In the middle of the night before dawn, the 79-year-old artist Li Guyi finally relieved himself of the heavy stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and walked steadily towards the car waiting quietly at the back door with a tired face but still showing a soft smile.
She doesn't know how many years she has repeated this picture. The years have mercilessly portrayed a wrinkled face, however, at this time, she comes backstage as seriously as she made her debut, dressing up and tidying up her clothes in detail, and patiently waiting for the moment of appearance.
As the perfect interpreter of the finale of the Spring Festival Gala "Unforgettable Tonight", Li Guyi has never dared to take it lightly. Even though the performance scene was already boiling with joy, and everyone was looking forward to her popular golden song, Li Guyi and his team behind the scenes were still very nervous, calculating the time second by second to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Finally, with the melodious and passionate music, the lady with a green posture and graceful demeanor stepped on the stage, and suddenly, the whole venue erupted in warm and lasting applause. With a confident attitude, she sang the strong memories of the New Year in the hearts of countless audiences with that tactful and penetrating voice.
The audience listened to this intimate and timeless piece with all their might, lest they miss a moment in a thousand notes. Even though the stage was getting darker and the night was darker and colder, they were still full of interest, and their eyes flashed with deep respect and deep gratitude.
In the minds of these audiences, the final chapter of the Spring Festival Gala must be drawn by Li Guyi's singing to a perfect end, so that it can be called a real successful ending.
And Li Guyi has long been accustomed to this fast-paced lifestyle. No matter the bitterly cold winter night or the scorching summer sun, she always sticks to her post, devotes herself to the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala, and is strict with herself and does not relax.
Even though she sometimes had to wait until 3 a.m. to get home for a break, she never complained. This unwavering belief and professionalism have long been integrated into Li Guyi's artistic career and have become an indispensable part of her life.
Li Guyi was born in an ordinary rural family in Yunnan, and showed extraordinary singing talent since he was a child. Although she had to move to Jiangxi with her family due to her father's job change, her deep love and pursuit of music has never wavered.
In various sports competitions on campus, the talented Li Guyi was unexpectedly discovered by the teachers for her outstanding athletic talent, however, she resolutely chose to pursue her deep vocal dream.
Back in 1974, with his excellent academic performance, Li Guyi successfully won the admission ticket to the Central Orchestra. On this bright stage for the first time, her crisp and melodious voice instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
However, doubts followed, but Li Guyi chose to unswervingly stick to his beliefs and devote himself to his artistic career. Finally in 1977, she became famous with a widely praised song "The Spring Water of the Frontier is Clear and Clear", and since then, her glorious journey in the music industry has officially begun.
In 1983, Li Guyi was fortunate to be invited to attend the first CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Although the preparation conditions for the Spring Festival Gala at that time were still simple, the audience's enthusiasm for Li Guyi was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.
She sang nine songs in a row at the party, setting a performance record at the time. In the Spring Festival Gala of the following year, the director did not hesitate to invite Li Guyi to perform the classic song "Unforgettable Tonight" again, and since then, she has become a resident guest on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and this song has also accompanied us through more than 40 spring and autumn seasons.
Over the past few decades, Li Guyi has consistently adhered to the persistent pursuit of her artistic career, and even in the face of high-intensity performance arrangements and the problem of voice damage, she still relentlessly completes every wonderful performance.
She skillfully integrates opera elements into her singing, making her works more ethnic and showing a strong spirit of innovation. Li Guyi's achievements are not only due to her breathtaking singing voice, but more importantly, her unremitting pursuit of music, which has also earned her the high honor of "People's Artist".
For Li Guyi, how to balance career and family is undoubtedly the biggest challenge she faces. As a famous soprano singer in China, she has been baptized by two marriages.
In her first marriage, her husband was both her mentor and friend, and the sustenance of her soul. However, due to Li Guyi's dedication to his artistic career, family life often did not receive sufficient attention and time.
In the end, this marriage ended with a peaceful breakup, which brought unspeakable pain to Li Guyi's heart.
However, in the second marriage she has experienced in her life, our narrator, Ms. Li Guyi, finally found her soul mate and became her strong support and solid backing. Her husband is the most loyal supporter of her musical path, and has given her incomparably deep love and support in both life and work. It is precisely with his company that Li Guyi's singing voice is more and more charming, and her stage style is even more dazzling.
However, it is worth mentioning that even so, Ms. Li Guyi has not been able to achieve the perfect balance between career and family life.
She generously admits that she is not a good helper, and when she was young, she was indeed a little unable to assume the role of wife. But in the face of this past, she did not leave any regrets or regrets, on the contrary, she chose to focus on her career more firmly.
For Ms. Li Guyi, the art of singing has long been deeply imprinted in her life and has become an indispensable part of her life. Even if it takes some price to pay for her personal life, she will not hesitate to make such a choice. This persistent pursuit of her career has made Ms. Li Guyi an eternal star in the minds of countless audiences.
When the time comes to 2023, when the program list of the Spring Festival Gala was announced, countless viewers were surprised to find a remarkable change - Ms. Li Guyi's name was not included in the performance lineup of "Unforgettable Tonight".
At the same time, a shocking rumor spread quickly on the Internet that some people claimed that Ms. Li Guyi had passed away. Most people were skeptical of this news, after all, the rumors surrounding Ms. Li Guyi for many years have never stopped.
However, at this time, Ms. Li Guyi, who has entered the prime of life, issued a handwritten statement on social media.
She sincerely explained to the public that she was unable to attend this year's Spring Festival Gala due to physical reasons and deeply regretted it. This explanation immediately won the understanding and support of a wide audience.
Although Ms. Li Guyi could not stand on the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala, she still deeply cared about the audience and friends across the country and cared about the stage that created a brilliant career for her.
The audience searched for Ms. Li Guyi's wonderful moments at the Spring Festival Gala in the past on the Internet, missing those familiar melodies and her deep and steady singing voice.
In the face of many unpredictable challenges such as the epidemic, the absence of Mr. Li Guyi for some reason undoubtedly made the majority of music lovers deeply sad and worried. However, under her interpretation, we have a deeper understanding of the serene and far-reaching wisdom of this outstanding artist, as well as the deep attachment to the stage of this acting career.
