In 2011, a girl named Su Zizi set up a big fish tank in the downtown area.
In front of the large fish tank, two simple stools are placed, one step apart from each other.
Whenever a reporter finds Su Zizi, she will make a special request: to participate in the filming of her latest work. She sat naked on a stool, and reporters took turns coming across from her to conduct interviews face-to-face.
At that time, a male reporter interviewed Su Zizi, and Su Zizi saw the male reporter and said: "I dare to look at you calmly, do you dare to look at me?" ”
This sentence instantly broke the awkward atmosphere and made people's hearts tremble......
Painful upbringing
Su Zizi's original name was Wang Yanyun, and her childhood was not happy.
Her parents separated when she was young, leaving her young to live with her grandmother.
Although her grandmother loves her, she can't provide enough financial support, and the burden of life makes little Wang Yanyun understand what responsibility is early.
She often felt lonely, and no one seemed to be able to understand her feelings in this small world.
While her classmates at school are enjoying their carefree youth, she has to work after school to ease the burden on her family.
This life made her gradually rebellious.
She longs to be recognized, to be able to change her destiny through her own efforts. In order to get rid of this oppressive life, Wang Yanyun did not give up studying, and with her own talent and hard work, she was successfully admitted to Xu Beihong Art College of Chinese People's University.
Here, she is looking forward to finding her own space to pursue higher ideals.
However, fate doesn't seem to be kind to her for this. In the world of art, true freedom and creativity often come with great challenges and tests.
Her early experiences created mixed emotions in her, with a desire to express herself and a fear of being rejected by society.
In the midst of such contradictions, she began to think: how can we truly live a wonderful life in our own way without being defined by the outside world? This question kept echoing in her heart, and it became an important turning point in her future choices.
The decision to enter the modeling industry
In the university's art school, Wang Yanyun was constantly exposed to various art forms, but the economic pressure still followed.
In order to improve her family's plight, she began to consider a variety of part-time jobs.
By chance, she received a phone call: "Can you do a human body?" 500 yuan per day for 10 days of continuous shooting. ”
At first, the choice unnerved her, and she faced a moral and economic entanglement. In her inner struggle, the temptation of the economy continues to erode her moral bottom line.
In the end, Wang Yanyun decided to use "Su Zizi" as her stage name to conceal her true identity and stepped into this controversial industry.
The first time she took the shot, she was filled with shame and nervousness, but the photographer's encouragement and friendly attitude allowed her to gradually let go of the burden in her heart.
Through the lens, she discovers the connection between herself and her body, and gradually feels a sense of freedom and expression that she has never felt before. With the completion of the work, Su Zizi received good feedback and her career began to take off.
However, the road has not been easy.
First of all, during the shooting process, some photographers may ask her to pose badly, although she refused, but on the photographer's side, her "behavior" has obviously been "qualified", "pretending to be pure...... this kind of words, Su Zizi heard it more than once.
And then as her reputation grew, the evaluation of her on and off campus became more complicated.
She changed from an ordinary student to the focus of public opinion, and many people began to look at her in strange eyes, and gossip on campus followed.
But Su Zizi did not back down, on the contrary, she was more determined in her choice and determined to respond to those negative voices in her own way.
The whirlpool of public opinion and resistance
Su Zizi's art exhibition has become an important platform for her to dialogue with society.
In 2010, as a mannequin, she held her first solo art exhibition, trying to challenge people's perceptions of the body and self with these works.
However, the response to the exhibition far exceeded her expectations.
Many photos were maliciously disseminated and even became the target of cyber attacks, and the whirlpool of public opinion made her feel unprecedented pressure.
In the face of endless accusations and condemnations.
At that time, people were still very sensitive to the profession of "mannequins".
For this reason, Su Zizi chose to face the media directly, which also led to the scene of the downtown we mentioned at the beginning.
It was in 2011, when Su Zizi, who was only 20 years old, used a fish tank as a material in a downtown area, and was interviewed and photographed by reporters naked.
During this period, a male reporter also came to interview Su Zizi.
Su Zizi did not show timidity, but she said frankly to the male reporter: "I dare to look at you calmly, do you dare to look at me?" ”
This courageous voice is not only an affirmation of one's choice, but also a strong counterattack against social prejudice.
She uses her body and art to convey a power of resistance, calling for people to re-examine the body and art.
However, this courage did not win public understanding, but only intensified the attacks.
Every public opinion storm is like a storm, impacting her heart. But instead of choosing to remain silent, she continued to explore the path of art, trying to draw more people's attention to the issue of body and self-identity.
Reinventing oneself and pursuing art
After experiencing the storm of public opinion, Su Zizi realized that she needed to make a bolder decision.
Eventually, she chose to drop out of school to focus on her performance art and continue to pursue her dreams.
This decision brought her to a new stage in her artistic practice, and she began to delve into the relationship between self-identity and social standards, trying to explore the dialogue between body and soul through art.
In this process, Su Zizi published a number of autobiographical books, such as "I Am Su Zizi" and "Su Zizi's Diary", sharing her experiences and thoughts.
Her works are not only a reflection on society, but also a reinvention of self again and again. Through words and art, she presents her true self to the world, challenging worldly perceptions and prejudices.
Su Zizi's story is no longer an individual struggle, but a profound reflection on the overall concept of society, and her perseverance and courage have touched many people.
In her own way, Su Zizi has brought inspiration to society, conveying an open attitude to people and calling for people to re-examine the relationship between the body and art.
Her influence in the art world has continued to expand, and she has become a courageous spokesperson, inspiring more people to pursue their dreams and identity.
While her career is in full swing, Su Zizi's love life is also vigorous and full of twists and turns.
At first, she secretly married a successful artist in 2012. After getting married, she found that her husband's feelings for her were not sincere, but only out of need for her.
Although she lives in a spacious residence near Chaoyang Park, her inner loneliness makes her feel helpless. After a heated argument, she was overwhelmed and chose to divorce and embark on a similar path to her parents' marriage.
The end of her first marriage did not make Su Zizi feel relieved, but made her more eager to find her true belonging.
After the divorce, she met Lao Zou by chance, an artist older than her, and they were looking for solace in each other. Lao Zou embraced everything she had, including her rebellion and uneasiness.
Their relationship began with a shared passion for art and creation, and gradually developed into a deep emotion, and Su Zizi felt a long-lost warmth.
However, with the birth of the child, the relationship between Su Zizi and Lao Zou gradually changed.
With a thriving career, she is often busy with work, and Lao Zou hopes that she can return to her family and take care of her children.
This change of roles gradually revealed the contradictions between the two, and each other's lifestyles once again became a source of conflict.
In 2018, they finally came to the crossroads of divorce, and Su Zizi felt extremely heavy after going through the divorce procedures.
After two failed marriages, Su Zizi finally realized that what she really longed for was reconciliation with her mother.
The moment she hugged her mother, she felt the warmth she hadn't felt for a long time. Her life gradually settled, her mother was by her side to take care of her daughter, and their relationship gradually evolved from strange to sisterly close.
Today's Su Zizi, who takes care of both career and family, is no longer a simple housewife, but a woman with an independent life.
Her children have become the center of her life, and the company of her mother has allowed her to regain the warmth and support she once lost, and everything will get better and better......
