Canada alone
"I don't want to live in silence under the aura of Baochai." in 1990, after studying director and production in Shenzhen, Zhang Li came to Canada to study alone with the dream of becoming an excellent director and producer. Because of her works such as a dream of Red Mansions and spring and autumn, plus her working experience and learning background, Zhang Li successfully got the admission notice from a Canadian school with the help of her friends.
However, in the following days, Zhang Li completed the transformation of her mentality in frustration and shock. Like countless foreign students, Zhang Li thought of working in Canada soon. There is a McDonald's on the opposite side of the school. Zhang Li thought that she could go to work to earn money and come back to class, so she applied for a job. But the clerk said, "do you have any work experience?" He turned her down. "I didn't expect that no one would want to work in a restaurant." this huge gap made Zhang Li feel particularly hurt. Later, the kind-hearted teacher told her how to apply for a scholarship. Although not many scholarships came from hard work, they were enough to live.
Because she has shot a dream of Red Mansions and had important performance experience, Zhang Li still put the way to earn money on filming. In 1991, Zhang Li, recommended by her friends, made an award-winning film "floating clouds", which reflects Chinese students studying abroad. This film made Zhang Li get a green card from Canada. Zhang Li didn't get married in Canada because she got a permanent residence permit through shooting. She saw many Chinese girls with her own eyes. In order to get the residence permit, she didn't hesitate to marry a person much older than herself, and she didn't live a happy life. With the residence permit, Zhang Li became more independent and didn't want to rely on others.
At the beginning, she and her partner bought a small shop and employed four or five employees. "In the early days, every employee was interviewed by myself. At that time, I was young and the employees were older than me. I learned everything from the beginning." As soon as she calmed down in the evening, she began to study and economics started from scratch. Almost from one o'clock to four or five o'clock in the morning, and the next day to deal with a lot of company affairs. The company is also running well. After one year as an overseas student, Zhang Li's income can fully guarantee her life and the expenses of her investors and employees.
After the company became stable, Zhang Li wanted to invest in real estate. According to her words, it all depended on strong perseverance. But even if she has such perseverance, it's not smooth sailing. At that time, she just started to invest in a commercial building. At this most timid time, she found that the real estate began to decline. "For our investors, it's terrible, and there's a lot of pressure." At that time, none of her partners dared to mention the word "investment" because she had a stomachache.
In 1995, Zhang Li stayed in the hospital for two weeks because she suddenly lost weight and couldn't find out the cause. At first, Zhang Li thought it was cancer, but all kinds of tests were normal. Since she couldn't find out, she didn't want to stay in the hospital. For her at that time, she didn't know how long she would live, "but I have to arrange my life well and think about what I would do." After two weeks in the hospital, Zhang Li's parents also came to see and take care of her. They asked her to do some simple exercises every day and drink cans of liquid food. After eight months, she recovered. For Zhang Li, her diligence and hard work in her youth have made her "small achievements" now. However, the rumored assets of more than 100 million US dollars from the outside world have been called "flattering" by her.

Character evaluation
Sister Bao in the dream of Red Mansions is gentle and generous, which is highly praised by the Grand View Garden. In reality, sister Bao is also very popular, kind and gentle. Zhang Li likes to be considerate of others and thinks a lot about them. Whether it's her friends, her clients, her secretary and nanny, she treats each other as warmly and sincerely as possible. In a dream of Red Mansions, Baochai is a well read, generous and gentle woman. Zhang Li's personality is very close to Baochai's. With her elegant appearance and elegant temperament, she finally interprets the immortal artistic image of sister Bao perfectly. (Netease evaluation)

Xue Baochai has the same eyes and smile as Xue Baochai in the 87 edition of a dream of Red Mansions. Her bright eyes are still pure and quiet, exuding the charm of infinite youth. The difference is that she is more mature. (Sina comments)
