Yu Junjian revealed to the Beijing News reporter that he himself learned from his colleagues in the original regiment at about 7 p.m. on March 2 that Mr. Crimea was not very comfortable, but he did not expect that in the end he still did not rescue him and left everyone forever.
The host, Nigmat, posted a tribute to Crimea, "How many people can love the stage and the audience as much as he does."

Kerim, born in June 1940 in Turpan, the "land of grapes", a Uyghur art family, his father was once the artistic director of the song and dance troupe, a "golden lock" blown far and wide, the mother is a dancer, the beautiful dance has poured countless audiences. Influenced by his family, Crimean was able to sing and dance from an early age, and his cheerful personality was not lacking in humor, which laid a solid foundation for his future artistic career. Crimea's performance is characterized by a combination of song and dance, full of strong national characteristics and a strong atmosphere of life, and is welcomed by audiences of different ages.
In 1951, at the age of 11, Crime came to the army and became a literary soldier while learning dance. 1959 was a major turning point in The crimea, the year he participated in the second all-army literary and art show, as the first singer to sing Uyghur songs in Chinese, Crimean's outstanding singing was praised by Mao Zedong, and also let everyone know and understand the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
After that, the 18-year-old Crimean broadened his horizons in the big city of Beijing, he knew that the stage was broader, and he was determined to sing here, spread his singing voice throughout the country and even the world, so that more people can understand Xinjiang through his singing and his dance. While singing songs that reflect life in Xinjiang, Crimea continues to compose in depth. The songs he composed and sang, "The Song of Avanti", "The River of tarim's Hometown", "Uncle Kurban, Where Are You Going", and "Lamb Skewers Fragrant and Fragrant" are all derived from life, which makes people hear the authentic Xinjiang flavor, which is still widely circulated and widely sung.

In 2009, he participated in the filming of the 2010 Lunar New Year film "Yolt Sonata", and for the first film and television work, Kerim said before he died: "I am not old, I can still make some contributions, I think the Uncle Crimean in the play is the most appropriate film and television role I have encountered in the past 60 years of art." ”
Yu Junjian also recalled to the Beijing News reporter the past between him and Crimean. As early as the late 1970s and early 1980s, As the leader of the solo singing group of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, the two often went to the army together, and they were impressed by the condolence performances in Laoshan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and other regions. "At that time, the General Political Song and Dance Troupe was not as many people as it is now, and at that time, there were only me and Teacher Crimea, Li Shuangjiang, Xiong Qingcai and a few other actors. Mr. Crimem is still my introducer to the party, and it is still relatively rare for a predecessor of an ethnic minority to introduce Han Chinese to join the Communist Party of China. ”
Yu Junjian said frankly that because Kerim comes from ethnic minorities, in fact, many living habits are not the same as ours, so there is not a lot of contact in life, only the two are together during performances. He recalled, "Mr. Crimean has a very cheerful personality, and usually likes to joke the most, especially when he speaks Mandarin, which always has a Xinjiang flavor, and when we joke and learn from him, he is particularly friendly." ”

In Yu Junjian's view, Crimea is an irreplaceable iconic figure of Xinjiang Uyghur songs, and also a representative figure in this song category, "It can be said that Xinjiang Uyghur songs have been widely disseminated, and the role played by Crimean teachers in them has not been replaced." His singing of "The Song of Avanti" and "Where Are You Uncle Kurban" are classics, many of our generation and even younger than us know the appearance of Uyghur music from his songs, and for the development of Chinese national vocal music, the role of Mr. Crimean is also irreplaceable. Yu Junjian further explained, "Now we say that the reason why Mr. Crimea's singing method is special is because he is not like many ethnic singing methods now, in fact, he uses Western interpretation methods, and he is really singing our national songs in our national language and national tone." As more and more old artists leave, we should raise a question worthy of serious consideration, how will the country's national vocal music be sung in the future, and how will it develop? We will always miss Mr. Crimean! ”
After hearing of Crimea's death, the host Nigmat also posted a tribute, "The young man left, always greeting everyone and greeting everyone, and the old boy who was alive and kicking on the stage." The directors love him, and they are afraid of him, afraid that he will not be able to stop when he goes on stage. He liked to talk to the audience, to everything, from the fifties to his Guran Damm. How many people can love the stage and the audience as much as he loves. Putting on that dress, he walked up to the stage like the 18-year-old hairy boy who had just arrived in Beijing, facing the audience and indulging in the overwhelming applause. As long as we remember him, he has no regrets. Goodbye, lad. Goodbye, Mr. Crimean. ”
