In 2004, when "Country Love" was on the air, the actor Wang Yabin made an astonishing decision - to quit the filming of the show. The news came as a shock to viewers and industry insiders alike.
Almost no one could have predicted that the reason why Wang Yabin decided to give up this role was to pursue his dance dream. This decision seemed a bit bizarre at the time, and some people even thought that she was destroying the foundation of her career on her own.
However, today, 14 years later, when we re-examine Wang Yabin's choice back then, we may have a different view. We reveal the story behind this young woman's decision in the face of fame, fortune and dreams.
Wang Yabin's dance journey began in Tianjin in 1990. That year, at the age of 6, she stood in front of the mirror of the dance studio for the first time, imitating the movements of her teacher, her eyes flashing with her innocent love for dance.
Although the family is not well-off, the parents grit their teeth and support her to learn when they see their daughter's enthusiasm for dance, and every time they see their daughter practicing seriously in the dance studio, the parents will have a happy smile on their faces.
Three years later, nine-year-old Wang Yabin ushered in a major turning point in his life and was successfully admitted to the High School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy with his outstanding performance. With anticipation and apprehension, she left her familiar hometown and came to the unfamiliar Beijing.
However, her study life was far more difficult than she imagined.
At the High School Attached to the Beijing Dance Academy, 11-year-old Wang Yabin became the youngest student. The classmates around her are all teenagers, but she is just a little girl. The age gap has caused her a lot of trouble, and teachers and classmates often think that she is too young and immature.
Daily training was a huge challenge for her, especially in the cold winter months, when there was only ice-cold water in the bathroom, and she often shivered from the cold.
However, these difficulties did not defeat Wang Yabin, but inspired her to become more motivated. She wakes up earlier and goes to bed later than everyone else, just to practice a little more. Her efforts soon paid off.
At the age of 12, Wang Yabin stood out in the school dance competition and became a little star on campus in one fell swoop, and this success not only gave her great encouragement, but also strengthened her love and pursuit of dance.
Looking back on this experience, we can clearly see Wang Yabin's extreme love and dedication to dance.
