Some of the classic old songs of the past are really good. For example, Ma Yutao sang "Horses, You Go Slowly".
"Horses, you walk slowly, slow down, I'm going to see this enchanting scenery enough, see enough." The fertile land seems to be soaked in oil, and the fertile land is as if it were paved with gold..." This song, written by Li Jianyao and composed by Sheng Mao, has been loved by the audience and audience for many years with its magnificent lyrics with a great sense of picture and a magnificent tune. Singer Ma Yutao's singing is the icing on the cake, and she also won the first China Golden Disc Award with this song.
Every time we hear this song, we always think of Ma Yutao for the first time.
We will never forget the lieutenant general singer. How is she doing now? I guess that's what more audiences and fans like me would love to know, right?
In February 1936, Ma Yutao was born in Baode, Shanxi. When she was a child, her family was not well-off, and she was in the years of war and chaos, and ordinary people did not have a good life. I think, it is also to make a living, when Ma Yutao was 10 years old, she chose to "go to the west mouth" with her family and came to Settle in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. And it was here that she embarked on the artistic path of her life.
We can see from the childhood photos she exposed that Ma Yutao when she was a child was like a boy, quite heroic, and very assertive. In fact, it is. In 1950, the Suiyuan Provincial Military Region Cultural and Labor Corps cadet team stationed in Baotou recruited soldiers, and after Ma Yutao heard the news, he concealed his family and went to register, and as a result, he was admitted to the examination. On March 25, 1950, at the age of 14, she entered the army with her backpack on her back and never left.
At that time, the members of the literary and labor corps knew almost everything and had to do everything. According to the saying at that time, it was "one specialty, three meetings and eight abilities". So Ma Yutao quickly learned a lot of skills, not only can sing, but also dress up as a man to dance. If there are warriors who like opera, she can also come to a section of Hebei Zizi like a decent, and even play the violin and knock on the Yangqin.
Since she was a child, she has a good voice and a wide range of voices, and is a rare singing talent. In 1953, during a condolence performance, she was discovered by Wang Kun, who was selecting soloists, and decided to focus on her training. Wang Kun, who has always loved talent, not only taught ma Yutao her singing skills, but also suggested that she go to Shanghai to study and consult with Mr. Lin Junqing of the Vocal Music Research Institute.
And it is also after studying with Mr. Lin Junqing for a period of time that Ma Yutao, who originally had only a "wild voice", has made great improvements in scientific vocal techniques and singing skills, making her voice more generous, and the high voice more bright and relaxed, and the breath control is more solid and stable. Later, she also studied with Shen Xiang, Wang Fuzeng and other teachers, such as tigers adding wings and making rapid progress. In 1955, she was transferred to the Comrades-in-Arms Cultural troupe of the Beijing Military Region as a soloist. In 1957, she participated in the Sixth World Youth Festival and sang a Yunnan "Song of The Horse" and won the Gold Award for Folk Song Performance. Blockbuster.
In the late 1950s, Ma Yutao's singing level had reached the level of pure fire. Why did she improve so fast? Later, the result of her own summary was 8 words: hard work and perseverance. She believes that she is not from a professional college, so she is more strict with herself when training. Including the physical performance when singing, it is also a project she trains every day, and at any time, she maintains the standard posture of raising her head, straightening her chest and closing her abdomen. This is also an important reason why even in her old age, she is always energetic every time she performs.
Ma Yutao is very talented, her voice is strong and powerful, the vocal range is wide and bright, the breath control is very skillful and stable, when singing songs, she always maintains the characteristics of vocal emotion, and the words are clear, the voice is powerful, and it has a high degree of recognition. As soon as people listened, they knew that this was a song sung by Ma Yutao. She is very good at interpreting "big songs", and she can always express the heroic feelings in the "big songs" to the fullest, so her "Ma's" singing method is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In addition to the most familiar "Horses, You Go Slower", the masterpieces sung by Ma Yutao also include "Seeing You Extra Dear", "Osmanthus Blossom happy to come", "Every hand pouring out happy flowers", "Old landlord Chapu", "There are relatives everywhere in the motherland", "Panlong Mountain is high in the sky", "Song of Ma Shan", "Annunciation" and many other good songs that are never tired of listening. She even sang songs such as "Honghu Lake Water Waves" that did not seem to be very suitable for her style, but she was still able to interpret the songs according to her own characteristics.
Friends who like to sing know that the song "Horses, You Go Slowly" is extremely difficult, it has two octaves, and the rhythm of the song is not static, plus the melody of the song is "the greatest combination of north and south", so the requirements for the singer are very high, and one of the words is inaccurate, which will reduce its unique taste and style. When Ma Yutao sang this song, he always adhered to the principle of "euphemism in the steep and strong in the euphemism", which makes people sound breathless and endlessly reminiscent. In 1962, Ma Yutao sang this song for the first time, which was a great success.
From 1950 to the present, Ma Yutao has sung on stage for more than 60 years and is one of the most beloved singers in China's listeners and audiences. As a national first-class actor of the Comrades-in-Arms Song and Dance Troupe of the Beijing Military Region, with the rank of lieutenant general, she has been strictly demanding herself by the standards of a soldier for many years, not only meticulous in her singing career, but also always maintaining a hard and simple style in life.
Ma Yutao has a daughter. As the saying goes, "a daughter should be rich", but Ma Yutao is not at all indulgent to her daughter, and even the clothes that her daughter wore when she was a child were mostly modified from her old military uniform. This makes her daughter very simple from an early age, never comparing herself with people to eat and wear, but to learn. Her daughter did well in her studies, but when she grew up, she did not become a singer from the arts like her mother, but chose to study medicine according to her hobbies, and after graduating from Beijing Medical College, she became the attending surgeon of a hospital.
I think this is also an important reason why everyone loves Ma Yutao. Such an influential singer has always been so simple and simple in life. She wears a military uniform all year round, even in performances. As an actress, her favorite thing is to perform in the army, and there are public welfare performances such as disaster relief, and she always runs in front. Ma Yutao said a word that made Yaqing very moved. She said that I am an ordinary singer, I have not entered art schools, I am not a "sea cucumber bird's nest", I am a "nest pickle" that the people like.
And it is this singer who calls himself "Wotou Pickles" who has won the love and respect of thousands of audiences. All along, we have missed her very much and are very concerned about her. Recently, I saw a recent photo of her, which was really painful. In the photo, Ma Yutao, who has gray hair, has looked a little old, and the people are also much thinner, no longer the most common way of looking energetic. She was eating, and the meal was so simple, no mountain treasures and seafood, no abalone sea cucumber, it was the simplest home-cooked meal, and, to be honest, it was simpler than many ordinary people's meals. Before I knew it, my eye sockets were moist.
Now that the old artist is 84 years old, he has entered his old age, and at this time, the most important thing is to be healthy and in a happy mood. And I, and all my friends who love her, have the greatest wish to wish her happiness such as the East Sea and shoubi Nanshan. And in our hearts, I think, we will never forget her appearance in a green military uniform and singing with pride.
"Horses, you walk slowly, walk slowly..." Dear friends, when the familiar song sounds again, will everyone remember its singer Ma Yutao as much as I do? In everyone's memory, which song she sang was everyone's favorite and often sung? Welcome to interact with more netizens through the message area and send good wishes to this old artist. I am Yaqing, thank you again for your attention and tips, we will meet again at the same time tomorrow.
