In 1994, Chutian Music Station broadcast room.
When the weather forecast time, a childish and crisp voice echoed over Wuhan, "Hello listeners and friends, today's temperature is 58 ° C." ”
The audience was confused, "stove" Wuhan is so hot?
And the director of the station who is supervising the trial has a black face like the bottom of a pot.
He roared a phone call to the live broadcast room, and immediately fired the announcer who had made a serious slip of the tongue after only 15 days of internship.
However, fate is sometimes so magical.
Just 4 years later, the director repented of his decision.
It was heart-wrenching that he was so blind and beadless that he gave away a pearl.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11">

This announcer who made the station director angry to the point of smoking seven tricks and making him regret his original mistake was called Li Qiong.
Yes, it is the singer who carries a small bamboo basket and uses a song "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road" to be popular all over the country.
Mention Of Li Qiong, perhaps because she often sings original ecological songs, everyone mistakenly thinks that she is a native mountain girl and an ethnic minority.
But in fact, Li Qiong was born in an artistic family in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and her father was a first-class actor of the Chu Opera Troupe.
Li Qiong, at a very young age, showed a very high artistic talent.
At the age of 3 or 4, she can sing and cry with the music of cartoons, and her feelings are extremely rich.
Determined to raise his daughter well, the father carried her on his shoulders very early, and went around in the wind and rain to learn the art.
But wherever there is a competition, push the child to the stage to hone.
On weekdays, he also came up with many small ways to train his daughter's lung capacity.
He would put a bowl of rice on the table and instruct his daughter to blow the rice to the designated position in one go.
Young Li Qiong, after blowing a bowl of rice, squatted on the ground and refused to move.
At this time, the father would roar sternly. Li Qiong had to wipe her tears and continue to puff up her cheeks and blow hard.
Her father's harshness laid a solid foundation for Li Qiong, so that she had a distinctive high-pitched and loud voice.
However, since graduating from the vocal music class of Wuhan University, Li Qiong did not go to sing, but came to Chutian Music Station to intern, because she wanted to be a music program host.
But usually confused, Li Qiong loves to be late for work, and even when broadcasting, he can make a big mistake, no wonder he provoked the station director to jump like thunder.
However, fate will always find opportunities to open a back door for those who have real ability.
Li Qiong, who was about to be expelled, participated in the military-civilian party held by the music station and the troops.
She stood on the stage and sang a song "China's Moon".
Unexpectedly, it attracted a director.
The other party immediately came to the backstage and asked Li Qiong to follow him.
He told Li Qiong that as long as you are willing to come to the army, you will be given "one dime and two cents", that is, the rank of "one bar and two stars".
Li Qiong couldn't believe her ears, the other day, she was still a hapless egg who had lost her job.
Now because of a song, I am about to become a literary and artistic female soldier, which is simply loved by God.
In fact, there are so many good luck in the sky.
It's just an old saying that it's gold, and there's always a chance to shine.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="115">
However, there is also a saying that is very true: the plan cannot keep up with the change.
When Li Qiongxing rushed to join the Wuhan Hubei Corps Cultural and Labor Corps, the rules changed.
Li Qiong no longer had a military rank, and could only hang up the cadet card and became a small soldier.
In addition to receiving physical training every day, Li Qiong also had to go to the kitchen to brush dishes.
In the winter, she slipped her hand and smashed a bunch of bowls and jingles, and the allowance was also deducted.
Li Qiong wanted to cry without tears, and suffered year after year, but she could not wait for the dry.
Li Qiong had to find the leader who promised her at the beginning, and the leader said, then you will go to the national competition and come back to give you a dry job.
Li Qiong heard the excitement, this road is not difficult for her.
In recent years, she has performed deeply at the grassroots level, sang almost all the detachments, and accumulated rich singing experience.
Soon, Li Qiong won the first place in the Wuhan Division with a song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and got the opportunity to go to Beijing to participate in the 8th CCTV National Young Singers Grand Prix.
However, Li Qiong's mentality is very peaceful, she thinks that she is not well-known, as long as she steps on the stage of CCTV, she will be satisfied.
Because of the lack of pressure, she was able to show her singing voice freely on stage.
The audience was deeply shocked.
They couldn't have imagined that this petite, collagen-faced, young girl could make a high-pitched, loud sound that shot straight into the sky.
People say that Li Qiong's first place is a matter of ironclad nails.
Because, liu tiemin, the general director of the grand prix, couldn't help but stand up and take the lead in applauding.
However, the result of the game was a big surprise, Li Qiong was not a champion, and even the top three did not enter.
The audience was so angry that they called the TV station to ask why, and there were even reports in the media that the contest had a shady scene.
Director Liu Tiemin smiled bitterly, where there is any shady scene, mainly Li Qiong's dark horse is too good, so that the judges are exhausted.
Li Qiong's singing voice is loud and pleasant, with ecological natural wildness, but there is no clear style orientation, neither like popular, nor like ethnic, nor like bel canto.
The judges feared that if Li Qiong was named the champion, it would inevitably mislead the singing style of future contestants.
The audience, though, doesn't care.
They only felt that Li Qiong had been greatly wronged, so good but could not win the award, it was simply unreasonable.
Under pressure, the program team decided to change the format and gave the grand prize to Li Qiong in the form of an extra round.
Subsequently, the program team pushed Li Qiong, who was most liked by the audience, to a larger and broader stage.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="117">
The spring festival gala stage in 1999 was particularly lively.
Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan led everyone to look forward to "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" happily, Chen Hong told us with a smile like a flower," "I want to go home often to see", and Ren Xianqi playfully pointed to "The Girl On the Other Side Looked Over".
And a girl, standing quietly on the stage, gently opened her voice:
Yo...... The descendants of the mountain.....
Love the sun, the sun that loves yo, the people in the mountains yo...
Eighteen bends in the mountain road here, nine consecutive waterways here;
The mountain songs here are lined up in pairs, the mountain songs here are strung together...
A song "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road" made Wuhan girl Li Qiong bend into the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.
The media have given super high praise, they said that among the world's bel canto female singers, there are few like Li Qiong, her voice is always three degrees higher than others, absolutely worthy of the "top golden voice".
The record company even offered millions of franchise fees, competing to give her a record.
There are also people who are ready to spend 1 million yuan to ask Li Qiong to shoot advertisements.
At that time, there were only two or three hundred thousand suites in Beijing, which shows how good Li Qiong's market response is.
However, no one can stand on the top of the mountain forever.
How warm the applause at this time is, how loud the ridicule will be in the future.
Two years later, the 9th National Young Singers Grand Prix became Li Qiong's battle of folding swords.
At that time, Li Qiong, who had already achieved fame, was not ready to participate in the competition, and she was only ordered to die because the army required her to fight for honor.
After 10 days of hasty preparation, Li Qiong stood on the stage with Li Shuangjiang's "Boatman's Trumpet".
In the past, no female singer has ever shouted a trumpet, and Li Qiong's interpretation is refreshing, the audience applauds, Li Shuangjiang praises, but it did not touch the hearts of the judges, was eliminated on the spot, and even had no chance to enter the rematch.
Later, people analyzed that Li Qiong's fiasco was due to two major mistakes.
The first appears in the opening, Zhu Xun, who has just returned from Japan as a host, to report the wrong li qiong's participating units, causing Li Qiong to be distracted and not keep up with the rhythm of the song.
Another mistake comes at the end of the song, where the director devised a dashing action for Li Qiong to throw his hat into the audience.
But Li Qiong did not grasp the strength, and directly threw her hat to the judges' seat, almost hitting them.
However, no matter how much regret, Li Qiong has become a loser in life.
All kinds of negative comments came at her, some saying that she was not worthy of the name, some saying that she could not sing at all, only shouting.
Li Qiong, who became famous at a young age, fell into the abyss, and the road ahead was gray.
She refused to go out for a month or two, did not answer other people's calls, and fell completely silent.
Because it disappeared from the audience's field of vision for too long, all kinds of speculations about Li Qiong's whereabouts were rampant.
"Going around being banned, going abroad to live in seclusion, or becoming a monk...", there are all kinds of explanations, and Li Qiong does not explain.
Until January 2020, Hunan Satellite TV's "Every Day Upward" broadcast a special episode of "Spring Festival Gala Famous Scenes", and Li Qiong, who had mature perm hair and a long coat of black and white flowers, made a rare appearance.
From her explanation, everyone knows where she has gone over the years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="119">
It turned out that Li Qiong had never been blinded by the prosperity and had never left the army.
She was an extremely simple and upright person, her mind was focused on singing, and so many record companies tried to poach her, but they did not succeed.
The temperament of a soldier has long been melted into her blood.
She said that her happiest time was when the troops ran with their comrades-in-arms.
On weekdays, she performed condolence performances at the grass-roots level in the south and north of the South China Sea, singing for her comrades-in-arms, and was affectionately known as "the lark in the army" by everyone.
In 2008, when an earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, she drove to the most affected place for the first time and sent flashlights, emergency lights, small fans, etc. to the disaster area, which won everyone's respect.
In addition to shining in the army, Li Qiong has never given up the pursuit of singing career.
In 2000, a song in the competition, "The Boatman's Trumpet", made her lose all her glory, but the song did not become a demon that trapped her.
On the contrary, she bravely sang again at the CCTV Spring Festival Song and Dance Gala the following year.
Later, she also took this song to tour Europe on behalf of China, which won a lot of praise.
When she reached middle age, Li Qiong stepped out of her comfort zone and became a teacher.
With great patience and perseverance, she spent 3 years to single-handedly build a female rock band.
She led the female soldiers to participate in special forces special training, tempered her heart, and invited top music production teachers to train music theory for team members who had no musical foundation.
She left her own stage to the female soldiers, holding them up in one hand to grow up, so that young people could show their dazzling brilliance on the stage.
Singer Wang Zhengzheng once expressed his awe to Li Qiong, a friend like a little sister.
He believes that Li Qiong's singing voice has never been seen before or since the ancients, but is pure, full of resilience, and has a particularly strong heart, which is admirable.
In this life, difficulties and setbacks coexist, and few people can go smoothly to the end.
Just like Li Qiong, she has been brilliant, silent, praised, and even more blamed.
Although nowadays, she is not brilliant in front of the stage, and her popularity is not as good as before.
But she can calmly do what she likes in a pure land and smile at life.
This is also a success.
