Preface
Life is a grand stage play, and everyone is the protagonist in the play.
Someone is born to stand in the spotlight; Some people have to go through hardships before they can shine.
Those who have gone through ups and downs and finally achieved prosperity are often the most worthy of being remembered by the world.
Do you want to get a glimpse of the real life? A woman who came out of an opera family will tell us a magnificent legend with her bumpy but brilliant life.
Li Lingyu's life path is like a river novel.
With a prominent background, she could have freely swam in the ocean of art, but she unexpectedly fell into the whirlpool of feelings.
From a marriage to a plummeting career, she was almost completely swallowed by the clouds of fate.
But this resilient woman finally embraced the light again with tenacious perseverance and pure love......
The experience of growing up
On an ordinary day in 1948, in the atmospheric city of Shanghai, an opera family ushered in a new bloodline continuation - a baby girl Li Lingyu, who would eventually become a superstar, was born.
From the moment she first started crying, her father was blooming on stage with the unique stage charm of Yue Opera, and her mother was also dressed up in the background with the exquisite figure of Peking Opera beautiful makeup.
This generation of Li family girls has been deeply rendered by the rich opera culture since she was born.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, when the little Li Lingyu was only 5 years old, the opera family fell into turmoil and changes.
Her father died young, and her mother had to raise her alone with hard work.
But the mother did not give up her daughter's cultivation of art because of this, but taught her the art of opera more attentively.
At a young age, Li Lingyu was already able to imitate her father's high-pitched and loud singing, and as soon as her tender little mouth opened and closed, she revealed a little bit of charm.
Seeing that she was talented and interested in the art of opera, her mother resolutely sent her to Shanghai Yue Opera School for further study.
There, Li Lingyu showed her extraordinary talent and studious nature, so much so that she soon became a proud protégé of the teachers who regarded her as a leader.
After completing her studies, she joined the Shanghai Yue Opera Troupe and shined on the stage to show her talents.
However, under the influence of the policies of the sixties and seventies of the last century, the Yue Opera Troupe had to face a difficult period of reorganization.
Although she had left the path of opera at that time, Li Lingyu did not give up her dream of art, but instead ignited a new ambition to reach a new world.
The twists and turns of making a living
In 1978, the prelude to China's reform and opening up finally opened, and all walks of life also ushered in new vitality.
The hot land of pop music also came into being, attracting countless young people with musical dreams to join it.
Li Lingyu resolutely switched to the pop music scene, came out of the opera family, and sought to open up her own world on a new career path.
It all started with participating in various musicals.
For the Virgo pop music scene, Li Lingyu is obviously stretched.
But she never got discouraged, but worked hard step by step in actual combat, grinding her acting skills and singing skills along the way.
At the same time, she also seized every opportunity to release a solo music album, trying to establish herself in this new world.
Despite the ups and downs ahead, after some hard work, Li Lingyu finally persevered to find a glimmer of life in the new field, laying the foundation for the future take-off.
A turning point in life
1987 was the most critical year in Li Lingyu's life.
This year, she starred in a well-known TV series masterpiece "Red Sorghum", and her superb performance in the play immediately attracted the attention of countless audiences.
What's more, the theme song she perfectly interpreted for this drama has become a household name overnight, widely sung, and has become a must-order track for countless people's mobile phone ringtones and KTVs.
In this way, Li Lingyu, who was unknown in the past and struggled in the pop music circle, became a popular fried chicken in one fell swoop, and was named the "Queen of Sweet Songs".
Since then, she has embarked on the peak of her career, winning awards at major competitions and award ceremonies, and becoming a household name superstar.
It seems that the career is going well, fame and fortune are both gained, and everything is under control.
But at this juncture, Li Lingyu's love life has fallen into an unprecedented crisis, which has cast a haze over the originally bizarre life.
Once upon a time, she was also a confusing marriage faller, divided and merged, as if she was desperate.
The next few years were the most bumpy and lowest dark period in Li Lingyu's love life.
The pain of love
The world thought that Li Lingyu should live a glorious road to the pinnacle of life, but who expected her love life to fall into the most bumpy trough in her life.
In 1990, at the age of 32, she married a music producer with great dreams and stepped into the palace of marriage.
At that time, Li Lingyu gained fame and fortune and her career took off, and the husband and wife seemed to be a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and this marriage only lasted for two years before it came to an abrupt end, and the two divorced in 1992.
Although the couple had no children to tie each other, this sudden disintegration still hit Li Lingyu's heart like a hammer, casting a layer of haze on her originally perfect life.
This setback was like a beginning, and in the next few years, Li Lingyu's love life fell into an even more turbulent storm.
In 1997, she married a foreign husband with great hope, hoping to find an outlet for happiness in this foreign marriage.
She tried her best to maintain this fragile relationship, and she never slackened.
But fate was too treacherous, and soon after marriage, the two began to separate for various reasons.
Initially, it was only a temporary separation, but this "temporary" state lasted for almost 15 years.
In the past 15 years, Li Lingyu has always adhered to the decision not to divorce her husband, stubbornly waiting for the separation life to one day usher in a turnaround.
During this time, she was alone and suffered from inner contradictions.
On the one hand, she still has hope of a reunion; On the other hand, the long years of separation have also caused her to suffer mentally.
The outside world is in an uproar, and all kinds of speculations and criticisms continue to circulate about why Li Lingyu and her husband have been separated for a long time and why they have not divorced.
However, whether it is the persuasion of relatives and friends, or the pressure of public opinion, Li Lingyu has never publicly made any explanation for this.
She just endured everything silently and interpreted her choices with actions.
Perhaps, she also struggled and cried for this relationship, but in the end, she was relieved and put more energy into her music career.
It is music that has become Li Lingyu's most solid sustenance and redemption during the trough of this relationship.
As long as she stands on the stage and sings a touching melody, she can temporarily put aside all her worries and embrace light and hope again.
This kind of dedication and persistence in her career has become a strong agent to support her through difficulties.
Musical persistence
It is the persistence of music and career that allows Li Lingyu to regain her mind in the haze of emotional turmoil.
In 1995, she once again entered the public eye with her work "Smoke and Rain" and won the "National Pop Song Competition" in one fell swoop.
This piece of mournful music and poignant lyrics undoubtedly struck a chord with the public and became one of the hottest pop songs of the year.
Although she has been separated from her foreign husband for many years, Li Lingyu has never given up her persistent pursuit of music.
She seems to have found the meaning and pillar of life on stage and in songs, supporting herself to regain her strength and find light after emotional trauma.
In retrospect, perhaps it was the companionship and nourishment of music that allowed Li Lingyu to find solace and strength in the difficulties of marriage.
As long as you stand on the stage and sing high-pitched with her magnetic voice, your heart will suddenly open up and find the meaning of life.
And every time she leaves the stage, she will fall into the whirlpool of emotional entanglements again, and she will be in great pain.
As a result, the stage has become the last safe haven in Li Lingyu's life.
She devoted all her passion to her music career, and whenever she felt tired and lost, she relied on her singing voice to continue the hotbed of hope.
Music has allowed her to regain the courage and strength to live.
This pure love finally allowed Li Lingyu to gain the highest honor in her career.
She often wins laurels in major award ceremonies and competitions, and is known as the popular fried chicken and the well-known "King of Sweet Songs".
seems to be glamorous, but she is not carried away by these honors, but has an innate indifference and calmness.
Independent and self-reliant
It is precisely because of this unique temperament that Li Lingyu can strive for self-improvement and independence in a difficult living environment.
Perhaps it was the experience of losing her father since she was a child that made her develop an independent, self-reliant, and self-reliant personality.
In the face of all kinds of speculation and criticism about her separated life, she has never responded positively, but only used her own actions to interpret the idea: the crack in marriage does not mean the end of life, and women should not see marriage as the whole thing.
She believes that only when she is firm enough and has a positive and optimistic attitude towards life can she truly achieve happiness.
Based on this independent and self-reliant philosophy of life, Li Lingyu has not given any explanation for the long-term separation from her foreign husband.
On the contrary, she still formed a small family with a son and lived a warm and fulfilling family life of three.
This "incomplete" small family has become her most solid support, and the company of her son has allowed her to rediscover the meaning of happiness.
It is with the support of her family and the sustenance of her music career that Li Lingyu can face all kinds of criticism from the outside world with an optimistic and positive attitude, and finally overcome the haze of fate.
She uses her life practice to interpret an independent, self-reliant, self-sufficient attitude to life, and shows a tenacious female image.
epilogue
Li Lingyu's life course is like a drama with ups and downs.
From the influence of the opera family to the pop music scene after the reform and opening up, from nothing to becoming an instant hit to become the "Queen of Sweet Songs", from the bumpy marriage, emotional trauma to finally regaining happiness with the spirit of independence and self-improvement, her legendary experience can be called magnificent.
As a girl from an opera family, Li Lingyu has been rendered by a strong artistic atmosphere since she was a child.
She has an innocent love for music and performance, and this love eventually becomes the driving force behind her.
Despite the many obstacles on the road of life, she has broken through them one by one with indomitable perseverance.
First of all, the blow of her father's untimely death made Li Lingyu taste the bitterness of life since she was a child.
But she didn't give up on her dream, but turned her love for music into a driving force to move forward.
Secondly, under the influence of policies in the last century, the original path of opera was forced to be interrupted, but she was not discouraged, but boldly switched to the emerging pop music scene.
