A year later, with a solid foundation, she was successfully admitted to the actor class of Henan Provincial Opera School again.
For an 11-year-old girl, it is a rare opportunity to study in a professional acting team. Ding Lan has been passionate about stage performance since she was a child, and being admitted to the drama school is like a dream come true for her.
For the sake of stage art, she has undergone hard training in all aspects, even if there will be pain in the process. She repeats the basic movements hundreds of times a day until she is perfect. In the process of learning, many complex movements need to be practiced repeatedly, and tears and sweat accompany them all the way.
But Ding Lan has been working hard and always striving for the future to shine on the stage.
At the age of 15, Ding Lan entered the ** Song and Dance Troupe as he wished, and began to emerge on the drama stage. "Red Lantern", "Broken Bridge", "Borrowed Umbrella" and other plays have become her performance stage.
An ordinary girl's love and unremitting efforts for stage art finally allowed her to show her talent and brilliance in front of everyone. These sweats and efforts make her shine brightly on the screen.
In 1982, 18-year-old Ding Lan ushered in a turning point in her life. She played the heroine of the shepherdesss in the movie "Shaolin Temple" directed by Zhang Xinyan, which not only changed her life, but also opened a new era for Chinese kung fu films.

By chance, the movie "Shaolin Temple" changed the trajectory of Ding Lan's life and made her a new star in an instant. And the role of "Shepherdess" is also deeply engraved in the audience's memory under her interpretation.
She is known as one of the eternal heroines in the history of Chinese cinema, and together with "Shaolin Temple", she wrote a dazzling page in the history of Chinese cinema.
Since the success of "Shaolin Temple", Ding Lan has ushered in the first period of his acting career. She starred in a number of martial arts films with real fight scenes and was known as a "heroine".
But Ding Lan is not satisfied with being simply labeled, but hopes to break through the fixed role image through her own efforts and show the audience a more diversified performance style.
In the 80s of the 20th century, Ding Lan ushered in the peak of his career. In order to break through her acting skills, she began to consult senior actors and delve into acting techniques. She repeats the work of other actors, analyzes their performances, and then rehearses them on stage to explore the most suitable performance style for herself.
After a long period of hard work, Ding Lan's image on the screen has become more and more plump and three-dimensional.

Ding Lan began to make a career in Singapore with confidence, joined Mediacorp, took on several TV series, and starred in the movie "Journey to the East". But soon, reality hit her head-on, and she could no longer achieve the same success in China in the new environment.
The TV series she starred in did not arouse much repercussions, and her career gradually fell into a trough.
Ding Lan's career declined, and there were cracks in her marriage. In order to develop her career, she invested a lot of time, and frequent business trips and filming made her neglect to take care of her family.
Because she and her businessman husband always get together less and leave more, the relationship gradually faded, and finally their marriage ended in Singapore and ended in divorce.
In 2000, after the last TV series starring Ding Lan was broadcast, she chose to leave the entertainment industry in Singapore and return to China to start a new life. Her career and relationship did not develop as she had hoped, but she did not give up and decided to start over.
The popular actress's trip in Singapore came to an end, and she fell into the lowest point in her life.
