The most prominent aspect of Xu Jinglei’s talent is calligraphy, followed by her early status as a film director with a female label.
Old Xu, who was born in 1974, is 46 years old.
Xu Jinglei, who was hailed by Gao Xiaosong as "Beijing's Great Beauty", was born in a residential area near Sanlitun, Beijing. Her parents were ordinary workers.
My father, Xu Zijian, is a calligraphy enthusiast. In Xu’s father’s opinion, if you write well, you will be popular and earn money at any time.
So Xu Jinglei has been reciting Tang poetry and writing calligraphy under her father's strict requirements since she was a child.
Look at the time management form that Xu’s father gave Xu Jinglei. It is still worth learning from parents: 1 hour of English study every day, 1 calligraphy copy, 1 diary, 1 Sunday reading sample, homework Do it on time, run for 20 minutes in the morning and walk for 30 minutes after meals.
The schedule is fully arranged, and the work and rest are balanced, and the activity is appropriate. It seems that it is not easy to be a talented woman.
When Xu Jinglei was a teenager, Xu’s father resigned from the factory and became his own boss. He opened a small workshop for making neon lights, specializing in making various neon light boxes that were hung at the door of the store.
In the 1980s, due to technical constraints and the small scale of the factory, the words on the neon light boxes had to be written stroke by stroke manually.
Let’s find a famous calligrapher to write it. The cost is too high and small factories can’t afford it. If you are not a famous calligrapher, you are afraid of not being able to write well and making people laugh. Xu Jinglei’s calligraphy at this time was because of her diligent practice. He had gained quite a bit of understanding and had some accomplishments, so Father Xu simply asked his daughter to write it.
It took several years to write this. It is not surprising that Xu Jinglei can write a good calligraphy.
This is "Lanting Preface" written by 19-year-old Xu Jinglei.
He is also a talented person. He is able to understand calligraphy so thoroughly at the age of 19, which is admirable.
Xu Jinglei is the first actress to act and direct in movies, although several commercial films she directed have been questioned due to their mediocre quality.
The market response to "Du Lala's Promotion" was pretty good, but the subsequent film "There's a Place Only We Know", as a film of the same type as Du Lala, focuses on emotional scenes with handsome men. The audience doesn't buy it very much.
But a woman who has great calligraphy skills, has become a film director, can also write essays, and has a huge readership online, is this not a talented woman.
