Reporter Wang Peng
"Chengdu is like my hometown of Hsinchu, the climate is humid, the smell of food wafts in the air, as if you are back next to your childhood home." A few days ago, taiwanese singer QianBaihui was interviewed by a reporter from China News Network and talked about the reason why he settled in Chengdu. She said that the previous Thousand Hundred Hui has been "cleared" and came to live in the "Country of Heavenly Palace" to change places to "drink coffee", and she never regretted the choice she made.

From childhood to the mainland, the 1990 Asian Games concert became a turning point
In the 1980s, Qianbaihui became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Southeast Asia with songs such as "When I Miss You", "Walking Through the Coffee House", and "Smoke and Rain". Later, she went to Beijing to live, and faded out of the music scene because of taking care of her family. Until recently posted a mainland ID card on the Internet, saying that "the motherland is my strong dependence", the 58-year-old once again became the focus.
"It's been more than 20 years since I got my (mainland) ID card, and in fact, I just want to share my life when I post it." Sitting in front of the reporter, Qianbaihui had long hair and exquisite makeup. Talking about her fate with the mainland, she recalled her youth.
When she was in elementary school, Qianbaihui was familiar with the mainland in the geography class, and in the history class, she saw the colorful Forbidden City and the Great Wall for the first time, "I looked too spectacular, and then turned the page is the snow in Harbin in the northeast, it is simply beautiful, at that time I had the idea, I must go, I must go when I have the opportunity." ”
In 1990, Qianbaihui was invited to participate in the concert on the eve of the Beijing Asian Games, and finally had the opportunity to come to Beijing. That trip to Beijing also became a turning point in her life.
"When the plane was 20 minutes away from beijing, my heart was pounding." Qian Baihui recalled that as soon as he got off the plane, he jumped like a child, and after stepping on the airport highway, he felt even more shocked, "The airport highway is very large, very modern, and it is very different from what Taiwan told everyone." ”

The process of applying for a mainland ID card is tortuous and deliberately buy a ring to commemorate
Later, QianBaihui decided to settle in Beijing and applied for a mainland identity card. She recalled that the process of applying for a mainland identity card was very tortuous and waited for several years.
"I didn't hesitate or hesitate when I got my ID card, but I was very excited." After getting the ID card, Qianbaihui deliberately spent a lot of money to buy a ring to commemorate, "This is a testimony to my own inner history, a testimony to my life." ”
During the interview, Qianbaihui showed reporters the ring she still wears today- red, studded with small diamonds, very sparkling. It was also since then that Qianbaihui has never returned to Taiwan.

Because I miss my hometown, I have repeatedly sent messages to the moon on the seashore in Xiamen
Living in the mainland for nearly 30 years, her footprints have traveled to almost every province, "everywhere I went, I was impressed, I felt the different styles of each place, as well as culture, customs, and food." ”
In the mainland of the motherland, there are three places that impress Qianbaihui the most: Xiamen in Fujian, Karamay in Xinjiang, and Chengdu in Sichuan.
She grew up in Hsinchu and is across the sea from Xiamen. After settling in the mainland, because she missed her hometown, she often went to the seaside in Xiamen, and in the middle of the night, she went to the other side and sent a message to the moon. Because her mother once told her to look at the moon when she was homesick, "You look at the moon, and I look at the moon." ”
In Xinjiang, Qianbaihui witnessed the modernization of the remote areas of the motherland, "cotton picking is mechanized, Karamay is rich in resources, and the roadside is oil drilling machine." ”
After settling in the mainland, you have never returned to Taiwan, do you regret it? Qianbaihui's answer was categorical, "No regrets." She said her family was very supportive of her choice.
Qian Baihui recalled that before her mother died, she also had a two-hour WeChat phone call with her, and she was grateful for her mother's support for many years from the bottom of her heart.

Continue your musical life in Chengdu And communicate with young people with music
Because there is a Sichuan restaurant next to his home, Qianbaihui has had a very special affection for Chengdu since childhood. In March this year, Qianbaihui came to Chengdu to settle down and released a new song "Stay in Chengdu".
"Sichuan people eat spicy, the smell is very special, I walked on the street and smelled it, it was like coming home." QianBaihui said that life in Chengdu is leisure and comfortable, and he likes to walk around when he is free. Because of her mother's influence, she has always loved to drink coffee, "I have to drink a cup of coffee until now in the afternoon, taste coffee in different coffee houses in Chengdu, enjoy the scenery, see people, I feel very leisurely, especially relaxed." ”
At present, Qianbaihui is preparing for the first solo concert in many years, which is scheduled for January next year, "Music comes from life, I live in Chengdu, continue my music work, and I also hope that the current young people will know me." ”
After posting his mainland IDENTITY card this time, Qianbaihui has received a large number of netizens' attention. She said that she wants to use music to tell the real world of young people in Taiwan, "Only music can move people, because music comes from life." ”
"In fact, I have 'cleared' the thousands of benefits before, and I cherish it now, and it is indeed a gift to receive so much attention." As for some Taiwan netizens "sourly" saying "do not know her", QianBaihui told the China News Network reporter, "I think we must make them sour, sour in the mouth to the stomach, let him remember that they are Chinese." ”
She also said bluntly that in the future, she will continue to live in Chengdu and contribute to the construction of Chengdu into a "city of music". (End)
