Li Na is the once well-deserved queen of ost.
htmlIn 10 years, she has sang more than 200 songs for more than 160 film and television works.Among them, classic music such as " Good People's Life Safe ", " Brutal Fence ", and " Sister-in-law's Song " are still being sung.
Even the original singer of " Qinghai-Tibet Plateau " that we are familiar with is actually Li Na.
Some people say that if you listen to the songs but don’t listen to the “Qingxia-Tibet Plateau”, it means you listen to the song in vain; if you have listened to the “Qingxia-Tibet Plateau” but haven’t listened to the version of Li Na, it means you don’t understand the song at all.
Li Na's position in the music industry is unmatched, and
she and Mao Amin and Wei Wei were once hailed as the three peaks in my country's music industry.
However, in 1997, she suddenly announced her becoming a monk, and her choice not only puzzled the audience, but also pushed her elderly mother into endless pain.
Mother followed her all the way to the United States, wanting to change her ideas.
Now 25 years have passed, has the mother convinced Li Na?
What about their lives now?
1
Li Na's original name is Niu Zhihong .
1963 was born in a poor family in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.
Lost his father in his early years and depended on his mother and sister for life.
My mother works during the day, so she takes care of her sister and carries out housework at home.
It is said that poor children are early in their family, but Li Na, who is only 5 years old, feels sensible to her mother.
Without the protection of his father, Li Na and her sister have suffered a lot of eyebrow and were bullied by people around them.
She was unwilling to add more burden to her mother, so she endured all this silently.
The tragic fate of her childhood trained her perseverance.
12 years old, Li Na was admitted to Henan Opera Academy, specializing in Henan Opera .
The study of opera is boring and boring.
is two points and one line every day, except sleeping and practicing.
The heavy learning tasks are overwhelming.
Many people failed to persevere, but Li Na cherished this opportunity very much.
She has always been the most diligent student in the class.
comes early and walks late every day, like a tireless sponge, tirelessly learning opera knowledge.
In just three years, she grew from a poor student with zero foundation to a top student in the school.
With excellent results, Li Na was assigned to the Henan Henan Opera Troupe, greatly reducing the burden on her mother.
In recent years, in order to support her in her studies, my mother also had to work part-time after work in addition to her job.
The young sister followed her mother to do odd jobs, and the mother and daughter ate braised vegetables, which made her get enough of her annual tuition.
Li Na sees all this in her eyes and keeps it in her heart. The moment she got
into the group, she vowed to let her mother and sister live a good life.
Life in the Henan Opera Troupe is not easy.
Li Na, who is still a newcomer, studied and performed while performing.
Starlight does not ask the people who are rushing, time pays off.
In 1982, 18-year-old Li Na made a big splash with her role as "She Taijun" in the Henan drama "A Centenary of the Year".
not only won the honor of "The First Prize for the First Young Actors in Henan Province",
also made the group decide to train her as a newcomer.
"Golden Voice" Li Na suddenly became a celebrity in the Henan Opera Troupe.
However, fame did not bring much help to her.
instead made her relationship with some people in the group more subtle.
At the same time, her meager salary also began to shake her heart.
A salary of dozens of yuan is far from affording the life of mother and daughter.
This made Li Na, who was determined to live a new life with her mother and sister, feel frustrated.
Li Na, who is in her youth, fell into deep confusion.
Day after day of Henan opera performances can no longer arouse her inner passion.
Not long after, she chose to transfer to the provincial singing and dancing troupe.
The music scene in the 1980s was already emerging. Li Na, who was born with a good voice, was still as if she was in a completely unfamiliar singing and dancing troupe, and her singing voice was deeply loved by the audience. Among all the popular songs in
, her favorite song is the songs of Teresa Teng .
In the past two years in the singing and dancing troupe, life has been relaxed and comfortable.
During the days when she sang loudly, Li Na gradually understood her heart.
She wants to sing!
stands on a bigger stage and sings!
The song and dance troupe that has no choice but to learn is no longer suitable for her. She turned her attention to Shenzhen, which is close to Hong Kong and has developed rapidly.
She told her mother that she wanted to quit her job and go to the south to learn singing.
At that time, "iron rice bowl" was still a good job that everyone envied.
Li's mother really didn't expect her daughter to have such a ridiculous idea.
But her crazy opposition did not hinder Li Na's determination.
The experience of childhood has developed her extremely independent personality. As long as she decides, eight horses can't pull back.
Li's mother couldn't persuade her, so she had to wipe her tears and let her leave.
Li Na hugged her mother and comforted her, "Mom, I will take good care of myself and support you and my sister in the future. Don't worry, you have to take good care of your health."
The train slowly took Li Na's figure away, and
Li's mother followed behind the train, bursting into tears.
The mother who traveled thousands of miles was worried. As her daughter left, her heart seemed to be pulled hard.
After coming to Shenzhen, Li Na soon suffered a Waterloo in her life.
She has no money and no connections and has been rejected by record companies one after another.
She could only work to make ends meet while trying to find an opportunity.
This opportunity soon came to her side.

1988, the Beijing "Ruyi Cup" singer competition was in full swing.
These endless singer competitions provide countless young people who are determined to realize their dreams.
After learning the news, Li Na kept packing her packages and patted her butt and boarded the train heading north.
Li Na's competition that year was a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.
With her excellent singing skills, she defeated Guo Gongfang , Zhang Jihong and others one after another, and won the championship in the popular group in one fell swoop.
Li Na, who shined on the stage, was finally seen by more people.
The following year, she received an invitation from the TV series "Fence, Women and Dog" and sang the interlude "Bitch Fence" .
As the TV series is popular, her name is also well known to more people.
1990, " Desire " found Li Na and sang the opening song "A Good Man's Life Safe" .
After "Desire" was broadcast, there were thousands of people.
As the lead singer of the theme song, Li Na quickly became popular. While winning the second National Top Ten Film and Television Singer Award,
also became popular all over the country with the songs. Li Na, who has developed rapidly in her career, has since released film and television songs such as "Ode to Sister-in-law", " Woman is a Tiger ", and "About Tibet" .
Among them, "Ode to Sister-in-law" has brought her career to a higher level.
won the third National Top Ten Film and Television Singers and the International Grand Prix of Romania MTV.
The tone is mellow and the sound range is wider and more people are beginning to know it.
Her singing voice is domineering and soft, she can control almost any style, and is one of the few all-round singers.
By chance, the composer Zhang Qianyi was deeply moved by her singing.
In 1994, behind the scenes of Li Na's concert, Zhang Qianyi excitedly said that he wanted to create a song specifically for Li Na.
This song is still regarded as a classic "Qingdaei-Tibet Plateau".
It deeply combines popular singing method with folk music singing method, putting high requirements for singers.
As soon as the song was released, Li Na became a god several times.
There are many people who cover "Qingxia and Tibet Plateau", and Han Hong also became famous by covering "Qingxia and Tibet Plateau", but no one can surpass her singing style.
Li Na, who became a monk halfway through, is unlike Wei Wei and Mao Amin, who has reliable teachers around her to lead her forward.
She can only explore alone, learn to integrate the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, thus forming a very distinctive personal feature.
Singer's path, she has always been harder and more tiring than others.
Behind the success of
is hard work and hard work.
Li Na once admitted that her voice has no innate advantages, it is all acquired "self-destruction".
Other singers want to be active in public 24 hours a day, for fear of being forgotten,
Li Na often hides in the house alone to practice voice. If the conditions are OK, she can even focus on practicing in the house without going out for a whole year.
She has strict requirements for herself and has to practice the amount of two concerts every afternoon.
During the singing practice, she did not allow anyone to disturb her.
Even if you eat, you will be delivered to the door by a specialist.
Every song handed to her is like a treasure, she pondered it word by word.
Even if you don’t read the manuscript, the singing can flow in her mind.
When recording songs in the recording studio, Li Na rarely wastes time. As long as it is her song, she can often pass it once.
Her singing voice can't even picky producers to find fault.
It is this meticulous spirit that has enabled Li Na to reach one artistic peak after another.
Her purity and pursuit of music are amazing.
In her heart, there is only music, but music.
Over the years, for the sake of music, Li Na's lifelong affairs have been delayed again and again.
Mother also turned pale over her marriage.

The first thing Li Na did after she became famous was to fulfill her original promise.
She sent her sister to study abroad and bought a big house for her mother in the capital.
My mother is old and her hometown is hard to leave, so she invested to build her hometown in order to make her mother live more comfortable.
The daughter's filial piety made Li's mother smile and bent her mouth.
Only after seeing the scene of other people's children and grandchildren lying around their knees, she will feel sad.
In a blink of an eye, Li Na is already 30 years old and is still alone.
This makes Li's mother feel like her heart is hurting as if she is stabbed by a needle whenever she thinks of her mother.
She began to urge Li Na to go on blind dates frequently.
By chance, Li Na met a divorced man 10 years older than her.
The other party has a gentle personality and a polite conversation, which is very popular with Li Na.
Although the other party has a child, Li Na doesn't care about it.
Li's mother didn't care even more when she saw her daughter finally having someone she liked.
instead kept urging, "Get married now, while your mother is young, I can help you take care of your children."
But love is not that simple.
Li Na is particularly pure in music and is unwilling to compromise in love.
The two have been dating for two years, but they have never been able to fully adapt to each other's personalities.
So two years later, they broke up decently.
At the same time, Li Na's career has also fallen into a bottleneck.
The music scene in the late 1990s was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Li Na, who still insists on the ethics of the older generation of artists, seems out of place here.
In order to make money, the company will surely maximize her interests.
She is either at the recording of songs or at the commercial performance every day.
Even if she finally has free time, she must seize every time to practice her voice.
No one’s success can be achieved overnight.
Li Na's almost strict work attitude is the basis for her success, but it also consumed her body too quickly.
Long-term "self-destruction" made Li Na's body begin to decay prematurely.
She will appear at the hospital door every now and then because she is sick.
's weak body makes her unable to get excited no matter what she does.
sometimes even hallucinations and she is confused.
As the saying goes, "The body is the capital of revolution."
does not have a good physical condition, and Li Na is also powerless in the face of her favorite music career.
What's worse is that under heavy pressure, she began to suffer from insomnia, depression, hair loss, and her mental state became worse day by day.
This is like a vicious cycle, where Li Na is trapped in it and cannot break free.
Since "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", rumors about her oversight have become increasingly serious, which undoubtedly aggravated her condition.
In 1995, two Buddhist friends heard about Li Na and gave her a book called "The Mantra of the Ming Dynasty".
At the beginning, Li Na did not take it seriously, but put it casually in the study.
Later, she was suffering from the increasingly painful condition and accidentally opened the book "The Great Ming Mantra". In the quiet night, the words in the book were like a breeze, slowly soothing her inner restlessness.
That night, Li Na had a good dream for a long time.
She began to gradually fall in love with Buddhism , and with the help of two Buddhist friends, she had a long talk with the temple host.
She poured out the depression in her heart.
host and she was enlightened one by one, and at the end she gave her a gift :
"The tranquility of the mind and spiritual liberation are the hometown of the wise man's dream."
This sentence chewed repeatedly in her heart. The more she thought, the more she felt that the host's words were meaningful.
Later, she came to Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiakou at the invitation of her friend.
As soon as she arrived at Tianmen Mountain, she was deeply shocked by the continuous green indians here.
The breeze brings the fragrance of green grass, and at that moment, it seems that the soul has also been cleansed.
The arrival of the famous singer Li Na also made the villagers here ecstatic.
They spontaneously pulled up a banner: Warmly welcome singer Li Na to us to develop Tianmen Mountain.
Li Na Tianmenshan interview
They expressed their enthusiasm for Li Na's arrival.
There are also workers who came temporarily, and they were talking loudly with the villagers, shouting Li Na's name over and over again, hoping that Li Na could stay here.
Picturesy scenery, simple villagers.
Everything here deeply attracted Li Na, who longed for a pure land.
Not long after she returned, she decisively transferred her household registration here.
also built a Li Na hut on Tianmen Mountain. (Later renamed Li Na Villa)
Her greatest fun every day is to pick wild vegetables with the forest guard and his wife.
After staying away from the hustle and bustle of the world, Li Na returned to her true nature and felt an unprecedented calm.
During this time here, she repeatedly remembered the message given by the host to her.
The increasingly noisy music scene is no longer her return.
1997, Li Na made a fuss on Mount Wutai.

0 When the news of Li Na becoming a monk was exposed, it happened that the opening of the Chinese original song "Seasonal Selection" was about to be announced.
Many people don’t believe this news.
Some people even think that Li Na's company is secretly hyping her up, hoping to attract attention.
Li Na’s two friends also appeared and made a statement, proving that this is just a false rumor.
After all, anyone who is familiar with Li Na will know how devout her for music. How could she choose to become a monk without continuing her musical dream?
But no one can stop Li Na, who has already made up her mind.
34 years old, she was ordained at Pushou Temple in Wutai Mountain, with the Dharma name Shi Changsheng .
She made up her mind to separate from the previous one.
But she was hiding in Mount Wutai to practice, and she could not escape the media's spear and cannon.
A generation of queens became a monk when their career was in its popularity!
Everyone was very curious about Li Na’s choice.
They tried every means to get an answer from Li Na’s mouth.
The media raided and blocked the originally quiet temple and made it miserable.
In desperation, Li Na went abroad.
practiced in an American temple and gradually faded out of the audience's sight. Li Na did not dare to tell her mother about becoming a monk.
At that time, my sister had settled in Canada, and my mother helped her sister take care of the children in Canada.
But this matter is too big.
The mother, who is far away in Canada, still found news of her daughter becoming a monk in the newspaper.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for her.
She suddenly collapsed on the sofa, tears falling like rain.
My sister could not accept the news that my sister had sent a post as Nicky.
The mother and daughter rushed to the United States all the way, wanting to persuade Li Na to return to secular life.
Even if you don’t want to return home, you can follow them to live in Canada.
But Li Na decided, and her mother and sister couldn't persuade her at all.
My sister still has her own life, and Li's mother drove her back and grinded her with her eldest daughter alone in the United States.
No mother and daughter can convince each other. Sometimes, as they talk, they will hug their heads and cry.
Li Na insisted on practicing here, so Li's mother temporarily lived in a friend's house.
Li Na did not change her mind for a day, so she stayed here for a day.
Li's mother, who is with her daughter, shed more tears in recent years than in previous years.
But her tears did not disturb Li Na's heart toward Buddha.
Left first Li Na
Over the years, looking at Li Na with her happy and her cheeks are becoming increasingly plump, Li's mother's originally firm heart began to slowly shake.
As a parent, I naturally want my daughter to be happier.
Li Na, who was far away from the secular world, did not abandon her beloved music.
She became "Master Changsheng", and has successively published albums about Buddhist scriptures such as "Singing the Sutras to You" and "Li Na's Brief Talk about Buddhist scriptures".
Her mother did not leave, but chose to live with her daughter.
The mother and daughter live in the temple, working from sunrise to rest at sunset, and living naturally and comfortable.
For Li Na, no matter how much fame and fortune is, it is already the past.
She has higher pursuits deep in her heart.
Conclusion
Li Na, who practices in the United States, has always avoided the media.
Only Jiang Kun , who met her by chance, and in the conversation with her, she pieced together her mood at that time.
Jiang Kun, "Why did you become a monk at the beginning?"
Li Na, "I didn't become a monk, I went home!"
Su Shi has a poem "This place of peace of mind is my hometown", which is most suitable for Li Na.
In the rolling world, Li Na, who is looking for a pure land, has found her spiritual home and returned to her home in the depths of her soul?
As audiences and fans, we can only wish you blessings!
