In the small patio of the house, my mother would often sing a Peking opera. Despite the poverty of the family, the mother's singing voice is like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the family. Young Lee and her siblings sit quietly and listen to their mother's singing.
These precious moments have become the best memories of her childhood.
Li Shengsu became intrigued by the charm of Peking Opera, and she began to dream of one day standing on the stage to perform the essence of Peking Opera like her mother. However, the family's poverty situation makes this dream seem out of reach.
Lee Seung-su secretly made a wish that one day in the future, she would be able to perform on stage with the same pride as her mother.
Despite her poor family, her parents did not stop Li Shengsu's love for Peking Opera, but fully supported her to pursue her dream. In their opinion, children have the opportunity to pursue their favorite careers, and life is good enough.
In this way, in a poor but loving family, Li Shengsu's love for Peking Opera was like a seed deeply implanted in her young heart. This persistent love not only laid a solid foundation for her to finally embark on the road of Peking Opera, but also became a source of motivation for her to overcome many difficulties.
Lee practiced from dawn to late at night every day, enduring physical pain and mental pressure. She knows that only by putting in more effort than others can she gain a firm foothold in the highly competitive field.
Even when her legs were so sore that she could barely stand, she continued to practice each movement until she was perfect.
On this arduous road of study, Li Shengsu watered his dreams with hard sweat and moved towards the goal step by step. Her efforts not only changed her fate, but also laid a solid foundation for her future development in the Peking Opera industry.
Li Shengsu's experience is the epitome of the hard work of countless Peking Opera artists, fully demonstrating the tenacity and perseverance in the inheritance of traditional arts.
Li Shengsu's in-depth research and inheritance of the Mei School art not only enhanced her own artistic attainments, but also made a key contribution to the inheritance of the Mei School art. Her efforts and achievements have been highly recognized and appreciated by Mei Baojiu.
Mei Baojiu once said that Li Shengsu not only inherited the essence of the Mei School, but also innovated on this basis, and is a rare inheritor of the Mei School art.
By becoming a descendant of the Mei School, Li Shengsu not only achieved significant improvement in skills, but also gained a deeper understanding of spiritual comprehension. She began to appreciate the unique charm of Peking Opera, which laid the foundation for her later outstanding performances on stage, and also made her increasingly important in the Peking Opera industry.
Lee was not satisfied. She knows that a true artist should not only rely on appearance, but also conquer the audience with profound skills and unique artistic charm. She continues to work hard, constantly push herself, and put herself into perfection in every performance.
As time went on, Lee's performances became more and more mature. What she showed on stage was not only superb skills, but also a deep understanding of the role and deep emotional expression.
Whether it is the quiet and elegant Tsing Yi or the heroic Dao Ma Dan, she can control it freely, showing the inner world of the character to the fullest, bringing the audience deep moving and thinking.
In addition to her outstanding performance on stage, she is also actively involved in the promotion and inheritance of the art of Peking Opera. She often participates in various cultural exchange activities to attract more young audiences to love Peking Opera. Her efforts have made important contributions to the development of Peking Opera as a traditional art in the new era.
As Lee's professional achievements have become more and more significant, her private life has also attracted more and more public attention. However, fame also brought many controversies, especially rumors about her "four gossip husbands".
Lee Seung-so's marital status has always attracted the attention of fans. However, she has never publicly responded to these rumors. Most actors speak with their work, rather than relying on their private lives to gain attention.
Lee's attitude has won the respect of many. She shows not only the talent of an artist, but also the wisdom and calmness of a mature woman. She proved with practical actions that real artists do not need to rely on scandals to gain attention, but should use their works and personality charm to impress the audience.
Although many people questioned Lee's abilities, she always maintained her dedication and love for art. Her life and career are closely related to Peking Opera, and she constantly pursues perfection on the stage.
This professionalism and dedication to art have made her more and more stable in the hearts of the audience, and she has also won more respect and recognition.
As time passed, Li Shengsu was already over fifty years old. However, her passion for Peking Opera has never diminished. In October 2023, the 57-year-old Li Shengsu took over as the dean of the Beijing Vocational College of Drama Arts, which also marked the beginning of a new chapter in her artistic career.
In his new position, Li Shengsu has shouldered the important task of inheriting and innovating the art of Peking Opera. She knows that in order for this ancient art to be brought to life in the new era, it is necessary to stay true to tradition and keep up with the times.
She is actively involved in innovative projects, such as the recording of "China in the Classics", which presents the art of Peking Opera to the audience in a new form.
Although Lee Seung-so is older, he is still active on the stage. In August 2023, she performed the classic play "Mu Guiying in Command" in "China Mei Lanfang Grand Theater". Each of her performances is full of passion and shows her love for the art of Peking Opera.
In this way, she told the younger generation that art has nothing to do with age, as long as there is a pursuit, you will always be young.
As the dean of the Academy, Li Shengsu has been committed to cultivating a new generation of Peking Opera talents, focusing on innovation based on tradition. She encouraged the students to not only have an in-depth grasp of traditional skills, but also to have an open mind to create Peking Opera works that meet contemporary aesthetics.
In October 2023, she was selected as a Distinguished Professor at Peking University, which not only affirms her personal achievements, but also reflects the high importance that society attaches to the art of Peking Opera.
Today, Li Shengsu still loves and is obsessed with Peking Opera, and she has truly reproduced what a real artist is with her practical actions, and she has contributed her strength to the inheritance and development of Peking Opera, a traditional art.
