became a body art model, and she gave herself the pseudonym "Su Zizi".
The name "Su Zizi" quickly became famous in the art world, with her beautiful body proportions and rich facial expressions, and more and more artists invited her to be a model, and her income also increased.
Finally, she no longer has to worry about tuition and living expenses, and she can even save some money.
In 2010, she held a solo art exhibition as "Su Zizi", which made her famous. However, the price of fame is enormous.
Controversy and criticism followed, and some praised her for her courage to break through tradition and show the beauty of the human body; Some people also criticized her for being immoral and sensational.
In the face of complicated evaluations, Wang Yanyun chose a bolder response. In 2011, she gave a nude interview, a move that caused an uproar in society.
The pressure of public opinion was like a monstrous wave, making her almost breathless. Eventually, she made the decision to drop out of school and leave her beloved campus temporarily.
After leaving the campus, Su Zizi's life entered a new stage. She has been married twice and has a daughter. However, neither marriage brought her true happiness.
In her first marriage, her husband saw her as a money-making tool and neglected her emotional needs. Although the second marriage was full of passion, the 20-year age gap eventually became an unbridgeable gap.
The failure of two marriages made her reflect deeply on her life, and also made her cherish the family relationship with her daughter even more.
In order to give her daughter a better growth environment, Wang Yanyun decided to let go of the identity of "Su Zizi" and no longer engage in mannequin work.
She changed her name back to Wang Yanyun, hoping to start over. This decision means that she wants to say goodbye to her past self, but it also represents her vision and anticipation for the future.
Looking back, Wang Yanyun's life is like a gorgeous and colorful picture. She has experienced rebellion, controversy, and marital failure, but she has never given up her pursuit of art.
The name "Su Zizi" has become a symbol of her inner alter self - the self who loves art, has the courage to express, and is not afraid of worldly eyes.
