Time experience

From 1960 to 1965, he worked in Shanghai Opera House and starred in many operas, such as red coral, Third Sister Liu, the president's daughter and the raging waves of Jialing River. He successfully created many artistic images of different times and different personalities.

From 1965 to 1974, she was the main accompaniment singer of Xi'er in the ballet "white haired girl" in Shanghai dance school. Her touching and unique singing successfully set off the image of the heroine, which made her famous in the singing world. The wonderful aria of "white haired girl" she sang has become a well-known song and an eternal classic at home and abroad. Among them, "Xi'er crying for father" has become one of the classics, which is an insurmountable peak.

From 1974 to 1976, she was the main soloist of China Art Troupe, which represents the highest level of Chinese art. As the main pillar of the troupe, she performed in many countries with Chinese party and state leaders. She was welcomed and praised by people all over the world, and was praised as "the Oriental nightball". From then on, she entered the heyday of her singing art.

She really deserves the reputation of "China's night dance" and "art evergreen" in the domestic and international singing circles.

Love and marriage

The marriage proposal at the stairway -- the love story of Zhu Fengbo and Shi honge

As many people know, Zhu Fengbo and Shi honge are a couple who love each other in their lives and exchange views with each other in their careers. But many people don't know who proposed to whom.

On August 1, 1967, the unprecedented "Cultural Revolution" movement was in full swing. On the other hand, in the pavilion of a quiet street lane on the Bank of the Pujiang River, a newly married couple seems to be in a paradise. They are busy handing out cigarettes, water and candy to more than ten visitors. The bride and groom are Zhu Fengbo and Shi honge.

Their new house with red "Xi" on the door is only ten square meters. I heard they borrowed it from Shanghai Opera House. Stepping into the threshold, the furnishings inside are very simple, but they are quite musician's "characteristics": a half new quadrangle piano is leaning along the wall, two steel wire beds and two wooden chairs are close to each other in the other corner, on the bed there is only a Wenzhou made bamboo mat, two quilts and two pillows, a small bookshelf full of various Chinese and foreign music books, a piano stool and two small benches. This is all the property of the two famous singers when they got married. According to the bride, the piano was bought from a thrift store for more than 400 yuan. Why are the new houses of the two famous singers so simple? Why is their marriage in a hurry? We have to start from the beginning

In their childhood and adolescence, they have their own persistent pursuit. Zhu Fengbo, who can write well and draw well, hopes to be an architect and design beautiful buildings, platforms, pavilions and pavilions in the future. However, Shi honge, who has a good sense of music since childhood, yearns to be a conductor, wielding a baton and operating a large Symphony Orchestra with hundreds of people. As for what kind of partner to look for, neither of them thought about it.

A few years later, things backfired. Zhu Fengbo, who was admitted to the Department of architecture of Tongji University, was attracted by "Bole" of the opera house when he sang for workers at a construction site party because of his natural sweet voice. When she came to the new environment where everything was strange and fresh, the leader of the Academy was very concerned about this promising girl and "ordered" her to concentrate all her energy and improve her singing level as soon as possible. Interestingly, the leaders also took various effective measures: in order to avoid the interference of the opposite sex, she was asked to sleep with three or four companions in the dormitory in the courtyard; on Sundays and holidays, she was asked to move to the home of the team leader, team leader or secretary; if she performed in the theater at night, she must wait until the show is over and take the bus with the team members back to the dormitory. They are always ringing the alarm in Zhu Fengbo's ear: don't get married before the age of 30.

However, Shi honge, who dreams of being a symphony conductor, has entered the Vocal Music Department of the Conservatory of music and has an indissoluble bond with opera, which is similar to his ideal. At that time, at concerts held in the college, the gentle Shi honge, with his bright timbre, wide range of voice and great volume, once made several girls love each other. But Shi honge, who devoted himself to his business, had no time to care about it, so he had to aggrieve them. After that, he went to Sofia to study vocal music with Professor brenbarov at the Bulgarian National Conservatory of music, which is even more out of touch with "love". It was not until 1962 that he returned to his motherland holding the gold medal of the classical vocal music competition of the Eighth World Youth Festival and was assigned to work in the opera house.
