The director department of the Central Academy of Drama resumed enrollment in 1979, but only once recruited once in three years. He did not take the exam in the first year. He could only wait for three years.

In the meantime, Ren Ming carefully learned professional books and actively sought practical opportunities. When the crew of the Central Experimental Theater "Jian Zhen Dongdu" ran the dragon, he was introduced to the director of the Chinese opera director Bai Yanbin because he seriously attracted the attention of starring Li Fa Zeng, and later went to the classroom to listen.

In 1982, Ren Ming was admitted to the director of the Chinese Opera. His classmate Liu Wei still remembers the scene on the first day of the school to sit around the rehearsal classroom as a self -introduction: "A tall classmate, telling himself for three years, worked hard, admitted to the director of the Chinese opera director This is his only volunteer and goal, and it has been realized today.
