Growing up, the boy who lived on Fort Street in North Point grew up listening to the stereo.
It was Hong Kong in 1962, and when Du Was born, his father was the band's foreman and drummer.
His father was Filipino, so Du Dewei was a mixed-race child.
Her mother, Zhang Lu, was a singer at the time.
Du Dewei grew up under the influence of music since childhood.
His parents' income is above the middle class, coupled with Du's father's good at business, Du Dewei has not suffered any hardships since he was a child.
In his freshman year of high school, he also formed a band with his classmates called Sidewalk.
Du Dewei served as lead singer and lead guitarist in the band.
So in his body, music has not been a dream since childhood.
Rather, like eating and drinking Lazarus, it is almost a natural thing.
Because he was too focused on singing and music, his cultural classes were a mess.
However, in the field of music, there are some achievements.
The year after the band formed, he won the folk song competition at the school.
Immediately after, he won the inter-school music festival folk song duet title.
At that time, TVB hosted an amateur singing contest.
Du Dewei participated in the first and second editions of the competition.
Competing with him for the championship is Zhou Huajian, who also tests his edge in music.
Two people met because of a competition.
But at this time, Du Dewei's family changed.
Because of successive failures in investment, the family road began to fall.
Without more time to spend with music, he had to work odd jobs after school.
In 1980, 18-year-old Du Dewei crossed the ocean and followed his family to Ottawa.
In Canada, he attended a predominantly black high school.
During this period, he still worked half-time and studied half-time, and tried all kinds of temporary jobs.
However, in his spare time, he still thinks about singing.
So he soon formed a new song and dance troupe with his black classmates and went to various places to participate in performances.
This in fact inadvertently broadened Du Dewei's musical style.
In college, he studied advertising design at the Toronto Institute of Technology.
Professionalism and hobbies had nothing to do with it, and he didn't know if he would be able to sing again in the future.
In 1984, he saw on television that the third amateur singing competition hosted by TVB had begun again.
It's just that by then it had been renamed the Rookie Singing Competition.
He, a former rookie, is still like standing on that stage and singing.
In 1985, after graduating, Du Dewei returned to Hong Kong, where he returned with a fiery dream.
He first got a job at a company that matched his profession.
Then, without hesitation, he signed up for the 4th Rookie Singing Contest.
The organizers are TVB and Huaxing Records, if he can win the championship in one fell swoop, he will not waste his love of music for so many years.
Fortunately, that year's Du Dewei seemed to be a lucky star.
He successfully won the gold medal in the rookie singing competition.
After winning the championship, Huaxing Records signed him for a period of 8 years.
TVB also signed him to a 5-year contract.
In this way, an unknown poor student gained fame and fortune in Hong Kong almost overnight.
Du Dewei was 23 years old that year.
That advertising design related job, Du Dewei estimated that he had not gone to work for a day.
He was born for music and singing.
In 1985, Du Dewei also met his first girlfriend, Tang Liqiu.
This girl who came out of Tsim Sha Tsui was two years younger than Du Dewei and was a tvb signed artist a year ago.
When she was still in high school, through the relationship between her classmates and relatives, Tang Liqiu joined the Shi Luhua Modeling Center.
So she didn't go to college and quickly became an advertising model.
In 1984, on the recommendation of the company, Tang Liqiu participated in the miss Hong Kong contest and successfully won the second runner-up.
Since then, she has had the nickname "Bobo".
In the same year, because the current Miss Hong Kong Ma Qianheng was overaged,
Tang Liqiu took her place in the Miss World contest held in the United Kingdom.
After competing, she became a contracted artist for TVB.
So in fact, she became famous a year before Du Dewei.
Due to the similar age and the same UNDER THE TVB door, it is actually not surprising that two people are dragging.
The year after his fame, Du Dewei's first album "Huaxing Rookie New Rhythm" was released.
In April 1987, his first album "Just Want to Stay" was released in the true sense of the word.
At this time, he and his girlfriend Tang Liqiu's racket dragged to an end.
However, this relationship, which only lasted for two years, has not been publicly acknowledged by the parties from beginning to end.
At this time, Wu Junru, who won the Best Newcomer Award with "Overlord Flower", can be regarded as officially entering Du Dewei's emotional life.
The reason why this love between the two people is unforgettable is because it has been as long as 8 years.
Wu Junru once mentioned in her autobiography that Du Dewei was the first love of her life.
At this time, Du Dewei's career can be described as prosperous, while hosting the entertainment program "Point Solution is Funny" on TVB.
On the other hand, it launched its first Mandarin album "Talking About Love" in Taiwan.
In 1991, Du Dewei officially joined Warner Records.
Even Xiao S later said bluntly that he was super fan Du Dewei at that time.
Naturally, as a formal girlfriend, Wu Junru is also very concerned about her boyfriend's feelings.
Wu Junru later blew himself up and went to tell her own fortune, and the fortune teller told her that the fatter she was, the more red she became.
So she began to gain weight desperately.
But it is clear that he has to take care of Du Dewei's feelings in doing so.
After all, boyfriends definitely care about their appearance.
Who knows that Du Dewei is very good at talking, he said that his girlfriend is not fat, but baby fat.
However, this "good man"-style commitment did not last forever.
Soon, this relationship, which was optimistic about the outside world, ended after a marathon long run.
Some people say that it is because Du split his legs, and some people say that Du dislikes Wu Junru and often takes some clowns and can't stand it.
In short, there are many opinions, and there is no consensus.
But even after two people break up, it is still common to see two people often together.
In 2006, Wu Junru hosted a food show to shoot on location in Taiwan, and then it was found that Du Dewei was also present.
At that time, Wu Junru had already combined with Chen Kexin, and the two of them had a daughter.
Former lovers hug each other affectionately as soon as they meet, and sit together and talk and laugh.
Wu Junru also showed Du Dewei the photo album he had brought with him.
And Du Dewei did not shy away from using his hands to wipe the foam left in the corner of Wu Junru's mouth because of drinking Coke.
This can't help but make the reporters at the scene ask whether they have "reported" to Chen Kexin when they met with Du Dewei?
Wu Junru hurriedly dropped it: "Alas! Don't do it! "Just jumped into the taxi and left."
Afterwards, Du Dewei's agent also admitted that the two had not seen each other for many years, and this meeting was purely a recounting of the past.
In 2008, in the "Zhiyun Dinner Bureau" program, some insider information was exposed when Du Dewei and Wu Junru first broke up.
On Christmas Day 1992, Wu Junru flew from Hong Kong to Taiwan to celebrate the holiday with her boyfriend.
Who knew that just after entering the hotel where Du Dewei was staying, he found that there was another woman in the house.
However, Wu Junru said that there was no drama of catching J in bed, but at that time, it was indeed known that there was a third party.
It's just that he is not dead hearted, and after knowing the truth, Wu Junru will strive to lose weight.
Perhaps for Wu Junru, this account should be counted on the head of the fortune teller.
But no matter what the emotional entanglement, after breaking up with Wu Junru, Du Dewei did quickly find a new love.
Du Dewei later found another new name, Zhou Wenkui, who was also a model.
When he dragged with Du, Zhou Wenkui was in his early twenties, 12 years younger than Du Dewei.
During this period, Du Dewei held a concert in Taipei in 2000, "Change 2000 and You Fly".
In 2001, he won the Best Male Singer Award on the Chinese Original Music Pop Chart.
The song "Rainbow" won the Golden Melody Award of the General Selection of China's Original Music Pop Chart.
But a controversy and turmoil are also quietly descending.
On December 25, 2002, Du Dewei was found to be hiding poison in a private bar room on Wong Ni Chung Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong.
During the search, police seized a cigarette from his pocket containing 0.13 grams of marijuana.
Du Dewei was then tested for urine and found no signs of smoking.
Mr. Toh said the cigarette had been given to him, but the Eastern District Court of Hong Kong held mr. To's defense invalid.
The incident quickly caused an uproar.
Ironically, Du Dewei also publicly issued an "anti-drug declaration" that year.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2002, and Du Dewei went to Xi'an to participate in an event.
At that time, another singer, Su Yongkang, was arrested on suspicion of drug abuse.
When Du Dewei debuted in 1985, in the rookie singing competition, he compared Su Yongkang with several other contestants.
So during his time in Xi'an, a reporter asked what he thought about the drug use of public figures.
At that time, Du Dewei also said that artists as public figures,
Behavior must be checked, but also for their fans to set a good example, do not be a bad example.
Less than half a year later, Du Dewei personally punched himself in the face.
Moreover, because of the drug storm, his affair with his girlfriend Zhou Wenkun was also yellow.
In 2003, Du Dewei was convicted of drug possession, and was not only fined 4,000 yuan, but also left a case file.
Afterwards, Du Dewei's lawyer said,
Du Dewei is no longer the popular singer of the year, and the annual salary of the company signed during the Drug Storm is only two million.
The storm will not only make him lose his contract, but also face the situation of being claimed by the endorsed brand.
On the day of the court ruling, Du Dewei's girlfriend Zhou Wenkui was far away in Europe.
Subsequently, the news of Du Dewei and Zhou Wenkui's breakup was boiling over.
There is even news that Du Dewei was found to be a drug by the police.
In the six months of waiting for the court's ruling, Zhou Wenkun has long since transferred his feelings and parted ways.
So much so that Du Dewei can only complain to his friends, but in front of the media, he can only hold on to it and not admit it.
In November 2003, Zhou Wenkui completely broke with Du Dewei.
At that time, while Du Dewei was working in Taiwan, Zhou Wenkui moved all his personal belongings out of Du Dewei's residence.
Originally, Du Dewei also said that he would soon marry Zhou Wenkun.
However, when he returned to Hong Kong from Taiwan, he found that his girlfriend had long since moved away.
Du Dewei finally had a good taste of Wu Junru's feelings at that time.
In 2004, Du Dewei released a new album "Take Off", but the effect was mediocre.
At this time, his girlfriend ran away, and the drug storm also caused him to lose many contracts.
Du Dewei had to sell his mansion in Dakeng and rent his own house.
Fortunately, when he was a child, Du Dewei felt the taste of falling in the middle of the family road
For the low points of life he faced, he did not stumble.
Without a contract, he took the initiative to find opportunities on his own, and even if the remuneration was low, he was willing to take over the work.
It was in the trough of his life that he met Li Xiaobing.
It was 2009, and we met over a co-production documentary that paid tribute to Michael Jackson.
Li Xiaobing, who works as a short film director and cinematographer, is exactly 24 years younger than Du Dewei.
She liked Du Dewei's songs and even had a cult toward him.
Therefore, when the two people chose to be together, Li Xiaobing did not care about Du Dewei's past.
However, the elders in the family have a different view.
In particular, Li Xiaobing's parents strongly oppose the two people's interaction.
After all, a daughter can't find someone a year older than herself to be her boyfriend and husband.
However, the obstruction of the family did not interfere with the love between the two people.
In the three years of love,
Du Dewei not only obeyed Li's parents, but also bought a house and a car again for the future of the two people.
Gradually, Li's parents discovered that Du Dewei really wanted to be with their daughter, and finally chose to approve.
On November 11, 2012, 50-year-old Du Dewei finally entered the palace of marriage.
The wedding reception for the two was held at the Deep Bay Yacht Club in Hong Kong.
At 11:00 a.m. on the same day, groom Du Dewei was in the groomsmen Liang Chaowei, Lü Fang, Zhong Zhentao, Chen Guoxi,
Surrounded by a group of old brothers, the suits lined up and sent out a white Porsche sports car to pick up the bride.
Flowers were blown away on the road, and the traffic police stopped for a while.
The groomsmen received the bride at 12:30 p.m.
At the wedding banquet, there were not only Jackie Chan and Liang Jiahui, but also Liu Jialing and Ye Tong.
Including wu Junru, a former lover, he also appeared at the wedding banquet.
The years have eliminated old grudges and ushered in new love.
In 2016, Du Dewei's son was born.
Known as the "Sunshine Man", He became famous in the late 1980s, at the height of Hong Kong's music scene.
Therefore, Du Dewei can be said to have caught up with a good era.
His style is mainly fast songs, and with strong Western popular elements,
This may have something to do with his early studies in Europe and the United States.
In the 1990s, his focus shifted to Taiwan.
However, with the completion of his contract with Rolling Stone Records, he was once away from the music scene.
During this period, he designed his own clothing brand and opened a tea restaurant in Taipei in accordance with his father's will.
It wasn't until 2014 that he returned to the music scene.
Whether it is music creation or life, he always carries his own distinctive imprint and personality.
Now, it has been almost 10 years since Du Dewei got married.
His recent updates on the Internet show that the 59-year-old looks younger than his 58-year-old mother-in-law.
In the next group of photos, Du Dewei, wearing a green pattern shirt and leopard print shorts, is playing with his pet lizard on his stomach.
This avant-garde and fashionable dress, worn on Du Dewei's body, does not contradict his age at all.
Maybe it's because his brother Du Dezhi is a star fitness instructor,
Du Dewei, who is diligent in fitness, whether it is his face or his figure, he can't see that he is a person who is about to be 60 years old.
Standing with their wives, the two men looked more like peers.
From personal concerts to variety shows and movies, Du Dewei, who is about to spend his life, is still very busy.
This may be the second spring of his life.
