Yang Lan is undoubtedly one of the most successful women in China.

She is intellectual and elegant, with many labels around her, such as female entrepreneurs, program hosts and media people. ...

At the age of 22, Yang Lan became the host of CCTV Zhengda Variety Show, and has been active in the media ever since. In her interview with Yang Lan, she interviewed Hillary, Soros, park geun-hye and other celebrities and politicians from all over the world.

She has helped bid for the Olympic Games as a representative for three times.

Behind these identities, she is also the mother of two children.

After the baby was born, she stopped all her work and concentrated on taking care of the baby at home. She feels that nothing is more important than being a "mother" because she shoulders the responsibility of educating her children.

And Yang Lan himself was born in a loving family.

0 1

Yang Lan, a Beijinger, 1968 was born in a Kochi family. Before long, she became a left-behind child.

My father is an expert in foreign aid. He worked abroad and didn't see his daughter born. Mother wanted to go to school, so she sent Yang Lan to her grandmother's house in Shanghai.

Grandma is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and was born in 19 1 1. /kloc-When she was 0/7 years old, she fled to Shanghai by boat and swimming to avoid the arranged marriage at home. After knowing grandpa, the couple started from scratch and opened a small tailor's shop, which specializes in sewing handkerchiefs.

Originally, my grandmother's living conditions were acceptable, but in that special era, after the house was confiscated, many strangers moved in.

Yang Lan and her grandparents huddled in the attic of a narrow alley. The attic is so low that adults can't stand straight when they go in.

Although grandma can't read, she is a very ordinary rural old lady, but she is very capable. The home is full of bottles and jars, all of which are preserved vegetables such as dried bamboo shoots, dried soybeans and dried plums that can be stored for a long time.

I can't afford fresh peaches. Every time grandma buys some peaches that are not so good in appearance but not completely rotten, Yang Lan and grandma peel and cut them into pieces to make jam.

Grandma is an optimistic and cheerful person. Many children lived a hard life when she was young. During the Chinese New Year, she still wants to perm her hair, put on a new cotton-padded jacket sewn by herself and take a family photo.

Now living in the attic, my grandmother never frowns. She often said that life comes day by day, and sadness is also a day. Be happy.

When I was a child, Yang Lan was a "follower" behind my grandmother.

Grandma took several jobs, mainly making clothes in a clothing store. After work, she went to the vegetable market to help people peel shrimps.

In summer, Yang Lan listened to birds and insects in the attic, and grandma shook the cattail leaf fan beside her. In winter, wearing the cotton-padded clothes sewn by grandma, the family huddled together to keep warm.

Although she doesn't live in her own home, grandma's house makes Yang Lan feel helpless. These experiences are the deepest memories of Yang Lan's childhood.

It was not until 10 that Yang Lan was taken back to Beijing and returned to her parents.

The illiterate grandmother's firm and optimistic attitude towards life also influenced Yang Lan.

After his father returned to China, he worked as a teacher in Beijing Foreign Studies School. When Yang Lan went to school, she found that the English the teacher read was beyond her comprehension. Strong, she told her father that she also wanted to learn English.

Her father encouraged her to be familiar with pronunciation and grammar if she wanted to learn well.

Yang Lan listens to his father's advice and gets up early for half an hour every day, reading silently. After a while, Yang Lan was among the best in the English exam.

For learning, Yang Lan has always said that he is not a talented player. She often finishes her exams by rote, but her academic performance has always been good.

After studying, what Yang Lan likes best is to observe plants in the small garden in front of her house. She told her father that she wanted to be a botanist when she grew up.

My father was very happy to hear that. He just asked her what kind of knowledge she needed to become a botanist. Yang Lan answered with her own understanding, knowing the different characteristics, growing environment and so on of various plants.

Father nodded and said, little botanist, you should observe plants from now on.

The small garden at home became Yang Lan's paradise. In order to compare different flowers, she also wrote a note to record, often lying on the ground, observing for half a day.

Sometimes I dirty my new clothes and the leaves of plants cut my fingers. My mother loves her daughter dearly, but she doesn't blame her. She just helped her change clothes, treated the wound and told her to be careful next time.

After years of separation, Yang Lan finally returned to her parents. In fact, there was a gap between her and her parents, but her mother was tolerant and gentle, and she quickly integrated into the "new" home.

Childhood had a great influence on Yang Lan, and her parents used their words and deeds to guide Yang Lan imperceptibly.

Parents always feel indebted to their daughters, so they try their best to make up for it in life.

Once, my mother bought a particularly beautiful hairpin for Yang Lan. Little vanity made Yang Lan can't help but take it to school and show it off in front of her classmates. Who knows, the students are fighting and the hairpin is broken.

Yang Lan was annoyed and sad, afraid that her mother would blame her. Who knows, when I came home from school, my mother learned about the hairpin incident, not only did she not blame Yang Lan, but also comforted her that she had "magic power" to restore the hairpin to its original state.

Without saying anything, mother glued the hairpin. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that it is sticky. However, Yang Lan is still very sad. She thinks the stuck hairpin is too ugly.

Mother thought of a way to wrap a small piece of silk into a bow to cover the broken part of the hairpin and let Yang Lan turn anger into joy.

Mother also took the opportunity to educate her daughter by issuing cards, and must not take detours. Even if she turns back, it is impossible to change back to the original appearance, just like a broken hairpin.

At the same time, when people encounter difficulties, don't give up, but think more ways, just like a bow on a hairpin.

Yang Lan didn't quite understand her mother's words, but she knew how to help her grandmother since she was a child, and now she knows how to be her mother's little helper.

Once Yang Lan went to buy tofu, thinking that she used to eat old tofu, but now she sells tender tofu, so she wanted to buy it and try it. As a result, she didn't know how to tell anyone, only said to buy it.

Tofu boss asked Yang Lan for food stamps. Yang Lan is puzzled. She thinks tofu is a dish. Why did she use food stamps? What did the shopkeeper say he bought without food stamps? Say that finish busy greeting others, also didn't pay much attention to Yang Lan.

Yang Lan feels very hurt. After returning home, she reported the experience of buying tofu to her mother and expressed her dissatisfaction: her parents have been educating her to be kind to others, and her attitude of buying tofu herself is obviously good. Why is the shopkeeper unfriendly and looks so fierce?

Mother patiently reasoned with her daughter, saying that maybe the shopkeeper was too busy with business that day and didn't care about you;

It is also possible that his own personality is like this, without much malice.

But think about it, if you make it clear what you want like others, will others sell you tofu like others?

After listening to her mother's analysis, Yang Lan felt reasonable and took the initiative to tell her that she was also wrong. I have no life experience before, I don't know how to get food stamps to buy tofu, and I haven't made it clear to the shopkeeper, which leads me to sulk here.

Mother was very pleased to see her daughter reasonable. Mom also said that maybe not everyone is as polite and friendly as us, but anyway, we should understand others' feelings and tolerate others. Kindness is the background of our life.

Yang Lan benefited a lot from her parents' words and deeds. After she became a mother herself, she continued this tolerant and relaxed family atmosphere.

At school, Yang Lan wanted to be a botanist. At the same time, she is interested in history and wants to be a historian. But my father was worried that these two subjects would not be very good for employment in the future, so he advised his daughter to go her own way and learn English.

At that time, with the comprehensive development of reform and opening up, my father thought that learning English could give full play to what he had learned. Following his father's advice, Yang Lan applied for the English Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University and minored in international economics.

Upon graduation, Yang Lan stood out from more than 1000 people with her excellent English ability and became the host of Zhengda Variety Show.

At the age of 26, Yang Nan won the Golden Microphone Award, the highest award in the host industry.

At this time, she made a jaw-dropping decision. She quit her job at CCTV and chose to study abroad.

While studying abroad, Yang Nan met a rich man named Wu Zhi. After a year of communication, 1995, 101October 27th, Yang Lan and Wu Zhi joined hands to enter the marriage hall.

1996, when her son was born, Yang Lan stopped all her work and took care of the baby at home for a whole year.

Long before the baby was born, Yang Lan bought a diary. She wrote down all the surprising actions after her son was born, his growth and changes, his first call to mom and dad, his first walk with his legs stretched, and interesting stories when he was a child.

On her son's 18 birthday, Yang Lan gave her her diary as a gift. My son has locked himself in his room for over an hour. After reading his diary, he came out and gave Yang a big hug.

For Yang Lan, this is more meaningful than any gift.

In fact, Yang Lan was not a natural "perfect player" when she was a mother.

Like other parents, Yang Lan hopes that children will study more, learn more and be influenced by art.

The child has signed up for several classes since he was four or five years old.

She once proudly said that when her son was learning the piano, there were more than 100 students in the class, and she had the highest attendance rate among all parents.

However, Yang Lan's pride and excitement didn't last long, and she was quickly beaten back to her original shape by her son's words.

A piano teacher once asked his son why he studied piano. Honestly, kid. My mother told me to study.

In fact, my son is not interested, and practicing piano day after day is getting more and more irritable.

Yang Lan doesn't understand why other children can't learn anything by sitting all day.

Like other parents, Yang Lan once yelled at his son, even hysterically yelling to learn the piano.

Until that day, my son finally said, "I want to smash the piano."

Yang suddenly woke up. It turns out that his son didn't just sit back and wait. He really doesn't like this. If he continues, both mother and child will suffer, and there will be no peace at home. So Yang Lan decisively stopped his son's piano class.

Yang Lan didn't expect that her daughter was very interested in the piano that her son would never learn.

June 5438 +2000 10, when her daughter was born, Yang Lan, who had always insisted on breastfeeding, had to be weaned three months after her daughter was born.

At that time, it was the time for Beijing to bid for the Olympic Games. As an ambassador for the Olympic bid, Yang Lan had to work quickly and travel between Beijing and Shanghai.

To this end, Yang Lan has always felt that she owes her daughter. Fortunately, my daughter also inherited Yang Lan's optimistic and cheerful personality. During the Beijing Olympic Games, my daughter joked that she also contributed to the Olympic bid.

The birth of her daughter made Yang Lan's "mother" identity more complete. She said that she learned a lot from children.

At that time, my son had only studied piano for one year, and he didn't want to learn it any more. I didn't expect my daughter to dance with excitement as soon as she sat on the piano stool. Since then, she has been fascinated by playing all kinds of songs by herself.

After practicing piano lessons every day, my daughter doesn't want to get off the piano stool, and she never needs her parents to urge her. She will also take the initiative to play for a while.

Yang Lan once again lamented that parents really can't be too self-righteous and can't impose what they think is right on their children.

If the child is interested, he will certainly not learn so painfully. As the mother of two children, Yang Lan admits that it is the children who make her better.

At a school get-together, Yang Lan, as a parent representative, needed to make a short speech at the meeting. Yang Lan, who often lectures at school and has experienced numerous big scenes after work, felt unprecedented tension for the first time.

She is worried that she doesn't speak enough, the teacher is not satisfied, and she is afraid that she talks too much and makes her parents feel too melodramatic. In either case, Yang Lan is worried that his poor performance will bring shame to his son.

Yang Lan often said that it is children who urge themselves to keep learning and keep up with their own steps.

When children are older, they have their own views on various phenomena. At this time, parents are the best teachers. It is very important to give children correct guidance and analysis with their own knowledge and experience.

To the audience, Yang Lan is an intellectual and elegant host and a successful female entrepreneur, but to her, she is herself and the mother of two children. This identity makes her life more colorful.
