During the interview of the literary and artistic activities, the reporter recently had the honor of getting to know Chen Yanping, a Shanghai singer who has contributed to Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges. Although Teacher Chen is over sixty years old, it is not too much to evaluate the image temperament with the four words of "young and beautiful". In the activities of the Ma Li Ge Friends Association, Teacher Chen was deeply impressed by me as the backbone. Later, I learned that Teacher Chen's life experience was extraordinary, and he was an outstanding singer in Sino-Japanese literary and artistic activities, and during the Spring Festival, I came to the "Weekly Fashion" program group of the Shanghai Television Lifestyle Channel at No. 778 Baoshan Road and interviewed Teacher Chen, who was invited to work in the group.
Teacher Chen is a native of Shanghai, graduated from high school, and now lives in Taopu. It attracts attention thanks to its beautiful appearance and sweet voice. The screen name of "Yang Guifei, Lingling" is the praise of her friends for her appearance and beautiful voice like a silver bell. Teacher Chen's father likes calligraphy, his mother loves Yue opera, and the family environment of literature and art hobbies makes Teacher Chen fall in love with singing from an early age. When he was more than 10 years old, Teacher Chen performed on stage at the Shanghai Youth Palace. At the age of 24, he was admitted to the opera class of Shanghai Opera House and graduated in two years with excellent results. In 1986, Mr. Chen held a Fenghua Cup concert with complete success. The trend of reform and opening up has pushed her to stay in the mechanical and electrical enterprises without pay, and embarked on the road of finding opportunities to sing for her own career. Because Teacher Chen's singing is quite popular in the market, she has a desire to go abroad for development. In September 1988, she went abroad at her own expense, went to Tokyo, Japan, and stayed in Japan for 30 years, combining performances and restaurants, starting a family and having a third generation, with this unforgettable life experience. Now that the youngsters no longer have to worry about her, it can be said that they are full of blessings. As a "Chinese singer in Japan", many years of performances have made Mr. Chen, who has always retained his Chinese nationality, highly praised in Japan. The overseas Chinese circles in Japan admired Teacher Chen's virtue and art, which made her shoulder the burden of the director of the Japanese Overseas Chinese Federation of Trade Unions. In 2010, Mr. Chen participated in the karaoke contest held in Tokyo, and as the only Chinese actor to win the Excellence Award, Mr. Chen won the glory of Chinese. On January 5, 2013, Teacher Chen was also invited to participate in the first Spring Festival Gala of Japanese Chinese and overseas Chinese, which was well received by relevant Japanese leaders. In the Kanto regional song contest held by The Japanese Record Company, Mr. Chen also won the Excellence Award.
Teacher Chen emotionally told reporters, "Although there are many advantages in Japanese life, I love my motherland even more, and the fallen leaves always have to come to the root!" In 2014, the 55-year-old teacher Chen left his family in Japan with a patriotic heart and returned to his home country. Teacher Chen said, "There is a comparison to identify. For many years in Japan, I have participated in no less than a thousand performances. Despite the praise from the audience, it always feels different from performing in your own country. Performing in the motherland, I have performed in Xi'an and Chengdu in the interior, Changchun and Harbin in the northeast, and as far as Inner Mongolia. Every time I walked with dozens of people, I went as a special invited actor of Shanghai Ballet, Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe, Shanghai Film Orchestra, Shanghai Children's Art Institute, Shanghai Orchestra, etc., to learn from each other, which was really enjoyable and harmonious. China, after all, is its own home! On June 3, 2017, at the Huangpu Theater in Shanghai, Teacher Chen held a solo concert with the support of his newly formed family in China, and the whole audience was full of 520 people, and Teacher Chen sang nearly 20 moving songs and newly learned Shanghai opera after returning to China with the passion of returning overseas Chinese. Won the first prize, Xinmin Evening News and other media have made timely reports. Referring to Teacher Chen's return to China to study Shanghai opera, Teacher Chen said that this is thanks to the careful teaching of his uncle who likes Shanghai opera. Shanghai opera is a well-known traditional drama in Shanghai, which makes Teacher Chen particularly like it after returning to Shanghai after a long absence from the motherland. Under the careful study of Teacher Chen, the Shanghai opera singing sections "Golden Bird, Ask Uncle, Reed Sanatorium", which are popular among the people of Shanghai, come from Teacher Chen's beautiful voice, and each performance makes the audience applaud continuously. In 2018, Shanghai Traffic Radio held a "Shanghai Sister" singing competition, Teacher Chen was warmly invited by the organizers, she sang a beautiful song "Roga on the Heart" on stage, was selected for the final, and won the third place.
Nearly half a century of literary and artistic performances have made Teacher Chen, who can understand the true feelings, cherish the friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples. In 2015, after returning to China, Mr. Chen was invited to return to Japan and participated in a solo concert held in Jiuzhou. The reporter asked Teacher Chen to talk about the relationship between hard work and maintaining a healthy and good mental state. Teacher Chen said: "As an actor, it is important to have a good attitude. Over the years, although there have been many invitations for hundreds of yuan a labor fee, Teacher Chen is willing to make contributions in order to give public welfare performances to nursing homes and charitable units. In the Year of the Tiger, the reporter hopes that there are more units that need Teacher Chen's performance, and can strengthen contact with Teacher Chen, let Teacher Chen sing talents, and bring more people health and joy!
