This 5-year-old child from a kindergarten class in the provincial military region has frequently logged into children's variety shows on major TV stations in the past year, and worked as a children's plane model to receive advertisements. It can be said that the "star road" is smooth and envied by many parents.
Recently, however, Zaizai's mother, Liu Shanshan, posted on the Internet to "bask in" her son's sad experience of becoming an artist, and at the same time "bask in" her tangled heart: Should the child stay on the Avenue of Stars or not?

Yesterday, when the reporter saw Zaizai in Chongwen Bookstore, he was playing Transformers. The reporter asked him, "What is your future dream?" He replied affirmatively: "Be the king of dancing!"
Liu Shanshan said that when he was 2 years old, Zaizai often imitated Michael Jackson with TV. When he was 4 years old, he accidentally appeared on the program "Rice Without Show" of Shenzhen Satellite TV, which made him feel very addicted for the first time. Later, he successively participated in the programs such as Super Rookie Field of Hubei Satellite TV, Happy Jubilance and Hunan Golden Eagle Cartoon TV.
Because of his cute appearance and frequent photogenic appearance, Zaizai became a plane model and began to take some brand children's wear advertisements. On November 17 last year, he participated in the "China's Got Talent Show", but he failed to advance.
"That was the first time that Zaizai fell." Shanshan still remembers the situation at that time: in two days, Tsai only slept for four hours at night, so tired that he couldn't open his eyes. "When I learned that I didn't advance, Tsai cried very sadly, and I couldn't stop crying because the child was too hard!"

In order to cultivate Zaizai, Liu Shanshan quit her job and devoted herself to helping her son take care of performing arts affairs, such as contacting TV stations, QQ fans, taking photos and writing blogs. Last year, Zaizai began to learn hip-hop, vocal music, English, and bought clothes, which cost him three or four thousand yuan a month.
Liu Shanshan said that Zaizai will earn some money from taking advertisements and participating in activities. For example, for a trip to 6 yuan on the runway, it is generally 2, yuan to take children's clothing advertisements. However, since he has to go to school, he can only take them in winter and summer vacations, so this part of the income is not much.
"I didn't go to work. My father earns six or seven thousand yuan a month, and sometimes he has to reach out to his grandparents." Liu Shanshan said that the economic pressure is on the one hand and physical. Zaizai has to attend training classes three days a week, and often participates in activities on weekends. He spends most of his time on trains and planes, eating, drinking and sleeping irregularly. "Recently, Zaizai is tired and thin, and I am very distressed to see it."
(subhead) Go left? Go right?
It is this kind of distress that makes Liu Shanshan increasingly entangled and often asks herself: Do you want Zaizai to continue to be an artist or be an ordinary child?
"The child is still young. I wonder if this road has helped him choose the right one?" Liu Shanshan said that when she saw her son happy and satisfied on the stage, she felt that she should fully support her son. "After all, he likes the stage too much. It would be a pity to give up."
However, after graduation, Zaizai worked much harder than other children of the same age, which made Liu Shanshan feel very distressed. In addition, he will go to primary school in half a year, and if he continues to study as an artist, it is likely to affect his study. How to choose space makes him in a dilemma.

Expert's opinion
Let the children's "star" road go slowly
Facing the troubles of "star mom", Chen Hongmei, an expert in preschool education in Wuhan Academy of Education, thinks that it may not be the best choice for children to set their development direction too early, and it is easy for them to become too socialized and have a certain impact on their mentality. Especially when children are about to go to primary school, it is the key time to lay a cultural foundation. If this stage is not grasped well, it may affect the length of artistic life.
However, Chen Hongmei is not in favor of giving up. After all, children have a certain talent in this field, and parents should provide him with a space to display it.
Chen Hongmei suggested that parents should appropriately reduce the frequency of children's attendance, slow down the pace a little, don't dig up their children's potential at once, and don't encourage them to pull out the seedlings. "If these little child stars can take care of their acting and their studies well, I believe they will go better and further in the future."
