On June 27, 1960, Lu Jihong was born in Tianshui City, Gansu Province, a quiet place known as the "Northwest Jiangnan". Although his family is not well-off, the bond between him and his family weaves warm and touching memories.
As the youngest child in the family, Lu Jihong naturally became the pearl of the whole family. Although his parents loved him deeply, they were never soft on educating their children.
Lu Jihong still remembers clearly that his father always sternly warned them not to covet small profits, not to accept gifts from others, to be polite in dealing with others, and to be severely punished even for the slightest mistake.
Although as the youngest son in the family, Lu Jihong did not enjoy his father's doting, but grew up in a strict education, but he did not resent it. On the contrary, his father's strict teachings had a positive and far-reaching impact on him.
It was because of this rigorous family education that the five siblings each made their mark in the field of music. The foundation of Lu Jihong's musical attainments is also inseparable from the careful guidance of his family.
His uncle taught him to sing, his uncle taught him erhu, his sister accompanied him to practice dulcimer, and his brother led him to learn trumpet... Under the influence of such an environment, the teenager Lu Jihong never slackened off in his studies and art.
In 1978, 18-year-old Lu Jihong was admitted to the vocal music department of Xi'an Conservatory of Music and officially embarked on the road of music. Gifted and studious, he soon made a name for himself in the music industry.
In 1981, at the age of 21, Lu Jihong was hired by the Gansu Provincial Song and Dance Troupe as the main tenor.
In the group, Lu Jihong's outstanding voice and spirit of hard work are favored by colleagues and leaders. Affluent living conditions followed, and he was assigned a spacious two-bedroom suite.
It was during this period that the famous director Ms. Wang Kun took a fancy to Lu Jihong's extraordinary talent and strongly encouraged him to bravely march into the capital Beijing and climb to the top of music.
Lu Jihong, who had great ambitions in his heart, soon left the familiar town without hesitation and embarked on a new journey to the music palace.
Lu Jihong, who had just arrived in Beijing, had nothing but to live in a cramped basement and make a living by stir-frying instant noodles. However, the harsh environment did not shake his persistent love for music.
As Confucius said, "Only by being in a place where you cannot survive can you discover the will to live; Falling into the situation of death can stimulate the instinct to survive.
Opportunity always favors those who give it their all. Perhaps it is precisely because of this experience of lonely struggle that Lu Jihong's unique singing talent has been shaped. In 1989, this young man who had worked hard in a small basement finally succeeded in joining the famous Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe with his outstanding performance, and since then he has stepped into the center of the stage of life.
During his time in the Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe, Lu Jihong frequently won awards in heavyweight competitions. In 1990, he won the triple crown of the professional group of the 4th National Young Singer "Wuzhou Cup" TV Grand Prix of CCTV.
Only two years later, in 1992, Lu Jihong once again showed his extraordinary strength, winning the runner-up in the same competition, and in the same year, he also won the first prize of the highest level of the 6th All-Army Literary and Art Performance, as well as the champion of the "92" Chinese National Vocal Competition.
With his moving voice and excellent singing talent, Lu Jihong has gradually emerged in the field of music, and his beautiful singing voice has penetrated into the hearts of the audience like spring breeze and rain.
Soon, this singer with extraordinary strength frequently appeared on the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, dedicating an audio-visual feast to the audience.
Lu Jihong, who is now in his sixtieth year, is still active on the stage. On Chinese New Year's Eve 2022, the advanced age once again joined hands with Zhang Ye on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and jointly performed the theme song "Our Times".
Lu Jihong's voice is high-pitched and impassioned, and Zhang Ye is full of voices, and the vocal ensemble is shocking and wins bursts of applause.
In addition to focusing on the music career, Lu Jihong also actively participates in public welfare condolence activities. Over the years, he has been traveling around with CCTV's "Heart to Heart" art team, bringing warmth and strength to the people in the disaster area and the border officers and soldiers.
Behind the singing and crying artistic life, there is a sad experience that no one knows. In 1993, just when Lu Jihong's career was in full swing and shining, his father unfortunately fell seriously ill, and his condition worsened too quickly, and he couldn't even see the last face.
Guilt and pain shrouded Lu Jihong's heart, and this irreparable regret will forever become a thorn in his heart.
"In my mother's old age, I would personally cook for her every day so that she could taste the warmth of family. Recalling this past, Lu Jihong said affectionately.
As an only child with no children and no daughters, Lu Jihong has never been able to realize his parents' greatest wish - to see him start a family and have a full house of children.
Until the moment of his mother's death, this childhood baby son was still alone. Lu Jihong said frankly that he lived up to his parents' ardent expectations for his marriage and became an eternal regret in his heart.
Ill-fated, shortly after his mother's death, Lu Jihong also became completely alone. In this world, two of his closest people died one after another, and the separation of yin and yang gave him a heavy blow.
The warm home of the past can no longer be lit by the lamp waiting for his return, but replaced by boundless loneliness and sorrow.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Jihong is over half a hundred years old. Despite his successful career, living alone made him feel lonely like never before. Whenever he sees the happy families of relatives and friends, Lu Jihong will feel a lot of feelings, and his yearning for marriage will become stronger and stronger.
Gradually, he began to realize how lonely and helpless it was to live alone. In order to seek the warmth and shelter of the family, forming his own small family has become the most urgent desire in Lu Jihong's heart.
As a result, he has publicly solicited marriage in public many times, and has also made clear requirements for the conditions of his favorite object.
Lu Jihong hopes to find a woman who can play an important role and is also good at cooking in the kitchen, and who already has her own property and car. It can be said that this single singer has been extremely cautious and cautious in dealing with marriage issues.
Time passed year by year, and before he knew it, Lu Jihong had entered the ranks of old age. However, despite his age, the innocent and persistent side of his heart has never changed.
In getting along with his friend Lu Wei, the respected artist still shows a playful and lively side, and frequently makes fun of Lu Wei's southern accent, causing bursts of laughter.
What is touching is that even at the last moment of his life, Lu Jihong's mother is still thinking about his marriage, and this concern is undoubtedly the voice of parents all over the world.
Facing the death of his mother, Lu Jihong once again felt unprecedented loneliness and grief. This time, he finally fully understood the preciousness and rarity of family affection.
In Lu Jihong's bumpy artistic career, he once formed an indissoluble bond with an outstanding soprano singer Zhang Ye. In 2001, the two performed together for the first time, which attracted the attention of countless audiences.
Their combination is affectionately known as the "Panda Combination", and their tacit cooperation and moving chorus have won praise for their tacit cooperation.
With the increase in the number of cooperation, the relationship between Lu Jihong and Zhang Ye has also deepened. Holding hands and interpreting the sweet and beautiful melody with their voices, every look and movement of the two on the stage reveals the emotional bond of the soul.
Although both parties have never responded positively to the existence of affection, the audience sees them as a natural pair of lovers.
Lu Jihong and Zhang Ye can be said to have a good heart, and they hate to see each other late. Some media even directly reported that Lu Jihong had proposed to Zhang Ye, and the two were about to enter the marriage hall.
However, so far, the outside world has not yet known whether the two have achieved positive results.
It is undeniable that even if they are not married, the cooperation on the road is enough to make people talk. Music is a catalyst for affection, and the "Panda Couple" who fight side by side on stage are undoubtedly the best partners.
