In the spring evening stage of the spring festival gala at the beginning of the century, there was always a singer with long hair fluttering and standing to pull erhu, and she was Mei Jia. In the seven years from 1998 to 2005, Meijia stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala six times and can be described as a regular guest of the Spring Festival Gala.
But such a singer, speaking of today, not many people remember.
Mei Jia, formerly known as Huang Junqian, was born in 1968 in an ordinary family in Nanjing, and her father was a demobilized soldier.
From the age of 5, Mei Jia was sent by her father to learn to pull erhu, and her parents wanted girls to have one more skill, and it would be easier to find a job in the future.
But Mei Jia didn't want to pull erhu, she wanted to dance, like her cousin Zhou Jie. Zhou Jie's mother and Mei Jia's mother are a pair of sisters, but one is married in Shanghai and the other is in Nanjing.
At that time, Zhou Jie was only a teenager, although she had not yet become famous, but she was already famous in school, and various literary and artistic activities were indispensable to her figure, which made Mei Jia very envious.
Practicing is a very boring and hard thing, often sitting and pulling for an hour or two, adults do not necessarily have this patience, let alone a child of several years old.
Therefore, Mei Jia often practiced, and as soon as she threw the piano, she sat on the side and cried. Hit also beaten, scolded and scolded, Mei Jia is still like this, always can't give up halfway like this.
In order to make Mei Jia feel at ease to pull the erhu well, her parents invited Zhou Jie as a lobbyist.
Although the difference is 7 years, there are still many common topics between the sisters.
As mentioned earlier, Mei Jia's erhu was enlightened by Rui Xiaozhu, and Rui Xiaozhu's teacher, Ma Youde, according to the cross-talk industry, Mei Jia attracted the attention of Shi Zu.
Finally, Zhou Jie also promised Mei Jia that in the future, the sisters would perform together on stage, and Mei Jia would play the piano and dance with her.
The young Mei Jia seemed to understand it, but as soon as she thought of being able to perform on the same stage with Zhou Jie's sister, she consciously went to pull erhu.
Mei Jia's father also attaches great importance to the cultivation of his daughter, and he invited Rui Xiaozhu of Nanjing University of the Arts to enlighten Mei Jia.
Rui Xiaozhu studied under Master Ma Youde, a famous erhu player in China, who has trained many erhu players, which can be described as peach and plum all over the world, and Rui Xiaozhu is one of them.
Under the careful cultivation of Teacher Rui, Mei Jia's erhu performance level soared, and by the age of 8, she could already pull out many erhu famous songs such as "Erquan Yingyue" and "A Branch of Flowers", etc. Unconsciously, Mei Jia also fell in love with erhu.
In addition to La Erhu, Mei Jia did not forget to learn dance, and she became a member of the Nanjing "Little Red Flower" art troupe.
By the age of 12, Mei Jia encountered her first multiple choice problem.
Mei Jia's erhu performance already has a certain foundation and is very talented, which has attracted the attention of Professor Ma Youde, an outstanding erhu player at Nanjing University of the Arts.
Ma Youde persuaded Mei Jia to apply for the Nanjing Academy of Arts, but Mei Jia wanted to become a soldier more, because being a soldier could go to the front line.
In the end, Mei Jia did not go to Nanyi, but chose to become a literary and artistic soldier in the army's cultural and industrial corps.
After joining the army, Mei Jia not only played erhu as an actor, but also grew into an excellent dancer because of her excellent professional qualities. First the group dance, and then the lead dance. Dancing dream, Mei Jia finally realized in the army.
A month after enlisting in the army, Mei Jia and many friends sat on the stuffy tank truck, and after seven or eight days of bumps, they arrived at the front line.
Rehearsal programs, to the cat ear hole condolence performance, has become Mei Jia's daily life, eight years of military career, so that Mei Jia is very fulfilling, but also slowly understand a lot.
In 1988, Mei Jia returned from the army. At that time, Zhou Jie was already a well-known dancer in the country, and she set up her own company in Shanghai and warmly invited Mei Jia to Shanghai.
After arriving in Shanghai, Mei Jia temporarily left the stage and began to help Zhou Jie take care of some of the company's daily life.
But Mei Jia is not a good businessman, although she is taking care of fashion, but her heart has always been empty. Although it has been a long time since she left the stage, she still misses her yearning.
Zhou Jie also seems to see through Mei Jia's thoughts, and she looks for help from friends in the music circle to help Mei Jia find opportunities.
In 1991, Mei Jia sang the ending theme song "I want to go home" for the TV series "Shenzhen People" and filmed the MV.
Starring Tao Zeru and Zuo Ling, "Shenzhen People" tells the story of a family going to Shenzhen to work hard, showing the spiritual outlook of Shenzhen people under the background of the big times.
At that time, Shenzhen, as the window of reform and opening up, was the object of attention in the mainland, and after the broadcast of "Shenzhen People", it caused a great response from the audience, and Mei Jia was also famous for this song.
It was also in this year that Mei Jia changed her original name to Huang Junxi to Mei Jia, and she was ready to perform on stage.
In order to let the outside world know herself as soon as possible, Meijia frequently participated in various singing competitions in the early 90s.
In 1994, Mei Jia participated in the second "Huacheng Cup" Chinese Music Television Competition and eventually won the silver award, but the gold content of this award was not very high.
That year, the competition awarded 15 gold awards, 26 silver awards, 35 bronze awards, Sun Yue's "Wish You Peace", Lin Yilun's "Love Bird" and other songs, which were launched by that competition.
At that time, China Music Television (MTV) was in its infancy, and many film directors had also participated in the filming and production of MTV, and the more famous ones were Zhang Guoguo.
Zhang Guoli's first film was "The Great Wall", which attracted a lot of attention despite the very simple picture. After that, Na Ying's "Seeing Flowers in the Mist" and Tu Honggang's "Farewell to the Overlord" and so on were all from Zhang Guoguo's hand.
But no matter what, Mei Jia has entered the music circle, although there is no fame yet, but the opportunity soon came.
In 1996, Mei Jia received a phone call from the famous musician Liu Qing, who invited Mei Jia to Beijing to audition for songs.
Liu Qing is a national first-class composer who has created more than 900 musical works, of which more than 200 have won awards in various competitions. More well-known songs such as "How are you", "Five-star Red Flag", "Home and Wanshixing", "Long live the motherland", "Mountains do not turn water", "Wish you peace", etc., are all from Liu Qing's hand.
In the 1990s, Liu Qing was one of the most popular composers among singers, basically Liu Qing's songs, even if they were not popular, would win awards, which showed Liu Qing's creative level.
Mei Jia, as a newcomer in the music industry, was naturally flattered when she received this call.
After arriving in Beijing, Mei Jia found that there were still many people trying to sing, and several of them were already relatively famous at that time. Seeing this battle, after Mei Jia auditioned, she did not have much hope.
But a week later, Mei Jia received a call from Liu Qing again, and she was hired. Not only was he hired, but he also had to shoot MTV, which was fortunate and good news, which made Mei Jia excited for several days.
After MTV came out, everyone recognized Mei Jia as Zhou Jie, and in the eyes of many people, these two sisters are too similar.
"Metropolis" is a hit, Mei Jia is also familiar with everyone, she finally mixed in the music industry.
In 1998, at the party for the first anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Mei Jia sang the song "Standing on a High Post" with Zhang Huimei and Xie Yuxin; and sang the song "Great China" with Mao Ning, Tu Honggang and others.
After that, Mei Jia's "Yan Guan Ni" also became popular.
It was also in this year that Mei Jia appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, singing songs with Gan Ping and Ji Hong. It also opened the highlight moment of her six Spring Festival Gala.
In 1999, he sang "Spring Warm Flowers"; in 2001, he sang "New Year" with others; in 2003, he sang "Good People and Good Dreams" with Black Duck Group and Chen Ming, in 2004, he sang "Chinatown" with Sha Baoliang, and in 2005, he sang "Between neighbors" with Cai Guoqing and others.
Among them, in 2004, Sha Baoliang and Mei Jia sang "Chinatown" on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and were also praised by the media as the partners of "Golden Boy and Jade Girl".
Long hair fluttering, standing while singing while pulling erhu, is the shape of Mei Jia on many occasions. And this shape is also due to the design of the famous composer Bian Liuli. Mei Jia's first song was also written with the help of Bian Liunian.
Bian Liunian is the music director of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, also under Ma Youde, and composed songs such as "Happy Today", "Yugong Moving Mountains", "Happy Chinese New Year", "Good Mood", "Long Live Youth" and so on.
To receive Bian Liu's personal guidance, Mei Jia was very lucky.
Although she is a regular visitor to the Spring Festival Gala and has high people around to point out, Mei Jia has not been popular, in the final analysis, it is because Mei Jia does not have a song with a high degree of singing.
The earliest rumor was that she met a Chinese abroad, and the two talked about cross-border romance for more than a year, but then the two broke up, and Mei Jia cut off her long hair for many years.
Coupled with Mei Jia's non-professional origin, she inevitably has flaws in singing skills, which also affects her to a certain extent.
After the Spring Festival Gala on june, Mei Jia has successively produced singles such as "Jiangnan Rain" and "Why So Tired", "Love Chocolate" and other albums, for publicity, Mei Jia is also very dedicated, at that time, the media, often have the name of Mei Jia, although the publicity is good, but Mei Jia has slowly disappeared in the public eye.
Until 2016, Han Xue was exposed to suspected marriage and children, and Han Xue's mysterious other half was picked up by netizens who had been in love with Mei Jia for many years, and once came to talk about marriage, but later it was gone.
Why there is this rumor, and Mei Jialiu on the Spring Festival Gala, Han Xue seamless docking is not unrelated.
In 2007, Han Xue first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and sang a song solo by himself; in 2008 and 2009, he cooperated with famous sketch actors, and the resources were not generally good.
But the authenticity of this rumor is debatable.
Mei Jia has been debuting for many years, and feelings have always been a mystery.
But Mei Jia cut off her long hair, the actual situation is to change the image of the new album, even the name is ready to change, and finally because of the opposition of fans, the name has not been changed, and the hair has not been cut.
In 2014, Meijia took her daughter to participate in a variety show, and everyone found out that Meijia originally had a son, a daughter and two children. The son is in his twenties, named Chen Kai, an actor who has acted in some TV dramas, but his popularity is very low.
But who Mei Jia's other half is is still a mystery.
When Mei Jia became famous, her son was only a few years old, so in the process of her son's growth, Mei Jia accompanied her less.
After the birth of her daughter, in order not to let her daughter's childhood leave a regret, Mei Jia put down her work to concentrate on taking her daughter, until her daughter was older, and then slowly began to take over the work.
In 2019, Mei Jia, as a special guest of Bian's souvenir, appeared in a certain program, and everyone was surprised to find that Mei Jia, who was just over 50 years old, had no star flavor on her body.
Tagore said: "The sky has left no trace of wings, but I have flown.
Speaking of Meijia today, few people can remember. Although "Yan GuanNi" and netizens can sing, Mei Jia has become a thing of the past in the rolling torrent of the times.
