From the late 80s to the early 90s of the last century, Zhang Xiaomin was at the peak of his career. At that time, she could be said to be one of the most dazzling new stars in the Chinese film and television industry: talented, powerful, and daring to break through, and always maintained a good attitude of high production and quality. Originally, Zhang Xiaomin, who was born in Beijing in 1968, was actually not from a famous family. Her parents were just ordinary old revolutionaries and intellectuals, and her family was in the upper middle range. However, this did not affect Zhang Xiaomin's pursuit and brilliance on the road of acting. With a delicate melon seed face and delicate eyebrows, she was successively admitted to the ACFTU Art Troupe and Beijing Film Academy, and was in the company of rising talents like Ge You and Liu Ye. During his studies at the Film Academy, Zhang Xiaomin showed amazing acting potential and a high frequency of participation. In just a few years, she has starred in several popular film and television dramas and played many popular screen roles. What made her famous the most was the "Very Big **" broadcast in 1990 to interpret the historical figure of Song Qingling. 
At that time, all the audience were impressed by Zhang Xiaomin's noble and dignified image of Mrs. Song; She also won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 7th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for this film. For a time, the three words "Zhang Xiaomin" were known to almost everyone, and her face and works were everywhere. Until around the age of thirty, Zhang Xiaomin can be said to be at the peak of his career, and has become a popular superstar and a goddess in the minds of many audiences. In 2002, 39-year-old Zhang Xiaomin resolutely decided to immigrate to Canada and start a new life in Vancouver with her ordinary director husband Jerry and two children. This is undoubtedly a huge leap in isolation for popular actresses. From his career in full swing to resolutely letting go, from being a household name to being heard from nowhere to being heard from, Zhang Xiaomin chose to give up all the dazzling fame and fortune in China to pursue his own spiritual liberation. 
At first, her husband Jerry's small company was still in the entrepreneurial stage, and Zhang Xiaomin's family did not have a good life. At one point, they were deceived by their landlords in Vancouver and forced to live in unfurnished empty houses and live in Western lower-class families. For showbiz people who are accustomed to fame and fortune, this is undoubtedly a huge gap. Zhang Xiaomin once had thoughts of confusion, regret and even self-blame. Fortunately, Jerry never gave up on her and always stood by her side to give encouragement. For eight years, the two experienced the hardships of life together and forged ahead. It is also the companionship and support of her husband that has made Zhang Xiaomin gradually transform into a successful woman who cultivates both internally and externally. In 2010, after living in Canada for eight years, Zhang Xiaomin decided to return to the mountains and devote himself to the film and television industry that he knew and loved the most. With the strong support of her husband Jerry, she founded the Vancouver School of Television and Film and made a legend in one fell swoop. 
As the first case of a film actor in the mainland to Canada, Zhang Xiaomin naturally has extremely rich network resources. With her popularity and appeal, she has successively introduced a number of famous Hollywood screenwriters and photographers to teach at the college, making it rapidly expand its strength and popularity. Today, a few years later, the Vancouver Television and Film Academy has developed into an influential local institution, and Zhang Xiaomin's career has also ushered in a second peak. Now in her 60s, she continues to serve as the top leader of the Academy, and has been invited to be the chief director of Canada's major cultural events. The 2014 Spring Festival Gala was organized by her, which was well received by audiences in both countries. 
In 2018, Zhang Xiaomin was elected president of the North American Film Association with a high vote. It can be said that Zhang Xiaomin has single-handedly spread Chinese elements overseas, built a bridge between the cultures of the two countries, and made important contributions to promoting exchanges and mutual learning between the Chinese and Western film industries. Now she has become a talented woman who is highly respected in both places in the film and television industry.
