Grassroots singer Wang Erni, I believe many people have heard of it. In 2007, she was deeply impressed by her grassroots background and simple singing, and was known as the "mountain song girl". For more than a decade, she has maintained a grassroots image that gives people warm and positive energy. However, there are many popular people, and in recent years, there have been revelations pointing out that Wang Erni's grassroots identity is actually a disguise! What's going on here?
In 1985, Wang Erni was born in an ordinary rural family in Shaanxi, her parents were both farming for a living, there were a total of 4 children in the family, she was the second oldest. As the second eldest child, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings, and also helped with housework and farm work, and her life was very hard.
Wang Erni has shown a strong interest in singing and extraordinary talent since she was a child. Whenever she comes home from school, she likes to stand on the field ridge and overlook the mountains and rivers, listening to the mountain songs in the distance and humming softly to the melody of the music, which is very engaged.
People in the village say that her singing voice is very sweet and beautiful, especially good at singing old folk songs such as "Jasmine", "Peach Blossom River", etc., whenever she opens her mouth to sing, she can always attract many villagers to come to watch and listen.
Wang Erni's musical talent was quickly discovered and affirmed. Although the family was poor, the parents were determined to fully support their daughter in learning to sing. With the help of family and friends, they finally raised the tuition fees, allowing Wang Erni to enter a local art school to study music.
For Wang Erni, coming to the art school and facing the piano room, sheet music, unfamiliar environment and high-intensity learning tasks is a new and huge challenge for her.
At first, Wang Erni was very uncomfortable with the rhythm of life in the art school, and she felt laborious and boring to learn various singing methods and boring music knowledge every day. However, with the help and encouragement of her teachers and classmates, she gradually found the joy of learning and resolutely decided to do her best to complete her studies.
The school time is always short, and through learning Wang Erni's singing skills by leaps and bounds, she once again fulfilled that her hard work will definitely pay off, and she did not disappoint her parents and relatives to obtain a certificate.
After leaving the art school, Wang Erni entered an art troupe to work, and the stable salary greatly helped her family improve their lives, and it was here that she met her prince charming Li Fei.
Li Fei witnessed and affirmed Wang Erni's inner musical passion and ambition, and he constantly encouraged her to bravely pursue her dreams and take a bigger stage. In 2007, with Li Fei's full support, Wang Erni finally plucked up the courage to sign up for CCTV's talent show "Avenue of Stars".
Unlike other contestants, Wang Erni did not exaggerate makeup and costumes, but naturally wore a simple red flower jacket and a twisted braid on her head, dressed up as an ordinary village girl.
However, as soon as she opened her mouth to sing the mountain song, her ethereal voice instantly shocked the audience, and all the judges and audience were impressed. I didn't expect that under such a simple appearance, there was such a wonderful and pure voice. Wang Erni's sincerity, simplicity and simple and moving style of singing moved the national audience, and she quickly became a leader among rural singers.
Although Wang Erni only won the runner-up in the end, with this competition, she has become a household name "Mountain Song Girl", and her popularity has risen rapidly. As soon as the program ended, Wang Erni was highly valued by CCTV and was appointed as the host of the large-scale program "Country World".
It was also a new challenge for her who had no hosting experience. But with her natural and amiable temperament and witty and humorous reaction ability, Wang Erni quickly adapted to the hosting work and was widely praised.
Three years later, Wang Erni fully transformed into a singer and released her first album "Love Northern Shaanxi". This album fully demonstrates the charm of Northern Shaanxi folk songs, and many listeners feel a strong nostalgia after enjoying it. The album was widely praised, and Wang Erni also entered the development path of commercialization. In 2014, Wang Erni and Li Fei tied the knot, and the two had a stable relationship and still frothed each other.
However, as Wang Erni gradually became famous, questions about her life experience gradually emerged. There are rumors that the image of her poor origin is actually packaging, and the real living conditions are much better. In this regard, Wang Erni has always kept a low-key attitude and did not explain her growth background too much.
So what is the truth? This needs to be looked at dialectically. First of all, Wang Erni's musical talent and creative ability are unquestionable. Her songs are simple and touching, and they hit the heart, which cannot be falsified by any packaging.
Secondly, her "grassroots image" in "Avenue of Stars" does have some exaggerated and contrived elements, aiming to gain audience attention in a competitive environment. But this does not mean that she has a good life, on the contrary, her upbringing is still very difficult.
Finally, we must see that Wang Erni has been famous for many years but can still maintain a low-key attitude and original intention, which proves that she is a kind-hearted person. She did not give up Li Fei, a soulmate who supported herself, and the relationship between the two was as always, which showed that she was a knowledgeable and trustworthy person.
And she did not embark on the road of commercial hype, but has been exploring the charm of folk songs, which proves that she maintains a sincere love and persistence for music.
To sum up, we should not be too demanding on each artist's upbringing, but should pay more attention to the quality of their work and the essence of their hearts. I sincerely hope that Wang Erni can stick to her own musical style and continue to touch people's hearts with simple folk song chanting.
Her musical path is still long, as long as she persists, she will definitely be able to go further. I believe that she will use her unique singing voice to show the world the spiritual beauty of folk songs and become an outstanding singer who makes Chinese folk songs carry forward. What do you think about this?
