On January 20, The singer Xie Dong, who was once popular all over the country, uploaded a video on the short video platform, and he already had no feeling of youth in the video, after all, he was 59 years old, but the image of this bald head and bare shoulder was not quite consistent with the identity of the star, and the appearance at this time was also very different from the audience's memory.
Speaking of Xie Dong, in addition to his classic songs, the audience is most concerned about one of his rumors, that is, "singer Xie Dong is the illegitimate son of a certain cross-talk master"! Because Xie Dong's appearance is very similar to that of a certain cross-talk master, and his mother Ma Zenghui once worked as a colleague with this cross-talk master, it is rumored that the cross-talk master went to Beijing to perform and lived in Ma Zenghui's house, and there were rumors until Ma Zenghui got married. Even the famous writer Wang Shuo said categorically that Xie Dong is the son of a certain cross-talk master, and today we will reveal the real situation!
01
Father loves pampering
Xie Dong was born in 1963 in Beijing into an artistic family, his father Xie Lingxiao was a playwright of the China Radio Rap Company, and later went to work in the TV drama production center of the TV station, and his mother was a single-string performance artist of the China Broadcasting Arts Troupe and a national first-class actor.
Sister Xie Yi under the supervision of his mother to learn performance and various musical instruments, like a top spinning non-stop, but he grew up freely, never had to worry about being forced to learn, the free growth environment made Xie Dong's childhood life very happy, playing a small and quiet personality Xie Dong gradually became cheerful and lively, full of enthusiasm.
In 1980, Xie Dong's college entrance examination unexpectedly fell off the list, after the list of Xie Dong was depressed, Xie Lingxiao and Ma Zenghui originally hoped that their son could be admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and systematically study script creation, but unfortunately Xie Dong was not very contentious, and his parents in turn would comfort their son, and all roads would lead to Rome.
In 1982, Xie Dong entered the TV station where his father Xie Lingxiao was located, repeating the work every day, Xie Dong was a little tired, and his father Xie Lingxiao supported any decision of his son, in fact, Xie Dong knew that this job was something that many people could not ask for, so he began to sing his favorite songs and write essays he wanted to write after work. The smile on Xie Dong's face was visibly more, and his parents were happy, because the parents knew that as long as their son was healthy and happy, it was enough.
But Ma Zenghui will also privately remind his son Xie Dong that he can't take his work seriously because his father is spoiled, and his future must be fought by himself. These words made Xie Dong feel that his mother was so strict, but his father understood himself better.
By chance, Xie Dong accompanied a literary and art column of the top TV station to participate in a party in a southern city. After the party began, a popular singer could not perform on stage because of the missed opportunity, and the director who was in a hurry suddenly grabbed Xie Dong and asked him to save the scene, after all, Xie Dong's mother can sing, and his father can act. The director half pushed Xie Dong on the stage, the director let him sing casually, which finally let Xie Dong find the direction, because the two songs he sang casually by Liu Huan won the applause of everyone present, and Xie Dong's confidence suddenly increased.
Ma Zenghui
This temporary rescue made Xie Dong suddenly realize that he could still sing. Back at home, Xie Dong triumphantly showed off to his mother that he also had a talent for singing. Although at that time, his mother felt that he still lacked a lot, but his father Xie Lingxiao gave Ma Zenghui a look, and he had to encourage and hit the child more, and the child was confident enough to have the courage to challenge more impossibilities.
In 1993, his friend Chen Xiangyu created the song "Smiley Face", and when recording a sample of the song, Xie Dong took the initiative to ask him to try it. As soon as he opened his mouth, the staff in the recording studio were all calmed down, because he sang so well that the opportunity needed to be fought for by himself, and in this way he got the song "Smiley Face".
As soon as "Smiley Face" was launched, it instantly became popular in the streets and alleys, and Xie Dong became famous in one fell swoop and became a popular male singer. Xie Dong knows that his fame may have accidental factors, and if there is an inevitable factor in chance, it is his father's encouragement and guidance to him. In order to show his love and gratitude for his father, Xie Dong released his second album "Child His Father" after "Smiley Face".

Frustrated son
In 1995, Xie Dong established his own company, Xie DongYi. All the expenses for the company's operation and the publicity and packaging of the artists signed in the company are earned by Xie Dong one performance after another. At that time, Xie Dong's remuneration per performance was as high as more than 60,000 yuan, which was one of the singers with the highest appearance fee in China. After having money, Xie Dong was very generous and very righteous to his friends. Xie Dong once bought "The Child And His Father" created by music producer Wang Tongyu for a super high price of 110,000 yuan. After the friends in the circle learned of this matter, they couldn't help but count Xie Dong: "You are stupid! How much is the price tag of Li Zongsheng's songs? You actually paid 110,000 yuan to buy a song! "And there is no evergreen tree in the music world, and sooner or later there is a day when Xie Dong cries."
Xie Dong responded generously, after all, his economic situation is a little better, he should help his friends, and he is a righteous person, and he can't watch his friends worry about money. And after his parents learned of this, they all agreed with his approach, rich and no money can not be too stingy, to fight righteousness!
However, unlike other artists, Xie Dong still lived with his parents at that time. He felt that his parents were getting older day by day, and he should stay with his parents to take care of and care for them, especially his parents also told him that no matter how old he was, he was a child in front of his parents. In order not to let his parents worry about himself, and even more did not want his parents to see his busy figure every day, Xie Dong simply moved out to live.
As long as Xie Dong did not go to perform in other places, he often returned to his parents' homes to accompany his parents. The attentive Ma Zenghui and Xie Lingxiao found that their sons with successful careers were becoming more and more unhappy, and Xie Dong often reassured his parents that he was very good.
In the Spring Festival of 1998, Xie Dong rushed home to accompany his parents to Chinese New Year's Eve meal after attending the party. In order to celebrate the New Year, Xie Dong bought several bottles of good wine for his father, and the father and son drank silently. Looking at his father's increasingly white hair, Xie Dong was very unhappy in his heart. As if telepathically, Xie Lingxiao suddenly looked up at his son and said the tear-jerking words that made him take care of his body.
His father's loving gaze made Xie Dong have an impulse to talk, and Xie Dong finally told his father the confusion that had been suffocating in his heart for a long time, and it turned out that "Smiley Face" had been in the past for many years, and he had sung more songs and acted, but all the works could not surpass "Smiley Face", and he was a bit humiliated.
At this time, it was his father Xie Lingxiao who comforted him, a good song can always be sung for many years, enduring, and become a classic. Seeing his son is still very sad, the father's words turned sharply, simply warmly asked his son not to force himself. So in 1998, Xie Dong was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and his heart finally stopped being impetuous and calmed down, and he devoted himself to studying and living.
After that, Xie Dong also served as the first assistant director in 4 films directed by Zhang Yimou, including "My Father and Mother". Xie Dong's bigger dream at this time was not to sing, but to be a director.
Although Xie Dong worked hard and actively created scripts to find partners to prepare films, due to the sluggish film market and other reasons, the scripts that had signed contracts with film studios were eventually aborted. Coupled with the sharp decline in income from the song world and the uncertain future, Xie Dong's psychological pressure is very large.
In 2001, after Xie Dong took a loan to buy a Mercedes-Benz car, he was sued by the bank for failing to repay the bank loan in time. The matter was widely hyped up after being disclosed by the media. Xie Dong became more depressed and painful, and began to become autistic. For a while, Xie Dong had thought about suicide more than once. After Ma Zenghui and Xie Lingxiao sensed their son's abnormality, they decisively enlightened their son, even if it didn't matter if he raised him for a lifetime, as long as he was healthy and happy. Xie Dong suddenly had mixed feelings, knelt down and hugged his parents, and cried bitterly.
In 2003, Xie Dong created a film script called "True Colors". Originally, the contract had been signed with the film studio, and later because the actress with great box office appeal was not in place, the contract was automatically invalidated, and finally it was not done, which was a big blow to Xie Dong. Since then, Xie Dong's psychological state and mental condition have become worse and worse.
In order not to let his parents worry about his situation, Xie Dong had to dress up carefully every time before returning to his parents' home to make himself look clean and fresh. In order to make himself look a little more cheerful, Xie Dong also had to drink a cup of strong coffee in advance. Ma Zenghui and Xie Lingxiao knew in their hearts that their son was not living well, but when they saw that their son was refreshed every time he came back, they gradually relaxed their hearts.
In October 2006, Ma Zenghui and Xie Lingxiao celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. In order to celebrate the golden wedding for his parents, Xie Dong began to actively prepare more than a month in advance. Booking a private room in the hotel, contacting friends and family, Xie Dong, who looks rough on the surface, is actually a very attentive person. The clothes worn by the parents at the celebration ceremony, every wine and dish of the banquet, and even the invitation were handled by Xie Dong. On this day, the golden wedding commemoration ceremony of Ma Zenghui and Xie Lingxiao was solemnly held in the West Hall on the third floor of the famous "Lao She Tea House" in Beijing. Ma Zenghui wore a Chinese red dress, which looked both beautiful and radiant. Xie Lingxiao wore a red Chinese suit. Everyone can't help but ridicule the two who are so old and still wear couple clothes, which is really noble and elegant and fashionable, and parents will proudly say that this is a banquet organized by Xie Dong.
Xie Dong, who was busy at the back of the crowd, saw his parents smile happily and quietly shed tears of happiness. Xie Dong's friends know that Xie Dong's economic situation at this time is very bad, and he spends so much money on his parents' banquet, what should he do after that? Xie Dong is even more unconcerned, it is worth it to make his elderly parents happy, and he has fallen to the bottom, and he is not far behind? The result is a slur! On May 26, 2007, Xie Dong was detained on suspicion of taking illicit drugs. Hearing that their son was detained, Ma Zenghui and Xie Lingxiao could not believe their ears at first, but after the news was confirmed, they were all burned and in pain.
Xie Lingxiao went to the detention center to visit his son, and when he saw his white-haired father, Xie Dong choked and cried bitterly, and his father Xie Lingxiao was even more tearful. After calming down, his father warned Xie Dong to face it bravely and take this incident as a new starting point. His father's words pointed out the direction for Xie Dong. What he is most sorry for is not himself, but his parents, who are his spiritual pillars, especially his father has just had a gastrectomy and cannot rest properly, and he has brought him shame.
Xie Dong, who walked out of the detention center, fell to his knees in front of his parents when he returned home, and his parents hugged their son who had made a mistake and cried, but his parents still encouraged Xie Dong. The love of his parents made Xie Dong stand up again, although after he faded out of the screen, here also have to mention that the actor Liu Lin also encouraged Xie Dong on social platforms, begging the public to give Xie Dong a chance. Today's Xie Dong, although he has become an uncle of vicissitudes, can occasionally receive some business performances, and will also post some family photos on social software, which has already come out of the haze.

Personally respond to the "bastard" rumors
Xie Dong's relationship with his parents has always been very good, especially his father's encouragement to him, he can't forget it in this life, but there are still netizens who believe that he is the illegitimate son of a cross-talk master, and Xie Dong has actually responded to this personally. He said firmly and forcefully that the only one who gave birth to him and raised him was a father and a mother, the father was Xie Lingxiao, and the mother was Ma Zenghui. Xie Dong and Wang Shuo were once friends, there was no conflict of interest or personality obstacle, Xie Dong also admired Wang Shuo's talents, but for Wang Shuo to question that he was an illegitimate child, Xie Dong did not give a clear answer.
Is there anything you would like to say about this response?
