Her name is Li Leyou, a girl who came out of the mountains of Yunnan Province, and fate once cruelly pushed her into the abyss.
Her mother died young, her father was imprisoned, and she could only live with her elderly grandparents.
The ridicule in the village and the lonely shouts in the mountains filled her childhood with helplessness and longing.
However, an adventure in "Metamorphosis" allowed her to meet "mother" Wu Li, igniting a mother-daughter relationship across classes.
At that moment, from the mountains to Dalian, from inferiority complex to self-confidence, Li Leyou's life has undergone a huge change, so many years later, how is she doing now?
Li Leyou spent his childhood in a small mountain village in Honghe, Yunnan Province, where life was simple but difficult.
The muddy paths, the dilapidated houses, and her pants, which had been worn for two years and had a big hole, were all microcosms of her early life.
Her mother died of illness when she was one and a half years old, and her father was sentenced to prison for a crime, leaving her young and elderly grandparents to live together
The family was so poor that it was difficult to even maintain a basic life, and his grandparents relied on their meager income and farming to support Li Leyou.
Even so, she always had a smile on her face and a tenacity in her eyes that did not match her age.
She would hum songs on the way to school, and she would never complain even though her shoes were worn out.
In 2015, the "Metamorphosis" program team walked into this small mountain village, Li Leyou was only eight years old, handsome, with big eyes, like he could talk.
At that moment, the show not only changed her life, but also made countless viewers remember this stubborn and optimistic little girl.
In the show, she was sent to Dalian to experience city life, and also met Wu Li, a divorced entrepreneur, a "city mother" who lives a rich life but longs for family warmth.
Wu Li and her son Cui Jin became the most important people in Li Leyou's life.
After the show, Wu Li did not let this short-term fate end, she decided to adopt Li Leyou, take her away from the barren mountain village, come to Dalian, and start a new life.
When she first arrived in Dalian, Li Leyou was like a cautious bird, and the city's high-rise buildings, dazzling shopping malls, and brand-new textbooks in the school made her both curious and unfamiliar.
Wu Li took good care of her, bought her new clothes, a new school bag, and took her to eat food she had never tasted.
Cui Jin, the brother who is more than ten years older than her, also pampers her as his own sister, Cui Jin himself has experienced the divorce of his parents and knows what it is like to lose, so he is extremely gentle with Li Leyou.
He would accompany her with her homework, take her to the playground, and even give her expensive gifts on holidays
Gradually, Li Leyou adapted to his new life, with more smiles on his face and brighter eyes.
Wu Li's family is well-off, she not only provided Li Leyou with superior material conditions, but also allowed her to receive a good education.
From primary school to middle school, Li Leyou's learning environment has completely changed, in the past, it was difficult for her to see even a complete extracurricular book in the village, but now she has her own bookshelf, which is full of all kinds of books.
She began to learn English, piano, and even dance, which were unattainable dreams for her in the past
Wu Li never forced her to be as good as she could, she just hoped that she could try more and find what she liked.
With the passage of time, Li Leyou grew up and became a slim girl, her appearance is delicate, her facial features are exquisite, and many people say that she is a bit like Rainie Yang
She began to learn to dress up, occasionally wearing light makeup, wearing the dress that Wu Li had chosen for her, and standing in front of the mirror with a shy smile.
Wu Li's love for her has never decreased, and even said that after graduating from college, she gave her a house worth millions of dollars, so that she has no worries about material things.
崔晉也一直把她當寶貝妹妹,逢年過節總會送她貴重的禮物,比如價值超過五萬元的禮品,件件都帶著哥哥的心意。
In this new family, Li Leyou felt not only material wealth, but also full of love.
After going to college, Li Leyou's life became more colorful, she chose the major she was interested in, and she also received some advertising endorsements in her spare time, and slowly became famous on the Internet.
On her social media accounts, she often shares her daily life, and in photos of her smiling confidently, the sea view of Dalian or the boulevard of the campus are in the background.
Netizens watched her changes and sighed that she was the "luckiest girl" in "Metamorphosis".
But Li Leyou has never forgotten her roots, she will regularly go back to Yunnan to visit her grandparents, and every time she goes back, she brings a lot of gifts, chats with them, and helps them work.
She knew that without the persistence of the year and the appearance of her godmother Wu Li, she would not be where she is today.
Li Leyou's growth is also inseparable from the company of Wu Li and Cui Jin, although Wu Li has a busy career, she will always find time to accompany her, take her on trips, and see different scenery.
Cui Jin is more like a big brother and friend, who will give her advice when she is confused and encourage her to pursue her dreams bravely.
This reorganized family has no blood relationship, but it is warmer than many biological families, and Li Leyou has learned to be grateful and how to love others in such an environment.
She began to pay attention to public welfare, participated in some charity activities, and wanted to use her strength to help more people in need.
Now, Li Leyou, who is 2025 years old, is already a young man in her early twenties, she is still the girl who loves to laugh, but she is more mature and confident than when she was a child.
University life has broadened Li Leyou's horizons, and she began to plan for the future, wanting to break through in her studies and career.
Wu Li and Cui Jin are still her strongest backing, and they support her unconditionally no matter what she decides.
At home in Dalian, she has her own room, and the walls are covered with photos of her with her family and friends, and in every photo, her smile is so bright.
Li Leyou has changed from a rural girl with a bumpy fate to a "princess" surrounded by love.
Her experience is like a book, and with every page you turn on, you can feel warmth and hope.
Whether it is the sea breeze in Dalian or the mountain roads in Yunnan, they have witnessed her growth.
Li Leyou uses her own efforts and gratitude to give back to all those who love her, and she is also writing her life in her own way.
