  Mr.Jackson realized that his sons had a lot of talent(才能),and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians.In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good.He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.

  Practice makes perfect.And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape.When the Jacksons took their first professional jobs, their total pay was only five dollars!They kept on working.They played at parties.They entered any bigger contests.

  They worked at clubs.Then word of this group began to get around.All of a sudden, the Jackson Five became popular in the country:their first album(歌曲集)sold a million copies!Michael, 11 years old then, was the star.It just didn't seem possible that so much talent could come from such a young performer.

  Then Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱)songs.For the following years Michael has always been on the top.One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!

  When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯):acting.“I plan to star in movies,”he told his friends,“but of course, my first love is music.”

  Michael wrote a lot of his own songs.“Songs came about in the strangest ways,”he said.“I'll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head.And then I put it down on the paper.”Whatever he is doing, it works!

  Still, with all his success, Michael manages to keep his head calm.“I just do a different job from other people,”he said,“but it doesn't make me think I'm better than other people.”

  To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!

Wang is the youngest child of a poor family in Hebei province . Dreaming of becoming an actor, he left home at the age of 8 to study kung fu at Shaolin Temple, since kung-fu actors seemed to appear most often on the big screen.

At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He worked at a construction site(建筑工地)for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary(临时的)actors.

This was the most difficult time for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie “Blind Shaft”. He was chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his success didn’t make any difference to his life.

That year, he went home for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around US$250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first set foot in the city. His life was as simple as before.

Thanks to his natural performance in “Blind Shaft,” he was invited by the famous director Feng Xiaogang to act in the film “A World Without Thieves” in 2004, which made him famous

immediately. People called him “Shagen,” the name of his character in the movie.

Wang’s latest work, “Soldiers’ Sortie” has made him the most popular actor on the Chinese mainland . For the actor, it’s a dream coming true.

“Dreams come true. I think my life is exactly a course of pursuing(追求)dreams. No matter how tough one thing is, I can make it as long as I put great effort into it,” he said.
