This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area is no longer a stage for traffic stars to show themselves, and all the participating stars are artists with eye-catching representative works in the entertainment industry.
They are dazzling on the stage, maybe everyone still remembers the Chinese singer who has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for 24 consecutive years***However, in front of the TV screen, ** has not appeared for many years.
The songs she once sang were widely praised by the public, and many people would wonder why *** went to ** and why it suddenly disappeared. How is she doing now?Today, let me lead you into the world of the queen of folk songs*** and explore the transformation in her life.
In 1966, a baby girl was born in a village in Guzhang County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province, accompanied by a loud cry. No one thought that this ordinary baby girl would become the pride of the Chinese in the future and dominate the world.
**'s parents have been farmers for generations, making a living from farming. In this village with only a dozen families, **'s childhood was very lonely. As the eldest daughter in the family, she helps her parents with household chores. No matter how hot the weather is, ** always works hard in the fields like a woman.
Mother has always thought that *** is an obedient and good girl.
When I was in elementary school, my home was far away from the school, and I had to walk several kilometers of mountain roads to get to school. Each time, she and her village mates had to trek through mountains and rivers, climb several mountains, and toss for hours to reach the school.
** is an honest student, and the same is true in school. He is an introvert and not as flamboyant as the mischievous classmates in his class. In contrast, always avoiding causing trouble, which makes people like him.
originally thought that life could continue to go on peacefully and smoothly, but in the year of ***10, my father suffered from tuberculosis, and this sudden illness was simply worse for the already poor family.
In order to let my father get enough ** and recuperate, ** was sent by my mother to live at my grandmother's house. However, my grandmother's house is located in a more remote village, which makes *** feel very depressed. When she felt sad, she couldn't find a place to vent, so she could only talk to the crops in the field.
Gradually, she found that she seemed to have developed a love for singing, so whenever she felt bored, she would come to the top of the mountain and sing a few words aloud. After venting her emotions, she suddenly found that she was in a much better mood.
**'s life is more fun because of the arrival of his younger siblings, after school or on weekends, he always takes them to the mountains with small baskets to pick chestnuts or go down to the river to catch fish.
** Affectionate and friendly to his father, often rushing back to his home from his grandmother's house, chatting with his father and taking care of his illness by the way. In the memory of ***, my father was a multi-talented man who could do anything.
Not only did my father grow crops, but he was also good at cutting clothes, and he often sewed new clothes for his siblings, all by himself.
In addition to being busy with housework, his father is also a person who loves **, he likes to play the erhu and play the flute, perhaps this **cell has also been passed on to *** to a certain extent
**At the age of 12, despite the good picture, my father's tuberculosis worsened again. At that time, the level of medical science was limited, and he could not save his father, so he could only endure the torture of illness. One night, ** heard his father's weak cough, and then his father passed away.
**Witnessing the death of a loved one, the heart suffered a heavy blow, and the grandmother could not bear the inner torment due to the death of her son, and finally passed away due to sadness.
** Staring at the younger siblings at home, the mood fluctuates, because the pillar of support in the family is no longer there, and the burden of the family is on the shoulders of the mother. In order to soothe the pain in her heart, ** began to take on the responsibilities of the elders in the family, and in addition to her studies, she devoted all her time to household chores, mountain and forest work, and field farming.
Whenever there is a distress or a small joy, ** always chooses to tell his story through singing. At that time, she didn't know much about **, but for her, happiness was enough.
It seems that fate does not favor her, and then her younger brother suffered an accident, and in the process of **, because of the misuse of drugs, he eventually became deaf and mute.
Shocked by such an outcome, as accidents have occurred repeatedly and family support has begun to have problems.
For a long time, there was a desire to drop out of school to relieve the pressure on the mother, but the mother did not agree. Fortunately, my mother insisted on her opinion, which also made ***'s life go through great changes after that.
In junior high school, her teachers found that she usually behaved quietly and gently, but once she started singing, she completely changed her image.
In 1981, at the age of 15, *** joined the Guzhang County Opera Troupe, her voice was not professionally trained, and she remained pure and clear, without being too modified.
During the assessment, ** won the recognition of two recruitment teachers with her pure natural voice, which was also the first opportunity provided by God for her to change her life.
**After joining the opera company, he received professional training and was given special privilege for his gifted voice. In addition to basic actor training, the troupe also arranged for him to have a vocal teacher, which was the first time in his life that he received vocal education.
As a naturally talented person, it is naturally easy to learn. After a year of hard work, ** successfully passed the annual assessment and officially became a member of the Guzhang County Opera Troupe. As a regular employee, she can finally receive a salary.
Although the troupe did not arrange a suitable role for *** at the beginning, she was only a guest extra, but *** still showed herself very seriously, because she cherished the opportunity to come out of the village very much. In the end, with the repertoire of "Gambling Soul", ** successfully gained more attention.
In a performance in the countryside, the main actors were unable to participate due to temporary matters, so the opportunity fell to ***. Despite the suddenness of the task, *** self-disciplined memorized the lines of all the actors in "Soul Gamblers", so that he was finally able to perform smoothly on stage without any mistakes.
Everyone recognized this natural heroine with a standard melon seed face and clear eyes, after the performance.
In less than half a year, ** has become the object of focus in the regiment. At that time, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture happened to open a Hua Dan Xi lecture class, and as an outstanding backbone of the troupe, *** participated in this class on behalf Xi of the opera troupe.
**First time in the city, from county to state. After a month of hard work Xi Xi class practice, he has made great progress in all aspects, learned his true skills, and naturally has to show them.
The night before, while preparing to go home, the Xi class organized an evening party. ** Took the initiative to invite Ying and sang a song "Bosom Friend". Her performance was warmly loved by the audience, and even the radio station in Guzhang County began to loop *** beautiful singing.
After experiencing many novelties, ** began to think about her career development, she believes that only by going out can she better realize her value, so she intends to go all out, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity.
Soon after the end of the Xi class, the Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe invited *** to appear in "Bloody Hundred Birds", which is a key project in the state. This rare opportunity gave *** the opportunity to get on a bigger stage and communicate with all kinds of people, which made her deeply realize that she still needs to work harder.
In 1983, ** ushered in an important opportunity to broaden her horizons, she was transferred to the Xiangxi team and went to Beijing to participate in the National Ulan Herding Art Show, which marked the first time she left her hometown to arrive in the bustling city of Beijing.
She left Guzhang County in 1984 to join the Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe, but her good fortune didn't end there.
The enrollment situation of the music and dance department of the college is not ideal, so they go to the Xiangxi area to recruit students. At that time, *** looked unusually beautiful in the crowd, and she exuded a dazzling light, which attracted the attention of the admissions officers and was immediately favored.
**Just a student who has not completed junior high school, if you want to enter *** college, culture is an obstacle that must be overcome, but *** is determined to be admitted. When I was a child, I lived in a closed mountain village, where I couldn't see or touch anything, and the kind of days when I saw the end at a glance made people feel terrible just thinking about it.
** Resolutely picked up the book and began to overcome all difficult knowledge. She worked hard to find a way to find a way to overcome difficulties, and finally succeeded in entering university in 1985 with a junior high school degree. Such a counterattack allowed her to realize her dream of entering *** Academy, which was something she had never dared to imagine in her life.
In school, the fate of ** began to change, thanks to the professional guidance of Luo Yingxiu and Zhou Benqing, his ** literacy has achieved a qualitative leap.
** At the age of 21, she participated in a large-scale singing competition for the first time, and she won the first prize at the third Hunan Young Singer Competition.
In those days, in order to gain real recognition, the achievements of the Youth Song Contest were an important way to prove their strength, because many well-known singers had to go through this test.
In the third Youth Song Competition, ** regrettably fell off the list, which made her deeply feel the huge gap between herself and others. However, despite the loss, she still chose to challenge herself again, and in the competition with Cai Guoqing, Zhang Mi, Wan Shanhong and other singers, she successfully won the bronze award with her own strength.
**Won the Golden Dragon Cup Singer Contest in October of the same year, and was subsequently accepted by Jin Tielin as a disciple**. This move has achieved a qualitative leap in the professional level.
In 1990, a song "Little Back Basket" swept the country, ** became a highlight of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with its singing voice and appearance, and the audience praised the imperfection when they saw this dignified singer.
Since then, ** has become a well-known female singer, and the Spring Festival Gala has also formed an indissoluble bond with her for 24 years. In the next 24 years, ** has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala every year as scheduled, and her singing voice and appearance are desirable. "How are you" (2000), "Getting Better and Better" (2001), "Looking at the Moon" (2004), "Flying" (2005) and other works have become household classics.
**After becoming popular, he began to integrate with international standards, and went to Europe, Australia and Southeast Asian countries for art exchanges many times. In order to improve at the professional level, she applied to apply for the graduate school of China's ** college.
In 2002, she appeared on the stage of the Youth Song Contest again, but this time her identity has changed, from a former contestant to a professional judge.
** In December last year, she performed a singing performance at the Sydney Opera House, which was the first Asian to hold a concert at the theater. She is eager to spread her ** art all over the world, which is exactly what she dreames. She hopes that through her singing, she can reach more people and make more people listen.
In 2003, the Vienna Musikverein sent a sincere invitation to the famous ** hall, inviting *** to hold her own solo ** concert there.
In 2006, he was selected for a Grammy Award as a pioneer and exemplar, and in the same year he performed as a new folk song solo at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the highest temple in the United States. At that time, ** made a significant contribution to the cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the United States.
On October 12th, Washington, D.C. set up a special "** day" to show sincere gratitude to ***. This event also led to the "Kennedy Art Gold Award", and she is the only Asian artist in the world to receive this honor.
**Since 2008, she has started her singing career in various important events such as the Olympic Games, World Expo, Asian Games and World Cup.
Decades have passed, and he has become a famous singer all over the world.
She has become famous and no longer worries about her family's financial constraints. For the sake of her mother, brother and sister, she worked hard to find a ** path of her own, and now her career has reached its peak, and all that is left is love and personal life.
We met in 1988.
At that time, the young and immature *** was busy participating in the Young Singer TV Contest, perhaps because it was the first time to participate in such a large competition, ** felt very nervous, and the final performance was not ideal.
When *** was feeling depressed, Luo Hao, the then director of Hunan TV, walked up to her and said to her with a smile: "You sing amazingly." ”
A short word, but it became a lifelong commitment to each other.
Since then, ** and Luo Hao have been frequent, but Luo Hao at that time saw that *** was also very timid, although he hoped that the relationship between the two could make progress, but he didn't dare to say it.
Luo Hao often wrote letters to ***, expressing his thoughts and asking her about her living situation and whether she needed help.
During that time, ** cherished their mutual appreciation very much, and Luo Hao finally mustered up the courage to take a crucial step. But when it came to the relationship between the two, ** was a little hesitant to retreat, because at that time she was just a girl who came out of the ravine to make a living.
In order to let Luo Hao fully understand his situation, ** directly revealed the family situation to him: "My father died of illness at an early age, and now only my mother and younger siblings depend on each other in the family, and my younger brother has become deaf and mute, which makes the family very burdened. ”
** thought that Luo Hao would take a step back when he heard these words, but Luo Hao didn't. Instead, he told *** loudly that the affairs of the family would be handled by him, and he would treat his younger brother, sister, and mother as his own family.
**The hanging heart was put down under Luo Hao's assurance.
In the spring of 1992, after four years of love, Luo Hao finally married his beloved *** After marriage, their relationship has been very good, growing together with each other and working together. Luo Hao has always fully supported the pursuit of *** career, and their happy family has given her a great sense of security.
In the thirteenth year after the two got married, that is, in 2005, they ushered in the birth of their son, and the family changed from a two-person world to a family of three, which was more complete.
In the 2013 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, ** stood on the stage and sang a song "Jasmine" for the national audience and friends, which was also her last performance in the Spring Festival Gala.
The 55-year-old *** is rarely seen in the public eye now, and she has decided to spend more time with her family, but still works for the company.
Although she gradually faded out of the audience's sight, ** is still the idol of the whole people, she is the girl who struggled hard from Guzhang County, overcame many difficulties, and was reborn like Nirvana. She flew over Xiaozhai like a golden phoenix, and she has no regrets with her beloved ** for a lifetime.
Not everyone can return to ordinary family life after achieving fame. ** Write her fate so far, her life can be described as wonderful. I look forward to being able to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, and I also hope that she can create more ** works.
