In 2006, Li Yugang on the stage of the "Avenue of Stars" with a song "New Noble Concubine Drunk", instantly entered everyone's field of vision, and became a household name.
It was on the basis of traditional opera that he innovated and created his own unique performance form, coupled with his high-pitched, sweet and melodious singing voice, which made his career reach its peak.
Subsequently, when he performed, not only did he get everyone's love, but someone also pulled out a banner that read, "Before there was Mei Lanfang, then there was Li Yugang", making him a person who could be compared with mei Lanfang, the master of "Mei Pai".
However, this also angered Mei Baojiu, Mei Lanfang's son, and he thought that Li Yugang would realize that he was wrong, but at that time, he did not make any explanation for this, so that Mei Baojiu was not only angry, but also did not forgive him until death.
So, is it just because of this sentence that there is a gap between the two of them? What the hell happened between them?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > jumped red</h1>
For Li Yugang, the first half of his life can be described as ups and downs.
Born on July 23, 1978, due to the poverty of his family since childhood, when he was 18 years old, he had no choice but to give up the major of literary and art editing and directing at the Jilin Provincial Academy of Arts and turned to the road of part-time work.
Subsequently, in order to make his relatives have a better life, he would go out and sing every day in addition to work, although he was tired every day, but he was full of hope for the future.
Until one time, in the process of performing, he found his own highlights, and his life changed.
It turned out that in a performance, because the female singer did not come, he took a different path and sang a song "For Whom" with male and female voices, which was his solid foundation and different male and female voices, which not only got everyone's love, but also walked out of his own unique artistic path.
Subsequently, he went farther and farther on this road, and also participated in some competitions, which made him a little famous, until he participated in the "Walk of Fame", he organically integrated traditional opera with folk songs and dances, bringing different visual and auditory impacts to everyone, making him truly popular all over the country.
At this time, he achieved such an achievement, and began to be overcome by joy over reason, a little drifting.
Finally, some people compared him with Mei Lanfang, the master of Peking Opera, as if he were on an equal footing, and Li Yugang was also proud.
However, Mei Baojiu, the son of Mei Lanfang, does not think so, he believes that this is a kind of inheritance, it is to be polished with a lifetime, it is more rigorous, and someone has said such a thing before, he did not say much, but now he actually pulls out a banner in the place of performance, which is a kind of child's play.
However, Li Yugang himself failed to recognize his own fault, which made him very angry.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > not forgive until death</h1>
For Mei Baojiu, he did not want to inherit Mei Lanfang's mantle to learn Peking Opera before, although he did not want to learn, but since he was a child, he also performed with Mei Lanfang, so he also developed a feeling of admiration for Peking Opera.
It was not until August 8, 1961, when his father Mei Lanfang died, that he discovered a problem, that is, his father's mantle was not inherited, and in order to let his parents' mantle be passed on, he took on the responsibility.
Subsequently, he began to study hard, and after decades, he used his ability and strength to be affirmed by everyone and became a master of Peking Opera.
And his wish is to pass on and develop Peking Opera, for him, this is his unshirkable thing, in order to better inherit, he dedicated his life to this cause, so that he did not leave offspring in his life.
It is based on this feeling that he is deeply angry at the sentence "Before there was Mei Lanfang, then there was Li Yugang".
I thought that Li Yugang would reflect on himself, but Li Yugang did not wake up, so much so that at the CCTV evening, he once said: "I represent the profound meipai art..."
For Mei Baojiu, Mei Baojiu, who was present at the time, left the scene in anger, for Mei Baojiu, Meipai art is the innovation and inheritance of traditional Chinese opera, even he himself does not dare to call himself so, what qualifications does Li Yugang have?
Afterwards, Li Yu just learned of his mistake, so he went to the artist Wang Kun to let him explain it, but three times in a row failed.
In the end, Wang Kun said that only if he personally went to solve it, and Li Yugang did not know how to face it, so he gave up and said that he would do his own job.
On April 25, 2016, Mei Baojiu left, and this matter was not resolved, so he did not forgive Li Yugang until his death, and this became a regret in Li Yugang's life.
For Li Yugang, he just added modern elements to the traditional opera, although there are some innovations, but the essence is still there, which is also a kind of inheritance and development.
However, for Mei Baojiu, this is a kind of inheritance, but also the painstaking efforts of countless people in the past, who pay attention to art, but also a kind of respect for art.
And the gap between the two is born from this, so it will lead to Mei Baojiu's death and not forgive Li Yugang, no matter what, this art has been inherited and developed.
