"I don't know if I chose to dance or I chose to dance. I like dancing." This is Liu Min's opening remarks in a lecture hall.
This sentence sounds nothing special, everyone has such a dream, singing, dancing, or performing, but few people can do as well as Liu Min.
For those who are familiar with Liu Min, they only need to hear her name to know what it means, and those who don't know her title also know how great she is.
She is a famous contemporary dance artist, engaged in dance performance for more than 20 years, is a national first-class actress.
As an educator, she is the director and professor of the department of military dance, the leader of dance discipline and the tutor of graduate students.
She has won many honors such as the national young and middle-aged "moral and artistic Shuangxin" artist, Chinese dance art "outstanding contribution dancer" and so on. She is a professional and technical major general and is known as the most beautiful general in our country.
Liu Min revolves around the "art of dance" all her life.
As a dancer, she performed many classic dances in the spotlight, such as "Wedding on the execution ground", "Zhaojun out of the Sai", Xianglin Sister "and" the Butterfly to Heaven "occupies an important position in the history of contemporary dance.
As an educator, she sent many excellent young dancers to the spotlight, such as Li Xing, Li Yanchao, Qin Jiangwei, Su Peng, Huang Lufei, Zhao Song, Yili Fan and so on.
Some people say that Liu Min is really lucky.
She has made such remarkable achievements in her career, and she has also achieved success emotionally. She has a good husband who spoils her, and her family is happy.
But in fact, people who know Liu Min know that all good lives are deserved by her.
Because all this was done by her, she has been very independent since she was a child, and no one can stop what she wants to do.
The so-called kicking is to be ruthless to yourself, especially in the pursuit of your dreams and work.
Liu Min grew up in the military compound. Her parents are both soldiers. She is the youngest and smartest child in the family. Her parents place high hopes on her and hope that she can go to high school and college normally.
From everyone's point of view, Liu Min should follow this road step by step, because this seems to be the safest way, graduate with a stable job, then marry and have children, and live a happy life.
But Liu Min did not think so. After graduating from primary school, she chose to go out to learn dance.
There is only one reason: I love dancing.
Her parents objected to her choice, especially her father, who thought that not reading and learning to dance meant being uneducated.
Her father is stubborn, and Liu Min inherits his military personality, and the things he decides will not be changed easily, not to mention that it is the thing she loves most in her life.
In the end, it was the parents who compromised, and they could not beat Liu Min, but there was one requirement that they could not be left behind in the cultural class.
The strong Liu Min wants to break the assertion that "if you go dancing, you will have no culture." she spends her spare time reading books, reading all kinds of Chinese and foreign masterpieces, Tang poetry and Song ci. Even if she doesn't understand it, she grits her teeth and insists on it for decades.
She also tries to keep a diary in prose and poetry to increase her understanding of reading.
Writer Li Xiaoyi said: "good-luck women all fight with themselves and do not compete with others."
Relying on this relentless enthusiasm for learning, Liu Min not only became a teacher at the people's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, but also finished graduate school at Peking University, published two books, taught many excellent young dancers and became a famous educator.
For learning, Liu Min can be so persistent, for her favorite dance, her ruthlessness is unimaginable.
Liu Min officially began to learn dance at the age of 13, and at the age of 20 she stood out physically and professionally, becoming the darling of the Central Ballet, the Shanghai Ballet and several other art groups.
In this matter, Liu Min followed her parents' advice and chose the General political Song and Dance Troupe and really joined the army and became a soldier.
In the second year of joining the army, Liu Min was sent to perform at the Yunnan front, where living conditions were difficult, but the soldiers' lofty aspirations remained undiminished, which deeply shocked Liu Min's heart.
When she attended a Zhuang Xing cocktail party that day, a teacher brought three big teacups of wine to Liu Min and said:
Liu Min, if you think highly of us, drink these three glasses of wine. If you look down on us, I won't force you.
Liu Min did not drink alcohol, and she was a little embarrassed, but when she thought of the small wooden cards in the martyrs' garden, she thought that she might say goodbye to the soldiers in front of her today, so she raised her glass and dried the three big glasses.
This almost killed Liu Min, and the next morning she struggled to get up to prepare for the performance, only to find herself swollen all over.
When the leader of the performance sympathy group saw that she was rushed to the hospital like this, the doctor became angry as soon as he saw it:
Little girl, you are allergic to alcohol. Why do you drink so much? you are seriously alcoholic and will die.
Liu Min lay in bed for a day and night to take intravenous drip, after decades she no longer touch a little wine, even cold fever injection rubbing alcohol will be allergic, Liu Min also got a nickname "Liu allergy".
However, recalling this story, Liu Min never regretted it. She said that she could have a drink with the soldier who was about to be on the line of fire. Why did she hesitate?
She is proud of it.
These three glasses of wine seem insignificant to outsiders, but they find out Liu Min's "desperate" military character.
This is also reflected in her love of dancing, to be the best dancer, even in the face of "paralysis".
I really admire Liu Min's ruthlessness and hard on herself. in the regiment, she gave her colleagues the impression that she was a good actress who only knew how to practice, six to eight in the morning and three o'clock in the morning.
However, it was precisely because of this self-discipline and ruthlessness that made her stand out in Wudao Street, so she was invited to the first Chinese Dance "Peach and Plum Cup" competition.
This is an opportunity for Liu Min to further prove her strength. She wants to get good results in the competition, so she works overtime, and an unfortunate thing happens one month before the competition.
During the training, she sprained her waist because of an action. During the examination, the doctor solemnly warned her:
Rest and rest, never do any more big dance moves! Absolutely not to participate in the competition! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.
Liu Min didn't take it seriously. she asked the doctor what the consequences were, but she couldn't beat her, so the doctor had to tell her bluntly:
You have a fracture in some part of your lumbar spine, and you are at risk of paralysis if you do not pay attention to further injury.
Hearing this, Liu Min was stunned. Paralysis was worse than death for a dancer.
She couldn't accept it. She quarreled with the doctor and said that the doctor lied to her. In fact, she knew in her heart that the doctor could not deceive her. She was noisy only because she was afraid that she could not participate in the competition or even could not engage in the art of dancing in the future.
Back home, Liu Min cried for a day and a night. After grief, she made another decision to take part in the competition.
So she bought a special surprise, made a broad acquaintance of the board, tied up her waist tightly, and walked back into the practice room.
I will not only continue to dance, but also participate in the competition a month later, not only to participate in the competition, but also to get a good result.
At this time, Liu Min can only think about dancing and competitions, and nothing else is important to her.
A month later, Liu Min won the first place in the first Chinese Dance "Peach and Plum Cup" competition. fortunately, there was nothing wrong with her injury.
On another occasion, Liu Min fell off a three-meter-high stage during a performance. for the convenience of video recording, the TV station covered a white gauze on the orchestra three meters deep in front of the stage, while the stage was covered with silver-gray carpets, all white in the light.
Liu Min did not know in advance that the place where there was light for her was the stage. she was completely devoted to the artistic conception of the dance, accidentally stepped on the white gauze, fell into the music pool and fainted on the spot.
When she woke up a few minutes later and saw people shaking in front of her and everyone calling an ambulance, she knew that she had fallen off the stage, her head hurt, her bones fell apart, and there was blood when she coughed.
In this case, she still insisted on playing and went to the hospital after the dance.
Now you know how hard Liu Min has worked. Her brilliant achievements in dance rely on this kind of hard work.
In her career, Liu Min is ruthless to herself and is a strong woman, but she is so gentle in life.
In the eyes of the students, Liu Min is a Yan teacher but also a loving mother. She is strict in her major, so there is no room for loss.
In life, she is famous for treating her students well, just like treating her own children. If there is any opportunity to perform abroad, she will bring them with her. Sometimes she will not even pay for her own performance, but give it all to students from poor families.
For the costumes and props to be used in some competition performances, she will also come forward to find sponsors to ease the financial pressure on students in all aspects as far as possible.
If she finds that some children can't afford to eat, she will subsidize them for free until they graduate. Students treat Liu Min as a "mother" and are willing to tell her everything they encounter, including emotional problems.
Liu Min can really be regarded as a perfect person, not only professional, loving mother, but also a good wife and daughter.
In the view of many people, a strong woman must be strong. Liu Min is so excellent, and she is also quite virtuous as a wife. The students said that every time Mr. Liu received a phone call in the rehearsal room, his voice became very gentle and he knew it was the teacher's call.
This is also Liu Min's criterion for marriage: the husband dotes on his wife, and the wife also cares for her husband.
This is the tacit understanding they have formed since their marriage. In addition, they have an agreement that they should not disturb each other at work and get along well in their spare time.
In fact, I am a very gentle person in my life. I take care of everything at home. I can cook delicious food, step on a sewing machine to make clothes, knit sweaters, and even buy every screw for decorating the house for myself. my husband doesn't even know the size of the clothes he wears.
When saying this, Liu Min's face is brimming with a happy smile, perhaps this is the real help each other, you spoil my love, go both ways.
Going back to the opening question, Liu Min also went to dance in both directions. From birth, she had a preference for dance. When she heard the music, she would move with the beat before she was comfortable. This is a gift for dance.
However, despite her parents' opposition to dancing, it was her choice.
In order to make this choice, she risked everything and was willing to be hard on herself. She broke her father's prejudice that dancing meant that she had no culture in the future. She graduated from Peking University as a graduate student and made such a high achievement in dancing. She visited more than 40 countries around the world and won honor for the Chinese dance industry.
Liu Min on the stage is amazing!
Back to life, she is also a wise woman, making her marriage and family management happy and warm.
