Character experience

Early experience

"I was born in Wuhu, Anhui Province and grew up on the edge of the Yangtze River. I like literature and art since I was a child. At that time, I learned to sing any good song. There was no radio or record at home, so I went to my neighbor's house to listen. I like Guo He's songs best. The songs "White-haired Girl", "Nanniwan", "My Motherland", "Sunny Earth" and "Chairman Mao Came to Our Farm" have a great influence on me. When I was in high school, I sang almost all the songs they sang. "

It was teacher Chen Yanjuan of Wuhu Mass Culture and Art Museum who brought Bian Xiaozhen to the art stage. "She likes me very much. As long as there is a performance in the cultural center, ask me to attend and let me perform a girl solo. She said that I have a good voice, the conditions are ok, and I am expected to be an actor. " Bian Xiaozhen entered the PLA Art College with teacher Chen Yanjuan. "She later lived in Shanghai. Every time I perform in Shanghai, I go to see her. "

A song that has been sung for 30 years

Singing songs for 30 years.

During the Cultural Revolution, classes were suspended, but Bian Xiaozhen did not stop pursuing art. "I think if I want to be an actor, I have to sing, so I don't miss any opportunity to study and exercise." Diligence made her familiar with the stage and people's appreciation needs, and made it clear what kind of actress she should be. For decades, Bian Xiaozhen has always appeared on the stage with feelings and commitments, among the troops and the people. She knows that the songs the audience likes are the songs she wants to sing. "I am singing for the people."

"1September 9, 976, Chairman Mao passed away, and the people of the whole country were immersed in grief. Out of nostalgia and reverence for the leader, I wrote the lyrics of "The Sun is Reddest, Chairman Mao is Closest", and then gave them to the composer Wang Xiren. Bian Xiaozhen has been singing this song for 30 years. She has been singing with the same feeling for 30 years.

In Caofeidian Industrial Zone, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, a large-scale performance of condolences to the builders is going on. Bian Xiaozhen sang "The sun is reddest, Chairman Mao is dearest", which made thousands of spectators present boil. Thunderous applause invited her to the audience, and countless pairs of young hands extended to her.

On the Shougang construction site in Caofeidian, Tangshan, Hebei Province, a young commando said with deep affection: "I grew up listening to this song. It is very kind to hear it again today. It was the first singer Bian Xiaozhen who sang for us. Such a beautiful song is really a long time. " After the performance that day, many people who loved Bian Xiaozhen surrounded her and asked her to sign their names on everyone's backs as a souvenir.

Bian Xiaozhen was also infected by repeated performances: "I didn't expect that after decades, these songs still occupy a place in people's hearts and are still familiar to people. Especially young people who grew up listening to pop songs like my songs as much as children who study at school. This shows that such songs will have vitality as long as they reflect the historical characteristics of the times and the lives and feelings of the people. "

Plain is true.

In a blink of an eye, Bian Xiaozhen is 60 years old.

She has a happy family. Talking about her husband Xue Zhuren, she smiled. "We got married on 197 1. At that time, I was 25. He is five years older than me and works as an interpreter in the Air Force. " I have been in love for more than a year. On one occasion, the Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe rehearsed the ballet "White-haired Girl" in the Navy Auditorium, with Bian Xiaozhen as the lead singer. She asked Xue Zhuren to come and see. Someone asked Xue Zhuren, "Bian Xiaozhen will become famous in the future, and won't dump you?" Xue Zhuren said shyly but confidently, "No way" 1972, and their son was born. In the words of Bian Xiaozhen, the days have come flatly and lightly.

Bian Xiaozhen set up a "greeting" on her mobile phone, and every morning when she turned it on, she could see: "Plain is true, happy every day". She said: "For decades, there have been few big storms in my life. In the eyes of my colleagues, I am a person who does not seek fame and fortune. I like being quiet, keeping cats, playing the piano and being childlike. What do you like now? Play video games. Your brain should be quick-witted and your fingers should be particularly flexible, which is an exercise for yourself. Although he has retired, he has never left the stage and is often invited to perform in other places, sometimes several times a day. My whole family supports me in order to let me sing a good song. "

Bian Xiaozhen misses the comrades-in-arms who sang together in those years: Lv Wenke, Hu Baoshan and Su Xiaoming have simple and sincere feelings. She said: Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe is a famous literary and artistic team. Later, a group of young people Song Like Zuying appeared. As a singer of the older generation, she admits that "when she is old, she will occasionally feel lost." But think again, this is the law of nature. Any career is wave after wave, and you can't refuse to accept the old. "So the mentality is very peaceful and enthusiastic to support and help young actors. In her view, art is a young profession. Physically old, but psychologically artistic youth should be maintained forever.

It is the spring season, and the bright sunshine shines into the house from the window, making everything brilliant. There is a photo of her in ancient costume on the piano, with blue sky and white clouds and endless sea as the background. Exquisite trinkets are hung on the surrounding walls to decorate the small living room with liveliness, romance, art and warmth.

She has retired and lives in this four-bedroom and one-bedroom house. 17th floor, a little high, but just enough to exercise up and down.

She said that her blood pressure and heart were a little bad, but she was in good spirits. "Always be with Geng Lianfeng and encourage each other: take care of yourself, sing more beautiful songs for the audience and bring good memories to people."

Bian Xiaozhen also has many beautiful memories, which gushed from her heart like the spring water in Ding Dong.

Without artists at home, where did Bian Xiaozhen's musical literacy come from? With strict father at home, how can Bian Xiaozhen successfully embark on the road of literature and art? When the college entrance examination is just around the corner, there are two units in Beijing vying for talents. What choice will Bian Xiaozhen make? Reporter Cong Wei will show you the secret of Bian Xiaozhen's growth and success.

"I sing folk songs, but I don't exclude popularity. I like Liu Huan, Li Na and Mao Amin. However, I really don't understand some songs. Without melody, I can't hear the lyrics clearly. I don't know what to sing Even so, I can understand that as long as someone likes it and has his audience, no one should exclude anyone. "

Today, the two retired people are still busy with their own affairs, but they have a common hobby: taking care of their naughty and lovely little grandson. What makes Bian Xiaozhen happy is that at home, "only my little grandson is interested in my songs and says,' Grandma can sing, and Chairman Mao is the closest'. And he (his wife) has heard enough. "

After the interview, Bian Xiaozhen gave me a set of CDs with some songs she sang. She said that although she was old, she always had the urge to sing. "I am very excited to perform in Wenzhou soon", because I can sing those beautiful old songs with the audience together with famous singers such as Wang Kun, Li Guangxi, Deng Yuhua, Liu Bingyi, Geng Lianfeng, Luo Tianchan and Hu Baoshan.
