“If my son can get good schooling”
“I’m willing to get a fight”
“Or get down on my knees”
Being a mom is an amazing experience in my life
Then why not show people what it’s like
Why should I refuse this role
There’s no reason
Zhou Nannan is just an ordinary bank clerk
She raises her son by herself
She sends him into a kindergarten which usually enrolls children from elite families
They are not as rich as other families
Then a series of stories happen
I read the script for the first time
Around 3-4 years ago
I just became a mother
But I was not mentally prepared
To play a mother
A few years later
When I read the script again, I was deeply touched
And my children were about to go to primary school
So I had the same experience
As the character had
In the drama
It’s quite like my own diary
I had to take the chance
“The number of places available decreases”
“Xiao yang is a transfer student”
“But he is competing with your children”
There’re also several other families in the drama
Stay-at-home moms, career women
There’s a truth about a group chat of moms
Everyone says “we did nothing”
But they actually worked so hard
“Today is the opening day of the kindergarten”
“You don’t know about it?”
“Oh my god, I forgot it”
Zhou Nannan is a little abrupt and rash
She breaks traditions in the small circle of mothers
Actually I had the same experience
There were 4 children in the class which my kids went to
A mother handed in the homework
Within 15 minutes after class
And the due date was the next Friday
Then I asked that mother
If she could hand in the homework privately
Instead of into the group chat
Otherwise we would feel great pressure
The whole drama was shot in Shanghai
And I lived in Shanghai
So I actually went from my real home to my home in the drama
And every day was so sweet
So warm
They are excellent actresses and we all have children
The plots are so familiar to us
They happen in our daily life
Their children may be older than mine
And they teached me a lot of things
We chatted and acted
Yesterday I asked lots of friends to post about the drama on Weibo
They asked why I played a role of mother
I said “Isn’t a mom great?”
They all agreed
Compared to my past roles
Zhou Nannan means a breakthrough to me
But I’m quite like her
Some say children need parental company
But I’m too busy to be by their side every day
I think what matters is the thing you do with them
Every winter they go to ski with me
My son is curious
Because I always go to the higher hill
He go up by cable with me
He insists on seeing me skiing down
Although he cannot do it by himself
He’s like
“Wow. If you can do it”
“I can do it too in the future”
Children need to grow up happily and healthily
And parents should not be exhausted physically and mentally
Never let such things to get in the way
Of your relationship
People feel I become younger and younger
Because I played a woman in her 30s
When I was 23
Attractive and sexy women
I was pushed to do that
I tried hard
I might succeed
But you know it felt not that way
And I believe that
I can do it better now
To me
Variety shows are like parties
I’m quite relaxed in them
After reaching a certain age
You would find there’re fewer and fewer things for which you have passion
While I still feel alive
And full of blood
I think I should do as much as possible
While I’m not working, I live my life
Making it colorful
I shouldn’t waste my time
On the things that make me unhappy
Because happy hours are much less now
Females can extend their life in many aspects, levels and ways
Don’t just stuck in there
You will never know what’s gonna happen the next second
It will be amazing
