Faced with the difficult decision of her only daughter, Li Na, to become a nun, her mother endured great pain and burst into tears. As a single mother who takes on the responsibility of raising her two daughters independently, she always hopes that her children can enjoy a comfortable life in an ordinary family, rather than choosing a path of cultivation that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Looking back at the past situation, the sorrow in my mother's heart seems to be vivid, and those bits and pieces of the past are surging in my heart like a movie picture. The early death of her husband forced her to bravely shoulder the burden and raise her two daughters alone. During those difficult years, life was unbearable, and it seemed to be commonplace to endure the white eyes and ridicule of outsiders.
However, she never gave up, always gritted her teeth and persevered, exchanged her hard-working hands for the food and clothing of her daughters, and resolutely did not let her vulnerability affect the growth of her children.
Li Na has been talented since childhood, and at the age of 13, she was admitted to the performance class of Henan Opera School with excellent results, and since then she has started her career in Henan Opera.
Her mother did not expect that although Li Na's voice conditions were not outstanding, with her extraordinary concentration and research spirit, after years of hard work, she finally stood out among her peers and won the reputation of "golden voice".
The mother is proud of her daughter, and at the same time, she sincerely hopes that she can settle down and live an ordinary life.
However, fate played a joke. 19-year-old Li Na became famous in one fell swoop for her outstanding performance in the large-scale Henan opera "100-year-old in charge", and since then, she has achieved numerous honors in solo concerts, film and television drama episodes and other fields, and her career is thriving.
The mother thought that her daughter could finally enjoy her old age with a music career, but she did not expect that she would make such a shocking decision.
In 1997, 34-year-old Li Na resolutely decided to convert to Buddhism and became a nun with the Dharma name "Changsheng". When she personally announced this important decision to her mother, her mother was like a bolt from the blue, and tears rained down.
Seeing that her daughter has a successful career and a wealthy family, why should she give up all this and embark on that path of cultivation full of hardships? The mother's heartache was unbearable, and a thousand words could only turn into a helpless sigh in her heart.
In her mother's eyes, her daughter Li Na has reached the pinnacle of her life. In 1997, at the age of 34, she was ordained as a monk under the name of "Changsheng", which was undoubtedly like a hammer and unacceptable to her mother.
In fact, even at the peak of her career, Li Na's challenging heart still struggled to calm down. The acclaimed music superstar has sung the theme songs for more than 160 films and TV series, and has performed countless iconic songs that have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, she was once under the pressure of overload and a huge physical and mental burden.
Li Na was often plagued by prolonged emotional downturns and insomnia, and she had to travel between hospitals due to frequent physical discomforts. It is surprising that her brilliant career achievements actually bind her sensitive and fragile heart in turn. The music that once gave her life force has now become an invisible shackle, plunging her into an endless whirlpool of work.
Even more unfortunate is that, despite her public fame, Li Na's private life is little known. In order to pursue higher singing skills, she can even stay at home for a week, with few friends. She often huddles alone in the corner of her home, practicing her vocalizations in front of the mirror repeatedly, sometimes holding back her tears. It all stems from her extreme dedication to her career and the tremendous sacrifice she has made to do so.
What is even more distressing is that Li Na's emotional life is also in trouble. A relationship that lasted for two whole years finally ended due to the conflict between the two parties. Recalling her mother's ardent hope for her to start a family as soon as possible, it now seems that she is destined to miss the simple and warm happiness of ordinary families.
Li Na's persistent pursuit of work has gone far beyond her mother's imagination. While her career was booming and her fame was gaining popularity, she chose a completely different path – to become a monk and find inner peace and tranquility.
She first went to Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province, where she began her spiritual journey at Tianmen Temple, an ancient temple. The simple folk customs and spectacular natural landscapes there helped her gradually let go of the burden in her heart and calm her anxiety and anxiety. During her time in Tianmen Mountain, Li Na built a residence called "Li Na's Hut" with her own hands, completely isolated from the outside world, and lived a quiet life without contention.
However, pure self-cultivation obviously cannot satisfy Li Na's pursuit of a higher Zen realm! She resolutely bid farewell to the haunting Tianmen Mountain, bid farewell to the "Li Na Hut" with infinite effort, and donated it to the local scenic spot management office without reservation. Subsequently, she overcame obstacles and came to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province, which has a long history, and made up her mind to become a monk in this thousand-year-old temple and officially embark on a spiritual journey.
As soon as this decision was disclosed by the media, it immediately aroused widespread attention from all walks of life. Countless Li Na's loyal fans flocked to Wutai Mountain, some calling her name, some crying over her ordination, and some just longing to take precious photos with her. However, all of this has thrown the peaceful life that Li Na had hoped for into chaos again.
In order to completely escape the hustle and bustle of the world, Li Na had to leave her hometown again and go to a Buddhist temple in Los Angeles, USA, where she finally settled down and began her spiritual life. When the mother heard the news of her daughter's ordination, she was in agony. She had tried to fly to the United States to persuade Li Na to abandon the decision, but in the face of her daughter's firm faith, she could only reluctantly accept the reality.
The mother was grief-stricken, tears welled up, and she felt that her daughter was at the peak of her career, and it was a pity to give up everything. In fact, Li Na, who lost her father since childhood, seems to have an innate affinity and love for music. It is precisely because of her family's poverty that music has become a light that illuminates her gloomy life, giving her the courage and strength to move forward.
Her mother was a strong and courageous woman, and although the weight of life overwhelmed her, she always wholeheartedly supported her daughter in pursuing her musical dreams. In 1976, Li Na, who was only 13 years old, was admitted to the performance class of Henan Opera School with excellent results, and since then she has started her artistic life.
At first, the mother was full of worries, but she was also very relieved to see her daughter's hard work. As expected, although her voice was not outstanding, with her almost executor-like dedication, Li Na quickly rose to prominence and earned the reputation of "golden voice".
After graduation, Li Na chose to stay in the school's experimental troupe, and became a blockbuster in many classic works, and won the "First Prize of the First Young Actor Orchestration in Henan Province".
This is undoubtedly the supreme honor and encouragement for a girl from a poor background! The mother is not only extremely proud of her daughter's achievements, but also deeply worried about her future and development. After all, the journey of making a living from the performing arts is full of hardships and instability, and it is difficult to support the whole family to live and work in peace and contentment. She earnestly hopes that her daughter can live a stable and stable life and live a happy time like an ordinary family.
However, Li Na is by no means an ordinary person. She is eager to showcase her talents in the wider world and finally realize her dream of being obsessed with music. The mother is full of conflicts, hoping that her daughter will be able to enjoy peace, but also worrying that she will stagnate and miss out on the precious opportunities in life.
In 1986, Li Na was transferred to the Henan Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, and since then she has officially embarked on the journey of pursuing her music dream. Although her monthly salary at that time was only a few dozen yuan, she still adhered to the principle of thrift and thrift, and sent most of her income back to her hometown to support her mother and sister.
For a family from a poor background, Li Na's achievements today are hard-won. However, she was not satisfied with this, but in the 80s of the 20th century, she strengthened her determination to show her talents in this new field, and looked forward to flying freely in this vast ocean.
In 1988, Li Na resolutely decided to leave Henan and go to Shenzhen, which is known as the "City of Music", hoping to absorb more abundant musical nourishment there. Dedicating herself to studying vocal skills at art school while maintaining her basic needs through work-study, Li Na embarked on a long and arduous journey to pursue her dreams.
When she first arrived in Shenzhen, this girl from her hometown town seemed a little out of place, and her musical attainments were not outstanding. Li Na has encountered countless cynicism and blows, but she has never lost confidence, always cherished her dreams, studied diligently, and patiently waited for her own opportunities to come.
Finally, at the 1988 National "Ruyi Cup" Singer Competition, Li Na successfully won the championship of the popular group after several rounds of fierce competition. Subsequently, the director team also had a unique vision and invited her to sing the episode "Bitter Fence" for the hit TV series "Fence, Woman, Dog".
Li Na's magnetic voice and deep-rooted expressiveness perfectly interpreted the tragic fate of rural women in China, and won warm applause and high praise from the audience.
In the glorious moment of 1990, Li Na successfully won the supreme honor of "The Second National Top Ten Film and Television Singers" with her extraordinary musical talent! In the same year, CCTV's large-scale TV series "Desire" even invited her to sing the opening song of the show - "A Good Man Has a Safe Life", which together with the famous singer Mao Amin's masterpiece "Desire", became a classic of that era and has been praised to this day.
Since then, Li Na's name has become thunderous and famous. In the years that followed, she sang for countless film and television dramas, and her music styles covered a wide range of audiences. She has become a household name as a superstar, with solo concerts to full capacity, and a steady stream of accolades and lucrative income.
However, at the peak of her career, Li Na began to face new challenges in life. His physical and mental condition is deteriorating, his love life has suffered major setbacks, and he is deeply tired of the lifestyle of the entertainment industry.
She began to wonder if she had been chasing the wrong things. When her dream finally came true, she still couldn't find the peace and tranquility in her heart.
