The descendants of the mountain, love the sun
This song "Eighteen Bends of mountain road" was once a popular Spring Festival Gala song,
The small girl with a round face, Li Qiong, also became popular with this song.
This song has been covered many times since then, but no one can surpass Li Qiong's original song,
Her clear and high-pitched voice, like a natural sound,
However, Li Qiong seems to have disappeared since the Spring Festival Gala, where has she been all these years?
In 1976, Li Qiong was born in an artistic family in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
His father, Li Zuxun, is a well-known Chu opera actor and an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.
When she was a child, Li Qiong grew up on her father's shoulders.
She often goes to the show with her father, and the stage is the place she knows best.
Since childhood, Li Qiong has also shown outstanding musical talent,
Her voice was clear and high, and the father soon discovered his daughter's talent.
Taking her to practice every day laid a solid foundation for her musical path.
But Li Qiong does not like Chu opera, she prefers popular songs,
Frequent cover of Teresa Teng's songs.
In order to exercise her, her father often encouraged her to participate in school theatrical performances.
And took her to participate in large and small competitions, so that she practiced a good typhoon at a young age.
And Li Qiong is relatively small, looking smaller than children of the same age,
Offstage is also a very nervous and introverted little girl,
The general agent is glued to his father's side, but as soon as he comes to power, the aura is fully open,
Every high pitch will win the applause of the audience.
At the age of 14, Li Qiong was admitted to art school at the suggestion of her father.
After graduation, he entered the Vocal Music Department of Wuhan University for further study.
When I was at Wuhan University, it was popular to listen to music broadcasts.
Chutian Music Station is the most popular music channel in Hubei Province,
The host is called Zhang Chi, and listening to his radio every day is the favorite thing for the dormitory sisters.
Fortunately, when Li Qiong was about to graduate, Chutian Music Station came to Wuhan University to recruit a host.
And Zhang Chi happens to be one of the interviewers.
Li Qiong, with the mood of seeing an idol, hurried to sign up,
The result is good musical literacy and good sound conditions,
He was successfully admitted as a host and became a colleague with Zhang Chi.
But Li Qiong, the host, was taken down not long after,
Mainly because she is too confused and always makes mistakes.
Li Qiong herself loves to be late, and the work of the TV station is very tense.
Not only do you have to live on time, but you also have to write three thousand words of manuscripts every day.
Li Qiong, who has just joined the work, is often confused,
Once, when the weather forecast was broadcast, 28 degrees was said to be 48 degrees.
Another time, there was a singer who brought his own album to play songs,
At that time, the radio broadcast equipment was still relatively old,
You need to put the box strap in and then push the switch up.
As a result, Li Qiong forgot to push the switch, and she also chatted with the singer about the day.
The music did not play successfully, but the chat content of the two was broadcast,
The audience listened to the two talk about where the clothes were bought and how much it cost.
The audience often wrote letters to complain, and the director of the station took Li Qiong down in a fit of anger.
But unexpectedly, she soon ushered in another opportunity.
At that time, Chutian Television Organized a performance in the army, and Li Qiong, as a senior student in the music department of Wuhan University,
Was pushed up to sing, as a result Li Qiong opened his voice to amaze everyone,
In particular, one of the company commanders in the unit was moved to tears.
Later, this company commander found Li Qiong and invited her to come to the army as a literary and artistic soldier.
And she is a high-achieving student, and she can get a two-star rank when she enters the department.
Li Qiong's father was also very supportive of her going to the army to exercise,
So Li Qiong left the Chutian Music Station to become a literary and artistic soldier.
But after she entered the army, she found that the policy had changed, she could not get a lever and two stars, and she had to start with a cadet.
The life of the troops was disciplined and the regulations were clear, and Li Qiong was very uncomfortable at first.
I can't even fold the quilt into tofu blocks, and I am most afraid of the squad leader checking the housekeeping every time.
Sometimes Li Qiong also had to go to the back kitchen to wash the dishes, and once she slipped her hand,
A bunch of bowls were all smashed on the ground, and her allowance of dozens of dollars a month was gone.
At that time, Li Qiong was so aggrieved that she wanted to climb the wall to escape, and she found the company commander who was looking for her to enlist.
Asked when she would be able to get a lift, the company commander told her that participating in the competition and getting a place was the fastest way to get a good job.
At that time, the most formal and influential singing competition in China was the Youth Song Competition.
It is also organized by CCTV, and if you get a ranking in the province, you can go to Beijing.
At that time, there was a dancer in Lianli who was seconded by the Beijing Cultural and Labor Troupe for a period of time.
She also went to Beijing because of this, and when she returned, she told her comrades-in-arms how good Beijing was.
Beijing's Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, and Chang'an Avenue are like dreams.
Li Qiong was fascinated by this, and also wanted to go to Beijing to have a look,
At that time, her goal was to be able to go to the floor of CCTV and step on it.
Li Qiong first participated in the preliminary selection of the Youth Song Contest in Hubei Province.
She sang one of the most popular songs of the year, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", and successfully won the gold award.
Thus I also got the opportunity to go to Beijing to compete.
As long as you come back from Beijing, no matter what rank,
Li Qiong's two stars had arrived, and she didn't have much hope at all.
But when she really arrived in Beijing, Li Qiong began to get nervous.
Hubei only came to her one player, and that was the first time she left Wuhan.
Li Qiong called her father in a hurry, and his father came to Beijing the next day.
He also found a work permit and mixed in, specifically to comfort his daughter,
In the following games, he also sat in the audience.
With the blessing of her father, Li Qiong is much more confident, and she has been a popular player since the preliminary round.
Father Li sat downstage to listen to the audience next to him, this little girl will definitely be able to enter the rematch,
Maybe it's this year's Gold Award.
Li Qiong did indeed enter the semi-finals with a super high score, and became a popular candidate for the Gold Award.
But there was a controversy that accompanied her at that time.
Li Qiong signed up for popular singing, but her singing voice is more ethnic,
It was very difficult to get the judges to score.
On the day of the final, Li Qiong was still the big hit of the Gold Award,
But her ratings are polarized, some of them very high.
Some of the scores were so low that she didn't even get the top three awards.
Only one award of excellence was received.
Li Qiong herself did not feel regrets, but the audience in the audience talked about it.
For this girl with a high voice, the newspapers also reported on it the next day.
There are also many viewers who write letters to CCTV to complain.
The leaders of CCTV attach great importance to this matter and specially call the staff together for a meeting.
In the end, it was decided to play one more game and award a favorite award from the audience.
Clear-eyed people can see that this is a special competition for Li Qiong.
So after the end of the Qingge Competition, let the top three players compete with Li Qiong again,
And the rule of this selection is that the audience votes by secret ballot,
At that time, there were no voting machines at all, so a piece of paper was placed under each audience seat.
In the end, Li Qiong got a full ticket and won this special award without suspense.
This was also the first time that the youth song contest changed the rules, and it was only after that that there were votes from the audience.
During the competition, Li Guyi was one of the judges and the leader of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
She said to Li Qiong, no matter what rank you get, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe wants you.
After the competition, the Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps also extended an olive branch to her.
At this time, Li Qiong can also get the rank of lieutenant, and she is not willing to leave the army.
She chose the Armed Police Corps, but her good fortune was not over.
The Spring Festival Gala in 1999 is in preparation, and almost every year the popular players of the Youth Song Competition will appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala is strictly censored, and the songs are mostly based on chorus,
Often only singers who are very senior and have excellent singing skills can get the opportunity to sing solo.
And that year's solo was given to Li Qiong.
When the Spring Festival Gala announced the news, the media reported on the matter,
Many reporters blocked li qiong's door and wanted to interview her.
Frightened, she and her father had to go out for a walk and did not dare to go home.
That year's Spring Festival Gala fire two songs and a sketch,
A song sung by Chen Hong, Cai Guoqing and others , "Often Go Home to See",
The other is Li Qiong's "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road",
The sketch is Song Dandan and Zhao Benshan's "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow".
Li Qiong's clear voice is transparent and high-pitched, making this a new treble divine song,
She is not tall, a round baby face, wearing a red ethnic top,
I also carried a large bamboo basket on my back.
She was 23 years old, but she looked like a teenager.
The small body exploded with great energy, and it was red all over the country for a while.
When Li Qiong participated in the Spring Festival Gala, her father also accompanied her.
It's just that the Spring Festival Gala is strictly censored, and Father Li can't go in,
He could only wait outside the door guarding the iron railing, and waited until Li Qiong finished singing before he was relieved.
This song "Eighteen Bends of Mountain Road" won the second prize of the most popular program of the Spring Festival Gala,
At the same time, it also won the Golden Eagle Award, and this song has also become a song that the audience is competing to imitate.
Almost everyone can come to a voice 'sons and grandchildren of the mountains yo ~'
But few people can sing the high notes of Li Qiong.
At that time, Li Qiong was a red person on CCTV, and often appeared at various large-scale parties.
However, after only two years, Li Qiong disappeared, and many people rumored that she was banned.
This rumor comes from a failed show,
In 2000, Li Qiong was once again selected by the Cultural and Labor Troupe to participate in the Youth Song Competition.
And it was only ten days before the game that she received a notice, so she had to prepare a temporary song "Boatman's Trumpet".
On the day of the game, Li Qiong was very nervous, and the host that day was Zhu Xun, but there was just a slip of the tongue.
The Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps is described as the Civilian Police Cultural and Labor Corps.
Li Qiong, who was already nervous, immediately confused, hesitated for a few seconds to confirm that he was only on the field.
But she had missed the beat when she went up, and it didn't fit in with the dance troupe's performance at all.
In that performance, Li Qiong also wore a hat,
The final design action is to throw the hat on the camera lamp and interact with the camera.
As a result, Li Qiongyi nervously threw his hat on the judges' seat.
Caused a performance accident, and naturally did not get too good results in the end.
After this competition, Li Qiong did not appear on the stage of CCTV for a long time.
She also began to wonder if she was suitable for singing.
In particular, it had a shadow on this song "Boatman's Trumpet", and I did not dare to sing it again for several years.
During that time, Li Qiong returned to the army and sang steadily,
She often followed the grassroots condolence performances, but her reputation has not improved.
The outside world rumored that she had too many commercial performances after she became popular, offending the leaders,
Others say she often plays big names, doesn't take photos with others, and doesn't look at the band.
Once, when she was performing, the conductor of the band deliberately lowered two keys,
So that Li Qiong's voice did not fit with the band at all, and he soared in the high pitch,
The audience also cheered below, and was very embarrassed for a while.
At that time, there were many rumors, which had a certain impact on Li Qiong's career.
In fact, she was not banned by CCTV, and she once took the "Boatman's Trumpet" CCTV Spring Festival Song and Dance Party.
It's just that she has never sung a more well-known work than "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road".
Another controversy is Li Qiong's figure, originally she was a slightly fat girl.
But after becoming popular, the figure is more uncontrollable, getting fatter and fatter,
She was even so fat that she couldn't see her neck at one point, so much so that she was criticized for her performances.
And behind the fat also stems from her ten years of love,
At that time, Li Qiong had a boyfriend and loved her very much.
Often taking her to supper at night, causing her to get fatter and fatter.
But Li Qiong's parents were not satisfied with the boy.
Especially the father of a Chu opera actor has always maintained the quality of an actor.
Whether it is the voice or the figure has always been the same as when I was young,
He was very dissatisfied with his daughter's indulgence of her figure.
Li Qiong is a very filial girl, and finally chose her parents between her parents and her boyfriend.
And she is becoming more and more low-key in her career.
Most of the time she followed the troops to perform at the grassroots level, at most a hundred times a year,
When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred in 2008, she personally drove for a month to reach the disaster area.
With a short haircut, she left behind all kinds of relief supplies,
He also wrote many inspiring songs for the disaster area.
On the other hand, Li Qiong also learned from her father and began to transform into a teacher.
After my father stopped on stage, he began to teach the children to sing Chu opera,
Li Qiong also began to work as a music teacher and organized the first female electronic band.
Originally, she had not been on the show for many years, and she did not give interviews.
But in order to promote the band, she started to appear on stage again,
Singing the song "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road" again, it was this girl band that played for her.
It's just that after Li Qiong's comeback, many people still focus on her figure,
In addition, she has not made new works in recent years, so her comeback has not brought much heat.
When the epidemic last year, many celebrities recorded videos to cheer for Wuhan.
Only the figure of Wuhan singer Li Qiong was not seen,
Later, she wrote on Weibo that she rejected many media,
I can't say anything to cheer, and I cry when I speak,
I am not suitable to be a public figure at all.
However, in the anti-epidemic drama "Hancheng 2020" produced by Wuhan filmmakers and Wuhan film institutions,
Li Qiong took the initiative to ask Miao to sing the theme song.
Li Qiong, who grew up under the care of her father, may really not be suitable for being a star.
Only suitable for singing on stage and being a free singer.
While she became popular, she continued to argue, and realized that if she wanted to wear a crown, she must bear its weight,
Although she has been silent for many years, she still can't forget her high-pitched song "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road".
