As a queen of folk, her achievements in the field of music are countless. She not only appeared on the Spring Festival Gala 27 times in a row, won numerous awards, but also won the honor of a national first-class actor. However, despite the passage of half a century, she is still a single aristocrat, which makes many fans feel anxious. People began to speculate whether she had experienced a period of emotional trauma or because of other life experiences.
Born in 1968, she comes from a family full of literary atmosphere. Her father was a professional playwright for the opera house, while her mother was a high-profile actress. In this family context, she was surrounded by music from an early age and even began to imitate her mother to sing as a baby. As she grew older, she showed exceptional musical talent, and by the age of five she was already on stage. Although her parents wanted her to choose a more mundane career path, such as becoming a people's teacher, her love of art made her unwilling to be bound in any way.
Her artistic dreams eventually led her to a theatrical path, although her parents had hoped that she would choose an alternative path between the key high school and the provincial art school. She chose her favorite art performance and soon made her mark in school with excellent grades. Whether it is various cultural activities organized by the school, she is the preferred solo performer. Later, her outstanding performance attracted the attention of the famous vocal professor Jin Tielin, who trained many outstanding singers. In addition, she also received special attention from Li Guyi, who not only cooked delicious food for her on weekends, but also taught her many singing skills and stage experience.
In 1986, as soon as she entered university, she participated in a singing competition, and although the results were not satisfactory, it attracted the attention of many people. In 1987, she was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, further establishing her position in the singing career. In addition, she also signed up for the professional category of the Youth Song Competition, and this time she performed well. Since then, her singing career has flourished and has become a regular lineup for the Spring Festival Gala. At the same time, her love also crept in.
At one performance, she met a singer six years older than her, and the two had a tacit rapport, and the musical collaboration made them attracted to each other. At that time, they both thought that the other could be their future partner. However, over time, their feelings were also tested. The huge difference in personality led to conflict after conflict, and although they were in love for eight years, they eventually parted ways and started a new life on their own.
In 2001, she successfully completed her graduate studies, and the school hired her as a teacher, fulfilling her mother's dream for many years. However, at the same time that she told her parents the good news, she received a harrowing news. Her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and she decided to bring his father to Beijing, giving up many performance opportunities to devote herself to his nursing work. Although his father's illness was already serious, they were still living exceptionally happily well in the company of the family.
However, her love life has also experienced ups and downs over the years. After she broke up with her previous partner, she was at the peak of her career and faced health problems with her parents. She endured great sadness alone, but on the Spring Festival evening, her partner Lu Jihong was always by her side, giving her infinite encouragement and support. Lv Jihong became her confidant, and their friendship gradually deepened.
Over time, everything gradually improved and her mother recovered. Today, she is most concerned about her daughter's marriage, and despite being forty years old, she is in no hurry to get married. In the face of speculation and rumors from the outside world, she chose to remain silent and concentrate on living her life. Although her love did not achieve a clear result, she had an enviable friendship, that is, a deep friendship with Lu Jihong.
The two met at the Youth Song Contest, and because they often appeared together, they became close friends. After her father's death, Lv Jihong gave her a lot of care and support, and the relationship between the two was sublimated into a "close friend in the middle" who talked about everything. They get along naturally and without any cover. In public, they were as intimate as usual, even jokingly teasing each other without reservation.
In her opinion, Lu Jihong is a very considerate person and treats her friends very thoughtfully. Because his smile often seemed small-eyed, she occasionally jokingly called him "red panda." Years of friendship and cooperation have made their tacit understanding very high. Once, Lu Jihong caught a cold and was worried that it would affect the performance effect, so he said to her: "When you go on stage, you can sing more." As a result, she decisively sang many difficult parts on stage. This tacit understanding made fans humorously call them the "Panda Group".
Although the two are single, many fans have called for them to "come together". Once, when she praised Lu Jihong's cooking skills on stage, host Zhu Jun quipped: "He has never cooked for me, I have never tasted it." "Even when they're not performing, they sit down together for dinner. At a program recording site in 2021, they entered together holding arms, looking like a tacit couple, and even wearing matching costumes. The host also joked: "The pockets on Commander Lu's clothes were cut from Zhang Ye's skirt, right?" This scene amused everyone.
Perhaps, the relationship between them has surpassed ordinary friendship, but has not crossed the boundaries of love. In their view, being a couple is not the only way out of happiness. As they grow older, they have long looked down on love, and having a confidant around them who can make deep friends is happy enough. They may not have a marriage certificate, but that doesn't matter. In their eyes, it is important that they have each other's company and camaraderie, which is enough.
