CCTV Spring Festival Gala is the sentiment of every Chinese.
In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala 22 years ago, there was a small girl with a small bamboo basket on her back, singing a song "Eighteen Bends of mountain road", and in one night, she was Li Qiong.
According to common sense, li Qiong, who became popular at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, shouldn't the stars be brilliant?
Why haven't we seen her at major parties all these years?
Li Qiong, born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, is a singer in the Armed Police Headquarters Literary and Labor Troupe.
Li Qiong was born in an artistic family in Wuhan, Hubei Province, her father was a first-class actor in the Chu Opera Troupe in Hubei Province, and grew up in the theater, and opera also had a subtle influence on her. The influence of the environment prompted her to embark on the path of art. Li Qiong loved to sing since she was a child, and when she was 14 years old, she was in her second year of junior high school and was admitted to the Hubei Provincial Art School with a naturally good voice.
In fact, Li Qiong has been living in the big city of Wuhan since she was a child and is the only child of her parents. At the age of three or four, he showed a talent for singing, and at the age of six or seven, he could sing on stage. She received good professional training, graduated from junior high school and was admitted to Hubei Provincial Art School to study vocal music, and after graduation, she entered the department of Chinese wuhan university for further study.
Li Qiong was specially recruited by the Hubei Armed Police Corps in 1996, and in 1998, she participated in the 8th National Young Singers Grand Prix, won a special award for a song "Three Gorges, My Hometown", and won the "Five Ones" Project Award of the Central Propaganda Department.
In 1999, he was invited to be a soloist of "Eighteen Bays on Mountain Road" at the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV, and became famous in one fell swoop.
"Eighteen Bends of Mountain Road", in fact, the original name of this song was "Son of the Sun", and later Yan Su renamed it "Eighteen Bends of Mountain Road". The lyrics are derived from the poem "Tujia Song and Road" composed by lyricist Tong Wenxi in his hometown of Changyang.
This song alone has been polished for three years.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 1999, Li Qiong received an invitation from CCTV and sang a solo song "Eighteen Bays on Mountain Road".
On the afternoon of February 3, 1999, at the press conference center on the first floor of the CCTV building, the director team of the '99 Spring Festival Gala' announced a shocking news to more than 100 media across the country: the solo song of the Spring Festival Gala was played by Li Qiong, a newcomer from Hubei.
Since the afternoon of February 6, CCTV has arranged for Li Qiong to meet with some audiences in Beijing for five consecutive times, and let Li Qiong sing "Eighteen Bends on mountain roads". Li Qiong was also very angry. Whenever she took the stage, the audience applauded within three sentences of her mouth, and people were conquered by Li Qiong's unique, high-pitched, bright and fresh tone and singing style.
As early as December 1998, the director team was determined to promote Li Qiong to the whole country, at that time, many big names in Beijing sent us many new works, and the most of them sent 8 songs. However, after listening to these songs many times, we all feel that the songs of these singers are almost not innovative. We studied it more than 10 times before finally deciding to put Li Qiong on the stage.
In 1999, at the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV, a song "Eighteen Bays on mountain road" won her the audience's favorite singer award, the best singing award, and also made her famous in one fell swoop.
This song made Li Qiong a hit, "Eighteen Bays on mountain road" was also sung all over the streets, and Li Qiong became popular all over the country in just one night and became a real first-line singer.
At that time, Li Qiong was only 22 years old.
Because of her overnight fame, in 1999, Li Qiong was transferred to the Beijing Armed Police Headquarters Literary and Labor Troupe Song Team as a soloist. At that time, she and Jiang Tao were already the pillars of the literary troupe, because of their fame, many well-known composers took the initiative to help Li Qiong write songs, in Li Qiong's words, she also had a small personal expansion at this time.
However, the next game made her fall from the peak of her life to the trough in an instant.
Only ten days before the start of the 2000 Youth Song Contest, Li Qiong received a notice to participate. At that time, the preparation was very hasty, and for ten days, she could only take Li Shuangjiang's "Boatman's Trumpet" to compete.
There was no female singer who sang the trumpet song at that time, and she was the first.
There were a lot of surprises in this competition.
First of all, the host Zhu Xun, when she reported the curtain, she mistakenly reported Li Qiong's "Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps" as the "Cultural Police Cultural and Labor Corps", Li Qiong heard and doubted whether it was herself who reported it, and she was stunned for a few seconds, disrupting the rhythm and mentality she had originally prepared.
In the end, Li Qiong originally had a small action at the end, which was to throw the hat behind her to the high camera lamp. However, the official competition was too harsh because the lights were too harsh, and the hat was directly thrown to the jury by Li Qiong.
Three accidents magically met together. Because of this, Li Qiong was even eliminated very early.
As a well-known singer, Li Qiong, who could not even enter the knockout round, her self-confidence was seriously hit.
She felt that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, and after the game, she locked herself in the house for two months, did not answer the phone and did not go out, and then lost the courage to sing on stage.
After that, Li Qiong adjusted her mentality, re-sang "Boatman's Trumpet", and also used this song to participate in the CCTV song and dance party and the central delegation tour to Europe, which won praise and was received by the leaders.
But even so, Li Qiong, who fell to the peak, could not go back.
In recent years, Li Qiong rarely appeared in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and large-scale galas, just like "disappearing", and even appeared a lot of rumors, saying that "Li Qiong was in a car accident", "Li Qiong married abroad", "Li Qiong was banned by the record company", "Li Qiong was out of the house" and so on.
Of course, these are all rumors, Li Qiong clarified in her Weibo.
Li Qiong revealed things in an interview, saying that she does not like hype, likes to do things in a low key, and she has been making music for so many years.
On the contrary, Li Qiong, who is not in the spotlight, lives freely and freely.
In 2019, in the Program of Tianjin Satellite TV's "You See Who's Coming", Li Qiong sang this song "Three Gorges, My Hometown" again, which is not only a tribute to the classic, but also a tribute to the famous director Liu Tiemin, who will be grateful for his life.
In order to "return" to the scene of the Youth Song Competition as Li Qiong said, the two hosts and director Liu Tiemin deliberately moved a stool to sit on the side to "help". Li Qiong's singing voice is as high-pitched and loud as it was then, and at the same time, she has a sense of story that has gone through the years, and when she sings in front of Director Liu, her emotions also seem to fluctuate a little, presumably there are thousands of emotions that have surged into her heart.
On Li Qiong's artistic path, Liu Dao can be described as a noble person who changed the trajectory of her life. He was the general director of the 1998 Youth Song Contest, but he "went out of the ordinary" and took the lead in applauding her on the spot; he was the general director of the 1999 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, pushing Li Qiong and "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road" to appear on the stage and became a hit; he was a predecessor who took "morality" as the first, and often taught Li Qiong the truth of how to behave in the world...
Li Qiong said that Liu Dao is the benchmark of his life, without him, he would not have achieved these achievements later. Now that I have reached the age of bringing new people, in addition to singing well and bringing happiness to the audience, I will also pass on these life insights to a new generation of singers...
Because she is a singing actor in the military engineering troupe, most of the time is with the regiment under the troops to the grassroots performance, at least more than 100 performances a year, so rarely meet publicly, and some time ago in the variety show you see who came, rarely saw Li Qiong, found that Li Qiong's state is very good.
However, Li Qiong, who is more than 40 years old, began to make a fortune, and she sentenced two people at that time, which made people almost unrecognizable, in addition, in the show, Li Qiong also revealed that she was doing a band, it seems that soon everyone can hear Li Qiong singing again, do you like Li Qiong?
Now in her 40s, she continues to sing for the troops.
When everyone has a lonely time, Li Qiong is no longer beautiful, and perhaps young friends do not know who she is, but this song "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road" will always be recorded in the annals of history, and its glory will never be surpassed.
Singer Li Qiong's recent photos were exposed, 22 years ago, the Spring Festival Gala became popular overnight, and now Fa Fu sentenced two people.
Li Qiong's face was swollen and swollen, and her figure was fat and not as agile as it was then.
The 42-year-old Li Qiong is much more blessed than before, and it is almost like two people.
After the goddess who surprised the audience at the Spring Festival Gala, it reappeared like this after 22 years, and people can't help but sigh that time has flown by.
Li Qiong does not maintain herself like those film and television artists, nor does she restrain her diet, compared with Lin Chiling, who is about 44 years old, may be slightly old, but she is the most natural state, but also the most casual and healthy state.
Li Qiong was once invited to participate in a show, but compared with when she was young, she was really different, looking very fat, and she was already a middle-aged woman. The big waist and round waist now make people more than when they were younger, lacking the aura and cuteness of the past.
Now it looks a little shabby to dress, which makes people sigh, and Li Qiong is also a little depressed.
And Li Qiong's face has also become very fat, and the apple muscles on both sides can be said to be very swollen, and it seems that it is neglected to exercise.
Li Qiong has been making music seriously, and now she often participates in grassroots performances.
Li Qiong rarely discloses her emotional status, and her feelings are low-key and unobtrusive.
Li Qiong, who is 42 years old, actually has no husband in the eyes of many people, or is single, in fact, Li Qiong posted a photo on social platforms in her early years, which is a man who looks thick and simple, and looks very compatible with Li Qiong.
And this is also one of the few photos of showing love, let people know that Li Qiong already has a husband. About this man should also be an outsider, because basically do not know the man's information and other things, Li Qiong has been very low-key about feelings.
In addition to this photo, in fact, there is almost no news that Li Qiong has a husband. Presumably, Li Qiong and her current husband are very happy, and life is also very sweet and happy, and the two raise their eyebrows in unison.
I wish Li Qiong and her husband white head and old age, eternal happiness and happiness.
