She was born in an art family, grew up in the Korean folk songs; under the guidance of her parents and teachers, she achieved remarkable results but was not proud of defeat; her learning attitude was rigorous and pragmatic, she gave up the work invitation of the Central National Song and Dance Troupe for her studies, believing that plain and simple is the truth; she is our Country's Korean singer - Bian Yinghua.
<h1>Grow up in the art house, choose the art path</h1>
In 1983, Bian Yinghua was born in an art family, and her parents gave her a sweet singing voice. Like many little girls, she has loved singing and dancing since she was a child, revealing a great talent for music. Bian Yinghua's childhood was spent in The Song of the Korean People, and perhaps it was this musical enlightenment that laid a solid foundation for her future singing career.
When Bian Yinghua was 8 years old, Wangnu Chengfeng's parents both quit their jobs in order to give her a formal professional education and accompanied her to Yanji. They rented a cottage of less than 10 square meters to learn cultural knowledge and devote all their talents to learning from teachers. During this time, Bian Yinghua not only learned a wealth of cultural knowledge, but also dabbled in vocal music and keyboard knowledge. The difficulties of her family did not stop her enthusiasm for learning, on the contrary, her young soul had long been buried in the determination to repay her parents with her own achievements.
When Bian Yinghua was 12 years old, the Yanbian Branch of Jilin Academy of Arts enrolled in primary school classes, and her mother took her everywhere to ask teachers to teach vocal music and sight singing ear training. At home, every day her mother urged her to practice her voice with the teaching tapes recorded from class. Kung Fu paid off, and Bian Yinghua was successfully admitted to Yanbian Art School and began her artistic path.
<h1>With the guidance of a mentor, the results are fruitful</h1>
In 1996, Bian Yinghua was successfully admitted to the secondary school class of the Art College of Yanbian University with excellent results. This year, she was fortunate to meet the person who influenced her life's fate - Jiang Xinzi, associate professor of the National Vocal Music Teaching and Research Department. Professor Jiang found that Bian Yinghua's wide vocal range, clear and rounded sound quality, elasticity and magnetism, strong plasticity, is the best singer she has been looking for to sing folk songs with bel canto singing.
Therefore, she gave special care to Bian Yinghua like a treasure. In order to give full play to the inner potential of Bian Yinghua, as long as there is time, Professor Jiang will give Bian Yinghua individual counseling. Bian Yinghua, who is solid in his studies and highly perceptive, will immediately express Professor Jiang's thoughts and intentions perfectly and accurately. Professor Jiang said: "After singing all my life and teaching for a lifetime, I am most proud to be able to teach Bian Yinghua. ”
Under the careful cultivation of Professor Jiang, Bian Yinghua's singing level has improved qualitatively and leapt forward, gradually forming her own unique singing style, and the opportunity to show her strength has also come. From 2000 to 2002, Bian Yinghua participated in many competitions, such as the "Second and Third National Traditional Music Festival - Folk Song Conference" jointly organized by the Yanbian Korean Cultural Development Promotion Association and the All-Korea Federation of Cultural Institutes, and the Chinese Korean Singers Competition, all of which achieved excellent results. In 2002, Bian Yinghua was awarded the Special Contribution Award by Yanbian University.
After Bian Yinghua's parents learned of the fruitful results their daughter had obtained, on the one hand, they praised her as a good child who was angry, and on the other hand, they also urged her to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, continue to work hard, and win glory for the country in the future. Bian Yinghua feels happy to bring joy to her parents, but also feels a great responsibility - not to disappoint the people who care about her. Since then, she has set higher standards for herself, set strict demands on herself, broadened the sound range, widened the thickness of the sound quality, deeply appreciated the style of the work, and read and collected books on Korean music, laying a good professional foundation for the realization of the dream of a musician.
<h1>Reject the Central National Song and Dance Troupe</h1>
In the four years of undergraduate study life, Bian Yinghua strictly demanded herself, just like she said, always felt that her knowledge was not enough, especially after returning from participating in various performances, what she saw and heard further enhanced her sense of urgency to study. Bian Yinghua used all her spare time to study, and she took the initiative to visit Kim Zhen, a famous Korean Gayaqin expert. In the process of learning ethnic vocal music, she not only learned the skills of her predecessors and experts, but also learned their ideas and learned the theory of Korean national music. This has led to a leap forward in her artistic cognitive ability and artistic connotation.
Bian Yinghua's learning attitude is rigorous and pragmatic, but in life, she believes that plain and simple is the truth. Her aesthetic view is that the more ordinary the better, off stage she has always been simple, unadorned nature. She is not only a good professional, but also a model of behavior among her classmates and teachers, and she practices the rules of behavior of respecting others, treating others well, and etiquette first. When the students have difficulties, especially when they are confused professionally, she can modestly guide and help the students, which not only eliminates the jealousy of the students, but also wins the respect of the students.
At the beginning of 2004, the Central National Song and Dance Troupe made an exception and directly hired Bian Yinghua as a soloist, but in the face of valuable work and unfinished studies, she chose to study. Bian Yinghua said that national things are very vital, and how can things that cannot be learned in a lifetime be easily abandoned. She wants to root herself in the soil of national music,
She said: "The melody of Korean music is so beautiful, I want to study and study it carefully, so as to bring better things to the people of the whole country and even the people of the world, and strive to be a well-rounded musician." In 2006, Bian Yinghua was sponsored by Yanbian University as a vocal music graduate student at Yanbian University's School of Arts. For the achievements that have been made, Bian Yinghua said that those are just the steps she has walked in her singing career, and if she wants to achieve better results, she can only continue to work hard.
From elementary school to middle school to college, for more than a decade, Bian Yinghua has been immersed in the world of folk songs. So now, she chose to develop the Central National Song and Dance Troupe, all stemming from the national complex that will never go away in her heart. Korean folk songs seem to have been fully integrated into her spiritual world, as long as the music is played, her whole body will be wrapped in music and melted. This is Bian Yinghua, she is on the road of pursuing art, winning is not proud, defeat is not discouraged, always adhere to step by step. Her perseverance in learning attitude, open-minded outlook on life and values deserve our praise for her.
