Liu Shiming, tenor singer, national first-class actor, recipient of special allowances of the State Council, famous actor of China Opera and Dance Theatre, born in Beijing in 1938. He has won the Performance Award, Excellence Award and other awards issued by the Ministry of Culture. In 1958, Liu Shiming was admitted to both the Foreign Language Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, and has since embarked on the road of literature and art. He graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 1962 and was assigned to the Central Experimental Opera House as an opera singer and soloist in the same year. Later, he studied under Professor Jiang Jiaxiang of the Central Conservatory of Music. His musical career began in 1962. The famous opera artist Guo Lanying starred in "The White-Haired Girl", because the original partner was old, wanted to choose a new opera partner and transferred him to the China Opera and Dance Theater. He was only 23 years old. Since then, he and Guo Lanying have performed on the same stage for more than 20 years.
The four opera fragments performed by Guo Lanying when he bid farewell to the stage: "Little Erhei Married", "Liu Hulan", "White-Haired Girl" and "Dou E'er Wrong" were all performed by Liu Shiming. Most people know him more or less because he sang Lü Yuan's "There is a Beautiful Legend" in the 1980s.
In 1985, the TV series "The Legend of Muyushi" asked Teacher Lu Yuan to create a theme song, one day, Teacher Lü Yuan came to me with the written song score and asked me to demonstrate singing, this singing does not matter, I suddenly liked this song, and asked Teacher Lu who wrote it for, Lü Yuan smiled and said, "It is written for you Liu Shiming!" So, one afternoon, I was invited by the producer of "The Legend of Muyushi" to record, and the singer and the band recorded together, which was a small band, and we sang and recorded. At that time, I had other performance tasks, and my time was limited, so I gave the band teachers a beating, jokingly saying, I said please don't bubble, if I am wrong I have to sing again. As a result, on that day, we recorded it twice and it was over. After recording the music, I received a task from my superiors on a business trip. After some days, I returned to Beijing, and when I was buying vegetables at the vegetable market, I suddenly heard the old aunt who sold vegetables humming this song, and after inquiring, I learned that this song had spread all over the streets."
