Throughout their long journey in the performing arts, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, with their sincere love and relentless pursuit of the art, have created many unforgettable characters and performed touching stories. Behind this, their endless creative inspiration, like a gently flowing spring, stems from their meticulous understanding and insight into life.

Strolling through the streets and alleys every day, the everyday life of ordinary people is a vivid script. Ling Yichen often stops in the bustling market to watch the old farmer selling vegetables, his rough hands tightly clutching the fruits and vegetables he has just picked, his face full of wrinkles but hiding a simple smile, and his shouts revealing his enthusiasm and expectations for life.

"That is the purest song of life. From them, I can feel the resilient pulse of ordinary people striving to live," he remarked.

These scenes of everyday life became the source of his inner strength when interpreting the roles of those struggling at the bottom of society. They gave the characters a vibrant life force of resilience in adversity and finding light in the smallest things, as if he had infused the characters with a soul, making them leap off the page and feel real and tangible.

Jun Mo Ran is particularly fond of old alleys and lanes, with their winding cobblestone paths flanked by weathered ancient walls and wooden doors and windows. Neighbors sit at their doorways chatting, a palm-leaf fan waving as if telling a story of bygone days. Once, he witnessed an elderly neighbor patiently teaching a child to identify herbs, his eyes filled with love and a sense of passing on traditions—a scene that was deeply etched into his heart. Later, when portraying a master craftsman upholding traditional skills, that focused expression and profound emotion instantly came to mind. Every gesture revealed the craftsman's dedication and warmth, vividly depicting the image of a traditional cultural inheritor's unwavering commitment to preserving skills and meticulously guiding the younger generation. The audience felt as if they were on that old street, filled with the warmth of human life, immersed in an atmosphere where bygone years and cultural heritage intertwined.

Travel also unlocked a treasure trove of inspiration for them. Ling Yichen stepped onto the vast, boundless loess land of Northwest China, where sandstorms raged and the setting sun cast its golden rays upon ancient beacon towers, a sense of grandeur and magnificence overwhelming him. Faced with this scene, he envisioned the resolute faces of border guards, steadfastly defending their homeland amidst the desolation, enduring wind and rain, always ready for battle. This understanding, integrated into his portrayal of characters in period dramas, added a heroic spirit and profound patriotism. From battlefield roars to tentative contemplation, his characters displayed heroic ambition and responsibility, imbuing them with historical weight and reflecting the warmth of real history within fictional narratives.

Jun Mo Ran, boating through the water towns of Jiangnan, watched his small boat glide leisurely by. On both banks stood white-walled, black-tiled houses, weeping willows, and the murmuring stream flowed beneath the bridges. Girls smiled gently by the bridges, the sound of washing clothes adding a rhythm to life. This picturesque scenery and gentle human warmth nurtured his delicate emotions when portraying classical love stories. His characters meet in misty alleyways, their eyes filled with affection, their words unspoken, perfectly capturing the hazy, unspoken love of Jiangnan. Like ink wash painting, poetry flows through every scene, every line, evoking in the audience a pure longing for classical romance.

Beyond external experiences, the inner turmoil and emotional entanglements also provided a rich source of inspiration. Ling Yichen had experienced the low point of being misunderstood by a close friend and becoming estranged. Those sleepless nights, filled with grievances yet yearning for reconciliation, became precious material for his portrayal of the conflicts and repair in friendships. The anger and helplessness of the characters facing the suspicion of their close friends, their cautiousness and sincere efforts to break the ice, all reflect his own personal pain and unwavering commitment. The distinct emotional layers and meticulous details allow the audience to easily empathize and feel deeply moved by the friendship between the characters.

Jun Mo Ran, deeply moved by the loss of a loved one, reflected on the pain of separation and the bonds of family. In subsequent performances of family dramas, he precisely captured the character's complex emotions, from reluctance at the bedside to feigned strength at the funeral. With silent tears and subtle trembling, he conveyed the profound weight of family love, allowing the deep bond of blood and the separation of life and death to resonate deeply with the audience. This evoked a sense of longing and cherishing for loved ones within the viewers, imbuing the character with an emotional power that transcended the plot. The character became an emotional link carrying the theme of family love, conveying the profound love life offers and the profound understanding of life's impermanence.

The mundane daily life, the grand scenery, the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs in their hearts—Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan carefully collect and repeatedly savor all of these, turning them into sparks of creative inspiration. They ignite the artistic bonfire of character creation and story weaving, continuously shining brightly on their acting journey. They give back to life with artistic interpretations rooted in life, reflecting the myriad aspects of the world and the diverse lives of people.
