Preface
Yu Kuizhi, a giant in the Peking Opera industry, has a charming style and a brilliant career. How poignant is the story behind it? How did he rise from poverty? How did he persevere in the face of the responsibilities of three families? Is his success just a glimmer on the stage?
Yu Kuizhi: Three families were raised, and one person supported the sky
Yu Kuizhi, let's take stock of his life. In 1992, he and his wife Liang Yiwei held a simple but warm wedding in Beijing, but the Peking Opera market at that time was not fun, and Yu Kuizhi was pole dancing between family and career!
They live a simple life, living in a tube building, and even have to put their plans to have children on hold, oops, life is difficult! In 1996, there was finally a turning point! The unit was divided into two bedrooms for them, and they finally had their own little world, and they also welcomed their lovely son Yu Yongliang!
The good times did not last long, Mrs. Liang's mother suffered from eye diseases and breast cancer one after another, and Yu Kuizhi silently endured the pressure of the family alone. Not only did he spend all his savings, but he also traveled back and forth between Beijing, Hong Kong and Shenyang many times, which was really hard!
Even so, he has never complained, and has always stuck to his post in Beijing, trying to create more economic income for his family.
Speaking of his parents, his father had serious sequelae due to a sudden cerebral infarction, but Yu Kuizhi still gritted his teeth and insisted, shuttling back and forth to take care of his parents. As for Liang Yiwei, she has been silently supporting Yu Kuizhi and has never complained, giving him a warm little harbor in his heart.
With the passage of time, Yu Kuizhi's career has also taken off, he has become the vice president and artistic director of the China Peking Opera Company, and has also created a high-profile golden partner team!
And hey, don't think that his career achievements have stopped, he also posted a photo of a family of three on social platforms to clarify those rumors, this is true love!
Now, although he has reached the age of retirement, he is still obliged to take on the role of the head teacher of the graduate class and contribute his strength to the cause of Peking Opera in the motherland.
Isn't this kind of Yu Kuizhi admirable? He lived as a haven for three families and supported a happy little world with his own strength! This story tells us that no matter how difficult life is, as long as we have a firm heart and dare to work hard, we will definitely be able to create our own glory!
A legend on the stage of Peking Opera: Yu Kuizhi
Yu Kuizhi's artistic career is like a wonderful epic, and every chapter is full of deep love and unremitting pursuit of Peking Opera.
Yu Kuizhi's artistic journey began in 1987, when he won the Best Performance Award at the National Young Peking Opera Performers TV Grand Prix for his deep understanding of the role and superb performance skills as a young Peking Opera performer. This honor not only laid a solid foundation for his future artistic career, but also indicated that he would become a rising star in the Peking Opera industry.
With the passage of time, Yu Kuizhi's artistic attainments have deepened. In 1990, he won the Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Theatre, the highest honor in the Chinese theatre industry. This award symbolizes his outstanding achievements in the field of Peking Opera art and the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture.
Then, in 1991, he won the first place in the National Television Grand Prix for Young and Middle-aged Peking Opera Performers, further consolidating his position as a leading figure in the Peking Opera industry.
In 1993, Yu Kuizhi stood out in the Mei Lanfang Gold Award Competition and won the first place in the Shengjiao group. In this year, he not only achieved great artistic success, but also had a wide influence in the Peking Opera industry and beyond.
His performance style is unique, combining traditional Peking Opera singing methods with vocal science methods, forming his own unique singing style, which has injected new vitality into the development of Peking Opera art.
In the new century, Yu Kuizhi's artistic achievements have been accumulating. In 2003, he was awarded the China Golden Record Award for his outstanding contributions to the field of music. In 2008, his performance project was awarded the National Outstanding Stage Art Project Award, which is not only a recognition of his personal artistic achievements, but also an affirmation of the artistic value of Peking Opera.
In 2010, Yu Kuizhi's artistic career reached a new peak. He has received a number of important awards, including the Wenhua Performance Award, the Chinese Government Award for Culture and Art, the Huading Award, the first place in the Public Image Satisfaction Survey of China's Theatre Performers of the Year, and the China National Quintessence Cultural Achievement Award from the United Nations.
These honors not only prove his artistic excellence, but also show his great efforts and contributions to the promotion of Peking Opera culture.
While receiving numerous honors, Yu Kuizhi has also been awarded many important titles. In 1995, he was hailed as the "Star of Chinese Peking Opera". In 2002, he was awarded the title of the 12th Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons of China.
In 2016, he was hired by the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsman Special Public Welfare Fund as the "Cultural Ambassador of Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmen of the Great Country", which fully reflects the high recognition of Mr. Kui Zhi's contribution in the field of Peking Opera art from all walks of life.
Yu Kuizhi's artistic career is a legend of passion and dedication. He is not only an outstanding performer on the stage of Peking Opera, but also a great disseminator of traditional Chinese culture. His story will inspire generations of artists to continue to move forward on the glorious road of Peking Opera.
The scandal between Li Shengsu and Yu Kuizhi
The seamless cooperation between Li Shengsu and Yu Kuizhi vividly showed the charm of Peking Opera, which also aroused the infinite reverie of the outside world about the relationship between the two.
At first, the scandal about the golden pair quickly swept the entire theater world like a gust of wind. The perfect match on stage is reminiscent of their private relationship, and it is even rumored that although Yu Kuizhi is married, there seems to be a deep affection between him and Lee Seung-su that goes beyond friendship. Such speculation and discussion have brought the private lives of the two artists into the public spotlight.
As time passed, the truth gradually emerged. After repeated clarifications by the two artists themselves and those around them, the public began to understand that the relationship between Yu Kuizhi and Lee Seung Su was indeed just pure friendship and artistic cooperation. The relationship between them is based on a common love and pursuit of Peking Opera, an ancient art form.
