The most recent time I met the famous singer Song Zuying was when she attended a wedding dinner for a couple.
Song Zuying in a photo with the newcomer. The short reddish-brown hair, the whole face, is rounded, wears a colored silk scarf around the neck, wears a coffee-colored trench coat, and the whole person looks low-key and simple.
Standing on the side of the bride, there is no star shelf at all, like an ordinary elder, or more like a confidant sister.
Pinching her fingers, this should be one of the few appearances she has made since the end of the Spring Festival Gala in 2013.
1. Miaozhai girls go to Beijing
In 1966, a baby girl was born in an ordinary family in Laozhai Village, Xiangxi, and the elders named her Song Zuying.
Below Song Zuying, there is also a younger sister and a younger brother who is born deaf and dumb.
Even if she had to raise three babies, Song Zuying's mother never wavered in the idea of sending her to school, and her mother often said to Song Zuying: "Only by studying, there is a way out." ”
Song Zuying, who engraved this sentence in his heart, did not wait for the rooster to sound every day, so he took the books early and went to school.
Because the family had no money to buy her shoes, she stepped barefoot in the soil, river, and wheat fields every day, feeling the breath of nature, so that this Miao family girl with her own singing genes could not help but sing mountain songs.
Her voice, transparent, like a lark.
Ben thought that although life was hard, it was always good to be together as a family.
Unfortunately, when Song Zuying was 12 years old, his father died of illness.
Suddenly, the burden of family life fell on Song Zuying's mother and Song Zuying.
Song Zuying once told her mother that she wanted to take a break from school to take care of her brother and sister at home and help her mother share the heavy work.
Her mother refused, she always believed that no matter how tired she was, it was the duty of motherhood, and she could not let the child bear the hardships of life prematurely, and the only way to get out of the mountain village was to continue to learn.
In 1981, the Guzhang County Opera Troupe recruited new actors, and Song Zuying went to register under the recommendation of his teacher.
With a natural and unique voice, Song Zuying became a student of the opera troupe.
And it is from here that Song Zuying seems to be favored by heaven, and his life has been green all the way.
Although professionally speaking, Song Zuying can be said to be "strong in martial arts, but has not been opened to the second vein of ren dou", under the careful guidance of the opera troupe teacher, Song Zuying passed the examination with full scores and became a full actor of the opera troupe.
Song Zuying and her mother hugged and cried.
In order to keep this iron rice bowl, Song Zuying worked very hard, memorizing the lines and processes well before each performance.
Continuous efforts will eventually open the door to luck in life.
Once the troupe went to the countryside to perform, the protagonist accidentally fell ill, and Song Zuying, who usually performed very prominently, was arranged to temporarily top it.
Later, the troupe gave her the opportunity to perform "A Hundred Birds with Blood", which won the "Silver Award of the National Ethnic Minority Script Award" that year.
Later, Song Zuying, with his excellent singing voice and rigorous and serious work attitude, rose step by step and achieved self-leaps.
Subsequently, she was successfully admitted to the Central Institute for Nationalities, and this Miaozhai girl, with her musical dreams, came to Beijing in this way.
2. Strive to create a "open and hanging" life
Song Zuying, who came to Beijing, studied hard in school and practiced diligently, and frequently participated in performances outside to exercise his on-the-spot ability.
In 1990, in the fourth season of the Youth Song Competition, Song Zuying won the bronze medal with a song "The Most Songs of Miao Mountain Today".
Subsequently, Qiong Yao saw this pure little girl and warmly invited her to make a cameo appearance in a role in "Wan Jun".
Moreover, the singing quota of the interlude "Little Back Basket" was also given to Song Zuying.
And this song "Little Back Basket" made the audience at that time remember such a little girl with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful song.
It was also this interlude that made Huang Yihe, the director of the Spring Festival Gala at the time, find her and invite her to sing "Little Back Basket" at the Spring Festival Gala.
Under the attention of the people of the whole country, 24-year-old Song Zuying stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and began her "open and hanging" life.
After that, Song Zuying sang on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for 24 consecutive years, becoming the "most cattle nail household" of the Spring Festival Gala.
At that time, many viewers would say before the Spring Festival Gala began, "I don't know what song Song Zuying wants to sing today?" ”
Song Zuying's performance of "Hot Girl", "Good Day", "Jasmine"... And other Chinese music with great Chinese cultural characteristics, such as the fire of the fire, has spread all over the world.
In 2003, Song Zuying gave a concert in the Golden Vienna Hall.
In 2006, Song Zuying gave a solo concert at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
He won the Kennedy Art Gold Medal, and Song Zuying was the only Asian artist to win the award.
Standing at the peak, in the face of many flashes and fame and materialism after becoming famous, she still chose not to forget her original intention.
Before her debut, she came out of the mountains, and when she was popular, she chose to return to the mountains many times to help comfort the poor students in the mountains.
She is using her own strength to help poor students pick up books again, giving them a chance to change their fate with knowledge.
In her free time, she did not forget to study, and at the age of 43, she was admitted to the doctoral program of ethnic vocal music.
She is also using knowledge to change the fate of folk songs, using her own light and enthusiasm to make folk songs go to the world stage.
In the minds of most people, Song Zuying is equal to folk songs, and folk songs are equal to Song Zuying. And her wonderful career can be called an inspirational drama.
She is indeed a well-deserved people's artist.
As the media people put it: "Song Zuying did not cater to vulgarity to the media, nor did he use gossip to create magic." She adheres to the ethics and social responsibility of an artist, and wins the respect of the world with high-quality, high-grade art. ”
3. "To the Oak" type of love
Meet noble people to establish a career, meet good people to start a family.
A man named Luo Hao entered her life.
It was in a youth song contest, Song Zuying had just finished singing a song and got off the stage to rest, Luo Hao came over, smiled and said, "You sing really well." ”
In this way, the two young people got to know each other, and in the later interaction, they even had feelings.
During this period, Luo Hao even took the initiative to introduce Song Zuying to Jin Tielin.
Who is Jin Tielin? At that time, the dean of the China Conservatory of Music, and also the "nobleman" of Song Zuying later, he let Song Zuying receive a more professional vocal education, and many mentioned Song Zuying on the road of life, which pointed out the direction and path for her.
And Luo Hao's recommendation move made Song Zuying even more moved.
Later, the two were separated from each other, but the love was not blocked by the mountains and rivers.
The two men communicated with each other, the paper was short and long, and after each letter, Song Zuying carefully put it back into the envelope and collected it.
One day, Luo Hao expressed in his letter that he wanted to marry Song Zuying.
But at this time, Song Zuying hesitated, because her and Luo Hao's family could be said to be wrong.
She thought about it for a night, and finally wrote: "My father has long been gone from us, there is an old mother in my family who needs to be taken care of, and there is a sister, a deaf and mute brother, the conditions at home are not good, I hope you think clearly." ”
When Song Zuying sent this letter, she had already given herself a preventive injection in her heart, and she could accept the worst results.
However, what awaited was not the worst result that Song Zuying had predicted in his heart.
It was Luo Hao himself.
He personally came to Beijing, appeared in front of Song Zuying, and said sincerely: "I am willing to treat your family as my relatives, I will not mind everything in your family, and I will take care of your brother with you." ”
Song Zuying's eyes turned red with emotion on the spot, and she choked up and said, "Good." ”
In 1992, it was a bright spring day, and the two officially entered the palace of marriage.
Although the two after marriage, they still gather less and leave more.
But the two people who have long been accustomed to this mode of getting along will not mind.
On the contrary, because the time together is too short, whenever the two are reunited, they will cherish the time.
In 2005, Song Zuying gave birth to the crystallization of love, a son.
This made both men happy.
But there is also a problem, both have careers, so who takes care of the children?
At this time, Luo Hao took the initiative to take a back seat, when Song Zuying's "green leaves" were the umbrella of the family, so that Song Zuying could go busy with his career, and through his own connections, Song Zuying got acquainted with a lot of high-quality resources.
Song Zuying is working as a judge, releasing albums, and touring concerts.
Luo Hao cooked soup at home and waited for Song Zuying to come home.
Luo Hao really loved Song Zuying, and Song Zuying was also very dependent on and respectful of Luo Hao, and as long as there was a problem, he would ask Luo Hao's opinion at the first time.
There was a time when Song Zuying went to a place far away from home to record, and at that time, he had not yet bought a car, and Luo Hao went to pick her up every day.
Their marriage, which has lasted for more than thirty years now, is still so pure, without impurities, and without the so-called chicken feathers.
Because good love and marriage are mutual respect, mutual dependence, and mutual achievement.
As Described in Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree".
Become a big tree standing next to you and share the rain and frost.
It is as if they are separated forever, but they are dependent on each other for life.
4, return to the ordinary
In 2014, Song Zuying sang a song on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and bowed deeply to the audience under the stage and the audience in front of the TV.
Since then, there has been no appearance of this "most cattle nail household" on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
She shifted her focus to the backstage, focusing on nurturing a new generation of students.
Spend time with your son and husband.
Some people say that she has both strength and luck, but she laughs and credits everything to her happy family.
She said that it is the family who loves the strength and supports her step by step to the present.
And Song Zuying also seems to understand that everything will eventually return to the ordinary.
Fading the aura of the stage, 56-year-old Song Zuying decided to return herself to ordinary people.
As she herself said: "When she walks off the glamorous stage, she is the simple children of her parents, the virtuous wife of her husband, the good mother who is responsible for her children, and the ordinary laborer who shares weal and woe with the masses of the people!" ”
Be a good wife for others, be a good mother for her children.
Lu Yao has this sentence:
"Everything in the world is extraordinary, and in the end it must return to the ordinary, and its value must be measured by ordinary life."
epilogue
Song Zuying, who bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala, today's life is still the original intention, the years continue to pass, but she has never been afraid of the appearance of aging, she is calm and calm, she lives in her own time, follow the steps, not impatient, live brilliantly.
And we should also learn from Song Zuying, born as brilliant as a summer flower, when returning to tranquility, can still turn into a begonia, so that the past regretless youth into the boundless field.
