At the beginning of the 21st century, Li Yugang finished singing in a nightclub and received the news that the band had disbanded.
When everything was not going well, he walked to the river, looked at the calm river, and he thought: Nothing has gone smoothly from childhood to adulthood, the heavens are unwilling to take care of me, what is the meaning of living.
He made up his mind to jump into the river.
He was only in his 20s at the time, but he had already experienced countless ups and downs.
In 1978, Li Yugang was born in a poor family in the northeast, his parents were busy making a living, there was no time to take care of him, and he did not have his own name until elementary school.
It is said that the children of poor families have long been in charge, Li Yugang understands things very early, he knows that his parents are not easy, and he has worked hard since he was a child.
During his school years, Li Yugang's grades have always been among the best.
In addition to going to school, Li Yugang's childhood life was to help his parents with farm work.
Her mother has a good voice, and she often sings a song when the farmer is busy, and Xiao Li Yugang also learns to sing like her mother.
Li Yugang said that since he was a child, he liked poetry, singing and dancing, but they did not allow him to engage in these things in that place, and he had to go out.
In 1996, Li Yugang, a high school graduate, was admitted to the Jilin Provincial Academy of Arts with honors, but his family did not have the money to provide him with college.
In order not to add a burden to the family, the sensible Li Yugang chose to drop out of school.
He left a note for his family and left for work with 200 yuan.
Without the money to rent a house, he lived on a hospital bench for several months.
Because of his young age and no work experience, there was no place to ask him, and there was no food for several days, and the hospital doorman uncle saw that he was pitiful and gave him a bowl of porridge.
In order to live, he did everything, housekeeping, waiters, porters, and sang in the song hall to earn money.
Later, with the help of friends, he opened a housekeeping company, but because of his lack of experience, he lost everything.
At that time, Li Yugang was 22 years old, and society taught him a lesson.
In order to pay off his debts, he began to work everywhere again.
Singing in the song hall at night, buying tapes in the video store during the day, which was Li Yugang's first music teacher.
By chance, he met Mr. Ma Hongcai, an actor in Peking Opera, and studied opera with Mr. Ma.
In order to pursue his deductive dreams, he practiced desperately.
I started dancing in my twenties, and the hardships were unimaginable.
Li Yugang has never shed a tear before, and when it comes to practicing dance, Li Yugang cries almost every day, pressing his legs and opening his shoulders, everything is painful for Li Yugang.
When it came time to perform, opera was not popular.
Li Yugang said: In folk performances, the opera that has been practiced for so long is not popular, but the popularity is a mess, and I once doubted whether these bitter foods are meaningful.
Finally, one day, during the performance, the organizer asked Li Yugang and another female singer to sing "For Whom", and when they came to the scene, the female singer did not come to the scene, and in a hurry, Li Yugang took the initiative to ask Miao to play two roles.
The Danjiao singing voice, which had been practiced for a long time, surprised the audience and won the applause of the whole hall.
After stepping down, Li Yugang thought, since this singing method is so popular, why not try it?
Back home, he began to grope and embarked on the road of anti-string.
Once upon a time, listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan songs in the video store, he felt that Lin Yilian's eyes were particularly charming, so he learned from Lin Yilian's appearance and narrowed his eyes.
In order to make his body more feminine, he practiced dancing harder, often indistinguishable from sweat and tears.
But when he changed his clothes, he still felt that he was not "feminine" enough.
Looking left and right, Li Yugang found that he had a problem with his makeup.
He thought of Liu Xiaoqing in the TV series "Wu Zetian", from teenagers to old age, the makeup can be described as fascinating, Li Yugang plucked up enough courage to find Mao Geping, who made up makeup for Liu Xiaoqing.
After several visits, Mao Geping agreed that Li Yugang would follow him to learn.
In one year, Li Yugang's makeup skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and since then, all of Li Yugang's makeup has been self-made.
During this period, Li Yugang's performance was not shelved.
With the improvement of technology, Li Yugang has become more and more "feminine" on the stage.
However, in that era, not everyone could accept this form of performance.
When he went to the cave and sang, people often threw things on the stage and cursed people, and some hooligans blocked him and cut him with knives to vent their anger, and now Li Yugang can still see deep scars on his shoulders and legs.
The scars on his body made Li Yugang's acting career come to a desperate situation, just in time for the band to be tricked into disbanding, and Li Yugang completely collapsed.
He walked to the river and chose to commit suicide.
But his life should not be extinguished, a group of beggars passed by to rescue him, the beggar comforted him and said: We have no strength, no dignity to live on money, you still have talent, and if you become a big star in the future, don't forget us.
Li Yugang nodded with tears in his eyes.
There are so many people suffering in the world, they are insisting, why can't they?
Li Yugang went back to sleep well and continued to perform the next day.
Perennial cave walking, he also met a lot of friends, Phoenix Legend, Ah Bao, etc., they all said: Li Yugang is the best singing ability among them.
In 2005, Phoenix Legend and Ah Bao both became famous through the "Walk of Fame" and embarked on the road of television acting.
Li Yugang also waited for the opportunity.
One day, Li Yugang received a phone call, the other party said that he was the director of "Avenue of Stars" and wanted to find a singer.
When Li Yugang heard that it was not his own name, he replied to the other party: I am Li Yugang.
The other party asked him: You are also a singer, right?
Li Yugang seized the opportunity to introduce himself to the other party and eventually obtained the qualification to participate in the program.
Subsequently, Li Yugang regretted it.
It can be seen on television by a national audience, which means that the hometowner will know about his work, and his parents may be criticized.
This year Li Yugang was 28 years old, the 10th year of wandering outside, if he missed this opportunity, he might not have a chance in his life, and after the ideological struggle, he decided to fight a battle.
He said: I am fully prepared, only success is not allowed to fail.
When we arrived at the scene of the show, the accident happened again.
At that time, there was a player Kong Ying who was the same as Li Yugang, and the two reached the final pk stage.
This battle decided "life and death", but Li Yugang, who had performed well, failed.
Just when Li Yugang was lost, the director suddenly said: There was a problem with the voting rights on the spot, and some judges pressed the wrong one.
The scene was chaotic, and Li Yugang said that it was the black three minutes of his life.
Until the final change of votes, Li Yugang won the championship on the spot, he was blinded.
Later, Li Yugang passed the pass and won the third place of that year.
When listening to this story, the host Yang Lan sighed: If you bloom, butterflies come, if you are wonderful, the sky is arranged by itself.
No anti-string artist has been able to achieve such success before him.
He not only contributed a new form of performance to the show business circle, but also justified the name of "anti-string artist".
In October of the same year, Li Yugang was invited to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony, and the live song "Farewell to the King" surprised the audience.
The performance made songwriter Hu Li notice Li Yugang.
As early as 2001, Hu Li wrote a song, which is a collection of classical, dramatic, and popular, and has not found a suitable singer to interpret for 5 years.
This song is "The New Noble Concubine Is Drunk.".
Since then, Li Yugang's popularity has soared, and people who have scolded others for demons have gradually accepted him, especially after the Spring Festival Gala, Li Yugang has been pushed to the peak of his career.
Li Yugang performed in interviews, but he never said his hardships, he said: I think I have not done enough, I am not a talented person, I must pay more effort than others.
Vanity Fair did not make Li Yugang lost, he knew that what he wanted most was his achievement in opera.
After becoming famous, most of his energy was devoted to promoting opera.
In 2011, he starred in the song and dance drama "Four Beautiful Pictures" at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, he singled the beams, and one performed the story of the four beautiful women in China, the performance lasted more than an hour, 9 songs, and 3 difficult dances.
He was widely recognized by Chinese.
In 2013, he sold his house for the stage play "Zhaojun Out of the Jam", and he and his team traveled more than 3,000 kilometers north to collect wind, learn about history, and visit historical sites.
He learned "Chu culture" over and over again, just so that he could perform the most authentic Zhaojun.
He rarely participates in variety shows, but in order to be able to successfully star in "Zhaojun Out of the Jam", he participated hard, and all the money he earned was invested in stage plays.
From the stage to the makeup, every detail is designed by Li Yugang himself.
He said he had a reverence for opera, a kind of examination of the soul.
After that, "Zhaojun Out of the Plug" sensationalized the world, performing in the United States, Canada, Thailand and other places, exporting Chinese culture.
He also became the second Chinese to board the Sydney Opera House.
At that time, he was no longer a folk artist, but a national actor.
Promoting Chinese culture is still the first of his work, and this time participating in the new variety show is also the same.
On this "pop" stage, he wears traditional costumes in every performance and is committed to incorporating opera elements into pop music.
The first performance, a red dress, drumming and singing, in the "First Experience of Love" into the "Garden Dream", Kunqu into the pop music, listening to people are fascinated.
He said: I especially hope that through this stage, the national style will be rejuvenated.
No scramble, serious performance is his attitude.
After the program was recorded, it was the Spring Festival holiday, and he took off his performance clothes and returned home to start farming.
Sitting on the corn heap, there is no "swaying posture" at all.
From 0 to 9, and finally to 0, is his life.
Li Yugang said: A drop in the ocean, I am too ordinary, many people walk and walk and get lost.
He was glad he hadn't lost himself.
A song "Wanjiang" more than 15 billion listened to, with the status of a national first-class actor, people say that he worked hard to win the victory.
But he said: Where there is any victory to speak of, holding on means everything.
