Although she is old, she still sings on stage in June this year.
From the first time I sang "The White-Haired Girl" to now, although 56 years have passed,
Years of fans, still can't forget her voice.
But for Zhu Fengbo, she never thought of singing when she was young.
Zhu Fengbo was born in 1937 to an intellectual family in Jinan.
His father was a hydraulic engineer, but he could not start a business for the country.
In the year Zhu Fengbo was born, the general environment changed.
She was in her infancy and drifted to Sichuan with her whole family.
Throughout his childhood, Zhu Fengbo grew up listening to Sichuan dialect.
At the age of 8, the family moved to Nanjing.
After 4 years, Zhu Fengbo finally returned to his hometown.
With her father as a professor at east China Water Conservancy Institute,
The family later returned to Nanjing.
It can be said that Zhu Fengbo spent his childhood mainly in Sichuan and Nanjing.
For her hometown of Jinan, she can only hear some distant memories from her parents.
Since his father was born in science and engineering, Zhu Fengbo also developed a strong interest in science when he was a child.
In middle school, she attended the Attached High School of Nanjing Normal University.
In the year of graduation at the age of 18, Zhu Fengbo was successfully admitted to Tongji University.
It can be said that her life up to this time has no intersection with singing and literature.
Zhu Fengbo, when he was in college, studied architecture.
At that time, her ideal was to be an outstanding architect like Lin Huiyin.
She is self-motivated and her hands-on drawings are quite accurate.
Moreover, with the continuous consolidation of theoretical knowledge, Zhu Fengbo often went to various construction sites for internship.
Although she is a girl, she can bear the harsh environment on the construction site.
Unconsciously, from the classroom to the construction site, her career as an architect lasted four or five years.
At the age of 23, she went to another construction site for an internship.
The main work is drawing mapping and site surveying.
The work was heavy, and she was busy on all fours during that time.
One day, the workers were all rumoring that the Shanghai Opera House was going to come to the performance.
At that time, in his spare time, Zhu Fengbo would also sing,
Everyone in the workshop knew she sang well.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the performance, Zhu Fengbo was also pushed onto the stage by everyone.
Many years later, Zhu Fengbo could not remember,
What she sang on stage that day.
However, her singing voice not only attracted the applause of her co-workers,
In particular, it attracted the attention of the leaders of the opera troupe.
After the performance, these professional actors pulled her to visit the opera house.
"You're very talented at singing." The head of the opera house said to her.
At that time, Zhu Fengbo did not know it, and the leader wanted to leave her behind.
After the transfer order was officially down, Zhu Fengbo had no opinion.
People in that era were willing to be the screws of the motherland's construction, and they would rush wherever they needed it.
In this way, Zhu Fengbo, who was originally ready to engage in architecture, became a singer in the opera house.
Talent is her strength, but many of the foundations of singing need to be learned from theory.
Therefore, under the arrangement of the opera house, Zhu Fengbo entered the Conservatory of Music to study vocal music.
At school, her teacher was Shi Hong'e.
The latter is only 3 years older than Zhu Fengbo,
The young girl gradually became interested in this young man in her heart.
After further study, Zhu Fengbo was transferred to the Shanghai Dance School.
She didn't know that her life would take a turn for the worse because of a song.
At that time, the school's dance team was rehearsing the ballet "The White-Haired Girl".
Zhu Fengbo was designated as the accompaniment singer of Xi'er in the play.
In the official performance that year, her singing voice was sung out, with super high recognition.
Moreover, the combination of bel canto singing and national singing suddenly made Zhu Fengbo famous in China.
Earlier, when she first entered the opera house, the leader had warned her to concentrate on learning songs.
Don't think about personal issues until you turn 30.
So in the past few years, although Zhu Fengbo has been surrounded by suitors continuously,
But none of them were really moved.
Until I met Shi Hong'e in my further studies at the Conservatory of Music,
The throbbing in the girl's heart gradually became uncontrollable.
Although I have the intention in my heart, I can often see it after graduation.
But Zhu Fengbo just didn't dare to show his true thoughts.
At that time, although Shi Hong'e was only 3 years older than Zhu Fengbo,
However, this young man has been determined to make a career in the singing world since he was a child.
Before he became Zhu Fengbo's teacher,
Shi Hong'e not only went to Europe to study vocal music, but also won the prize of the World Classical Music Competition.
Therefore, in Zhu Fengbo's mind, for a period of time, she felt that Shi Hong'e in her career was almost "unattainable".
And after all, the two people are not much different in age,
After getting acquainted, there is not only a teacher-student friendship, but also a friend relationship.
They often help each other, which has left a deep mark on Zhu Fengbo's heart.
After Singing "White Haired Girl" and having a certain popularity,
Her inner thoughts about Shi Hong'e seemed to go further.
The girl's intuition is also very accurate, in the usual interaction,
She can also gradually feel that in the eyes of the other party, in addition to friendship,
There is also another kind of feeling mixed in.
But things between men and women, how to let a girl speak first?
in case of......
And so, for a long time,
Zhu Fengbo was tangled between saying and not saying.
In the blink of an eye, she came to the age of 30.
In the 1960s, it was necessary to get married at such an age.
And Zhu Fengbo decided to take the initiative.
At the end of July of that year, one morning, Shi Hong'e, who was back at the unit, got off his bicycle at the door.
He went to the communications room and casually flipped through the newspaper of the day.
Suddenly, he saw a letter written to him on the table.
Putting down the newspaper, Shi Hong'e opened the letter.
At a glance, I found that it was written by Zhu Fengbo.
There was only one sentence in the letter, waiting for me at the landing of the rehearsal hall at 11 p.m.
After reading the letter, Shi Hong'e almost stayed where he was.
Excited, he hardly knew what to do next.
It turned out that he also liked Zhu Fengbo in his heart,
It was just that day after day passed, and Shi Hong'e did not say anything.
At that time, in his mind, Zhu Fengbo was like a goddess,
Not only are people beautiful, but they are also virtuous and capable.
How many times has he plucked up enough courage to speak his heart,
However, every time the words came to the lips, they swallowed back.
If she rejects herself, won't she be unable to be a friend?
During the whole day, Shi Hong'e didn't know how to spend it.
In the evening of the same day, there was also a thunderstorm in Shanghai in July.
Shi Hong'e, who was not tired, could not wait until 11 o'clock.
He wore a short sleeve and looked in the mirror as he was about to leave the house.
Like a thief, he crept up to the stairwell.
After a while, Zhu Fengbo's figure also appeared in the dim light.
The two men stood so dumbfounded, he didn't pay attention for a moment,
What kind of clothes are worn by the goddess in my mind.
In that conservative era, the love affair between men and women was also sneaky.
Shi Hong'e knew very well that the two men had to say something and then get out of here as soon as possible.
If this is not seen by chance, the relationship between the two people cannot be said to be small,
It can even be criticized for this.
However, the more anxious he was, the more Shi Hong'e couldn't remember what to say.
On the contrary, Zhu Fengbo seemed capable and direct at this time.
"I'm going to marry you, and it'll be in 5 days."
How difficult it is to say such a thing out of a girl's mouth.
After saying that, the girl cried.
Shi Hong'e on the stage, his mouth is so sharp,
However, at this moment, facing Zhu Fengbo directly, he could hear it very clearly, but he still couldn't say anything.
After all, he was suddenly shot by the arrow of love Cupid, and he was about to faint.
But he didn't faint in the end.
Instead, he immediately reacted and greeted Zhu Fengbo with his thick body.
Before that, the two had known each other for several years, but had almost never been alone.
Even if we rehearse and sing together, we have never sat together during breaks.
And now, the two people are about to enter the palace of marriage.
There was no bride price, no decent furniture and dresses, not even a house to live in.
Finally, it was the unit that "lent" them a 10 square meter house,
On August 1 of that year, the two men moved from their respective dormitories to this room.
Wire bed plus two chairs and two stools, plus some music books from each other,
That's all they have.
When they got married, they felt that the house was too shabby, so the two of them bought a second-hand piano.
One is a soprano singer, the other is a tenor singer,
Since then, they have formed a pair of couples that make the outside world envious.
Since then, Zhu Fengbo has successively served as a soloist in the ballet company and the song and dance troupe.
Due to his reputation, Zhu Fengbo's performance tasks are many.
In the 1970s, she spent a long time in Beijing.
When there is a performance task, she has to hurry up and attend.
In 1977, Zhu Fengbo visited Canada with the troupe.
Locally, she sang "Wandering Canadian" in French.
At that time, she was on the scene and she sang and cried a lot of Canadians.
After entering the 1980s, Zhu Fengbo sang a large number of foreign popular songs because of his cover.
As a result, he became the earliest pop music star in the Chinese music scene.
At the age of 48, she initiated the establishment of the Shanghai Light Music Troupe.
At that time, Zhu Fengbo was invited to perform all over the country.
Every time, she would say that if she wanted to take a group, she couldn't just invite herself.
It is said that every time you perform at the 10,000-person stadium in Shanghai, the bus outside the stadium,
Even if you just pass by the station, the people on the bus will hurr and come down.
Until his retirement, Zhu Fengbo served as the leader of the light music troupe.
As he grew older, Zhu Fengbo and her husband both fell in love with dogs.
The two first had a Sych dog named Mike, who enjoyed interacting with people.
Soon, a friend of the acrobatic troupe asked her:
There is a eliminated dog named Tony, would you like to keep it?
It was a Maltese dog that was originally raised by an acrobatic troupe for performance.
But this dog is not only sick, but also timid and can't perform,
The acrobatic troupe eventually decided to find someone to adopt.
In this way, Tony came to Zhu Fengbo's house.
Two dogs suddenly appeared in the house, and it was immediately lively.
Sych dog Mike is very welcome to his new playmate,
Often jumping up and down in front of Tony.
Helplessly, Tony is not wild, no matter how provocative the former is, he does not play with each other.
Gradually, in the eating, the Sych dog often bullied Tony.
So much so that the latter gradually became depressed, hiding in the corner all day without moving.
Zhu Fengbo and her husband did not want to look at this dog like this,
So he gave away the crazy Xishi dog.
With only one dog left, the house was much quieter, and it became very docile.
However, after a long time of keeping,
The dog is very close to her husband Shi Hong'e, and often ignores Zhu Fengbo's love.
On weekdays, she and her husband were at home, and Tony circled around him, either letting him hold him or licking his feet.
So much so that when talking to his friends about this matter, Zhu Fengbo seemed very boring.
There was even a time when Shi Hong'e went out to perform, Zhu Fengbo was at home alone, and the dog did not eat.
In the end, Zhu Fengbo had to call her husband in the evening and let the dog hear Shi Hong'e's voice.
That's how it eats.
In the blink of an eye, Tony stayed at Zhu Fengbo's house for 6 years.
Zhu Fengbo once told a friend that she likes the clinginess of dogs.
And as the husband's body is getting worse every day,
The care of two people for each other is more than the love of pets.
When Shi Hong'e was 65 years old, he had heart bypass surgery.
Since then, he has hardly stopped performing on stage.
Nine years later, in 2008, Shi Hong'e died of illness.
A week before his death, Shi Hong'e was hospitalized because of a cold.
After his death, the saddest thing was Zhu Fengbo.
Two people have gone through 40 years of ups and downs,
On the day of the memorial service, she cried several times at the scene.
At her husband's funeral, Zhu Fengbo could not bear to bury him coldly,
Zhu Fengbo arranged the room as before.
In the bedroom, there was an extra case.
On it was her husband's urn and his photograph.
Around, there are the records of my husband's life,
Among them, there are both her husband's solo and his chorus with Zhu Fengbo.
In this way, Zhu Fengbo, who was getting older, felt,
The husband is still by his side.
Now, 13 years later, Zhu Fengbo himself has suffered from diabetes, but his body is still relatively tough.
Every day, the TV at home is on most of the time, and her favorite thing to watch is the news.
At dinner, in addition to rice and vegetables, she also eats a small piece of steak every day, which is her favorite now.
The food in the family is bought by his son every day.
She lives in the same building as her son, but the juniors are alone.
She doesn't want a babysitter, and the meals are cooked by herself.
The son also only invited his mother to work part-time a few times a week, mainly to wash clothes.
She said she wasn't lonely right now.
After her husband's death, many fans often came to accompany her.
However, Zhu Fengbo prefers to make them friends.
Every day after eating, she would go downstairs and take a little walk in the neighborhood.
Her happiest moment is every Friday afternoon.
In his son's car, he went to school to pick up his granddaughter from school.
My granddaughter is already in college and comes home every weekend.
Looking at his adolescent granddaughter, Zhu Fengbo may think of himself when he was young.
And whenever I look at the picture of my husband in the bedroom,
She might faintly hear her husband hanging his throat on the balcony.
