Amy (left) and Shea (right) in The Big Bang Theory
For friends who have watched the American drama "The Big Bang Theory", they must remember this strong, dark-skinned, old-fashioned character - Shea's girlfriend Amy.
However, in reality, she is actually very beautiful.
▲Is this really the same person as above?
Mayim Bialik, a child star who debuted in the United States at the age of 14, has been nominated for the "Oscar" of television four times - "Emmy Award".
But more importantly, she has a beautiful, kind, persevering, and brave heart.
Even if you haven't seen The Big Bang Theory and heard of her, I'm sure you'll be moved by her beautiful qualities after watching her story.
To stop feeling guilty
I chose not to eat them anymore
▲ Bailik was interviewed by PETA
In 1994, 19-year-old Bailik officially announced in front of his family that he would no longer eat animals. The reason is that she loves animals, and eating them fills her with guilt.
As she expected, her parents were very angry, after all, in that era, no one had ever heard of restricting their diet in such a way.
What do you eat without eating animals? Her family couldn't understand it, and was always annoyed that she had to prepare other food because of her strange insistence.
Of course, Bailik himself did not know what to replace, and could only eat more salads, pasta, French fries and other foods.
Over time, she learned more about vegetarianism and, in 2005, completely abandoned custard.
Jonathan Safran Verre's book Eating Animals cemented her choice.
It turns out that every piece of meat on our plate comes from innocent lives, abused, slit, and brutally killed in industrial farms, all of which are isolated from our urban life.
It turns out that animal husbandry has such a serious harm to the environment, it turns out that we do not have to eat meat, vegetarian food is a more friendly way to the environment and health.
Byrik himself also knows that after quitting dairy products, he never took antibiotics again, and his perennial onset of sinusitis and seasonal allergies improved a lot.
But for Byrik, "there is no longer a sense of guilt about eating, dressing, and entertaining animals," and that's the most important thing.
She loves vegetarian food because vegetarian food gives her peace of mind.
He became famous at a young age
Retreat at your peak
In Bailik's bones, she is probably born with the persistence to go the usual way, and it is precisely because of this persistence that her life will be different.
In the winter of 1975, Byrik was born in San Diego, California, to a mother who was the principal of a nursery school and a high school comedy teacher to a father.
Xu was influenced by her father,and she showed a talent for acting from an early age. As a result, her mother encouraged her to embark on the road of acting, and actively contacted major agencies, becoming an important figure in Byrik's path to acting.
At the age of 11, she officially debuted, although at first she only played some inconspicuous small supporting roles, but with her own talent and efforts, she got the opportunity to star in the MV of the song of The King of Pop Michael Jackson, and was more well known for starring in the sitcom "Blossom".
She was 15 years old.
But she did not give up her studies, and acted while studying in high school. When her peers were in school, she was filming outside; when her classmates fell asleep after a day of study, she had just begun to pick up books to study.
And all because she has another dream in her heart.
But surprisingly, the person who sowed the seeds of this dream was her biology tutor in high school.
The teacher told her that in fact, it is not only men who are suitable for scientists, but women who are only suitable for housewives, these are just stereotypes of social shaping, and women can become scientists.
Bailik was inspired, she wanted to be a scientist, she was convinced that she could be a scientist.
In 1995, He graduated from High School and received offers from harvard and Yale at several ivy league schools.
But she chose UCLA on the grounds that the university was closer to her family.
At this time, her acting career was at its peak, but she chose to retire temporarily and focus on her studies.
After receiving three bachelor's degrees in Hebrew, his studies and neuroscience, she chose to pursue further studies in neurology, studying a rare disease, fabble willi disease, and in 2007, she received her Doctorate.
Some people say that her life is open like this because she is beyond the talent and INTELLIGENCE of ordinary people.
But it's not that simple.
"In college, 75 to 80 percent of the people in our class were very talented, and I had to study hard, I didn't have a social life, and I even had mononucleosis because I was only looking at learning. I rarely take breaks, but I only got c+ in organic chemistry because I couldn't get into medical school and I cried every night. ”
In a television interview, she described her studies in college.
Where there are 100% geniuses, they just give more.
She was dazzling
She's also ordinary
During college, Byrik met her other half, and she had two other identities— wife and mother.
They married in 2003, became pregnant and had children in 2005, and in 2008, their second child was born.
Because they are vegetarians, the two babies are of course vegetarian babies, and under her care, they grow rapidly, healthy and happy.
In order for them to better understand and accept vegetarian food, she will take them on a tour of the rescue farm and tell them about the animals' past experiences, so that they understand that animals, like people, have sensitive perceptions and abundant emotions, and are not anyone's food and appendages.
Byrik is also an advocate of intimate parenting.
In 2009, in order to have more free time to accompany her children, she suspended her scientific research work and chose to return to the show business circle with more flexible time.
It was also at this time that she was given the opportunity to star in "The Big Bang Theory" by chance, and created the classic role - neuroscientist Amy (the only real scientist in the play), and was nominated for the "Emmy Award" for Best Supporting Actress.
No matter how busy she is at work or school, she insists on keeping her children with her, and she firmly believes that babies who grow up in such an environment will have a healthier mind.
Seemingly happy and enviable life, there has been an unexpected turn for everyone.
In August 2012, the white Volvo sedan she was driving collided with a car carrying Chilean tourists at an intersection on Hollywood Boulevard, seriously injuring her right hand.
In November of the same year, she and her husband ended their nearly 10-year marriage and decided to take on the responsibility of raising two children alone.
But in the face of this, she never seems to have fear, but transformed into Superman.
She always has a confident smile on her face in the face of the outside world; when she is encountered by passers-by, even if she is tired, she can always respond politely; when she is attacked for her remarks on the Internet, her responses are always full of gentleness.
The world kissed me with pain, but I sang in return.
Acting, making magazines, taking care of children, dealing with all sorts of chores of life, and that's not all of Byrick's life.
She used her spare time to study humanities and received her Ph.D. in humanities from Boston University in 2014.
She also wrote a book based on her parenting concepts, "Beyond the Sling", and published a vegan recipe, and also studied Chinese cuisine.
In addition, she has never forgotten her identity as a scientist. She serves as a spokesperson for the Texas Institute and works to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) projects.
She has always understood that as a woman, she has a responsibility and obligation to establish a positive image of a woman in the scientific community.
The dazzling star in the spotlight, the scientific research bully in academia, the ordinary mother in life, no matter which role, Bailik has a good grasp.
Beauty and talent coexist, strong and soft symbiosis, so she is really cool.
Under the polishing of time, she is becoming more and more dazzling, charming, and infinitely precious.
