In 1987, the Children's Piano Competition of the Three Eastern Provinces was held as scheduled.
That year, the top of the list was a 5-year-old boy who didn't look very impressive, Lang Lang.
In the same year, a girl named Liu Yifei was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
Shortly after Liu Yifei was born, the Pingliang Gong family in Gansu province was overjoyed.
At this time, there were still seven years before the birth of a Mixed German-Korean child named Gina.
However, these three girls from the north of the South China Sea did not know.
In the future, something called fate will tie their names tightly to the little baby fat and shy teenager Lang Lang in front of them.
01
Lang Lang was born on June 14, 1982 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
His grandfather worked as a music teacher at a normal school, and his father, Lang Guoren, was also a literary and artistic soldier in the army, a professional erhu player, and became a people's policeman after retiring from the army.
My mother is a staff member of the Shenyang Automation Research Switchboard of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Under the influence of his family, Lang Lang showed interest and talent in music at a very young age.
When he was only two years old, he was attracted by the cartoon Tom Cat playing "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2", which led to a strong interest in the piano.
And also played a similar basic melody on his own domestic upright piano.
This greatly surprised Lang Guoren, and from then on he began to enlighten him in the piano.
In 1985, at the age of three, Lang Lang officially studied piano with Professor Zhu Yafen of the Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
In 1987, after Lang Lang won the first competition in his life, he had almost only a piano in his life.
In 1989, Lang Lang ushered in the second competition in his life- the first Shenyang Children's Piano Competition. This time, Lang Lang still played well and won the first place again.
His son had such a high talent in the piano, Lang Guoren had the idea of training him to become a pianist, but this required a better teacher.
So he chose to resign and took Lang Lang on the road to Beijing to study.
The time spent studying in Beijing was the most difficult time for the family, and the family's living expenses were only supported by lang Lang's mother's income.
However, Lang Guoren's evaluation of Lang Lang by the teacher he found in Beijing made the family's situation worse.
So what is her assessment?
The first two negate Lang Lang's talent, and the "smashing and grabbing style" refers to Lang Lang's expression and body movements when playing. He easily began to get excited when he played, and his slightly exaggerated expression and large movements caused a lot of controversy later.
Many people will say that he deliberately designed it to attract people's attention.
In fact, it is not, this is Lang Guoren trained from childhood.
In order to allow Lang Lang to enter a state of excitement at any time, when he was very young, Lang Guoren would start, wake up Lang Lang who was asleep at any time, and then let him play the corresponding piano track according to his own requirements.
After more training, Lang Lang developed this habit.
But it was because of the excitement that he suffered the blow and humiliation of the piano teacher at this time, and she said this sentence ruthlessly:
This made Lang Lang gradually doubt himself.
This also made Lang Guoren's eyes red, he had always believed that his son was a genius, and did not understand what the teacher had come to this conclusion.
Unable to understand, he asked Lang Lang to add an additional hour of practice time every day.
However, Lang Lang felt that this did not have any effect or meaning.
He began to change.
And Lang Guoren was the first person to perceive Lang Lang's change, but he had been patient.
Until one day, Lang Lang came home late, delaying more than two hours of practicing the piano, and Lang Guoren broke out, loudly questioning whether he was going to give up and whether he wanted to ruin the family's life.
Lang Lang was startled by his questioning and quickly explained.
But Lang Guoren did not listen at all, not only scolding him as a liar and a slacker, but also scolding him more and more fiercely, and finally directly let him die.
He grabbed a bottle of medicine, poured out all the pills, and let Lang Lang swallow it.
Lang Lang did not swallow the pills, and Lang Guoren pointed to the window again and asked him to jump off the building.
In order to discourage his father, Lang Lang could only constantly admit his mistakes, apologize, and make promises.
Seeing the situation, Lang Guoren's attitude slowly calmed down, but he still said harsh words to Lang Lang:
In the face of this sudden situation, Lang Lang, who was only nine years old, had no other way but to continue practicing the piano according to his father's requirements.
But fortunately, fate did not live up to his insistence.
02
In 1991, Lang Lang came out on top in the army of applicants and was successfully admitted to his favorite school, the Affiliated Primary School of the Central Conservatory of Music.
And this achievement also allowed Lang Guoren and Lang Lang to regain confidence. He began to take Lang Lang with him and participate in various competitions at his own expense.
From 1993 to 1994, Lang Lang performed well in two competitions.
On the day he won the championship in Germany, in Another city in the country, Wiesbaden, Gina was born.
But the fate that belonged to both of them was still twenty-two years later.
In 1995, the second Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition was held as scheduled in Sendai, Japan.
This time, Lang Lang was sent abroad to participate in the competition, and he also lived up to expectations and won the gold medal.
After returning from Japan, Lang Lang gave his second solo concert in Beijing.
In 1997, Lang Lang was successfully admitted to the Curtis Conservatory of Music with excellent results. Shortly after entering the school, Lang Lang successfully studied under Grafman, the director of the Curtiss Conservatory.
Graffman, on the other hand, is also an authority figure in the classical music world.
At this time, there were only two years left before he became famous.
In 1999, Lang Lang, who had just turned 17, was invited to Chicago, USA, to participate in the "Lavini Music Festival" Century Celebration Star Concert.
The concert was about to start, but it happened unexpectedly.
One of the piano masters suddenly felt unwell and could not play on stage.
And this accident became Lang Lang's opportunity, he became a substitute, was pushed to the stage.
So how did he perform?
Lang Lang naturally seized this opportunity to amaze the world with a "Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto".
After that, not only was queen Elizabeth invited to perform at the Diamond Celebration, but he also gave a solo recital at the White House.
Just when Lang Lang began his music performance career, Liu Yifei at this time had been in the United States for two years.
However, the two did not have any intersection at this time.
03
In 1997, when Lang Lang was admitted to the Curtis Conservatory of Music, Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli and her father An Shaokang had just ended their marriage.
Shortly after the divorce, Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei away to the United States.
Liu Yifei's life in the United States is very good, her stepfather is a barrister in the United States, powerful and powerful, and her mother Liu Xiaoli also has a good job and a high income.
But in 2002, Liu Yifei abruptly left the United States, where she had lived for five years, and returned to China.
Why?
It turned out that she liked acting, and soon after returning to China, she was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. At the same time, because of her good appearance, Liu Yifei also shot a lot of advertisements.
It is also because of these advertisements that Liu Yifei ushered in the opportunity to enter the show business circle.
Producer You Jianming accidentally saw the advertisement she made and felt that she was very in line with the rich lady Bai Xiuzhu in the Republic of China love drama "Golden Powder Family" that was in preparation, so he immediately contacted Liu Yifei and invited her to play Bai Xiuzhu.
Liu Yifei, who has just been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, naturally will not refuse this opportunity.
In 2003, with the popularity of "Golden Powder Family", Bai Xiuzhu, who dared to love and hate in the play, quickly gained the love of the audience.
At the end of the year, "Tianlong Babu", starring Liu Yifei, once broadcast, made Liu Yifei's fame soar.
Many people think that in time, she will become a superstar.
Just when Liu Yifei broke through in the show business circle, the girl in Gansu, Gong Xinliang, was faced with a choice related to her life path.
04
In 2003, Gong Xinliang graduated from secondary school, and her preschool teacher major meant that she was about to become a kindergarten teacher.
However, at the age of sixteen, she longed for the outside world more and did not want to stay in Gansu for the rest of her life.
So she decided to go north.
At that time, Gong Xinliang did not know that this choice of his own would completely change his life.
Soon after arriving in Beijing, she quickly applied for a job as a clerk at a real estate company.
A year later, under the influence of her mother, she switched from the real estate industry to the financial industry. In her early twenties, she was promoted to assistant to the president and was already well known in the industry.
In 2006, when Gong Xinliang was still working hard to be the assistant to the president, Lang Lang and Liu Yifei had an intersection.
This year, when Lang Guoren was interviewed, he suddenly mentioned that a friend wanted to be a matchmaker for Lang Lang, saying that there was a girl who liked Lang Lang very much and hoped to have the opportunity to become a boyfriend and girlfriend with Lang Lang.
And the girl he said was Liu Yifei, who was just red at this time.
But Lang Lang did not agree to the matchmaker, because he was too busy, busy playing all over the world, busy launching a personal piano performance album, busy with the Spring Festival Gala.
In the interview, Lang Guoren also made a joke: only a royal princess can be worthy of Lang Lang.
As soon as Liu Yifei's "pursuit" of Lang Lang broke out, it immediately caused a heated discussion.
The media have interviewed Liu Yifei on this matter, but dramatically, Liu Yifei bluntly said that she does not know any Lang Lang, for her, playing the piano, playing cotton, for her, there is no impact.
After Liu Yifei responded positively, the rumors about the two of them decreased a lot, but whenever they had any emotional situations, this old thing would be turned over again.
In 2015, when Lang Lang was still busy playing around the world, Liu Yifei opened up her relationship with South Korean actor Song Seung-hyun.
Unlike Liu Yifei's generous and frank love affair, the secret love between Lang Lang and Gong Xinliang was dug up by the media.
05
In 2008, due to a chance, Gong Xinliang met Huayi President Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei.
Because of her good appearance and very distinctive voice, she attracted their attention, and she also got the opportunity to move from the financial industry to the acting industry.
This year, she starred in the New Year film "Do Not Disturb", directed by Feng Xiaogang.
In the film, he played the role of Fan Wei's secretary and was well known to the public, and was nominated for the Best Newcomer of the Hundred Flowers Award for this role, thus officially starting his acting career.
It was also in this year that Lang Lang and she met at a party.
As soon as this hot girl appeared, she immediately attracted Lang Lang's attention. After that, Lang Lang launched a fierce pursuit of this girl who fell in love at first sight.
In the face of the talented pianist, Gong Xinliang had no resistance and soon fell in love with Lang Lang. However, this love affair, Lang Lang did not choose to make it public.
However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the two dating is taken by the media, and intimate photos are frequently exposed.
However, in the face of this evidence, the two still did not admit to the relationship.
Lang Lang said they were ordinary friends, while Gong Xinliang said that he was a fan of Lang Lang, nothing more.
Just when everyone was still watching this relationship, the media suddenly spread the standard of the mother-in-law of the lang mother to the daughter-in-law - Shuxiang Mendi, the lowest graduate student.
Looking at Gong Xinliang's secondary school education, this standard is undoubtedly Lang's mother indirectly stating her position, and she does not support this relationship.
In 2013, under the interference of parents, this four-year "secret love" finally came to an end.
In the same year, Gina Alice gave a solo piano recital, was an internationally renowned pianist, and won several awards.
At this time, there are still five years left before the two meet.
06
In 2016, Lang Lang and Gina met in New York, USA. At that time, the two were invited to participate in the World Piano Concert, and also collaborated on a four-handed continuous performance of the "Turkish March", which was a great success.
To Lang Lang's surprise, Gina also studied under Grafman.
Brothers and sisters of the same door, the same pianist, the more the two talked more speculatively, and soon developed into boyfriend and girlfriend. Shortly after falling in love, Lang Lang generously disclosed their love affair.
Because of the age difference of one round, Lang Lang's parents felt that the two were not suitable. In order to reassure his parents, Lang Lang created opportunities for them to get to know each other better.
Gina also made many efforts for this love, such as learning Chinese and learning to cook Chinese food.
Eventually, in the midst of a day-to-day relationship, Lang Lang's parents accepted Gina.
On June 2, 2019, two people who had been in love for three years held a wedding at the Palace of Versailles in Paris. At the wedding, Lang Lang also played a song "Dedicated to Alice" for Gina to express his affection for Gina.
After marriage, the couple joined hands in variety shows and played piano music together, which was very sweet.
On January 28, 2021, this sweet little family was upgraded to a happy family of three.
After harvesting a happy and happy family, Lang Lang continued to be active in variety shows and major concerts, and opened piano classes, continuing to promote classical music.
But for Lang Lang, the most important and happy thing this year is that Lang Lang Studio officially entered the Taihu Choreographic Art Center of the National Centre for the Performing Arts on August 20.
You know, the stage of the National Centre for the Performing Arts is not only the yearning of domestic artists, but also the ultimate goal of overseas artists.
The studio was able to enter the National Centre for the Performing Arts, which is not only a recognition of him, but also a new journey for him.
On September 20, Lang Lang announced the official opening of his overseas concert tour.
On the evening of October 21, Lang Lang shared a video with the theme of "Working for Dreams" on his social platform.
Almost at the same time, Li Moudi, who was the same age as him and became famous at the same young age, was suddenly arrested for PC.
The news of his unruly private life was also exposed, and a hurricane of public opinion was set off for a time.
Lang Lang, on the other hand, was also affected by this incident, and some melon-eating masses foolishly did not know him and Li Moudi, ran to the bottom of his latest blog post, and indignantly accused him.
Even his wife, Gina, was not spared, and was inexplicably sympathized with.
From the beginning of their fame, the two people who have been compared together, and now, one has entered the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and the other has been discredited, and this ending is inevitably regrettable.
Looking back at Lang Lang's thirty-nine-year-old life, this kind of ending is not surprising.
Growing up under the strict tutoring, self-discipline has been immersed in the bones.
He once said that he should practice for at least two hours a day. Not practicing the piano is tantamount to chronic suicide.
Edison also said that genius is 1% inspiration plus 99% sweat.
Even if a person has a high talent, if he does not continue to work hard in the later stage and is not strict with himself, he will also be invisible to everyone.
