Although Sun Tao has been honored in the Spring Festival Gala Hall for the 18th time, under the star-studded sky, he still has the desire to create a masterpiece that truly engraves his soul. The years have passed, twenty-nine years of spring and autumn changes, and even his iconic "I am proud" has been quietly plated with a layer of glaze of time.
Sun Tao, a talented man born in Shandong in 1968, has been immersed in the fragrance of art since he was a child. His mother, gentle at home, uses love as ink to paint a warm picture of the family; His father, Sun Wei, is a generation of grandmasters in the local "Allegro book" industry, with outstanding skills and a far-reaching reputation. Under the careful cultivation of his father, Sun Tao has been familiar with this art since he was a child, and has mastered three or four essences, and his foundation is as solid as a rock.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people. The young Sun Tao was afraid of the stage, like a child who was on the battlefield for the first time, helpless and his words were discolored. But the turning point of fate often comes quietly and inadvertently. In 1984, after graduating from high school, he resolutely gave up the road of further study and chose to join the military and become a "literary soldier". The crucible of the barracks not only tempered his physique, but also forged his indomitable will and courage to move forward. The timid boy on the stage of the past has transformed into a confident warrior and has begun to ride the wind and waves in the sea of art.
By chance, Sun Tao became attached to "cross talk", and won the first prize of the all-army literary and artistic performance in one fell swoop with his outstanding performance in the drama "Love in the Mountains". Since then, his artistic path has been like the dawn of dawn, illuminating the way forward. The stage is no longer a nightmare, but a temple for him to show himself and enjoy glory. Participating in competitions, winning awards, and honors followed, and in just one year, he went from obscurity to a dazzling "little star" in the army.
In order to pursue a higher artistic realm, Sun Tao stepped into the door of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts. Here, the masters are like clouds, the competition is fierce, although he is no longer as dazzling as in the past, but he has also harvested the sweetness of love in silent cultivation. His wife, Li Li, is not only his virtuous helper, but also his soul mate on the road of art. The two went hand in hand, exploring the boundaries of creativity together, writing scripts, and refining them repeatedly, just for that moment of brilliance.
The sketch "Picket" was born, allowing Sun Tao to successfully knock on the door of the Spring Festival Gala. However, the joy of success did not last long, and the sudden change caught the two off guard - Li Li was replaced. In the face of this blow, although Sun Tao was furious, he had no choice but to compromise. On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he won the love of hundreds of millions of viewers with his superb acting skills, and also reaped the fruits of his love with Li Li.
However, there are many people who are popular. With the increase of Sun Tao's popularity, doubts about his "relying on women to get on the throne" and "exaggerated acting skills" have also followed. For these criticisms, Sun Tao treated them indifferently. He knows that without Li Li's silent support and selfless dedication, he would not have achieved what he is today. Therefore, he not only frequently mentions his wife in the show, but also regards her as his most solid backing in private.
Those who think he lacks a sense of humor may just not have a deep understanding of his inner world. Sun Tao's humor is like a clear spring in the mountains, although it is not publicized, it is refreshing. Although his appearance is ordinary, the phrase "I am proud" has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
On the road of art, Sun Tao has always maintained a sense of awe for creation and gratitude to the audience. He knows that only by continuously improving the quality of his works can he win the recognition of the audience. Therefore, he continues to challenge himself and break through the limits just to leave more unforgettable classic moments on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. There is still a long way to go, but he is ready to continue with more enthusiasm and determination.
