The role of Xi'er in "White Haired Girl" is the most unforgettable image in the minds of countless Chinese people.
This, of course, is thanks to her shaper, Wang Kun, a pioneer known as the pioneer of the Chinese music scene and Taishan.
Her performance conquered the national leaders Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, and could not help but praise her one after another, while Cui Jian, a rock singer in the mainland music scene, said bluntly that she had the feeling of a mother.
What kind of charm does Wang Kun have, and what kind of wonderful is it in her human growth river?
In 1925, Wang Kun was born into an ordinary rural family in Tang County, Hebei Province.
Although his parents were farmers who had never been far away, they were particularly open-minded and extremely fond of this daughter, and had no idea of preferring sons to daughters.
In 1930, his parents saved enough money to help Wang Kun pay the tuition, so that the 5-year-old Wang Kun became a primary school student.
Wang Kun's grades in various subjects were excellent, the most prominent of which were language and music.
She loves the beautiful words in chinese texts and the healing power of music.
In 1938, in that special era, many enthusiastic young people like Wang Kun emerged, who were eager to use their own strength to make more Chinese people full of passion.
Wang Kun became a primary school music teacher, using the advantages of her voice to bring patriotic songs to everyone and teach everyone to sing with her.
In 1939, Wang Kun joined the Northwest Field Service Corps and embarked on the road of literature and art.
The leader of the service group is named Zhou Weizhi, who is also an avid music lover.
Talented, he has long been famous in the music industry, which seems to be doomed to an unusual fate with Wang Kun.
Zhou Weizhi is 8 years older than Wang Kun, and every time Wang Kun asked him for advice, he showed special patience.
This made Wang Kun naturally have a good feeling for him, plus both of them like music, and there are always endless topics to talk about together, and gradually the two hearts come together.
However, although Lang has the intention of having concubines, they do not open the window to say bright words, but with love for each other, they continue to devote themselves to their respective careers.
In 1943, Wang Kun, who had just turned 18, took the initiative to confess to Zhou Weizhi, and finally brought the relationship between the two closer.
With further interaction, they settled for life and became husband and wife at the end of the same year.
When people in that era got married, the most important thing was the relationship itself.
So even though they have nothing, their hearts are filled with excitement and joy, and they are deeply immersed in happiness.
After marriage, Wang Kun was transferred from the service group to the Luyi Work Group, where her acting skills were further improved, and she stepped towards the peak of her career step by step.
In 1945, in the opera "The White-Haired Girl", she played the role of Xi'er.
This was a hard-won opportunity, because the original heroine suddenly became pregnant, so Wang Kun stepped up as a substitute.
But it is this temporary replacement of actors that makes people's eyes shine.
Her performance on stage is perfect, especially her outstanding voice, which fully interprets the role of the white-haired woman.
In today's words, Wang Kun has instantly become the top stream, and his natural work has become more and more busy.
Even after the birth of her two sons, she did not give up her career, but hired her mother to take care of the children, and she continued to work hard to move forward.
After entering the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, the burden on Wang Kun became heavier and heavier.
Not only is he a soloist, but he is also the director of the art committee, who does everything himself and contributes many wonderful works to everyone.
But from 1966 onwards, Wang Kun's career suddenly came to a standstill, and there was no movement for a full 10 years.
This was related to the special era background at that time, wang Kun alone could not change at all, only silently accepted.
Fortunately, in 1977, everything got better, Wang Kun returned to his old business, and continued to perform with the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, while also excavating and cultivating many excellent reserve actors.
In 1984, Wang Kun, who was already the head of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, met Guo Rong's father and daughter who came to the door.
Guo Rong's father has long admired Wang Kun's great name and hopes that his daughter can follow her.
Looking at the poor child of the family, Wang Kun promised to give her a chance to try.
After the audition of two songs, including "Snow in the North", she accepted this child who could sing, play the violin, and was quite talented in art.
Guo Rong is a girl who grew up in the south, 13 years old when she first arrived in Beijing, she was not familiar with life, it was Wang Kun who took her to her home for the New Year, wrapped dumplings for her to eat, so that she had a sense of home.
In the cold winter, Guo Rong often shivered with cold because she did not have much clothes to bring.
After Wang Kun saw the situation, he specially changed a pair of beautiful small leather pants for her, which made Guo Rong feel a warmth in her heart.
In 1985, the mainland rock circle produced a young man named Cui Jian.
It was just that his singing style was different at that time, and many people thought that he could not ascend to the stage of Elegance.
But Wang Kun admired him very much, and she insisted on inviting him to the 100 Singers Concert despite the pressure of the outside world.
On the stage, he wore strange costumes and sang strange songs, which made the leaders in the audience shake their heads frequently, and some even left the table in anger, not forgetting to roar at Wang Kun and ask her what she was doing.
Of course, Wang Kun knows what she is doing, she just wants to give every young person who likes music a chance to dare to step onto the big stage.
So even if the leader was not happy, she still let Cui Jian complete his performance.
However, although many students have been trained, Wang Kun has little time to accompany his children, which will inevitably make children complain.
In 1998, Wang Kun's 60th year of performing arts, she held a concert to commemorate this meaningful moment.
I just didn't expect that her eldest son, Zhou July, wrote down his complaints about his mother in "Looking at His Mother from the Side Curtain".
In his mind, his mother is incompetent, has no family concept, and only has work in his heart...
At that moment, Wang Kun's heart suddenly felt very sad, indeed for so many years, she owed too much to her son.
She began to try to make amends, but the sons did not seem to accept her and still complained about her.
In contrast, her husband is very understanding of her, not only taking the initiative to take care of the family's big and small affairs, but also giving Wang Kun advice and suggestions at work, becoming the best partner in her life and career.
In 2009, 92-year-old Zhou Weizhi, all the functions of his body are declining, especially after a pneumonia, his body is not as good as before.
In 2011, at the age of 86, Wang Kun began to rely on a wheelchair to live.
At that time, for the first time, she felt exhausted, she and her wife needed to be taken care of, and her sons and grandchildren also had to consider, and she was physically and mentally exhausted for a while.
In September 2014, Zhou Weizhi's life came to an end at the age of 98.
The blow to Wang Kun is very big, she always has the figure of her husband in her mind, and she misses her husband all the time.
Two months later, Wang Kun suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was unconscious, and after being rescued in the hospital for more than ten days, he finally passed away.
Before she left, the two sons finally confided in themselves, and they had already forgiven their mother.
Wang Kun's heart knot was also untied.
Wang Kun, 89, did not wait for the concert he had planned to hold in December, which made many people regret it.
But everyone will always remember her contribution to mainland music, and will remember her sparing no effort to cultivate future generations and cultivate a large number of outstanding talents.
It is worth mentioning that wang kun did not even hold a memorial service after his death.
Before she died, she let her family's funeral everything from Jane.
In 2019, in the list of "the most beautiful strivers", Wang Kun's name is impressive.
This is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of her life's work, if it is not the most successful person in the industry field, it is impossible to get this honor.
This old man who has dedicated his life to music will always be an old artist worthy of everyone's respect.
Whenever her name is, we will remember it.
