Later, he entered Shanxi art school to study dance. After graduation, he was assigned to Yangquan song and dance troupe. I thought I was destined to eat the bowl of dancing in my life, until one day, an expert said to him, "you have a good voice.". He'll never be able to dance again. At that time, he would go to Beijing once a week to attend classes in the morning, go to concerts or other professional performances in the afternoon, and return to Yangquan in the evening. This move moved Liu Shiming, a famous singer famous for the legend of wooden stone fish, who began to tutor Nie Jianhua, then 18, for free. At the age of 23, Nie Jianhua became famous at the second North China Music Festival. he studied with famous soprano Zhang Quan, tenor Professor Liu Shiming and the late "people's musician" Shi Guangnan.
