專訪胡張燕燕：模範母親 市長 成功企業家 成就立體人生｜今日加州

Nowadays, women face more and more pressure, and more challenges and competition in the workplace. After starting a family, especially after becoming a mother, they are often burdened by family and children. How to balance career and family? Today, we have invited the former mayor of Ruidu, the model mother, and the winner of the Huaguan Award, Ms. Hu Zhangyanyan, to share her experience. Welcome. Before your re-election, you were already a small businesswoman. At that time, you were voting for another candidate, and she won. At the table, your husband said to you, no one is voting for you, so you should come out and vote for yourself. That's how you stepped into the political arena. That's right. It's really like that. What did you think at that time? Actually, I have always felt that whatever you want to do in your life, just do it. Because if you do it, success and failure are half and half. But if you don't do it, you will always fail. Actually, I have always felt that a person's potential is very, very big. Many people don't have the potential to use it. Later, especially in the past few decades, I found that as long as a person arranges the time well, you can do more things than you can imagine. But you must arrange the time well. When to do what kind of thing, and then at a certain stage, what should you do next. I think it's okay to arrange it well. You were elected mayor four times. Yes. You were only re-elected last year. It can be said that you have a reputation for success. As a Asian woman, this is very difficult. What is your secret to success? I think I have to think about what I want to do. How can I succeed? So it's the same with elections. How can you succeed in elections? You must vote. How can you get votes? Of course, people say that money is also very important. Because if you don't have money, you can't send your documents. But I think the personal charm, you personally visit the voters, this is better than sending a lot of flyers and ads. So I think in elections, especially local elections, you must visit the voters yourself. You go to see your voters very sincerely. You speak out your opinion, your opinion. Then, of course, you have a little bit of success yourself. Because before I was elected, in fact, my business was doing well. So many people knew me. In addition, I have the ability to solve problems in business. So I was elected for the first time in 1992. At that time, if I was elected, it was actually a black horse. But my campaign manager, after spending two or three months with me, he knew I would be elected. Because he knew I had my own ideas. He knew where my specialty was, where my shortcomings were. I knew it all. So when you visit the voters, you must show your strengths. You have to cover up your shortcomings a little bit. Then you have to be emotional. Then talk to your voters sincerely. He thinks you are doing well now. I think I should give you a chance. Ke Xiao, your work is very busy. It's hard to imagine that you also take very good care of your family. It is said that you have been cooking every day since you got married. And your three children are well-educated. You have a doctor, a professor, and a doctor. Yes. How did you do it? To be honest, I am very lucky. First, I married a good husband. My family is happy. My husband and I have a good relationship. This is already half of the success. Then we help each other, support each other, and raise these three children. So I think deep education is very important. We follow the development of nature. They do what they like to do. But the only thing is, first, they must not be toxic. This is absolutely not allowed. At school, we don't ask them to be the first. But at least they have to get good grades. Then don't have bad habits. Be a good child at home. Respect your parents. That's enough. He sees that his parents are living well. They will also study well. So I think if a child wants to do something, as a parent, you must try to accompany them. As long as they like to do something, you should try to accompany them. If they don't like to do something, you don't need to push them too much. All the way to today, you own several hotels in Sheldon. Your family is full of children. In everyone's eyes, you have a perfect life. Do you have any wishes that have not been fulfilled? Or have you ever regretted it? Actually, I don't have any regrets. I found that I am the luckiest. First, my marriage is very happy. Second, I have three children. Seven grandchildren. It's not easy. Because I told them, in a normal family, a couple must have children. So when I was young, since I had children in 1976, I haven't watched a movie for about 20 or 30 years. I haven't worn a hat for about 10 years. Because I didn't have time. Later, I felt that all this, not to mention sacrifice, it's all worth it. I feel very grateful. I feel that God is really very, very blessing to me. So all these years, I often feel that I should do more meaningful work for society. I cherish my friends very much. I also cherish my family very much. I also cherish the opportunity to do something for society. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse. I will try my best to do meaningful work for society. Thank you very much today, Ms. Hu Zhangyanyan, for accepting our interview. Thank you.
