Xin Zhilei: From Poverty-Stricken Waitress to Venice Best Actress
辛芷蕾：从贫困服务员到威尼斯影后

China’s Xin Zhilei, recent winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Best Actress award, has a remarkable rags-to-riches story. Born in 1986 in Heigang, an underdeveloped city in Heilongjiang, her parents were manual workers, and the family struggled financially. As a secondary school student, she worked as a fast-food waitress to avoid asking her parents for money.
中国演员辛芷蕾近期斩获威尼斯电影节最佳女演员奖，她的逆袭故事十分励志。1986 年，辛芷蕾出生于黑龙江省欠发达城市鹤岗，父母均为体力劳动者，家庭经济困难。中学时期，为了不向父母要钱，她就到快餐店当服务员。

Later, she studied fashion design in Harbin and did part-time modeling to support her father, who was paralyzed in an accident. In 2005, her talent was discovered by Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen’s team at a local TV station event, leading her to sign with Yen’s company. After winning the Venice award on September 6, her story trended on mainland social media, with netizens praising her hard work. Donnie Yen also sent her a congratulatory message. Xin credits her childhood and family environment for shaping her personality, driving her success with “desire and ambition.”
之后，她在哈尔滨学习服装设计，同时兼职做模特，以贴补家用 —— 当时她的父亲因一场事故瘫痪，需要照顾。2005 年，在当地电视台举办的一场活动中，香港演员甄子丹的团队发现了她的天赋，随后她签约甄子丹的公司。9 月 6 日获得威尼斯大奖后，她的经历在中国大陆社交媒体上引发热议，网友纷纷称赞她的努力。甄子丹也在她获奖后第一时间发来贺电。辛芷蕾表示，童年经历和家庭环境塑造了她的性格，而 “渴望与野心” 则推动她走向成功。
