Each ethnic group has its own splendid culture. Songs with their own national style, as the traditional art of the working people, have been passed down orally from generation to generation, and have become an important element that constitutes the backbone of the Chinese folk customs.
Song Zuying, the diva of Chinese folk songs, once passed Chinese folk songs into the ears of the world's listeners in the "Golden Hall" in Vienna in 2003.
He lost his father at an early age, and music gave him strength
Song Zuying, a hot girl in Hunan, grew up in Laozhai Village in Xiangxi Province, where there are beautiful natural scenery and characteristic ethnic culture.
The people here are hospitable and can sing and dance, although Song Zuying's personality is not very outgoing, but he also inherits the local specialty of singing.
As the eldest in the family, Song Zuying still has younger siblings to take care of, and the eldest sister is like a mother, so she also undertakes a lot of farm work in the family.
The field is the stage she grew up on, and everyone can hum a few words under the unique local mountain songs, but Song Zuying's mouth is more beautiful and loud.
Growing up in the beautiful xiangxi, Song Zuying is also very sweet in appearance, and can always find a favorite position in the school art specialty.
Shuttling through the mountain paths between school and home, this cute little girl stepped on the green, accompanied by the mountains, accompanied by a song of mountain songs, and spent a beautiful childhood in this way.
But living peacefully at the age of twelve suffered an unprecedented blow, and his father died of tuberculosis in that year.
The family lost the main bone, and everyone fell into great grief in an instant, among which Mother Song was particularly sad.
Since then, the burden of a family of four has all fallen on the shoulders of her mother, and Song Zuying, as the eldest sister, has also shared it more sensibly for her mother.
But suffering did not bring the little girl down, and in the heavy life, singing became her way of discharging.
The little girl found her own peaceful place in the song, and the music became the first "nobleman" in her life.
The world never seems to treat people who live with their hearts, and at the age of fifteen, Song Zuying seized his first opportunity.
That year, the opera troupe in Guzhang County recruited new students, and the news reached Song Zuying's ears, although this little girl had never systematically studied music, but the natural and simple singing still impressed the staff, and Song Zuying became one of the alternative members.
Since then, Song Zuying, who has been exposed to professional music, has absorbed professional knowledge like a sponge.
She is not only talented, but also very hardworking, and the vocal knowledge and pronunciation skills learned from the teacher have made her singing skills have improved qualitatively.
In 1982, Song Zuying became a full actor in the opera troupe with excellent examination results, and has since embarked on a professional artistic path.
It is said that the opportunity is left to those who are prepared, and Song Zuying not only does his own work in the troupe, but also memorizes all the plays performed every time. Although she can only play some dragon set roles, she will memorize the whole process and lines.
When he went to the countryside to perform, the protagonist was unexpectedly unable to participate, and it was seen that the show would open the skylight, but Song Zuying had already memorized the performance of the protagonist and successfully starred in the protagonist.
Since then, half a year after becoming a full actor, Song Zuying has become the main actor of the troupe.
The income in the troupe gave the Song family, who had lost their father, a stable source of income, which also made Song Zuying treat singing as his life's work.
Because the basic skills are weak, song Zuying will actively participate in any study class.
In July 1982, Song Zuying participated in the Wenwu Opera Workshop held by the Zhouli Drama Research Office, which was very different from the folk songs and mountain songs she had previously been exposed to, and her basic skills had been greatly improved after a month of hard study.
Not only that, Song Zuying also got another important opportunity at the graduation party.
Song Zuying, who was making rapid progress, sang a song called "Zhiyin", and this performance was widely broadcast by the county radio, and her fresh and beautiful singing voice touched countless listeners, including the leader of the Xiangxi Ministry of Culture.
Because of this opportunity, Song Zuying was valued by the State Theater Research Office, and the performance opportunity of a state key play fell to her.
The key play, titled "A Hundred Birds with Blood", also won the "Silver Award of the National Ethnic Minority Script Award".
Since then, Song Zuying, as a member of the Xiangxi representative team, has begun to perform frequently in various places.
In December 1984, Song Zuying officially became a singer in the state song and dance troupe, and at this time, this girl who had just turned eighteen had become a famous singer in the state.
With talent and hard work, Song Zuying transformed his stage from a mountain field into a gorgeous hall.
The first time they met, they were amazed
Song Zuying's artistic career has just begun, after many out-of-home performances, Song Zuying has also seen more peer performances, a relative comparison, but also more aware of his shortcomings.
In the county and in the state, Song Zuying is a well-deserved Hua Dan, and looking at the whole country, there are many leaders with eighteen martial arts, and her skills are not enough to see.
When Song Zuying got the news that the Department of Music and Dance of the Central Institute for Nationalities had come to Xiangxi to recruit actors, she instantly saw the opportunity.
To have a bigger breakthrough, she had to study harder, and going to the best school in the capital was something she dreamed of.
Although Song Zuying has a good appearance and a strong profession, he must also pass the pass to enter the cultural class of this school.
But Song Zuying, who entered the troupe at the age of fourteen, did not even graduate from junior high school, making it extremely difficult for her to balance her profession and culture in just a few months.
Although Song Zuying has a quiet personality, his heart is extremely strong.
She took out the determination to memorize the lines of the whole play and began to waste sleep and forget to eat and make up for the cultural lessons.
Huang Tian did not pay off, and she became one of the 85th class students of the Music and Dance Department of the Central College for Nationalities.
In the professional university, Song Zuying was taught by the teachers, and her artistic literacy and musical skills made new breakthroughs. Here, too, she saw the bigger stage.
The Youth Song Contest is the stage for every student studying singing art to dream, and it has become Song Zuying's wish to get trophies and be recognized here.
But there are a lot of talents here, and each participant is a martial artist.
Song Zuying came to participate in the competition with full hope, the third young singer competition was held in Hunan, as his hometown, Song Zuying also hoped to get good luck.
But Song Zuying, who has little experience in participating in the competition, encountered powerful opponents here, this time, the goddess of luck did not come, and to everyone's surprise, Song Zuying fell to the sun mountain.
While this isn't her first setback, singing has always been her most confident thing.
She has a wealth of acting experience, and after several years of professional schooling, she is confident that she will win awards in the competition.
The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and this defeat hit Song Zuying's confidence so hard that she did not participate in the next competition.
But she was still lucky, because the defeat allowed her to meet Luo Hao, the man who would accompany her forever.
Luo Hao had been working on the field as the choreographer of Hunan Television at that time, and the first moment he saw Song Zuying in the competition, he was attracted by this sweet-looking and fresh-tempered girl.
And the moment she sang on the stage, the temperament she showed made this man enter a time and space called love under the beautiful singing.
At this time, he did not dare to talk without permission, silently watching Song Zuying's performance on the side of the stage, he applauded her, cheered inwardly, but only saw the lonely look of the other party.
Song Zuying, who was full of confidence, unexpectedly lost, and Luo Hao also felt sorry for her.
But Luo Hao seized the moment, and people would be more impressed by the kindness of coming to help when they were most lost.
On the one hand, for the pity of excellent actors, on the other hand, for his own selfishness, Luo Hao contacted Song Zuying, gave her advice, and recommended it to Mr. Jin Tielin, a famous vocal educator.
The appearance of these two noble people in life once again allowed Song Zuying to regain confidence.
Returning to Beijing to continue his studies, Song Zuying often received letters from Luo Hao, full of concerns about his life and studies.
In the cold winter of Beijing, The loneLy Song Zuying found warmth in this man who was 12 years older than himself.
After unremitting efforts, Song Zuying finally won the first place in the Youth Song Contest.
Sometimes good luck can not be stopped, in the Chinese New Year's Eve of 1990, when everyone gathered at home and sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Song Zuying's song "Little Back Basket" let the national audience know this beautiful and sweet Hunan girl.
At the other end of the TV, Luo Hao was also looking intently at the radiant girl in front of him.
The small back basket ended the childhood years of a Xiangxi girl, the stilt tower flew out of the Ming Phoenix, Song Zuying sang the simple happiness of childhood, and also ushered in a beautiful life in the future.
Go into marriage and work together
A special letter arrived in Song Zuying's hands, in which Luo Hao expressed his love, at this time he was waiting for the judgment of fate, once heaven was lost.
But Luo Hao did not receive a clear reply, and the words in the reply letter were Song Zuying's frank confessions, she told the man that he had a complicated family, that he had lost his father at an early age and that his younger siblings needed to be supported, and that his brother had become deaf and mute because of an accident.
The words of the girl in her early twenties all showed maturity beyond her peers, and she exhorted Luo Hao to think twice.
This is not a euphemism to refuse, in the help and care again and again, Song Zuying has long regarded this man as his family, because his father died prematurely, and the mature and capable Luo Hao has become Song Zuying's life mentor.
The Spring Festival Gala made Song Zuying's popularity open, and Luo Hao was also a talented person, not only able to write songs, but also a competent employee of Hunan Station, which was reused in Taili at that time.
The success of this man is not only based on luck, his talent and judgment are indispensable, and he planted a love root when he first saw Song Zuying, and the difficulties that the girl said were not a big deal for him.
The two people with similar temperaments soon came together, and in 1991, Song Zuying, who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, successfully entered the military and political song and dance troupe.
Her career has stabilized in the process of rising.
At the beginning of the second year, a day of warm spring flowers, Song Zuying joined hands with Luo Hao and entered the marriage hall.
Song Zuying, who has been missing from her family since childhood, has longed to have a complete family, and she completed this life event at the age of 26.
Song Zuying and her husband have the same judgment and determination that is different from ordinary people, many people will choose to marry late or marry into the rich after becoming famous, Song Zuying has long found the most suitable for his other half.
After getting married, the two have their own small families and live an enviable life, but they do not stop here, and their careers are also thriving in the best years of life.
Song Zuying visited the world on behalf of the national delegation, leaving a chinese cultural figure on the stage of a foreign country and spreading Chinese folk songs all over the world.
After the success of her career, Song Zuying did not stop, just like the little girl who had a study class to actively participate in, Song Zuying also studied for a master's degree, strengthened her professional ability, and contributed to the promotion of juniors.
In May 2002, the 10th Youth Song Contest was selected, and at this time, Song Zuying was no longer the girl who lost the first competition, and there were many talents on this stage.
This time, she sat on the jury. He has served as a judge for six consecutive years in the following ten consecutive years. During this period, she became a Chinese folk song queen with many popular songs.
In order to spread the Chinese national vocal art to the rest of the world, Song Zuying began to hold frequent concerts overseas, singing in Sydney and Vienna, and asked the mayor of the District of Columbia to designate October 12, the day she came to perform, as "Song Zuying" Day.
Song Zuying's marriage with Luo Hao did not cause a gap because of the gathering of less and more, and the two of them moved forward together in their respective fields.
Luo Hao's work in the TV station was very smooth, and since then he has served as the deputy director of Changsha Radio and Television, successfully produced more than a dozen TV works with excellent reputation and influence, such as "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Qia Classmate Youth", becoming one of the top ten producers in the country.
The talented Luo Hao also wrote songs for his wife such as "Xiangnu Amorous" and "Moon Flowers Blooming", which were full of his love for his wife, and Song Zuying sang about the beautiful life of Xiangzi and her happy marriage in these songs.
Song Zuying promoted the spread of Chinese folk songs with his excellent singing skills and work, and became a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Not only did he make his own efforts, but he also gave guidance to countless new people. After entering the new century, she finally slowed down.
In 2005, the 39-year-old Song Zuying gave birth to a big fat boy, the son she gave birth to at an advanced age, which was her first child in the thirteen years since she married Luo Hao.
She had been busy with work before, but now that she has received countless glories, she has finally made the family complete.
Since then, Song Zuying has also participated in performance activities one after another, bringing good songs for the audience, and has also successfully become the head of the military and political cultural and industrial troupe, and has further advanced in his career.
