Lu Siqing at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, the iconic micro-curly hair, white shirt, black suit, exquisite performance standards, and charming performances left a deep impression on us. That night, Lu Siqing and Ouyang Nana and the Liangshan Symphony Orchestra's song "The Age of Awakening" were magnificent, as if we had returned to a hundred years ago, when groups of young people raised flags in the wind, waved their blood, and lit the flame of revolution with their lives; a hundred years later, the ancestors imagined that New China was finally bathed in the spring breeze of the new era, and the people who listened to it were surging with blood, as if they were immersed in the scene, which was the charm of Lu Siqing's violin playing.
Is this still the charming teenager who was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music at the age of eight, entered the Menuhin Music School in the United Kingdom at the age of 11, won the gold medal of the Italian Paganini Violin Competition at the age of 17, was admitted to the Manhattan Conservatory of Music at the age of 19, and transferred to the Giulia Conservatory of Music the following year? Unconsciously, Lu Siqing has entered half a hundred years. Perhaps because Lu Siqing has always been active on the stage and sees us frequently, we often forget his age. Over the years, at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in China, the Lincoln Center for the Arts in New York, the Musikverein in Vienna, the Royal Opera House in London... In these world's top music halls, Lu Siqing has conquered audiences in nearly 40 countries and regions around the world with his enthusiastic performance and unparalleled musical charm, and is one of the most active outstanding Chinese violinists in today's international orchestras, and has been praised by the Western media as a great genius and an unparalleled violinist.
He has cooperated with many top conductors and many internationally renowned orchestras, and has been invited to participate in performance activities of top art festivals and music festivals around the world, published many solo albums with world-renowned record companies, and has also been invited to perform for the heads and heads of state of China and many countries and regions. The awards are even more numerous, as we said to get the awards softly.
Here I can't list how many concerts and performances Lu Siqing attends in a year, and how many awards he has won. I'm afraid I can't finish a few pages, I just know that he is either standing on the stage to perform, or on the way to the performance, he does not belong to himself, does not belong to the family, but belongs to the whole country, belongs to the whole world. So, not only do many people have to ask about such frequent performances, how does he balance career and family? Who is the woman standing behind Lu Siqing? Some people on the Internet have questioned that most musicians are emotionally rich and bohemian. Some people search online for How many times has Lu Siqing been married? As far as I know, Lu Siqing has only been married once, and they are deeply in love, love for a lifetime, and their romantic love is praised by the world.
Lu Siqing's beloved wife Yang Yang is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, and her father is a very famous local baritone singer, composer and music educator. Yang Yang was also influenced by his father and fell in love with vocal performances. In 1993, YangYang's unit held a series of concerts of "20th Century Chinese Music Classics" and invited Lu Siqing to return to China to perform, at this time Yangyang did reception work in this organizing committee, and has since become friends with Lu Siqing. Lu Siqing once made a guest appearance in "Chinese Fan", revealed in this program, or Lu Siqing chased the sheep and sheep, at the beginning, Lu Siqing invited the sheep and sheep to listen to the concert, the sheep and sheep did not go to the appointment, then Lu Siqing said that he adopted his own unique method, offstage, for the sheep and sheep to play "The Joy of Love", "Greetings of Love", "Liang Zhu" and other songs, I think Lu Siqing's piano sound, is no one can resist, but also won the heart of the sheep and sheep.
In order to be able to be with Lu Siqing, Yang Yang gave up a stable job and a singing career that he loved and stayed in the United States. Usually, Lu Siqing attends the Julia Conservatory of Music, and Yang Yang studies at Hunter University in Manhattan, and only on weekends does Lu Siqing have time to see her. In 1998, Lu Siqing graduated from the Julia Conservatory of Music and married Yang Yang.
Their wedding according to the standards of modern people, it can be described by the word "shabby", their wedding in addition to a necessary witness, not even prepared to give each other wedding rings, and later they want to do a good wedding, but because they are busy with performances all day, there is no chance. But these sheep didn't care, she felt that nothing was more important than being in love and living happily with her loved ones, and the procedure of marriage was not so important.
After marriage, Yang Yang, a Manhattan graduate with a master's degree in music, voluntarily gave up his dream of becoming a singer. Help Lu Siqing take care of some performance things, deal with the trivialities of life, in Lu Siqing's mind, the sheep and sheep are almost perfect. Deal with things, be organized, calm and calm. With the artist's vision, the accurate grasp of color makes the home comfortable and beautiful. With her love and sincerity, she turned her home into a haven to dock. She is good at dancing with long sleeves, and does her best to do a good job in the roles of wife, mother, daughter-in-law, and daughter, so that Lu Siqing can pursue her career without distraction.
So this made Lu Siqing feel very guilty, Lu Siqing said: "If the sheep and sheep had not met me, they would have been an excellent singer." If there is a future life, I hope he will still be my wife, but the two of us will play a role swap, she will be the party with a successful career, and I will be his strong backing at home." Since Xu's life, Lu Siqing's love and affection for his wife can be seen.
In Lu Siqing's mind, love, like art, does not need to be debauched, but needs to be focused and responsible. Although he has been star-studded, he has always loved his wife and family. Lu Siqing blamed all this on having a good wife, he said that the sheep and sheep were the gifts of heaven in his life, and with her, he made him love life more, become more responsible and loving. But the sheep and sheep are willing to be the woman behind Lu Siqing for decades, and the couple is deeply affectionate and enviable.
In 2004, Lu Siqing and his beloved wife Yang Yang jointly published "Love For a Lifetime - Lu Siqing Sheep and Sheep Couple Album". On this album, Lu Siqing uses the multi-million dollar 18th-century Italian violin "Wieniawski" to play passionately, and the sheep and sheep use their songs to match their lover Qinser, giving the classic melody a new charm. It is a good interpretation of the theme of love for a lifetime, which is the true portrayal of their romantic love, and the sheep is the woman lu Siqing loves all her life.
Affectionate as Lu Siqing, he not only gave his love to his wife Yang Yang, but also gave him a lifelong career. Even now that it has entered the half-hundredth year, in addition to performance, Lu Siqing has poured more attention into the popularization and inheritance of music. Lu Siqing believes that being able to accompany music is a kind of happiness in life, but in the vast sea of people, how many people in a city of tens of millions of people have the time and ability to come to the concert hall to listen to a concert? Therefore, Lu Siqing used the form of public welfare performances to bring music into every corner of the city and send it to more people. One of the phrases he used to say was "get out." This big musician who has received applause, flowers and cheers from countless music fans in the concert hall at the temple level, regardless of the journey of Laoton, walked into the Xiong'an New District, into the countryside, as long as the audience wants to see him and want to listen to his music, he will bring his valuable famous piano and gladly go there. In the community, hospitals, schools and even the canteens of construction sites, on the humble stages of the makeshift, you can see his figure and hear his beautiful piano.
Writing this, it is already late at night, looking at the thick material of Lu Siqing collected in order to write this article, I went from the initial excitement to trepidation. I tried hard to show a real Lu Siqing with flesh and blood in front of everyone, but my level was limited, I did not have a brilliant pen for raw flowers, and I could not write one hundred thousandth of Lu Siqing. I repeatedly listened to My favorite Lu Siqing's classic masterpieces "Liang Zhu", "I Love You, China", "Swan", "Meditation", etc., and his soothing and sometimes exciting natural music at that time always made me intoxicated, lingering and unable to extricate myself. I want to step into Lu Siqing's rich inner world step by step and show a multi-faceted Lu Siqing. He is the glamorous and star-studded artist on the stage; he is the good husband in the family who is affectionate to his wife and loves his life; he is the good father who usually practices the piano with his two sons but is very strict; he is the musician who does not care about fame and fortune, focusing on the inheritance of classical music and the cultivation of the next generation; he is the approachable, smiling big brother in "Longing for Life"... No matter which side of you, we will always love you!
Just write here, if we say that we are not addicted to listening to Lu Siqing's music on the Internet, then, on October 2nd, we may as well go to Shanghai Jiukeshu. At the Nine Trees Future Art Center, there is a concert by Lu Siqing, let us have a live version of the audiovisual feast, we are waiting!
