The Life of the Characters in Mao Weihui's Works

"I'm a dandelion seed, and no one knows my happiness and sadness ..." The movie Rain at Night more than 20 years ago set countless cinemas ablaze, touched countless people in China and made everyone remember the girl with big eyes, Mao Weihui.

Today, this 6-year-old girl is a famous American pianist and a professor at the University of Southern California. Mao Weihui, dressed in black and with big eyes, reveals the artist's light ... Time and music have infiltrated the famous child stars in the 1980s into maturity, elegance and atmosphere.

Mao Weihui is the granddaughter of Mao Yisheng, the "father of Chinese Bridge". Her father is a violinist and her mother is a piano teacher. She learned to play the violin when she was 3 years old, and then she changed to play the piano.

"When I was five years old, Cao, the photographer of the movie From Slave to General, went to my neighbor's house and saw my photo under the glass plate of my desk. I found that Zhang Jinling was as big as my eyes, so I asked my parents to let me play a role in the movie, and my parents agreed. " Mao Weihui's first role is a child in his parents' arms. As long as she cried desperately, she didn't say a word, but many staff members remembered the little girl with big eyes.

A year later, director Wu found Mao Weihui, hoping that she would play a little girl in a new movie-the movie is Rain at Night. Mao Weihui expressed a young child who had a hard life and looked for his father alone in a rich and touching way, so she won the Best Supporting Actress Award in the first Chinese Golden Rooster Award. After many years, fans still have not forgotten the "Little Juanzi": "Every time I perform in China, there will always be old audiences coming to me for autographs. What they are holding is not my program or record, but my photos, posters and monthly cards in popular movies. Once, after my performance, a 6-year-old child came to sign a contract with a popular movie, saying that his mother called him. " Mao Weihui was too excited to know what to say.

The late rain became a happy memory of Mao Weihui. Last time CCTV was in love, it once made a special program of Late Rain. Mao Weihui was invited to attend and met Li Zhiyu, Zhang Yu, Ruqiu Ouyang and others whom he had not seen for many years. In this film, Mao Weihui and Li Zhiyu play a father and daughter. Because of the special fate of the late rain, she has always been called Li Zhiyu's father, and she has to contact "Dad" every time she returns to China.

Now mentioning this experience as a child star, Mao Weihui thinks it is a very interesting episode in her life, which has laid a solid foundation for her future performance without stage fright.
