Qiu Qinyi shared her experience in talking with Xu Haoyi, a Ph.D. in psychology and a senior psychologist. She said that after being a university professor, best-selling author and psychologist for more than 20 years, he chose to step into the film industry and start from scratch as a producer.

Qiu Qinyi said with emotion yesterday (8th) that Xu Haoyi has achieved outstanding results in the field of psychology over the years, and has accompanied the growth of tens of thousands of students in composition courses. The outside world thought that her life had reached a peak, but unexpectedly she chose to put down everything familiar, relearn scripts, funding, casting, filming and distribution, enter a world that was completely unfamiliar to her in the past, and challenge herself from the beginning.

Talking about the choice of her friend, Qiu Qinyi admitted that the most touching thing was that Xu Haoyi once told herself: "I just want to challenge myself and see if there is anything I can't do." Even though making a movie is the most tiring and complicated job she has ever done, she doubted herself and thought about giving up several times, but in the end she decided to persevere and not be limited by her existing identity.

Qiu Qinyi believes that when many people reach a certain stage in life, they are often easily bound by their past achievements and labels, and are afraid of leaving their comfort zone, but ignore what they really want to pursue. She mentioned the concept of "individuation" in Jungian psychology and believed that the first half of life is about hard work. While striving to build professionalism and achievements, the second half is about finding those parts of yourself that you have never lived out in the past, bringing creativity, adventure, and desire back into your life. "It turns out that life is not just about living in one way," but there are opportunities to see more aspects of yourself at different stages.

Through this interview, Qiu Qinyi also rethinks the meaning of life and success. She said that many people strive to live the way others expect, but they are not necessarily truly happy. Therefore, it is more important to ask yourself whether what you are pursuing now is the life you want. At the same time, she was inspired by Xu Haoyi's life turn and believed that when you are willing to try things you have never done before and bravely become a different self, your life will have the opportunity to become more complete.
