A

Chinese actress Xin Zhilei made history on Saturday by winning the Best Actress Award at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. She became the second actress from mainland China to receive this honor, following Gong Li’s 1992 victory.

Overcome with joy, Xin tearfully said in her speech for the award, “This feels like a dream. Over a decade ago, when I first started in the film industry, I made up my mind — I wanted to become an international superstar on a world-class stage. Back then, many people didn’t believe me. They would mock my dreams, and their words cut like knives.”

Having begun her show career in 2005, the actress overcame many difficulties to stand on the award stage in Venice, one of the three most famous film festivals in Europe. She said she felt proud of herself and encouraged all women by saying: “If you have a dream, dare to dream big and dare to go for it. Who knows — one day it might just come true, just like it did for me.”

Actually, Xin is not born to be a princess. She grew up in an ordinary family. Her father couldn’t support the family due to serious illness, which leaves all the responsibility to her mother. As a result, she helped with housework and took care of her younger brother and sister from an early age. She also tried her best to make money.

One day, she got a rare chance that not everyone would dare to take. Without too much thinking, she bravely seized(抓住) it. Through hard work, she completed the task successfully and left a good impression on the director. She said she will never forget this experience.
