"Liuyang River, bending over several bends, dozens of miles of waterway to the Xiangjiang River, there is a county by the river, what kind of people..."

In 1989, a solo song of the Spring Festival Gala of "Picking Betel Nuts" made Zhang Ye popular all over the country and became a well-known female singer.

Looking back at Zhang Ye's singing path, at a glance, it is full of splendor.
Zhang Ye was born on May 28, 1968 in Changsha, Hunan Province, to a theater writer and a flower drum actor to a mother.
Zhang Ye, who was born in a literary and artistic family, seems to have inherited the excellent genes of his parents. When she first entered kindergarten, she could sing every single taught by the teacher perfectly, showing amazing talent.
Li Guyi, who also lived in the compound of the Huagu Drama Theater, grew up watching Zhang Ye, and Zhang also called her "dry mother". Seeing Zhang Ye's artistic talent, Li Guyi suggested that the Zhang family's parents send her to the art school system to study. Therefore, with the support of his mother, 14-year-old Zhang Ye gave up the key high school and applied for an art school.

By chance, Zhang Ye sang a song "Small Ferry in the Mountains" and was broadcast by CCTV, and it happened that Professor Jin Tielin of the China Conservatory of Music heard Zhang Ye singing on the TV station, and was very satisfied with her voice conditions, and immediately invited her to apply for the China Conservatory of Music.
In 1986, Zhang also lived up to expectations and was admitted to the Vocal Music Department of the China Conservatory of Music, where he studied under Professor Jin Tielin.
In the same year, with his unique voice and excellent singing skills, Zhang also participated in the second CCTV Youth Song Competition. In 1988, she participated in the third CCTV Youth Song Competition and won the third prize of the professional group of ethnic singing.
Through continuous efforts, coupled with her own talent, whether it is a soft folk song minor key, or a highly skilled and wide range of national opera excerpts, Zhang can always easily control, she is known as "a unique singer in the contemporary Chinese music scene".
Just when the development of the cause was in full swing, Zhang Ye faded out of the public eye, and for a time there were many opinions.
In August 1995, Zhang Ye's father was diagnosed with a benign tumor. At this time, Zhang was also studying for a master's degree at the China Conservatory of Music, and was busy performing everywhere, and the father was worried about affecting his daughter's study and work, and had been hiding from her.

However, his father's illness became more and more serious, and the family could no longer hide it, so they told Zhang Ye the truth. In mid-November 1996, Zhang also returned from performing abroad and forcibly took his father to Beijing for inspection.
When the test results of the "malignant bladder tumor in the middle and advanced stage" came out, Zhang also burst into tears instantly. Her heart was full of guilt and self-blame, regretting why she hadn't come back earlier to see her father, but it was already too late. The only thing she could do at this time was to be with her father at all times, even if every minute and second was precious.
Therefore, in those years, Zhang also refused all commercial performances, and gradually faded out of the audience's sight, she accompanied her father to tour the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, took her father to visit relatives and friends, went to the beach for recuperation, no matter when and where, accompanied by her father's side, so that her father could enjoy more family affection and happiness in the last moments of his life.
However, in 2001, Zhang Ye's father's condition deteriorated again and left her forever.
The death of her father hit Zhang Ye very hard, and she could not get rid of the pain of her father's departure for a long time. She once said in an interview: "My father has helped me a lot, whether it is in my singing career to help me guide me, or in teaching me how to behave in the world. ”
The mother was very distressed to see her daughter in such pain, and she persuaded her: "If your father were still alive and he saw you in such pain, would his heart feel better?" Do you want your father to see you like this in heaven and blame himself? ”
Finally, under the guidance of her mother and friends, Zhang also returned to her career, and lyrically borrowed songs to create her own "Father", singing all over the country.
Zhang is now 53 years old, and she is still a resident guest of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
