Outside the window, the shadows of the trees are waving, the breeze is blowing, and the 46-year-old Chen Sisi sits alone in the living room, reminding of the past. She sighed softly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
In retrospect, her life is like a melodious ballad, twists and turns, full of drama. From an innocent girl to being known as the "Queen of Folk Songs", she has written a brilliant and colorful musical chapter with her pure and moving voice.
Chen Si thought about her youth, when she was like a budding rose, exuding a charming atmosphere and attracting the attention of countless boys.
And her sister Hu Bo and good friend Yu Lanying are her most solid backing, carefully guarding this rose, for fear that she will be hurt by anyone.
At that time, Chen Sisi was lively and cheerful, a standard Hunan hot girl, and at the same time, there was no lack of gentleness and atmosphere of Jiangnan women. Her singing voice is sweet and moving, as if it can stir people's hearts.
And this pure musical talent is also destined for her to embark on a musical road full of thorns but also as bright as a galaxy in the future.
Chen Sisi took a deep breath and gently scanned every corner of the living room. This is a warm nest carefully maintained by her and her husband Shi Peng, and it is also a harbor for their family of three to live happily.
On the wall hangs a photo of the family, which is a commemorative photo after watching a parent-child movie. In the photo, their little daughter is smiling, and her innocent and cute appearance is pitiful.
Chen Sisi's college years are the most story-filled part of her youth. She is like a shining pearl and has become the focus of competition among boys throughout the campus.
Once, a boy from the Department of Physical Education was determined to conquer Yu Lanying's heart with sincerity. Every day, he would send a dollar to the girls' dormitory through the post office, hoping to get to know Chen Sisi.
In this way, he persevered for more than 20 days.
At first, Yu Lanying and the other roommates saw this, and they planned to keep the money and invite everyone to a reunion dinner. But after careful consideration, they finally chose to return the money to the physical education boy.
Although Chen Sisi didn't know all this, the boy from the physical education department was still devastated and failed to get his wish.
Under the protection of her sister Hu Bo and her good friend Yu Lanying, Chen Sisi was finally able to spend a period of peace and tranquility during her college years, and concentrate on the pursuit of her music dreams.
Whenever there is a singing competition, Chen Sisi will do her best to prepare, and her sisters Hu Bo and Yu Lanying are her most solid backing, encouraging and supporting her. Finally, when graduation was approaching, Chen Sisi chose to go to the bustling city of Shenzhen without hesitation and signed up for the famous "Lychee Vocal Competition".
With her pure and moving voice and excellent performance, Chen Sisi quickly stood out in the competition, and many well-known record companies threw olive branches for her, and she became one of the first national singers to sign a contract.
This marked her official entry into the door of professional music and the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
In Shenzhen, a metropolis full of opportunities, Chen Sisi's music career has finally stepped on the ladder to success. She met the painting master Han Yubo here, and under the careful guidance of Mr. Han, Chen Sisi's singing skills have been rapidly improved.
In 1995, Chen Sisi released his first album "Love Brother Goes to the South", which caused a sensation at home and abroad for a while. Although there was no mature digital technology to support it at the time, Chen Sisi's solid singing skills made the album famous.
The next year, she performed on Changde TV in Hunan Province, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala production team immediately invited her to perform on stage after hearing the news.
Since then, during the Spring Festival every year, the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has become a world belonging to Chen Sisi. With her sweet and touching voice, she made the audience's hearts ripple.
At this time, her parents would call friends and relatives and invite them to watch Chen Sisi's wonderful performance.
And when the lights are focused and Chen Sisi walks on the stage, her mother will pick up the camera and carefully record her daughter's every move. When the performance is over, her mother will carefully check her pulse and point out the shortcomings, hoping to make her performance more and more exquisite.
Years of stage experience have made Chen Sisi's musical attainments increasingly sophisticated. She breathes new life into traditional folk songs, incorporating more contemporary fashion elements to give them new vitality.
This unique style also attracted the attention of the famous director Zheng Xiaolong.
In 2016, Zheng Xiaolong was looking for a singer for the opening song of the TV series "The Legend of Miyue" directed by him. After chatting with Chen Sisi, he was deeply attracted by her unique spiritual temperament and found that her voice and the atmosphere of the play were just right.
So, Director Zheng took out the clips to explain to her one by one, and finally invited her to sing the opening song "Full Moon".
With a gentle and tenacious voice, Chen Sisi sang the courage and majestic power of this grand play, which won the praise of countless audiences. She used her voice to perfectly interpret the character traits of the heroine Miyue in the play, so that while the audience was appreciating the beautiful singing, they also seemed to see the peerless and ill-fated Princess Miyue suddenly come alive in front of them.
Back in time, back to Chen Sisi's youth, she has shown extraordinary musical talent since she was a child. When she was in elementary school, Chen Sisi won the championship in a national children's singing competition, which made her mother feel extremely proud and proud.
Chen Sisi's mother was also one of the famous "Four Beauties" in the local area, with a slim and delicate figure and bright eyes and beautiful face. Naturally, she is also the creator of Chen Sisi's excellent appearance genes.
After growing up, Chen Sisi was really slim, pure and beautiful, and became the focus of boys on campus. She is young and beautiful, lively and lovely, with the enthusiastic and unrestrained personality traits of a Hunan girl, and without losing the gentle and atmospheric demeanor of a Jiangnan woman, she has a unique charm.
It is not difficult to understand why there are so many boys who appreciate Chen Sisi and pursue it diligently. And her sister Hu Bo, as the "elder" in the family, is naturally strict with Chen Sisi's future partner.
Sister Hu Bo set extremely strict standards for her sister's future partner with five songs "Waiting for You to Come Back", "In the Bloom", "Together in the Sun", "I Wish People Were Long" and "Spend a Good Time Together".
She hopes that her sister can marry a perfect man who is patient, responsible, talented, and respectful of his family.
This is undoubtedly a high demand, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. From the lyrics, it can be interpreted that Hu Bo's expectations for his sister's other half are: to be able to stay together forever, be like-minded, love each other, and grow old together.
This high standard may come from her kindness as the eldest sister, but it is more likely to stem from her care for Chen Sisi's music career.
After decades of searching, Chen Sisi finally met the one she was destined to be - singer Shi Peng. The two are a match made in heaven, and their musical fate has long been destined to meet and know each other.
Shi Peng is one year younger than Chen Sisi, and he was also born in the Second Artillery Corps Art Troupe, and the two were old acquaintances on the stage in their early years. They have worked together in countless theatrical performances, and they are a perfect match.
Their works cover many fields such as operas, film and television drama interludes, folk songs, etc., all of which demonstrate their extraordinary talents and persistent pursuit of music.
In this way, acquaintance, acquaintance, and sympathy, and finally came to the last step of life - growing old together. Today, the couple has formed a warm and happy little family, and gave birth to a lovely daughter, sowing the seeds of music in the new generation.
I remember one time, Chen Sisi's family went to watch a parent-child movie activity. On that day, their daughter was dressed up beautifully, wearing a close-fitting flowing skirt and a small crown encrusted with crystals, like a princess.
When the lights dimmed and the music sounded, the little girl was like a blue wave, dancing on the stage, and her lively and lovely appearance made everyone present deeply moved.
And Chen Sisi and Shi Peng, who were sitting in the audience, looked at her with doting and happy eyes. At this moment, their faces were filled with happy smiles, and the warm family of three was happy.
Although Chen Sisi is already a well-known diva-level singer, she has never been confused by the scenery of the outside world and has always maintained a low-key style of life. Sometimes she shares some moments of her life on social media, but she never exposes her family's intimate space too much.
Whether it is a neat and neat hair style, or a soft and elegant short hair with full ears, Chen Sisi has always shown the elegant temperament of everyone's ladies and won the love of countless fans.
Her bright eyes seem to always condense the vitality and vigor of youth.
At the same time, Chen Sisi also attaches great importance to personal cultivation, and likes to use some natural fruits to care for his skin, such as watermelon, cucumber, etc., to maintain a youthful and shiny face.
Someone once praised her as "like a fairy descending from heaven", even if she is over forty years old, she still has a smart temperament and charming appearance.
Perhaps, it is this persistent pursuit of life and unremitting yearning for the music career that makes Chen Sisi exude more and more enlightening brilliance in the precipitation of the years.
Throughout Chen Sisi's entire music career, her pursuit of her career can be described as extraordinary and persevering. During Labor Day in 2023, Chen Sisi carried out a series of condolence performances across three provinces and four cities in just 24 hours, bringing artistic nourishment to the majority of employees.
As a representative artist of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe, Chen Sisi has participated in the "Culture Warmth" public welfare project for decades. She and her team members often go to grassroots units and remote and impoverished areas all over the motherland to spread the joy and warmth of music to every corner.
Due to the long-term travel and fatigue, her body has long been inadequate, but she has never given up her pursuit.
After the performance, the audience came up to ask for a group photo and autograph, and Chen Sisi always responded with joy. Sometimes the honest farmer uncle would hand over a bouquet of wildflowers stained with dirt, and Chen Sisi would take it, sniffing the fragrance solemnly, with a happy smile on his face.
It is this love of life and dedication to the cause that makes Chen Sisi always maintain a young and energetic face and a dedicated work attitude. At home, she often plays the role of a well-behaved and obedient daughter.
But once she enters the workplace, she will change her face instantly, agile and decisive, spicy and violent, and she will never see the meekness of her daughter's family again.
Once on the stage, Chen Sisi accidentally fell from a high platform and suffered multiple abrasions all over his body. But even the medical staff were shocked by her carefree reaction, and she rightly blamed the whole accident on her own carelessness, and stressed that she must continue to perform and never disappoint the audience's expectations.
In the face of the organizer's dissuasion, she categorically refused, directly on the stage on crutches, and performed a moving movement with her life.
This dedication to the music career stems from Chen Sisi's inner love and pursuit of art. She often admonishes herself that she must not be fooled by the temptations of reality and must maintain her inner innocence.
Even if she encounters many thorns and tribulations on the road of music, she will never give up her dream, even if it is just to find that ray of light.
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Sisi has been obedient to his parents. But only when it came to studying medicine, she showed unprecedented stubbornness and rejection. Born with a fear of needles and blood, she developed a deep fear of medicine and preferred to turn her back on her father's expectations and choose her musical dreams.
It was this vigorous flame of artistic pursuit that finally ignited Chen Sisi's brilliant musical path. Today, she has become a treasure of Chinese national music, passing on this precious cultural heritage from generation to generation.
Even if the years fly by, her singing stage will never end, and her singing will always resound in every corner of the motherland.
