This performance not only marks a major breakthrough in her acting career, but also makes people pay attention to this actress who started from a sitcom and has been in the entertainment industry for many years.
Jiang Yan, born in 1986, is the daughter of an ordinary family in Beijing. My grandparents are old Beijing, and my parents have been middle-level cadres in the system for many years, and their family conditions have always been stable.
She has been a little chubby since she was a child, with big black and thick wavy curls, and the dimples on her cheeks are particularly attractive when she laughs.
He has a lively and cheerful personality, with average to high grades, and is especially fond of performing arts.
Since elementary school, she has joined the repertory troupe and has played many major roles.
The college entrance examination is approaching, and she has strengthened her determination to be admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy and devoted herself to preparing for the interview.
That year, she faced the first important choice in her life, facing a conflict between her ideals and her parents' expectations.
After much deliberation, she decided to pursue her dream and embark on the path of performing arts.

In acting class, Kang Yeon always gives her all and delves into every detail of her acting skills.

However, the good times did not last long, and in her sophomore year, Jiang Yan's father was suddenly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the huge medical expenses put this ordinary family in financial difficulties.
As a result, his father's stable job could not continue, and his mother had to quit his job to take care of his father, and the whole family was in a difficult situation.

She is in her 20s, all dedicated to the stage and the camera, but she also feels the heaviness and impermanence of life in the busyness and hardship.
However, the death of her beloved father when she was 23 years old made her realize the impermanence of life even more profoundly.
Jiang Yan's heartache was like a knife, and in the face of her family and the road ahead, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt before.
This long road of life can only be carried on by oneself step by step.

The plastic surgeon advised her to make her perfectly perfect nose more sculpted and her double eyelids deeper"Just fine-tune it to make it stand out more in front of the camera"。Kang Yeon underwent the surgery with great anticipation.
However, the tall nose disrupts the overall coordination of her face.
The baby fat, which I thought had disappeared, did not decrease much, but made the change in her face shape more obvious.
Plus over time, the facial lines gradually become sharper and slightly sharper.
Her once round and plump face was now slightly longer, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were flattened. Such a change in her face made her look a little distant and cold.
In order to prove herself, she began to try the role of ** vase in some urban dramas.
Although her petite figure makes it difficult for her to interpret these roles perfectly, Kang Yeon's love for acting has never diminished.
