    Li Qianghua was born in 1929. At the age of 9, he began to study Peking Opera Lao Sheng, Lao Dan, Hua Dan, Dao Ma Dan, etc. At the age of 12, he was deeply attracted by the artistic charm of Cheng Yanqiu, the four famous Peking Opera actors. At the age of 19, he chose a troupe to sing alone, and became a leader among the second-generation private descendants of the Cheng School of Peking Opera. Her "Suo Lin Sac", "Second Hall House Son", "Dream of a Spring Boudoir", "The Mirror of the Dead Shu" and "The Vermillion Mark" are all well-known in the field of opera.
    As a generation of famous Peking Opera stars, Li Qianghua and Jingkun master Yu Zhenfei's emotional life together in their later years has also become a good story in the Liyuan world. Since 1980, she has been married to Yu Zhenfei under the help of friends. Since then, she has officially come to Shanghai from Wuhan to teach opera at the Shanghai Opera School and also participate in public performances. Before her, Li Qianghua had a 25-year marriage with Guan Zhengming, a famous Peking Opera master, and Guan Dongtian, a famous Peking Opera veteran today, is the son of the two.
    Yu Zhenfei is a master of Jingkun Xiaosheng performing arts and the first principal of the Shanghai Opera School. As a direct disciple of Yu Zhenfei, the 81-year-old Kunqu Opera performing artist Cai Zhengren has been affectionately addressing Li Qianghua as his wife. When he learned of Li Qianghua's death, Cai Zhengren couldn't help but recall many past events. Among them, Teacher Li Qianghua is my most respected and admired teacher. I have always believed that Teacher Qianghua's Cheng style is the most standardized and authentic in both singing and body." Cai Zhengren deeply admires Li Qianghua and Yu Zhenfei for their mutual love and help in art and life, "I have repeatedly said to Mr. Yu with envious feelings: 'Teacher, you are really happy in your later years. Teacher Qianghua's meticulous care and care for you is really hard to buy!' When the teacher heard this, she always nodded and smiled: 'This is fate!'"
    "Because of Mr. Qianghua, Mr. Yu lived a happy and nourishing later years. It can be said that in Mr. Yu's life, the most satisfying, happy, comfortable and happy days for the elderly were with Mrs. Qianghua. I have lived for more than ten years. Teacher Qianghua also loves Mr. Yu wholeheartedly." Cai Zhengren said that the affection of the two of them is a model for our younger generation.
    Senior media person and broadcaster Qin Lailai has been with Yu Zhenfei and Li Qianghua a lot since 1984. He said, "The two elders are amiable, gentle and elegant, tell me about their combination, about the past of Yu Lao's learning and art, about the past with Master Cheng Yanqiu, and about the past with Mr. Mei Lanfang..."
    After learning of Li Qianghua's death, he found a recording of Yu Zhenfei talking about Li Qianghua's emotional life, and said with emotion, "I deeply feel that thanks to Mr. Li Qianghua's dedication, Mr. Yu Zhenfei's later glory has been reborn! Not only that, She has also made a great contribution to the inheritance of the Peking Opera Cheng School. Mr. Li Qianghua has contributed greatly to continuing the art of Beijing and Kunming!"
    In this interview recording, Yu Zhenfei sighed when talking about Li Qianghua, "Actually, we have known each other for a long time and got married in 1980. She happened to be a singer of Chengpai. I used to like Chengpai plays. I have been working with Cheng Yanqiu all my life. Mr. Mei came later, so the two of us can talk about one thing, and we can chat for a long time. It seems to me that there is an unusual kind of relationship between husband and wife. "
    Yu Zhenfei also sincerely expressed that she feels warm to her family, "She is very concerned about everything I eat, wear, and wear. She seems to be so-so, but she is always the first thing about me, and she wants to make my life better. A little bit, so my mental state will be different. So friends say that I am getting younger and younger, I think family problems are a big relationship. We have not had a blushing face for many years since 1980. " As the successor of Yu Zhenfei's Kunqu Opera niche art, and also a student of Cai Zhengren, Zhang Jun, who is now the principal of the Shanghai Opera School, has deep ties to Yu Zhenfei and Li Qianghua in all aspects. Since he was a child, he has followed his teacher to visit Yu's hometown. He often sees Li Qianghua, and often gets her encouragement and encouragement. Over the years, because of his cooperation with Guan Dongtian on "Spring River Flower Moon Night", he often visits the familiar "Grandma Li". On the evening of May 12, he received a call from Guan Dongtian and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, but he still failed to see Li Qianghua for the last time. For this reason, Zhang Jun's voice sounded sad.
    Zhang Jun said that in recent years, because of inconvenient legs and feet, Grandma Li spoke less when meeting each other, "but every time she told her about some of the plays we were doing, she always praised, encouraged and encouraged her. At that time, we went to visit Grandma Li, and we had tea and chat with her for a while. It was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and I told her that this year is to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Mr. Yu Zhenfei's birth. A commemorative performance was held on the No. 1. Many of our younger generation rookies are going to perform on the stage, passing on the spirit of Yu Lao and art, I think this is also the best consolation for Yu Lao. I was very impressed at that time. There was a gleam in his eyes, and then he turned his eyes to me, as well as several principals who went with me, their eyes were very energetic, very firm, and they praised us very much. But I am really sorry and sad now, grandma again There is no chance to sit in the audience and see this."
