Guo Lanying was born in a poor family with many children, and she ranked sixth. Due to her poor family, Guo Lanying could only drink thin rice soup to satisfy her hunger, and there were few rice grains.
The birth of a baby girl made life even more difficult for the family, who could not get enough breastfeeding, and had to drink the same thin rice soup to satisfy her hunger.
In the face of the hungry baby, Guo's mother was like a knife, but her husband said bluntly: "Instead of watching her starve to death, it is better to throw her away now!" So, Guo Lanying, who had just been born, was abandoned in the woods like this, and fate began a cruel test for her.
Guo Lanying's aunt had just given birth at that time, and after hearing the news, she didn't care that she was still in confinement, so she immediately ran to the woods to rescue Guo Lanying.
My aunt spent the first three years of her life in her care, on her breast milk.
After the age of three, Guo Lanying returned to her home and began to help with some housework within her ability. Due to her family's financial constraints, she was unable to receive a formal education and had to be self-taught.
Whenever she heard the children in the neighborhood recite the three-character scripture, she would take the opportunity to read it aloud.
It was Guo's mother's diligent and studious spirit that attracted the attention of traffickers. The traffickers came straight to the door and wanted to buy her for eight copper coins. Faced with such a difficult choice, although Guo's mother was very reluctant, she also hoped to find a way for her daughter to live.
However, Guo Lanying resolutely refused, crying and expressing her unwillingness to leave the house: "You have abandoned me once, please don't abandon me again this time." Even if I die, I will die in this family. ”
Guo's mother was deeply moved by her daughter's words and decided not to pursue it again.
In order to reduce the burden on the family, the neighbor suggested sending Guo Lanying to the drama troupe to learn art. So, Guo Lanying was sent from Pingyao to Taiyuan and signed a five-year contract with the troupe.
The class owner gave Guo's mother a reward of five copper plates, thinking that this was the way out, but unexpectedly this was the beginning of Guo Lanying's nightmare.
In those cruel times, the lives of the troupe apprentices fell into an endless cycle of suffering, and they endured rigorous and cruel training every day. The class owners were convinced that only in this way could their apprentices develop their skills.
Since Guo Lanying entered the troupe, she has started an endless ordeal.
Every morning at five o'clock, she would get up to practice her voice, even in the cold winter, she would choose to crawl on the ice and shout loudly, and every time she practiced her voice, her lips would leave a deep mark on the cold ground.
Every day when I return to my residence, around seven o'clock, I have to do all kinds of high-intensity basic training, such as kicking, lowering the waist, somersaults, etc., and the master holds a whip in his hand to supervise it, and whenever there is a mistake, the whip will fall mercilessly on the body.
During that time, Guo Lanying's body was covered with scars, and in addition, she also suffered beatings and extremely poor eating conditions. In order to control her weight, she can only eat three small black nests made of sorghum skin every day, each of which is less than the size of dumplings, and she can't satisfy her stomach at all.
Every night when she went to sleep, she had to endure hunger and pain, and at the same time she had to use her legs as pillows to practice basic skills.
Guo Lanying has twice tried to escape this hellish environment, but a 11-year-old girl has no idea where to run. At one point she snuck out and ended up going around and around outside, completely disoriented, and eventually had to return helplessly.
This time, Guo Lanying was severely punished by the master for the price of "rebillion", and the master beat her with a whip mercilessly, and asked her seriously: "Do you dare to run away again?" Guo Lanying could only cry and beg for mercy, saying that she would be obedient.
Since then, she has never had the idea of escaping. During the long days and nights, tears and whip marks left a mark on her body, but at the same time, they also tempered her indomitable will and outstanding stage skills.
It is precisely because of these arduous trials and tribulations that she has achieved outstanding achievements on the road of art.
After a long and painful five-year shift, Guo Lanying finally got out of this trapped cage. By chance, the North China University Campus Art Troupe came here, and they brought the famous revolutionary opera "The White-Haired Girl".
Guo Lanying was amazed by the excitement of this excellent repertoire and was deeply addicted, and she was very eager to play the role of "Xi'er" in the play.
Just when the art troupe was about to leave, Guo Lanying resolutely left the original troupe and joined the big family of the art troupe. She took off her gorgeous stage makeup, just to pursue her inner artistic dreams and ideals and beliefs.
From that moment on, she began a new journey in life.
After Guo Lanying's unremitting efforts and patient waiting, she finally had the opportunity to play "Xi'er" in this work. In order to let the leading actor Wang Kun get enough rest, the crew adopted the AB rotation method, and Guo Lanying was selected to play the B role.
Her every move, smile and smile vividly showed the character and inner world of the character "Xi'er", and won bursts of applause from the audience.
This revolutionary opera brought Guo Lanying to the fore for the first time, and she gradually attracted people's attention like a rising star. Since then, she has played an important role in many operas of the Red Revolution, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
It can be said that Guo Lanying's success is inseparable from the enlightenment of "The White-Haired Girl". In that revolutionary era, she used her singing voice and art to interpret the pursuit of ideals and beliefs, and took practical actions to fight for them.
No matter where Guo Lanying is, even if she lives in a very difficult environment, she has never given up her inner dream. From an orphan in childhood, to a clown in the theater troupe, to a star in the art troupe, she has achieved self-transformation step by step with perseverance.
It is precisely because of that persistent pursuit of ideals that she has gone further and further on the road of life.
After joining the art troupe, Guo Lanying's career entered a new peak. Her unique and outstanding voice has added a unique soul to countless classic songs, the most famous of which is the song "My Motherland" that resounded over the motherland.
In 1956, during the process of soliciting voices for the theme song of a film, each singer's audition failed to satisfy the production team. At this moment, lyricist Qiao Yu suddenly thought of Guo Lanying, and he suggested to the director: "Why don't you let Guo Lanying give it a try?" Although the director did not have too high expectations for her, when Guo Lanying really showed her extraordinary voice, the audience was shocked.
The next morning, Guo Lanying's beautiful singing voice spread all over the motherland through the Central People's Radio. Since then, the song has been widely circulated across the country, and Guo Lanying has become the focus of national attention overnight, and she has begun to tour on various occasions large and small.
At a performance, Guo Lanying met Fang Pudong, a famous performer of the Chinese National Orchestra of the China Opera and Dance Theater, Fang Pudong was full of praise for her voice and was deeply attracted.
Subsequently, he frequently invited Guo Lanying to dinner to appreciate each other's unique insights on music and art, and their relationship gradually deepened.
Since the age of the two is no longer young, they decided to get married not long after they fell in love. In the days of the newlywed Yan'er, Fang Pudong did his duty as a husband and cared for Guo Lanying.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon after Guo Lanying became pregnant, she was arranged to perform a difficult task.
Guo Lanying had to go to a small island where only two soldiers were stationed to give a condolence performance for the soldiers. Fang Pudong was deeply worried because of the difficult environment, but Guo Lanying did not care, and she firmly believed that she could do it.
However, unexpectedly, due to the harsh environment and overwork, Guo Lanying unfortunately lost the fetus in her womb. At the time, she was lying in a hospital bed, still recovering from the grief of losing her child, when she received even more brutal news that her body had suffered severe damage and that she could no longer be a mother.
At that moment, Guo Lanying felt that the whole world was collapsing in front of her eyes, and she cried bitterly. Fang Pudong hugged her helplessly on the side, telling her with practical actions that he would always be with her.
However, due to unacceptable pressure from both parents, they were forced to separate from their son, Fang Pudong.
Thus, their sweet married life came to an abrupt end. Guo Lanying was deeply distressed and confused, unable to accept the instant collapse of her family.
In order to numb herself, she devoted all her efforts to her career.
Faced with the dilemma of her love life, Guo Lanying did not give up, and she has achieved one peak achievement after another in her career. Her voice echoed in the sky above the motherland, shocking again and again, conveying her love for this land, and she wrote her magnificent life with vocal music.
After the divorce, Guo Lanying experienced a low point in her life, but she did not give up. Soon, she met Wan Zhaoyuan, a Chinese painter, who fell in love with her and decided to show her her heart.
Wan Zhaoyuan expressed his sincere feelings to Guo Lanying, "I have never cared about the problem of you being unable to have children, what I love is you as a person." Guo Lanying was deeply moved by these words, and the relationship between the two was stable.
Guo Lanying, who had just entered a sweet love, suffered a serious accident. Because of her long singing career, her mandible suffered severe wear and tear, and during an important performance, she suddenly couldn't sing, so she had to suspend the performance to apologize to the audience.
After the examination, the doctor recommended that Guo Lanying undergo jaw implant surgery, which is a complex and major operation that requires general anesthesia. However, Guo Lanying was worried that general anesthesia might cause complications, so she finally chose local anesthesia.
The procedure was unusually lengthy, and at the last moment of stitching, the anesthetic lost its effectiveness. Despite this, Guo Lanying never let out a single moan, just held the nurse's hand tightly, and tightened it with every stitch, and stubbornly survived this hurdle.
Under the careful care of Wan Zhaoyuan, Guo Lanying quickly recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The ordeal strengthened their relationship, and the two tied the knot soon after. Wan Zhaoyuan still takes great care of Guo Lanying.
As she grows older, Guo Lanying is no longer suitable to continue her stage career. She hopes to leave her hosting job and start a music school as a way to contribute to the inheritance of the arts.
Before making a plan, she consulted with Wan Gigayuan. Wan Zhaoyuan said that no matter what decision she makes, he will fully support it.
In this way, the farewell concert was held as scheduled. However, in the final finale, an accident happened. Due to the age of the theater and the serious wear and tear of the carpet, Guo Lanying accidentally fell to the ground during the last scene of "The White-Haired Girl" and fractured her bones on the spot.
Despite the excruciating pain, she persevered through the show and collapsed on stage. Colleagues immediately took her to the hospital for examination, where doctors confirmed that her sacrum was a comminuted fracture.
This time, Wan Zhaoyuan quickly arrived at the hospital again, and when he saw his wife lying on the hospital bed, he was extremely distressed.
Under the careful care of Wan Zhaoyuan, Guo Lanying was able to recover quickly and be discharged from the hospital. After that, the two went to Panyu, Guangdong Province hand in hand and devoted themselves to the establishment of education. The two took matters into their own hands and transformed a dilapidated farm into a modern school building.
In this school, Guo Lanying is both the principal and the teacher. Every morning, she leads her students through rigorous artistic training and imparts what she has learned throughout her life without reservation.
Although she is over the age of six, she is still doing it herself until the last moment of her life.
No matter what decision Guo Lanying makes, Wan Zhaoyuan always silently supports and practices her love vow with actions. Their married life has reached the ideal state of harmony and is hailed as a role model.
However, the good times did not last long, and Wan Zhaoyuan unfortunately passed away in 1998, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Guo Lanying. In the course of her life, Wan Zhaoyuan was like a ray of light illuminating the way forward, losing him, she was in great pain, and even fainted for a while.
In the days that followed, Guo Lanying gradually walked out of the shadow of widowhood and devoted herself to her career and teaching. However, the biggest regret in her life was that she was unable to have children.
Whenever she sees someone else's child, she feels a sense of loss that she can't vent. Two failed marriages failed to fulfill her desire to have children, which will undoubtedly become a wound that will never heal in her life.
Faced with the helplessness of life, Guo Lanying resolutely devoted herself to the cause of education. She co-founded a vocal music school with Wan Zhaoyuan, pouring decades of hard work and lifelong learning into this fertile soil.
In the early days of the school, the conditions were very difficult. They chose an abandoned farm on the mountainside as the site for the school, cleaned up weeds, built a straw shed, installed a boiler, and worked with a group of volunteers to transform the land into a modern school building.
Guo Lanying is the principal and teacher of this school, and she wears many hats. Every morning, she leads her students through rigorous artistic training. Even though she is over 90 years old, she still demonstrates in person, showing students the classic clip of "Xi'er" escaping in "The White-Haired Girl" over and over again.
Although she fell and got up many times, Guo Lanying always kept smiling and inspired the students with the power of action. Looking at her figure, Wan Zhaoyuan was distressed and tried to persuade her not to work too hard, but Guo Lanying always shook her head lightly, her eyes firm.
She once said affectionately, "I would like to be a small stepping stone for the younger generation to gain strength from it and move towards success step by step." It is because of this selfless dedication that she has unreservedly passed on her deep understanding and unique insights into the arts to countless students.
Batch after batch of outstanding singers and vocal music educators, accompanied by Guo Lanying's guidance, have taken over the baton of the Chinese nation's vocal art, so that it can be passed on from generation to generation and carried forward.
Whether on the stage or in the classroom, Guo Lanying always devotes herself wholeheartedly and to every activity. Even after that fracture accident, she didn't give up, but gritted her teeth and persevered until the last moment to finish the show.
Wan Zhaoyuan has always been by his wife's side and takes care of him meticulously.
The two old men got along with each other and spent the last years of their lives together. Although Guo Lanying has not given birth in her life, she has integrated all her maternal love into teaching, treating students as her own children and loving them.
In the years full of hardships and hardships, Guo Lanying interpreted the responsibility and responsibility of an artist with her own practical actions. She was not crushed by the difficulties of fate, but wrote a moving movement with her own vitality and perseverance, passing on the artistic spirit of the nation from generation to generation.
