Portraying a high school student in currently airing drama Precious Youth <那年青春我們正好>, Cecilia reflects upon her own youth and reminisced her childhood days. Due to her own upbringing, she believes that she will be a strict mother with high standards for her own children. When she was six years old, Cecilia was already enrolled in the National Ballet of China where she spent her long hours practicing dance routines. Talented in the arts, Cecilia was accepted into the Beijing International Art School in fourth grade and specialized in ballet dancing. Speaking about how her ballet classes at the school restricted her from having a carefree childhood, Cecilia expressed, “It was a boarding-style school – there was no such thing as having a childhood. We spent six hours a day in class. However, because the boarding school was mix-gendered, we all played together. I was a crazy child – I would often go with the boys to catch bugs, bees, and play with firecrackers. I wasn’t afraid when I was a child, but I’m more careful and wary about this now.” Cecilia revealed that she would become a Tiger Mom when she has children. Revealing that she was raised by a rather strict mother, Cecilia said it is natural that she would also set high standards for her children. Cecilia expressed, “When my mother watches my dramas, she would always give criticism and feedback because she has really high standards for me. When I become a mother, I would be just as strict. When I was at boarding school, my teachers and parents were strict as well.” Although she lived with many rules and restrictions in her earlier years, Cecilia timidly revealed how marriage with Nicky Wu (吳奇隆) has slightly changed her lifestyle, especially in terms of cooking. Praising her husband for being a naturally good chef, Cecilia laughed, “He makes food with whatever ingredients are in the fridge. It’s always different and never the same. His job is to cook and my job is to eat!” Creds: Sina
