Li Guyi's daughter is xiao yi, and her husband is a leader of the army system. Li Guyi, who became famous very early, has a strong sense of enterprise, and in her mind, career is above everything, so she has a rough branch in family life. Even to name her daughter, she could not be simpler, taking a word in her husband's and her own name, and letting her daughter be called "Xiao Yi".
In 1980, when Xiao Yi was 3 years old, Li Guyi was transferred to the Central Orchestra as a soloist, as a pillar in the troupe, Li Guyi spent seven or eight months performing outside for seven or eight months a year, even at home, Xiao Yi rarely saw his mother's figure. Because her husband is also very busy at work, Li Gu sends his daughter to a colleague's house when he goes to work during the day. The colleague's family lived on the first floor, there was a window facing the door of Li Gu's unit, Xiao Yi often lay alone on the window, staring at the door of his mother's unit without blinking, hoping that his mother's figure would appear sooner. However, it was often until nightfall that Li Guyi hurriedly arrived and took his daughter home on a bicycle.
At that time, Li Guyi was trying to combine Western music with Chinese national singing to create a new style of singing. She had to work more than ten hours a day and had no time to take care of her daughter, and in this situation, Li Guyi sent her daughter to a relative's house in Xuchang, Henan Province. It wasn't until a year later that Li Guyi took the time to see her daughter, xiao Yi, who appeared in her eyes, was dark and thin, and Li Guyi's heartache as a mother was painful, and she took her daughter back to Beijing.
At the age of 5, Xiao yi went to kindergarten. One day, mischievous, she accidentally fell off the iron fence, causing a fracture of her left arm, when Li Guyi was performing outside, Xiao Yi's father and grandmother rushed to take her to the hospital to pick up the bones. But the careless doctor mistook Xiao Yi's bones and didn't find out until after the plaster cast was applied, so he had to knock on the plaster and reattach it. Shaw was in pain, how she wished her mother could show up beside her and touch her face and hair with warm hands! It wasn't until half a month later that Li Guyi took the time to go to the hospital to see his daughter for the first time. At the first sight of his mother, Xiao Yi said a sentence that made Li Guyi feel sad: "Mother, you don't care about me at all, is it that I am not your own child?" Li Gu burst into tears: "Child, you are your mother's baby, your mother is too busy, and when you grow up, you will understand your mother." ”
How could Xiao Yi, who was a young man, understand his mother? She couldn't understand why her mother was always so busy. She often sat lonely in front of the window, watching other parents hold their children's hands and happily play in the yard. On Xiao Yi's 8th birthday, she said pitifully to her mother: "Mom, will you take me outside to play today?" Looking at the flowing desire in his daughter's eyes, Li Guyi pushed off his job and took his daughter to Xidan Mall to play. In the mall, the salesman recognized Li Guyi, and suddenly thirty or forty people suddenly gathered around her, scrambling to shake her hand, talk, and take a notebook and clothes to ask her to sign. Xiao Yi was squeezed aside by the crowd, and could only look at his mother from a distance through the human seam, until the crowd dispersed, and her mother took her home. Along the way, tears swirled in Xiao Yi's eyes, and Li Guyi's heart was also very unhappy. This was the only time Xiao Yi went out with his mother. Since then, Shaw has never gone out with his mother, which is not a cruelty and regret for a little girl.
In 1986, Li Guyi's China Light Music Troupe, which had been preparing for several years, was finally formed. As the leader of the troupe, the work is complicated, the actors in front of the stage, the band and all the behind-the-scenes work must be taken care of by her, because there is no venue, Li Guyi's home has become an office space, and the meetings, studies and rehearsals in the group are all in the 14-square-meter hut of her home... This has been going on for more than a decade. Li Guyi can be said to have worked hard for China's light music industry. At that time, the peace of Life of Li Gu's family was completely broken, the home became an examination room, young actors from all over the country came to find her, as soon as they entered the door and could not say two sentences, they began to sing, hoping to enter the light music troupe, during this period, Li Guyi found and cultivated many red singers, including Cui Jian and Wei Wei.
By putting all his energy into the regiment, Li Guyi almost ignored the existence of his daughter. She did not give her daughter a parent-teacher conference, and she did not have time to take care of her daughter's studies. However, she has devoted endless efforts to the actors and students. She often goes out of her way to tutor students until late at night. When the students were sick, she also had to help them find a doctor and boil medicine and soup for them. This scene made Xiao Yi often can't help but have a sour nose, and once, she asked her mother loudly, "Why am I your daughter?" Why am I not a child of ordinary people? Li Guyi didn't know how to explain it to his daughter, and only felt a sharp pain in his heart.
In Xiao Yi's mind, her mother was so strange, so she also called Li Guyi "Teacher Li" like her mother's students, which was called for more than 20 years.
Xiao Yi is also born with a good voice, but she is resistant to singing, because she sees that her mother's life has nothing but music. And Li Guyi did not have time to take care of his daughter, so the famous singer did not cultivate his daughter despite the peach and plum all over the world.
Because she is Li Guyi's daughter, Xiao Yi's childhood life is destined to be lonely, and even a little bitter. The New Year that the children are most looking forward to is also an indescribable sadness and annoyance for Xiao Yi. Because her mother has to participate in the Spring Festival Gala every year, Chinese New Year's Eve night, the moon in her family has never been round, Xiao Yi and her father can only see their mother on TV bringing laughter and singing to others, and leaving the cold to them, especially when she sees her mother singing "Unforgettable Tonight", she can't help but cry...
Li Guyi, who grew up in an intellectual family in Changsha, showed confidence and scenery in front of the audience, while her other side was full of ups and downs. In the early 1970s, Li Guyi was beaten into a revisionist black seedling because of her performance of the flower drum play "Patching the Pot", and was sent to the remote Yaozhai to work, and the bitterness and hardships of life made her have a thorough experience.
In 1980, Li Guyi combined the Western vocal method with the Chinese national singing method to launch "Nostalgia", and did not expect that this song would immediately become popular all over the country as soon as it came out. What Li Gu did not expect was that it was this little song that made her suffer from criticism and criticism from all over the country like a storm, she just explored a different path, why did she become the target of deviant people in the music world? For half a month, she had insomnia every night and suffered from severe neurasthenia... At that time, Xiao Yi was only 3 years old, unable to understand how hard this disaster hit her mother, and when she grew up, she learned from her father that the mental torture and psychological trauma suffered by her mother could not be described in words, and she could not imagine how her mother survived those difficult years...
In 1983, CCTV held the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and at the request of the national audience, Li Gu sang 6 songs in a row, including "Nostalgia", which has become a record that no one has broken so far. "Nostalgia" can be on the elegant hall of the Spring Festival Gala, indicating that the song style created by Li Guyi has been recognized by people. That night, when Li Gu returned home in the middle of the night, she gently shook her sleeping daughter and ate dumplings with her husband, and she drank a glass of red wine. In Xiao Yi's memory, it was the first time she saw her mother smile so relieved, so sweet...
Since then, Li Guyi's singing career has reached a peak period. From the mid-to-late 1980s to the early 1990s, Li Guyi held solo concerts in France and the Netherlands, which was extremely successful, and was the first person Chinese mainland to hold concerts in these countries; she was invited to serve as a judge for singer competitions in Japan, Germany, Yugoslavia, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong and other countries and regions, and won the gold medal of the "World Artist Achievement Award" issued by the American Abi Association, and the "Lifetime Achievement Award" of the CCTV method. She participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for 13 consecutive years, composing and singing more than 300 songs... Under her leadership, the China Light Music Troupe is also in the sky, and Li Guyi led the actors to perform more than 1,000 performances across the country, and has been commended by the Ministry of Culture many times.
Once, Xiao Yi's father suddenly fell ill while traveling in Yunnan, with a high fever of more than 40 degrees and unconsciousness. Li Guyi, who is in Beijing, is ostracized because of her integrity, and people often call her anonymously to intimidate her. In Xiao Yi's impression, her mother has always been a strong woman, but this time, she found that her mother's strong appearance was also wrapped in a fragile heart. My mother was so anxious and dull, she had insomnia all night, and there were two pieces of hair on her head that had fallen out of nowhere. Almost overnight, my mother, who had been energetic, suddenly grew much older.
Only then did Xiao Yi truly understand her mother, and also understand why her mother was so fanatical and obsessed with art, her mother was born for singing, and music had dissolved into her blood! November 10 is Li Guyi's birthday, and on this day, Li Guyi's husband rushed back from Yunnan with his unhealed body, and Xiao Yi bought a birthday cake and flowers for his mother.
In Li Guyi's most painful and helpless days, Xiao Yi often accompanied his mother, she talked with her mother, the mother and daughter talked about some happy things before, and some intimate words that they wanted to say but did not say before were also said. On a sunny day, Xiao Yi also accompanied his mother to the suburbs to relax and see the beautiful scenery of nature. Looking at this tall and beautiful big girl in front of him, Li Guyi suddenly felt like a dream. She took her daughter in her arms: "Child, my mother used to be busy with her career and rarely cared about you, do you blame your mother?" Xiao Yi said with tears in his eyes: "I used to blame you before, but now that I have grown up and understood things, I can understand you." ”
Li Gu left her hometown in her teens, she can have today, completely rely on her own step by step, and her husband also grew up in a military family, so the couple is particularly strict with their children. When Xiao Yi was a child, the family never considered her taste when cooking, even if it was a dish that Xiao Yi did not like to eat, Li Guyi would not accommodate her. Sometimes Xiao Yi didn't like to eat, and Li Guyi said, "When you're hungry, see if you eat or not?" She snapped the leftover meal up with a bowl to keep warm, and after a few hours, Xiao Yi was hungry, and she swept away the rest of the meal like a cloud. Therefore, Xiao has not been a picky eater until now, and he has not paid much attention to eating.
Li Guyi is very strict with his daughter in terms of life. She never gave her daughter much pocket money, and her daughter squeezed the bus home from school. Xiao Yi's clothes and shoes did not have any brand name, and they were even more ordinary than those of ordinary children. After Xiao Yi went to high school, Li Guyi let her move out and live alone, and every day Xiao Yi came back at dinner, and then went back to write homework and sleep after eating.
Despite her own success, Li Guyi did not have particularly high expectations for her daughter, and she said a very classic sentence: "All do celebrities, who will be ordinary people?" Therefore, her requirements for her daughter are that as long as she is healthy and builds a family through labor and wisdom, there is no need to get ahead.
A friend once said to Xiao Yi, "If you go to sing, you can become red, and with your mother, everything will be easy to handle." Xiao Yi also jokingly said to Li Guyi: "Mom, I cover all your famous songs, how about an album?" Xiao Yi's father was the first to disagree. Li Guyi also firmly opposed: "What are you doing?" What about an album? ”
Li Guyi is not only an excellent artist, but also a good daughter-in-law who is filial piety. It is said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with, but Li Guyi is particularly close to the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along like a biological mother and daughter. The mother-in-law had Hemel's syndrome in her later years, and every time Li Guyi returned from a performance in the field, he had to bring some small gifts to his mother-in-law, and personally washed the face and body of the elderly, stayed by her side to cut fruit for her, and talked with her. The mother-in-law was sick to the late stage, mentally confused, and out of speech, but until the end of her life, she still shouted Li Guyi's name: "Gu Yi, eat!" Gu Yi, eat! ”
There are often media outlets to interview Li Guyi and her daughter. Every time Li Guyi politely declined, she did not want her daughter to develop a superior psychology prematurely, she often said to her daughter: "Mom is just an actor, because she often appears, so she has a popularity, you don't have any privileged thoughts, feel that you are different from ordinary children." "Long-term edification has made Xiao Yi a very low-key person. After graduating from college in 2000, Xiao Yi entered the CCTV work, and Li Guyi had frequent contact with many people on CCTV because of his work relationship, but Li Guyi did not greet anyone and asked them to take care of his daughter. Xiao Yi also never mentioned his mother to anyone in the unit. A year later, until Xiao Yi left CCTV, few people knew that she was Li Guyi's daughter.
The bumpy and rough life has created Li Guyi's tolerant and generous character. In the Spring Festival of 2001, at a cultural party, Li Guyi and her former student Wei Wei were invited to attend. All along, Wei Wei felt sorry for the teacher, and wanted to express his deep apologies to Li Guyi and shake hands with her, but there had been no contact for a long time, and she didn't know if Li Guyi would forgive herself. Therefore, Wei Wei first asked Gao Zhanxiang, vice minister of culture at the same table, to inquire into Li Guyi's falsehood: "Later, Wei Wei wants to come and pay you a New Year's greeting, can you?" After receiving a positive reply, Wei Wei walked over to Li Guyi and respectfully asked her to sign her signature on her invitation. Li Guyi happily wrote down the three words "and for you". Wei Wei said to Li Guyi, "I wish Teacher What He wants to do, Wishing you prosperity." Love your Wei Wei. Li Guyi raised his face and asked, "Really?" Wei Wei smiled and pressed the root of Li Guyi's ear and said, "This is true, it is not false at all, I will become more and more sensible." ”
In 2004, Li Guyi had gallbladder removal surgery, and she laughed and called herself a "fearless hero." Xiao Yi was worried about her mother's body, she knew that her mother still had severe diabetes, and she painfully advised her mother: "Mom, you have everything now, don't be so busy anymore." Li Guyi listened to her daughter's advice, she pushed off many performances, and began to enjoy the leisure and joy of life.
On March 20, 2007, at the 5th Pepsi Music Awards Gala, Li Guyi was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award", and Xiao Yi was sincerely proud and proud of his mother! Li Guyi's dedication to her career and sincerity in dealing with the world have a great influence on Xiao Yi, and she is also as frank, low-key and helpful as her mother. In her eyes, her mother is a heavy book, worth reading and learning with her heart for a lifetime!
In January 2020, Li Guyi appeared on CCTV for the 18th time in the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rat, and sang "Unforgettable Tonight" for the 8th year, which attracted everyone's attention. Although her career is brilliant, Li Guyi also has regrets, that is, she did not accompany her daughter to grow up like an ordinary mother, and gave Xiao Yi the care and maternal love she deserved. If you spend as much effort on your daughter as a student, maybe your daughter is also a famous singer, which is where Li Gu is ashamed of her daughter. Fortunately, Xiao Yi understood his mother, which made Li Guyi feel some relief in regret.
