Tears filled Lei Jia's eyes, and she covered her mouth tightly with her hands, desperately suppressing the emotions that were tumbling in her heart. This former mighty military singer is standing on the gorgeous stage of CCTV's cultural and artistic program "Singing for You" to bid farewell to her long-term career as a horseman.
She glanced around, the familiar stage lights and the busy figures of the staff were intertwined in front of her, and the irrepressible sadness of parting was permeating. "One original heart, only for China", the sentence she once sang affectionately on this stage echoed in her mind, and at the same time, her expression seemed a little depressed.
"This year I will officially end my military career and transform from a glorious soldier of the people to a teacher of the people." Lei Jia said softly, and through the screen, she could feel her deep attachment to the green military uniform.
After choking up many times, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but there was a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.
Recalling the time when she stepped into the music hall, she has a touching picture in her mind. The cassette was filled with mesmerizing folk songs, and every time Lei Jia listened to them, she would be deeply intoxicated, as if in these beautiful melodies, she found a beacon for the future path of life.
"Who would have expected that the little girl in the countryside back then would be able to stand on the bright stage of CCTV now? Along the way, I have been accompanied by the love and encouragement of countless people, how can I express my gratitude? Her eyes glistened with tears, and she was full of nostalgia and gratitude for the bits and pieces of her past.
Lei Jia has shown extraordinary musical talent since she was a child, and whenever she gently hums a minor key, her crisp and melodious voice is like a ray of sunshine, warming the hearts of her family.
Her family was fascinated by this natural singing voice and had high hopes for her to one day become an outstanding singer.
Lei Jia's happiest moment was when she sang on a country road. Whenever she was in the green grassy fields, she would instantly sing loudly as if she had been reborn, expressing her deep love for this land with that loud voice.
Her parents often lamented that she was a blessed child born with an otherworldly musical talent.
However, the children in the small city of Yiyang have a clear understanding of their environment and a deep understanding of the limitations of development. By chance, 14-year-old Lei Jia ignorantly learned that the Hunan Provincial Art School was recruiting students, and she did not hesitate to devote herself to it and bravely participated in the selection.
Since then, Lei Jia has firmly embarked on his own opera road at the age of 14. During that time, she worked diligently in the small city of Yiyang, getting up early at five o'clock in the morning and starting to practice basic skills, and continued until nine o'clock in the evening before finishing the whole day's classes.
Time flies, time flies, and although the road is full of bumps and hardships, Lei Jia has always been steadfast, because she knows that this is the only way to her dream.
During her days in Yiyang, Lei Jia won unanimous praise from her family, teachers and classmates with her outstanding talent and diligent spirit. People praised her, and Lei Jia was more confident.
However, when she actually stepped through the doors of art school, she realized that the outside world was so vast and full of talents, that she seemed to be just an insignificant member of it.
She looked around and saw that those students of the same age were all from famous families with a solid foundation, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed for a while.
Lei Jia knows that success requires 1% talent and 99% hard work. So she silently made up her mind to work harder during her school days, getting up at five o'clock every morning to start practicing basic skills, and continuing until nine o'clock in the evening before finishing the day's classes.
Day after day, year after year, the trajectory of her life is the practice room, classroom, and dormitory, and the hardships are extraordinary. Many of her classmates couldn't stand this life and chose to give up, but Lei Jia remained steadfast because she knew that it would take a lot of hard work to realize her dreams.
In this way, four years passed in a hurry. Finally, in 2000, Lei Jia was admitted to the vocal opera department of the China Conservatory of Music with excellent results, opening a new chapter of study.
After entering the conservatory, Lei Jia still maintained a modest and studious attitude. She knows that she is just getting started, that there is still more knowledge to be learned, and that there is still more room for improvement to be discovered.
There, she studied under the famous professor Zou Wenqin, and systematically learned ethnic singing and Western bel canto singing.
Even though there is a lot of academic pressure, Lei Jia has never bowed to difficulties and has always been strict with herself. She firmly believes that only by grasping every detail in detail can she finally achieve outstanding and perfect results! This firm belief spurs her not only to deeply understand and skillfully use the unique charm of Chinese folk vocal music, but also to fully absorb the essence of Western bel canto singing.
During his university studies, under the careful guidance of his teachers, Lei Jia has made remarkable achievements in Chinese folk singing and Western bel canto singing, and his skills have become increasingly exquisite.
It was with this solid foundation that she quickly made a name for herself in the music industry and attracted widespread attention.
In 2000, before Lei Jia graduated from school, he became famous in the National Young Singer TV Grand Prix and won the gold medal in the professional group of the Hunan Division. In July of the same year, she won the Excellence Award for Ethnic Singing in the Professional Group again in the national finals, and her reputation was greatly enhanced.
In June of the following year, at the "Ode to the Red Flag" Gala, Lei Jia was fortunate to perform the classic song "My Motherland" with his idols Guo Lanying and Zhang Ye; In August, she won the first prize in the professional group in the "National Singer Singing Yunnan" TV Grand Prix; In September, he won the first prize in the professional group again in the National College Student Art Song Competition.
So far, Lei Jia has become a high-profile young singer, she has not only won many honors in various competitions, including champions, first prizes and many other awards, but also has achieved remarkable results in the field of opera.
Lei Jia's interpretation of every role can be called excellence, especially for the classic image of Mulan, she has repeatedly scrutinized, striving to balance fortitude and softness.
In order to achieve this goal, she humbly consulted her predecessor "Mulan", and under the careful guidance of her mentor, she tried a variety of different expression techniques, and finally succeeded in creating an amazing image of "Mulan".
In addition, her outstanding "sword dance" performance also won warm applause from the audience for Chinese national opera. During her global tour, her stunning dance postures showcased the mystery and beauty of Chinese martial arts, captivating countless audiences.
As a talented and powerful artist, Lei Jia has done her best to portray the important role of Xi'er in "The White-Haired Girl"! In order to be able to vividly interpret this legendary character, she worked tirelessly to go deep into the place where the story takes place and the place where it was originally created, and ate and lived with the local simple and kind farmers, working hard together, trying to understand the endless suffering experienced by Xi'er.
After graduating from the China Conservatory of Music, in order to make his father proud of being a soldier, Lei Jia decided to learn from the famous musician Li Shuangjiang without hesitation, and firmly embarked on the road of artistic advancement.
Under the careful guidance of his mentor Li Shuangjiang, Lei Jia's musical talent has been further improved and has reached an unprecedented new realm. With her outstanding performance, she was successfully admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts to study for a master's degree and realized her dream of being a soldier.
After obtaining a master's degree, out of deep admiration for soldiers, Lei Jia worked harder and was admitted to the General Political Song and Dance Troupe of the Chinese People's Liberation Army with the highest score in the audience, officially becoming a glorious military singer.
Lei Jia, who was wearing a green uniform, was heroic on the stage, and she swayed with her high-pitched and passionate singing, showing a brave and fearless military demeanor. Over the years, she has sung popular songs such as "Luhua", "Home in the Heart", "Song of Rejuvenation", "Ten Thousand Flowers", "Good Sons, Good Daughters, Good Rivers", "Blue Flowers Bloom", "Good Days Live Slowly" and other popular songs, all of which have been warmly welcomed and enthusiastically pursued by the majority of military and civilians.
As a military singer, Lei Jia has never been afraid of the harsh environment. Over the years, she has gone to the front line of border and coastal defense many times, and even went to remote border outposts, bringing wonderful performances to the officers and soldiers there.
She always remembers every touching moment in those journeys full of hardships and challenges.
She will never forget that at a duty point in the Nansha Islands, there was a soldier who could not watch the performance because he was on duty, and she and Yan Weiwen specially sang a song for him, and the soldier was moved to tears at that time.
Lei Jia felt the deep shock and deep friendship when he once gave an affectionate condolence performance to the soldiers guarding the border of the motherland on the top of the distant Karakoram Mountains, which is still unforgettable.
This precious experience has become the most irreplaceable treasure in Lei Jia's heart after stepping into the road of singing, which has made her have a deeper understanding of the bitterness and dedication in the life of a soldier.
It is these bits and pieces of the past that put Lei Jia into his military career wholeheartedly, without complaints, and unforgettable. Therefore, when she stepped on the stage of "Singing for You" again and sang loudly for those brave and fearless border soldiers, the deep nostalgia and reluctance for her military career naturally came to her heart, and finally turned into a touching picture of her tears in her eyes on the stage.
Lei Jia resolutely decided to take off the military uniform that symbolized honor, devote himself to the field of education, and become an ordinary and great people's teacher. In the face of this major life choice, she is still full of nostalgia and confusion in her heart.
After all, she has been fighting for it for decades, and has composed a touching military hymn with her loud singing voice, which has won warm applause and high praise from the vast number of military and civilians across the country and even around the world.
Now, leaving the familiar stage calmly and bidding farewell to her former comrades-in-arms, her heart will inevitably be filled with a trace of reluctance and melancholy.
However, Lei Jia is well aware that the turning points and choices in her life are inevitable, and although she has left her military career, her love for art has always remained the same. She firmly believes that in her new professional position, she will be able to continue to dedicate her modest strength to the country and the people in her unique way.
Looking ahead, we have every reason to look forward to continuing to enjoy more of Ms. Leijia's performances. Because for a singer like her who has such a persistent pursuit of art and such a noble work ethic, no matter where she is, she will never stop pursuing art and sticking to her dreams.
We also sincerely wish that Lei Jia can show her talents in her new professional position and warm the hearts of more people with her unique musical charm. At the same time, I also hope that every fan who loves her songs can take her as an example, bravely chase their dreams, strive to improve their own quality, and spread more positive energy with practical actions.
Just like the little girl who used to have an endless passion for music, traveled thousands of miles alone to the distant Changsha, and unswervingly devoted herself to the study of Flower Drum Opera, she shaped her dreams with her strong willpower, and finally achieved her lifelong pursuit and yearning! Lei Jia, an outstanding artist, used his life course to perform a soul-shaking and morale-inspiring inspirational movement, which is really worthy of in-depth study and a model that will always be engraved in the hearts of every one of our esteemed audiences.
