At nineteen, Jiang Sui landed the first lead role of her life with ease.
At twenty-five, she had to exhaust herself just to get a small role.
Over the course of six years, she worked at a milk tea shop, delivered food and packages, and streamed online.
To earn money and pay off her debts, she struggled through life and saw all its many twists and turns.
When everything finally settled, her passion still hadn't cooled.
Hanging from a wire rig for fifteen hours straight? No problem.
Getting slapped by a costar until her cheek swelled and reddened? No problem.
Binge-eating for half a month to gain fifteen pounds? Of course.

Later, video compilations of her performances took over every video site.
From a transcendent swordswoman to an ordinary person at the bottom of society, she seemed capable of playing anything.
Viewers lamented that a shining pearl had been hidden away and that she'd lost six golden years.
After Jiang Sui won the Best Actress award, she reposted a video on Weibo.
It was a retrospective of her acting career edited by a fan, titled:
Her on a Stage Before Thousands.
"She came from the vast sea of humanity,
And stepped onto the stage before thousands."
Theme: No matter how hard it gets, never give up on your dreams.
The writing is good and the concept is good. Seeing that this is the only article in the author's column, I feel that I am lucky enough to have encountered the author when he first started writing, and am I lucky enough to accompany the author to stand among "thousands of people" in the future. Big cheers for the author
