Biography of characters Meng Qingmin graduated from the Department of classical dance of Beijing Dance Academy. In 2009, he won the gold medal in the 9th "peach and plum cup" dance competition with his personal dance "the song of the king of Lanling entering the battle". In 2012, he joined China Oriental performing arts group and participated in CCTV Spring Festival gala for many times after 2015. Our reporter Han Xuan On April 24, after the last performance of the dance Poetry Drama "only this green" in Beijing, the audience enthusiastically shouted: "happy birthday, Meng Meng!" That day coincided with the 30th birthday of Meng Qingmin, a young dancer of China Oriental performing arts group who led the dance of "only green". As she was closing the curtain, tears swirled in her eyes. It is said that she stood in her thirties. In the year of turning 30, she received applause and flowers, as well as growth and transformation. Looking at Meng Qingmin's resume, you will feel that she has a smooth journey. When she was a child, she loved dancing. At the age of 9, she told her family that she would study in Beijing. Later, she was admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy and won the "peach and plum cup" and Beijing Dance Competition Awards. After graduation, she was admitted to China Oriental performing arts group, and later went to the Spring Festival Gala many times. In 2021, she received a new play - "only green". This time, Meng Qingmin's role is different from that in the past. The "green" in the play is not a character at all, not even a physical object, but a materialized image condensed from the green landscape. Under the careful guidance of Zhou Liya and Han Zhen, she tried to understand the emotional level of "Qinglv" and learn the expression of aesthetics in the Song Dynasty. Of course, there are many technical difficulties in this green only. For example, the "green waist" imitated and worshipped by the majority of netizens later. Although it also takes energy to train, compared with shaping the image, technical problems are not difficult for Meng Qingmin. In August 2021, "only this green" premiered in Beijing, and then opened the road of the first round of tour. Although "green" has been praised at this time, Meng Qingmin feels that she can further integrate into this role. Before each performance, Meng Qingmin dressed up and locked himself in the dressing room to calm his heart and sit quietly for a while. Suddenly one day, she found the feeling in the extremely quiet environment and immediately entered the "green" state, which is not only with the detachment of the painting soul of the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but also with the subtle state of human emotion. "There should be a sense of alienation between this character and the audience. When she is on the stage, she doesn't need to pay attention to how many audience there are. Today's audience is hot or not, just need to enjoy the" green " Meng Qingmin said that at that moment, she understood Qinglv, why she had been lonely for thousands of years, and still had that persistence. Looking back today, Meng Qingmin was able to shine at that moment. There are countless preparations and accumulation day and night behind him. From the start of rehearsal, Meng Qingmin began to learn the green landscape she didn't know before. After each stage, the director would also feed back questions to her, "when I stood on the stage the next day and thought about yesterday's problems again and again, I suddenly understood." Meng Qingmin said that art is accumulated over time. "It is like water in a cup. When it is filled to a certain extent, the container becomes full and people's emotions become full." This year's Spring Festival, "only this green" appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, spread across the north and south of the river through the live signal, and became popular overnight. At this time, Meng Qingmin was very calm. "This role has brought me changes and made me feel a lot more peaceful. This may be the power of traditional culture. Although I am busy every day, I will look at things calmly, which can be said to be vigorous and full of strength." The change of mood also changed Meng Qingmin's view of dance art. Before that, dancing was her profession and hobby. She was obsessed with dancing. She practiced from morning to night every day. Needless to say, she tried her best to stick to it when she was injured. She doesn't want to tell the media how hard she works and never takes the initiative to say how many injuries she has suffered. "I don't think it's meaningful to say this. Any dancer has injuries. These things are for yourself. As long as you stand on the stage, you must show everyone your best side." It was with this persistence that she came to the present step by step. With the popularity of "only this green", Meng Qingmin saw a lot of audiences because of her, because the play liked the green landscape and the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty. Intoxicated with traditional culture, her state of mind has changed. "In the past, dance was an integral part of my life, but now it carries a different meaning. I have more responsibility and mission on my shoulder. No matter what I do in the future, I should start from me and spread my strength to everyone." In his thirties, Meng Qingmin stood firmly on the stage this year. (outlook new era)
