Among the national TV variety shows, Hunan Satellite TV's live broadcast of "Happy Base Camp" can be said to be the best, the audience is happy to hear, and the ratings are very high. This is not only because it once won the "Golden Eagle Award", the highest award of Chinese television, but also because its "happy wind" has affected the whole country, so that more than 70 provincial and municipal television stations have followed suit, and even CCTV has to feel a strong pressure.
Li Xiang, the gold medal host of the most popular TV variety show in the country, entered thousands of households through "Happy Base Camp". As a public figure, she is already a household name. However, as a daughter and sister, the story of the family relationship between "Fast Mouth" Li Xiang and his father, mother and sister is little known.
My parents wanted me to be a "dragon"
I was born in a cadre family, my ancestral home is Yueyang, Hunan, belonging to Xianglong, and my parents hope that I can become a "dragon" when I grow up. There are four people in my family: Dad, Mom, me and my sister. My father was a native of Yueyang and the president of the Hunan Provincial High People's Court; my mother was a native of Beijing who worked at the Hunan Automobile Trading Company; and my family had a younger sister, named Li Ling, who was born at the end of December 1976 and worked at the Hunan branch of the Bank of China.
In order to make me a "dragon", I was strictly disciplined by my mother from a young age. In 1977, when I was just over a year old, I was sent by my mother to my father's old hometown for "further study" and raised by my aunt. It wasn't until three years later, in the summer, when I was in kindergarten, that my parents went to Linxiang to pick me up and take me back to Changsha.
In our family, Dad had the highest social status and was the president of the court. He was very serious on the outside, but when he got home, he was always a kind father. Our dad spoiled me, and my mom spoiled my sister. Dad loved to take me out to socialize, showing off to friends that I was his daughter, and I was willing to go out with dad because I was the "prosecutor" that my mom sent to my dad. When I saw my father drinking, I immediately stopped saying that I couldn't drink, which was a task given to me by my mother. Dad couldn't do anything about it. In our family, three women and a man, the ratio of men to women is very different, dad is isolated, doomed to dad's lowest status. Mom is not very good at cooking, and when she sees dishes she doesn't know on the vegetable market, she will definitely not buy them and make them at home. My mother's most common dish was to roast eggplant, so I developed a habit of eating eggplant.
I spent my middle school years in Changsha No. 1 Middle School, with good academic performance and a love of challenges. Although it is my father who loves me the most, it is my mother who affects my learning and talent development. My mother loved to listen to folk songs and wanted me to become a singer when I grew up, so I was sent by my mother to learn to sing folk songs, play the piano, play the violin, dance, and act in dramas from a young age. My mother also led me to the Wuhan Conservatory of Music and asked the teachers there to identify my qualifications. Because I was educated and trained since I was a child, I have a soft spot for being a host. In the summer of 1994, when I graduated from high school and was sent to the Department of Foreign Languages of Tianjin University, at this time, the Beijing Radio and Television Institute went to Changsha to enroll, and I immediately told my parents about the good news and asked them to help them get ideas to see if they could give up the guarantee and go to the Beijing Radio and Television Institute instead.
My mom supported my choice, but my loving dad was strenuously opposed. They argued for half a month, and finally Dad figured it out and said, "Just take the test, I believe in my daughter!" "So, as the only student in the school who gave up the guarantee, I walked into the examination room. Although my study was very good, my parents were still very nervous on the days of the exam, and my mother was extremely worried, specially asking for leave to cook at home; my father took a drink to the outside of school every day, afraid that I would not be in a good mood for the exam, and the drink would wait for me to take the initiative to ask for it, and he would catch up with the courier. In the end, I lived up to the painstaking efforts of my parents, successfully passed the exam, and was also the first professional score in Hunan Examination District.
When my mother sent me to Beijing to study at university, she went downstairs to buy something under the pretext of leaving only a letter of farewell and instructions and flew home alone. Of course, I understand the good intentions of my parents, they are cultivating my ability to live independently.
In the dormitory, the quilt is not folded, but the clothes can not be saved up on a pile and then packed and sent to the mother to wash, right? I learned to wash myself, but I couldn't do it, and I couldn't wash it clean. Finally, I secretly observed others, and then called my mother to consult, and then I slowly found the tricks and feelings of washing clothes. The first time I ate the canteen was more troublesome, the master asked me to eat a few or two rice, I was actually embarrassed, because I never had the concept of two or two, and finally under the guidance of my classmates, I understood that my combat effectiveness was two or two rice.
After studying in Beijing for two years, although my mother's hometown was in Beijing, she never came to the college to see me once. However, my mother wrote me dozens of affectionate letters. Dad often traveled to Beijing on business, and he only saw me once at the college. After half a year, I slowly adapted to living independently and learned to take care of myself. The first time I came home from vacation, Mom and Dad saw that I had lost a lot of weight, and they both turned around and secretly wiped my wet eyes. However, seeing that I was talking and behaving more decently, they were very happy in their hearts and felt that it was worth it to be "cruel" like that.
I think my mother is different from most mothers, her love for her daughter is not expressed in intimacy and pampering, but a restrained love, strictly containing special love.
Love accompanies me into the "happy world"
When I graduated from college in 1996, I didn't struggle to stay in Beijing like other students. I discussed with my parents and chose Hunan TV station in my hometown. At that time, I really wanted to stay in Beijing, because Beijing is the capital that everyone yearns for, there are many opportunities for development, and at the same time, my grandfather, grandmother, and aunt are all in Beijing, and they also want me to live with them.
When I first arrived at Hunan Television Station, I hosted the program "Lights Out", mainly to spread the news of the literary and art circles, such as playing chart songs. Soon, Hunan Television Station went on the satellite, all programs were revised, and the personnel were completely reorganized. "Happy Base Camp" selected the host, and I participated in the large-scale audition. For a long time, I didn't know the result, until one day I was suddenly notified to audition for the first episode of the show, and I jumped three feet high happily. The first time I walked into "Happy Base Camp", I won the recognition of the audience with my youthful and lively, naughty and natural, hot and bold hosting style. "Camp Commander" Wang Bingwen praised me as the trademark image of "Happy Base Camp, with outstanding performance and each partner to achieve near-perfect cooperation." "After doing this phase, I became more and more mature, a year passed, the male host changed hands five times, but I did not lack a shortage of successful hosting more than 50 programs, and my name also went into thousands of households with "Happy Base Camp".
I think the first viewers to care about me would be Mom and Dad, who sat in front of the TV on time from the first episode. In the days when "Happy Base Camp" was launched, my parents had to mobilize colleagues and neighbors and acquaintances to watch it every time, and even once my father had a meeting at the unit, he still remembered to go home and take time off to watch my program. "Happy base camp, good mood every day." The opening line of "Happy Base Camp" has become a household name.
My success has not been easy. Once in a live broadcast, I accidentally reported the wrong program program, the director told me that it was okay, and the male host also comforted me that it was okay, continue to play! I calmly adjusted the host in time on the field and completed all the shows behind. But as soon as I came down from the studio and returned to the studio, I cried on my stomach and regretted my mistake. Finally, my mother's words gave me confidence: "Live broadcasting can stimulate your creativity and inner potential, and only hosting a challenging program can you master the personality of the program." 」 I believe that Happy Base Camp is yours. "Since then, the one who can laugh, be happy and healthy, appeared in front of the audience. "Happy Base Camp" belongs to me, and it belongs to my admirable mother.
Despite my impressive achievements, my parents never went to the live broadcast of "Happy Base Camp" to watch me host the show. It turned out that they were afraid that I would be distracted, which would affect the normal play of the hosting talent. But as long as it was a show I hosted, they didn't miss watching TV in a single episode. Watch live, replay and watch, and make some good comments. Dad's opinion is mostly praise, and mom's opinion is mostly criticism. This side was criticized and that side came to comfort, and my parents revealed their daughter's affection, and I felt extremely happy.
Little known sisterhood
In Changsha, Hunan Province, there are many rumors that there is a girl in the Hunan branch of the Bank of China, who looks very similar to me, but she is slightly taller and more mature. In fact, that is my sister Li Ling. Speaking of my sister, I feel a little wronged, because she is taller than me, appears mature, and others always make me and my sister the wrong size. Friends often come to me at home, and when they see Li Ling, they ask, "What about your sister?" At this time, I would hurry to open the door and go out, and say to the guests, "I am her sister!" ”
These grievances aside, just to say that when I was a child, many of them were inadvertently taken out by Li Ling. When I was a child, Li Ling cried her nose as soon as she heard that she was going to the hospital for vaccinations, so I pretended to be a hero and a model, and promised my father: "I don't cry, I want to be a brave child, and set a good example for my sister!" So, along the way, this is the situation: Li Ling is crying and crying, I am "schadenfreude", and I am very happy to express it in song. But as soon as I arrived at the hospital and saw the long needle, the situation changed: I hid behind with all my strength, always trying to squeeze my sister Li Ling in front, in order to suffer the pain later; and Li Ling was very quiet at this time, as if it didn't hurt at all. At the end, I was still crying: "Daddy, I'm so afraid of pain!" ”
The relationship between our sisters has been good since childhood. There are some things that I often entrust my sister to do, and if there is anything on my mind, I am the first to tell my sister. If my sister is unhappy, she will also take the initiative to tell me. In the eyes of Mom and Dad, we are children, because they see problems from different angles than we do, and sisters are naturally easy to communicate with each other. But according to my personality, I usually endure things that are not happy, and I don't want my sister to worry.
I like to swim, I like sports, and more sports, especially swimming, is the most helpful for girls to control their body shape. I made a comprehensive attack in film and television songs, plus the "Happy Base Camp" program group did not rest on weekends, and the work was particularly busy, so it was always my sister Li Ling who accompanied my parents on weekends. The rest of the time I have a little more. However, due to the busy work, my sister and I rarely stayed at home at the same time, sometimes not seeing each other for months. Even though we both lived at home, I didn't come home until about midnight every day after the show, and my sister was already asleep, and I hadn't gotten up the next morning when my sister went to work. Therefore, my sister had something to look for me, and I had to contact me by phone. So whenever I have time, I will obediently stay at home with my parents, listen to music, read books and newspapers, and watch TV.
Filial piety to the daughter's affectionate returns
Those who know me well know that in addition to my cheerful personality, I am also particularly filial. The Aunt Yueyang who once raised me, I still don't forget her kindness. When I was in college, I often saved some pocket money to buy small gifts for my aunt and take time to knit sweaters to keep her warm. After joining the work, I often send money to her. Whenever there is a chance, I always have to take my aunt's family to the city to visit the mall and buy them some living or school supplies.
I remember that when I was seven years old, I followed the Municipal Youth Repertory Theatre to Yueyang to perform, because it took 5 days to come back, my father specially gave me 10 yuan of pocket money, but I was reluctant to spend it. At noon that day, I was so thirsty that I took out 3 cents to buy a sugar popsicle, and I couldn't afford to spend it anymore. Until the end of the performance, when the repertory theater was ready to return to Changsha, I still had 9 yuan, 9 dimes and 7 cents in my pocket. I thought about it, so I bought my father a bottle of Yueyang specialty turtle and snake wine and a comb for my mother. I counted the rest of the money and bought my sister a pen she wanted.
After getting off the bus in Changsha, I went back to my home with great interest and distributed the gifts to the whole family. When I gave my father the turtle and snake wine, I saw the tears of excitement in his eyes. My daughter's little filial piety actually made my father so moved, which I did not expect. However, there was a sentence buried in my young soul: "When I grow up, I must make a lot of money, buy a lot of turtle and snake wine for my father, and buy a lot of delicious things for my mother and sister." ”
After participating in the work, I learned more about the difficulty of parents raising their children, and always used their filial piety to repay their love. Every time I traveled, I brought back some small gifts with local characteristics to my parents and sister. Seeing my daughter so sensible, my father always couldn't help but praise me. Once, I bought a watch for my dad from Hong Kong, and the next day my dad's colleague told me, "Dean Li put on the watch you gave him!" "Another time, I went to Beijing to shoot an advertisement, and when I came back, I bought a T-shirt for my father, and the people in the yard said two days later, 'Your father wore the T-shirt you bought for him yesterday.' ”
At first, I thought strangely: How can I give my father a filial gift like a news courier, and within a few hours someone will get the information without error? Soon, I found out that it was my father who took the initiative to reveal it to others. Dad took this as a sign of his filial piety from his daughter! How could he hold back his joy, how could he not share it with others?
In my song album, in addition to the title song "Summer", my favorite is "Cleaning". Once, I was a guest on a program at Shanghai Oriental Television, and the host was Cao Kefan, who gave me a surprise attack and invited my mother to the scene, and my mother did not inform me in advance. I talked to my mother for a while, and the host invited my friend to the scene, and I had no idea that it was a classmate from elementary school. I was very excited, tears flowing down my face, and I cried very ugly. Yes, the most touching thing in the world is family and friendship, and I sang the song "Cleaning", which is about the sincere friendship between classmates. Every time I sing this song in the future, I think of the excitement at the time.
