During the continuous rehearsals and performances, the directing team, acting teachers, seniors, and colleagues all gave me a lot of guidance. I am constantly improving myself and letting myself go. I fit the character better, which makes the character more vivid. Sometimes after the performance, there will be audience members waiting outside to take photos with me. This moment makes me feel that if a character is well-shaped, it can bring joy to the audience and actors. It brings a good experience in itself, so it’s a two-way journey."
