Liu Mintao's life experience can be said to be a real version of the drama. Since she was a child, she has been the kind of good child who is a "good wife and mother", no matter how difficult and stressful she encounters, she can persevere to the end and never give up easily. Although her parents didn't have any particular expectations for her academics, she always wanted to be recognized by them and her teachers, and she put a lot of effort into it. She doesn't have a particular hobby or favorite game, but she is very eager to be recognized. In order not to disappoint her parents, she even enrolled in a dance class to learn dance, although she didn't really like it.
However, when Liu Mintao was faced with a major choice in her life - the college entrance examination, her aunt came up with a brand new suggestion for her to consider the Central Academy of Drama. When she first heard this advice, Liu Mintao was actually very envious of the profession of actor deep down, but due to her inner depression and obedience to family expectations, she originally planned to become a "good child" and follow her family's expectations. But in the end, she decided to pursue her true dream. Her decision was not an easy one, as she knew that once she chose this path, she would face more uncertainty and risk.
Liu Mintao showed an unexpected talent in the exams of the Central Academy of Drama, successfully entered this prestigious academy, and was quickly praised as "Little Gong Li" by teachers and classmates. This name has put a lot of pressure on her, but it has also brought her more expectations and responsibilities. After graduating from university, she chose to stay in Beijing and began her career as an actress. But in this highly competitive entertainment industry, she has not found a role that can make her an instant hit, until 2005, when she had an opportunity to participate in the filming of the TV series "Alive" and play the heroine "Chen Jiazhen".
This TV series is a huge challenge for her, because she needs to act from 20 years old to 60 years old, which is a very large age span. In order to better interpret this role, Liu Mintao repeatedly read the original novel, and carefully observed the mothers with children and the aunts carrying vegetable baskets in the crowded vegetable market. She used her efforts and talents to break the law of "mid-life crisis" of female stars in the entertainment industry, which impressed the audience, and the ratings also rose steadily, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at the same time as a breakthrough in his career, Liu Mintao's personal life faced huge challenges. In 2000, her parents began to worry about her marriage, and she repeatedly reassured them that it was too early to marry at the age of 24, but also promised them that she would marry at the age of 30 at the most. In the end, at the age of 30, Liu Mintao married a very successful businessman with a wealthy husband worth hundreds of millions.
As a first-time wife, she lived a seemingly wealthy life, but soon found that she was not married into a happy family, but a "fire pit" full of pressure and restrictions. After getting married, Liu Mintao disappeared in front of the audience. At the age of 30, she was at the peak of her actress's career, but she gave up her career and became a vassal of her husband. At her husband's request, every time she attended a banquet with her husband, she had to dress up beautifully according to her husband's requirements, which earned her husband enough face and became her husband's capital to show off.
After experiencing this series of changes and challenges, Liu Mintao has gradually grown from an obedient little girl to an adult who pursues self-worth. She used her efforts and talent to break the law of "mid-life crisis" of female stars in the entertainment industry, but in her personal life, she has experienced great challenges and pressure. Her life experience tells us that no matter what kind of life we choose, we need courage and determination to face it, whether it is a career or a personal life, we need to stick to our choices and not be swayed by external pressures and expectations. Liu Mintao's story is a typical real-life plot, and she uses her own experience to show the uncertainty and complexity of life.
