At just eight years old, Zheng Ying had her first taste of stage life✨. Stepping into the spotlight of The Search of Sound, she discovered a world where music and emotion collide. It was love at first cue.
Over the next thirteen years, amidst family ups and downs, Zheng Ying poured her heart into every audition and rehearsal. She chased her passion from school performances to local theaters, finally deciding to major in theater at university. Her dream felt both fragile and unstoppable.
Fast forward to 2025 and a 28-year-old Zheng Ying returns to her roots—not as the wide-eyed actress she once was, but as an assistant director guiding a fresh, young cast. From the rehearsal rooms in Shanghai to luminous stages across China, she opens her heart ❤️, urging her actors to break free from scripts and expectations, to find their own voices.
"Theater taught me to dream big and embrace vulnerability," she says. Now, she passes that lesson on, coaching newcomer performers to express themselves without limits. Each gesture, each song, each line carries the weight of her own journey, making this production more than a show—it's a living tribute to a childhood dream.
For Zheng Ying, the curtain never really closes. It simply lifts to reveal a new beginning 🌟.
