Wang, who has twice won the Plum Performance Award — China's top award for theater and opera performances — started to learn the traditional art form in 1977. Born with a melodic voice, Wang loved to sing and dance when she was little. She performed frequently, and was recruited by the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe（剧团）when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe's invitation, insisting that she should concentrate on her studies and not drop out of school. After members of the troupe visited the parents repeatedly and showed great sincerity, Wang's parents finally agreed. Learning the traditional art form was never easy. She started to learn how to pronounce words, sing them lyrically and make gestures gently. As an actress playing martial artists roles at first, she had to spend extra time practicing kung fu movements. Years later, Wang used the word "unimaginable" to describe how hard the days were when she first learned Kunqu. She was soaked in sweat when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains（冻疮）on her hands when training in shabby classrooms with broken windows. "But I was young and determined at the time. No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice," Wang recalls. Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s, when she watched the show Peony Pavilion performed by Zhang Jiqing, a master of the art form, it clicked. "I was shocked," Wang says. "Her every movement was full of elegance and delicacy. Each of her lines and songs was perfect. I was overwhelmed（难以禁受）by the beauty of Kunqu for the first time in my life, and it has stayed with me since." Now, Wang has herself become a master of Kunqu.
