"What kind of mirror do you wake up in the morning? What floral scent to comb an oily head?What kind of pollen is rubbed on the face? What kind of bonus? ”
In 1961, when the Peking Opera "Selling Water" appeared on the stageThe little maid "Mei Ying", who has "smart eyes and beautiful singing", became famous in one fell swoop
This also allows students to start learning Peking Opera at the age of 9."Liu Changyu".I also see hope.
She was 19 years old when she played "Mei Ying", and she thought that "Mei Ying" in "Selling Water" was amazing enoughUnexpectedly, "Li Tiemei" in "Red Lantern" made the audience's eyes shine.
"Wearing a red cotton jacket, a long braid, and a red head rope".This is "Li Tiemei" in "Red Lantern", and of course it is also the famous Peking Opera artist "Liu Changyu".
The "Li Tiemei" on the stage is both smart and brave, which makes people admire itBut no one knows that Liu Changyu has suffered a lot in life.
In that particular era, her fame did not bring her much benefit,During the day, she is a beautiful actor on the stage, and off the stage, she is Liu Changyu, who always has to write a review.
And the reason why she is treated like this is also closely related to her backgroundBut in Liu Changyu's opinion, he didn't do anything wrong, why did he treat her like this?
But these are only a small part of her experience, and the most painful thing for her is that she finally became a family with the person she lovesBut after only 4 months of marriage, the two were separated from each other and could never see each other again.
But then she met a person who shared her heartBut this time, her regret is no longer a lover, but a child......
The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and ......bones”
It is no longer appropriate to use this sentence to summarize Liu Changyu's life experienceAfter all, since she was born, it has been inseparable from the word "tribulation".
In 1942, she was born in an era of war and factionsAnd her father Zhou Dawen is a good brother of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, and also served as the mayor of Beiping City.
And in her family, she is not an only child, on the contrary, she has a full 14 siblings in her family, of courseShe has only one sister and one younger brother.
Her mother is Zhou Dawen's third aunt's wife, although her background is not good, she is the most favored one by Zhou DawenAnd Liu Changyu, as a girl, was able to get in touch with Peking Opera, and she also had an inseparable connection with her father.
Zhou Dawen is a person who likes to listen to operas very much, and when she was young, she would always take her to listen to operas in the opera garden, and over timeShe can also learn to hum a few words, and she has also developed a lot of interest in Peking Opera.
But her happy life didn't last longWhen she was 3 years old, her father was imprisoned for carrying the title of "traitor".After his father was imprisoned, the whole family was treated differently.
For the growth of the children, after the new marriage law came out,Her mother divorced her father and lived alone with her three children, and she began to take her mother's surname.
Because there is not much culture,The mother relied on needlework to earn money to raise the children little by little.
At the age of 9, because of Liu Changyu's talent, he was admitted to the China Academy of Drama and began to study Peking Opera seriouslyFrom the age of 9 to 17, she studied Danjiao for 8 years.
But she didn't stop there, and she was reeled in the meantimeMaster Xun Huishengbegan to learn Tsing Yi, Dao Ma Dan, etcStudying day after day also laid the foundation for her to be reused later.
At the age of 17, she left the theater where she had studied for 8 yearsHe was assigned to the experimental troupe of the Chinese Academy of Drama as an actor.
Because of her diligence and studiousness, after entering the troupe, she was taught by Li Yuru and many other famous artists, and it didn't take long for her to be transferred to the China Peking Opera Troupe, and she had a good life in those years, but greater suffering awaits her to come.
At the age of 19, she starred in the famous Peking Opera "Selling Water" as the maid "Mei Ying", and became famous in one fell swoop and became an actress loved by the audience.
During this period, her career has been on the rise, and she has also gained her love.
The other party is his former classmate at the Academy of Drama,After she entered the Peking Opera Company of China, the other party also happened to come to the Peking Opera Troupe.
They have known each other for many years and are classmates, and the two already know each other very well, and they are very compatible with each other in each other's eyesIn May 1964, the two chose to register their marriage, but this fate was still too short after all!
At the beginning of marriage, Liu Changyu has been immersed in the joy of love, and she also wants to give birth to a child as soon as possibleBut what came before the children was the abnormality of the husband's body.
Especially at night, my husband always coughs non-stop, and at first both of them thought it was just an ordinary cough and just take some medicineBut it wasn't until I went to the hospital for an examination that I found out that it was not that simple.
After going to several major hospitals for examination,The news of her husband's diagnosis of lung cancer hit the hearts of the two like a thunderbolt from the blue.
At that time, suffering from cancer meant that there was no better outcome except "death", and Liu Changyu's husband also chose to be conservative under the advice of doctorsBut in the end, drugs can't resist the invasion of cancer at all.
While going to the troupe to rehearse the play, while taking care of her husband in the hospital, after such days lasted for a while, her husband still had no choice but to pass awayHis biggest wish before he passed away was, "Liu Changyu hurry up and find a good man to marry!" ”
But Liu Changyu was unwilling, she often thought: "How wrong did I do in my last life, and I have been so bitter in this life."Less than half a year after getting married, it has become a separation between heaven and man! ”
And not long after her husband's death, the regiment had to rearrange "Red Lantern".Because the actors of "Li Tiemei" before were old and needed to choose the right candidates, Liu Changyu had the opportunity to play "Li Tiemei"!
But in fact, before she starred, there was a lot of oppositionBecause of her father, many people think that "if there is a father, there must be a daughter", and they do not support her to star.
Even the head of the regiment at that time didn't want Liu Changyu to starBut in the end, there is no more suitable than "Liu Changyu".
Although she successfully played "Li Tiemei", the price was that she had to write countless review booksIt was also because of this encounter that Liu Changyu and Bai Jiyun had the fate!
Speaking of Bai Jiyun, he is also a not simple character.
He is 3 years older than Liu Changyu, and his father is the famous martial arts actor Bai Yunting, who inherited his father's genes and became an actor and martial arts instructor of the Peking Opera Company of ChinaWhenever he saw someone bullying Liu Changyu, he didn't feel good in his heart!
When others were afraid of getting too close to Liu Changyu and being implicated,Only Bai Jiyun was not afraid, on the contrary, he became Liu Changyu's confidant.
Listen to her tell her thoughts, and also listen to her share the story of the past, when Liu Changyu can't figure it out, he will take her to dance, swim, skate, etcThe friendship between the two became stronger and stronger.
Finally, in 1968, Bai Jiyun pierced everything and directly courted Liu Changyu, he said:"I don't care where you come from, I don't care about your past, I just like you as a person! ”
That time, Liu Changyu burst into tears, and it didn't take long for the two to get marriedAnd after marrying Bai Jiyun, Liu Changyu ushered in the peak of his career!
In 1971, the film version of "Red Lantern" appeared on the big screenSome people who don't watch Peking Opera also know "Li Tiemei" and "Liu Changyu".
From 80-year-olds to children, no one doesn't know "Red Lantern".At that time, Liu Changyu would still write reviews from time to time.
has been married for a long time, Liu Changyu and Bai Jiyun have been busy with their own workIt wasn't until 5 years after their marriage that the two gave birth to a son.
But his son did not trap Liu Changyu, but Bai Jiyun took the initiative to give up his job and stay at home to take care of the childrenHe wanted Liu Changyu to pursue his career.
It wasn't until after the special era passed that Liu Changyu's career began to normalizeEspecially in the 90s of the 20th century, her career ushered in another peak.
In 1994, she formed the China Youth Peking Opera Troupe, becoming the head of the troupe, and two years later, she became the executive vice president of the China Peking Opera CompanyTwo years later, she became the vice president of the Chinese Dramatists Association.
However, she was so busy that she completely neglected the education of her sonWhen the child was noisily learning Peking Opera, she directly refused.
After junior high school, my son became obsessed with Jinghu again and wanted his parents to teach him something, but this wish still did not come true because they were too busyThere was no extra time at all, just let the child teach himself, and later she regretted it.
Even if he was self-taught, Liu Changyu's son learned well, but in the end he still couldn't really embark on this roadSeeing that his mother has cultivated one national first-class actor after another, he can only envy it.
After graduating from high school, Liu Changyu's son was not admitted to university, and directly began to work in the society, and got married and had childrenBut his love for Jinghu has never diminished.
Later, Liu Changyu also regretted that she didn't teach her son well, but time has passed, and her son has become accustomed to such a dull lifeAnd now at the age of 82, she is still contributing to Peking Opera!
In October 2022, she was invited by Henan Satellite TV to join the Chongyang Wonderful Tour programIn December, she participated in the show "The Horn is Coming" again.
On January 14, 2024, Liu Changyu ushered in his 82nd birthdayA lot of ** reported on it, saying, "The people need such literary artists!" ”
Yes, even if he is 82 years old, he is in the backstage of the Peking Opera CompanyWe can still find her teaching, such an artist is what the people want!
For many young people, perhaps the name "Liu Changyu" is relatively unfamiliarBut for the post-60s, post-70s and even post-80s, she represents not only the memories of youth, but the memories of the times.
At the age of 22, when "Liu Changyu" stood on the stage to play "Li Tiemei",She didn't expect that she would accidentally create a classic!
What we didn't expect even more was thatFrom the age of 9 to the age of 82, Mr. Liu Changyu has dedicated himself to the cause of Peking Opera for more than 70 years.
And in these 70 years,Her red heart has also influenced generations!
