　　The older women's group growth variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" (hereinafter referred to as "Sister") launched by Mango TV is now on the air. The show focuses on the road to group formation of 30 female artists aged 30+. On August 28, the show will air the finals. Recently, Zheng Xiyi, who successfully advanced to the finals, accepted interviews from the Yangcheng Evening News and other media to talk about her feelings since joining the show.

　　Talk about the original intention: everything is the best arrangement

　　Yangcheng Evening News: Did you hesitate when you received the invitation from "Sister"? Ever thought that you would go to the finals?

　　Zheng Xiyi: Yes, very hesitant. I was thinking, why should I be reviewed by others? But if I miss the opportunity to be reviewed by others, how do I know I'm going to work hard? If I don't work hard, I won't know that I can be so good. To be honest, I really didn't dare to think I could make it to the finals before coming.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: Is it too late to come to the group when you are almost 40?

　　Zheng Xiyi: Everyone calls me a "married girl", and I never feel that I am very old. In life, it is not too late to do anything, everything is the best arrangement.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: Is "grouping" important to you? Has the mentality changed?

　　Zheng Xiyi: At the beginning, I felt that being a team was the best result of the game. But now I feel that it is not important to be a team, because we are a 30-person team, we will consider each other, which is more than the meaning of the game.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: Many mainland viewers know you because of this show. Do you feel that you have received more attention?

　　Zheng Xiyi: Yes, some younger audiences think I am an actor. They don't know that I was a singer before, let alone what my personality is like. But in "Sister", you can see another me under the stage, and you can recognize the more real Zheng Xiyi.

　　Talk about challenges: becoming more confident in difficulties

　　Yangcheng Evening News: After so many years of debut, how hard and challenging "Sister" can rank in the career of an artist?

　　Zheng Xiyi: Temporarily ranked first, this is the hardest thing I have done in so many shows. In terms of physical strength, during the four-month recording time, due to the epidemic, I could not go home and stayed in Changsha. We have been training, the intensity is very high, the actual training time is longer than the expected time of the program group. In terms of spirit, because it is a competition, there will be pressure to be eliminated. Whenever I see my sister being eliminated, I feel particularly uncomfortable, and I can't even focus on the following song selection process.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: You broke down and cried after being injured. Are you worried about dragging down other players?

　　Zheng Xiyi: I can't dance at all after I sprained my knee. The injury is a small matter and will be good, but it was injured the day before the performance. I couldn't finish the stage performance. I feel very guilty and feel sorry for the players.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: "Challenge yourself" or "accept yourself" which is more important?

　　Zheng Xiyi: You have to challenge yourself before you can accept yourself more. The stage is very different every time. At first I wanted to do what I was good at singing and dancing, and then I wanted to break through myself, singing rap, playing DJ, drumming... I really challenged myself and achieved very satisfactory results. People are to gradually see their infinite possibilities in constant challenges.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: In the process of selecting players and songs, you gave the opportunity to other sisters. Some netizens felt that you were not actively fighting. What do you think?

　　Zheng Xiyi: In the fourth performance, I wanted to choose the quiet group, and I didn't let Lan Yingying. I just didn't have the opportunity to choose, and she had the first choice. When choosing the song, I did not fight for the "C Building Alone" that I wanted to choose. Because I wanted to challenge myself, I chose "A Bridge of Fate". I don't want to play safety cards on this stage, I want to challenge a genre of songs that I haven't sung before.

　　Talking about life: always "riding the wind and waves"

　　Yangcheng Evening News: In the show, which sister gave you the biggest difference between before and after?

　　Zheng Xiyi: Sister Jing, at first thought she should be difficult to get along with, but I did not expect that she is now a little girl in my mind, very cute.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: As a female artist, how do you feel about age?

　　Zheng Xiyi: I used to think that the age requirements of female artists in the entertainment industry are very strict-you only have a short period of time to act in youth idol dramas, and then you have to play "mother" or other roles. But in this program, I saw 30+, 40+, 50+ women are very exciting, everyone has a lot of things to learn, women of every age group have a unique light.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: How do you think women can get rid of age anxiety?

　　Zheng Xiyi: I was anxious when I was 29 years old. 30 years old is a hurdle for women, but after that, I feel nothing. The most important thing for women is to know what they want, love themselves, live in the moment, and if they can achieve these points, they will not feel anxious at all ages.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: The postpartum comeback is still in great courage, is there any secret to share?

　　Zheng Xiyi: After giving birth to my daughter, I kept telling myself that as a mother, I will be more fit than before, so I have always insisted on exercising and "maintaining my body" is something I will persist throughout my life.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: After experiencing a lot of twists and turns in life, do you feel like "riding the wind and waves"?

　　Zheng Xiyi: I did experience some ups and downs before, but isn't everyone the same? Everyone is undergoing tests, and it is precisely because of these tests that you will feel "it turns out I can". I am not only "riding the wind and waves" on this stage, I have been "riding the wind and waves" all my life. I am not afraid of those big winds and waves, I can cross over.

　　Yangcheng Evening News: What do you think of the word "fanhong"?

　　Zheng Xiyi: "Red" is very important for female artists. Only when they are red can they have more commercial value and have more rights to choose their jobs.
