From Bullied Kid to Rising Star: Liu Lingling’s Remarkable Come‑Back
Ever wonder what it feels like to be the student who’s always “asked” to stripe out the campus like a circus performer? It’s not just about the costume—it’s about how you ride the roller‑coaster of life, from scraped knees to standing center‑stage under bright lights.
Back in the Day: The “Getai” Dress Craze
- School vs. Showbiz – As a kid, Liu Lingling rolled, literally, with her Getai outfits tucked in newspapers right under her desk. Picture a teenager who’s gotta keep a secret costume while taking math.
- Students couldn’t resist poking—“Why do you always hide something?” they whispered. When Liu returned from leading the national anthem, the desk bells rang as the paper thud away—her look unmasked for all.
- Despite the humiliations, she didn’t back down. “It didn’t matter if I looked foolish; I was doing it for my family,” she told the audience. A little slip, a big lesson about dignity and sacrifice.
When Life Lays a Hard Card
Second year? Behind the curtain: a broken leg. While washing clothes, a slip on the slick floor left two nasty cuts and a half‑year of recovery. I’ve seen too few people crop up from that kind of injury.
- She ended up dropping her studies because the note from her teacher—“You’re a half‑friend of the song of the good ”—didn’t match her new rhythm.
- The adult learning institute? It started at night while she was booked for the same time slot, so the glass‑door stayed closed.
- Private schools came with a $400/month fee—another mountain for a family that already had a “household budget” clause.
Hard‑Gaining Mantras that Still Resonate
When the tears became too heavy, Liu turned to her dad. He didn’t offer a “make‑an‑excuse” clause. Instead, he said:
- “Insiption is for the brave traveler.”
- “If you’re a performer, you don’t have a “sore throat” excuse for not showing up. Even if you’re planning to retire tomorrow, you still give your best tonight.”
Today’s Shine – From Student to Seat‑Holder
Now, she’s no longer the girl who had to hide a costume. She’s rich & famous—an iconic Getai superstar worth a head‑long tale of resilience. She credits:
• Those early school days that tested her perseverance
• A father’s unwavering belief in her
• The relentless remembers that “you can’t be forever disfiling if you’re doing your sole lift.”
Besides, her jokes—“I always carry my cloak for emergency. If the bus goes out of town, free small‑talk” cross‑city charming that sing, good humor is also a mantra that (like a song, it takes a few to find the right groove).
