was deeply hurt by "Goodbye Lover", so I plan to watch "The Sound of Life" to heal.
In addition to once again paying tribute to the Hong Kong Philharmonic, this season of "Continuous Sound" also invited many popular singers, such as Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang.
To be honest, I was a little surprised when I saw Li Yuchun. After all, she rarely participates in variety shows, and even less in music variety shows.
But you have to say that her resources are really good. Next door, He Jie begged her grandpa and grandma to get "Sister Lang". This time she asked for "Singer" on the stage of "Time Concert".
Jie’s dream stage seems to be within easy reach for Li Yuchun. This makes people very confused. Li Yuchun seems to have no masterpieces in recent years. Why does he continue to be popular?

In 2005, 21-year-old Li Yuchun stood on the stage of "Super Girl", wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with neat short hair. At that time, she was completely different from those "sweet contestants" who were riding big waves and singing love songs.
As a result, 3.52 million people across the country voted for her, directly pushing her to the championship position.
What is this concept? It was 2005, there was no Weibo, and there was no word traffic, but Li Yuchun used her style and singing to create an era of "national idol".
Being famous is not all glory.
html In 2 years, she was swept up by the enthusiasm from all over the country, and her schedule was full. I catch an early flight to a different city every day, and even the house I live in looks like a makeshift hotel, so messy that there are no chairs.
"Who am I? Where am I?" This kind of confusion has become her daily life.
What is even more disturbing is that she has been pushed to the forefront by public opinion.
Some people call her "Brother Chun", some say she is "too alternative", and some use her photo as a "Family Planning" poster, teasing her that "boys and girls are the same".
But she didn’t complain or respond.
She chose to prove herself with actions. In the first year after

became popular, she turned down many commercial performances and spent her time and energy on the production of her first album "Queen and Dream".
This album is very impressive, selling 1.37 million copies, directly winning the first place in the music chart that year, and also won a bunch of awards.
Since then, she has released an album every year without stopping.
But her music is more than just a numbers game. She uses her works to talk to the audience. From the initial confusion of youth, to later social observation, to today's life insights, her music is always growing.
If we don’t go crazy, we’ll be old”, “For Girls”, “Five Organs”... Every song seems to be telling a story, and the protagonist of these stories may be her or you.
Her music is alive.

Of course, music alone cannot make you famous for 20 years. There is another important part of Li Yuchun's "Long Red Code": she never follows the trend.
In 2005, Li Yuchun debuted with a neutral style. With short hair, a shirt, and jeans, her image was refreshing and avant-garde, but she seemed out of place in that era.
is “too boyish” and “not feminine enough”. Similar voices are heard endlessly.
But she doesn't care.
In 2012, she became the "Asian muse" of French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. At that time, her style in the concert was inspired by gothic style and futuristic style. Gaultier not only customized clothes for her personally, but also called her "a person who can tell a story through fashion."
In 2013, Li Yuchun’s fashion achievements reached a higher level. Givenchy's creative director Riccardo Tisci said: "Her beauty is not beautiful in the traditional sense, but a kind of addictive uniqueness." He designed a series of outfits for her, from red carpets to concerts, every outfit All have become classics.
Li Yuchun himself also likes to explore the combination of fashion and art. She will discuss the details of stage costumes with designers and even participate in the design herself. Once, for a concert, she proposed to make a jumpsuit out of silver holographic fabric, so that the clothing would look futuristic under the lights. After the effect came out, everyone was amazed.
In addition to designers, fashion magazines are also full of praise for her. From the covers of five major fashion magazines to international red carpets, she has used her style to redefine the androgynous aesthetic.
More importantly, her style is never dictated by trends, but always remains her own.

Li Yuchun’s exploration never stops at music and fashion. She also tries to expand her boundaries with acting.
In 2013, she participated in Lai Shengchuan's drama "A Dream Like a Dream". This was her first challenge to perform an 8-hour stage play. For this play, she gave up all commercial activities.
, she was not a star, but an ordinary newcomer actor. She rehearses from afternoon to late night every day, eating box lunches with other actors and taking the bus to the show together. Someone bought a portion of Malatang and gave it to her, and she was so moved that she wanted to cry.
In this drama, she plays a patient who is on the verge of death. There are not many lines, but emotions must be conveyed through delicate performances. Lai Shengchuan said: "Li Yuchun's calmness and concentration are her greatest strength." After
ended, she became clearer about what she wanted. She does not do it to prove anything, but to enrich her work.
Later, she starred in several movies, such as "October Siege" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". But she has always remained humble about her identity as an actress, considering it just a new endeavor, not a career.

However, what really gave her a deeper understanding of life was the sudden illness.
In 2021, she was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis . This disease, known as "immortal cancer," made her go through the most difficult period of her life.
When the disease was most severe, she needed to travel in a wheelchair, and even lying down to sleep became a luxury. Once, while recording a new song at home, she suddenly collapsed halfway through the song and cried while holding the microphone.
During that time, it took her a long time to accept her changes.
Later, she wrote a song called "Five Internal Organs". She said: "Even if the body is petrified, the heart and soul will still be rushing with blood."
This song is not only what she said to herself, but also to all people who have experienced pain.
After experiencing the pain, her understanding of life changed. She began to cherish the days when she could walk and sing every day, and she also knew how to care about the people around her.
You may ask, why can a singer be popular for 20 years?
Li Yuchun’s answer may be simple: because she has never thought about becoming famous.
She focuses on her works, her life, and being a real person.
In the past 20 years, the entertainment industry has been changing, but Li Yuchun has always stood here, telling us with her works, style and attitude -
