This is the 4087th real-life story we tell
Being close to many celebrities was once my daily routine:
Sometimes due to work reasons, I would meet more than 30 celebrities in a day, like a revolving door.
cooperated with half of the entertainment industry stars, allowing me to see the A and B sides of each of them. Different from the glamor in front of the stage, behind the scenes, there are unknown details and reality...
My name is Xinyi, from Zhanjiang, Guangdong, born in the 1970s. I have multiple slash roles: radio host, commercial dubbing, dubbing director, singer, actor, language tutor, language performance examiner...but there is only one I love most.
(I am Xinyi, a 20-year veteran provincial TV host)
My father is from Guangdong and my mother is from Xi'an. I lived in Xi'an before I was 7 years old, and returned to Zhanjiang when I was 8 years old, forming my basic language system of northern and southern languages.
's father is a well-known attending physician of traditional Chinese medicine, and his mother is a medical staff member of the Health Bureau. Although my family has instilled in me the idea of doing medicine since I was a child, I never thought about becoming a doctor.
Rather than playing house with a stethoscope, I prefer watching shows where Sister Ju Ping dubs cartoon characters. It's really cool to hold a microphone, watch cartoons every day, and then make money. I will also engage in such a job in the future.
After hearing my idea, my family members expressed their opposition, and my mother was the only one who supported me. In her opinion, life is about doing what you like.
My mother said this to me: "As long as you want to do it, you can succeed in anything you do." She not only encouraged me verbally, but also enrolled me in a class to learn broadcasting and hosting. At that time, the monthly family income was less than 800 yuan, and a private lesson cost 300 yuan.
I am grateful to my mother who has structure and foresight, and has given me the confidence that I can do what I want to do.
(Me when I was on the Guangdong Radio Sound of Music)
I spent several months talking about Cantonese. From being confused about "bui" for "cup" and "caang" for orange, I can now chat with my classmates from Guangdong who speak very fast without getting stuck.
is quite clever in language, but is confused in homework.
I barely made it to junior high school with a score of 60+ in Chinese and Mathematics, and was in the worst class in the grade.
In a learning environment where students gather and lie flat, I have the ideal of being a host but I don’t know where to go. It wasn’t until the second grade of junior high school that I met Teacher Cai Shuncai. She was like a beam of light, pointing out the way for me.
Teacher Cai teaches us English. She has been to many countries. At that time, very few people could go abroad. She often shares interesting experiences from abroad with us in class.
Before get out of class was over one day, she said something to the whole class. I still remember every word clearly:
"The world outside is very big. You must be admitted to high school. Only by being admitted to high school can you have a chance to pass the exam." University. You must get into a good university, learn English well, and see the outside world. I know your basic skills are poor. You can come to me and ask any questions after class. I won’t think your questions are too simple. Just come and ask. I can teach. "
(Me when I was at Guangzhou Radio)
After class, there were only three students asking the teacher questions, and I was one of them.
A boy asked whether there are 24 or 26 English letters; I asked about the difference between adding s and adding es to plural nouns.
Teacher Cai listened to these simple questions very seriously, as if we were asking very important questions.
She walked out of the classroom with chalk, wrote 26 letters on the floor in the corridor, listed words with s and es, and talked about interesting and easy-to-remember points.
At that moment, I heard a "dinging" sound in my heart, the door of knowledge opened to me, and tears blurred my eyes.
The picture in front of me has warmed me forever: in the long and narrow corridor, Teacher Cai's gentle voice echoed, and the chalk rustled on the ground. The winter sun shines through the treetops and over the railings, casting rays of golden light on her bent back...
Later, in the class of 50 people, only three of us students who asked questions were admitted to high school.The first watershed in our lives begins here.
Later, all three of us were admitted to college. Ask the boy with 26 letters, who is now an executive in large-scale municipal construction in a first-tier city. I asked about plural nouns. I entered key classes in high school. After graduating from college, I became a host and traveled to 28 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.
(Me in the interview)
I was admitted to the Broadcasting and Hosting Major of Guangdong Radio and Television University in 1992.
Before that year, the broadcasting and hosting major had been closed for many years. After that year, the major was no longer recruited for many years. This is the secret arrangement. When you want to do something, the whole world will make way for you.
The three years in college have greatly improved my professional drive.
I sang at 5:30 every morning, which inspired the whole class to get up early. In order to practice breathing, I carried a bucket full of hot water to the dormitory on the 8th floor in one go every evening.
In order to interpret Helen Keller's graduation work "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", I wrote thousands of words and took a lot of notes just to analyze this article. I read it so well that every piece of paper was furred. I also covered my eyes with a scarf and experienced the life of a blind person for three days.
I finally understood what real broadcasting is, and I really understood it from then on.
I graduated with the top grade in my major and was assigned to Zhanjiang Radio Station as a program host, where I began to interview celebrities in the entertainment industry.
(Served as a guest on Southern TV)
At that time, I interviewed the popular Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, the newly famous Zhou Xun, the young Pu Shu...
I also gradually developed a lively and lively hosting style, and gained many fans. His love has become the "popularity" of this small town.
receives sack after sack of letters from listeners every day, and has his own fan club and club. I was in my prime, and my career was going smoothly.
In 2000, I hosted a New Year's Eve fireworks party at the beach. The Black Panthers were invited. Many enthusiastic fans flocked to the party, with more than 70,000 people at the scene.
Such a large-scale concert must not only ignite the enthusiasm of the audience, but also control the rhythm without chaos, which is a great test of the hosting skills. And I did it perfectly.
Standing on the high stage, I watched the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, exploding and disappearing in just a few seconds.
No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they cannot bloom forever. I began to think deeply about what kind of host I wanted to be.
I can’t wear braids and cool makeup forever. Chasing fame and fortune is not my goal. I want to look for more possibilities in life, to absorb new nutrients, and to find what I am most passionate about and good at in this life.
(Interview with Eason Chan, who was wearing sunglasses because he had dark circles under his eyes due to rushing for notices for days)
Not long after, I was admitted to the vocal music major of Xinghai Conservatory of Music with the first place in the cultural class and the last place in the professional class.
I am grateful to the principal who has an open-minded academic philosophy, because these two "firsts" were the first to admit me. The reason for admission is: "We have to choose a class that is good at cultural classes. If you are not good at professional classes, you can learn slowly."
Don't look at me hosting a set, but singing every song is out of tune. I applied for it on the spur of the moment, with the intention of challenging myself, and I applied with my vocal colleagues. Unexpectedly, I passed the exam, but my colleague didn't.
Many things in the world always change us in this way.
When I came to Guangzhou, I quickly faced the dilemma of being short of money financially and lacking meat in life.
For a local station host like me, my monthly salary at that time was about 1,200 yuan. I rented a house between the college and Guangzhou TV station, taking into account the distance between both sides because I was sure that I would definitely return to the hosting industry.
After paying tuition, three months' rent and deposit, all my savings were wiped out, leaving only 900 yuan in my pocket.
(In 2004, I went to the Communication University of China for further studies and graduated with a bachelor's degree. Me is the third from the left.)
In order to save money, I bought discounted bread when the bakery was about to close and ate it with different flavors of jam every day.
After eating bread for more than a month, I sent a "help" message to my friends in Guangzhou: If you have any hosting or dubbing work, you can come to me. If you don't want to introduce me, you can treat me to morning tea. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. After
messages were sent in batches, only one person responded to me. His name is Zihui, and he is another noble person in my life.
I served as the host at an event in their company, and I only met him once. After receiving the message that I looked poor and funny, he chose to believe me and reached out to me.
On Sunday, he invited me to have morning tea, and the gears of fate began to turn.
I gnawed on the ribs and chicken feet, and asked him to call my work for me. It turned out that the person he contacted was no ordinary person. He was Roger, the most popular host in Guangzhou at the time. His "Radio That Can't Be Turned Off" was extremely popular.
took the mobile phone handed over by Zihui, and I introduced myself beautifully to Roger for 60 seconds.
The next day, I went to fm1061 to audition. On the third day, I received the recruitment notice and officially started my hosting career at Guangzhou Radio.
(Interview with Ms. Mao Jingqiu, Consul General of China in Munich, Germany)
Based on my voice and image, Roger designed a program about gender emotions called "Informed Knowledge". With my smart and generous hosting style, the show became a hit overnight.
html More than 0 print media interviewed me, and two authoritative media, "Yangcheng Evening News" and "Southern Metropolis Daily" published interviews with me on the same day.Moreover, more and more provincial and municipal programs have invited me, but I declined them all.
I don’t want to do only emotional programs for the rest of my life. Because once it is characterized, it is not far from the ceiling. I want to break out of the circle and not be framed.
After I came into contact with dubbing by chance, I started to delve deeper into this field.
When I first arrived in Guangzhou and became a poor student, I started by dubbing for 50 cents.
I have recorded the dubbing of various button prompts for 10086 "M-Zone", a 20 cm thick stack of text prompts, with nearly 20 text prompts per sheet; I have also recorded the dubbing of Coca-Cola employees' production operation step instructions, which are densely packed and as thick as a large book. dictionary. Of course, this requires signing a confidentiality agreement.
Although the content is boring and the recording is dry, I don’t feel bitter at all, because after recording, I will get thousands of dollars, which is enough to pay the rent and buy meat.
(I played the real role as the host in the movie "The Era of Derailment" directed by Lu Chuan. The handsome guy on the left is Kenji Wu)
Not long after, I finally got an invitation to dub for an advertisement. Starting from my debut film "Emergency Syrup", I received more and more advertising invitations. "Why are you chasing me..." This classic advertisement has been heard by at least 100 million people across the country for 10 years after turning on the TV.
I have probably dubbed hundreds of voices for many classic and silly advertisements.
Maybe you don’t remember the advertisements done by a certain product, but you must remember McDonald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut, “Black Girl Toothpaste”, “Tiandi No. 1”, “Haodi is really good”, “Sophie sanitary napkins” and so on. The commercials have my voice in them.
I participated in the dubbing of the first and second parts of the popular cartoon "Dragon Fighter" on CCTV Children's Channel, and also served as the dubbing director in one of them.
At that time, my advertising dubbing salary was 900 yuan for 15 seconds.
My daughter grew up under the influence of me in the recording studio. She had her first dubbing work at the age of 4. This is not because of me or taking any shortcuts.
The advertiser is a well-known milk powder brand and has strict and careful standards for dubbing. At that time, I sent five children’s dubbings to hundreds of mothers for review and selection, and finally my daughter’s was chosen. Through this short commercial, she earned herself money for milk powder.
(My daughter grew up under the influence of recording studios)
My students have also participated in the dubbing of many well-known commercials. Including Little Genius Phone Watch, Backgammon Learning Machine, Chimelong Happy World, etc.
Nowadays, I am also continuing to create dubbing. A few months ago, I even produced a toy advertisement for Guessing Blind Box. Have you heard of it?
If dubbing work is the interesting behind the scenes, then entertainment hosting is the interesting front. As an entertainment host,
has to deal with countless celebrities.
Because of the close distance, I saw another side of the star. People who are gentle in front of the stage are violent in private; people who are strong in front of the stage are fragile in private; there are also people who look cold in front of the stage but are very warm in private.
I once interviewed a female celebrity named h. We often see her sassy and cool "female King Kong" image, but that time I saw her almost paralyzed from exhaustion due to the wheel battle interview, and she threw a cup in the hotel room to vent her emotions. When I turned around to face the camera, I was immediately in high spirits again, which surprised and moved me. The time
interviewed Leo Ku left a particularly deep impression on me. At that time, he had just finished acting in "Love in the Rain" and the sequel to "My Fair Princess". The station received news that he was coming to Guangzhou to shoot a sneaker commercial, so they hurriedly sent me to conduct an interview.
(Interview with the warm-hearted Ku Juji)
Due to the intensive workload, my interview outline was not prepared in detail enough and I did not memorize it very well. When asking a question, I confused his role with Su Youpeng's.
Ku Juji first gently patted my shoulder, and then whispered in my ear: "You said it wrong, it's Su Youpeng. Remember to cut it off later, otherwise the boss will criticize you." As a popular star, not only He was not angry, but he also thoughtfully considered others from their perspective. While I was moved, I also secretly told myself to practice these good qualities.
In 2010, I was invited by Jiajia Cartoon TV to dub the TV station’s cartoon host Kubi.
I not only finished dubbing the voice, but also tried to figure out how to give this cute little cartoon more personality so that more people would remember it. I revised the manuscript again and again every time, and actively came up with ideas, hoping that this young team could make the program better.
Once, I got Andy Lau’s exclusive ID for this young TV station.
(In 2010, I hosted the New Year Carnival with cartoon host Kubi)
At the launch ceremony of "Future Police" starring Andy Lau and Xu Jiao, many entertainment hosts and reporters flocked to the event.
At a new film conference like this, the main creative staff usually take turns speaking a few words on stage, then take a few photos and leave. The process of
is very fast. If you want to interview Andy Lau alone and ask him to say a few words to his own media, it is an impossible task.
But the solution can be figured out. I learned through the "grapevine" that Mrs. Andy Lau was preparing for pregnancy. Children's Day was coming soon. As an expectant father, his mood must be different from usual.
So, I prepared a large teleprompter board and wrote a line of words on it. Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind.
At the scene that day, the director, Andy Lau, Xu Jiao and other creative staff completed the event process very quickly. Seeing Andy Lau walking out surrounded by many bodyguards, reporters rushed forward, but the bodyguards stopped them when they reached for microphones and cameras.
I stood in the crowd and shouted at a loud voice: "Mr. Andy Lau, it's Children's Day soon. Can you say a word to the children?" When Andy Lau heard it, he stopped, pointed at me and said : "Just record it for her."
(I recorded Andy Lau's exclusive ID. In order to complete the work, I gave up taking a photo with him)
I swished and raised the written prompter high, and Andy Lau showed his sign. Smiling, he read out: "I am Andy Lau. I wish all children across the country a happy holiday! Welcome to Jiajia Cartoon TV!"
Everyone present was stunned, looking to see who was so lucky to be the only one named, The precious ID was also recorded.
Unfortunately I can’t share it with them because most of them are in the entertainment section.
colleagues are very excited. As a young satellite TV program, being able to record such an important ID is very helpful in expanding its popularity and influence.
What’s funny is that after interviewing Andy Lau, my photographer colleagues stood up and waited for me to come up and take a photo with him, but I quickly put away my signboard and ran off to interview Xu Jiao, leaving the photographer in a mess in the wind.
For me, it is not important to take pictures with celebrities, it is more important to complete the work.
For example, when I was selected as Tony Leung’s pronunciation instructor for a commercial film, others saw that I earned 8,000 yuan an hour and was famous as an actor, but I valued the accumulation of experience in participating in the recording process of top commercials. The
advertisement was shot in a huge studio like a large factory in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The "little dark room" in the middle was where the advertisement was shot.
(I am Tony Leung’s Zhengyin teacher)
Tony Leung, dressed in white, walked in surrounded by a large group of people. Looking at his spring-like smile, all of us seemed to be frozen. Before we could recover, he had already greeted us all the way and entered the recording studio.
He half-bent to shake my hand, looked at me with charming electric eyes, and said gently: "You are my teacher today. I will do whatever you say. I will listen to you, please."
Mine It’s a lie to feel not nervous or anxious. You know, Tony Leung's schedule is very full. After this recording, he will immediately rush to the next work place. If I don't get the correct pronunciation right, it will waste time, and it will be very troublesome to make up for the recording.
I worked hard and with my keen ears, I quickly diagnosed some of his deep-rooted pronunciation problems, corrected them syllable by syllable, and successfully completed the recording. Tony Leung himself was very satisfied and happy with the final recording effect.
I am also very happy. However, rather than helping celebrities correct their voices, helping ordinary people change and carve out "good voices" gives me a stronger sense of accomplishment.
(I took an employment guide class at Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, using the title of a book by Yu Minhong "May Your Youth Live Up to Your Dreams" as the theme)
Since graduating from university, I have been serving as a language tutor for 30 years. Extensive practice in dubbing has trained my highly sensitive "old Chinese medicine" ears.
Dale Carnegie once said: "A person's success depends 15% on technical knowledge and 85% on the art of eloquence." However, I found that many people do not know where their language problems lie.
A big blogger with millions of fans, he was afraid of appearing on camera and only did hand broadcasting. I helped her find the core issues with her voice and performance in front of the camera. Now she has broken through herself and can appear on camera with confidence.
A noodle shop owner who has been immersed in the business circle for decades has missed many opportunities for business cooperation because of his poor expression. I coached her to present herself in clear and concise business language, and now she has started multiple collaborations.
From these adults, I suddenly discovered that language expression is an ability that should be grasped from childhood and benefited until old age. No matter how many hobbies you learn for your children, it is not as good as practicing language expression.
(I serve as an examiner in language examinations)
has a little girl who has been following me since she was 4 years old. From g to h, he ran and jumped around the classroom, and later became one of the "Top Ten Little Mayors of Yangcheng" who spoke eloquently and wisely.
There is also a girl in fifth grade. Her parents also signed her up to participate in the "Yangcheng Little Mayor" competition and asked me to "train" her.
At first she didn't believe that she was a "little mayor" at all, so I decided not to talk professionally but to tell stories first.
I told her the story of Teacher Cai, the stories of inspirational entrepreneurs and celebrities I had interviewed, and the stories of unyielding ordinary people.
After she gradually opened her heart, I began to provide professional guidance. During the training process, she had flinched and thought about giving up, and I helped her out time and time again.
(In March 2024, as a special host, she successfully hosted an industry salon)
In the assessment of 650,000 students in Guangzhou, she passed all the tests and entered the top 20, top 10, top 3, and entered finals.In the end, she was elected as one of the "Top Ten Little Mayors" and received the Special Performance Award. The mayor of Guangzhou personally presented the award to her.
Later, this child, who was originally unconfident, started to have bad grades. He got full marks in essays and won many awards in speech contests. He has also set a lofty ambition: to become a useful person to society like Zhong Nanshan and study the most difficult cell arrangement topic.
Now, she is a senior in high school. I will always cheer for her. When she realizes her ideal in the near future, I will applaud her and be proud of her.
From the moment my life was enlightened by Teacher Cai when I was in the second year of junior high school, I wanted to be like her. I want to say to Teacher Cai that you raised me from a "worm" to a "dragon". Now, like you, I don't dislike any child and firmly believe that every child has the potential to become a "dragon".
This girl later wrote me a long thank you letter, which I have kept. I am very pleased, this is the essence of education, this is the true meaning of a tree shaking a tree.
(Being called "teacher", I want to be a teacher all my life)
When I was young, I once wrote a life list in my diary:
"Have a job that I love, my own house, a car, and a child. , make a movie, record a CD, get a diving certificate, drink coffee next to the Eiffel Tower, read Notre Dame de Paris in Victor Hugo's book..."
Those seemingly unattainable wishes were all realized one by one later. .
Regarding the first half of my life, I would like to sum it up with this sentence: "I have fought the good fight, I have run the race, and I have kept the faith."
Entering the second half of my life, I just want to Go for one goal: to become the best language tutor in China.
Back then, my teacher illuminated me with a beam of light and led me to the vast world. Now, I also want to be that beam of light, lighting up countless "I" sleeping dreams. I hope that every "I" can realize the wishes in the life list and shine with his or her own light on the stage of life.

When I turned around to face the camera, I was immediately in high spirits again, which surprised and moved me. The time
interviewed Leo Ku left a particularly deep impression on me. At that time, he had just finished acting in "Love in the Rain" and the sequel to "My Fair Princess". The station received news that he was coming to Guangzhou to shoot a sneaker commercial, so they hurriedly sent me to conduct an interview.
(Interview with the warm-hearted Ku Juji)
Due to the intensive workload, my interview outline was not prepared in detail enough and I did not memorize it very well. When asking a question, I confused his role with Su Youpeng's.
Ku Juji first gently patted my shoulder, and then whispered in my ear: "You said it wrong, it's Su Youpeng. Remember to cut it off later, otherwise the boss will criticize you." As a popular star, not only He was not angry, but he also thoughtfully considered others from their perspective. While I was moved, I also secretly told myself to practice these good qualities.
In 2010, I was invited by Jiajia Cartoon TV to dub the TV station’s cartoon host Kubi.
I not only finished dubbing the voice, but also tried to figure out how to give this cute little cartoon more personality so that more people would remember it. I revised the manuscript again and again every time, and actively came up with ideas, hoping that this young team could make the program better.
Once, I got Andy Lau’s exclusive ID for this young TV station.
(In 2010, I hosted the New Year Carnival with cartoon host Kubi)
At the launch ceremony of "Future Police" starring Andy Lau and Xu Jiao, many entertainment hosts and reporters flocked to the event.
At a new film conference like this, the main creative staff usually take turns speaking a few words on stage, then take a few photos and leave. The process of
is very fast. If you want to interview Andy Lau alone and ask him to say a few words to his own media, it is an impossible task.
But the solution can be figured out. I learned through the "grapevine" that Mrs. Andy Lau was preparing for pregnancy. Children's Day was coming soon. As an expectant father, his mood must be different from usual.
So, I prepared a large teleprompter board and wrote a line of words on it. Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind.
At the scene that day, the director, Andy Lau, Xu Jiao and other creative staff completed the event process very quickly. Seeing Andy Lau walking out surrounded by many bodyguards, reporters rushed forward, but the bodyguards stopped them when they reached for microphones and cameras.
I stood in the crowd and shouted at a loud voice: "Mr. Andy Lau, it's Children's Day soon. Can you say a word to the children?" When Andy Lau heard it, he stopped, pointed at me and said : "Just record it for her."
(I recorded Andy Lau's exclusive ID. In order to complete the work, I gave up taking a photo with him)
I swished and raised the written prompter high, and Andy Lau showed his sign. Smiling, he read out: "I am Andy Lau. I wish all children across the country a happy holiday! Welcome to Jiajia Cartoon TV!"
Everyone present was stunned, looking to see who was so lucky to be the only one named, The precious ID was also recorded.
Unfortunately I can’t share it with them because most of them are in the entertainment section.
colleagues are very excited. As a young satellite TV program, being able to record such an important ID is very helpful in expanding its popularity and influence.
What’s funny is that after interviewing Andy Lau, my photographer colleagues stood up and waited for me to come up and take a photo with him, but I quickly put away my signboard and ran off to interview Xu Jiao, leaving the photographer in a mess in the wind.
For me, it is not important to take pictures with celebrities, it is more important to complete the work.
For example, when I was selected as Tony Leung’s pronunciation instructor for a commercial film, others saw that I earned 8,000 yuan an hour and was famous as an actor, but I valued the accumulation of experience in participating in the recording process of top commercials. The
advertisement was shot in a huge studio like a large factory in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The "little dark room" in the middle was where the advertisement was shot.
(I am Tony Leung’s Zhengyin teacher)
Tony Leung, dressed in white, walked in surrounded by a large group of people. Looking at his spring-like smile, all of us seemed to be frozen. Before we could recover, he had already greeted us all the way and entered the recording studio.
He half-bent to shake my hand, looked at me with charming electric eyes, and said gently: "You are my teacher today. I will do whatever you say. I will listen to you, please."
Mine It’s a lie to feel not nervous or anxious. You know, Tony Leung's schedule is very full. After this recording, he will immediately rush to the next work place. If I don't get the correct pronunciation right, it will waste time, and it will be very troublesome to make up for the recording.
I worked hard and with my keen ears, I quickly diagnosed some of his deep-rooted pronunciation problems, corrected them syllable by syllable, and successfully completed the recording. Tony Leung himself was very satisfied and happy with the final recording effect.
I am also very happy. However, rather than helping celebrities correct their voices, helping ordinary people change and carve out "good voices" gives me a stronger sense of accomplishment.
(I took an employment guide class at Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, using the title of a book by Yu Minhong "May Your Youth Live Up to Your Dreams" as the theme)
Since graduating from university, I have been serving as a language tutor for 30 years. Extensive practice in dubbing has trained my highly sensitive "old Chinese medicine" ears.
Dale Carnegie once said: "A person's success depends 15% on technical knowledge and 85% on the art of eloquence." However, I found that many people do not know where their language problems lie.
A big blogger with millions of fans, he was afraid of appearing on camera and only did hand broadcasting. I helped her find the core issues with her voice and performance in front of the camera. Now she has broken through herself and can appear on camera with confidence.
A noodle shop owner who has been immersed in the business circle for decades has missed many opportunities for business cooperation because of his poor expression. I coached her to present herself in clear and concise business language, and now she has started multiple collaborations.
From these adults, I suddenly discovered that language expression is an ability that should be grasped from childhood and benefited until old age. No matter how many hobbies you learn for your children, it is not as good as practicing language expression.
(I serve as an examiner in language examinations)
has a little girl who has been following me since she was 4 years old. From g to h, he ran and jumped around the classroom, and later became one of the "Top Ten Little Mayors of Yangcheng" who spoke eloquently and wisely.
There is also a girl in fifth grade. Her parents also signed her up to participate in the "Yangcheng Little Mayor" competition and asked me to "train" her.
At first she didn't believe that she was a "little mayor" at all, so I decided not to talk professionally but to tell stories first.
I told her the story of Teacher Cai, the stories of inspirational entrepreneurs and celebrities I had interviewed, and the stories of unyielding ordinary people.
After she gradually opened her heart, I began to provide professional guidance. During the training process, she had flinched and thought about giving up, and I helped her out time and time again.
(In March 2024, as a special host, she successfully hosted an industry salon)
In the assessment of 650,000 students in Guangzhou, she passed all the tests and entered the top 20, top 10, top 3, and entered finals.In the end, she was elected as one of the "Top Ten Little Mayors" and received the Special Performance Award. The mayor of Guangzhou personally presented the award to her.
Later, this child, who was originally unconfident, started to have bad grades. He got full marks in essays and won many awards in speech contests. He has also set a lofty ambition: to become a useful person to society like Zhong Nanshan and study the most difficult cell arrangement topic.
Now, she is a senior in high school. I will always cheer for her. When she realizes her ideal in the near future, I will applaud her and be proud of her.
From the moment my life was enlightened by Teacher Cai when I was in the second year of junior high school, I wanted to be like her. I want to say to Teacher Cai that you raised me from a "worm" to a "dragon". Now, like you, I don't dislike any child and firmly believe that every child has the potential to become a "dragon".
This girl later wrote me a long thank you letter, which I have kept. I am very pleased, this is the essence of education, this is the true meaning of a tree shaking a tree.
(Being called "teacher", I want to be a teacher all my life)
When I was young, I once wrote a life list in my diary:
"Have a job that I love, my own house, a car, and a child. , make a movie, record a CD, get a diving certificate, drink coffee next to the Eiffel Tower, read Notre Dame de Paris in Victor Hugo's book..."
Those seemingly unattainable wishes were all realized one by one later. .
Regarding the first half of my life, I would like to sum it up with this sentence: "I have fought the good fight, I have run the race, and I have kept the faith."
Entering the second half of my life, I just want to Go for one goal: to become the best language tutor in China.
Back then, my teacher illuminated me with a beam of light and led me to the vast world. Now, I also want to be that beam of light, lighting up countless "I" sleeping dreams. I hope that every "I" can realize the wishes in the life list and shine with his or her own light on the stage of life.
