She has starred in hit dramas like Palace, Swords of Legends, Eternal Love, Legend of Fuyao, and more. Shen Mengchen admitted that the artist who has had the greatest influence on her work/job is Yang Mi. She was full of praise regarding Yang Mi's behavior and dedication to the job when recording shows.

Netizens reacted in the following manner:

Comments:

1. What I admire most is that she never sells a pitiful act. She clearly understands that everyone has their own hardships. [+53685]

Response: She really, really understands. There was one time during which Zhang Dada interviewed her and he said something (I don't remember now). And Yang Mi just said, "Then go and look at the sanitation workers below. Which one of them does not work hard? So what right do you have to require others to understand your hard work?" I just...!!! She deserves to be popular!!! [+19767]

Response: Yup. She knows that soldiers, when they're training, have it 1,000 times or 10,000 times harder than them [T/N: she was on an army variety show titled "Takes a Real Man"], so when she went on this program for men, she grit her teeth and persevered in not crying out about how tired she was. She really went to experience life in the barracks. [+13147]

Response: She's able to be popular for so many years...Yang Mi inherently is the greatest! [+9862]

Response: She really never sells a pitiful act [+7824]

2. Yang Mi does not take the initiative to say how tired she is. And when she's asked about it, she just mentions her hard work briefly. More often than not, when she's asked about, she'll say that everyone has worked hard; the crew has worked very hard. About 10 years ago, Jane Zhang said that Yang Mi is someone who works hard to an outrageous extent. Not long after, Tong Liya said that Yang Mi has a really strong sense of persistence. Her sense of energy and perseverance is very strong. To this day, Shen Mengchen says that even though Yang Mi is so popular, she still works very hard. This is coming from a peer, and it's also an evaluation from a fellow woman. [+22110]

3. Yang Mi is the spokesperson of positive energy  [+9956]

4. You ridicule her and say she's nothing more than an actor. But the truth is that no matter which industry she's in, she can always sparkle because she does her best. As someone who works so hard and is also so quiet, what can't she do well in?  [+7734]
