"I asked my mother how difficult it would be. Would I starve to death? As long as I wouldn't starve to death, I'd follow my mother. I didn't want to be the Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family, and I didn't want to stay in the Ning family. At that time, I thought if my mother didn't take me with her, I'd look for Aunt Liang Zhen or Director Pan; they'd definitely take me in. After filming 'Yi Yao', I understood the hardships of the world. I was confident I'd find ways to support myself. I'm stubborn like my mother. Deep down, both of us would rather sacrifice ourselves for a just cause than to lose our integrity just to survive."
