"Children, children, children, don't be hungry, after the eighth year is the year..." This is a Beijing folk song, because of a child, it has spread all over the country and has become a well-known Spring Festival celebration song. This child is the "New Year Painting Doll" who left a deep impression on the Chinese people at the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, and his name is Deng Minghe.
Little Deng Minghe was born in 2006 to an ordinary family in Daming County, Handan City, Hebei Province. At an early age, the family discovered its unique acting talent, especially in opera, at the age of 2, Xiao Minghe showed a love for opera, it happened that his grandfather was a famous local Yu opera actor, so Xiao Minghe often followed his grandfather around to perform, and he was also enlightened in opera.
In order to better develop Xiao Minghe's talent for opera, in March 2010, four-year-old Xiao Minghe came to Zhao Ling Culture and Art School in Huaiyang County, Henan Province, entered the Yu Opera Kindergarten Class, and began to systematically learn Yu Opera. In June of the same year, with the encouragement of teachers and family members, Xiao Minghe signed up for the 591st program of Henan Television's "Liyuan Spring" and won the "Flowers Blossoming" competition in the program.
This experience greatly increased Xiao Minghe's confidence, and also accumulated experience for the performance of "The Sixth Anniversary of the State Council Awarding Comrade Chang Xiangyu the Honorary Title of 'People's Artist' by the State Council and the Establishment of the Henan Chinese Yu Opera Culture Promotion Association "Pear Garden Spring"" held by the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing a few days later.
Several successful performance experiences made Xiao Minghe famous in the Yu opera circle, in order to get more exercise opportunities, the next year, Xiao Minghe has participated in many competitions. For example, the ""Pear Garden Spring" special program - I am a Henan people special evening party" held by Henan Television Station sang the Peking opera "Red Lantern Record" at the party, and entered the finals of the 15th Chinese Children's Opera Little Plum Blossom Award Henan Division.
It was also in this year that Xiao Minghe won the pass for the 2012 CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the CCTV Variety Channel 'I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala' program.
On January 22, 2012, under the gaze of the audience in front of the TV set, while chanting "Children and children, don't be hungry, after the eighth year..." Holding a lantern in one hand, Xiao Minghe calmly walked to the audience, thus opening the prelude to the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon. The image of the "New Year Painting Doll" was also deeply imprinted in the minds of the national audience.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Minghe became a well-known child star and a Fuwa in people's minds. This made Koruru work harder in opera performance and study, and he did not want to live up to the audience's love for him. Therefore, in this year, he has participated in many programs and competitions, and has achieved good results.
On January 18, 2013, after a year, Xiao Minghe once again appeared on the stage of "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala". Unlike the last time, this time he took his sister Deng Minglu with him. Younger sister Xiao Minglu is two years younger than her brother, and has been influenced by her grandfather and brother since she was a child, and is also quite interested in opera performance. At the age of 3, he followed his older brother Xiaominghe and also entered the kindergarten class of Zhao Ling Art School in Huaiyang District, Zhoukou City, Henan Province, to learn opera. In the following two years, he also participated in large and small competitions and performances. Therefore, don't look at the younger sister, the stage experience is not inferior to the brother.
In the "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" program, the brothers and sisters were widely praised by the audience, and everyone's hearts were cute with the "New Year Painting Doll" and his sister. Without any suspense, the duo once again won the "ticket" to the Spring Festival Gala.
At the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Snake in 2013, the brothers and sisters brought a well-designed creative children's performance "Cut Flowers", two dolls dressed in Chinese auspicious costumes, in response to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the blessings and joys were spread throughout thousands of households across the country through television programs. As a result, the brothers and sisters have become more famous and have become the symbol of Fuwa in people's minds.
"The good things in the world are not firm, and the clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle." No one could have imagined that a month after the End of the Spring Festival Gala, misfortune had fallen on the brother and sister group. "Nianhua doll" Xiao Minghe was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, fortunately, the early detection, the condition is in the early stages, Xiao Minghe was quickly admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital for chemotherapy.
This news spread quickly, people were sad about the encounter of the "New Year Painting Doll" in their minds, and the development of Xiao Minghe's illness has always touched everyone's heart. People quickly spontaneously raised more than 2 million love donations for Xiao Minghe, hoping to help Xiao Minghe tide over the difficulties, and for a time the care and encouragement from all directions were transmitted to Xiao Minghe's ward. With everyone's encouragement and the careful treatment of medical uncles and aunts, half a year later, Xiao Minghe finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
I thought that I would finally see the sun in the clouds, but the haze of fate was shrouded again. In 2015, Koruko's condition recurred again. This time, he could not wait for the miracle, and with affection, he passed away. In people's minds, the "New Year Painting Doll" has returned to heaven, but the joy and love he brought to people will be remembered and remembered forever. Whenever the nursery rhyme "Children and children, don't be hungry, after the eighth is the year..." the nursery rhyme remembers that the cute "New Year painting doll" will return to people's side.
The brother who had loved him since childhood left like this. This is nothing less than a huge blow to her younger sister Xiao Minglu. In many later interviews and performances, whenever her brother was mentioned, her sister always cried and recalled her brother and herself. How the brother taught herself to sing, the grandfather told her to learn from her brother, the brother smiled and said to himself, "As long as you like, every year my brother will accompany you to the Spring Festival Gala." ”
But her sister did not indulge in grief and collapsed, on the contrary, she turned this sadness into courage and redoubled her efforts on the road of opera performance. She wanted to practice her brother's share back. Xiao Minglu, who has been influenced by her brother since she was a child, has always had the same dream as her brother and hopes to be able to move forward on the road of performance. Although my brother is no longer there, as a younger sister, I will still firmly adhere to the road of opera performance, and carry my brother's unfinished dream forward.
It has been 8 years since the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, and it has been 5 years since "New Year Doll" Deng Minghe left us. Some people regret his short life and the death of this opera genius, but his short life is dazzling. Sometimes the meaning of life is not in its length, but in its value.
In The short journey of Xiao Minghe's life, what he brings to people is always joy, celebration, perseverance to insist on dreams, and courage to fight against disease, such Minghe has long become a dazzling star, and this "New Year painting doll" will always be alive in people's memories.
