Renowned CCTV host Lao Chunyan has directed classic programs such as "China Rule of Law Report", "Asia Today", and "Focus Interview", and has won several awards, including the "Golden Microphone" award.
She has achieved amazing achievements through her own hard work, regardless of sacrifice, for the sake of her career, she has been separated from her husband for 17 years, and even after she became pregnant, she continued to work and leave her newborn child.
What is the purpose of this sacrifice? How is Lao Chunyan's life now?
Lao Chunyan's father was a nationally renowned journalist, and when she was a child, she often observed her father's every move, serving him tea and water, and her gestures and manners revealed her deep admiration for her father.
Perhaps it was because of her father's influence that Lao Chunyan gradually wanted to become a journalist like her father.
She has been a hardworking child since elementary school, and unlike other children, they like to play outside of class, but she prefers to read and learn quietly by herself.
Chunyan had a thirst for knowledge, and often asked her father for various observations and news stories, and then carefully recorded them in her notebook.
The father was so happy when he saw that his daughter was so passionate about journalism that he told her that in order to become a journalist, she must first get into a good university.
Xiao Chunyan has always remembered this sentence, and she has achieved excellent academic results in both elementary and high school.
In the end, during the college entrance examination, she successfully entered the journalism department of Fudan University in Shanghai as the top liberal arts student in Shaoxing, and the school's journalism major ranked first in the country.
In college, Lao Chunyan was still strict with herself and never let herself slack off, she has been busy with various school activities and drama performances, and in the process found her new dream, that is, to become a well-known host.
Before that, her first task was to be a solid host of the school radio station, constantly accumulating experience and lessons to lay a solid foundation for becoming a well-known host in the future.
Therefore, he cherishes this hard-won practical opportunity very much, and whenever he has free time, he devotes himself to this work. He won high praise from his teachers for his outstanding performance.
Although she only works at the campus radio station, she feels both a sense of accomplishment and a yearning for it, which strengthens her dream of becoming a host.
In order to realize this dream as soon as possible, Lao Chunyan actively practiced and improved her hosting skills, and finally graduated a year early.
After graduating, Lao Chunyan decided to join Shanghai TV as a host. She started from the grassroots level and worked hard to learn the best production and post-editing techniques.
Although her job is only to do some auxiliary work, she takes her work very seriously and responsibly. After work, she will also practice her voice independently, repeatedly record trial broadcasts, and be strict with herself.
In the training again and again, Chunyan gradually accumulated valuable work experience and hosting skills.
Her witty composure and skillful language were finally affirmed by the leaders of the station in a live broadcast.
Since then, Lao Chunyan has made a name for herself in the television industry, becoming an excellent news anchor, and has been appreciated by her leadership, and has been promoted to host several important live news programs.
In order to further her professional knowledge, she returned to her alma mater to study economics, and after obtaining a master's degree, she returned to television to host more economics programs.
Lao Chunyan has always insisted that a good host must first be an excellent reporter and editor, and she constantly tempers her news gathering and editing skills.
During her hosting career, she successfully hosted the live broadcast of many major news events, won the trust of the station, and became a highly relied on host.
Who would be the lifelong companion of such an exceptional woman?
She was known for her intelligence and wit during her college years, and many boys had a crush on her. However, Lao Chunyan devoted herself to journalism and ignored her feelings.
I met Qiu Zhengyi at work, and the feeling of love at first sight instantly came to my heart.
Qiu Zhengyi, who is eight years older than Lao Chunyan, studied journalism at Fudan University and served as the deputy dean of the School of Journalism. He has a steady and introverted personality, low-key and unassuming, but he has a soft spot for Lao Chunyan.
The two talked speculatively when they first met, and it turned out that no matter how you look at it, they have endless topics in common.
Occasionally, Qiu Zhengyi would ask Lao Chunyan to study in the school library, and they would sit there for a whole day, focusing on the academic world, unable to extricate themselves.
After in-depth understanding and communication, both parents are also very satisfied with this marriage.
They believe that the two are not only comparable in family background and career, but more importantly, they are like-minded and have the same heart. Therefore, Qiu Zhengyi and Lao Chunyan successfully completed the knot and became a perfect couple.
After marriage, Lao Chunyan still focused on her career and devoted herself to hosting TV shows. In 2006, she successfully joined ** TV station, which was undoubtedly a thriving opportunity for her.
However, even if she chose this opportunity, she would have to give up the time she spent with her family, and Lao Chunyan finally decided to go to Beijing without hesitation, despite the trade-off between career and family, and her husband was reluctant to support her to pursue her dream.
When she first arrived in Beijing, Lao Chunyan lived in a modest rental house, enduring not only cockroach bites, but also harsh living conditions.
However, she was not discouraged and insisted on proving herself through her work. By hosting a number of programs, the ratings of "China Rule of Law Report" have been rising, and her hosting style is also loved by the audience.
Just when her career was just starting out, her family members were opposed to their marriage in two places, so they persuaded her. But Lao Chunyan knew what she wanted in her heart, and she didn't change her will.
Thankfully, her husband unreservedly supported her choice, and they managed to survive the separation of the two places.
For the sake of their respective careers, they can only see each other three or four times a year, and each reunion is hurried and short. Many years later, Lao Chunyan finally gained a firm foothold in CCTV and became a first-line female anchor.
Lao Chunyan finally established her position at CCTV and successfully obtained the opportunity to transfer jobs, and is expected to work in news-related departments.
This is undoubtedly a major milestone in her career after having been in the industry for five years.
However, at this critical moment of job transfer, Lao Chunyan was surprised to find out that she was pregnant. The arrival of a new life should be a joyful event, but for Lao Chunyan, the appearance of this child has brought trouble.
Lao Chunyan knows that if she gives up this rare opportunity because she is pregnant, her dream of gaining a firm foothold in CCTV may be shattered.
In the past five years, she has paid too much for this, and she can't just give up. However, as a mother, it is impossible for her to abandon this child.
After careful consideration, Lao Chunyan made up her mind to continue to work hard and work while protecting the fetus, and she did not intend to give up on either side. It was a huge challenge for her.
During her pregnancy, Lao Chunyan was under tremendous physical and mental pressure. Because of her age, she reacted unusually strongly during pregnancy, with frequent vomiting and nausea that prevented her from eating.
You have to work during the day and go back to your humble rental house alone at night to take care of yourself. Her husband planned to take a break from work and come to Beijing to take care of her, but this proposal was rejected by Lao Chunyan, who did not want to disrupt her husband's life because of herself.
In order to adapt to the requirements of the new position as soon as possible, Lao Chunyan bought a large number of professional books for self-study, and at the same time, she is also trying to change her living habits to adapt to the climate in the north.
The flying sand in the wind and the chapped lips have a certain impact on her sense of the picture. However, Lao Chunyan was not discouraged by this, but silently accepted the challenge, vowing to overcome all difficulties.
Leaders and colleagues are very considerate of Lao Chunyan's situation, often prepare items for her during pregnancy, and place food in the lounge to help her live in the baby.
Every holiday, her husband would go to great lengths to visit her, even if it was only for a few hours.
He knew that this meant a lot to Lao Chunyan. Every time we met, he always gave her firm encouragement and made her feel happy and warm.
With this support, Lao Chunyan finally waited for the moment when the baby was born, she underwent a caesarean section and welcomed a son. However, for career reasons, she only took two months off before returning to work.
Parents-in-law and husband are responsible for the overall care of the baby, and Lao Chunyan often contacts the child through **. The husband also often takes the children to visit Beijing, and the family has been living with less and more separation for seven years.
In the past seven years, Lao Chunyan has directed a number of important programs and gradually became a well-known host. She proved that women can also succeed in their careers.
During this time, she won several honors, became the host of "Focus Interview", and the following year won the "Golden Microphone" award for the Chinese broadcast host.
Lao Chunyan knew that she owed her son and husband too much due to her long-term busy work, so she took her children to school while her husband was still working hard in Shanghai.
Lao Chunyan, 51, said she would not have been able to do without her husband's unconditional support and her family's understanding of her today.
She is deeply grateful to have such a family and life partner, and considers it the happiest and luckiest thing in her life.
Although they have been separated for 17 years, their relationship is still the same. Lao Chunyan's story shows us that as long as there is understanding and support among family members, a woman can also succeed in her career.
