In 1927, Li Shirong was born in an ordinary citizen family in Changchun, he was born with a good voice, what a good song can be sung after humming a few times, and then he often performed in various activities organized by the school, and soon became the focus of people's attention.
One day in July 1949, Li Shirong was rehearsing, the actor Shi Lianxing of the Northeast Film Studio (played by Zhao Yiman) found him, the first meeting, Li Shirong's tall man, clearly defined face, a humming resonance made Shi Lianxing feel that this was a good actor embryo, Shi Lianxing suggested that he apply for the East Film, Li Shirong gladly agreed, on the day of the exam, Li Shirong sang a fragment of the opera "White Haired Girl", the examiners unanimously believed that this was their ideal tenor, and immediately decided to admit it. He was asked to report to the factory within 3 days.
Later, the former Soviet vocal expert Maria conducted strict Italian scientific vocal training for Li Shirong, at the same time, Li Shirong also humbly asked the folk artist Li Qingshan for advice, in the continuous exploration and sublimation, Li Shirong's singing skills were expanded, forming a singing style that integrates science and nationalization.
In 1949, Dongying filmed the first feature film of New China, "Bridge", with Li Shirong as the lead singer of the choral song, and then he served as the lead singer of the chorus in "Sons and Daughters of China" and "Zhao Yiman".
In 1955, he became famous with "Butterfly Springs", and the songs were also sung by people.
In 1969, due to a sudden gastric perforation, Li Shirong had to undergo surgery to cut out three-fifths of his stomach. Less than 20 days after the operation, Li Shirong's family was sent to the countryside, under extremely difficult living conditions, Li Shirong still insisted on getting up early to practice his voice, after which he put his energy on music teaching, focusing on cultivating new people who love singing art for the motherland, and his artistic life was rejuvenated again.

On March 19, 2005, the singer, who wrote a lot of color in the history of Chinese cinema for a hundred years, passed away at the age of 78.
Most of the subtitles on the music of the old movies we see now were added later, and Li Shirong, like the backing singers of that generation, their names almost did not appear on the screen, they were all the "unsung heroes" of Chinese film music, and they were the older generation who made outstanding contributions to the film singing industry.
