Time flies, time flies. Now, Li Yugang, who has gone through ups and downs and worked tirelessly in the field of art, has been promoted to a world-famous art master. His unique and outstanding music composition and performance style has won warm praise and high praise from the audience, and is known as the shining pearl of Chinese culture and art.
Interlude: Parents have persevered for many years and witnessed their son's transformation from an ordinary peasant boy to a giant in the art world, with a unique artistic style.
In the simple village in his hometown of Jilin, Li Yugang's parents are now gray-eyed and in their old age. For countless days and nights, they silently guarded the warmth of their homes, witnessing their children gradually grow from an unknown peasant boy to a shining superstar on the contemporary art stage.
Li Yugang has always pursued his artistic dream with perseverance and perseverance, had the courage to explore and innovate, and finally led the art world with his unique performance style.
Time passes, and decades of artistic tempering. Now, Li Yugang, who is more than half a hundred years old, has finally decided to return to his homeland and return to this hometown where he grew up.
Facing the respectful eyes of his father and fellow villagers, he showed an elegant and calm smile, and his bearing was extraordinary. Although his career has been widely recognized by the world, he still maintains a humble and peaceful mentality, without any arrogance.
After many twists and turns, he is now at ease and calm, and his heart has gained unprecedented peace and detachment.
Li Yugang was born in a poor family in Gongzhuling City, a remote mountainous area in Jilin Province. His parents were hard-working farmers who worked hard all year round, earning barely enough to make ends meet.
Despite his poor family, Li Yugang showed an extreme love for music and the stage from an early age. His mother loved the art of two-person turning, and Li Yugang was deeply influenced by her since he was a child, and he was full of innate enthusiasm for singing and dancing.
Flashback: Dropping out of school to work and drifting, the beggar regains his confidence after being rescued, and goes all out to realize his stage dream.
Due to his family's poor circumstances, Li Yugang was unable to continue his education and had to give up his studies. With only 200 yuan of savings, he embarked on a long wandering journey, looking forward to finding an opportunity to realize his musical dreams in a foreign land.
However, fate seems to have played a cruel joke! Soon after arriving in Changchun City, his wallet was brutally murdered by thieves. Suddenly, Li Yugang was so destitute that he couldn't even find a stable place to live, so he could only wander away on the benches in the hospital.
This desperate situation almost drove Li Yugang to the brink of collapse, and he once stopped on the bridge, wanting to end his life to relieve his pain. However, at this life-or-death moment, a group of kind and kind beggars came like saviors, generously helping him, and giving him selfless help.
With their broad minds, these beggars patiently enlightened and inspired Li Yugang, rekindling his hope for life and the courage to pursue his dreams. Since then, Li Yugang has strengthened his determination and decided to gradually realize the grand stage dream in his heart.
The year 2006 was undoubtedly a major turning point in Li Yugang's life. After years of hard work and tempering, he finally waited for that precious opportunity that could completely change his fate.
Ms. Guo Yan, the director of the famous talent show "Avenue of Stars", personally sent him an invitation to participate. In the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime stage opportunity, Li Yugang did not hesitate to seize it. In the show, he bravely tried an unprecedented form of performance - reverse performance.
Dressed in gorgeous and glamorous women's clothes and wearing heavy makeup, Li Yugang successfully created the classic image of Yu Ji in the famous Peking Opera "Farewell My Concubine". When his high-pitched and passionate voice echoed on the stage, the audience was deeply shocked.
Li Yugang freely switches between male and female voices with ease, as if incarnated as a woman, delicately showing Yu Ji's charming and moving side. His eyes were misty and melancholy, like the moon in the water, and his posture was graceful and graceful, as if walking in the hazy clouds.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yugang's bold and innovative performance method has naturally attracted some controversy and criticism. Some directly accused him of violating tradition, and some even questioned him in person, questioning whether he was a "shemale".
However, more audiences were attracted by his unique artistic approach and fell in love with it.
With his extraordinary strength and exquisite skills, the talented Li Yugang broke through the competition in the season of "Avenue of Stars" and finally won the third place, and his popularity soared and became the focus of attention. In 2010, he officially launched his first music album "New Concubine Drunk", in which the title song of the same name swept the country and became a landmark work in his music career, which can be called a classic.
Li Yugang's emotional journey is also full of twists and turns, which can be described as a difficult love road. As early as 2004, in a performance, he met Fan Xiaoning, the "saxophone princess" with excellent temperament, and the two fell in love at first sight and began a sweet and beautiful relationship.
Born into a musical family, Fan Xiaoning received professional training in violin and saxophone from an early age. She not only has a beautiful and moving appearance, but also has an elegant and refined artistic temperament, so she is known as the "Saxophone Princess".
Fan Xiaoning gave all-round support and funding to Li Yugang's music career, and the love story between the two at that time was known as the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" and attracted much attention.
Reverse order: After the rumors of ordination, it is clarified that the celibate artist is affectionately looking for a soul mate
There were rumors that Li Yugang had converted to Buddhism and became a monk. However, he himself quickly clarified this, and in fact he was just meditating inside the temple and exploring the path of artistic creation.
To this day, the celibate artist still seems to be looking for a confidant and true love in his heart, and his emotional world has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery.
If Li Yugang has had a warm and sincere emotional experience in his life, then it is undoubtedly the relationship with Fan Xiaoning. However, the good times did not last long, and in 2012, there was a rift in their relationship, and they finally chose to go their separate ways.
The decision to break up came from Fan Xiaoning herself, and she personally wrote an article to publicly say that it was because she loved each other deeply and thought that such a separation might be the best choice.
At the same time, she also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Li Yugang for his care and love in the past few years, and wished him to find his own happiness.
Shortly thereafter, rumors spread that Mr. Lee was secretly married to the daughter of a wealthy Malaysian businessman. It is said that with the support of the woman's strong family background, Li Yugang successfully entered the international stage and was once praised as "the first person in the world to fight back".
However, it is difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of these so-called facts, and the brokerage company to which Li Yugang belongs quickly made a decisive denial move.
Narration: Explore pioneering paths in a variety of artistic fields, including opera, dance, makeup, and choreography
In addition to his music career, Li Yugang's love for art never stops. He has demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the arts and a spirit of innovation in all art forms, including dance, fashion design, make-up and choreography.
In order to be able to use various artistic techniques freely, he went around to learn from teachers, and visited hundreds of art masters to humbly ask for advice.
The famous makeup artist Mao Geping is his mentor and friend, and he personally creates exquisite makeup for him. In order to improve his dancing skills, Li Yugang is strict with himself, often undergoing high-intensity splitting training, and even practicing until he is exhausted.
His hard work and perseverance are truly admirable.
As a close friend of internationally renowned dancer Yang Liping, Li Yugang and him can be called a golden combination in the art world. Over the years, they have worked together to present creative works of art on stage.
At the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2023, their joint performance of the dance art film "Jade Rabbit and Chang'e" won warm applause from the audience. On the stage, Li Yugang was wearing a dark robe, standing behind Yang Liping expressionlessly, with deep melancholy and confusion in his eyes.
That thoughtful demeanor seemed to be gazing into the distance, looking for the true meaning and direction of life.
Although they play different roles on stage, they secretly have feelings for each other during the performance. This deep affection has remained unchanged to this day, and has become a unique and precious friendship between the two artists.
