In November 2022, the famous vocal professor Jin Tielin passed away, and Song Zuying took the whole family to attend the funeral.
So far, Song Zuying has only knelt twice. One is his father who died early, and the other is his mentor Jin Tielin.
Jin Tielin's death was even more devastating than her father's death.
Her father accompanied her for 12 years, but Jin Tielin taught, promoted and supported her for 30 years.
Recalling the scenes of the past, Song Zuying's memory of his mentor stayed on the bowl of braised pork.
She was very poor, and her mother had no difficulty collecting tuition, so she could only eat pickles and porridge every day.
After Teacher Jin Tielin knew that her life was in dire straits, he often let her and Li Danyang go to her home for dinner.
Song Zuying loved to eat the braised pork made by her master at that time, which was full of aroma, and she could eat most of the bowl in one go. Jin Tielin always smiled and said:
"You eat slowly, it's all left to you".
The teacher-student relationship with his mentor, the husband and wife relationship with Luo Hao, and the mother-son relationship with his son are the most difficult things for Song Zuying to let go of in this life.
The lights on the stage are not comparable to the teacher's word of concern, the husband's support, and the son's praise.
01. A man changes his life
In 1990, Song Zuying stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and sang the popular motherland with a song "Small Back Basket".
She is known by everyone as the golden phoenix that came out of the mud pit in Xiangxi.
At that time, Luo Hao's eyes outside the screen were shining with gentle light, and his heart was full of joy.
He thought to himself: This "bitter girl" finally has a day to come out.
He remembered that two years ago, as a music choreographer of Hunan Television, he took several singers to participate in the third Youth Song Competition. Among them, there is Song Zuying, who is only 22 years old. However, Song Zuying did not get the ideal ranking, and she cried her nose for this. Luo Hao saw it in his eyes at that time, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable. He stepped forward to comfort her. The two met because of this.
Luo Hao appreciates Song Zuying's voice and aura, thinking that she has good talent and high understanding, and if she has the guidance of a famous teacher, she will definitely become a great talent. Therefore, he thought of his good friend Jin Tielin, a vocal professor who has trained many singers such as Li Gu. He introduced Song Zuying to Jin Tielin to study.
This is actually the real turning point in Song Zuying's life destiny.
She met the love of this life, Luo Hao, and thus met the Bole Jin Tielin of life.
Song Zuying will always remember the first time he went to Teacher Jin Tielin's house.
That day, when Luo Hao brought her to her friend's house, she was immediately stunned when she saw the person in front of her, and she couldn't even speak clearly, because the teacher Jin Tielin she had always wanted to find was close at hand.
Luo Hao said: "Don't you want to worship a teacher"?
Song Zuying seemed to wake up from a dream, crying with joy. Immediately bent down and bowed deeply, solemnly shouting Teacher Jin. Jin Tielin asked the two to stay for dinner, and he made a simple understanding of Song Zuying, and finally accepted her as an apprentice.
It turned out that as early as before the worship of the teacher, Luo Hao had already visited Jin Tielin, hoping that he could accept Song Zuying as an apprentice.
Jin Tielin said with a smile that he has always been very optimistic about Song Zuying, but she has been singing outside, and it is difficult for him to even see her, and he can't take her as an apprentice.
After becoming a student of Jin Tielin, Song Zuying lived in a dilapidated basement in Beijing. In winter, it was very windy, and the wind and sand outside would blow in through the rotten windows in the basement, and she could only sleep with her head covered with a quilt.
In my heart, I also thought of Luo Hao, who was far away in Changsha.
And Luo Hao is naturally worried about Song Zuying, who is studying alone in Beijing.
Before meeting Song Zuying, Luo Hao was a director of Hunan TV, mature and steady. But since meeting Song Zuying, he has changed like a different person, always thinking about how to get close to each other. At that time, Song Zuying was studying in Beijing, and Luo Hao, who was in Changsha, often wrote to her, encouraging her spiritually and caring for her in life.
At that time, the carriages and horses were very slow, and it took about ten days and a half for a letter to reach the recipient, but the relationship established in such a simple way was extremely strong and long-lasting.
Luo Hao had wanted to financially fund Song Zuying, but was rejected. Because Song Zuying doesn't want to be a spineless person.
At that time, he studied with Song Zuying in Jin Tielin's teacher, and Li Danyang, both of whom were well-known music students in school.
But at the same time, both people are equally poor.
After Jin Tielin knew the embarrassment of the two, he often took the two home for dinner.
Once, after Song Zuying finished cleaning the classroom, Li Danyang rushed over to tell her to hurry up, and the teacher's house was about to open a meal. Song Zuying quickly packed up and ran to Jin Tielin's house with her to eat.
On the table, there was a bowl of chili and braised pork, two of her favorite foods.
When Song Zuying went to eat for the first time, he finished the small half bowl of braised pork without paying attention. The teacher couldn't help but say that there was no need to eat so quickly, and the braised pork would be reserved for her in the future.
She was embarrassed and told the teacher that she liked to eat chili peppers, and it would be good to have chili peppers.
When studying in Beijing, Song Zuying was happiest when he went home for a busy day to soak his feet in a bucket of hot water, and felt that Ren Du's two veins were opened.
02. Be grateful to your husband and give to your family
After the two dating, Luo Hao proposed to Song Zuying more than once, but she never agreed.
Luo Hao was puzzled, so he asked her why.
Song Zuying thought for a long time before telling Luo Hao that he wanted to help his family.
Because she has a family that is not rich and needs her care.
So after some thought, she politely rejected Luo Hao's marriage proposal.
However, Luo Hao was not discouraged. When he knew that Song Zuying was going to sing abroad, he gently wished her a happy life. Then, he ran alone to Song Zuying's hometown and brought all her family to live in Beijing.
After Song Zuying went on a business trip for more than half a month, as soon as she returned to Beijing, her little sister Song Jialing came to find her. And Xiaomei's first words are to let her marry Luo Hao, she wants to have one more brother-in-law in the family.
This made Song Zuying particularly puzzled: Why did Xiaomei suddenly come to Beijing in the rural area of Xiangxi, Hunan Province? Song Zuying's mind was full of thoughts. When she saw all her family in Beijing, she immediately understood what was going on.
Song Zuying was completely moved by Luo Hao's sincerity.
In 1992, the two entered the marriage hall.
But for a long time, the two were separated. Luo Hao is in Changsha, Song Zuying is in Beijing. Many people think that their feelings will become weaker, but in fact they are getting stronger. Luo Hao will fly to Beijing as long as he has time. At that time he became a "trapeze".
In 1991, Song Zuying became a solo singer in the Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe, and her performance tasks were heavier, often needing to go to the army to perform condolences, and also participate in large-scale galas such as the Spring Festival Gala, so she was in a very busy state.
At this time, not only her in-laws, but even her mother, hoped that her daughter would have a child early. But at this time, Song Zuying was in the rising stage of his career, so he discussed with the elders whether he could have children later. The parents of both sides also understood and agreed to the request of the little couple.
In 2002, Song Zuying went to Australia to hold a solo concert and went to Vienna to sing solo. Her singing floated across the ocean and went farther away.
But no matter how far she went, she never forgot her mentor.
Across the sea, she has to call Jin Tielin every day.
Although she was already popular at this time, when she encountered problems, she would still carefully consult the teacher and ask the teacher to guide her.
For her husband Luo Hao, of course, it is the same.
In 2004, Song Zuying became pregnant, and just when she was hesitating whether to give birth to this child, her husband Luo Hao's words moved her.
Luo Hao said that as long as he gives birth to a child, he will bring the child in the future, and will never delay Song Zuying's career.
He has been married to Luo Hao for more than ten years, and almost everything in the family is handled by Luo Hao. Including the illness of Song Zuying's younger brother Song Zurong, Luo Hao is also asking for medical treatment everywhere.
So in Song Zuying's heart, he was full of gratitude to Luo Hao.
She felt that she should also do something for her family.
2005 was a very memorable year for Song Zuying. Because in this year, she not only held the position of deputy head of the Haizheng Cultural Troupe, was awarded the rank of naval colonel, became the highest-ranking "deputy regiment commander", and enjoyed the administrative treatment of division-level cadres, but she and Luo Hao's beloved son also came to this world.
After the birth of his son, Luo Hao fulfilled his promise, put down his work and returned to the family.
Song Zuying, on the other hand, continued his singing career. On October 12, 2006, he went to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the highest art hall in the United States, and held a solo concert of "A Beautiful Jasmine", which attracted the attention of the world.
Although her singing career is extremely prosperous, Song Zuying always feels that she owes her family, Luo Hao, and her children too much.
From kindergarten to elementary school, Luo Hao went to the parent-teacher meeting. Until one time, Luo Hao did not go to school because his father was sick, and Song Zuying went to a parent-teacher meeting. At this time, my son's classmates were surprised and said, "You really have a mother."
Song Zuying stepped forward and hugged her son, who buried his neck and whispered, I told others that my mother could sing, and they didn't believe it.
At that moment, Song Zuying realized that he had too little company for his family.
In 2014, Song Zuying gave up the Spring Festival Gala and went home to have a Chinese New Year's Eve meal with his family. The family sat together, her mother reminisced about her childhood, her husband told her old stories, and her heart felt like honey.
Song Zuying, who has always been in a state of struggle, finally understands that relatives are more important than career.
After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Zuying cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and her husband quickly stepped forward to take her hand and let her go to the side to rest. Seeing her husband skillfully cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, sweeping and mopping the floor, she burst into tears.
Despite the fact that her family was still sitting on the side, Song Zuying hugged her husband and thanked him for his dedication to the family for so many years.
Today, Song Zuying enjoys spending time with her family very much. Every weekend off, she cooks for herself and shows her little hands. Although the little sister Song Jialing felt that the taste was average, Luo Hao ate with relish. For Song Zuying, the atmosphere of family together is the most important. In addition, the son is 18 years old, he is a handsome young man, and he has become the pride of his mother. So there is nothing that makes Song Zuying happier than these.
Previously, every year in June, Song Zuying would gather with Li Danyang, Wang Lida and others to celebrate the birthday of his mentor Jin Tielin. They are both students of Jin Tielin, each other's confidants, and partners in music.
In 2022, Jin Tielin passed away, and Song Zuying took the whole family to the funeral after he found out. In front of the Spirit Hall, Song Zuying knelt down to bid farewell to his master, and the scenes of the past came to mind.
When she was helpless abroad, it was her mentor who showed her the way. When she was confused, it was her mentor who taught her not to be arrogant...
In this life, she can succeed without the support of her mentor and her husband Luo Hao.
The departure of her mentor hit Song Zuying very hard, she did not go out for half a month, and she nestled in her room all day singing and writing. Both mother and son persuaded her not to put too much pressure on herself, birth, old age, illness and death are human nature.
After sorting out his emotions, Song Zuying's life returned to ordinary.
After years of ups and downs, Song Zuying lived a simple housewife life, and she also understood that plainness is true happiness.
Epilogue:
Song Zuying's misfortune is that he lost his father in childhood and lived without help for more than ten years.
She was lucky that she met the love of her life, Luo Hao, who unwaveringly supported her and tolerated her no matter what decision she made. He not only gave her a home and the most love, but also let her know the best teacher in her life, Jin Tielin, so that she had a brilliant career.
She seemed to understand at once that the most important noble person in her life was Luo Hao.
Therefore, for the rest of her life, she just wants to keep the affection in her life.
As for her career, she continues to love it, but doesn't put all her mind into it.
