His family was poor and his childhood was bumpy

To make matters worse, Zhang Shaohua's father died of illness when she was 3 years old. Then, her mother had to remarry, and the 9 brothers and sisters also grew up in the bumps.
Zhang Shaohua recalled his childhood, once said: "When I was a child, the conditions at home were bitter, a piece of mooncake was divided into four pieces, the children in the family were divided, and every bite was in the mouth for half a day and was reluctant to swallow, if you can eat a piece of rock sugar inside, you will be happier." ”
Contact with drama review, hard work
For family reasons, Zhang Shaohua has had a mind that surpasses his peers since he was a child. In order to reduce the burden on his family, 13-year-old Zhang Shaohua was admitted to the Beijing Critics Theater, studied hard, and later became a professional critic.

Mr. Zhang Shaohua went from a poor childhood to a nationally renowned old drama bone, relying on her precious qualities - persistence, hard work...
