Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if marriage does not make your life happier, then there is no need to follow the trend and get married. People in love will still be happy even without the shackles of marriage.
In 1987, 19-year-old Zhang Ye appeared in the Spring Festival Gala with the song " Liuyang River ". His bright and sweet voice was loved by the audience. Later, her song "Towards a New Era" sang throughout the motherland. Zhang Ye, a girl as pure as folk songs, is still unmarried at the age of 54. She has been with Lu Jihong for many years and has not entered the marriage hall. Why does she not want to get married?
She was so talented that she eventually became the Queen of Folk Songs
In 1968, Zhang Ye was born into a performing arts family in Changsha. Both parents were engaged in performing arts. Perhaps due to the influence of the family atmosphere, Zhang Ye showed interest in art since childhood. At the age of 4, he went to school In kindergarten, you can sing along with the model opera.
's father Zhang Xingmin soon discovered his daughter's talent in singing, so he sent her to the Changsha Children's Palace to take an exam. After that, she officially became a young actress, and later gradually became a pillar of the Children's Palace.
When she was 12 years old, Zhang Ye was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Key Middle School where her grandfather taught. Her grandfather, grandmother, and aunt were all teachers. As a scholarly family, Zhang Ye’s family wanted her to continue studying culture.
Zhang Ye was very excited when he saw that his friends in the same dormitory were all applying for the Hunan Provincial Art School . They practiced kung fu, raised their voices, and walked all day long to pass the exam. Because his mother was an actor in the Flower Drum Opera, Zhang was also interested in art since he was a child. But her family members advised her not to be half-hearted and to cherish the opportunity to attend a prestigious school.
On the last day to apply for art school, Zhang Ye’s father came back and heard that she wanted to apply for art school. He did not express any objection. He took his daughter to plead with the elderly at home and went to apply for art school the next day. The examiner asked Zhang Ye to sing a piece live, and a lark seemed to fly into the examination room, which immediately attracted students to watch, and even the windows were full of people.
With his excellent potential and the overwhelming applause in the examination room, Zhang was also admitted to the Flower Drum Opera Department of the art school. Three years later, Zhang also won first place in the Hunan Provincial Young Opera Actors Singing Competition. She also served as the heroine in the large-scale stage play "Tang Bohu and Shen Jiuniang". Zhang also became a rookie in Huagu Drama.
By chance, Zhang Ye's "Little Ferry Boat in the Mountain Country" sung in the CCTV National Youth Competition was broadcast by CCTV. Jin Tielin, a famous professor at the China Conservatory of Music who is known as the "Bole in the Music Circle", Jin Tielin, listened to this song. Shocked, she immediately wrote to Zhang Ye to encourage her to apply for the China Conservatory of Music.
Then, 17-year-old Zhang also came to Beijing and won the list with his song "Clear Sparkling River". He became a student at the China Conservatory of Music and studied vocal music under Jin Tielin. Soon after, Zhang Ye's name was resounding throughout Beijing and across the country.
In 1987, 19-year-old Zhang Ye, with the help of his mother's colleague and godmother Li Guyi, appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage and sang a song "Liuyang River". It is worth mentioning that until today, Zhang has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala 27 times. As a "Spring Festival Gala star", she has participated in all disaster relief performances in various places, condolences to overseas students, and the Hong Kong and Macau International Arts Festival.
Whether she is on the magnificent opera stage or the sandy Loess Plateau, she is full of passion whenever she appears, bringing good luck to thousands of households.
A love that ended in vain
In 1995, Zhang also encountered a major turning point in his life. This year, Zhang also got the opportunity to stay in school and teach. However, his father, who had always supported his singing dream, fell ill from malignant tumors.
After that, even though I had to attend various performances one after another on New Year's Day and the Spring Festival Gala, no matter how late or tired I was after the performance, I still had to rush back to the hospital to take care of my father.
In 1999, Zhang Ye's father's condition worsened. Zhang Ye declined all commercial performances and postponed other performances as much as possible to accompany his father as much as possible. In 2001, his father passed away, and Zhang was immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself. Finally, he gradually came out of it with the comfort of his mother. In the years that followed, Zhang Ye's mother was very concerned about his marriage, but Zhang Ye's relationship was not going well either.
Zhang also met his first love Zhang Xing at a performance. The two singers often performed together on the same stage. Gradually, they had a good impression of each other and came together. The two spent several happy years together. Zhang Xing also took Zhang Ye home, and Zhang Xing always doted on Zhang Ye.
As time went by, Zhang Xing wanted to get married as soon as possible, but Zhang also focused on his beloved singing career and avoided talking about marriage. Zhang Xing urged the marriage many times to no avail, and the two even had several outbreaks. After quarreling for the first time, there is no other way. People with different concepts of marriage cannot last long in the end.
The two people who have been in love for eight years failed because they got together less and separated more, and they had different views on marriage. Zhang Xing also really loved Zhang Ye deeply. Even after a few years of breaking up, he always wanted to get back together. However, Zhang Xing could not meet the threshold of marriage. In the end, Zhang Xing chose to marry someone who was 27 years younger than him.
Can be happy without the shackles of marriage
After ending his eight-year relationship, Zhang also devoted himself to his singing career. In 2001, Zhang Ye appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the tenth time and collaborated with Lu Jihong for the first time. However, because of their tacit cooperation, the two developed into a regular partner.
Lv Jihong is a national first-class actor and currently the deputy head of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Maritime Arts Troupe. This soldier with the rank of senior colonel always regards himself as an ordinary military camp singer, peaceful, sincere, simple and natural. It was Lu Jihong's humble and low-key character that attracted Zhang Ye, and the two were able to work together tacitly.
The two personalities are surprisingly suitable for each other. Zhang Ye is naturally casual, taking his time and taking his time no matter whether it is a performance or a competition. Lu Jihong is a bit impatient, but he loses his temper when he is with Zhang Ye.
Zhang would also take care of Lu Jihong when he was sick and cook for him. Lu Jihong was eight years older than Zhang. Lu Jihong noticed this firm-eyed and graceful little girl during a singing competition, but he never thought about the two of them in the future. People become partners.
After eight years of first love in Zhang Ye’s life that ended in nothing, Lu Jihong’s company gave Zhang Ye enough sense of security.
Partners on stage and best friends off stage, Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong have been with each other for 21 years. It seems that they can be happy and comfortable without the shackles of marriage.
Conclusion
Zhang also likes to sing. She has been pursuing an acting career all her life. In a world where pop music is popular, she has always maintained her love for folk songs. Now Zhang is 54 years old. Although she is not married, it can be seen that she is living a very happy life. She and Lu Jihong are not lovers but lovers. They pursue their singing career together and support each other.
Marriage has never been the standard that defines the happiness of a relationship between two people. Zhang Ye's lifestyle does not require the constraints of marriage. She does not want to make do with it, and prefers the free lifestyle now.
