I remember those years, whenever Cai Guoqing's singing sounded, it seemed that the whole world was immersed in that touching melody. At that time, he was like a bright star in the entertainment industry, unmatched. But time flies, time flies, and today's Cai Guoqing is no longer the peerless superstar of the year. 
At the age of 55, his steps seem to have become a little heavy, and every step he takes seems to be fighting against the whole world. What was once praise and applause has now turned into indifference, exclusion and accusation. Watching him sway in the wind and rain, we can't help but ask: how did this former music legend get to where he is today? 
His achievements are undeniable, and those classic songs are still sung by people today. But why does he seem to "lose" to himself on the stage of life? Was his choice wrong, or had the world changed? Music legend Cai Guoqing: Cai Guoqing, a superstar in the music world who has achieved hard training as a teenager, was born in 1968 in a family full of art. The father is a baritone singer, and the expectations for his son are naturally very high. When he was 3 years old, when other children were still playing, Xiao Guoqing was already sitting in front of the piano and started his ** journey. 
However, Cai Guoqing also had a "rebellious" time in his childhood. When he was 4 years old, he went to his grandmother's house because of the change of environment, and without his father's strict discipline, he had a lot of fun and learned? That was long forgotten by him. But his father's eyes were bright, and he quickly picked him up and sent him to the Wuqi Cadre School. 
Life there is not as easy as at home, getting up early to hang your voice, singing, practicing basic dance skills, and the schedule is full every day. But it was this kind of rigorous training that allowed Cai Guoqing to lay a solid foundation, and also allowed him to sing popular songs of that era, whether it was Soviet songs or Korean songs, with full charm. 
When he was 7 years old, Cai Guoqing joined the **TV Children's Choir, and the champions of various ** competitions were also soft. When he was 10 years old, he sang for Sihanouk, the father of the nation of Cambodia, at the Great Hall of the People and became famous in one fell swoop. His singing voice is crisp and beautiful, every time it comes.
Five. 1. On National Day and other festivals, his singing echoes in the streets and alleys. However, just when everyone thought that Cai Guoqing would devote himself to singing, he suddenly "changed careers" and learned martial arts. It turned out that it was all my father's suggestion. 
In the three years of sports school, he endured hardships and stood hard work, and never complained. And this experience also added a lot of color to his future acting career. The road from "delicate boy" to the peak of singing In 1977, Cai Guoqing was a young man in the limelight, and when he applied for the Chinese opera acting youth class, he was almost rejected because he was too delicate. Oops, this is a big deal for our Cai Guoqing! He thought to himself, "I'm not a vase, I've got to show them with my hands." ”
So, he showed a set of martial arts he learned in the martial arts school on the spot, and the momentum and skill made the teachers stunned. In this way, Cai Guoqing successfully stepped into the door of Chinese opera. In the days of Chinese opera, Cai Guoqing was not idle. In order to cultivate his temperament as a worker, peasant and soldier, the teachers let him play the image of a small rural soldier such as "Tuwazi" and "Xiaogazi" in every rehearsal. 
It's really hard for our "showy boy". However, Cai Guoqing is a caring person, and he relies on tenacity to play these roles vividly. After graduation, Cai Guoqing also tried to act in movies, but he never let himself leave his name in the film industry. He thought to himself, "That's it, let's go back to my old profession and sing." ”
So, in 1986, he released his first singing ** "The Addition of Love", which was amazing and directly made him famous. Later, he was selected by Beijing to participate in the national 100 singers concert, which really made his singing career go to the next level. 
The time came to 1990, which was a bumper year for Cai Guoqing. He rushed to participate in the two concerts of "The Eve of the Asian Games" and "May Day Labor" on May Day, which not only proved his strength, but also showed everyone his dedication. And the "Bridge of Beijing" he sang at the National Youth Singer Competition was a smash hit, making people remember this singer with a unique voice.
With the growth of fame, Cai Guoqing also attracted the attention of Lang Kun, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. Lang Kun personally took Cai Guoqing to the famous composer Gu Jianfen's house to ask for cooperation, which really flattered Cai Guoqing. So, in the Spring Festival Gala in 1991, we saw Cai Guoqing singing "Go to the Distance", and at the Lantern Festival Gala that year, he sang a divine comedy "Three Hundred and Sixty-five Blessings" that is still circulating today.
These two large-scale galas undoubtedly pushed Cai Guoqing's career to the highest peak. However, just when Cai Guoqing's career was in full swing, the crisis quietly came. From "Cream Boy" to a military singer, glory and controversy coexistIn 1991, an article titled "Sweet Singer, Dead Man" was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.
The author of this article, Hedong, was unceremonious to Cai Guoqing, and directly criticized him for not having masculinity, and he was a "cream boy". Oh, it's good now, Cai Guoqing has become the target of public criticism, commercial performances have been canceled, and he himself has fallen into deep self-doubt. But ah, it's gold that always shines. Although he was labeled as a "cream boy", Cai Guoqing's strength is not covered. On the 20th anniversary of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, he was invited to Japan to record songs, not to mention the quantity, and the quality was quite guaranteed.
Matsuzaki, a famous Japanese producer, was full of praise for him, calling him "an artist who is proud of his motherland and a singer who brings dreams and hopes". In 1993, he joined the army and joined the People's Liberation Army General Political Song and Dance Troupe, which caused a sensation throughout the country at that time. The head of the conscription station also praised him in particular, saying that many young people were influenced by him to join the army.
In his first year as a soldier, Cai Guoqing completed more than 100 unpaid performances and made a third-class meritorious service. This is really a real demonstration of its worth! In the new century, Cai Guoqing stepped onto the international stage and participated in the Grammy ceremony in the United States. He also often followed the General Political Song and Dance Troupe to visit foreign countries to perform, and in 2002, he was awarded the third-class merit of the People's Liberation Army for his outstanding performance. This is really a glory for the country!
However, there are many people who are popular. Just when Cai Guoqing's career was in full swing, there was an unforgivable incident. The bumpy road from "back-pot man" to "multi-habitat artist" recalls the Sino-Japanese friendship exchange meeting in 2004, Cai Guoqing may still have lingering palpitations. That night, he was dressed in a kimono and sang in Japanese as arranged, but he unexpectedly touched the sensitive nerves of some Chinese people. Waves of anger poured in, and some even clamored to strip him of his military rank.
He just sang according to the requirements, how did he become a '**thief'? Someone defended him like this, but in the face of the angry **, such a voice seemed so weak. Cai Guoqing was speechless, so he could only choose to be silent and silently endure this unwarranted disaster. Time flies, and in 2009, Cai Guoqing stood in front of the public again as the host. This time, the ratings of "Extraordinary Instructions" hosted by him have been climbing, and his talent has been recognized by more people. However, controversy always seems to be with him.
In one episode of the program, he sharply commented on the guest Guo Degang's "not doing his job", and believed that a cross talk actor should not get involved in the film and television industry. This remark immediately caused heated discussions, with some supporting his views and others believing that he was jealous of Guo Degang's success. And Guo Degang's partner Yu Qian's words made him speechless: "You are engaged in vocal music, aren't you also filming and being a host?" ”
This sentence was like a hammer, which made Cai Guoqing wake up instantly. He realized that he had unknowingly become a "multi-habitat artist", and perhaps he should be more tolerant and understanding of the choices of other artists. From a national idol to a kind predecessor, the years have not diminished, and when we look back, Cai Guoqing seems to have always been that young face, but if you calculate carefully, he is over fifty years old. However, age is just a number for him, because he is still active in major variety shows and maintains that indissoluble bond with the audience.
On the stage of variety shows, Cai Guoqing never puts on a show. On the contrary, he always won the audience with his humorous words and funny manners. Once, he gasped and said, "Big brother, you're so big......"A lot of strength" instantly detonated the audience and made people laugh. Such Cai Guoqing is affectionately called "Cai Keyun" by everyone, and he himself happily accepted this title, and even personally certified it on social platforms.
However, there are always some voices who question his performance, believing that as a soldier, he should show a tougher and more masculine side. In this regard, Cai Guoqing faced it calmly. In the program "Brother Who Overcomes Difficulties", when other artists complained to his face that he was too cute, he did not get angry, but responded calmly: "I just like this, it can bring joy and sunshine to everyone." This calmness and self-confidence make people have to admire his mentality and mind.
Cai Guoqing not only keeps up with the fashion trend ideologically, but also gets along with the younger generations like a fish in water. His cooperation with the 0713 men's group on the stage is full of tacit understanding, and he is also a teacher and friend in private. He once said in an interview that he would try his best to make 0713 go to the Spring Festival Gala, and according to **Reuters, this year's Spring Festival Gala does have Chen Chusheng, Su Xing and other 0713 members. It seems that Mr. Cai Guoqing does walk his word, and his promotion and recommendation give the young juniors more opportunities and stages.
From a national idol when he was young to a kind predecessor who supports young people today, Cai Guoqing's role is changing, but what remains unchanged is his love for art and sincerity to the audience.
Such an artist deserves our respect and love. He proved with his strength and actions that age is not a measure of a person's value, and true talent and charm can transcend the limitations of time, space and age, infect and move people's hearts.
