The Spring Festival Gala has almost become an indispensable program for us every New Year’s Eve. We can see a variety of different programs on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala every year.
However, since the Spring Festival Gala officially meets everyone, we will always hear the song "Unforgettable Tonight" at the end of every year.
Nowadays, the song "Unforgettable Tonight" can be said to be well-known to everyone. As long as they can hear the melody of this song, everyone will hum it involuntarily.
Li Guyi, the original singer of this song, has become a frequent guest at the Spring Festival Gala. To this day, she is still singing this song on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
She spent her whole life focusing on her music career, but neglected her family and was full of guilt for her daughter.
Li Guyi was born in Kunming, Yunnan in 1944. Because his parents were both literary and artistic elements, Li Guyi liked the stage since he was a child.
Afterwards, she was admitted to the Hunan Art College. After graduation, she entered the Hunan Huagu Theater. In the theater, Li Guyi stood out among the others.
Her performance in the Flower Drum Opera movie "Mending the Pot" also won the Outstanding Performance Award. It was precisely because of this that Li Guyi was affected by the environment at that time and went to the countryside.
She was very sad when her acting career was suddenly terminated, but she did not give up her pursuit of art. Several years of boring rural life made Li Guyi feel even more depressed. Eager to learn.
In 1967, Li Guyi was appreciated by Jin Tielin by chance and became his student. Under Jin Tielin's guidance, Li Guyi achieved high achievements in music.
Through his own efforts, Li Guyi was admitted to the Central Orchestra and became a soloist. After making a breakthrough in his career, Li Guyi was not afraid of worldly vision and his own Mentor Jin Tielin came together.
After marriage, with the help of her husband, Li Guyi's career continued to rise. She often performed everywhere and spent very little time with Jin Tielin.
Even so, the relationship between the two is still sweet. In order to make their family more complete, the two also decided to have a child.
Unfortunately, their ideas did not go as planned. Jin Tielin was afraid that he would delay Li Guyi from becoming a mother, so he filed for divorce.
However, Li Guyi valued her first marriage very much, and she did not agree. Finally, at Jin Tielin's insistence, the two finally divorced.
After the divorce, Li Guyi focused all her energy on music for a long time. Slowly, she became a well-known female singer.
After she became famous, she did not know that another relationship came quietly. At that time, Xiao Zhuoneng could be said to be a fan of Li Guyi. He liked Li Guyi's songs very much. He Not only do I often watch Li Guyi's performances, buy her records, but I also often send her flowers.
Faced with Xiao Zhuoneng’s behavior, Li Guyi was completely unaware of it until one time when Li Guyi was about to perform, Xiao Zhuoneng ran backstage and presented a bouquet of flowers to express his disapproval. Only when Li Guyi liked him did she understand what he meant.
After meeting Xiao Zhuoneng, Li Guyi was deeply impressed by him. Since then, the two have become very good friends.
Under Xiao Zhuoneng's pursuit again and again, Li Guyi finally fell in love. After falling in love for a while, the two entered the marriage hall.
One year after their marriage, Li Guyi gave birth to a daughter, and the two named their daughter "Xiao Yi". While the family was happy, Li Guyi's music career once again welcomed the challenge. There comes a peak.
In 1983, she participated in the Spring Festival Gala and sang 6 songs including "Song of Spring", "Say Hello to the Motherland", and "Hometown Love".
The broadcast of the first Spring Festival Gala was a huge success, and Li Guyi became a well-known singer.
During the Spring Festival Gala the following year, director Huang Yihe always felt that at the end of the Spring Festival Gala, there was one less song that could be combined with the previous program.
So, he found the lyricist Qiao Yu and wrote the song "Unforgettable Tonight". After this song appeared, many people felt that it was not very good.
Huang Yihe did not adopt the opinions of others, and also hired Li Guyi to record the song. After the song was put on the stage, it became popular all over the country.
After that, the melody of this song would be played at the end of the Spring Festival Gala every year, and Li Guyi had appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times.
In addition, she often performs abroad. Many people also want to become her teacher. Wei Wei, Cui Jian and others we are familiar with were all her students. student.
Li Guyi does his best to treat his students. Whether it is academically or in life, whenever everyone has difficulties, Li Guyi will lend a helping hand.
However, she neglected her daughter Xiao Yi. When Xiao Yi was very young, she could only be by her daughter's side.
When Xiao Yi was very young, she and her husband were very busy at work, so they had to send Xiao Yi to the home of a colleague.
Xiao Yi lay by the window every day, waiting for her mother to pick her up. Sometimes, Xiao Yi fell asleep in other people's homes, and Li Guyi hurried over.
When Xiao Yi was in kindergarten, he accidentally broke his arm. When he received the call, Li Guyi was performing out of town and could not go home immediately.
The young Xiao Yi was in so much pain that he kept shouting "Mom, Mom". Finally, his father and grandma rushed to the kindergarten.
After Li Guyi’s performance, half a month had passed. When Xiao Yi saw his mother, he did not want to pay attention to her. When Li Guyi saw this situation, Very sad.
She also wanted to repair the relationship between the two. On Xiao Yi's birthday, Li Guyi put down work and took her to the mall to play.
But at that time, Li Guyi was already a well-known star. She was immediately surrounded by many people after she appeared. Everyone shook hands with her and asked for autographs, while Xiao Yi was squeezed out. When she got to the side, her resentment towards her mother deepened.
After that, Xiao Yi no longer called Li Guyi "Mom", but called her "Teacher Li". This call lasted for more than 20 years.
Even though she has grown up, her childhood complaints against her mother have not diminished. It was not until Li Guyi got older and her health was not as good as before that she realized how difficult it was for her mother.
Later, Li Guyi also reduced her performances. She finally had time to accompany her husband and daughter and enjoy the happiness of family.
However, such happiness did not last long. On May 29, 2020, her husband Xiao Zhuoneng passed away due to illness.
Xiao Zhuoneng and Li Guyi have had a deep relationship for decades, and he has always tolerated Li Guyi. It is difficult for her to accept the death of her husband.
In the saddest days of her life, her daughter Xiao Yi has been by her side. Now, she has gradually overcome her sadness.
Li Guyi is a national first-class actor and a famous singer. In our opinion, she is brilliant, but behind the scenes, she has put in a lot of hard work.
Behind her fame, there has always been the silent waiting of her husband and the sacrifice of her daughter. She is also full of guilt for her family.
Now that she has entered her old age, she still has not given up her beloved music career. We also wish this old artist happiness and health in her future life.
