In 1998, the TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was broadcast on television, and for a time, it swept the screen and became popular throughout the country, producing a sensational effect of thousands of empty alleys.
Incidentally, the theme song "Rain Butterfly" of the play was also set off, and when I heard this song, it was as if I saw the lively and agile little swallow, the gentle and lovely Ziwei, which brought people's thoughts back to that familiar summer.
The singer of this song is Li Yijun. According to statistics, almost all the video stores in that year played the song "Rain Butterfly" one-third of the time a day, which shows the popularity of this song.
At the same time, the song "Rain Butterfly" also made her well known in the mainland.
In 1969, Li Yijun, formerly known as Li Hualing, was born in Taiwan and lived in a family of six, with four sisters in the family.
When I was young, my father and mother quarreled all day, and eventually, my father left the family, leaving my mother and four daughters behind. Li Yijun, who grew up in a single-parent family, was well-behaved and sensible, never let her mother worry, and often helped with housework, which made her mother very pleased.
Li Yijun is very artistically talented, when she was 1 year old, she often hummed along with the melody on TV, and her father saw that he had some talent, so he encouraged her to study drama, because the drama school was free.
Due to the poverty of the family and the desire to increase the pressure on her mother, Li Yijun chose to apply for the drama academy in Taiwan.
In the days of studying drama, Li Yijun was very painful. Because he was just beginning to contact drama, unfamiliar singing and tone, as well as different dramatic actions, were all tests that Li Yijun had to face.
The drama teacher is very strict, and during the examination, Li Yijun is often beaten by the teacher because of the non-standard movements and substandard tone. Although I have worked hard to learn, I will still be punished.
When I got home, looking at my daughter who was covered in injuries, my mother's heartache was of no use.
However, it is precisely because of the teacher's strict education that during that period, Li Yijun's singing skills also grew a lot.
A turn of fate is creeping in.
One day, Li Yijun accompanied a sister to the record company to audition, and the producer heard that Li Yijun was also studying drama, so he asked her to sing a song.
When she first showed her singing voice, she sang a song by Cai Qin, "The Last Day".
The producer was attracted by Li Yijun's moving singing voice and immediately threw an olive branch to her and wanted to sign a contract with her. In the face of the sudden invitation, Li Yijun was full of joy, but he was overwhelmed and rushed to inform his family.
I thought I would get support, but I didn't expect it, but I was strongly opposed by my mother.
The conservative mother thinks that the entertainment industry is a big dye tank and does not want her daughter to enter the mixed entertainment circle.
But Li Yijun, who loves music, does not want to give up this opportunity. However, because he is not yet an adult, he must have the signature of his mother to sign the contract.
After knowing the reason, the teacher of the drama school, together with the owner of the record company, found Li Yijun's mother, carefully explained the details of the signing process for her, and said that there would be absolutely no bad things that happened to Li Yijun.
Her mother agreed to sign the contract, but because the drama teacher insisted on asking Li Yijun to change her name, if she blamed her, she said that there was no such person in the school.
Therefore, she was renamed Li Yijun from Li Hualing.
"It doesn't matter how it ends later, at least we have been together."
In 1987, Li Yijun released her first song "Pingju", which was included in her self-titled album.
The song was composed by two female students of the Taiwan National Salvation League that year, and was composed by Sun Zhengming of the Music Department of Taiwan Normal University.
The first version of this song was sung by Li Yijun and Li Fuxing, with familiar melodies and moving singing voices, often appearing in parting scenes of many classic film and television dramas.
Since then, it has been covered in English and Cantonese, which shows the wide circulation of this song.
As soon as this song came out, Li Yijun's name was also known one after another.
In 1988, Li Yijun, who graduated from drama school, released his second Chinese albums "Cherish Goodbye" and "You Are my lifelong love".
In 1989, the song "Looking Back" was released again, which was the same song as the singer Jiang Yuheng, who released the record at the same time. The response was good, and the song also became one of Li Yijun's classic songs.
At this time, Li Yijun was already well-known in Taiwan.
In 1990, Li Yijun released a Chinese album "Such a Me", which included the Toyo translation single "Commitment in the Wind", which became the annual sales volume champion. The song was all the rage and became the most popular song in KTV.
At that time, the record industry was not very prosperous, and because the sales of her song were too good, the boss directly rewarded her with NT$200,000.
Li Yijun, who went home with the bonus, gave the money to her mother, who was very happy, because the family just ran out of rice, and the money could just be used to improve her life.
With the release of the album, Li Yijun's music career has gradually reached its peak.
Also in 1990, the TV series "Wan Jun" became popular all over the country, and Li Yijun sang the theme song of the same name of the play.
Li Yijun, who was only 20 years old at the time, did not understand why he sang the lyrics "There is a girl named Wanjun" several times.
She told Qiong Yao the question in her heart, hoping to get an answer, but Qiong Yao just let her watch the TV series "Wan Jun" again.
After reading it, Li Yijun really understood the feelings in the lyrics, but when recording the song at that time, only the first sentence was recorded for six hours.
After singing this song, with superb singing skills, Li Yijun was appreciated by Qiong Yao, and the next few plays of Qiong Yao were sung by Li Yijun, including "Waves", "Ferry" and "Rain Butterfly" in "Huan Zhu GeGe" and so on.
Li Yijun once said that Qiong Yao is his benefactor and it is his honor to be able to sing the songs of Qiong Yao opera.
With the popularity of "Rain Butterfly", Li Yijun also opened up the mainland market, and every time she performed, she would sing this song, which made many people pay attention to this Taiwanese female singer with first-class singing skills.
In 2000, Li Yijun released a new album "In Love with a Lonely Man", and personally participated in the production, and the following year, he adapted the cover of the song "Rebirth" by Japanese female singer Miyuki Nakajima, and added his own style.
In 2002, Li Yijun sang the ending song "Forever and Forever" of the TV series "The Storm Dominates the World", which also made many fans popular and became a classic film and television song.
Since entering the industry, Li Yijun has never spread any gossip and has never relied on some bad means to attract attention.
As early as 1997, Li Yijun and her boyfriend outside the circle entered the palace of marriage, but the two did not disclose it at that time. Her husband is 18 years older than Li Yijun, and the two are very affectionate after marriage.
However, due to Li Yijun's own reasons, it is impossible to conceive naturally. So Li Yijun decided to use the IVF method. Perhaps blessed by Heaven, after the first surgery, Li Yijun was successfully conceived.
In September 2000, Li Yijun announced his marriage to the outside world, and gave birth to a daughter the following year, named Chanel.
The birth of her daughter has added a lot of joy to the family, and Li Yijun chose to return to the family in order to take better care of her daughter.
Now their daughter is 20 years old and has come out of nowhere. Since childhood, under the education of Li Yijun, her daughter has also developed a strong interest in music, learned piano, cello and other instruments, and went to the United States to study, and is a good friend with Ouyang Nana.
Li Yijun, once known as the "Queen of Love Songs", sang countless film and television drama songs, and left a deep impression on fans with her solid music.
