Dinge was born into a family of opera artists who were steeped in traditional arts. Her ancestors founded the famous Chu Opera Troupe, and her mother, who was also an opera actress, met the man who would later become Dingge's father in a play.
Growing up in such an environment, Dinger was permeated with a love for the art of opera from an early age. Since she was a child, she has been practicing basic kung fu under the guidance of her parents, whether it is dismounting or forking, these movements have become proficient for her, who has been touring with her parents since she was a child, and have become the norm in life.
However, fate opened the door for Dinger to another artistic realm. One year, during the Chinese New Year, Dinger and his mother spent happy time together, and it was rare to be able to hang around.
Inadvertently, she heard a touching Huangmei opera coming from the stereo. In an instant, this melodious melody hit Dinger's heart, and she felt a love for Huangmei Opera in her heart, but she didn't tell anyone.
However, the considerate mother on the side noticed the small details of her daughter, and without hesitation, she bought a classic record called "Huangmei Opera Daquan" for her.
From that day on, Dinger listened to and studied the record day after day, and soon memorized all the tracks on it and was able to hum it proficiently.
In her spare time, she would even wear her mother's hair accessories as a costume, drape her bed sheets into water sleeves, imitate singing by herself, and perform Huangmei Opera alone in her room.
Whenever there is a cultural activity in the school, Dinger will choose to perform Huangmei opera, and her graceful singing voice can always impress all the audience present, winning bursts of applause and cheers.
In this way, with the encouragement of his family and teachers, Dinger, who was only 12 years old, resolutely made a major life choice. Faced with the choice of inheriting the family tradition of Chu Opera or following the path of Huangmei Opera that she loves in her heart, she firmly chose the latter: "I want to choose the Huangmei Opera that I can love deeply at the first ear!" In this way, with her love for Huangmei Opera, she came to Anhui Huangmei Opera School and started a new journey of her artistic practice.
After entering the Anhui Huangmei Opera School, Dingge's road to Huangmei Opera was not smooth. Due to her young age and the fact that she has not yet entered the period of voice change, she has been subject to many restrictions in stage performance.
But rather than be discouraged, Dinger became more determined to pursue his artistic dreams.
Unlike other peers, Dinger spent most of his time in school, between classrooms, dormitories, and cafeterias, and rarely returned to a warm family.
Her life was monotonous and fulfilling, training and learning day in and day out. Occasionally, classmates and friends would cry in the dormitory, telling them how much they missed their hometown, but Dinger never showed the slightest weakness in front of others, and always had a resolute face.
Although the professional teachers were worried that too much training would hurt her immature voice, Dinger still devoted himself to it, with great enthusiasm and dedication to Huangmei Opera.
Due to age restrictions, she can't freely choose to play her favorite roles, and can only be assigned to some small roles with few scenes. But even so, whenever he performs on stage, Dinger will go all out and devote himself wholeheartedly, as if he is the protagonist, and interpret his own work with the greatest enthusiasm.
The turning point came in 2009, when the 15-year-old Ding Ge completed his studies at the Huangmei Opera School in Anhui Province and joined the Huangmei Opera Theater in Anqing City.
At the beginning, she could only play some small supporting roles on the stage, playing roles such as a lowly maid. Dandinger never saw this as a grievance, but instead seized every opportunity to show himself.
After hard work and perseverance, she finally got the opportunity to perform as a solo dancer and won the championship in a competition with an outstanding performance. There was an original author of the play at the scene, who was highly praised at the time: "The whole world wants to hear your version!" This is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and encouragement for Dinger.
The transition out of your comfort zone and toward a higher purpose doesn't stop there. Soon, Dinger joined the Huangmei Theatre Troupe in Hubei. There, she met a mentor who led the actors in training with the bel canto method.
Despite a period of stumbling through the adaptation process, Dinger's voice has changed and improved significantly during that time, sounding brighter and more moving.
Unfortunately, this wonderful experience lasted less than two months, and everyone lost their enthusiasm for the project, leaving only Dinger, who remained with it. Faced with the helplessness of the forced termination of the project, she never gave up the pursuit of Huangmei Opera, but the stage that really belonged to her in those years was too rare.
Just as Dinger was gradually gaining a foothold in the troupe, the new crown epidemic suddenly hit in 2020, and all the performance activities of the troupe had to press the pause button.
In order to seek a breakthrough and strive for the opportunity of front-line exposure, the troupe was forced to make a bold attempt - to switch to the Internet and open the live broadcast mode.
When the troupe solicited candidates for live broadcast anchors from all the actors, to everyone's surprise, compared with the younger teammates, Dinger, an old actor who is over 26 years old, took the initiative to stand up and took on the responsibility of live broadcast without hesitation.
"If the troupe believes in me, then I have to give it my all. Dinger said to everyone in a lost voice.
Despite his lack of experience and lack of large-scale promotion, Dinger's daily live broadcasts, which range from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., always attract more than 100 viewers.
Her unique approach to live streaming immediately attracted attention – purely focused on Huangmei opera performances, one microphone per person, and nothing else fancy to the entertainment.
This highly focused and professional performance was an immediate response to the outspoken feedback from the audience. Some people pointed out that her singing skills were unfamiliar, her image was flawed, and so on, but Dinger humbly accepted it and began to correct it.
The audience also challenged the audience with a variety of difficult repertoire, from other regional genres to masterful original works, without exception, Dinger would study them one by one and do his best.
When she encounters difficulties, she will take the initiative to ask the senior masters for advice, and treat every feedback like a treasure.
Dinger has touched more and more audiences with this persistent focus. The popularity is increasing day by day, and a live broadcast during the peak period attracted up to 30,000 simultaneous views.
Her unique artistic charm has deeply attracted the favor of theater fans and fashion trendsetters from all walks of life, and even some doctors who have entered retirement are immersed in her tactful singing voice, becoming fans of the live broadcast of the New Year.
Through Douyin, a new platform, Dinger not only gained unprecedented exposure, but also opened a new era in her career. In just two years, she has accumulated a whopping 24 in the live broadcast room. 80,000 loyal fans, and the number of likes is as high as 84. 90,000 times.
Every time she smiles in front of the camera, or performs a Huangmei tone with affection, the audience's cheers and rewards will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
The continuous growth of live broadcast revenue has also given Dinger the strength to purchase a number of professional-grade equipment to further improve the quality of live broadcast. She hopes that through high-quality sound effects and visual effects, the live effects of Huangmei Opera can be perfectly presented to the audience, making people feel as if they are immersed in the scene.
On the troupe side, Dinger's performance was equally impressive. With her excellent live broadcast performance and improving singing skills, she soon jumped from an unknown supporting role to the deputy head of the theater, and her career reached new heights.
Whether it is the troupe's public performances, various commercial promotion projects, or Dinger's once-dreamed invitation to large-scale plays, she is now inseparable from her figure.
What's even more exhilarating is that the live stream creates a steady stream of practice opportunities that will take Dinger to the next level on the path of the performing arts. After a long period of live performances, she has gradually developed a new vocal technique, and her voice has become brighter and more moving.
In the high register, she is also becoming more and more proficient, which makes all the audience applaud.
The wonderful solo dances and difficult opera performances staged in the live broadcast room countless times are endlessly evocative, and also let the audience see Dinger's increasing progress.
