"Li Guyi and "Unforgettable Tonight" are the memories of the Spring Festival Gala. ”
In 2023, "Unforgettable Tonight", known as the "finale" of the Spring Festival Gala, will be absent this year.
Unconsciously, the song "Unforgettable Tonight" sung by teacher Li Guyi has gone through nearly 40 spring and autumn with the audience.
once endured the grief of his lover's death, but he insisted on singing on stage, but now he is absent for personal reasons.
What happened made the 78-year-old Li Guyi "disappear" from then on.
The Spring Festival Gala turned over
In 1983, this was the first year that the Spring Festival Gala was held, and it was also the first year that Li Guyi accompanied the audience to spend the Spring Festival Gala.
This year, the party adopted the method of audience singing for singers to sing.
And Li Guyi also successfully turned over at this party, which was completely popular all over the country.
Throughout the party, she sang a total of 9 songs;
Among them, her controversial work "Hometown Love" won the first place in the audience voting of the party.
"Hometown Love", released in 1980, is too "lyrical and tactful" because of the music style;
Contrary to the "tough and high-pitched" advocated by the music industry at that time, this song was more like a challenge to the music scene.
After the release of this song, criticism from the outside world also came, but Li Guyi didn't care and didn't change a word about this song.
The music industry heard about Li Guyi's tough posture, and even threatened to ban this song.
For a while, Li Guyi stood on the cusp of the storm, and he was accidentally beaten and wore a "high hat".
It is conceivable that Huang Yihe, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala in 1983;
Under so much pressure, Li Guyi was allowed to sing this song "Hometown Love" on stage.
As soon as the ban on "Forbidden Songs" was lifted, it received countless praises, and Li Guyi's creative talent was also recognized by the audience.
In the 40 years since, Li Guyi has never been absent from a Spring Festival Gala recording.
Even in 2021, it was only a few months since her husband's death;
Li Guyi was still immersed in the grief of her husband's death at this time.
She still appeared at the end of the Spring Festival Gala on time, singing "Unforgettable Tonight" for the people of the whole country.
She and her husband once met together to the end of their lives, but now only Li Guyi is left, spending her old age alone.
But when she mentioned her husband, she always said with tears in her eyes: "I am ashamed of my husband, I am ashamed of my family." ”
What has Li Guyi done over the years, and is her guilt for her family related to her two marriages?
Teacher-student love
Li Guyi's first marriage took place in 1966.
At this time, Li Guyi has successfully "got out of the circle" with the flower drum drama "Mending the Pot".
But she is not satisfied with this, she wants to achieve something in her singing career.
This year, Li Guyi came to Beijing with the troupe, wanting to seek more development opportunities.
But after coming here, Li Guyi's singing career is still stagnant.
Until 1971, she was successfully admitted to the Central Orchestra;
Here she met her master Jin Tielin, and thus ushered in a turning point in her career.
At this time, the Central Orchestra brought together outstanding singers from all over the country, and Li Guyi was not very good in it.
But her voice was in good condition, and she was quickly noticed by Jin Tielin.
At that time, Jin Tielin, with his excellent singing ability, had become a well-known figure in the orchestra.
When he saw Li Guyi for the first time, he was amazed by Li Guyi's voice.
"It's a pity that this voice doesn't sing. ”
Subsequently, he took Li Guyi as an apprentice, and began devil training for Li Gu.
Although Jin Tielin smiles all day long and looks very talkative, he is actually a very strict teacher.
And Li Guyi, as his first student, is naturally the first experiment of the "golden teaching method";
At the same time, it is also the first beneficiary.
In terms of Li Guyi's musical achievements in this life;
Jin Tielin's teaching method is obviously extremely effective.
In 1999, Li Guyi obtained dual certification from CCTV and MTV;
She was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
"Hometown Love", "My Motherland and Me", "Unforgettable Tonight" and many other well-known excellent works;
has made Mr. Li Guyi a milestone in the Chinese music scene.
And the two have been getting along for a long time, and they have slowly cultivated a relationship.
After expressing their hearts to each other, the two quickly got married.
After marriage, the two lived a sweet and happy life, and then, happiness slowly changed and contradictions began to appear.
Li Gu has always wanted to have a child after getting married, but the two have been preparing for pregnancy for a long time but have not moved.
Then, because the two were busy with their respective careers, they always got together less and left more;
The two drifted apart, and this marriage came to an end.
After the divorce, Li Guyi devoted himself to his career again.
Then, "Unforgettable Tonight" made her meet the love of her life.
Second Spring
In 1984, Li Guyi appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the second time.
This time, she brought a newly composed song - "Unforgettable Tonight";
As soon as this song was sung, it immediately became popular all over the country.
And Xiao Zhuo, as a senior fan of Li Guyi, was even more excited when he heard this song, and was completely fascinated by Li Guyi.
After that, as long as he had the conditions, he would follow Li Guyi all over the country;
Wherever Li Guyi's activities are held, he will be there.
Gradually, Li Guyi also remembered this senior fan, and was slowly moved by him.
In 1976, the two walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
After marriage, the two were even more honey and oil, and in the second year after marriage, Li Guyi came with the good news of pregnancy.
Ten months later, Li Gu gave birth to a daughter and named her Xiao Yi.
Li Guyi, whose family is getting more and more happy, also wants his singing career to go to the next level.
But when I saw my young daughter, I couldn't bear to leave my job.
But her husband Xiao Zhuo was very supportive of her pursuing her career.
He said that his favorite thing was the way Li Guyi stood on the stage, and she seemed to be shining at that time.
And with the silent support of her husband behind her, Li Guyi was able to continue to create on the road of music.
After that, Li Guyi ushered in the second peak of his career, but he also became busier.
She often went away from home for months while she was busy with her business, but her husband never blamed her.
No matter how strong and glamorous a strong woman is outside, she also needs the comfort of her family when she returns home.
Fortunately, she has a husband who understands her.
She dedicates her time and energy to her career and the audience, but rarely leaves anything for her husband and daughter.
The daughter could not understand her mother for a while, and even resented her.
She deliberately did not call her mother in front of Li Guyi, and called Li Guyi "Teacher Li".
Li Gu couldn't get angry when he heard it, and could only touch his daughter's head.
But turning around in a place where others can't see, she will cry silently again.
She originally wanted to quit the music scene to make up for her family after she couldn't sing.
But she forgot that time doesn't stand still and wait for anyone.
On May 29, 2020, her husband Xiao Zhuo passed away.
She can't make up for the debt she owes to her husband in her life.
It became a thorn in her throat, and every time she thought about it, she felt that it was hard to swallow.
Later life
Now, her daughter Xiao Yi has grown up slowly and has understood her mother's inner struggles;
She can already use her greatest patience to understand and tolerate her mother.
I believe that with her daughter's understanding and companionship, Li Guyi can also get out of the haze of her husband's death as soon as possible.
Regarding what netizens are concerned about, Li Guyi's absence from the 2023 Spring Festival Gala;
On January 21, 2023, Li Guyi himself issued a response to the matter.
said that he was unable to participate in the recording due to illness, and expressed regret for his absence from the 40th anniversary of the Spring Festival Gala.
A few months later, some netizens met 78-year-old teacher Li Guyi at the airport;
Li Guyi, who has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, has started a peaceful daily life again.
Hearing the news of Mr. Li Guyi again, netizens were also very excited;
They left messages on the Internet, "I wish Mr. Li Guyi good health and early health." ”
And CCTV host Zhang Zequn also spoke the audience's voice;
"I hope that in the 2024 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, Mr. Li Guyi can sing "Unforgettable Tonight" again. ”
epilogue
Teacher Li Guyi is the youthful memory of several generations, and her surface brilliance is created by countless hard work and tears behind her.
After decades of ups and downs, the only thing that has not changed is Mr. Li Guyi's pursuit of music.
I hope that her old age can be happy and healthy, and she can accompany the audience to spend more "Unforgettable Tonight".
