Dream is green silk, and the rouge is dyed
Jiang Yishan was born in 1978, her ancestral home is Tianjin, and she grew up in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. According to her own recollections, her family has been related to art for eight generations, and it is an ordinary working family. But the god of fate seems to have decided early on to push her on the path of art.
When she was 6 years old, the naughty and lovely Jiang Yishan was sent by her parents to study in a dance class, which opened her road to artistic enlightenment. At the age of 8, Jiang Yishan, known as the "stage baby", was taken under the command of both the Liaoning Ballet and the Opera House, learning ballet and vocal music respectively.
At the age of 12, Jiang Yishan entered the Peking Opera major of Liaoning Art School, officially starting her Peking Opera learning path. A generation of grandmasters Zhang Yunlei and Xue Yaping have become her mentors, and with strict teaching methods and artistic accomplishments, they have completely changed this girl who once "loved to toss and play".
"The masters taught me the principles of being a person and doing things, and made me understand what etiquette, rules, and responsibility are." Jiang Yishan later said. Compared to her family, the masters are more like her true teachers of artistic enlightenment.
Since childhood, she has shown extraordinary artistic talent, coupled with her diligent and studious personality, Jiang Yishan has gradually galloped on the road of Peking Opera art. After graduating from high school at the age of 18, she entered the Shenyang Peking Opera Company through assignment.
At the age of 22, she was transferred to the Tianjin Peking Opera Company, and at the age of 28, she finally entered the Beijing Peking Opera Company, which is the highest temple of Peking Opera art in China.
The capital of Guigui is astonishing
After entering the Beijing Peking Opera Company, Jiang Yishan can be said to have encountered another important turning point in her career. Here, she got acquainted with Mei Baojiu, the grandmaster of the Mei School, and worshipped her as a teacher, and began to abandon the Zhang School of study in the past, and devoted herself to the study and study of the Mei School.
This turning point made Jiang Yishan fall into a period of wandering and confusion. The artistic styles of different schools are very different, from the Zhang School to the Mei School, which is undoubtedly an artistic baptism for her, and she has to tear down everything she has learned before.
"I felt like I was drenched in cold water, and I cried for several nights." Jiang Yishan later recalled, "Fortunately, my teachers have always been by my side to enlighten and encourage me, so that I can regain my confidence." "
After going through hardships, Jiang Yishan finally gradually integrated and fused the artistic characteristics of the two major genres into one furnace, forming her own unique performance style - "show off and be wise, delicate and introverted".
In 2005, Jiang Yishan's outstanding performance in the Peking Opera "Qin Xianglian" won her the Leading Role Award at the 21st Shanghai Magnolia Theatre Performing Arts Awards.
Immediately afterwards, she won the 26th Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Drama in 2008 with "The Drunken Concubine", and in 2009, she won the 9th China Golden Record Award with "Dream in the Garden". For a time, Jiang Yishan became the winner of the "Three Awards" in Beijing.
In addition to these heavyweight awards, Jiang Yishan's representative works also include "White Lady", "Bullish Spirit", "Meng Lijun" and so on. These classic repertoire with different scenes have been skillfully interpreted by her and shown a unique personal style.
Some comments praised her like this: "Jiang Yishan is like a finely crafted work of art, elegant and generous on the outside, and there is an amazing connotation on the inside."
Not only is the artist bold and the beauty of the drama more refined, Jiang Yishan's pure and beautiful appearance and delicate and restrained physical temperament also add a unique charm to her on the stage.
Netizens went crazy about it, and gave her nicknames such as "Bing Xue Smart" and "Gentle and Dignified", and praised her as a "walking story" in the new generation of Peking Opera.
Jiang Yishan was honorably awarded the title of "Cultural Ambassador" by the United Nations, and was awarded the "Cultural Ambassador" trophy and certificate by Pace University in United States. In 2012, the Beijing Welfare Foundation for the Disabled also awarded her the title of "Love Ambassador".
Art has love, and life is warm
While her career is taking off, Jiang Yishan's life is also getting better. At the end of 2006, at the age of 28, she married an ordinary person outside the circle and started a new family.
The wedding scene was so lively that the 200 tables booked for the banquet were not enough, so family and friends had to open another 50 tables. Unexpectedly, even nearby theater fans came to see the beauty of this "Beijing baby". It can be seen that Jiang Yishan was already a smash hit idol star at that time!
Jiang Yishan's husband, Mr. Zhang, is an ordinary salaryman who is far from the art world. But he is such a man with no artistic background, but he was deeply attracted by Jiang Yishan.
"She is a very positive girl, warm and sincere to others, and has a positive attitude towards life and career, which makes people feel like a spring breeze." Mr. Zhang commented on his wife.
Not only that, Jiang Yishan took great care of her husband, patiently popularizing the knowledge of Peking Opera to him and taking him to understand this ancient art. Soon, Mr. Zhang not only fell in love with Peking Opera, but even his parents were slowly infected by Jiang Yishan and became loyal fans of Peking Opera.
In this way, an ordinary family who originally knew nothing about art was completely changed by Jiang Yishan with her enthusiasm and charm, and the whole family fell in love with this art.
In 2007, Jiang Yishan gave birth to a son named Liu Zhixu. Liu Zhixu inherited his mother's artistic talent since he was a child, not only can sing Peking Opera, but also plays a good erhu.
Jiang Yishan's education of her son is also unique. When he was 9 years old, Liu Zhixu cooperated with the famous Peking Opera actor Li Weijian in a wonderful cross talk performance, which won bursts of applause from the audience. Later, in an interview, Jiang Yishan said: "I hope my son can learn to appreciate the charm of art from an early age and cultivate a good aesthetic taste."
There are countless intimate interactive videos of Jiang Yishan and her son Liu Zhixu circulating on the Internet, from which it can be seen that there is a happy little family. Jiang Jiang, who has superb artistic attainments, is also a good wife and mother in life.
The chapter of life is generally terminated by a mystery
Just as Jiang Yishan's career and life were at the peak of her life, a sudden bad news brought everything to an abrupt end.
One day five years ago, Jiang Yishan suddenly died at home in Beijing at the age of 41. As soon as the news of the death broke, it immediately caused a sensation across the country and even around the world.
After all, the early 40s are the golden period of an actor's career, and Jiang Yishan's current state is also thriving, how could the flower of life wither so suddenly?
Regarding the reason for Jiang Yishan's death, the Internet is full of various speculations and versions. Some speculate that she died of a heart attack, while others say she hanged herself. Some people also claimed that she was actually implicated because of her husband's fall, which led to a heavy mental injury and finally chose to kill herself.
Jiang Yishan's husband, Mr. Zhang, did not comment on this, but posted a photo with his wife on social media, leaving the words "I love you forever" with a sad attitude.
In fact, as early as November, some netizens had already left messages under Jiang Yishan's social account, saying that "it's a bit abnormal to look at her recently". Some die-hard fans who have followed her for many years also said that they watched her last performance in Shijiazhuang at the end of November five years ago, and everything was still as usual at that time, and the stage makeup and mental state were very good, not at all like the "trance" that was rumored later.
Even her relatives and friends were confused, and until now they are still shocked and puzzled by her sudden death.
"Yishan has always taken 'life has drama, life has love' as her motto." A close friend of hers said, "She is full of work energy, and the environment and family are very beautiful, how could she choose to commit suicide?" None of us want to believe that. "
In response to all kinds of speculation on the Internet, some insiders have also begun to expose some new versions one after another, such as some people claiming that Jiang Yishan was drinking and chatting with friends at home on the day of the incident, and accidentally died of alcohol abuse during the incident; Some people also said that she actually had a physical disability when she was practicing at home, and she couldn't talk about it, and finally chose to cut herself off.
But none of these versions have been confirmed, and we can only believe it for now. The only thing that is certain is that the fact that Jiang Yishan died suddenly has brought a heavy blow to both the drama world and the audience, which is beyond doubt.
Friends posted photos with Jiang Yishan on social media, accompanied by words of condolence, expressing deep reluctance to her sudden death.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar. People can't help but ask, why did this Peking Opera star, who should be full of energy and shine, leave this stage so early and forever?
All kinds of speculation and analysis spread on the Internet like radioactive dust, but where the mystery is, I'm afraid only Jiang Yishan herself knows.
When the god of fate took her, it seemed that all he left was a string of unanswered question marks. Obviously everything is so beautiful, why did she leave in such a hurry? This will probably become a mystery forever.
