In 1999, 32-year-old Jiang Tao and Chen Hong, Cai Guoqing, Zhang Mai,
Singing "Often Go Home to See" on the Spring Festival Gala stage,
This is his second appearance at the Spring Festival Gala.
On the stage, he hugged the actor of "Father",
Singing happily: "Often go home to see, go home to see, even if it is to give Dad a back and rub his shoulders." ”
In front of the camera, he looks radiant,
And the heart has long been "full of tears".
Because just the night before,
His father had just passed away,
However, due to rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, he could not see the last side.
The son wants to raise and the relatives are absent, and the departure of the father makes him extremely miserable,
But come to think of it, he owes his father too much,
But even more indebted is the wife who has been married for 34 years.
In 1967, Jiang Tao was born in Qingdao, Shandong Province.
His parents were both workers, and there was only one brother and one sister in the family, so he had a good life.
Although no one in the family understands music, parents in order to meet their son's wishes,
He still sent his son early to learn musical instruments and sing.
But in his fourth grade, his parents eventually ended their marriage due to emotional discord.
At the time, he didn't know what divorce was, so when his mother took his brother,
He also foolishly said goodbye to them, but did not know that they had left,
Doomed not to come back.
Fortunately, my father was a thoughtful person,
After my mother left, my father cared more about the siblings.
He saved money for cigarettes and sent his sister to dance,
Buy a drama box for Jiang Tao and let him teach him opera on his own.
Jiang Tao is very talented,
When he was in school, he followed the Children's Palace to many places to participate in performances.
After graduating from high school, he hoped to enter a professional school to study vocal music, but the road was not easy.
He applied for the Shanghai Music and Shandong Music Schools, and both fell off the list.
He continued to take the examination for the army's literary and artistic troupe, but all of them ended in failure.
If you can't sing, then choose another path,
It just so happens that Qingdao TV is recruiting a host,
He felt that the opportunity had come.
But in the end, it was Wang Ning who was successfully selected.
Countless failures have made him and his family lose confidence.
His father was afraid that his son would not be admitted to college and would not have a job.
So he retired 6 years early and left his job to his children.
Jiang Tao could only inherit his father's mantle and become a railway worker.
Slowly, he grew from an apprentice with 24 yuan to a regular employee who could receive 36 yuan.
However, even though he was on the railway, he still did not give up his musical dream.
Versatile him, his literary and artistic foundation is very solid,
Soon became a member of the business propaganda team on the railway.
In addition to completing work and performing, he insisted on learning guitar,
And his guitar master is Wan Xiaomu's third uncle.
I have to say that at that time, he was tall and had a clear eyebrow,
He has a stable job and is still a literary and artistic youth.
After a long time, his master and mother also began to think of matchmaking.
Once, her niece came to play at home,
So she called Jiang Tao along with her.
After Jiang Tao happily entered the door,
At a glance, I saw Wan Xiaomu, who had an elegant temperament and a beautiful face,
Wise, he immediately understood the meaning of his master and mother.
When his master and mother asked him to come to a song,
He immediately sang "Hotline You and Me",
The beautiful singing and fiery sight instantly made Wan Xiaomu's heart move.
Since then, they have gotten closer together,
Jiang Tao often rides to pick her up from work,
This kind of thoughtfulness also made Wan Xiaomu more devoted.
But at this time, Jiang Tao did not know that the difference in family wealth between them was huge.
Wan Xiaomu is a typical "white rich beauty",
Her great-grandfather was the largest "salt merchant" in Shandong.
In the 80s, the family had already lived in a large villa.
Wan Xiaomu, who graduated from high school, entered a state-owned enterprise and became an accountant.
Solid family, good people, stable work,
These conditions alone usher in many suitors,
Among them, there are also many people who are door-to-door,
But she liked Jiang Tao, who was from an ordinary family but was talented.
Her parents didn't approve of them being together.
But in the end, I couldn't resist my daughter's enthusiasm.
In 1987, they married,
The next year he had a son, Jiang Yukuo.
Love meets unexpectedly, and Jiang Tao's music career is slowly starting.
That year, he took the self-created song "Memories of the Little Station" to participate in the competition.
Won the third prize for performance.
Seeing their music being affirmed,
His heart for the pursuit of music, further determined.
As a wife, Wan Xiaomu knows her husband's love for music.
So he took the initiative to propose that he go to Beijing to learn art from a teacher.
But at that time, their lives were not rich,
There is no extra money to support this tuition fee,
So he pretended not to care and refused.
Husband and wife have been together for many years, Wan Xiaomu knows the true thoughts in his heart,
He comforted him and said, "As long as you make up your mind, I will borrow the money." ”
So, Jiang Tao led his wife to the house of his father-in-law and mother-in-law to borrow money,
Alone in Beijing.
When he was in Qingdao, he sang with great achievements,
He was full of faith,
When I arrived in the big capital, I knew my own ordinariness,
It turned out that he was just one of many dreamers.
In the first competition in Beijing, he fell behind,
Since then, it has begun to drift north, and there is no fixed place to live.
He has no chance to sing, and he has very little money left.
When he was the poorest, he could only eat instant noodles for three meals a day.
Sometimes even instant noodles can't afford to eat,
Even steamed buns are not willing to buy.
He couldn't bear to drag down the family any longer,
I had the idea of going home.
And the wife of the family, in order to subsidize the family,
So he took advantage of the maternity leave period to hide his husband from going to the construction site to cook for people.
When Jiang Tao returned home, he did not see his wife.
The son is also cared for by the father,
When he learned about the situation, he went to the construction site.
I saw my wife covered in oil and sweat, stir-frying in front of the pot stove.
It is said that the boy has tears and does not flick, at that moment, he is full of tears,
Secretly made up my mind that there must be a chance,
Otherwise, it is difficult to repay the wife's silent dedication and support.
So, Jiang Tao once again took the money supported by his parents,
Once again, the north drift began.
In 1992, at the age of 25, he participated in the youth song competition for the third time.
That year, it can be said that the master is like a cloud,
Competing with him are also powerful singers such as Mao Ning and Chen Hong
In the end, Jiang Tao won the championship with a song "Snow in hometown".
After my mother-in-law saw the news of her son-in-law's award on TV,
Fearing that as soon as he became famous, he would abandon his daughter.
So she took her daughter and grandson to Beijing overnight.
After meeting my wife and children and my mother-in-law.
Jiang Tao was very happy, but he began to worry again,
It is certainly not appropriate for a family to live in a dormitory.
So I had to live in a relative's house.
Although it is borrowed, it can only live in the cellar where the vegetables are placed.
There is no sunlight here all day long, it is damp and cold,
The space can only barely fit a bed,
But Jiang Tao did not abandon it,
As long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it is already a blessing.
But one morning when I got up,
He saw his son with 5 mouse footprints on his face,
My heart was both uncomfortable and worried.
And such a day, once passed, is 2 years.
Later, Jiang Tao, who had little achievements, was favored by the Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps.
Finally put on the military uniform, so that parents, wives and children are very proud.
The unit also gave him a house, although it was only a few tens of square meters,
But being able to move out of the cellar and have a shelter in Beijing,
It's already very good.
When the family has a place to live,
He became more focused on music.
In 1997, the famous composer Bian Liunian specially called him.
I want to invite him to sing his new work "Foolish Old Uncle".
After listening to the other person hum a few words,
Satisfied with the melody and lyrics of the song, he agreed to sing it.
Because the word "yugong moving mountains" is more familiar to everyone,
Therefore, Jiang Tao also suggested changing the title of the song to "Yugong Moving Mountains".
The following year, he appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala again and sang the song.
Since then, his fame has grown,
"Yugong Moving Mountains" has also become his most famous masterpiece,
His career has also taken to a new level.
When the career and family are slowly on the right track,
The cruelty of reality made him understand the pain of his son's desire to raise and not to wait.
At that time, my father could have a decent job for Jiang Tao,
Gave up his job to him, and he chased his dreams,
He took frequent leave of absence to participate in performances and was even almost expelled.
When my father came to the factory to ask the leader to open a net,
For the sake of his years of diligent work, he kept the child's job.
But the leader did not agree,
So he promised that his son's missing job would be filled for him.
He even threw himself on his knees,
Seeing this situation, the leader hurriedly helped him up and agreed without anger.
Whenever he thought back to this scene, Jiang Tao felt extremely guilty.
For so many years, he has been wandering away,
He did not send money to his father, and in the early days he even received it from his father.
The only thing that comforted my father was that
Now my son has put on his military uniform, gone to the Spring Festival Gala, and realized his dream.
So he said to everyone: "My son is out of work, and he went to the Central Station spring festival gala." ”
Every time he goes home, Jiang Tao will also deliberately change into a military uniform.
Just to let my father look at it a few more times and show off a few more words.
In 1995, my father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and stroke.
Jiang Tao did his best to find the best hospital, ask the most professional doctors, and buy the best medicines and supplements.
But my father was so sick that he couldn't eat anything.
In those six months, he watched his father lose from 150 pounds to more than 70 pounds.
But there was nothing that could be done.
In the five years since his father fell ill, Jiang Tao is still working.
I even visited the hospital only 4 times.
But my father never complained, but told him to work well and not worry about himself.
However, at the end of 1999, the news of the terminal illness came from his long-ill father.
At this time, he was preparing for the rehearsal of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala,
When he rushed back to Qingdao after the rehearsal, he was unable to see his father for the last time.
After hastily explaining his father's aftermath,
He immediately rushed back to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala performance.
Sing "Often Go Home" with Chen Hong and other singers,
Although the heart is grief-stricken,
But he still had to hold back tears and beat up 100 percent of his spirit.
His father's departure made him begin to reflect.
Later, he overheard his sister say,
The mother's life after remarrying is not satisfactory,
So after consulting his wife and mother-in-law,
Bring your mother to live with you.
A family of five, crammed into a small house,
So he opened the house and let his mother and mother-in-law sleep together.
His good friend Fu Disheng also said that he originally wanted to change houses and live in the same community together.
But his first consideration is that the old man will not be used to changing rooms suddenly after living for a long time.
His son, Jiang Yukuo, said: "Dad sang and practiced at home every day, and only Grandma could tolerate him, because Dad sang loudly and his grandmother had his ears behind his ears, so he didn't feel noisy."
Speaking of his mother-in-law, Jiang Tao also humorously called the old lady "Iron Man",
Because the old man was fractured, both legs were hit with steel plates,
During that time, he took care of it every day,
He also said that he had great strength and could finally come in handy.
The mother-in-law also said that the son-in-law was very kind to him, more close than the son.
To be able to get such an affirmation, it can be seen that his filial piety is solid.
But the reason why he can have a happy life today,
The most grateful is the wife,
She is the hero of this family.
After so many years of marriage, everything in the family is taken care of by the wife alone,
From house decoration, investment and financial management, children's education,
As small as Jiang Tao's food, clothing, shelter and transportation,
None of them are supported by their wives behind them.
When her son was in elementary school, she made a strict study plan for her son.
If you do one wrong question, do 30 more questions;
If you play a wrong tone, you will hit the palm of your hand.
Although she knew that such an education was somewhat harsh,
But at that time, the conditions at home were average,
Therefore, she can only strictly demand her son in order to make his future smoother.
Under the strict teaching of the mother, the son naturally grew up to be quite good.
He was not only admitted to the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom,
At the time of graduation, he was one of only 27 students to receive an honorary degree.
In the son's body, full of calmness and confidence,
And this confidence is also from Yu Mother's earnest teachings.
After graduating from graduate school, he listened to his mother's advice,
Went to work at a bank.
Such an excellent son also made Jiang Tao extremely proud.
But he also knows very well that without the wife's efforts,
It is impossible to have such a good son.
But on one show, he also revealed that he was forced to get married:
"Now my son is over thirty years old, but he still hasn't found a girlfriend."
So whenever the son came back from outing, the two would carefully interrogate him.
Since his son went abroad to study, Wan Xiaomu finally had time to work.
But her job is to be her husband's assistant, driver, agent......
His wife was considerate of him and did everything herself,
So much so that Jiang Tao still can't drive, usually calling his wife to pick him up.
And Jiang Tao's makeup and clothing, she all asked for perfection,
Although sometimes her husband will lose his temper, she can also tolerate them all.
The famous host Wang Weinian in the "Vietnam War more courageous" program,
He once said, "There was a time when I was very busy.
There is almost no time to communicate with parents,
But Jiang Tao spent half of his spare time chatting with my father.
They also carved chapters and wrote together. With such a star friend,
Don't mention how happy the old man is. ”
Wang Nian choked up as he spoke, and could only thank him again and again.
It is precisely because Jiang Tao has such a wife of Xiannaisuke,
He will have the mentality of putting himself in the shoes of others.
His family would allow him to leave his already small free time to others.
The two have been married for 34 years, and the wife has been operating outside the home for 34 years.
So it looks a lot older than Jiang Tao.
Once, when participating in an event, a reporter asked him: "You have been famous for so long, but your wife is an ordinary person.
Still older than you, don't you have an opinion? ”
Jiang Tao frowned and said angrily, "Of course not, she is my only lover.
It is also my benefactor, when she worked around the stove to earn money, has always been engraved in my heart,
She is the only love of my life. ”
On March 22, 2020, Fu Disheng posted a video,
The text showed that "it was too much to show up with him".
In the video, the two are in the powder room,
Fu Disheng first sang a passage of "Yugong Moving Mountains", and then moved the camera to Jiang Tao,
Dressed in a red costume, he still looks young.
After the video came out, netizens were attracted by his handsome appearance,
Some netizens also questioned why his appearance has not changed for so many years.
You know, he's 55 years old today.
Although in the past six years, it has rarely been possible to see him on TV again,
But it also means he leaves more time for his family.
In fact, he only fell in love once in his life, and only loved one person.
That's the wife who has been working together for many years.
From falling in love to getting married, and then becoming a father,
Their feelings have been the same for decades, and they have never wavered,
He also never had a scandal.
Although this feeling is plain, it is enough to touch people's hearts.
What do you have to say about that? Feel free to leave a comment below to discuss.
