Nowadays, many working women often think about the question in their hearts: how to balance family and work?
Society's expectation of women is no longer limited to being good professionals, virtuous mothers, and considerate wives, but has become a tacit norm.
However, none of these roles are as important to women as their personal growth. It's more important to be a better version of yourself than to be a great employee, a good mom, or a good wife.
A little girl was born in Beijing to a military family in July 1961.
Many years later, Li Ruiying won the love of hundreds of millions of viewers in China with her "Guotai Min'an" appearance and excellent broadcasting skills, and became the current anchor of the "News Network" column of ** TV station.
Li Ruiying is not only a news anchor of ** TV station, but also a mother of children.
As an outstanding employee of CCTV, Li Ruiying naturally believes that she is capable of the role of "mother".
Due to the nature of her work, Li Ruiying is always unable to spare enough time to spend with her children, which makes her feel extremely helpless.
She knows how important companionship is to her young son, but the importance of work is intertwined with the care for her beloved son, and Li Ruiying is always full of contradictions.
Li Ruiying always cherishes every minute gratefully, when she has time to spend with her children.
The precious memories of the mother and son, whether it is running crazy with the child on the grass in the park, or holding the child's small hand to write stroke by stroke, every scene is the same.
In the eyes of children, Li Ruiying is the beautiful and generous news anchor on the TV screen, and the gentle mother who holds him to tell stories when night falls.
Perhaps the child does not understand why his mother is always busy and why the time he can spend with his mother is always so limited.
However, he was able to appreciate that every moment with his mother was filled with his mother's endless love and companionship.
Li Ruiying is constantly running between children and work, and for a long time, one of them will not be adequately taken care of.
When the large-scale live broadcast program was about to start, Li Ruiying received the nanny's **, and the nanny on the other end cried with grief.
The child suddenly fell from the stairs and the situation was terrible!Come back and check it out!
When Li Ruiying heard **, her hair stood on end, and she was at a loss for a while, until the director urged her to enter the live broadcast hall, and she suddenly realized.
Hundreds of people have worked hard for today's live broadcast for a month, and Li Ruiying decided not to ask for leave no matter what. She made up her mind and immediately replied to the nanny.
I would immediately call 120 Ambulance** and inform the child's father that I would go to the hospital when I was done.
After hanging up**, Li Ruiying didn't even have time to wipe away her tears, she turned around and walked towards the live broadcast hall, and under the instructions of the director of the countdown voice "321", she began this meaningful work.
Li Ruiying rushed to the hospital immediately after finishing her work, but fortunately, the child accepted ** in time, but suffered some minor trauma.
When the child saw that his mother was late, he was a little unhappy and couldn't help complaining to his mother: "Mom, why did you come?"I had a pretty painful fall. ”
Li Ruiying has always been calm and restrained, but after listening to the child's words, tears fell like beads with broken threads. She held the child's hand, but couldn't say a word.
Li Ruiying's husband learned that his wife bears a heavy responsibility for work, and he knows that she is not easy and sad, so he quickly said to the child:
Today, our little warriors are particularly strong and have not been afraid to receive the injections even without their mothers by their side. As soon as Mom got off work, she got on the spaceship and came to see you!
As a journalist, Li Ruiying is also an excellent employee, and in the eyes of the audience, she will always be the elegant and generous news host with a beautiful voice.
She seems to have been born to be a broadcast host, as if she was born to do this job. However, like everyone else, her path to education and work has not always been smooth sailing.
Li Ruiying's father was born in a military family in the 60s, and he hoped that his daughter, who was about to take the university entrance examination, would be able to "inherit her father's business" and join the military like him to escort the country and family.
However, this well-behaved and obedient daughter from a young age showed unusual firmness in the face of future choices, and Li Ruiying rejected her father's idea of suggesting that she apply for a military school, and chose to deal with writing work.
Faced with many text-related majors, Li Ruiying was hesitant to choose a teacher major in education and teaching or a major in Chinese writing.
When she was helpless, her best friend's advice brought her a new dawn.
Li Ruiying's best friend suggested that she try to apply for the broadcasting and hosting major, because her classmates at school knew that Li Ruiying was a well-known excellent announcer in their school.
Whenever there is an activity after class, everyone will hear Li Ruiying's crisp and moving voice on the playground radio, which has become the best memory of youth.
However, at the end of the 70s of the last century, information was not as developed as it is today. Li Ruiying is not clear about the meaning of applying for the broadcasting and hosting major.
She doesn't seem interested in becoming a presenter?Fortunately, this major has an interview before the college entrance examination, and Li Ruiying decided to give it a try, even if she fails, it doesn't matter.
Nervous, Li Ruiying entered the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, which was renamed the Communication University of China many years later.
On the day of the interview on the campus of Beijing Broadcasting Institute, Li Ruiying was preparing for the article to be recited in the interview when she noticed an old gentleman sitting not far away.
Li Ruiying thought to herself: "How can I do it without the audience's recitation?"Why don't you ask that old gentleman to be my listener!”
Li Ruiying expressed her idea to the old gentleman, and the old gentleman readily agreed.
After Li Ruiying recited the essay he had prepared, he asked the old gentleman what he thought of her performance, and the old gentleman smiled kindly and said, "I think your performance is very good, maybe you can consider applying to this school!"”
With the encouragement of strangers, Li Ruiying walked into the interview site with confidence.
When it was Li Ruiying's turn, she was surprised to find that the teacher sitting in the middle of the judges' seat turned out to be the old gentleman she had just met on campus.
Li Ruiying successfully passed the interview without any suspense, and of course the result is self-evident. In the subsequent college entrance examination, he made great progress all the way, and was finally successfully admitted to Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
After Li Ruiying entered the university, she still maintained the studious demeanor of middle school, and every morning she would practice Xi her recitation skills on campus alone, which always made people feel kind.
Whether in the classroom or in the library, she is always attentive, as if diligence has become a part of her life.
At the same time, a boy with the name Zhang Yuyan also stepped into Li Ruiying's life.
Zhang Yuyan is a positive and hard-working person, who quickly won Li Ruiying's heart, and they strolled around the campus hand in hand, looking forward to their bright future together.
Li Ruiying had a wonderful time in college, and she incorporated books and love into her campus life. Four years later, after graduating with honors, she came to work at Jiangsu TV Station.
Life in the south is full of many uncomfortable situations for a girl who grew up in the north.
Li Ruiying, who has just stepped into the workplace, is faced with many tasks that need to be learned and Xi and dealt with, which are really trivial and numerous.
Although Li Ruiying is an outstanding student of Beijing Broadcasting Institute, becoming a qualified anchor is not as simple as sitting in front of the camera and talking.
From gathering to writing a piece of news, from designing to broadcasting a video, every step requires 100% dedication.
Li Ruiying still adheres to her diligent and studious nature, not afraid of hardship, and not afraid of fatigue in the workplace.
All the staff of Jiangsu TV soon learned that the new Beijing girl Li Ruiying is very diligent and dedicated, and is not afraid of hardships.
After three years of hard work, Li Ruiying won the recognition of ** TV station with his excellent work ability, and they invited him to join CCTV.
After three years away from home, Li Ruiying finally had the opportunity to return to her hometown, and she was very happy. In the same year, Li Ruiying and her boyfriend Zhang Yuyan held a wedding.
A few years later, Li Ruiying gave birth to a lively and lovely boy that she and her husband cherished.
Because of the harmony of her family, Li Ruiying worked harder and worked harder.
Despite her background, Li Ruiying has always maintained a good professional attitude in her work. As a news anchor, her control over the accuracy of text is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
CCTV staff can often see Li Ruiying carrying a dictionary with her, and as long as there is no broadcast task, she will bury her head in reading in her spare time.
Li Ruiying knows the pronunciation and shape of a word, as well as the common meaning and rare meaning.
Since 1987, Li Ruiying has hosted various large-scale events, including the Chinese commentary of the "News Network" and the opening ceremony of the Beijing Asian Games, and she has achieved success with her outstanding professional skills and dedication.
In 1997, Li Ruiying took on the important news mission of Hong Kong's return to China, and at that time, on-site reporters faced the challenge of extremely poor technical equipment and communication signals.
In this case, Li Ruiying has won unanimous praise from domestic and foreign counterparts for her error-free broadcast and excellent improvisational response ability.
She has performed like a fearless warrior in the workplace, and has won unanimous recognition from leaders, colleagues and audiences for her outstanding professionalism and professionalism.
With the infinite tolerance and support of her family, Li Ruiying has gone all out in her work. She worked at ** TV for twenty-eight years until her official retirement.
In the span of 28 years of his career, he made no mistakes in all major newscasts. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a "miracle" in any industry.
Even after receiving the news of her son's accidental fall, she was able to keep a calm smile and continue to report on the news.
Some people may say that Li Ruiying is still too selfish, and her children are injured and she still cares about work, can't the TV station run without her?
Those who are familiar with the work of ** know that the success of a show requires the dedication of many people, and it cannot be expected that the anchor will suddenly be unable to play before the broadcast of the program, and you can immediately change to another one to start the live broadcast.
At this critical moment, Li Ruiying's choice to work does not mean that we should blame her.
If the anchor had been male and not female at the time, I am afraid that people would not have such doubts, and if you think about the problem from a different angle, you may have a different opinion.
In the role of a mother, Li Ruiying does her best to accompany her children to grow up with heart and love, and spares no effort at every critical momentAnd in her role as a news anchor, she has earned the respect of almost everyone for her professionalism and dedication.
Everyone wants to be able to do both when making a choice. However, we also know that the hardest thing in the world is to achieve "both".
As an author who is both a mother and a professional, I deeply understand the decision Li Ruiying made when her child fell from the building.
It may be difficult for us to understand the inner struggle and pain she experienced during the live broadcast, and she longs more than anyone to be with her injured child.
Li Ruiying is not only a CCTV anchor, she is essentially as ordinary as us ordinary people.
Like us, she is faced with a difficult choice between "family and work", and there is no better choice but to try her best to balance it.
When she felt that she was about to lose her balance, the love of her family was like a balance stick, supporting her, making her steady mind, slowly finding her balance, and then starting again.
Over the years, Lee Seo-young has done her best to become a highly praised mother and a much-admired news anchor. These two identities also make her even better.
Li Ruiying, who is already over the age of six, stepped off the stage today and retreated behind the scenes. She returned to her alma mater, Communication University of China, as a visiting professor and devoted herself to training young broadcasters.
She became a member of the Standing Committee of the All-China Youth Federation and actively participated in grassroots public welfare undertakings.
However, after her retirement, Li Ruiying frequently attended some platform activities, which raised questions that she was seeking financial benefits, which led to a large number of critical voices on the Internet, which almost seriously affected her reputation.
It is widely said that "women in the new era should strive to be better individuals", but there is little guidance on how to define "better individuals"?
Wouldn't being a great employee, a dutiful mother, and a virtuous wife be a more perfect self?
Li Ruiying took her own half-life experience as an example to show us the exploration of women in the new era on the road of self-growth.
People can often think of Li Ruiying's brilliance in front of the camera when they look back on the past, but few people pay attention to the struggles and hardships behind her.
When faced with the dilemma of choosing between work and family, Li Ruiying worked hard to fulfill her responsibilities, and she exchanged infinite tolerance and support for her husband's true love.
She has exchanged her brilliant achievements in her work for the endless admiration and understanding of her children.
Li Ruiying works hard day after day, in order to have a happy family and a brilliant career. In her dictionary, there is never the word "lying flat", and she knows that it takes all efforts to achieve her ideals.
Li Ruiying has made brilliant achievements as an anchor for 28 years, and has never made a mistake in these long years.
It was not a miracle of talent or luck, and her happy family was not achieved by chance, but by wisdom and determined hard work.
This is the essence of women in the new era, and it is also the "more perfect self" they pursue.
I hope you can be like Li Ruiying, cherish every opportunity you encounter, truly care for your family members, and strive to become a "better self".
