Feed the pig 13 years old, she stood out among 30 thousand people and became popular overnight. 1999, a girl from rural Hebei became the "ugliest girl" in China. But Zhang Yimou poured cold water on her. What happened to her after 22 years?
Wei Minzhi, 1985, a native of Ningbao Village, Chicheng Town, Hebei Province. His family is poor. Every day, he learned to beat pig grass and feed pigs. The biggest dream of his life is to raise pigs, get married, have children and be a housewife.
However, Zhang Yimou's arrival changed her life.
From 1995 to 1997, it is the low period in Zhang Yimou. In love, the goddess Gong Li, who has been a partner for many years, broke up. There is something to say at the box office. At home, his father died when he went to Italy to direct the opera Turandot, which made Zhang Yimou feel very depressed.
1998 When Zhang Yimou happened to see the novel "There is a Sun in the Sky" by Xinjiang writer Shi Xiangsheng, she was deeply moved by the story that the substitute female teacher tried to keep every student, and decided to return to her original heart and let the audience see the real rural movie.
In this way, Wei Minzhi was selected by Zhang Yimou and became the heroine-substitute teacher in the movie No Child Left Behind.
On September 7th 1999, No Child Left Behind was released, which was a national hit. Zhang Yimou won ten awards with this film.
At that time, Wei Minzhi, who was 14 years old, as the "ugliest girl", also reached the peak of fire, was invited by many film and television dramas, and began to squander flowers and gradually became attractive. Zhang Yimou, however, takes a long-term view and doesn't want her to enter the entertainment circle. Instead, she settled down, studied hard and went to college.
Gracian of Spain said, "Know your own personality, intelligence, judgment and emotions. If you don't know yourself, you can't control yourself. "
Fortunately, Wei Minzhi, a young girl who has never seen the world, was not blinded by her short-lived charm. She has also begun to treat it calmly, and when she encounters waves of beatings and hot air temptation, she seriously thinks and chooses carefully.
Wei Minzhi finally listened to Zhang Yimou's good intentions, went to school well and embarked on a road suitable for his own development. Otherwise, it would have become a bubble under the wave of entertainment.
There are too many people in life who have never resisted vanity, refused temptation and finally lost themselves in the face of fame and fortune. This shows how important it is to be clear-headed and cognitively correct.

As it happens, Zhai Zhigang, the chairman of Shijiazhuang Elite Middle School, was very moved to see "No One Can Be Less". He decided to let Wei Minzhi go to school for free and subsidize 300 yuan's living expenses every month.
In this way, Wei Minzhi, with her indomitable strength, was admitted to an elite middle school three years later. When she volunteered in senior three, she also had a dream of directing.
However, the director's dream attracted many people's opposition, especially some people ridiculed that she was only famous for a movie and really thought she was a genius.
In the darkest time of life, Wang Guozhen's poem "Learn to Wait" greatly comforted and inspired her: "You should learn to wait and arrange yourself, but you don't need too much alcohol to succeed. If you want to be a hero, you might as well be a bear first, fearing that you don't care about anything. There is no bridge on the river, so you can wait for the ice to freeze. It's dawn after a long night. "
Opportunity is really waiting for her. Xi Foreign Language Xiying Media extended an olive branch to her. As long as she passes the art test of our school and reaches the admission score of the college entrance examination, she can be admitted and be exempted from tuition and fees of 1 1000 yuan per year.
In order not to miss the opportunity, Wei Minzhi used up three flashlights three months before the college entrance examination, and read until late at night every day.
Many things happen. Wei Minzhi was admitted to the director department of Xiying Media College of Xi International Studies University with a high score of 460 points in the culture class, which exceeded the score of 200 points in the art test line at that time.
Wei Minzhi, who was admitted to Xiwai University, was invited by a film and television company in Xi in her sophomore year to appear in the TV series Mother's Wish independently. Later, she made her college entrance examination experience into a movie "Night Fairy Tale".
It happens that Brigham Young University in the United States is looking for poverty all over the world and learning excellent students to be exchange students. Chen Ergang, a professor at Brigham Young University who came to China to study and exchange, happened to watch the movie No Child Left Behind.
After talking with Wei Minzhi, he found that the girl was as persistent and full of dreams as the substitute teacher in the movie.
So he suggested to Wei Minzhi that he could come to Brigham Young University only if his English reached the standard.
The opportunity came to Wei Minzhi again, and she chose to seize it again. At first, she made up her English day and night. Two years later, when Chen Ergang saw Wei Minzhi again, she was shocked by her fluent American English.
Later, in the exchange exam of Brigham Young University in the United States, Wei Minzhi was successfully admitted with the highest scores in written and oral exams. With the help of Chen Ergang, she also applied for a full scholarship, and her life began a new chapter.
If there is light in Wei Minzhi's eyes, the Bole she met is the fuel to ignite her light, so that she can continue to shine and bravely pursue her dreams.
The reward of life is far at the end of the journey, not near the starting point. You don't know how many steps you have to take to reach your goal, but success is just around the corner, and you never know how far it is unless you turn the corner.
She surprised the years with her actions again and again. This rustic rural girl, like a metamorphosed caterpillar, has become a beautiful butterfly dancing in the sun.

In 2006, Wei Minzhi came to Brigham Young University to study media and television. While studying, she never misses any internship opportunities, such as shooting, editing and directing. She is not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and she is willing to do any work.
At Brigham Young University, Wei Minzhi also met Liu Jinhui, a sunny and capable American Chinese, and gradually fell in love and gained his own love.
In 2008, after graduating from Wei Minzhi University, she chose to stay there and worked as an assistant director and editor in the Media Department of Brigham Young University.
Subsequently, with the blessing of both parents, Wei Minzhi and Liu Jinhui entered a sweet marriage hall, and after marriage, they gave birth to two lovely babies. The family of four were happy and were the real winners in life.
When Wei Minzhi met Zhang Yimou on 20 10, it was at the press conference of the 30th Hawaiian International Film Festival. At that time, Zhang Yimou was using his new love, Zhou Dongyu, to launch his new book "Love of Hawthorn Tree".
When Wei Minzhi asked Zhang Yimou a question in fluent English, Zhang Yimou was very surprised and sighed, "You were only 14 years old when you made a movie with me. Now it makes me feel like a dream. "
Reading can change fate. With one percent luck, Wei Minzhi worked tirelessly to ninety-nine percent until he finally succeeded.
I hope that every ordinary person, like Wei Minzhi, can have a clear goal, see the direction clearly, find the best choice for himself, bravely pursue his dreams and win a wonderful life.
15 years ago, the college entrance examination deliberately handed in a blank piece of Jiang Duoduo, and she could only look at the distance gloomily, where she had her original dream, because she didn't see the direction clearly and was young, which made her lose valuable reading opportunities.
Today, Jiang Duoduo is married and has children, and lives in a backward small village with his family. Like her ancestors, she lives a monotonous life, and she has no ability to change herself.
Therefore, if you want to make your life smooth and prove that you are a piece of pure gold, you should accept the reality instead of complaining pessimistically. Complaining will only make your heart hurt more and make your life worse.
Stick to dreams, dreams are very important things in life. Only dreams can make us change, only dreams can make us see hope, and only dreams can make us creative.
Lin Qingxuan said that if a person doesn't have a dream, life will begin to become sad after 30 years old, because after 30 years old, life will go downhill and die step by step.
So people should keep forward posture until the moment of death.
