Once, 54-year-old Li Keqin was drunk during dinner, and he had to endure the drink. Someone asked him, why do you fight so hard? He said helplessly: "I have to pay back 600,000 mortgages every month and pay 200,000 tuition fees for my children. ”
In order to make money, he once ran 30 performances a week, socialized every day from morning to night, and drank alcohol became a common thing, although his stomach was uncomfortable, he could only smile.
Mention of Li Keqin, it will remind people of the inspirational song "Red Sun", the eighties and nines, is also his most brilliant time.
Li Keqin, born in Hong Kong, has loved to participate in various singing activities at school since he was a child.
At the age of 18, he won the amateur singing competition with a song called "Misty Love", and then signed to PolyGram Records to become a professional singer.
In 1987, he released the song Serenade of the Moon, which became his early masterpiece.
A year later, Li Keqin starred in TVB's TV series "No More When I Was a Teenager", and also sang the theme song of the play, which has since become popular.
However, in that era, there were too many people who sang and danced well, and soon, the company's Dawn and Jacky Cheung began to become popular, and the company tilted its resources to the two.
Li Keqin felt that he was ignored and began to play with his temper.
Young and vigorous, he did not know that he would compete with the company with his own strength, that is, to hit the stone with a pebble, and Li Keqin's momentum declined, and he could only sink his heart and polish the music.
In 1992, Li Keqin released the single "Red Sun", which he hoped to cheer himself up through this song.
Perhaps, this song touched young people, Li Keqin burst into flames again, he would not have thought that after that, as long as he opened a concert, this song would become a must-sing track, and he would not have thought that 20 years later, this song would become popular because of a movie.
But at that time, Li Keqin had already decided to leave PolyGram Records.
Later, he said in an interview that if the song had come out a little earlier, perhaps, he would not have left Polygon, but there are so many ifs in the world.
After switching to Starlight Records, Li Keqin's career ushered in a small peak.
He released his first Chinese album and held a solo concert at hung hom stadium.
However, not long after such a day, Li Keqin and Starlight Records also had a contract dispute, and his career fell into a low point again.
In 1996, Li Keqin joined Yineng Dynamic Music, but his career did not improve.
As a last resort, Li Keqin could only run to be the host to increase the exposure in front of the audience, lest the fans forget themselves.
After a big circle, Li Keqin still returned to the arms of his old owner, and at this time, Polygram Records had been acquired by Universal Records.
Li Keqin re-signed with Universal Records, and his career finally rose again.
In 2003, Li Keqin and Tan Yonglin collaborated on the "Left Lin Right Lee Concert", which set off a "Left Lin Right Lee" fever in Hong Kong, and they opened 18 consecutive concerts in Hong Kong and also started a world tour.
Li Keqin, who has money, finally ended a 14-year love run with his girlfriend Lu Shuyi, they bought several houses and also carried a monthly loan of 600,000 yuan.
But at that time, Li Keqin was in the limelight, and it was completely out of the question to repay the loan.
After marriage, Lu Shuyi gave birth to two sons, and Li Keqin was very happy and more motivated to make money.
However, as more and more new people appeared, Li Keqin's commercial value gradually decreased, and he made less and less money, and had to take some commercial performances.
But the more commercial performances, the more social interactions.
Once, he was exposed to drinking helplessly at the wine table, looking aggrieved and sad.
Netizens suddenly fried the pot: Li Keqin was once so brilliant, how did he now fall to the point where he had to drink? So short of money?
A reporter interviewed him on the matter.
Li Keqin looked helpless: "This is part of the work, I have to pay back 600,000 mortgages every month, I have to pay 200,000 tuition fees to my children every semester, in addition, the family's living expenses are also hundreds of thousands, if I don't work hard, the family will not be able to operate normally." ”
In recent years, Li Keqin has frequently appeared on some variety shows, on the one hand, the remuneration is objective, on the other hand, it is a mixed face, so as not to let the audience forget him.
Although it is said that Li Keqin was more sad to be poured on the wine table, at least, he made a lot of money after a business performance, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But what about ordinary people? Those who are busy socializing are just making a hard earner.
Even more aggrieved are ordinary people.
It can only be said that life is not easy, and only by working hard can we have a better life.
In the past, it was said that living to be old and learning to be old, now, it can be said that living to the old and struggling to be old.
