Wang Ziwei sings.

On the evening of March 13, a sad news came from the literary and art circles, that is, the famous tenor Li Guangxi was exposed and died at the age of 93!

I was shocked to get the news late at night! In a trance, I feel wrong, too sudden and unacceptable!

Last month, Li Guangxi also made a guest appearance in Tianjin Satellite TV's Look Who's Coming. He looks good and walks a little slowly. He said that he had fallen, and his wife was very strict. I didn't expect to leave so soon!

As a singer like his parents, he listened to his old man's songs and his toast song when he was young, and ushered in reform and opening up when he grew up. ...

Li Guangxi is at the forefront of the times, singing loudly for hundreds of millions of people and injecting surging passion into the new era!

Ode to Beijing, Song of Toast and Ode to Yan 'an are the representative works of Mr. Li Guangxi, who has also performed operas and is an artist with both ability and political integrity.

80 months, 90 days, 90 years later, people are dying. Today they look tough, and tomorrow they will bid farewell to the old man's hearty voice.

I remember that in the 1980s, Tianjin held a concert to visit relatives, and all Tianjin artists came to Tianjin.

At that time, there were Li Guangxi, expensive buildings and many old artists, all from Tianjin. I don't remember now. At that time, the singers in Tianjin were Guan Mucun,, Expedition, Mou and so on.

This is the nourishment of the sea and rivers, the cultivation of this land in Tianjin, and their gratitude to the people. Now I think about it as when I was young.

Thank them for bringing us wonderful songs, enriching our lives and thanking our great motherland. Only in the embrace of the motherland can their intelligence be brought into play.

In my impression, he was earlier and more representative. He sang "On the Songhua River" in the 1964 large-scale music and dance epic "Dongfanghong", which sang the tragic voice of the Northeast compatriots who were wandering in the customs when the motherland was in trouble.

Li Guangxi, 1929 was born in Tianjin, 17 years old lost his father and took care of his family alone.

At first, Li Guangxi didn't study in a professional conservatory of music, but with his loud voice and love of art, he moved to various theaters in Tianjin.

1953, Li Guangxi was shocked when he first came into contact with opera, so he entered the Central Opera House with the encouragement of his family. His unique voice advantage makes him stand out among the contestants.

From 1955 to 1964, Li Guangxi triumphed all the way, singing a series of well-known excellent works, such as Song of Wrapping Horses, Red Sunshine on Grassland, Waves on Gulangyu Island and toast song.

In the following 40 or 50 years, Li Guangxi's songs such as Ode to Yan 'an and On the Songhua River were still widely circulated among the people, pinning Li Guangxi's love for music and his deep feelings for his home country.

When 92-year-old Li Guangxi participated in the program, he also personally played "Yan 'an Ode" in the program. Also a famous tenor in China, Jian Zheng, a close friend for many years, sang loudly on the stage, and the audience applauded for a long time.

Referring to 68 years of stage experience, Li Guangxi said: "To do a line, you must love it, not only for yourself, but also for the support and love of every audience and audience!"

People often ask, why can you keep your voice so good when you are over 90?

Li Guangxi replied with the word 10 at that time: "Live every day well and strive for something!"

In Li Guangxi's view, singing is only art in essence. Once endowed with historical and revolutionary significance, it becomes completely different. It is my responsibility to stand on the stage at such a big age!

As an old artist, Mr. Li Guangxi devoted 80% of his passion to the stage in his life.

The remaining 20% is naturally left to family and wife.

If someone asks, what is the truest appearance of love? Then I will tell you that Li Guangxi and his wife Wang Ziwei will find the answer.

Li Guangxi's achievements in his life are obvious to all, but the outside world doesn't know that Li Guangxi was already a poor man when he met Wang Ziwei.

And Wang Ziwei's family, obviously much better than him, was born with a golden spoon.

It is said that the two met when Li Guangxi was performing in Tianjin. At that time, Wang Ziwei was sitting in the audience, and a brief glance between songs made them look at each other for ten thousand years.

Recalling their first off-stage meeting, Li Guangxi's inner joy was beyond words: "Maybe she is not outstanding, but my heart was completely captured by her at the moment I saw her!"

There was no wedding, no suit and wedding dress, and even the parents of the Wangs didn't show up. 1958, Li Guangxi and Wang Ziwei got married in Beijing.

The world says that marriage without parents' blessing is unhappy and imperfect. However, Li Guangxi and Wang Ziwei made life an exception.

In the years after their marriage, Li Guangxi and Wang Ziwei often separated. In order to keep up with her husband, Wang Ziwei went to Peking University as a teacher with a big belly.

The birth of his daughter Li Tang made Li Guangxi full of vitality. In the next few years, Li Guangxi's singing career gradually improved.

At this point, Li Guangxi's first thought is to visit her mother-in-law and prove to her that she has enough strength to take good care of Wang Ziwei. Fortunately, after years of hard work, my mother-in-law finally looked at him with new eyes.

Just when he thought that his career and family would eventually be complete, he also fell into a "voice loss event" that lasted for six years. You can imagine what it means for a singer to lose her voice.

At this time, it was his wife who gave him hope and only got a bright future.

Therefore, after every insignificant progress in Li Guangxi, Wang Ziwei's persistence and encouragement are deeply hidden.

It is worth mentioning that during the 60-year marriage between Li Guangxi and Wang Ziwei, Wang Ziwei gave birth to three daughters.

The eldest daughter, Li Tang, later inherited her mother's mantle and became a famous professor in the Conservatory of Music. The second daughter, like her father, is engaged in music research; The last little daughter is also developing well in Japan at present.

Referring to Andrew West's life, Li Guangxi once concluded: "I have done two things in my life, one is to stick to the career I love, and the other is to marry a virtuous wife, Rainbow Wei Zi!"
