The "2005 Super Girl Competition" has long ended, but the audience's enthusiasm for the contestants has not faded. "Super Girl" remains a hot topic in streets and alleys. Although the rankings have been determined, Li Yuchun sits in theth position, while Zhou Bichang and Zhang Liying take the second and third places, respectively. But at this moment, I only want to talk about Zhang Liying—she is the person I most admire and wish to become.
Zhang Liying was born in Sichuan. At the age of fifteen, she lost her father, and her mother was hospitalized at the time. Zhang Liying took on the heavy responsibility of caring for her mother. It's heart-wrenching to say, once when she was cooking fish soup for her mother, she accidentally fell asleep, and the soup boiled dry. Zhang Liying was extremely frustrated, wondering how to feed her mother now. When her mother saw the empty pot, she asked Zhang Liying what happened. She replied, "I fell asleep while cooking the soup." When I heard Zhang Liying's mother tell this story, I couldn't help but tear up. I never expected Zhang Liying to be so mature and capable at such a young age. Yet on her face, there was no trace of her past hardships. Zhang Liying buried her past sorrows deep within and chose to face them alone with strength. This is the reason I admire her most.
In contrast, I have grown up at home with everything handed to me on a silver platter. Have I ever warmed my parents' hearts like Zhang Liying did? After hearing this story, I reflected deeply and decided to change something. That day, when my parents were not home, I broke the norm and cooked a meal. Although the dishes were burnt and the rice was overcooked, my parents were still delighted, even laughing through their tears. In their praise, I felt I had grown up, and a faint sense of happiness surged within me. Learning from Zhang Liying has given me tangible rewards.
Later, Zhang Liying grew older, but with a less affluent family, she asked her mother to let her sing in bars to support the household and lighten her mother's burden. So, Zhang Liying attended school during the day and sang in bars at night. With her "dolphin-like" voice, she earned a lot of money, helping to alleviate her family's poverty. However, being a singer was not without its hardships. Once, a patron greatly admired her and wanted to buy her a drink, but Zhang Liying firmly refused. The patron was angered and threatened to cause trouble, but Zhang Liying preferred to lose the bar than get entangled with him. She then moved to another bar. So, she would walk east to school in the daytime and cycle far to the west to sing in the bar, undeterred by wind and rain. This is the second reason I admire her.
Later, she participated in the "Super Girl" competition and, with her perseverance, advanced through all the rounds until the final, where she won theth place. Many people believed she should have taken theth place, which just goes to show how talented she is. In fact, I thought the same and even sent her a text message of support, which was the only small thing I could do! Yet, even so, Zhang Liying still lagged behind Li Yuchun in text message votes, but she still received over a million votes—truly an astronomical number! To me, what matters most is that through this competition, Zhang Liying has become a true star, supported by countless fans, and wherever she goes, she hears screams. Her charm comes from her exceptional singing skills, her voice captivating countless audiences. I believe this is inseparable from her hard work. Her early hardships and training have shaped the Zhang Liying of today.
