Features: Life is always on the PK stage ◇ Xue Xiaozhen knew the term "PK" on the national super girl stage. When a contestant had to PK another, when 30 public judges and judges had to decide who would be eliminated, I thought PK was a cruel thing. Indeed cruel. One must choose between two, and one must leave. The little super girls often left their stage with tears in their eyes, perhaps their greatest failure. And those who had weathered the storms often became stronger. PK queen Ji Minjia always chose to move forward, unstoppable as if nothing could stop her. This girl who didn’t make it into the top 10 of the super girl last year endured humiliation and worked hard, first losing weight, then practicing her voice. She said, "This time, I’m PK-ing myself." Never giving up, even on stage. The charm of super girl lies in this, doesn’t it? Although the show is entertaining and Hunan TV has made a fortune, I know that the phrase "Sing when you want, sing loud" is the brightest fireworks in life, blooming again and again.

In school, you must become an outstanding student, and your competitors are those who PK just like you.

Someone asked, the successful tycoon, if he still needed to surpass anyone. He said, "Myself." Yes, oneself is always hard to surpass. Striving gives life meaning. How pale life would be without PK.
Not every PK is successful, just like those super girls. Some were PK’d out, leaving with tears but smiling. They said, "I tried, I sang, I fought, with no regrets. Next year, I’ll come back!" I admire that calm and magnanimity, that ability to let go.
I have a friend who competed with another woman for a man in love. She was PK’d out and became, believing she lacked womanly charm, that she was a failure. She grew gloomy and eventually developed depression. But the same friend, when she suffered a huge loss in business, smiled and said, "Life is just a play. Why must we close the curtain when it’s not going well?" No, I can dry my tears and start again. A few years later, her starch factory became a renowned industry leader. When people asked her for advice, she said, "A person
