Mui Yanfang, as its name suggests, is indeed as beautiful and moving as plum blossoms, but it is fleeting like fireworks, and her short 40 years in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have left an indelible legend.
Mei Yanfang's birth is not high, so what can she rely on to become a queen of entertainment songs? Even if it is still the ceiling of the current entertainment industry, why did she who loved Andy Lau so much in the end not stay together?
In order to remember Ah Mei, Andy Lau also sang "The Afterlife" at the concert, singing and singing, he knelt on his knees and even shed tears, which caused the audience to cry.
She is Zhang Guorong's lifelong confidante, but also the love of Zhao Wenzhuo's life, and even affectionately praised by the Hong Kong media as "Hong Kong's daughter", why is it that such a strange woman who is loved by thousands of people has a tragic life, and after her death, she was also sucked by her own mother?
Later Zhao Wenzhuo also mentioned Mei Yanfang in the show, and he only said eight words: "Love in this life, all the way good!"
Zhao Wenzhuo's wife was also at the scene, and she not only did not "eat jealousy" but also moved to tears.
01
Many people know that although Mui Yanfang has a high status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, her childhood and family are her eternal pain.
Mui yanfang was born in 1963 in a poor family in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, before her mother gave birth to two older brothers and an older sister.
Mei Yanfang's father was absent when she was very young, so her mother maintained the family's livelihood in the song and dance troupe.
When she was young, Mei Yanfang and her sister Mei Aifang performed on stage every day, but the little child revealed the cleverness and talent that was different from the same year.
Young Mei Yanfang said to her mother: "Mom, I really like to sing, you see those people jumping around on the stage, it's so beautiful!"
And the mother also discovered Mei Yanfang's stage talent early, and the little one bloomed on the stage with a different brilliance, which deeply grasped the attention of the audience.
Unlike other mothers, other mothers may be to respect their daughter's hobbies, while Mei Yanfang's mother is only to make money for her.
From small to large, her stage performance made Mei Yanfang's stage performance more and more excellent, so later when she first appeared on the regular stage at the age of 19, she won the championship of the rookie singing competition in one fell swoop.
The unique voice and natural singing voice make Mei Yanfang a memory of generations and an eternal dream in her heart.
After winning the championship, Mei Yanfang quickly released her first album "Heart Debt" in the same year, which was well received by most of the industry as soon as it was released.
Mei Yanfang hit the iron while it was hot, and the next year released "Red Mei Yanfang", which added her own name, and this song won the platinum record at once, so that almost everyone in that era could sing.
The "Mui Yanfang" album released in 1985 directly made her a real big star, and also made her gradually step by step towards the peak of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Mei Yanfang's lifelong career is successful and forever peak, a total of 292 concerts, so that she in the same period of singers directly canonized, becoming a well-deserved queen of heavenly kings!
What is admirable is that Mei Yanfang is not only an eternal god in the music world, but also one of the best in the film world.
I can also say without hesitation, who now has not seen Mei Yanfang's movies in childhood?
The obsessive female ghost of "Rouge Buckle", the silly Chu Wang in "Zhong Wuyan", and the Virgo movie "Fate" directly won the Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
In the face of these excellent awards, Mei Yanfang is also shallow: "The most important thing is to be happy, as long as I can bloom on the stage, I am very satisfied!"
02
Mei Yanfang in her career is undoubtedly quite successful, but in the face of feelings, she is always a "loser", every time she is sincere, this time she is lost.
Mei Yanfang and Zhao Wenzhuo's acquaintance came from the introduction of his brother Zhang Guorong, who was young and handsome at that time, and the sunshine of young people was emitted in his bones.
This deeply attracted Mei Yanfang, and the beautiful and moving Mei Yanfang also deeply attracted Zhao Wenzhuo.
The two people whose appearance and personality are perfectly matched are naturally talented and female, and after becoming lovers, the relationship between the two people is becoming closer and closer.
Although the two people are nine years apart, it does not affect the occurrence of love in the slightest, and the two people who are immersed in love originally thought that after announcing their relationship, they would receive a wave of blessings.
What they did not expect was that what they received was not a blessing but a large wave of public opinion that was not optimistic, and for a while there was any remark on the Internet.
At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo had just entered the entertainment circle, and he felt a lot of pressure when he saw various doubts on the Internet.
Mei Yanfang reassured him: "Don't look at those words, as long as the two of us are fine."
What men in love are most eager to be affirmed by their lovers, and Zhao Wenzhuo, who has been affirmed, is even more determined to have feelings for Mei Yanfang.
He tightly held Mei Yanfang's hand and kissed Mei Yanfang's forehead: "I want to be with you forever, I want to hold your hand forever!"
Against the backdrop of the night, the couple's shadows are elongated and intertwined.
I thought it was really a destiny destined by heaven, but I didn't expect that an accident had occurred.
At a party, a friend suddenly asked Zhao Wenzhuo with ill will: "When will you marry Ah Mei?"
Zhao Wenzhuo blushed a little, then replied seriously, "I want to make a little more money and propose to her when I have the ability, so that I can also guarantee her."
And the friend seemed to lack heart, and directly ridiculed: "Why do you make money?" Anyway, Ame is very rich! Let her raise you is not good hahaha!"
This sentence directly became the fuse for the relationship between the two people to be close to breaking, and at this time, Zhao Wenzhuo accidentally spread a scandal with a Hong Kong actress, which was even worse for Mui Yanfang.
However, this was a misunderstanding, but no matter how Zhao Wenzhuo explained it, Mei Yanfang did not believe it, and this unforgettable love ended.

"3811, I'm waiting for you in the old place, like a flower."
——Chen Shishishao, "Rouge Buckle"
It has to be mentioned that Mei Yanfang's heterosexual relationship is indeed very good, and many cooperations between Zhang Guorong have also made the two people become lifelong confidants.
The two often joined in movies and concerts, and were called "Fanghua Peerless" by the media at the time.
Some media once asked Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang: "You two have such a good relationship, do you like each other?"
Zhang Guorong, on the other hand, said with a smile: "The feelings of the two of us are indeed as confusing as you see, and I can't say anything to her, but I know that we will definitely not become lovers."
Different interviews, but the same tacit understanding, Mei Yanfang has also answered the media like this: "Of course, we will not become lovers, we are just good friends and brothers and sisters!"
The two first met, first collaborated in the movie "Fate", and later became friends in the movie "Rouge Buckle".
In the play of "Rouge Buckle", Ruhua, played by Mei Yanfang, left Chen Twelve Shao, played by Zhang Guorong.
Outside the play, it was Chen Twelve Shao who left Ruhua first, whether it was in the play or outside the play, the cooperation between the two people was very tacit, "fate" was there, but the "point" was still so bad.
The last cooperation between the two people was at Mei Yanfang's concert in 2002, the last time the two people cooperated, and it was the last time that his brother Zhang Guorong performed on stage, and since then he has been separated forever, and it is regrettable until now.
One died on April Fool's Day in 2003 and the other at the end of December 2003, the same year Hong Kong lost two superstars, and the sun seemed to dim on both days.
And I sighed that the twelve teenagers and Ruhua were finally reunited in another way, and they sang the out-of-print Fanghua in another world.

If you say that the two most important men in Mei Yanfang's emotional career, one of them is Zhao Wenzhuo, then the other must be Andy Lau.
Although the two people have a half-lifelong love affair, they can only stop at the word friend for the rest of their lives.
The meeting between the two people was the third Hong Kong Rookie Competition, that year Hua Tsai was the emcee, Ah Mei was the guest, and the two people were accompanied by ups and downs for 20 years.
Mei Yanfang's feelings for Andy Lau are undoubtedly deep, and she even said in the 1991 program that "marry Andy Lau", and the affection contained in this is clear at a glance.
Andy Lau replied, "The two of us are just very good friends!" Ame is a very nice girl! ”
After getting this answer, Mei Yanfang later said on the show that the two people are just pure friends, and she does not want this friendship to disappear because of this.
Later, after Mei Yanfang got cervical cancer, she only told Andy Lau alone, and Andy Lau also accompanied Mei Yanfang until the last moment of her life.
In the final concert, Mei Yanfang put on the wedding dress and married the fans as she wished, and she thought of her own stage at the last moment of her life, and bid farewell to everyone with the most beautiful gesture.
Andy Lau also held a concert after the death of his best friend, and when he sang "The Afterlife", he could no longer help but cry, and his heart was also eager to have an afterlife with Mei Yanfang.
If Mei Yanfang died in the love of fans and friends, it is that for her family, the cash cow is gone.
How many years after Mei Yanfang's death, her mother pestered her inheritance for many years, how much her mother favored her brother, how selfish she was to Mei Yanfang.
In order to be able to get benefits, her mother did not hesitate to squeeze the last drop of Mei Yanfang's blood, and home should have been a harbor that people could rely on, but for Mei Yanfang, it was a magic cave that could not escape.
To this day, her mother has opened a restaurant next to the Mei Yanfang Memorial Hall in order to use Mei Yanfang's popularity to make money. Obviously, they are all their own children, but Mei's mother has made Mei Yanfang uneasy after her death.
Until recently, the 97-year-old Mei Mu was hospitalized, but her habitual son no longer served her, and she did not know whether she could remember the daughter who was once filial piety lying in the hospital.
Zhao Wenzhuo, who is nearly fifty years old, also appeared on the program "Brother Who Cut Through Thorns" this year, he is still handsome in the program, and he has already harvested his own happy family outside the program, and the family of three is happy and harmonious.
Andy Lau has also always put his acting career in the first place, and this year has released a number of movies in a row, although Hua Ge's face is no longer what it was then, but the love for the cause and the firm eyes are still the same.
Now it has been nearly 18 years since Mei Yanfang's death, and films based on Mei Yanfang have also been released, allowing us to see Mei Yanfang's life more closely.
This tragic "woman flower" has never gone far in our memories, and the famous writer Li Bihua once said: "She left in the prime of her life, even if it is another ten years and a hundred years, it is because there is no other Mei Yanfang."
Her life was full of disasters and hardships, she was not loved by her family in her childhood, and she was terminally ill in her prime.
Although her life was short and tragic, she lived a different magnificent and splendid life.
Even at the end of his life, he left the most beautiful shadow on the stage and left it in the hearts of fans.
The most important thing in a person's life is regret, but this is not a relief for Ame.
