In the 80s, there was a pair of "** partners" in the music world, carrying the good memories of an era. They are Xie Lisi and Wang Jieshi.
Compared with today's Phoenix Legend and the Nine Moon Miracle, they are the "originators" of male and female chorus, and they are not the same as each other.
In the 80s of the last century, the two released more than a dozen **, and there were more than 200 classic songs in chorus. Their classic duet of male and female voices, internationally acclaimed, was unmatched in the 80s.
Later, there was a phrase dedicated to praising them.
"In the past, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people."
Their singing has accompanied the youth of several generations, and they can be called "milestone figures in the Chinese music scene".
Among them, the name of the singer Xie Lisi once made the audience's eyes shine at that time, because it was too foreign.
Aside from her glamorous singing career, Cheris's life is full of infinite twists and turns and sadness.
Xie Lisi was born in Chongqing in 1947, and she has a "pungent energy" in her bones.
At the age of 17, she was admitted to *** college with a very high voice talent.
After graduation, she was assigned to the China Film Academy Orchestra and became a singing actress.
And the turning point in her life started when she met Wang Jieshi.
After graduating from junior high school, Wang Jieshi joined the army, and later transferred to Beijing and became a repair worker in an automobile factory.
He was 20 years old.
Then life's chances began to beckon him.
His girlfriend encouraged him to give it a try and apply for an art school to change his fate.
"I think you're talented and shouldn't be buried in a repair shop. ”
In 1973, Wang Jieshi was admitted to the performance department of ** Drama Academy with his hard work, and changed from a worker to a student of the Academy of Performing Arts.
After graduating, Wang Jieshi was assigned to Beijing Film Studio.
However, Wang Jieshi doesn't really want to act in his heart, but likes to sing.
At the end of 1978, Wang Jieshi and the leader said: "I want to sing, but I can't act well, I don't like it very much." ”
One day, Wang Jieshi went to the film orchestra to perform, but he didn't expect that the accident became the direction of his life.
At that time, Wang Jieshi met Xie Lisi who was singing here, and was instantly shocked.
put forward the idea of wanting to apply for the ** film orchestra, and when he applied for the exam, the examiner was Cheris.
The fate of the two continues.
Wang Jieshi likes Xie Lisi's singing voice from the bottom of her heart, and Xie Lisi thinks that Wang Jieshi is a rare singing talent.
"He's got a good voice!”
At Cheris's suggestion, the group arranged for them to form a male and female duet.
Unexpectedly, this pair of male and female vocal duets would become popular all over the country in the future.
It can be said that Xie Lisi is Wang Jieshi's nobleman.
Xie Lisi is 5 years older than Wang Jieshi and has much more experience than him.
He is also the "principal" singer of the film orchestra.
But her tacit understanding with the fledgling Wang Jieshi can be called a "match made in heaven".
When the two performed on stage together for the first time, they sang 3 songs, "Night in the Oil Field", "Why Are Flowers So Red" and other songs.
Unexpectedly, the two became popular because of this and became a very popular singing group.
Soprano singer Xie Lisi and tenor singer Wang Jieshi have since become the mark of an era.
After this performance, the two have identified their cooperative relationship with each other and have repeatedly climbed to new heights.
And Wang Jie is willing to be a green leaf and achieve each other.
By the '80s, both men wanted to make a breakthrough in art.
One day, Xie Lisi, who was recuperating at home, suddenly heard a Taiwanese campus song on the radio, and she was immediately attracted.
There is a song that directly prompted her determination to cover campus songs in the future.
This song is "Walking Barefoot on the Ridge".
The two joined hands and sang classic campus songs such as "Country Road", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Walking Barefoot on the Ridge", "Returning with the Sunset", "Morning on Campus" and so on.
Unexpectedly, these songs unexpectedly made the two popular and became singing stars of national attention.
In 1981, the two struck while the iron was hot and launched their first ** "When Will We Meet".
Tape sales were sold at a whopping 6The ** of 9 yuan sold 5 million boxes.
At that time, the per capita salary was only forty or fifty yuan, which shows how amazing the sales volume was that year.
Classic songs such as "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days", "Dragon Boat Tune", "Laughing is Better Than Crying", "Dragon Boat Tune" and other classic songs are sung on the streets and alleys.
They have also become the unique voice of the years of that era, which is reminiscent to this day.
The flawless cooperation between the two and their inseparable figures were once considered by the world to be a "fairy couple".
There were a lot of jokes at one point.
Once performing in other places, the two went back to live in a hotel and opened two rooms.
The staff said suspiciously: "The key has been given to Cheris, you are husband and wife, why do you open two rooms?" ”
Wang Jieshi quickly explained: "We are just partners, and we each have families. ”
Wang Jieshi's wife was Xiaohong, a childhood sweetheart, when Wang Jieshi was working as a repairman.
His wife is still his team leader, and Wang Jieshi can change his fate thanks to his wife's guidance and encouragement.
Regarding the various "intimate scandals" when cooperating with her partner Xie Lisi, although Wang Jieshi's wife is a little jealous, she is sensible.
Wang Jieshi said:"You think too, when others say that your husband and another woman are a pair of heaven and earth, she can't applaud and say yes, she will definitely be more or less jealous. But she knows who I am, so I'm reassured. ”
For Cheris, they are lifelong bosom friends.
In 1972, after graduating from university, Xie Lisi married Lang Wenyao, so she started a family very early.
Her husband, Lang Wenyao, is an actor, director and screenwriter of the Coal Mine Art Troupe, and she is very talented.
After marriage, the two have always been in love, and they also gave birth to their daughter Lang Le in the second year.
The husband is a very good man, and even to fully support Cheris's career.
was willing to retire to the family, raise her daughter, and later never give up on the sick Cheris.
However, Xie Lisi also suffered a life disaster because of overwork.
How hard did Cheris fight back then?
She often performs 5 times a day, and at the most, she sings nearly 100 songs a day.
Sometimes, at the end of the day, the whole person is exhausted and his voice is hoarse.
She has persevered in this kind of life for decades.
The long-term overload also caused Xie Lisi's body to suffer huge trauma and fell ill.
In 1997, while performing, Cheris suddenly felt her mouth getting crooked and crooked.
And he didn't listen to any of them, he was close to numbness, and soon he felt dizzy.
Feeling bad, Cheris hurried to the hospital for a check-up.
Unexpectedly, the result shocked and overwhelmed her.
The attending doctor at the time said:
Look at this**I don't know how big this person is, at least he has an eighty-year-old brain. ”
Then the next words completely broke Cheris.
"This is multiple lacunar cerebral infarctions. With this disease, forehead lines are reduced, eyes droop, mouth deviation, tongue deviation, this will appear.At worst, the disease can lead to the risk of paralysis and dementia.Brain damage cannot be changed by medications, and it is almost impossible to recover from the disease. ”
"When I look in the mirror, my mouth is crooked, and I'm completely disappointed, and I feel like it's over!" ”。
The sudden cerebral infarction made her brain function like that of an eighty-year-old at that time.
Immediately made her disheartened and completely desperate.
That year, she was 50 years old.
At this time, her husband Lang Wenyao became the most important person in her life.
Later, Cheris's condition became worse day by day.
The face is distorted, the speech is slurred, and even walking has become a problem.
So her husband Lang Wenyao tried his best to take her to ** every day and give her the best medicine.
The dedication of the daughter and husband even touched the doctor and **.
"Since I was hospitalized, my husband stayed with me every night, I said that the food in the hospital was not delicious, he gave me food in the morning, and my daughter was studying at ** college at the time, and she also visited me in the hospital every day. The doctors in the hospital are very envious of me for having a good husband and a good daughter. ”After a long period of positive **, although out of the most dangerous situation.
But no matter what, it still can't be completely recovered.
Shortly after the Spring Festival in 1998, Xie Lisi was discharged from the hospital and went home.
At this time, Cheris had become unrecognized, and when friends went to visit her, they couldn't believe that it was the singer Cheris.
On the day she returned home, she was so sick that she was bedridden and unable to speak.
However, Xie Lisi has been a legend in her life, and she is not willing to become like this in her bones.
What the doctor said to her at that time became her last hope.
"Cerebral infarction will slowly destroy mobility, and walking should be practiced more every day to stimulate the brain and control the progression of the disease. Otherwise, you may be paralyzed for life. ”So, the bedridden Cheris made a difficult ** plan for herself - "walk on time every day".
Cheris relied on perseverance to go from being bedridden to being able to walk slowly every day.
In 1999, a friend called her: "Beijing TV is holding the Spring Festival Gala, why don't you come out?" ”
This sentence pierced her heart deeply, and she was eager and helpless.
So she told her partner Wang Jieshi that she didn't want to sing anymore and asked him to find someone else to sing.
Wang Jieshi was very sad after hearing this, but she also encouraged her completely.
"It's too early for you to say we won't sing when you just got sick now, you should ** first.With Wang Jieshi's encouragement and advice, Xie Lisi not only insisted on practicing walking every day, but also strictly required herself to practice vocal practice for at least two hours a day.In addition, when you feel a little better, you can practice your voice at home, practice speaking or something, and I think you can recover.
Singing is not difficult for you, it's just that you have a burden on your own mind, and you don't think about it so seriously. ”
With such hard and persistent training, she persevered for 3 years.
One day in the fall of 2000, an invitation letter gave Cheris a chance to be born again.
There is a special program of "The Same Song", and I want to invite her and Wang Jieshi to sing a song "Young Friends Come to Meet".
But when Cheris received the invitation, she was happy and apprehensive, and kept asking whether to accept or not?
She hesitated for a long time, and finally said to herself in her heart:"Think of it as a test of yourself! ”
On that day's performance, Cheris miraculously sang a long-lost song, which made people have mixed feelings.
At the end of 2000, Cheris went to the hospital for a follow-up, and the doctor said in amazement
"You're standing up! What a miracle! ”
In 2007, Cheris was almost the same as ever, and she had been on this road for nearly 10 years.
But fate always seems to like to play jokes on her, and she defeated the disease, but her daughter finally left her.
In 2010, the greatest misfortune and sorrow in her life befell Cheris.
Her daughter, Xun Le, was diagnosed with lung cancer.
With her own personal experience, Cheris constantly encourages her daughter to be strong and optimistic and not to give up.
And he never left his daughter to actively ** and take care of him.
But this time, God did not favor his daughter Xunle.
After battling the disease for 4 years, her daughter finally died of illness.
The grief of losing her daughter caused Cheris, who had just recovered, to suffer another serious mental blow.
During that time, she suffered from depression and grief.
This year, she was 67 years old.
The pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man has made her unable to let go.
Under the cultivation of her father, her daughter Xun Le was a very good and sensible girl.
He was once admitted to the high school attached to *** college with the first place in the country.
Later, he was directly escorted to *** Academy, specializing in composition.
The talented, intelligent, kind and filial daughter should have a good life and an unlimited future.
However, providence makes people, and the ending is tragic.
After the death of her daughter, Cheris no longer had the intention of performing on stage, and completely faded.
The singing memories of a generation have since "disappeared into the world" in grief.
Now 73 years old, Xie Lisi lives an extremely dull life in her old age.
Her life is resolute, tenacious but gentle as water, full of legends but with a bumpy fate.
And her legendary singing, we hope that it can also ** its own pain and live a healthy and happy life for the rest of its life.
