In less than half a year, He Yuchu's image became associated with the learning machines, making her recognizable even on the streets.
It seems that this advertisement was too successful, and the director greatly admired He Yuchu. In the next two years, he would occasionally invite her to shoot one or two print ads, sometimes for children's clothing, sometimes for children's shoes. No matter what she was shooting, she performed exceptionally well.
When she graduated from elementary school, the company saw her potential and signed her up for her first TV series.
The series told the sorrow of an era. Although it ended well, over thirty of the forty-plus episodes were intensely sad. He Yuchu played a little girl who, having lost both parents, had no one willing to adopt her, and had to work hard to please distant relatives, spending most of the scenes in tears.
