Xu Peidong was born in 1954 in Dalian, Liaoning Province, in the village of Xiaotuo (kuǎng) in Zhongqiao Town, Qixia City, Shandong Province. His parents were ordinary workers at the Dalian Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory.
Xu Peidong and his friend Ju Jianfu
Shortly after Xu Peidong was born, his parents were busy with work and sent him back to Qixia's rural hometown to be taken care of by his grandparents.
In an interview, Xu Peidong said that he spent his childhood in Qixia and that his parents did not take him back to Dalian until he was in elementary school.
No one in the three generations of Xu Peidong's ancestors engaged in literature and art, but he was unique. He became fascinated with poetry, painting, and eventually music from an early age.
In 1966, the special era began, the school often did not attend classes, Xu Peidong began to teach himself erhu, allegro, timpani drums, and later became obsessed with playing the cello.
The school propaganda team had a cello-playing classmate go to the countryside, and the teacher let Xu Peidong top the shortage. At that time, he had not yet learned cello, so he asked a cello teacher of the Dalian Song and Dance Troupe for advice.
The other party lent him all the teaching materials at home, and when he returned home, Xu Peidong took a ruler, drew a stave on the paper, and then copied one note at a time.
Because of his outstanding talent, coupled with the teacher's guidance and self-study, Xu Peidong has made rapid progress. When the school rehearsed the symphony "Sha Jiabang", he was the youngest musician.
When he pulled the second movement, "Chaoxia", and the last movement, "Sweeping", the most difficult parts he could complete independently. At that time, Xu Peidong did not go home, he lived on the clay kang in the backstage of the theater, practicing until eleven or two o'clock every night.
During the rehearsal, Xu Peidong also corrected mistakes for others. Someone played the flute wrong, and even the conductor did not hear it, Xu Peidong could immediately recognize that his musical talent amazed the students.
In 1970, the Fuzhou Military Region's Forward Literary and Labor Corps came to Dalian to recruit literary and artistic soldiers, and 16-year-old Xu Peidong was conscripted into the army. It was summer, and after Xu Peidong, who grew up in the north, came to the humid and hot south, his whole body was full of prickly heat, and he was itchy.

He poured boiling water on a towel and covered his chest while it was hot. At first, there was a comfortable feeling, but at night, the chest was red and swollen, and yellow water flowed out.
Xu Peidong just went to the health center to get a little medicine, and continued to follow his comrades-in-arms the next day. The leader did not expect that the city soldiers could endure hardships so much, and especially admired him.
Therefore, Xu Peidong was the first of those new soldiers to join the regiment and join the party, and later he awarded meritorious awards many times. During this period, Xu Peidong taught himself to compose music, and tried to compose some songs, which were accompanied by music and arranged into suites.
In 1976, the Central Conservatory of Music enrolled students nationwide, and the whole army gave the only enrollment quota to the Fuzhou Military Region.
After a comprehensive evaluation, the leader felt that Xu Peidong performed well and was a rare musical talent, so he gave this valuable quota to Xu Peidong. Therefore, Xu Peidong left the Fuzhou Military Region and came to the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing for further study.

Xu Peidong's mentor Du Mingxin
In the school, du mingxin has very strict requirements for Xu Peidong, because the curriculum is too tight, sometimes Xu Peidong misses a class, and he has to find Teacher Du to make up for it.
When Xu Peidong was about to graduate from college, he was arranged by the school to intern at the China Opera and Dance Theater. Here, he met Cui Jing. Born in Beijing in 1961, Cui Jing is seven years younger than Xu Peidong and her parents are senior teachers at key middle schools.
Cui Jinggang was 19 years old at the time, a yangqin player at the China Opera and Dance Theatre, and an accompanist for the famous singer Guo Lanying, who had just returned.
Cui Jing is tall and beautiful, with an elegant temperament; Xu Peidong is thick and simple, talented, and the two leave a good impression on each other.
However, because the acquaintance time is too short, and the future variables are too large, the two will bury their feelings deep in their hearts, and neither of them has confessed.
Xu Peidong and Cui Jing
After the internship ended a month later, Xu Peidong felt lost in his heart: from now on, he would never see Cui Jing again in this life. And Cui Jing's heart was also very lost.
After graduating from university in 1980, Xu Peidong returned to the Forward Literary and Labor Corps of the Fujian Military Region.
Soon he was seconded to Beijing by the Ministry of Culture to rehearse the large-scale dance drama "Baolian Lantern" for the Chinese Opera and Dance Theater, and Xu Peidong's job was to arrange the general score of folk music and serve as a conductor.
Cui Jing is a folk music player of "Baolian Lantern" and practices every day under the direction of Xu Peidong. In the process of working together, the feelings of the two people became deeper and deeper.
After the work ended 3 months later, on the eve of Xu Peidong's return to Fuzhou, he made an appointment with Cui Jing and bravely courted her. Cui Jing has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and generously accepts Xu Peidong's feelings.
After returning to Fuzhou, Xu Peidong would write to Cui Jing every week, and Cui Jing also replied in time. Couples who are separated from each other in the letter talk about their work and life, as well as their thoughts about each other and their imagination of the future.

At that time, the opposite sex expressed his good feelings to Xu Peidong, and he politely refused. The other party did not understand, and felt that Xu Peidong and Cui Jing were so far apart that they would not last long. There is no shortage of suitors around Cui Jing, but she clearly tells the other party that she has a boyfriend.
Some people do not understand: So many excellent young men in Beijing Cui Jing are not looking for it, why should they find someone far away in Fuzhou?
In July 1981, Cui Jing accompanied the troupe to Dalian to perform, Xu Peidong proposed to marry her in Dalian on the phone, and Cui Jing agreed.
At that time, Xu Peidong's household registration was in Fuzhou, and he asked Cui Jing to go over and get a marriage license. But there are performances in the troupe every day, and Cui Jing can't leave.
How does a person get a license? How can I get married without a license? The 27-year-old Xu Peidong was distraught and in a hurry, he came up with an idea, that is, to borrow his colleague's wife to impersonate Cui Jing and accompany him to get a marriage license.
At that time, the marriage certificate did not have a photo on it and would not show the filling. So Xu Peidong asked the instructor's wife to impersonate Cui Jing, and at first the other party agreed, but then felt inappropriate and temporarily changed his mind.
This can make Xu Peidong anxious, because his parents have prepared a wedding for him in his hometown in Dalian, and issued an invitation, and Xu Peidong also asked for marriage leave from the unit. Just when Xu Peidong was overwhelmed, he had a colleague's newlywed wife who came to visit his family in the group.
Xu Peidong told his comrades-in-arms about his troubles, and they were willing to help. So Xu Peidong borrowed his colleague's wife and successfully obtained a marriage license.

After the news spread, many people said that Xu Peidong and Cui Jing would not live long, and some also said that their marriage was so sloppy, and Cui Jing lost money. But people who really love each other do not pay attention to pomp and circumstance.
After marriage, Xu Peidong has been separated from his wife, and they can only see each other once or twice a year, but the couple's relationship has always been very good.
In 1984, Xu Peidong was 30 years old and desperate to be a father, but Cui Jing did not dare to give birth. If she has a child and her husband is far away in Fuzhou, how can she take care of it?
However, in November of that year, Cui Jing found out that she was pregnant and did not know what to do. Xu Peidong said: "Since the baby came to us, let's give birth." Xu Peidong struggled to be transferred to Beijing and ended his separation from his wife.
After the Spring Festival in 1985, Xu Peidong was transferred from the Fuzhou Military Region, and it happened that he was a key person in the China Opera and Dance Theater.
When Xu Peidong came to Beijing from Fuzhou, he brought only a box containing hundreds of letters he and his wife had written, which was a testimony to their unwavering love.
Xu Peidong was transferred to Beijing and liked to be a father. In July 1985, Cui Jing gave birth to her daughter Xu Sing in Beijing.
Xu Sing inherited the excellent genes of her parents, and when she was 3 years old, Xu Peidong taught her piano and dance, and her daughter showed great interest.
Xu sings the album
In 1989, when his daughter was just 4 years old, Xu Peidong created a personal music album for his daughter, "Songs Sung by Xu - Little Beijingers". Xu Sing thus became the youngest child star in the music world.
Subsequently, Xu Peidong specially composed a song for his daughter, called "Planting the Sun", which was popular among the population and had a high degree of singing.
Cui Jing's thinking has changed completely since she became a mother, before she was very enterprising, now she just wants to take care of her daughter, take care of the family, and make her husband's career good.
Since the 1990s, Cui Jing has given up many career opportunities to take care of her family, daughters, and support her husband's career.
Fan Linlin sang "My Hometown of Love"
With the support of his wife, Xu Peidong has successively created a series of popular classic songs such as "The Hometown of My Love", "The Shadow of the Fence Wall", "Bittersweet Years", "Asian Majestic Wind", "Fate Is Not a Reed", "Hot Girl", "Love Me China", "Earth Flying Song" and so on, becoming a well-known composer.
At the same time, he also composed music for more than 60 film and television dramas such as Fences, Women and Dogs, PeaceTime, and Yongzheng Dynasty.
From the late 1980s to the present, Xu Peidong has always had a high popularity, and wherever he goes, he is greeted by flowers and applause.
Compared with such a heavyweight composer husband, Cui Jing seems a bit ordinary. Xu Peidong is very low-key, never talks about his marriage in the media, everyone knows nothing about his other half, and they are also curious.
In 2009, some netizens found out about Cui Jing's situation and made an introduction on the Internet. Many netizens sent their blessings, but there were also a few netizens who said that the two were not matched, and the marriage would not last long, and analyzed the reasons for it.

In July 2010, on the 29th anniversary of Xu Peidong and Cui Jing's marriage, the couple watched a movie outside. After returning home, Cui Jing tempted her husband: "Now I am an ordinary housewife, and I will not blame you for any decision you make in the future." ”
Xu Peidong heard his wife's voice and said emotionally: "We have gone through many difficult years, and this feeling is not comparable to ordinary people." We are each other's first love, and I will stay with you until I am old. ”
