For 75 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday nights, Xu Lingzi takes an acting class to pursue her dream of becoming an actor, leaving behind her day-time job at a company in Chongqing.
Although acting had been her dream since she was young, Xu chose architectural design as her major at university and entered the corporate world upon graduation. Her passion for acting was reignited in September when she heard about the acting classes by accident.
Xu said that in addition to gaining acting skills, the classes also help her to reflect on her life and to understand herself more fully. “There was one time that the acting coach noticed that I was wandering around on stage.
