In the winter of that year, all the leaves of the sycamore tree at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama had fallen. The 18-year-old nursery rhyme stood in the cold wind, waiting for someone who she thought would bring surprises.
She didn't know that this phone call would bring her life to the lowest point, and she didn't know that many years later, she would emerge from this shadow and step by step towards her own light.
Nursery rhymes have been the kind of "other people's children" since childhood.
When she was studying dance at an art school in Kunming, she was always the first one to go to the practice room. The sweat on the barre witnessed a girl's entire longing for the future.
When she was 17 years old, relying on her solid dance skills, she was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, and became a classmate of Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe.
Since she looks a bit like Zhang Ziyi, everyone calls her "Little Zhang Ziyi". This title contains goodwill and expectations.
The first turning point in life often comes unexpectedly.
During her freshman year, Tong Yao got the opportunity to star in "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", and the school created a precedent for her that had never been seen before.
She, who was on the set, met Zhang Mo. They were both students at the Central Academy of Drama. They had countless topics to talk about, and they quickly got together and became friends.
At that time, she felt that this was what youth should be like, with the pursuit of dreams, the attachment of love, and a future full of endless possibilities.
But love is not always what you imagine.
Zhang Mo's temper got worse and worse, and once he even poured hot tea on her.
The nursery rhyme offered forgiveness and tolerance again and again, and hoped for a change again and again. Until that afternoon, what was waiting for her at the school gate was not a surprise, but a terrible nightmare.
When she was beaten until she was dizzy, she said something like, "Can you let me rest for 10 minutes before fighting again?" Years later, people who read this story will feel pain in their hearts.
At the darkest moment in her life, Tong Yao was lying in the hospital. She couldn't figure out why love turned into what it is now.
What made her even more unexpected was that such a turmoil caused her to offend the entire Beijing circle. No crew dared to use her, and her acting career entered a dead end.
Those who once called her "Little Zhang Ziyi" now only sigh when mentioning her.
But what she didn't know was that her fate was turning quietly.
In 2012, Tongyao met Wang Ran.
This man, seventeen years older than her, is a talented man who graduated from Harvard. The Yikai Capital he founded is quite famous in the industry.
What makes nursery rhymes excited is not these auras, but the words he said to her: "Don't worry about the opinions of the outside world. As my girlfriend, if I praise others, then who should I praise?".
The warmth in ordinary days is accumulated little by little.
Wang Ran did not ask Tong Yao to take care of her husband and raise children at home, but supported her to continue acting.
From the beginning of "Military Ge Erdan" to "Dajiang Dahe", from "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" to "Thirty Only", nursery rhymes have been expressed in works with solid footprints one after another.
In 2019, they held their wedding at an Italian castle, and the person who officiated the wedding was well-known investor Xu Xiaoping.
That day, nursery rhyme smiled like a child who finally waited for candy.
When Tong Yao received the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress, her expression showed a slightly embarrassed look. She probably recalled the hardships of the past years.
In 2022, with the work "Thirty Only", she successfully won the Magnolia TV series. Since then, she has finally stopped being called "Little Zhang Ziyi" and has become an actress.
Some people say that she can "change her status after getting married", but she is the only one who knows that opportunities are given by others, but every role is obtained through her own hard work.
The shining points in life are often hidden in the most ordinary moments.
Today's nursery rhymes share daily life on social media from time to time, including a cup of coffee, a book, and a lazy afternoon.
She talked about the rather bleak youthful years in the past, her tone was very calm, and said: "Everyone will encounter a difficult and difficult road, just walk through it.".
Wang Ran is right, don't care about other people's opinions.
The stories told in nursery rhymes tell us that the road in life is not in vain, and those obstacles that are considered difficult to overcome will eventually turn into steps leading to the light.
That girl, when she was 18 years old, was knocked down in winter at the entrance of Zhong Opera. Now, she has stood up and continues to move forward with the gifts given by the years.
This is probably the warmest aspect of life. No matter what you have experienced in the past, as long as you don't give up, you will eventually meet the person who is willing to hold an umbrella for you, and you will always meet a better self at a certain corner.
