Li Guangxi was born in Tianjin on 1929. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, he took over from his father and became a clerk in Kailuan Mining Bureau. 1954 was admitted to the Central Experimental Opera and Dance Theatre. In his artistic career, he was not influenced by the musical family, but he had to bear the burden of supporting his family early. I have never received a formal education in a music school, but I have an irresistible talent, persistent pursuit, hard work and fruitful results: I have played the leading role in classical operas such as La Traviata, yevgeni onegin, Salesman and Lady, and national operas such as Liu Hulan, Ayi Guli and the hundredth Bride. 1964 sang "On the Songhua River" in "Dongfanghong"; He also sang more than 100 songs, such as Happy Sun Out, Song of Wrapping Horses, Ode to Yan 'an, Premier Zhou, Where Are You, Toast, Waves of Gulangyu Island, Sailing, as well as opera arias, foreign folk songs and art songs. 1989 won the first gold record award, the first song award in 40 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the outstanding singing award in Reform 10. Now he is a national first-class actor and enjoys the title of outstanding expert with outstanding contributions awarded by the State Council. These achievements are enough to show that Li Guangxi is a leading figure in China's opera and music history. He must be a lonely man, right? Actually, it is not.

He is warm, sincere and easy-going. If someone asks him about his business, he always helps others without reservation. A friend said that he values loyalty and nostalgia, and he will do it as long as there is a righteous act. Looking at Li Guangxi and listening to his stories and songs, we can feel the cordial and relaxed atmosphere he brought us.

He is a responsible person with strong family values. Since his father died, he has taken on the responsibility of supporting his family, giving up his studies and sending his sister to college. After marriage, I deeply loved my wife. When it comes to his wife and their love, Li Guangxi's face is full of happiness, although he always feels indebted to his wife.

1956 played the leading role in La Traviata, the first classical opera in New China personally instructed by Premier Zhou Enlai, and achieved great success in one fell swoop. Then, he appeared in Askell in Salesman and Miss, and Lenski in Russian opera yevgeni onegin. Li Guangxi's career is in full swing. He often performs for months without changing players. At the scene of the program, Li Guangxi elaborated on the process that Premier Zhou Enlai named him to attend the state banquet from 1955 to 1974, and he still often participated in performances for the party and the country.

He is open-minded and willing to accept new things. Because he didn't have a chance to continue studying when he was a child, Li Guangxi made up his mind to study until he was old. Until now, he still insists on reciting English every day. He said that this is not only a responsibility for music, but also a promotion for himself. Li Guangxi thinks that every singing method has its beauty, and from time to time he sings some popular songs with his voice that he used to sing in Chun Xue. If we all boo, he will sing "Dedication", "Let me be happy and let me be sad" and "Holding hands" for us emotionally.

He pursues beauty. Li Guangxi loves sports, especially swimming. He has never stopped since he was 10, and is shaping the beauty of youth. He likes photography and always takes a camera with him when he goes out, which is looking for capturing beauty; He loves music and regards the stage as his paradise. He has been singing all his life, which is a deductive sense of beauty. How can a person with aesthetic feeling not be youthful, happy and passionate? Few people know that Li Guangxi, who is famous all over the country, has never entered a conservatory of music. At the age of seventeen, due to his father's early death, Li Guangxi Middle School took his father's place to work in the hometown of Tianjin Kailuan Mining Bureau, and assumed the burden of supporting the family. However, his love for music has never changed. In those years, he used his spare time to study music, sing and participate in performances everywhere, and gradually became a well-known amateur singer who sang in every theater in Tianjin. 1953, the Central Opera House came to Tianjin to perform, and Li Guangxi was impressed by its amazing opera art. Soon, he applied for the Central Opera House, and passed it smoothly with his handsome image, moving singing voice, elegant temperament and brilliant performance, and embarked on the road of music in his dreams.

The young singer quickly became a "pillar" as soon as he took office, which is inseparable from his immersion in a rich artistic environment since childhood. Li Guangxi is an opera fan, a movie fan and a music fan. He likes watching Beijing opera, northern drums, foreign movies and listening to records. He also joined the church choir, contacted many western symphonies and learned the staff. Therefore, as soon as he took the stage to perform, those opera characters hidden in his heart immediately came to life on the stage.

1955, China staged the first western opera La Traviata, in which Li Guangxi played Alfred, the hero. This opera was a smash hit. A few years later, he starred in the opera Salesman and Miss, which is well known to audiences all over the world. One year, these two operas were performed in Shanghai, and Li Guangxi took the stage alternately, singing for more than 30 times in a row, with infinite scenery. This is undoubtedly Li Guangxi's "Golden Age of Opera". "At that time, I had to perform more than 200 operas and concerts a year. Every opera would' drop' a few arias and excerpts, and I sang at concerts from time to time." Li Guangxi recalled.

After the reform and opening up, when the Central Opera House resumed rehearsing western classical operas, the opera was not in its heyday, and Li Guangxi moved from the opera stage to the song stage. Li Guangxi, who once raised a glass and sang the Song of Drinking in La Traviata, sang a Song of Toast, which aroused the strong resonance of hundreds of millions of people in the new era: "The wine fragrance is flying, my friend, please come and raise your glass. The victorious October will never be forgotten, and the cup will be filled with tears of happiness ... "Later, toast song was published, which sold one million copies in less than a week, and Li Guangxi also won.

"Toast Song" opened the curtain of Li Guangxi's "Golden Age of Songs". Today, many listeners still remember his golden songs-Ode to Beijing, Premier Zhou, Where Are You, Wave of Gulangyu, Voyage, and many Chinese and foreign opera arias, foreign folk songs and art songs. Recalling the scene of singing Premier Zhou, where are you, Li Guangxi was immersed in affectionate memories. He said that in those days, Premier Zhou Enlai was very concerned about the performance of La Traviata, the first classical opera in New China. He played the leading role in the play and was also kindly cared by Premier Zhou. After Premier Zhou's death, he sang "Premier Zhou, where are you?" Those unforgettable memories touched his heart. He sang on the stage, and the audience wept silently. This touching song is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. Bing Xin, a famous writer, wrote an inscription for Li Guangxi: Go your own way and sing your own songs. For decades, Li Guangxi came here in this way and won the praise of "Music Evergreen".

From 65438 to 0929, Li Guangxi, who was born in an ordinary family in Tianjin, came into contact with the works of world-class artists such as Beethoven and Bach with an old-fashioned radio. From this, he fell in love with music and singing. In order to practice singing, he joined the church choir, where he learned the staff and western singing. /Kloc-At the age of 0/7, Li Guangxi Middle School took over his father's job before finishing school, and became an employee of Tianjin Kailuan Mining Bureau, shouldering the burden of supporting the family. However, he didn't give up his interest in music and took part in performances in all his spare time. In a few years, he sang in various theaters in Tianjin and became a famous amateur singer.

"1953 is the most important turning point in my life," Li Guangxi said. That year, when the Central Opera House came to Tianjin to perform, Li Guangxi was deeply shocked when he first came into contact with opera. Soon, Li Guangxi entered the Central Opera House and was admitted on the spot. Although the salary of the opera house is very low, he feels that he has found a direction in his career. With his childhood skills and years of rich stage experience, Li Guangxi quickly gained a foothold in the Opera House. That's how fate tortures people. In his forties, Li Guangxi suffered from severe laryngeal muscle weakness. Tears welled up in his eyes when the doctor handed him a medical certificate. In the days when he lost his voice, he often woke up in nightmares. But he didn't want to leave the stage he regarded as heaven. Encouraged by his wife, he insisted on 40 minutes of Dantian Qi training every day. After more than six years of unremitting exercise, Li Guangxi felt that his breathing was getting smoother and smoother. "When I woke up at noon that day to practice my voice, the bright sound came out." Li Guangxi's "Toast Song", which returned to the stage, was very popular. "I remember that 1979 sang this song for the first time, which appropriately expressed people's wishes and expectations for the future, and sold more than/kloc-0.0 million records at once." Li Guangxi was immersed in happy memories.

Today, Li Guangxi, like young people, often goes to the grassroots to make radio and TV programs. He said, "I will keep singing as long as the audience likes it!" "

20 15 February 17, participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on 2015, and performed the opening program "Four generations under one roof".

When both sides are in a humble situation, help each other

"In the face of flowers and applause, what do you feel most proud of in life?" Ask. Li Guangxi gave a positive answer without thinking: "First, he found his favorite career; First of all, I found my favorite person to be my wife. "

Wang Ziwei, eight years older than Li Guangxi, was born in a wealthy family in Tianjin. 1953 On the National Day, when the choir was rehearsing the program, Li Guangxi first met Wang Ziwei, who was about to perform on the same stage, and was deeply attracted by her. "I said to a friend at that time,' I must marry her.' "Li Guangxi and Wang Ziwei got married. Although life is poor, the family always sings and laughs. On one occasion, Wang Ziwei's birthday coincided with the National Day, and there were still four days before the salary was paid, but there were only two dollars left at home. Li Guangxi insisted on celebrating his wife's birthday. So, they rode bicycles, talked and laughed all the way to the Summer Palace, spent 20 cents on tickets, and held hands to see the beautiful scenery of the Summer Palace. At noon, I asked for a fried cake at the stall outside the door, and the two of them ate it sweetly, which was a birthday meal. For decades, Li Guangxi's honest life is well known in the circle. He said that the feelings with his wife are immune to all temptations, and the inspiration, beauty and interest gained from his wife are not available elsewhere.

Now, Li Tang, the eldest daughter, works in the Comrades Song and Dance Troupe after graduating from PLA Art College. 1987 went to study in the United States and got a master's degree in music. The father and daughter have held many father-daughter concerts at home and abroad; Li Naxin, the third daughter, went to Japan with her husband after graduating from Beijing Union University and has now settled in the United States. Only the second daughter, Li Hehe, lives in Beijing with her parents.

Personal preference

Li Guangxi insists on swimming and takes brisk walking as a "compulsory course" every day. When you do something urgent, keep walking. Sometimes, it takes an hour or two to walk. For this reason, I have developed a pair of iron feet and my body is getting better and better. In order to protect his voice, he insisted on not smoking or drinking. "Without a good figure, you can't continue to engage in your favorite singing career. I am not reconciled. Darwin said that' natural selection, survival of the fittest', I want to be a fittest. " Li Guangxi said.

The awards of "Five Civilized Families in Chaoyang District" placed in the living room are very conspicuous. Li Guangxi said happily that he won this honor because he was enthusiastic about public welfare activities, often used his strengths to serve everyone, and his family life was harmonious. "It is also an encouragement." Li Guangxi, who was re-elected as a member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Committee for four times, lived up to expectations and put forward many proposals concerning people's livelihood. In order to prolong the stop time of an unreasonable bus, he repeatedly negotiated with the bus company and other departments, which lasted for one year and finally "got things done".

Li Guangxi, who has come from hard times, especially cherishes the happy life now. Speaking of happiness, I will sing a few words. He said: "A person's psychological balance is the highest value of life. People must learn to find happiness by themselves and do more useful things for others before they feel that they have lived a full life. "
