When it comes to ballet, many people's first impression may be that of a Western girl wearing a pure white gauze dress, but in the 60s, there was a dance drama work that broke the ground by combining the techniques of Western ballet with Chinese folk dance, giving birth to a century of national ballet "Red Detachment of Women". At 7:30 tonight, the warm roundup "See You Again", created by the team of Liu Xin of Hunan Satellite TV and titled by Kyoto Nian Ci Ling, ushered in the final episode of this season, and "Time Commissioner" Liang Tian will approach the "tiptoe world" of dancer Xue Jinghua, the main actor of "Red Detachment of Women", with the audience, to feel her love and faith in dance art.
Starred in China's first national ballet
Kicking the purple gold crown backwards to amaze the whole country has become a classic
In 1964, the "Red Detachment of Women" premiered, as China's first revolutionary ballet in the form of Western ballet to tell the story of Qionghua, a peasant girl on Hainan Island who was tortured, because she could not bear the oppression of the landlords, braved the wind and rain to escape from the earthen prison, and grew into a communist fighter after trials and tribulations. This "Red Detachment of Women" has been performed for a long time since it appeared on the stage. In 1971, "The Red Detachment of Women" began to prepare for a film version, and the 25-year-old Xue Jinghua was selected to play the heroine of the film after successfully portraying "Wu Qionghua" on the stage. She read through the script and added a new "kicking purple and golden crown" to the film performance, which became a classic stage moment in the history of Chinese ballet. With the wide spread of ballet films, Xue Jinghua became a well-known "ballet star" at that time with her rounded face and professional and exquisite dance posture. Half a century later, how is this cool girl who once performed the art of dance to the extreme on stage?
At the age of 76, he insisted on ballet and dance education
Remember the cultivation of the country with gratitude
"Time Commissioner" Liang Tian came to Shenzhen to meet Xue Jinghua again, and at the age of 76, she still insisted on doing her best in the dance classroom and guiding the students hand in hand. Since "hanging up her boots" in 1991, Xue Jinghua has devoted herself to the cause of ballet education, and she has never stopped retiring, traveling back and forth between Hong Kong and Shenzhen for decades, passing on what she has learned throughout her life to children without reservation. She said her dream is for her students to become excellent dancers and join the National Ballet of China. From the front of the stage to the backstage, her love and belief in ballet has never changed.
Xue Jinghua revealed that when Nixon visited China in 1972, she appeared on stage again, and her high-intensity performance made her have a fever for several consecutive days and eventually fell ill. The doctor said that half a year of rest, half a year and half a year, ten and a half years, five years passed. For a dancer, a three-day break is a big deal. She was very grateful to Premier Zhou, who called her to her side during her illness, cordially inquired about her condition, and encouraged her to travel to Japan as a member of the Chinese delegation to broaden her horizons. After arriving in Japan, The head of the liao chengzhi regiment sent medicine to treat the injury, and Xue Jinghua said with tears: "I can only buy this bottle of medicine on ten months' salary, without the care of the state and the prime minister, I would not have received such care." So no matter what, I have to treat my illness well, to return to the stage, to be worthy of the care of the prime minister, and to be worthy of the cultivation of the country. ”
