On February 13, 2012, just one day before Valentine's Day, all the radio stations were repeating an obituary: the famous musician Feng Feifei passed away. His lawyer said that the exact date of her death was January 3, and according to her last wishes, in order not to affect the majority of fans to celebrate the New Year, the news of her death was announced after the first month.
This is a low-key woman, a woman who has to take care of the feelings of her loved ones even after death. Such a low-key survival of 60 years old, for fans, for husbands, for children, only rarely see her for herself, even death is only a bland explanation to people, a person who has nothing to do with another world by a window, make a pot of tea, do not care how old the moss in those days of wind and rain, just want to accompany the husband who has taken a step ahead in those days, watch the sunset smoke.
Everyone is afraid of getting old, but for all the propositions of life or death, she has long been open and put down.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the only one who could really be called "Queen of Songs" except Teresa Teng was Feng Feifei, and even the famous Cai Qin could not shake the status of these two people. Both Shengyu and He Shengliang, Feng Feifei's aura was always topped by Teresa Teng. Teresa teng was only seven months older than her, but Teresa became famous for her warm and sweet singing voice as early as 1962, and began to perform with the "93 Kang Band", in 1963 she had already won the "China Radio" Huangmei Tune Song Contest, in 1966 "Cai Hong Ling" won the Golden Horse Award; in September 1967, she released her first record "The First Episode of Teresa Teng's Song - Fengyang Flower Drum" and officially began her professional singing career. Until 1970, Feng Feifei could only sing in the dance halls such as the Taipei Yunhai Hotel, Zhen Shan Mei, and Xiao Qilin and so on, and in 1971, he was fortunate enough to release his first single.
In those days, she went to school during the day, did handicrafts at night, went to the song hall on weekends to sing, and in order to save travel expenses, she had to walk for several hours a day between the various song halls, and dinner and supper were combined into one, and the content was mostly white water bubble rice.
Feng Feifei, who was born in Daxi, Taiwan, could not distinguish between flat tongue and tongue tone, which greatly reduced his pitch, although he was also a student of Liu Jiachang, Teresa Teng's pronunciation was almost impeccable. Therefore, when Teresa Teng sang everywhere, Feng Feifei still hid at home and practiced pronunciation. Needless to say, the reporter interviewed Liu Jiachang and asked him, "Who among your students is the hardest?" I thought that the answer should be "Teresa Teng", but what the reporters heard was "Feng Feifei". Therefore, when the residents of Daxi saw Feng Feifei in his fifties and still running in the morning, it was not surprising why Liu Jiachang was deeply impressed by Feng Feifei's love.
Under such hard work, there is no need for a left award and a right award to flaunt the success of Feng Feifei. In 1971, after starring in the TV series "Yan Shuangfei", her debut album was brilliantly launched the following year, "Wishing You Happiness" became a hit, "Send you a gift of love, I wish you happiness, no matter when you are, or wherever, do not forget my blessings." The journey of life has both sweet and bitter, to have a strong will, to exert your wisdom, to leave your beads of sweat, to create your happiness. ”
She began to host, sing, won almost all the cheers and applause of the Chinese world, people's pursuit of her to the point of no return, the record company invited dozens of songwriters to tailor new songs specifically for her to meet the fans' continuous demand for Feng's records, she had to produce a new album at least every two months for four or five years, otherwise the record company would be thrown eggs by the media and fans, the hottest October 1976, she had to produce an average of one record every three days. The record company is also happy to be thrown eggs by fans, because the records signed by Feng Feifei, no matter how many copies are produced, do not worry about selling.
However, in 1980, Feng Feifei, who was in the limelight, suddenly put away Mike and quietly retreated.
Of course it's because of love.
Zhao Hongqi is fourteen years older than Feng Feifei, although divorced, but Feng Feifei's mother said after seeing Zhao Hongqi, daughter, you hurry up and marry him, this man is reliable. When they first met, Zhao Hongqi did not bring flowers, let alone diamond ring jewelry, he just took Feng Feifei's hand and said, "I have seen many of your concerts, I know you have your career." I don't ask you to cook, I just want to see you when I get home. ”
Feng Feifei threw away all the contracts of the record companies and began the life of a housewife who was facing the godson of the Kai Xiang husband. Occasionally, when a reporter visits, she smiles. "I'm not Feng Feifei, please call me Mrs. Zhao." He went to the vegetable market and hawkers to negotiate prices, drove her children to school in a Ford, and she pressed the cooker button as skillfully as if she were picking up a microphone. A lot of people say. "It's a pity that you could have been red for another twenty years." And she smiled slightly. "I promised him that every day when he came home, I would open the door for him." She also practices singing, and even when she is cooking with a shovel, she does not look forward to putting a song book next to her. She would sing in front of the mirror, and there seemed to be a flashing spotlight around her. Zhao Hongqi said that she was often heard singing in her dreams, and when the day dawned, she woke up in his arms and smiled in the face of his inquiry. "I didn't say I regretted it. Although I faded out, I did not retreat, and the whole meaning of fading out was not to be a good wife and mother with red sleeves, and I pursued the completeness and happiness of the process that belonged only to me. Saying goodbye at the peak requires not just avoidance of Vanity Fair, but a new life and the joy of belonging to a little woman. ”
In 2003, Zhao Hongqi's company went bankrupt and its main source of income was cut off. Feng Feifei picked up her mood and signed a seven-year contract with the agency, and the tour was named "Debut 35 Years World Tour". The first piece of music for the first performance was her famous work "Applause Sound" of that year, and people found that after saying goodbye to the stage for many years, her noise was not only not distorted and jerky, but more pure, and the new interpretation was contaminated with too much of the taste of life.
Before the singing, she cried for three hours, silently sobbing.
Zhao Hongqi also handed over the company's relevant aftercare and profit sharing to his ex-wife and son, accompanied Feng Fei to fly around the world every day, called her coffee, prepared mikes, and made chrysanthemum tea. And when the reporters asked him if he needed his wife to come out to earn money because the company was bankrupt, Zhao Hongqi also began to smile fengfeifei. "You know, before she signed up, I just bought a supermarket. We could have stayed at this small supermarket and lived until we were old. It's just that she still likes to sing, do you know how many times she wakes up from a dream? She sings, and I can't open a supermarket because I want to pester her and simply be with her at any time. ”
In this way, he accompanied Feng Feifei for six years, and every time he performed, Feng Feifei would invite his husband to sing the song "Spring Wind Kissed My Face" at the end of the concert:
She kissed me in the spring
Tell me it's spring
Although it is infinitely better than spring light
I'm just afraid that the spring light will grow old in front of me
Take advantage of this spring color in the human world
Meet you early in the morning with Spring
Let the spring breeze blow to me
In the spring, there are flowers everywhere
Don't let that flower thank you year after year
……
Until 2009, only about a year before Feng Feifei's seven years, Zhao Hongqi was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Feng Feifei immediately terminated the tour with only ten shows left, and spent the whole day with her husband. After paying a huge liquidated damages, her husband died in September, and Feng Feifei released her latest single "Want to Fly with You" in October:
I still want to embrace this unfinished fate
Looking back, I see the imperfections of life
Do you need someone to accompany you there?
Can you receive my thoughts?
Want to fly with you
The ends of the earth are not tired no matter how far away they are
So, fly. A year later, Feng Feifei was also diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, the same as her husband's illness. On January 3, 2012, In Hong Kong, Feng Feifei ushered in the last morning of his life. When he left, he was surrounded by only his mother and agent, as well as a lawyer who was witnessing.
Her last words were, "In my life, because I have held hands with him for 30 years, I can experience all the joys of being with him, which is all that can be felt in the concept of a woman's happiness." I am happy because my love affair and mine are wonderful enough. I haven't had time to sing a song in my life, and in the next life, I will come back and sing it to you. ”
In the funeral procession, someone was singing the song "Knowing":
As the night slowly rises, thoughts rise again
Yesterday's friends will never be lost
Save good memories We are together again
Familiar faces are never separated
Once laughed, once silently remembered
Growing up with you and me
Since 1994, Feng Feifei and her husbands in Guangxi and Shandong have donated nearly one million yuan to establish Hope Primary School.
If you are careful enough, you will find that Feng Feifei will always wear a colorful hat as long as he is on the stage. In Taiwan, people who remember the name Feng Feifei must not be as many as the name "Hat Song Queen", because the hat is so cute, like Feng Feifei's whole life, plump, bright, and simple and quiet. Some say that wearing a hat suppresses the view, but also prevents the audience from appreciating her sweet face. And Feng Feifei has her unique explanation: the hat allows me to look at it at any time without too much pride, so that I can communicate with the audience at ease, and I can always sit in the first row of the audience. At the age of 25, her diary contains the following sentence: "I have never deliberately added a few dazzling colors to the canvas of life." Feng Feifei, wearing a hat, is content to enjoy all the tribulations and luck that God has brought her, low-key and not ostentatious, simple like a bouquet of dark incense flowers, never eye-catching, but also always fragrant.
In her hometown of Taoyuan Daxi, fo guang shan pagoda temple, there is a small cemetery, which has a couple who are in love with each other, the hostess, called Feng Feifei, people still remember, her real name, called Lin Qiuluan.
Feng Feifei is a famous Taiwanese singer, variety show host, and philanthropist. Along with Teresa Teng and Liu Wenzheng, she was the most famous female singer in Taiwan in the 1970s, and was awarded the title of "Most Popular Female Singer", and her works "Ukiyo Feelings" and "Want to Play the Same Tune" were selected as the world's top 100 Chinese records. Because every time she appears on the stage, she always wears a variety of hats, known as "Hat Song Queen", her singing voice is popular all over Taiwan, and even places where there are Chinese people around the world also call her "Treasure Island Song Queen". "Dream Chaser" is regarded by fans as a classic of the times, and public opinion says that Feng Feifei's life is the evolutionary history and museum of Taiwan's local songs.
He died of lung cancer in Hong Kong on 3 January 2012 at the age of 59.
