In 2000, when Zhao Benshan said the words that shocked everyone, no one could have imagined that he would break the true face of Song Zuying in one word...
23 years later, Zhao Benshan's prophecy has come true, and Song Zuying has long gained fame and fortune, no longer the youthful appearance of the year, but a highly sought after folk song diva.
And Li Guyi and Dong Wenhua, who are also known as the "queens of folk songs" with Song Zuying, their lives are even more bumpy...
Zhao Benshan and Song Zuying
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in 1990, 24-year-old Song Zuying appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
In the face of the crowded audience, Song Zuying, who was preparing in the background, was so nervous that it was difficult to speak, which made her anxious.
At this time, Zhao Benshan, who was preparing in the background, noticed her predicament, and he took the initiative to greet Song Zuying, sent his own box lunch, and enlightened her with humorous words: "In the future, I will be your eldest brother, and if you have any difficulties, find me directly."
Zhao Benshan's care made Song Zuying cheer up again, and after she took the stage, she successfully completed the song "Little Back Basket", and she became a blockbuster.
Soon after, Zhao Benshan also predicted that Song Zuying's future achievements would far surpass him.
After 1990, Song Zuying appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for ten consecutive years, growing from a little girl to a "folk song queen", and Zhao Benshan regarded Song Zuying as a sister, and Song Zuying also respected Zhao Benshan and called him Brother Zhao.
When Song Zuying opened a solo concert, Zhao Benshan would always take the time to come to support and love Song Zuying with a brotherly attitude.
Whenever he speaks on stage, Song Zuying always thanks Big Brother Zhao for his care for him over the years, which makes the relationship between the two become closer and closer.
But in 2000, rumors questioned whether Song Zuying's frequent appearance on the Spring Festival Gala was supported by someone, which once seriously damaged her reputation.
In order to protect Song Zuying's reputation, Zhao Benshan did not hesitate to hold a press conference to clarify the truth, pointing out that Song Zuying went to the Spring Festival Gala completely by strength and did not have personal relations with anyone.
Just when Song Zuying was at the trough of the storm of public opinion, Zhao Benshan extended a helping hand and became her strongest backing.
It is with this trust and support that Song Zuying can break through many difficulties and continue to shine in the music scene.
In 2007, Zhao Benshan's father passed away, and he was in grief and said excitedly after seeing Zhao Zuying's arrival that his father wanted to see Song Zuying, the goddaughter.
Over the years, the two have taken care of each other like a family, and Song Zuying and Zhao Benshan take care of each other like relatives, so when the other party encounters great changes, they will rush to the side as soon as possible.
Dong Wenhua
Since the beginning of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, Dong Wenhua's acting career has always been smooth sailing.
In 1989, she not only became a solo singer of the group, but also performed in several countries on behalf of China the following year.
Among them, she once represented the Chinese cultural and art circles, joined hands with the Central Song and Dance Troupe to conduct cultural exchange performances on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France in Paris, France, and sang a number of classic songs, which were warmly welcomed by the French audience.
Six years later, she won the "Wenhua Award" of the Ministry of Culture of the State Council, which is undoubtedly the highest honor for a singer.
But since the Lai incident, Dong Wenhua has suffered a calamity of innocence, and although she herself has remained silent in the face of various doubts, this has made more people convinced.
Even if Gu Jianfen and other music masters stand up to speak for her, they can't reverse the trend of public opinion for a while.
This incident caused Dong Wenhua to directly miss the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and his acting career once fell to a trough.
During this period, she fell into depression for a while, and even had thoughts of suicide, but fortunately she got out of the haze with the support and encouragement of her family.
Fortunately, five years later, Dong Wenhua decided to hold a "New Friendship Party" in Beijing, which allowed him to make an official comeback.
In 2008, she appeared on the CCTV stage again and sang the masterpiece "Spring Story", still very elegant and calm.
After the ups and downs, Dong Wenhua seems to be more open to fame and fortune, she regains her love for music and brings more touching works to the public.
She is still the beautiful singing Dong Wenhua, even after experiencing this vain disaster, Dong Wenhua still chooses to be lenient, just like she said that the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and the truth will eventually come out.
Li Guyi
Li Guyi
Li Guyi, a famous contemporary Chinese soprano who has amazed an era with her unique voice.
She entered the Hunan Provincial Song and Dance Theater at the age of 17, starring in dramas and Huagu operas in the early days, playing Tsing Yi and Danjiao, and was known as "the first beauty of Huagu Opera".
Li Guyi has attracted much attention on the opera stage for her excellent appearance, and she can always dress herself as a charming little girl to win the love of the audience.
Li Guyi's superb acting skills, coupled with outstanding appearance conditions, make her a dazzling new star on the drama stage.
In the 60s of the 20th century, Li Guyi became famous with the flower drum play "Bangs Chopping Trees".
After that, Li Guyi starred in many films reflecting the life of her hometown and the history of the revolution, and she could always integrate herself into that era and impress the audience with her emotionally rich acting skills.
These films further enhanced Li Guyi's popularity and influence in the film industry.
In 1979, Li Guyi released the lyrical song "Hometown Love" with a new form, which was a bold innovation in her musical form.
In the later period, "Hometown Love" was called "the first pop song of the Chinese mainland of the new period".
But this song, which broke the traditional pattern, was criticized by the music industry as a "quiet sound", and even banned for a time.
In the face of doubts, Li Guyi did not flinch, but insisted on his creative intentions.
Finally, "Hometown Love" was released to the public at the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, which also opened her new life in the pop music scene.
Since then, Li Guyi has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for many years, singing classics such as "Unforgettable Tonight", and has become a "must-have singer in every session".
In 1995, the American ABI Association presented Li Guyi with the gold medal of the "World Artist Outstanding Achievement Award", in recognition of her great contribution to her career in the music industry.
In 2000, Li Gu began to dabble in film and television script creation, she integrated her rich life experience into creation, and many works told the story of her hometown, showing nostalgia for her hometown.
In recent years, Li Guyi has served as a producer more, and the film she participated in in the production was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award in 2020, once again showing her achievements in literary and artistic creation.
Now 78 years old, Li Guyi continues to contribute to Chinese culture in his own way.
It is worth mentioning that teacher Li Guyi in the 2023 Spring Festival Gala was unable to participate due to physical reasons.
But before the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, she published a letter through social media, apologizing and blessing the general audience.
She explained that she could not participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala normally because she was treated in the hospital, and in order not to affect the effect of the program, she canceled the plan for the Spring Festival Gala.
Teacher Li Guyi felt very sorry that she could not sing "Unforgettable Tonight" to bless everyone at the Spring Festival Gala, so she could only express her blessings to everyone through social platforms.
I believe that many audiences also regret not seeing Teacher Li Guyi on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
However, everyone is still looking forward to Teacher Li Guyi meeting you again on the spring evening of 2024.
epilogue
The artistic path of Li Guyi, Song Zuying and Dong Wenhua was opened by them with lifelong enthusiasm and persistence.
They have been brilliant and troughs, but truly great artists can always see rainbows after storms.
We don't know how many more moving songs they will sing, but their spirit of transcending the times will surely be passed on forever.
