For us amateurs, from the age of 30, we will face irresistible "aging" and psychological great age anxiety.
In the entertainment circle where the rules of the game are more cruel, the "sense of crisis in middle age" of female stars is even worse.
So we can see that more and more actresses are taking injections, face-lifting and micro-shaping ... trying to maintain the so-called "girlish feeling".
But there are also some women who live forever beyond age and anxiety.
Yolanda, 44, is like this.
A few days ago, I brushed Weibo and accidentally saw a group of recent photos of Yolanda.
In the photo, Yolanda is dressed in a light blue dress with short makeup and elegant posture.
Sitting there quietly, she gives people a kind of firmness and gentleness that "she will not move regardless of the ebb and flow of the outside world".
People can't help but take a deep breath: this woman is really getting more and more beautiful!
Today is Yolanda's 44th birthday.
When people reach middle age, with the passage of time, most women will gradually lose their luster.
But Yolanda, no!
In her face, you can see both a girl's innocence and firmness, and a mature woman's elegance and intellectuality.
That's a temperament that cosmetics and hyaluronic acid can't fill.
It is the repair of years and the carving of time;
She is also a woman who has nothing to do with age, but only with her own beauty.

Lin once said:
"There must be tenderness, but not compromise. We must be calm and unhurriedly strong. "
I think this sentence is more appropriate to describe Yolanda.
Yolanda was quiet and steady since childhood.
At the age of 1 1, Yolanda, who was still in junior high school in Hubei, was unexpectedly chosen to study Peking Opera in the Middle School Attached to Beijing Chinese Opera.
Mother only asked her, "You have to think clearly for yourself. Do you really want to learn Peking Opera?"
Yolanda replied, "Yes, I really want to go."
In this way, a teenage girl packed her bags and started her own drifting career in the North.
When Yolanda was studying opera in Beijing, life was very difficult.
But when she was young, she never complained to her family. No matter how tired she is, she grits her teeth.
And this persistence is seven years.
Seven years, except Yolanda, is not only a solid stage skill.
More importantly, it also cultivated her quiet personality and clear cognitive ability.
After that, she can think independently and make the best choice for herself, regardless of her career or feelings.
Compared with many "late bloomers", Yolanda has a very high starting point.
She became popular very early, and the road to becoming an actress was smooth.
Before graduating from college, she starred in the first film of her life-Dream of Spring.
With this work, she won the 19 Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Later, she starred in the movie "Beautiful Feet" with Ni Ping.
With her superb acting skills, she won the Hundred Flowers Award Award for Best Supporting Actress again.
Followed by Blue Love, she was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.
What impressed me most was the few seconds she raised her glass in the movie.
Bright eyes and white teeth, beautiful as an elf.
This animation has been repeatedly turned out to this day as evidence of her youth and beauty.
And to say that Yolanda's most "explosive" role is Tang Jing in My First Half of Life.
In 20 17, "My First Half Life" exploded on the Internet.
As the second heroine, Tang Jing played by Yolanda has become the representative of the perfect goddess in many people's minds.
She is smart and intelligent, and she does things with great efficiency.
Emotionally mature and steady, considerate and gentle, persistent and firm in love;
In life, you are loyal and affectionate. When your girlfriend is in trouble, you can be a strategist.
Many people say that Yolanda created Tang Jing. Without her, the play would not be so popular.
From 1999 to 202 1, Yolanda debuted for 22 years.
In these 22 years, yolanda appeared in many classic works:
Golden Age, Love Flowers, Farewell, No Future, Captain. ....
Played many roles, big and small:
From Little Fish and Hua Wuque to Professor Ye in Joy of Life;
From Butterfly in Romantic Death to Zhang Lu in Lost Russia. ....
Many of these roles are supporting roles, and there are not many plays. Sometimes they just make guest appearances for a few minutes.
But Yolanda touched every character in the audience's heart with his incisive performance.
Branding each character with his own blood also shows the audience what a good actor is.

Every time Yolanda chooses a script and shapes a character, it will make people shine.
Solid acting skills, even Bo Huang once praised her as "one of the best actresses of this era".
However, whenever fans expect her to take advantage of the heat to pick up more movies and TV series, she never worries.
Instead, I smoothed my sleeves and took root on the stage of drama.
Yolanda said long ago:
"The stage is the love of my life. I really want to live in the theater for 24 hours. "
As we all know, compared with film and television dramas, the drama industry is quite small.
Not only the exposure rate is low, but also the income is low, which tests the skill and endurance of actors.
But in the past ten years, yolanda has participated in hundreds of theatrical performances, and his pace has never stopped.
From amber to the song of the movie;
From peach blossom garden to Jane Eyre, from living to green snake. .....
In Hong Kong, more than 3,000 tickets for the performance of Amber starring her were sold in just three days, setting a sales record for Hong Kong dramas.
In the drama Jane Eyre, Yolanda's performance brought her the highest prize in the field of drama performance in China-Plum Blossom Award.
At the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the play once dominated the stage and lasted for half a month.
She is a well-deserved "drama queens" who won the Grand Slam of Chinese Drama Award.
In 2007, she was elected to the Centennial Hall of Fame of China Drama together with Lao She, Cao Yu and other predecessors.
At the age of 30, she was the youngest member of the Hall of Fame.
Yolanda's achievements in drama stem from her profession and belief.
Director Meng Jinghui once pointed out:
Before each performance, Yolanda always arrives at the scene twice in advance.
After putting on makeup, she sat quietly in the corner, immersed in the mood of the role.
After each rehearsal, she will play again and again in the rehearsal field.
Drama is like this, and so is film and television drama.
When filming "See you later", director Han Han once said in an interview:
When filming the captain, Yolanda went to Sichuan Airlines simulation cabin for training three months in advance in order to play the role of flight attendant.
I looked up the role prototype and took a lot of notes like a serious student.
After the training, she did not forget to train at home. The purpose is to "let the professional feeling grow on her."
In my opinion, this is not only a major that an actor should have, but also a belief and confidence in the role.
It is this "sense of faith" that won Yolanda the longest recognition and the most heartfelt respect from opera fans.

Yolanda is 44 years old. At the age when an actress should be anxious, she seems very calm.
At the age of 30, she said:
Now entering the door of 40 years old, when asked about the age crisis that actresses have to face, she once again said:
When actresses are obsessed with "girlhood", Yolanda has already made a transition to "texture".
When the actors are obsessed with "flow", Yolanda has advanced to "transparency".
She is not anxious, flustered or worried about "being out of breath".
When Zhang Ziyi and others have been active in various variety shows, she only did two things-
Play a good show and live your own life.
Usually she is a family besides work.
In her spare time, she will take her husband and daughter to travel and see the scenery around the world.
I will also teach my daughter to paint and cook.
The family is happy, enjoying a quiet and peaceful life in every ordinary day.
In this era of fighting traffic, she rarely appears in colorful occasions in Starlight Glimmer.
Even the hottest state in Weibo is just to promote public welfare and help the poor.
When she "disappeared", she was absorbed in acting most of the time and was a low-yield person.
Speaking of which, maybe many people will feel sorry for Yolanda:
"With her acting skills and posture, if she doesn't devote herself to drama, she should have a better development on the screen."
But as before, she did not follow the changes of the external environment at all, but only followed her own heart.
You can't find anything "overexert" in her.
She is too slow to look like a female star who should race against time to keep her best.
But it is also like this that she proved what is the real character of an actor with practical actions.
Seriously face every role and every choice;
Regardless of the prosperity of the floating world, only concentrate on self-cultivation.
Being in vanity fair, but never making public;
Can pull away when the limelight is strong, return to a dull life, and be loyal to yourself forever.
Such Yolanda is like a quiet cloud, soft without impurities, gentle but full of strength.
10 June 16 is Yolanda's 44th birthday.
Click "Watch" to wish her a happy birthday, and I wish you and I can be like Yolanda-
Always be firm, always gentle, always awake, and live to be the strongest self.
