In 1953, Wu Haiyan was born into a literary family in Shanghai. Her parents were both engaged in art-related work, and she instilled her love and appreciation for Chinese opera in her daughter at a young age. When she was 5 years old, she came to the art school affiliated to the Shanghai Theater Academy with her parents to study acting. 
Wu Haiyan, who is far more interested in opera performances than ordinary people, chooses to stay in school to study and practice even during the holidays, and fully devotes herself to the art world. Her mother occasionally came to visit, but she couldn't get her to leave the stage of love. In this way, Wu Haiyan has been receiving systematic training in this art hall from primary school to university. In 1978, Wu Haiyan, who had just graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, successfully entered the Peking Opera Company. When she performed the classic opera "Ode to the Dragon River" with a senior artist, she played Gong Chunhua and captivated everyone present. Unlike Wu Haiyan, who has a soft spot for opera, she was not keen on competing in the film and television industry at first, and when she auditioned for the heroine of "Haixia", she even had a psychology of retreat and escape. 
However, in the end, through self-encouragement and enlightenment to others, Wu Haiyan still mustered up the courage to come to the filming location - a remote island. The hot climate and heavy shooting tasks on the island were not adapted to at first, but Wu Haiyan was not discouraged, but adjusted her mentality with the help of her colleagues on the set and devoted herself to shooting. Under the repeated baptism of seawater, the already tanned complexion is more natural "into the corner". After months of hard work, Wu Haiyan conquered everyone in the crew with her excellent performance. In 1984, her starring work "Haixia" was a great success after its official release, and its wonderful performance and beautiful pictures shocked the film industry at that time, and also quickly increased the popularity and popularity of Wu Haiyan herself. 
In the "female militia fever" set off by society, Wu Haiyan's name is almost a household name. Since then, she has begun to appear frequently on the big screen. In 1986, Wu Haiyan met and fell in love with a man named Zhang Xiaoshen, and the relationship between the two developed smoothly all the way to the point of meeting their parents. It is precisely because of the background of working together in the early years that it is easy for both parties to be interested and resonate. The parents found out that he was perfect and took such good care of their daughter, and they were very happy to give their blessings. In life, the considerate Zhang Xiaoshen can always take the initiative to understand Wu Haiyan's work and difficulties. Whether it's sending homemade meals or caring about the doubts she encounters during her performance, everything silently proves his intentions. The relationship between the two warmed up invisibly in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and finally ushered in the big day of the little couple. After getting married, Wu Haiyan devoted herself to the filming of "The White Lotus", and many accidents happened but frightened her newlywed husband. Zhang Xiaoshen couldn't help but go to visit, and repeatedly persuaded his beloved wife to leave this business. However, Wu Haiyan's love and obsession with acting still overcame her husband's anxiety, and she chose to continue to move forward and completed her last masterpiece in the film and television industry. 
The frequent accidents during the filming of "The White Lotus" finally shattered Wu Haiyan's confidence in continuing to work hard in the film and television industry. Her husband Zhang Xiaoshen's constant worries and opposition also made her have to face up to the risk that she might stay in this field. So, she gradually accepted Zhang Xiaoshen's suggestion and began to consider transformation and development. After leaving a short but wonderful film and television career, Wu Haiyan did not choose to retire behind the scenes. She turned her attention to the drama stage, which is also a performing art, but with a lower risk factor. With the strong support and encouragement of her husband, Wu Haiyan soon returned to the mountains and turned to the drama industry. 
Years of experience in acting, coupled with her love for theatre itself, quickly allowed her to gain a firm foothold in a new field. She continues to shine on the drama stage, showing her acting skills and charm as she did not diminish. Now in her twilight years, she is still active on the stage and has become a model for future generations of actors to learn. Wu Haiyan is a well-deserved strong woman in the film and television industry, and her love and dedication to art have made her brilliant career. However, if you want to ask her about the most correct and important choice in her life, Wu Haiyan will not hesitate to say that she is married to Zhang Xiaoshen. It can be said that Zhang Xiaoshen has played a vital and positive role in the development of Wu Haiyan's career. He not only cared about her work in all aspects, but also gave her life advice at many critical moments, helping her to choose a wiser path and avoid falling in this competitive circle. 
Without Zhang Xiaoshen, a life partner, it is difficult for us to imagine whether Wu Haiyan can achieve today's achievements. Therefore, we have to admit that choosing the right partner can have a profound impact on personal development. Sometimes the impact is far greater than our career choices and goals. As Wu Haiyan's life story tells us.
