Writer Wang Anyi said in the book "Shanghai Women" that women are the best representatives of Shanghai. From "worshipping famous brands" to "highlighting oneself", from "others like" to "appreciating oneself", from hoping to be "pleased" to caring for "oneself", Shanghai women highlight the self-esteem and personality of contemporary Chinese women, and the spiritual outlook of self-confidence and independence.
On the afternoon of September 19th, the 6th Women's Reading Forum "My Initial Heart My Dream" - jointly sponsored by Shanghai Women's Federation and Xinmin Weekly Agency - celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China and the book launch of "Footprints of the Goddess" opened in Wenzhi Hall of Jiaotong University.

Fang Yafen
Fang Yafen is the leader of the Shanghai Yue Opera Troupe, a national first-class actor, and the winner of the Magnolia Award and the Plum Blossom Award. Fang Yafen studied under the Yue opera master Yuan Xuefen and is regarded as the best heir of the Yue opera Yuan school. Her appearance is clear, graceful and generous; her talent is good, sweet and bright, not only has the charm of Yuan Pai's singing voice, but also forms her own unique style. Fang Yafen has a wide opera path and excellent singing and composition, and fans call her "Queen Fang", and in "Dream of the Red Chamber", one person plays several roles, and no one can surpass it so far.
Fang Yafen jokingly called himself a very "two" person. Not only was she born in February, but the word "Ya" in her name also means a second, and my parents wanted to be able to pamper this little girl forever. Fang Yafen has "never had two hearts" for the drama career she is engaged in.
In her more than 30 years of drama career, Fang Yafen has not only inherited traditional drama, but also broken boundaries, learned and interpreted Peking Opera, Kunqu opera and drama across borders, and created a completely different stage image. In addition, when the Yue Opera Troupe was facing many difficulties, Fang Yafen put down herself, gave up her honor, and had the courage to serve as the leader of the Yue Opera Troupe, starting an extraordinary course of 8 years of "War of Resistance". From excellent Yue opera actors to excellent troupe managers, Fang Yafen has written wonderful roles on different stages.
Tao Luna
Tao Luna is a famous sports athlete and 2000 Sydney Olympic shooting champion. After retiring from the military, he entered the sports management work, became the deputy director of the Shanghai Shooting and Archery Sports Center, and is now the general secretary of the party branch of the Shanghai Cycling Fencing Sports Center. From the arena to the backstage, Tao Luna generously shared several stories of her "failure" in the pulpit.
In 1999, as an athlete of the Chinese women's shooting team, Tao Luna, who was the first in the qualification competition and aspired to win, unexpectedly only won the second place in the women's air pistol in the World Cup shooting competition. After winning her first Olympic gold in 2000, Tao Luna finished second in the 25-meter sport pistol. This result made Tao Luna very dissatisfied, because during the qualification round she set herself the goal of breaking the Olympic record, but because she thought too much, did not complete the goal, and in the final because of the interference of a small bird and planted a big heel on the project she was best at, Tao Luna realized that "the grasping process is more important than the imagined result, the shooting competition is not until the last moment, no one knows who the champion will be." Every shot needs to be done with full concentration, and if you think too much, you will lose too much."
From an athlete to a sports manager, Tao Luna has also repeatedly experienced the compulsory course of "failure". The first time I wrote a speech to the leader, only "Comrades, hello everyone" was retained; the first time I pulled sponsorship, the 50,000 yuan was also ruthlessly rejected... Countless failures made Tao Luna realize that the real harvest brought to her by sports was not the gold medal, but the courage and determination to go forward. "Only by grasping the process can we finally win the result."
Wang lin
Wang Lin is known for creating characters with different personalities, from Zhang Yuemei in "Love Full of Pearl River" to Aunt Xue in "Love Deeply Rainy", to Xu Liran in "Laughing and Living", Wang Lin has brought one classic screen image after another. More than ten years of acting career has honed her acting skills more and more exquisitely.
Wang Lin recalled the experience of the first "electric shock". At the age of 17, Wang Lin, as a dragon set actor in the movie "Empire of the Sun" directed by the big director Spielberg, ran for three days as a fleeing crowd on the Bund, truly realized what is called "running dragon set", and got his first reward as an actor: 33 yuan.
After that, Wang Lin ignited her enthusiasm for acting, was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, and went to the former Soviet Union as an outstanding student to learn the Stanislav performance system. However, the teacher always felt that her eyes were too clear, lacked turbidity, and could not be an actor. When she was 30 years old, she played the role of Aunt Xue in "Deep Rain and Misty Love", which once made Wang Lin very depressed. She wanted to play a younger role, but was told by the director that she looked very old and had a cloudiness in her eyes, so Wang Lin reluctantly crossed the professional adolescence and directly entered middle age.
Acting is a passive profession and many times there isn't much room for choice. The huge success of Aunt Xue's role made her a "bad woman" professional. A mahjong scene of only 3 or 4 minutes in "Color Ring" was filmed for 3 full days, and she discovered director Ang Lee's extreme respect for the actor's desire to create. But there are not too many such experiences. Even if the last reality show, playing herself, was cut by the program team into a "bad middle-aged woman who does not know how to respect others".
Taking care of her son and family for many years, Wang Lin gave up too many important roles. When an actress has disappeared in front of the camera, the opportunities that can be obtained are certainly very few, even if even the role of the mother may not be obtained, but Wang Lin does not want to give up, she firmly said, "We must turn passive into active, confidently meet every tomorrow."
Shi Yihong
Shi Yihong is a national first-class actor and vice chairman of the Shanghai Dramatists Association. Shi Yihong was founded by Wudan Kaimeng, and later immersed himself in the study of Meipai art founded by the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, participated in the creation of a number of new Peking Opera repertoire, and became a new generation of Peking Opera actors who were good at both culture and martial arts, had a distinct style, and had the characteristics of the times. She has created a large number of new plays, so that her performance breaks through the limitations of the traditional Peking Opera industry, with a bright rhythm, a close combination of singing and performance, a distinctive character of the era, and the courage to explore.
She sings well and is good at both culture and martial arts. The appearance is handsome and beautiful, the voice is wide and beautiful, the workmanship is delicate and calm, the typhoon is dignified and generous, quite a person's style; the martial arts are solid and steady, the shot is fast and calm, and it has the reputation of "color whirlwind", which can be called the best among today's young Peking Opera performing talents.
Shi Yihong said that the original intention of congyi is to "win glory for the country and serve the people." At the age of 22, he won the Drama Plum Blossom Award, which made Shi Yihong feel confused. She felt that she still had so many deficiencies. Because the wait was too painful, in 2005, Shi Yihong became a cultural company and took the initiative to arrange new plays. In 2019, the new drama "New Dragon Gate Inn" was launched, which caused a sensation in the industry. Critics said they were delighted to see the emergence of feminism in Peking Opera for the first time. Such high praise made Shi Yihong firm in his determination and confidence in promoting Peking Opera. "We should rehearse more feminist dramas."
He Xiaoling
He Xiaoling is the manager of the maintenance business department of Shanghai Tunnel Foundation Company of Tunnel Co., Ltd. and a representative of the 19th National Congress. She is responsible for ensuring the safety of urban infrastructure and subway tunnel operations. As the only woman on the team, for more than 20 years she has insisted on walking the team through more than 200 kilometers of tunnels on four lines in Shanghai after the subway was shut down every night. She pioneered the micro-disturbance method, gave a Chinese solution to the "worldwide" problem of tunnel settlement and convergence, and contributed to the construction of "five centers" in Shanghai and the launch of "four major brands".
Nowadays, the passenger flow of the whole network of Shanghai Metro is close to 4 billion passengers per year, and the average daily passenger flow exceeds 10 million passengers, which is a shocking huge data, which also means that the Shanghai Metro is facing huge operational pressure, which comes from the pressure of passenger service and the pressure of logistics maintenance - the tunnels, facilities and equipment of the whole network subway are running at high load every day, and once the failure causes the subway to stop operation, it affects the normal travel of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
As an expert in the remediation of "cardiovascular diseases" in Shanghai, He Xiaoling's job is to run through the arteries and blood vessels under the city - tunnels, do "surgical operations" for subway tunnels, solve the structural "stubborn diseases" of subway tunnels, and ensure the safety of subway operations.
He Xiaoling said, "We always go out day and night, and every day after the subway stops, it is when our work begins." For the routine maintenance of the subway, our work starts from the inspection, I always think that to understand the tunnel, you have to walk on your feet, and every section and station must be seen, so that each section and station have any defects, and there will be water leakage. For more than ten years in the industry, I can't remember how many pairs of shoes I broke, but the inspection light in my hand was of good quality and has been with me. The tunnel is not like us in the subway car, the inside is dim, the oxygen content is low, and it is stuffy and hot, the feet and sides are covered with tracks, sleepers, various sensors, measuring points, cables and signs and other facilities and equipment, walking to stumble, but also pay attention to protection and avoidance equipment, but also to carefully observe the full section of whether there is leakage, structural damage and other diseases, very difficult, sometimes a night to walk 7, 8 kilometers, while walking, while checking, while recording, endurance and patience are a test. Not to mention that we still have to carry a large amount of equipment and materials into the maintenance construction in just a few hours after the subway is out of service, and after the construction is completed, we must finish the material and not even drop a screw. ”
Many people feel that women are not suitable for the tunnel maintenance industry. But He Xiaoling didn't believe it, why did she have to let her eyebrows be raised! Over time, He Xiaoling got to know a group of cute and respectable colleagues and migrant workers, and also learned that the Shanghai subway tunnel is too fragile, and there are too few experts in the field of tunnel maintenance "doctors", since there are always people to do, then there is no need to escape. "Even if the strength of the individual is limited, I am willing to be the one who carries the burden forward."
Tunnel maintenance work is boring and monotonous, but it also requires care and patience, and any omission or mistake may affect the operation of the subway. "5 + 2" and "white + black" are their norms, and they shuttle through various tunnels of the Shanghai Metro for 365 days and nights throughout the year to carry out various types of tunnel remediation construction. In addition to the maintenance and maintenance of subway tunnels, they are also responsible for the emergency rescue of major project construction. Over the past ten years, He Xiaoling's team has completed more than 200 emergency rescue missions.
Emergency rescue is no holiday, even if the Spring Festival also to leave a group of people on duty, for many years, every year the Chinese New Year's Eve is He Xiaoling with her son, husband and migrant worker brothers to watch the party, make dumplings, eat Chinese New Year's Eve meals. He Xiaoling's husband is also a tunnel person, and when she encounters emergencies, she is often in the tunnel, her husband is on the ground, and she cooperates with the rescue inside and outside. For her son, she always felt that she owed too much, but it was with the support of her family that she was relieved of her worries and devoted herself to the cause of tunnel maintenance.
"A livable city must be safe", He Xiaoling said, a sense of security is the bottom line of sense of gain and happiness, and she has always been committed to ensuring the safety of urban rail transit. "The tunnel maintenance industry has developed from scratch so far, has experienced too many setbacks and tribulations, and today's tunnel maintenance industry is booming, towards more professional, more scientific and more efficient." For me, to ensure the operational safety of the city subway is my mission and responsibility, I also firmly believe that I and my team will do better and better, after the return of the Nineteenth National Congress, I have been promoting our industry, I hope that under my influence more and more people can join the maintenance industry, together to ensure the safety of urban rail transit and urban construction, I have always been willing to be an 'underground worker' for a lifetime, to be a 'specialist' in the urban subway tunnel. ”
