Yang Haowei gave a speech at Soochow Vocational College in Chiayi, sharing 15 years of acting experience and encouraging students to bravely pursue their dreams.

[Reporter Li Shaoling/Taipei Report] Yang Haowei was recently invited to give a speech at Soochow Vocational College in Chiayi, sharing the ups and downs of his 15 years of acting. As soon as the speech ended, a large number of students immediately rushed forward to ask for photos. The scene was so lively that it was like a "riot." It took nearly half an hour just to accompany the students to take photos. Some students even held his hand and said that after listening to the sharing, they had "rediscovered the direction of pursuing their dreams."

On that day, Yang Haowei used the theme "15 years of imperfect acting life" to encourage students to bravely pursue their dreams, but he also bluntly warned that dreams are not romantic. "Dreams are very cruel." Once you have set your goal, don't give up easily. "Even if you climb, you have to finish it by yourself." He recalled the days when he was filming the eight o'clock show. In order to keep his best side in front of the screen, he slept less than 10 hours for three consecutive days, just to let the audience see the good show.

During the speech, Yang Haowei also shared an unforgettable experience as a catwalk instructor. Lin Jingfu, a famous obstetrician and gynecologist known as the "fashionable old man", went to a modeling agency for training before being invited to appear at New York Fashion Week. Even though he had seen big waves, Dr. Lin still couldn't hide his nervousness when faced with the young supermodels who swept the four major fashion weeks around him. Upon seeing this, Yang Haowei immediately reminded him: "Dr. Lin, what are you afraid of? How many children have you delivered and how many people have you saved in your life? You are more powerful than them in a hundred shows if you deliver one life! Show your confidence." This domineering enlightenment gave Dr. Lin an instant epiphany and regained his strong aura. Every step he took on the international catwalk was calm and confident.

Talking about the ups and downs of life, Yang Haowei admitted that the most important thing is to remain humble at all times and continue to accumulate energy during low moments. Now that he is in a window of filming, he is not bound by his "star" status. Instead, he rolls up his sleeves and works in a breakfast shop, experiencing a different life with daily necessities. This sincere sharing deeply touched the students in the audience. After the speech, one student came over to hold his hand and said that he had only watched him act on TV before, but now after listening to the sharing, he had "found the path to his dreams." Yang Haowei did not rush to cheer him up, but seriously reminded him: "You have to make sure your path is really this path, because it is really hard." The student nodded firmly and said that he would think carefully, and still held his hand tightly before leaving, which impressed him deeply.

This speech was also a profound experience for Yang Haowei. He revealed that when he was compiling the briefing, all the memories flashed before his eyes like a marquee. "It was like reliving the past 15 years of his life." He laughed and said that there were not many words on the slide. He deliberately chose to share the most real experience orally throughout the whole process. "Oral narration is more vivid and they can feel it better." He hopes to pass on this true courage to young students who are about to enter the society.
