As long as a person loves his motherland and has a patriotic heart, he can handle any work, and he can endure any hardship and grievance. - Ice Heart.
Every Chinese has the idea of returning to their roots in their hearts, no matter where they live on weekdays, they always miss returning to their homeland when they are old, and this nostalgia touches our hearts of loving the motherland and continues our long-standing civilization.
Zhou Jie, once known as the "Oriental Beauty God", lived in Houston for decades and founded a dance school to spread Chinese culture. However, in the last days of her life, she preferred to leave everything behind and charter a flight back home.
Zhou Jie paid $270,000 in exchange for the opportunity to return to China. She was very happy, but only 5 days after returning to China, Zhou Jie died in bed. Although her face is peaceful, because she can rest in her hometown, she has no regrets in her heart.
Zhou Jie, a dance genius, was admitted to the Shanghai Opera House Academy at the age of 12. She was loved by her teachers for her beautiful dancing and outstanding talent, and since the age of 15, she has participated in various large-scale dance dramas.
Her demure smile, charming eyes, as well as thick eyebrows and big eyes, quickly attracted the attention of many directors. Coupled with her graceful dancing, the image of a classical beauty is vividly displayed in front of people.
Zhou Jie has been invited to play the role of Concubine Li in the movies "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace", she can sing and dance, and her eyebrows reveal a trace of sorrow, which perfectly presents the image of the concubine in the last days in the director's mind. Therefore, Zhou Jie became an instant hit and became one of the classic concubines in the minds of many people.
However, this is not the pinnacle of Zhou Jie's acting career. What makes her remembered is that she played the role of Yang Guifei in the movie "Yang Guifei" directed by Chen Jialin.
Zhou Jie has a slender figure, which is different from the plump Yang Guifei described in the history books. She practiced dancing all year round and in order to better play this role, she gave up the management of her figure, gained more than 20 pounds, and finally met the director's requirements.
This poem "Looking back and smiling at a hundred beautiful people, the six palaces have no color" is truly presented on Zhou Jie in the film, her every smile is full of charming style, and her posture is graceful and moving.
She personally participated in the whole dance scene in the play, resolutely did not use stand-ins, and showed a beautiful dance posture like a concubine with her superb dance skills, and even the director couldn't help but high-five. One more point is flashy and compelling, and one point less is bland and boring.
The successful broadcast of "Yang Guifei" has made many viewers familiar with the dancer Zhou Jie, and even has a deeper understanding of the dance industry.
At the age of 35, Zhou Jie suddenly gave up her thriving performance career in China and went to the United States alone.
At that time, many people couldn't understand why she had to go abroad to seek development when she had endless scripts and endless stages in China.
However, Zhou Jie's wish in her heart is very pure, she just wants to see the hometown of dancer Duncan. When she first arrived in Houston, she was like a tourist, sitting under a Broadway stage and watching a show, as if years of fame and fortune had temporarily left her. She is no longer a famous dance artist, just an ordinary tourist.
During her stay in the United States, Zhou Jie was surprised to find that Americans' understanding of China was not comprehensive, and even there was a rather biased perception, and even the local Chinese did not have a deep understanding of the dance in their hometown.
Zhou Jie decided to stay, she loves dance and plans to change people's stereotypes about dance by opening a dance school.
Although it cannot affect everyone, as long as you try your best, you can maintain a clear conscience.
When the news of Ms. Zhou's dance school in the United States reached China, many accused her of forgetting her interests and asked why she didn't open a school in China. In the face of these accusations, Zhou Jie chose to live in silence, accepting all kinds of students in the United States, regardless of their appearance or size, as long as they are willing to learn Xi Chinese dance, she will teach them carefully.
Five years after opening a dance school in the United States, Zhou Jie returned to China to establish a domestic dance school in Shanghai, imparting Western dance experience to local students, promoting the exchange between Chinese and Western cultures, and she became an indispensable link in this process.
Zhou Jie did not abandon her domestic acting career, and she has participated in TV series such as "Baolian Lantern" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Even though some viewers lamented that she no longer had the beauty she had when she was "Yang Guifei", she still won everyone's respect with her excellent acting skills and professionalism.
Zhou Jie, who is in her 50s, was accidentally found to have lung cancer, and in desperation, she chose to stay in Houston, USA to undergo **. Due to the torture of illness, her originally slender body has been so thin that only skin and bones remain. Perhaps she sensed that her life was near, so she spent her last days running around, trying to contact a charter flight, hoping to return to her homeland to rest in peace.
Once known as the "Oriental Beauty God", she has passed away, but her career is still celebrated. The Chinese and American schools she founded are still exchanging Xi each other, influencing each other's dance cultures.
Sometimes we can't choose where we want to go in life, and sometimes we only see the present and ignore the further future interests. Maybe we're content with the status quo, or we're just busy trying to get a better future.
After having a career, you are more willing to contribute to others and sacrifice yourself, which is a very noble quality. Ordinary people may not be able to do it, but Zhou Jie has done it. She used her feminine shoulders to support the bridge of communication between the two countries, which is really worthy of praise by future generations. Zhou Jieqiong
