In July 1991, her daughter Lulu was born, and Yang Lili had become the director of Jiangsu Television. Tao Zeru often shoots outside, and Yang Lili carries her daughter to work on her back.
The 12-square-meter room is both a bedroom, a kitchen, and a study, and a stir-fry oil smoke makes her daughter cry. So Yang Lili asked the workers to build a 5-square-meter small kitchen in the corner of the aisle.
Yang Lili not only has to go to work, but also takes care of her daughter and family, bearing a huge energy and physical load. In 1994, the Nanjing State Taxation Bureau intended to accept Tao Zeru and prepared to make him a deputy department-level cadre.

He guarded his mother in the ward for 4 days, and her mother remained unconscious. And the crew called several times a day, urging him to go over to shoot the scene. In this case, Tao Zeru had to rush back to Hubei. On that day, Tao Zeru had not yet arrived at the crew, and his mother left. Yang Lili did not inform her husband of the bad news, but sent her mother-in-law away with Tao Zeru's brother and sister.
As early as 1994, when Tao Zeru's father died, Tao Zeru was also shooting "Skynet" in other places, and his wife did not tell him. When his parents died, Tao Zeru was not around, which became his regret.

Many years later, the peers who bought the villa at that time, the villa appreciated to tens of millions, Tao Zeru asked his wife if she regretted it. Yang Lili said: "I don't regret it, living in a villa is not necessarily happy, I think it is very good to live in an ordinary building." ”
