We will never forget this singer. How is she doing now? 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 made Ma Yutao harvest countless flowers and applause, and so far, Ma Yutao has not left the song of "Ma'er". From a small soldier raising horses to a soloist, to being recognized by "Bo le" Wang Kunhui, and finally famous for "Horses, You Go Slowly", Ma Yutao's life and "Ma" have formed an indissoluble relationship.
From horse breeding warrior to soloist. Ma Yutao is not only surnamed Ma, her legendary life is related to "ma". Ma Yutao's earliest association with Ma Yutao was in the Inner Mongolian cavalry unit more than 50 years ago. Ma Yutao recalled that she joined the army at the age of 13, and soon after coming to the then Suiyuan Military Region Cultural and Labor Corps of the People's Liberation Army, she was assigned to the cavalry unit in Baotou to feed the warhorses. In addition to feeding the horses to fattening, she also served as a cultural teacher and researcher for the warriors. Once, when the troops went to the countryside to help the people work, a common man suddenly said, "Hey, there's a propaganda team there, let them sing a song!" "After shouting for half a day, no one dared to sing, and no one could sing. At this time, Ma Yutao thought that we could not let the military-civilian relations freeze here. So she applied to the instructor and said, "Instructor, I can sing two sentences!" Ma Yutao's bright voice let everyone see her musical talent.
"Horse" meets "Bole". "My 'Bole' is Wang Kun", this is the first sentence Ma Yutao said when recalling his growth path. From a singer in the literary troupe who has not entered an art school to a well-known singer in the music scene at home and abroad, Wang Kun's cultivation and leadership have played a role that cannot be ignored. Ma Yutao's soloists often seconded her to some well-known literary and art groups to participate in performances. At a concert held to select soloists, Wang Kun, a famous singer in China, discovered Ma Yutao's natural and unique voice. The "horse" was finally recognized by the "Bole".
Wang Kun, who has always loved talent, immediately found Ma Yutao and said to her: "You follow me, let's go to Shanghai, I want to retrain your voice." Since then, Bó Lè has begun to carve the "horse". Under the guidance of Wang Kun, Ma Yutao has been taught by a number of well-known vocal professors in China. A song "Horses, You Go Slowly" is popular all over China.
In 1962, "Horses, You Go Slowly", written by Li Jianyao and composed by ShengMao, was first sung by Ma Yutao and became popular all over the motherland. With her unique and thick and unrestrained singing, Ma Yutao sang melodious and free, heroic and cheerful, expressed her love for the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, and praised the thriving socialist construction. How many times this song has been sung on the stage, even Ma Yutao himself can't count. Someone once calculated for her that if she counted the average of four performances per month, Ma Yutao had sung no less than 2,000 times over the years. From the age of 26 to the present, Ma Yutao has always been full of gratitude to Li Jianyao and Shengmao, because the success of this song is inseparable from such an excellent lyricist.
Ma Yutao has a son and 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.
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 sentence that was very touching. 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.
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 in our hearts, I think, we will never forget her appearance in a green military uniform and singing with pride.
