One day in 2009, Mr. Li Haiying, a famous composer who had entered the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, received a message from his beloved wife, Ms. Yu Li, that made him very excited and deeply uneasy—Ms. Yu Li was pregnant again!
Their married life is undoubtedly happy, but they will face the arduous journey of studying abroad, and considering the potential risks that his wife may face as an elderly pregnant woman, Mr. Li Haiying can't help but fall into deep contradictions and struggles.
As an independent musician, Mr. Li Haiying has experienced many emotional twists and turns. However, when he met Yu Li, a partner who could truly understand and fully support his career development, he finally found the true happiness that belonged to him.
Facing the upcoming second life, Mr. Li Haiying, who is 56 years old, is full of complex emotions. On the one hand, he was full of joy at the birth of a new baby, but on the other hand, he had to worry about his wife's advanced age, pregnancy, and the future of his children.
Fortunately, Ms. Yu Li was considerate of her husband's worries, and she promised Li Haiying in firm words that no matter how big the challenges she faced in the future, she was willing to shoulder all the burdens alone and bravely meet every test, so that her husband would not have to worry too much.
At the insistence of his wife, Mr. Li Haiying finally made a compromise. As soon as he has time, he will rush home to accompany his wife, accompany her to her prenatal check-ups, and wait by her side, hoping to bring her more comfort.
Although Ms. Yu Li often felt unwell during pregnancy, she always endured it silently, not wanting her husband's creative progress to be affected by her own problems. This deep friendship is truly touching.
Thankfully, although Ms. Yu Li is already an advanced maternal age, she did not encounter any danger during childbirth and successfully brought a cute little princess to Mr. Li Haiying.
Mr. Li Haiying waited outside the delivery room and witnessed this sacred moment with his own eyes.
The arrival of his second daughter made Mr. Li Haiying very emotional, and he realized that he was approaching his sixtieth birthday, so he decided to change the past lifestyle of over-consumption and pay more attention to healthy habits.
The arrival of the youngest daughter has had a profound and positive impact on Li Haiying. Today, he always gets up early in the morning to exercise, and emphasizes the importance of health in the details of daily life, which can be described as an irresponsible traditional role, and more hopes to become a strong backing for his family with a strong physique!
In conversations with his best friends, Li Haiying always shares his deep thoughts on love from a unique perspective. He is convinced that true love is not ethereal, but real, but we need to use a calm and calm mind to discover and pursue with our hearts.
This kind of reverence and desire for love is also vividly displayed in many beautiful movements he composes, such as the affectionate and stirring "Anne in the Heart", which calls out the name of his lover affectionately, revealing his incomparable thoughts and expectations for his lover.
The happy marriage between Mr. Li Haiying and his wife Yu Li is undoubtedly a model of happiness. They understand and support each other, and together they give birth to a bright and lovely eldest daughter. Although Li Haiying has experienced emotional twists and turns, he finally found his own happiness.
However, in 2009, when Li Haiying had entered the year of knowing his destiny, a good news from Ms. Yu Li made him both excited and worried. It turned out that Ms. Yu Li was pregnant again! This undoubtedly brought a huge challenge to Li Haiying, who was about to go abroad to study, and coupled with the potential risks that Yu Li might face as an elderly mother, Li Haiying had to fall into a deep contradiction.
Ms. Yu Li is well aware of her husband's worries, and she firmly told Li Haiying, please feel at ease to devote yourself to the music career you love, and I will bear all the difficulties alone, without distracting you.
At the insistence of his wife, Li Haiying finally chose to compromise, as long as he had time, he would immediately rush home to accompany Yu Li, accompany her for prenatal checkups, and guard her side, just hoping to bring her more warmth.
Although Ms. Yu Li often felt unwell during pregnancy, she always endured it silently, and did not want personal problems to affect Li Haiying's creative progress. The husband and wife are close to each other, and this deep friendship is really touching.
Fortunately, although Yu Li has entered middle age, the delivery process has been safe all the way, and he has successfully brought a delicate and lovely daughter! Mr. Li Haiying has waited outside the delivery room wholeheartedly and witnessed the incomparably solemn moment.
Let's take a look back at Mr. Li Haiying's music creation process! His first song "Dream Jiangnan" was born in 1986, and since then, his creative style has changed with each passing day, showing a colorful appearance.
From the "Song of the Seven Sons", which is full of strong folk songs, to "Crossing the River", which depicts regional customs, and then to "The Soul of the Chinese Army", which shows heroism, each work fully demonstrates his profound artistic attainments and unique aesthetic vision.
However, Mr. Li Haiying's creative path was not all smooth sailing. When Cantonese pop music experienced a difficult period from prosperity to decline, he did not hesitate to choose Beipiao and firmly continued his journey of music creation.
This decision undoubtedly opened a new door for Li Haiying, giving him the opportunity to display his talents on a wider stage and achieve remarkable achievements.
It is worth mentioning that during his artistic career, Li Haiying has established a deep and tenacious connection with the symphony. In order to explore this field in depth, he resolutely embarked on the journey of further study at the Central Conservatory of Music.
In the course of his five-year practice, he has never stopped exploring and experimenting with musical forms.
Those once brilliant songwriting songs have been carefully adapted into gorgeous and powerful orchestral versions at this stage. This bold attempt undoubtedly promoted the prosperity and development of China's music industry, and showed the world that symphony music can be completely popularized.
From the point of view of musical expression, Li Haiying's works are full of strong ballad atmosphere. The lyrics in "Song of the Seven Sons" are presented in a nursery rhyme-like manner, with a simple and bright melody, a moderate vocal range, and a unique design that is refreshing.
Works such as "Crossing the River" and "Walking in the Four Directions" are full of the characteristics of Northeast Duozhuan and Shandong music, making people feel as if they are in the intimate countryside.
In the eyes of the common people, symphony is often regarded as a solemn and unattainable art form, which seems to have an insurmountable gap with daily life. However, it is admirable that the composer Li Haiying, with his perseverance and innovative spirit, has successfully integrated the symphony into the mainstream cultural field, guiding the masses to deeply understand and appreciate the unique artistic charm of the symphony.
Take the well-known TV series "Bright Sword" as an example, the theme song it chose is an adapted version from Li Haiying. The talented musician single-handedly managed to break down the boundaries between film music and the original, presenting the audience in a new way, giving the song a life and energy that has never been seen before.
It is through bold adaptation attempts again and again that Li Haiying has successfully reinterpreted many popular hits in the form of classical music, so that the majority of listeners can enter the artistic temple of symphony in the familiar melody.
In Li Haiying's view, classics and pop are not mutually exclusive, but can be perfectly combined. Pop songs are loved precisely because they contain classic elements, and those classic songs that have endured have also to be tempered by time and tested by history.
This unique insight has always inspired him to forge ahead.
Mr. Li Haiying was born in Guangdong Province and grew up in a family atmosphere full of patriotic feelings, which made him deeply imprinted with patriotism. This was evident in his later career.
For example, the passionate and generous song "The Spirit of the Chinese Army", in this song, we can really feel the shocking melody, as well as the compact and powerful, very infectious rhythm, as if just listening to this song can lead us through time and space, and personally feel that war-torn era.
Mr. Li Haiying also has a deep love for the art of traditional Chinese opera. His most admired is the classic drama "Peony Pavilion" in the Ming Dynasty. It is based on his great love for this drama that Mr. Li Haiying even planned a national musical that integrates theatrical elements to express his respect for traditional culture.
He is eager to take this opportunity to allow the singers to deeply touch the most delicate emotional resonance in the hearts of the audience just by singing still without excessive body movements or gorgeous dancing.
In the magnificent large-scale concert, the position distribution of the singers also has its own unique design concept, and they must express the rich emotions as much as possible in the limited time, which undoubtedly brings a high challenge to the whole performance.
However, with perseverance and outstanding talent, Mr. Li Haiying has successfully achieved this seemingly unattainable goal!
Although the final result is slightly different from Mr. Li Haiying's calm and atmospheric personal temperament, such a large-scale concert is undoubtedly a rare artistic feast for musicians.
This deep love and high respect for the traditional culture of the motherland has been incomparably reflected in Mr. Li Haiying's creative process.
It is worth mentioning that in order to commemorate the special moment of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great revolutionary pioneer Mr. Sun Yat-sen, Mr. Li Haiying devoted all his efforts to carefully composing and successfully staging the large-scale symphonic epic "Our Sun Yat-sen".
This work not only fully demonstrates his outstanding talent in the field of music, but also affectionately conveys his deep attachment to his motherland.
In the early stage of creation, Mr. Li Haiying was steady and steady, and in the middle stage, he went all out and devoted himself wholeheartedly, and in the later stage, he devoted himself to creation day and night.
He is a fellow villager with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, so he is willing to devote all his energy and talent to the creation of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's themes.
This work is undoubtedly Mr. Li Haiying's extraordinary and outstanding masterpiece. It requires 500 actors working together to present it to an audience of thousands, and the difficulty is breathtaking.
In addition, this is the first time that Mr. Li Haiying has composed Cantonese lyrics, the first time he has used an organ and an off-site band, and the first time he has composed a large-scale musical work using a variety of symphony orchestra expressions.
Despite the difficulties and challenges, Mr. Li Haiying did not feel pressure or nervousness, but eagerly awaited and excited about the wonderful performances to come.
In the end, the work was an unprecedented success and lived up to expectations. For this repertoire alone, Mr. Li Haiying was busy for half a year, from rehearsals to recording records and conducting performances, he personally participated in every link and did it himself.
In the field of music creation, Mr. Li Haiying's enthusiasm and perseverance can be called the extreme, and he eagerly hopes that his works will be deeply loved and widely praised by a wide range of audiences, regardless of age and professional differences.
