I should have become ________ ________ like my father.

I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about my story. I’m just going to start with the     1    . I’m 21 and my mum had me when she was 24. I’m from Texas. And my mum worked four jobs and completely     2     her life into making mine better. So, to me, she is the     3     of a strong woman. And I love her so much, because she’s taught me those     4    .

When I was seven, I wanted to be an actress and I wanted to     5    . And when I was eleven, a casting director told me that I wasn’t strong enough to     6     my own show.

And the     7     almost crushed me but next to me there was my mum who was stronger than ever. She said the most important thing is to always trust myself. She told me to     8    , and taught me to turn the other cheek and let the critics be critics, and let us just     9    . With the support of my mum, I     10     realize my dream and become a real actress.

Common hero touches hearts of millions

A video of a 66-year-old man called Erjiu has gone viral on Chinese social media after his nephew Tang Hao shared the man’s condensed but heartstring-tugging life story on short-video platform Bilibili on Monday. Using the name “Yigecaixiang”, Tang uses witty storytelling in the 11-minute video to     1     the experiences of Erjiu. The man, who uses a cane due to a longtime disability, is portrayed as a common hero who never bows to life’s difficulties, but     2     instead to lead a full and meaningful village life. Erjiu’s self-reliance and tenacity not only moved Tang, but also have touched the hearts of millions of online viewers. Commenting on the     3     popularity of his video, Tang said: “It may have attracted a lot of views, but that is because my uncle lived his life well, not because I wrote a decent story.”
