Let's raise our glasses. A brief introduction of a friend's singer

Yan Weiwen, tenor of the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army of China, national first-class actor of China, director of the China Musicians Association, member of the Standing Committee of all-china youth federation, representative of the 15th Party Congress of China, and representative of the 10th National People's Congress. He won the first prize of national singing in the professional group of the 3rd National Young Singers TV Grand Prix, the China "Golden Record" Award and many other national awards.

Yan Weiwen was born in Pingyao County, Shanxi Province. /kloc-joined the provincial song and dance troupe at the age of 0/3,/kloc-joined the army at the age of 0/5. This singer, who now takes singing as her lifelong career, spent nine years in dancing in her initial artistic career. When he found the artistic orientation of singing, he began to adjust himself and insisted on going on. Taking Wei, Jin and Cheng Zhi as teachers, he successfully combined national singing with western singing and formed a unique artistic style. His pure and bright timbre, wide range like the sea, fluent voice like a spring, simple and sincere feelings conquered many audiences. He recorded theme songs and episodes for more than 40 TV dramas and TV musicals, such as The Last Emperor, The Master of the Sea Lantern and The Warrior. Audio-visual publishing houses in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shantou and other Chinese record companies have produced solo albums for him, such as One Book in Two Places, Love between Mother and Child, Emei Restaurant, Honestly, Northeast Folk Album and so on. In these four solo albums, many of them were first sung by Yan Weiwen, which was appreciated by the audience and experts. His Shanxi folk song "Pastoral" makes people feel very rustic. And "Fenhe River flows" and "People say that Shanxi has good scenery". And the taste of folk songs and the spirit of the times are just right; Shaanxi folk song Sacrifice Spirit, Tibetan Spring on the Plateau and Sichuan Emei Restaurant all push the singing skills of all kinds of folk songs to the extreme.

Yan Weiwen sang four songs, one is Little Poplar, the other is Mother, and the other two are From the Heart and Song 1234. In the army, these four songs are similar to Guerrilla Songs and Shooting Songs in the 1950s and 1960s. Everyone can sing and everyone loves to sing. In the vocal competition of many professional or amateur singers in the army, there are often many singers who choose to sing these three songs. Sometimes four or five people choose to sing these three songs at the same time in a game. The popularity of these three songs has a very important reason besides the contribution of lyrics and composition. First, Yan Weiwen sang these songs and persistently spread them to the hearts of the audience and cadres and soldiers through various media means such as television, radio and stage. His unique and artistic singing charmed many audiences. When singing these songs, many singers tried to imitate Yan Weiwen in voice, articulation and action performance, which shows that Yan Weiwen's singing skills have been recognized by the audience. When performing in Canada, a local vocal music professor couldn't help but marvel at the singing level of eastern singers: I didn't expect China folk singers to have such a good foundation, such a good breath and such a * * * voice.

Yan Weiwen has great ambitions for China's national vocal music. He once said: National music has a broad and profound mass base in China. However, with the development of the times, the art of national vocal music must also keep pace with the times. I will never abandon the national things, always take root in my native land and make my own contribution to the prosperity of national vocal music.
