20 10, on the red carpet of the American Music Awards Ceremony, Ye Liu, as the only invited host in China, delivered the voice of China to the world; In 20 12, during the London Olympic Games, she went to the UK for a two-month in-depth filming and interviewed British political and business leaders such as the mayor of the City of London. During the 20 13 Winter Davos Economic Forum, she went to the venue to make a series of programs on Ip Man Davos. From a little girl who can't even speak the simplest English sentences fluently to a famous financial program host who can interview and talk in fluent English, it took Ye Liu less than four years to complete the most gorgeous turn. What kind of mental journey has she experienced during this period? What kind of power makes this weak girl next door mature and powerful?

Pursuing the "cross-border" of dreams

Ye Liu was an active and good student when he was a child. He likes dreams, adventures and travel. He has been the artistic backbone of the school since primary school. Dance company leaders, choir leaders, recitation group leaders, announcers, presenters, etc. are all included. Nevertheless, she didn't neglect her studies, but she was a three-good student every year.

In his junior year, Ye Liu entered the news commentary department of CCTV as the first major, and stayed in school as the program host of the movie channel "World Movie Journey" after graduation. For a host, Ye Liu has stood on a good development platform, but her heart is restless again. In the end, she chose to leave CCTV to study in Weibo in the United States.

Ye Liu likes financial news. Finance has always been an area she wants to set foot in, but she knows how difficult it is to transform from a film host to a financial host. So she decided to go abroad for further study. But this road is not easy, and English has become the biggest obstacle on Ye Liu's "cross-border" road.

The madness of learning English

After graduating from Ye Liu University in 2006, she applied for a job as a TV anchor. The previous rounds of interviews went well, and the last round was an English interview. Faced with the examiner's three English questions, she stood on the stage for a whole minute and a half, and finally left in a daze. At the moment she walked out of the door, she said to herself, "Ye Liu, you can't do this in your life. Your life is still very long, but you can't speak a word of English. Can you accept yourself like this? " She is determined to learn English well and become a bilingual anchor.

In order to realize her dream of going abroad, Ye Liu only stayed at home for seven days in the Spring Festival of 2007 and came to Beijing to study English crazily. She experienced "the most bitter time at that time, but the sweetest time in retrospect" in her life, and all her friends thought she was possessed. During the two years of studying in Beijing, English was the whole of her life, and almost all weekends and holidays were spent in Beijing.

Recalling my efforts to learn English, Ye Liu said, "I took the TOEFL twice, the GRE twice and the GMAT once. I recited Lao Yu's little red book ten times and studied hard. At that time, many people asked me why I was so crazy about learning English. Looking back now, it was these two years that changed my life. In fact, learning English has also changed my attitude towards things, making me do things more planned and organized. "

For a student with an artistic background and a casual life, it is particularly difficult to get back to the track of learning, and it is particularly difficult to stick to it. Ye Liu still remembers that when he took the TOEFL test for the first time, he didn't do well because he was too nervous. After the exam results were announced, she saw 90 points, which was both painful and wronged. She felt that she had done her best, but she got such an unsatisfactory score. She began to deny herself and felt that there could be no breakthrough in her life. Later, she took another GRE and got 1320, which was neither high nor low. She was deeply depressed again. Just when she was depressed, the teacher encouraged her: "Ye Liu, this is actually normal. You have never experienced setbacks since you were a child. For many people, he tried hard, but he still deviated from his goal. Then he continued to work hard. After listening to the teacher, she tidied up her mood and took the GRE again. As a result, she got 1390, which was a good result. When taking TOEFL and GMAT, the scores of TOEFL 1 10 and GMAT700 restored her confidence. From then on, the exam was no longer a psychological burden for Ye Liu, and she finally matured in this experience.

"In the previous 30 years, I worked hard and achieved one small goal after another. Now I want to sort out my little dreams for the next 30 years, polish them more exquisitely and be my best. " When talking about his next goal, Liu Wei said. As she said, "life is an adventure game, and every second of experience is worth cherishing." In the next thirty years, this restless dreamer will start her adventure again. Bless you, Ye Liu!
