On the stage of the Annual Spring Festival Gala of Hunan Satellite TV, Yi Shuying, a national first-class actor and famous Xiang singer, will always celebrate the New Year with the audience with sweet singing and good wishes.

"Let us deeply bless, bless this flower is always good, the moon is always round, the mountains are evergreen, the water is long..." This year's small Chinese New Year's Eve, as the finale program, Yi Shiying was full of affection and sang the theme song "Deep Blessings" of the "2022 Hunan Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala", she sang so gracefully and melodiously, warm and beautiful, deeply attracted and infected the audience, and well interpreted and sublimated the main tone of this evening.

Yi Shuying is a native Ofe Xiang girl, and her song flows with deep affection for sanxiang and four waters. In this performance, Yi Shuying's feelings of home and country and hometown are overflowing with words. She said: "Standing on the stage of my hometown, performing for my father and fellow villagers, I feel very excited and warm in my heart, I often use my singing voice to send deep blessings to the motherland and the people, and I always hope to bless my hometown better and better, and our lives are more beautiful and happy." ”

Write for the people, sing songs for the people, and sing the voice of the people with a sense of truth

"Being able to participate in the 11th National Cultural Congress as a member of the Hunan delegation is a great honor for me, and it is also a heavy responsibility." In 2021, for Yi Shuying, the most important thing is to attend the 11th National Cultural Congress and listen to General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on the cause of literature and art in the Great Hall of the People.

Choosing one thing, going deep into the people, adhering to the same frequency resonance between artistic creation and the development of the times, and reflecting the voice of the people with fine works is the experience that Yi Shuying most wants to express when participating in the Eleventh National Literary Congress.

Yi Shiying said that she has always adhered to the people-centered creative orientation, written for the people, sung songs for the people, and firmly rooted in the people, regarded the creation of literary and artistic masterpieces that the people like to hear, as an eternal pursuit on the road of literary and artistic creation, strived to create outstanding works worthy of the times and the people, made her own modest efforts for the party's literary and artistic cause, and practiced the glorious mission of literary and artistic workers with heart, affection, and strength.

I resolutely follow the principle of "coming from the people and going among the masses." Not long ago, the Hunan Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature carried out the "Motherland's New Year Good Happiness into Ten Thousand Homes" -- "Smile Full of Three Xiangs" literary and artistic volunteer service activities in Sugu Village, Guanqiao Town, Liuyang City, and Yi Shuying sang the song "Sunshine China" warm and cheerful, bringing a warm and harmonious atmosphere to the village in winter.

"The people's very simple interaction will be particularly warm, and the performance for the most basic people is different, we are like their children, very kind, because I was also born in the countryside, and it will also evoke a lot of childhood memories for me." Yi Shuying said from the bottom of his heart.

For this performance, in Yi Shiying's view, it is a good opportunity to interact with the people at zero distance to learn and exchange, and "Laughing In Three Xiangs" is a literary and artistic volunteer practice activity that sincerely serves the people and sends laughter to the people.

Inherit the red experience and draw on the strength of endeavor

"I've been to the place where she sacrificed, and the place where she sacrificed is in my hometown," Yi Said emotionally. 2021 is the centenary of the founding of the party, and a number of excellent red works that tell the story of party history and inherit red genes have emerged in our province. Yi Shuying played Mao Zejian in the red musical "Spark" that "restored" the Shonan student movement, and devoted herself to the performance, which had a wide social impact.

"Spark", jointly created by Yanfeng District of Hengyang City and Hengyang City Song and Dance Troupe, tells the story of after the May Thirtieth Massacre, Mao Zejian, a member of the Shonan Federation of Students, organized classmates to march on the streets to carry out an anti-imperialist patriotic movement to boycott Japanese goods and advocate domestic goods, and truly reflected the touching revolutionary love story of this hero and Chen Fen, one of the leaders of the Shonan Federation, presenting a three-dimensional red picture of youth and magnificent waves.

Although he has more than 20 years of stage experience, it is the first time to appear in a musical. Yi Shuying said that in "Spark", Mao Zejian, who played the hero of the towel, had a special feeling in his heart, because as a native of Hengshan, Yi Shiying had to pass through the Mao Zejian Martyrs Memorial Park every time he went from his home in Xuanzhou to Hengshan County when he was a child, and he knew Mao Zejian's revolutionary deeds very early and had always been full of admiration for him. After learning about the rehearsal plan of "Spark", she gladly accepted the performance task, and temporarily changed the performance schedule, gave up the time to reunite with her family in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and often raced for the second and unrelentingly devoted herself to the rehearsal work of "Spark".

In order to play the role of Mao Zejian, Yi Shuying systematically consulted the historical documents of Mao Zejian, Chen Fen, and the Shonan Scholars' Association to deeply feel the historical background at that time and understand the character characteristics. During this period, she found a photo of Mao Zejian before the righteousness, which was also the only photo left by Mao Zejian to the world, repeatedly pondered, carefully observed, strengthened her understanding, and finally realized her spiritual temperament.

"From her firm and pure eyes, I could feel that she was a pure person, a revolutionary who was willing to sacrifice everything for her faith and die generously." Yi Shiying said that on the road of his growth, he was deeply inspired and inspired by the heroic deeds, and rehearsing "Spark" was both a hero and a hero, hoping that everyone could not only see the romantic love story of the revolutionaries, but also feel the great love and faith shown by that generation of young people in the face of the overall situation.

Achieve the value of life in the pursuit of virtue and art

"I hope that the vast number of literary and art workers will persist in carrying forward the right path and achieve the value of life in the pursuit of virtue and art." General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the opening ceremony of the Eleventh National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Tenth National Congress of the China Writers Association has pointed out the fundamental direction for literary and art workers to be virtuous, self-cultivating, and practicing art.

"'Virtue and art' will always be a lofty goal to be pursued by literary and art workers." For the virtue and art double Xin, in Yi Shiying's view, this is the life's homework of literary and art workers, if you want to follow the arts, first stand up for morality, literary and art workers should set an example for society with good morality and noble sentiments, so that they have the responsibility to guard the land, fulfill their responsibilities in guarding the land, and create and perform more excellent works worthy of the times and the people.

Only by feeling the new era and loving the new era can we create and launch more masterpieces that carry forward the main theme and are full of positive energy. "Deep Blessings", "Sunshine China", "Brother of a Soldier in a Thousand Miles", "The Moon blossoms", "The Motherland is good every year"... Over the years, Yi Shuying has used excellent literary and artistic works to give back to the times and the people, and the songs she sang sang the voice of the times and conveyed the power of stirring people's hearts. In Yi Shuying's heart, the gold cup and silver cup are not as good as the reputation of the people, and she hopes that on the road of literary and artistic creation, it is truly rooted in the fertile soil of real life, and sings the true voice of the people with grounded and positive energy works.

"In the new year, I hope that I can go more among the people, create fine literary and artistic works that are more in line with the times, praise the times, and praise the people, and create works that can be sung loudly and left behind, so I will go more to the people to excavate, discover, perform, and create, so as to be proud of the welcome and love of the people." Yi Shuying said.
