In 1966, Ju Ping was born in a military family in Beijing and was the darling of the family. Her parents and brother always gave her delicious food first, so she was regarded as the "little princess" of the family by the whole family.
Although Ju Ping grew up in Beijing, she has the enthusiasm and cheerfulness unique to Shandong girls. She has shown a well-behaved and cute side since she was a child, especially in singing, showing extraordinary talent.
In school, Ju Ping has always served as the literary and artistic committee member of the class, and her clear singing voice often echoes throughout the campus.
At the age of 10, Ju Ping ushered in an important opportunity in her life - she was recommended by the school to participate in the selection of the Youth Choir of the Central People's Radio. Among many artists, her lark-like singing voice and unique voice immediately attracted the attention of the judges and was successfully selected for the choir.
This experience laid a solid foundation for her future career development.
During her days as a choir, Ju Ping had a fulfilling and happy childhood. Rehearsals and performances have taken her love of music to the next level, and this experience has not only enriched her childhood, but also laid a solid foundation for her to become a great presenter.
In 1982, Ju Ping, a junior high school graduate, faced the first important choice in her life. In order to reduce the burden on her family, she chose to be directly admitted to Beijing Preschool Normal School. Here, Ju Ping's talent bloomed again.
With years of choir training, she quickly became the best of the school.
"There is a person named Ju Ping, I heard that the principal will go to listen to her vocal lessons, which is really amazing." Everyone was talking about it in private. Ju Ping's singing voice and talent have spread on campus and planted the seeds for her future career development.
In 1985, Ju Ping graduated from Beijing Preschool Normal and became a kindergarten teacher as she wished. She loved the beautiful feeling of being with the children, and thought that she would work as a kindergarten teacher for the rest of her life.
However, fate has arranged a very different path for her.
When leading children to participate in a gala event, Ju Ping's performance attracted the attention of CCTV host Chen Yi. Her down-to-earth and generous typhoon, gentle and patient attitude towards children, and infectious laughter all left a deep impression on Chen Yi.
He believes that Ju Ping is very suitable for the role of a children's program host.
After the event, Chen Yi found Ju Ping and suggested that she apply for the job of CCTV children's program host. This suggestion surprised and apprehensed Ju Ping. She only has a secondary school diploma, and most of the hosts of CCTV are college students, which makes her feel bottomless.
But with Chen Yi's encouragement, Ju Ping still mustered up the courage to give it a try.
In the interview, Ju Ping impressed the judges with her temperament and smile. Although her education is not high, the leaders of CCTV decided to hire her exceptionally. In 1984, 18-year-old Ju Ping began to work as a host on CCTV Children's Channel and started her hosting career.
Ju Ping quickly took over the "Tangram" program, which is a program for children aged 0-6, including music games, parent-child stories and other content. Ju Ping's playful, cute and aura hosting style quickly won the love of the young audience.
The affectionate title of "Sister Ju Ping" began to spread among families all over the country.
"Tangram" has a staggering 36% of the national ratings, and every time school is over, children from all over the country will stay in front of the TV intently, waiting for Ju Ping's sister to appear.
Because the popularity of television was not high at that time, many children would go to the family with a television to watch the program together.
Ju Ping's affinity has won the love of children and the goodwill of adult audiences. Every day, CCTV receives a large number of letters to Ju Ping, including not only the immature handwriting of children, but also many thank-you letters written by adults.
These loving words became the motivation for Ju Ping to continue to move forward.
In this way, Ju Ping has inadvertently become the most beautiful symbol in the childhood memories of several generations, and is therefore known as one of the pioneers in the field of children's television programs in the mainland. She once said: "If you can't be Sister Ju Ping, you have to try to play the role of sister, aunt, and grandmother, and always be by the children's side."
This sentence has become a true portrayal of her career.
With the popularity of "Tangram", Ju Ping's career has reached unprecedented heights. In 1988, in the first TV host competition held by CCTV, 23-year-old Ju Ping passed all the way with her outstanding performance and finally won the championship.
This achievement not only made Ju Ping famous in the industry, but also strengthened her determination to continue to move forward on the road of hosting.
In 1989, Ju Ping ushered in another major milestone in her career - serving as a host on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time. From the host of children's programs to the host of the Spring Festival Gala, Ju Ping's career is already thriving.
However, when her career was booming, Ju Ping's love life encountered twists and turns. Once, when Ju Ping was picking up shoes at a shoe store, she couldn't decide on her choice. Jiang Qixing, the owner of the shoe store, saw this scene and took the initiative to help.
Jiang Qixing, a native of Beijing, is a military veteran who is handsome in appearance and tall and a big fan of Ju Ping, whom he recognizes at a glance.
Jiang Qixing's words and deeds left a deep impression on Ju Ping. A few days later, Ju Ping unexpectedly received a large package containing more than 20 pairs of shoes of different styles, and all of them were suitable.
It turned out that Jiang Qixing secretly wrote down Ju Ping's size and asked the workers to make it overnight, which moved Ju Ping.
To express her gratitude, Ju Ping invited Jiang Qixing to dinner. As time passed, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate, and the spark of love gradually sparked. When Jiang Qixing proposed to Ju Ping, she gladly accepted.
In the second year after marriage, Ju Ping took her son Jiang Jiyao into the palace of marriage. However, the arrival of motherly love did not bring their marriage closer as she had hoped. Instead, cracks began to appear in their marriage.
As Ju Ping invested more and more in her career, the time spent between husband and wife became shorter and shorter, and the common language became less and less.
At the same time, due to poor management, Jiang Qixing's career fell into a trough. Watching his wife's career flourish, he felt very unbalanced in his heart. The conflict between the two of them is deepening day by day, and they often quarrel over trivial matters.
Ju Ping gradually realizes that the rift between her and her husband seems to be irreconcilable. If we continue to live like this, it will hurt both parties. In the end, in order to free both parties, Ju Ping decided to divorce.
At the time of the divorce, his 6-year-old son Jiang Jiyao became a victim of the breakdown of their marriage. This failed marriage dealt a major blow to Ju Ping, but as a strong woman, she chose to face it bravely and raise her young son alone, while not giving up on her career.
This experience made Ju Ping more mature and laid the groundwork for her future happy life.
After the divorce, Ju Ping began to live as a single parent. She is alone with her 6-year-old son Jiang Jiyao, who has to take care of the children while dealing with busy work, and spends every day on the go.
Fortunately, with the help of her mother's family, otherwise, Ju Ping might be crushed by the burden of life.
As a well-known CCTV host, Ju Ping's work is always hectic, she has to accompany other children on TV every day, but it is difficult for her son to get the same company, even on a special day like Children's Day, she is always running for the show, and she has no time to take care of her children.
This sense of contradiction and guilt filled Ju Ping's heart with pain.
One year, eight-year-old Jiang Jiyao and Ju Ping participated in a show together. When the host asked him, "What do you want most now", Jiang Jiyao innocently replied: "I hope my mother can accompany me all day."
This answer was like a sharp sword, which deeply pierced Ju Ping's heart, and she realized that her dedication in her career was, to some extent, at the expense of her children's company.
Since then, Ju Ping has worked harder to balance work and family, learning how to cherish every moment she can spend with her son, and trying her best to make up for the neglect of her children's time and love due to her busy schedule.
However, the role of a single mother still puts a lot of pressure on her.
During this time, her colleagues in her unit were enthusiastic to introduce her to Ju Ping, but she politely declined. Ju Ping felt that if she remarried, it might bring psychological harm to her son, so she remained single.
She raised her son alone for 6 years, an experience that made her stronger and more mature.
Even though life is difficult, Ju Ping still maintains confidence and hard work, and she firmly believes that as long as she puts in enough love and hard work, she can definitely become an excellent mother and continue to shine in her career.
Her tenacity and dedication not only won the respect of the audience, but also set a strong example for her son.
This experience of raising children alone gave Ju Ping a deeper understanding of life. She has learned how to find a balance between career and family, and she has also cherished the value of family affection.
These valuable experiences laid a solid foundation for her future happy life.
In 2009, 43-year-old Ju Ping met Yang Shuo, a successful businessman, through a friend's introduction. Yang Shuo is from Beijing, he is a steady and generous person, and especially admires Ju Ping's kind and friendly temperament. Ju Ping was also deeply impressed by Yang Shuo and was attracted by his maturity and stability.
However, as a single mother, Ju Ping is still most concerned about her son's feelings. She was worried that remarrying again would bring psychological harm to her son, so she was a little hesitant to enter the marriage hall again.
Yang Shuo was keenly aware of Ju Ping's concerns, and he took the initiative to promise Ju Ping: "We don't have children after we get married, I will treat your son as my own son" These words deeply touched Ju Ping's heart, and she decided to give herself another chance and stepped into the palace of marriage with apprehension.
After marriage, Yang Shuo fulfilled his promise and treated Jiang Jiyao sincerely. He took the initiative to learn about the boy's interests and hobbies and patiently communicated with him. Yang Shuo will take special care of the boy's emotions and will take the initiative to discuss various topics with him.
Under Yang Shuo's care, the boy gradually felt the father's love that he had never had.
On the issue of education, Yang Shuo's views are quite representative. When Jiang Jiyao encountered difficulties in choosing a major in college, Yang Shuo analyzed the difficulty and employment prospects of each major for him in detail, and after in-depth discussions, the father and son decided to let Jiang Jiyao choose a major in finance to prepare for the possibility of taking over his father's career in the future.
With Yang Shuo's careful care, Ju Ping's wounded heart gradually healed, and she had never felt so happy and peaceful. Yang Shuo never quarreled with Ju Ping, and he considered her everywhere in all aspects of his life.
This marriage not only gave Ju Ping a warm home, but also provided Jiang Jiyao with a complete family environment.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Ju Ping is 57 years old. As the "Sister Ju Ping" in the hearts of several generations, she chose to gradually fade out of the screen and give the stage to the younger generation. However, that doesn't mean Ju Ping stops there.
She found a new direction in life and started a new chapter in her career.
As a tutor for master's students majoring in journalism and communication at Zhejiang University of Media and Communication, Ju Ping imparts her accumulated experience and wisdom over the years to students. In her new position, Ju Ping still maintains her affinity and patience.
She cares for every student as if she were her own child, and tries her best to nurture a new generation of media talents.
This new job gave Ju Ping a great sense of accomplishment and made her feel that the value of her life had been extended. Ju Ping once said that she would "always be with children", and now she has fulfilled this promise in another way, continuing to influence the younger generation.
