Speaking of Liu Huan, he is a household name, he is a musician and a singer.
However, what many people don't know is that Liu Huan, who has been debuting for more than 30 years, has multiple identities, he is not only a musician, but also a highly respected teacher.
Because of his low-key personality, Liu Huan has always insisted on teaching things, and there are not many people who know, but now it is the online era, and there is no eternal "secret".
A netizen once expressed his admiration for Teacher Liu Huan on Weibo, and the words were all praise and respect for Liu Huan.
It is also because of the sharing of this netizen that many people know that Liu Huan, who was originally topped with a ring of stars, has been teaching in a low-key manner, and on the three-foot podium, he has been standing for a full 30 years.
It is easy to do one thing, but it is difficult to insist, and Liu Huan's persistence and dedication are extremely admirable.
In fact, among the celebrities in the show business circle, it is not uncommon for celebrities who have been teachers, such as He Jiong and Huang Lei, who have been teachers, but they have not been in class for a long time, and people like Liu Huan who have silently dedicated themselves on the podium for 30 years are even more rare.
Liu Huan's path of teaching began in 1991.
That year, Liu Huan became a teacher at the University of International Business and Economics, teaching the history of Western music. Although this course is only an elective, because the teacher is Liu Huan, many students will sign up every year.
At the most exaggerated time, because the number of applicants is too large, students can only be selected by computer screening. Even so, the number of people attending each class is more than 300 people, which shows how popular Liu Huan's class is.

In fact, students choose Liu Huan's class, in addition to admiring his professionalism and erudition, but also like his sense of humor, theory class is inevitably boring, but Liu Huan always has a way to make the class into an ocean of joy.
Liu Huan is not only humorous, but also very humble and low-key, when he introduces himself, he always puts his right hand on the left atrium and says in a gentle voice: "My name is Liu Huan." ”
There is no star aura, there is not much title, simple four words, but can make people feel his sincerity and goodwill.
In addition, he also had a note in the classroom, the original words were: "I hope there is no request for me to sing a song, standing here, I am the most ordinary teacher." ”
Standing on the stage, he is a singer who is all the attention, standing on the three-foot podium, he is just an ordinary teacher, with a pure heart, admirable.
He once said: Teachers are my job, singing is just "extracurricular activities".
Liu Huan is very principled, as long as he walks on the podium, he will only concentrate on the content of the textbook and things other than knowledge, and he will never say a word.
Some students said: "In fact, listening to Teacher Liu Huan's class, you don't feel that he is a famous singer at all, and there is no difference between him and ordinary teachers." ”
It is precisely because of the clear division that Liu Huan's class content will be high. He is very clear in his class, his thinking is logical, and he never talks about useless things, let alone brags about his achievements.
In his view, the achievement is only the recognition of others, not the capital to show off, and what he has to do is to pass on the knowledge in his belly to the students in the audience.
However, when the news of Liu Huan's 30 years of silent teaching was exposed, some people could not help but ask: "Liu Huan is a singer, how can he teach "History of Western Music"?" ”
In fact, this is related to his university major, although he has been engaged in music all his life, But Liu Huan studied French in college, he is not only familiar with French music, but also very familiar with the history of classical music in Europe, and even the most difficult european classical opera he can easily control.
Because he is professional enough, Liu Huan does not use a computer or slides when he goes to class, but only writes the course chapters, key names and place names on the blackboard, and the content is all oral.
It seems simple, but his lessons are quite rich, simply "walking music encyclopedia".
And Liu Huan in class, has his own set of methods, in order to avoid boring courses, he will generally divide the big era first, bring the students into the background of that era, and then carefully explain the musical styles and representatives of each era, and occasionally intersperse some musician anecdotes.
Once, when he said that a French composer was also very beautiful in singing a play, he suddenly appeared with a sentence of "French good voice!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of laughter from the students came from the audience, and some people once counted that in just one and a half hours, there were at least 20 times of laughter.
The course content is clear and clear, coupled with humorous and funny stories, after a class, students will not only not feel tired, but also feel unfinished.
Therefore, Teacher Liu Huan's class has not only been recognized by the students, but also impressed some singers, and Jike Junyi once ran to rub Liu Huan's music class.

Liu Huan not only works hard in class, but also cares for his classmates, he insists on wiping the blackboard himself, and every time he takes the exam, he will personally send the test paper to the hands of his classmates, and will also cheer them up.
Liu Huan, who is humble and responsible, has been praised by his classmates: "Even if Teacher Liu Huan is measured by the standards of university lecturers, he is super qualified." ”
Someone once asked Liu Huan curiously: "Now that you have achieved fame, why do you insist on being a teacher?" ”
Liu Huan replied, "I like to be with young people, so that you are also young." College students go a batch, another batch will come, are so big, so I feel that I have not changed! ”
In the final analysis, Liu Huan is a very virtuous person, he does not think of himself as a celebrity, even if he is full of honor, he has never forgotten the social responsibility on his body.
He knows that teaching and educating people is a matter for the benefit of future generations, as long as he can contribute, why not enjoy it?
In a materialistic society, it is always easy for people to forget the original intention, and even forget why they started, but some people are exceptions, they can adhere to the original intention for decades, and use the years of their lives to do their favorite things.
Liu Huan is like this, he has stood on the podium for 30 years, and similarly, although he has reached the age of knowing his destiny as a singer, his love for music has never diminished in the slightest.
Liu Huan first became acquainted with music in his senior year.
That year, Liu Huan won the French Song Contest and the first College English Song Contest, which gave him enough confidence, and he secretly swore in his heart: "For the rest of my life, I will only accompany music." ”
However, Liu Huan is not a person with a strong sense of utilitarianism.
After graduating from university in 1986, he did not rush to break in, nor did he rush to become famous, but took the initiative to go to Shizuishan in Ningxia as a volunteer teacher for a year.
It was far away from the city, there was no bustling crowd and traffic interference, he concentrated on teaching music in the mountains, and this year's mountain life also gave him a clear goal in life, that is, to be a "pure musician".
When he was teaching, Liu Huan got the opportunity to go to CCTV to record the "TV World" party, and sang the French song "May We Meet Again" with deep feeling.
After this night, Liu Huan was on fire.
With the increase of fame, the invitations of major commercial performances flew like snowflakes, and in the face of sudden fame and fortune, Liu Huan did not confuse his steps, let alone change his obsession and fanaticism with music.
Although he has been famous for many years, he has not enjoyed the achievements of the past, but has been constantly improving himself, constantly learning and absorbing other new things.
Whether it is electronic music, jazz, opera, Chinese style and other elements, he does not refuse to come, just to make Chinese music more abundant.
Although the record industry is declining day by day, original music is not valued, but Liu Huan did not give up, he participated in programs such as "The Voice of China", issued a cry to the public to "save the original music", and worked hard to tap Yuan Yawei, JiKe Junyi and other powerful young singers to add fresh blood to the Chinese music scene.
He knows better than anyone that if music is not original, it is doomed to a dead end, and only by letting more talented young people speak with their true skills and create opportunities for them will they have a way out, and music will be passed on from generation to generation.
Liu Huan's sincere heart is exactly what the current impetuous society needs, just like he said to his classmates in class:
"The place of music and all art in human civilization is the same, that is, a constant inquiry and exploration of beauty. This is the reason why a living civilization can continue to have vitality again and again, because people need this beauty in their hearts. ”
Music is beautiful, and Liu Huan is also a very pure person.
Being a singer is only because of my incomparable love for music; being a teacher, I just want to make a modest contribution to the cause of music education; as a mentor, I just want to tap more excellent musical talents.
Many years ago, when music critic Dai Fang mentioned Liu Huan, he once said something like this:
Liu Huan is the singer with the most peculiar fame and the longest fame; His music has never been fashionable, but it has never been outdated; He has always been far away from the lively life of the music world, but he has always been respected by the public and the music world; He has always had no desires and no demands, but he has many opportunities that are difficult for others to get; He has always been proud of his school and teachers, but his songs have gained the most popular recognition in China; He sang a lot of popular songs, but he was careless about making records.
As Dai Fang said, in the disturbing music scene, some people come and go in a hurry, like a gust of wind and smoke, and will not leave too many traces.
But Liu Huan is different, he deserves the four words of "virtue and art double Xin", he also let us see that in this world, there is another word called "persistence".
Light up [in the watch], this teacher deserves our praise, I hope we can all be like him, to be a person who is consistent in appearance and does not change his original intention. Text/Morning And Night
