On October 31, 2009, "famous singer" Chen Lin jumped to her death in a residential area in Beijing. This day is not only the birthday of Chen Lin's ex-husband Shen Yongge, but also the 100-day anniversary of her marriage with her second husband.
After the news spread, fans were sad at the same time, but also wondered: Chen Lin, as a popular singer, why did she choose to jump off the building to commit suicide on the birthday of her ex-husband? How much resentment do they have between them? What are the stories of her and her second husband?
It all starts at the beginning.
1. Chen Lin, who is fostered in someone else's home
In 1970, Chen Lin was born in Fengjie County, Chongqing, where her father worked in a textile factory and her mother taught in a children's school.
But because of the busy work, the couple had no time to take care of the child, so after Chen Lin was weaned, they fostered her in someone else's home.
The couple could only meet their daughter when they were resting, and it was not until Chen Lin was in elementary school that she returned to live in her home.
It is reasonable to say that children who are far away from their parents from an early age will have some defects in personality, either insecure or inferiority complex.
However, Chen Lin was completely unaffected. She is lively and cheerful, not only has strong self-care ability, but also ranks among the best in academic performance.
Chen Lin's parents are Peking Opera fans, and when other parents take their children to the zoo to play, they take Xiao Chen Lin to see Peking Opera.
Under the influence of this environment, Chen Lin became interested in literature and art, and she often sang "Fishing and Killing The Family" with her father at home.
When he was 6 years old, his father took Chen Lin to participate in the activities of the unit, and Chen Lin performed a piece of "Family Living in Anyuan" on stage, which won a round of applause from the audience.
Later, Chen Lin began to contact piano and other musical instruments, and gradually embarked on the road of music.
From primary school to junior high school, Chen Lin was very good in all aspects and became a neighbor's "other people's child".
In 1985, at the age of 15, Chen Lin was admitted to the Sichuan Provincial Dance Academy with excellent results.
During her time at the school, Chen Lin seriously studied professional knowledge. At the same time, she also developed a stronger yearning for music and aspired to become a singer.
After graduation, Chen Lin did not choose the "iron rice bowl" with a stable income, nor did she accept the job arranged for her by her father.
In Chen Lin's view, instead of doing those jobs that she didn't like, it was better to turn her hobbies into jobs, and she became a bar resident singer without hesitation.
However, although people like music, the bar is full of fish and dragons, and a girl is a resident singer, and it is easy to be pointed out.
But Chen Lin's love for music is from the heart, and whenever she is immersed in music, she will automatically ignore the discordant sounds around her.
During the two years of working in the bar, Chen Lin fully refined her voice and polished her skills, and at the same time she also met the first Bole in her life, Wang Xiaojing.
Second, because of "your tenderness I never understand" and became popular
In the 1990s, domestic pop music was on the right track, and many excellent pop singers emerged.
And Wang Xiaojing is a "godfather" level figure in the music world, who once single-handedly held Cui Jian.
At that time, Chen Lin was singing in a bar, and Wang Xiaojing immediately heard Chen Lin's potential after hearing her singing.
After that, Wang Xiaojing began to vigorously promote Chen Lin and take her to the road of professional singer.
In 1993, Wang Xiaojing created "Your Tenderness I Never Understand", originally planning to find Na Ying to sing.
Na Ying ran away and signed a contract with Faye Wong's company, and Wang Xiaojing handed over "Your Tenderness I Never Understand" to Chen Lin to sing.
Chen Lin did not disappoint Wang Xiaojing, and her clear voice sang this song to the heart, singing the voices of countless girls who were confused in love.
Once released, the album soared, quickly surpassing 1.5 million copies, and the song became one of the "golden songs" that looped through the streets.
The following year, Chen Lin won the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" Best Newcomer Award with this album, and also participated in the "Chinese Style" tour throughout the country and Singapore.
Even after such a long time, this song still has a very important position in the hearts of many post-80s and post-90s, and often appears in the must-have tracks of major KTV.
As a rising star in the music industry, Chen Lin has naturally attracted the attention of many people, including Shen Yongge.
Shen Yongge is the current president of Tianyu Music, a legend in China's recording industry, and he has won the popularity of Black Panther, Reincarnation, Yang Kun and other heavyweight artists in the music industry.
In the mid-1980s, Shen Yongge went to Japan to study, and was one of the few international students of that era.
After graduation, he entered the Japanese JVC record company, starting from the most basic level, and spent five years to climb to the top of the company step by step.
In 1994, as the chief representative of JVC, Shen Yongge returned to Beijing to establish JVC Records China Branch and began to recruit artists.
After hearing Chen Lin's singing, Shen Yongge was very surprised, and he felt that Chen Lin was the person he had been looking for.
Later, Shen Yongge met Chen Lin through the introduction of friends, and the fate of the two began to unfold.
Third, fall into shen Yongge's love trap
In 1996, Shen Yongge founded his own company "Bamboo Book Culture" in China, dedicated to creating domestic singers. The first batch of artists signed by the company are the two bands mentioned above, Black Panther and Reincarnation, as well as Chen Lin.
After signing the contract, Shen Yongge began to cultivate Chen Lin with all his strength, and successively helped her launch albums such as "Afraid to Fall in Love with You", "Woman", "Love is Love" and so on.
Each of these albums will have a hit song, such as this "Love Is Love".
"Don't punish yourself anymore, love is love; as a result, don't care about him, do it ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "
"Love Is Love" has become the memory of many post-80s and post-90s with a brisk melody and free lyrics.
During the songwriting, Chen Lin also went to Austria, Europe, Malaysia and other places to participate in performances, and successfully took her songs out of the country.
Moreover, Chen Lin also won the "Best Female Singer Award of Shenzhou Music in the Global Chinese Chart" with her own works.
At this time, Chen Lin has become the hottest female singer, and it is no exaggeration to call her the "queen of heaven" of that era.
At the same time as her career is booming, Chen Lin has also ushered in her own love.
In those days of bamboo book culture, Shen Yongge took good care of her and cared for her. In terms of music, Shen Yongge can always give her some unique advice, which benefits her a lot.
In the beginning, the two have maintained a relationship of mentorship and friendship. But after getting along for a long time, Chen Lin was gradually touched by his gentleness, so the two began to reveal their hearts and formally communicate.
The two work together and attend events together, inside and outside the camera, Chen Lin's face is always full of smiles, and anyone can see her happiness.
Chen Lin likes to row, and after work, Shen Yongge will accompany her to the North Sea to row. Her preferences liked and disliked, and Chen Yongge remembered it clearly.
The relationship between the two heated up step by step, and later, it naturally came to the point of marriage.
After the marriage, Chen Lin's limelight was flourishing, and Shen Yongge also added bricks and tiles, constantly receiving notices to Chen Lin and performing in various places.
Chen Lin was so busy that she didn't touch the ground, and when she had a little free time, she went to record new songs, often busy until midnight, and finally fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.
During the period of hospitalization, Chen Lin would often be alone in a daze and keep thinking: Why should I be so desperate? Why give up on life? Is that what I want?
In fact, for Chen Lin, fame and fortune are not so important, as long as you can engage in your favorite music career and be with the people you love.
A serious illness and a few days of reflection have given Chen Lin a different understanding of life, career and life.
Therefore, she decided to talk to Shen Yongge.
After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Lin said to Shen Yongge: "I want to slow down, rest more in the future, and enjoy life." Also, we've been married for so long, I've always wanted to have a child, but I'm too busy to take care of it. In the future, you will give me less work, I want to take good care of my body, and then have a child. ”
In order to appease Chen Lin's emotions, Shen Yongge agreed, but in his heart, he did not take Chen Lin's words seriously at all.
Within a few days, Shen Yongge began to take over the work for Chen Lin, and Chen Lin consulted with Shen Yongge again, but he agreed in person, but behind his back, the two fell into a dead cycle.
In Shen Yongge's view, marriage is far less important than his own career. After all, he had struggled in Japan for many years, experienced the hardships of the bottom, and would not easily give up on his current achievements.
As a result, the two often quarreled over this matter, and the contradiction became bigger and bigger.
During that time, Chen Lin's mood was very low, and she often felt that "she was just a money-making tool for Shen Yongge." And Shen Yongge was also getting more and more impatient with Chen Lin.
In 2007, Chen Lin was invited to perform in Germany, but Shen Yongge, who stayed in China, made a mistake.
Fourth, the former lover changed his heart
On the day chen lin returned to China, Shen Yongge did not go to the airport to pick up the plane, and even the evening reception banquet, he did not attend on the grounds that he was busy at work.
In the past, as long as Chen Lin returned to China, Shen Yongge would arrange it very well, and it was the first time that he "released pigeons" like this. This abnormal behavior of his made Chen Lin suspicious and decided to ask about it the next day.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the news that "Shen Yongge and Yue Xia had dinner together" was exposed. After dinner, Shen Yongge personally escorted her home, and the two were still "warm" in the car.
Seeing this news, Chen Linru was struck by lightning, and she couldn't imagine that a person who had accompanied her for 10 years would actually do such a thing.
At the same time, she also strengthened her previous idea: Shen Yongge was using her to make money, and did not regard her as a lover at all.
This kind of thinking made Chen Lin feel pain, and the fatigue of work coupled with mental stimulation made Chen Lin knocked down again.
Lying on the hospital bed, Chen Lin washed her face with tears all day, and her worldview, love view, and marriage view were crushed almost overnight.
But no matter how painful it is, she has to accept the reality that once a man changes his heart, everything changes taste.
At the end of 2007, Chen Lin filed for divorce, and the relationship between the two came to an end.
After the divorce, Chen Lin could not let go for a long time, and she began to numb herself by alcohol, often drunk as mud.
Friends around her advised her: You are in such good condition, rich and famous, there is no need to hang yourself from a tree.
However, even if it is not worth it, but the ten years spent together are true, how many decades in a person's life?
Chen Lin couldn't put it down, couldn't throw it away, and could only torture herself.
Just when Chen Lin fell into a dead end, the appearance of a man made her hope again, he was Zhang Chaofeng.
Fifth, replace old love with new love
Zhang Chaofeng is a former colleague of Chen Lin and a person in the music industry, and his job is a guitarist.
When Chen Lin was sad, Zhang Chaofeng cared about her and was considerate, and Chen Lin quickly opened her heart to him.
However, Chen Lin's friends advised her not to get too close to Zhang Chaofeng, his previous reputation was very poor."
There are rumors that Zhang Chaofeng not only uses the company's reputation to take on private work, but also uses the convenience of work to be ambiguous with women, and his temper is very bad, and the people who have worked with him have a very bad evaluation of him.
However, Chen Lin was completely unable to listen to the advice of her friends, and Zhang Chaofeng was a "life-saving straw" for her.
For the injured Chen Lin, what is most needed is care and love, and Zhang Chaofeng's sweet words and gentle consideration just make Chen Lin very at ease.
In July 2009, Chen Lin and Zhang Chaofeng got married with a license, and she said to everyone, "This time we must let the surname Shen look, she will definitely be happy."
However, after marriage, Zhang Chaofeng was like a changed person.
Zhang Chaofeng was more than a teenager younger than Chen Lin, and at first he was willing to coax Chen Lin, but within a few months, he began to get impatient.
Because Chen Lin could not forget Shen Yongge at all, she always compared Zhang Chaofeng with Shen Yongge, and often told her new husband "good memories of Shen Yongge".
And Chen Lin, it was only after marrying Zhang Chaofeng that she always loved Shen Yongge in her heart. As a result, he often recalled the past, which eventually led to Zhang Chaofeng being intolerable.
In fact, if you think about it, any man is not willing to face the fact that "his wife misses his ex", and it is inevitable that he will be angry in his heart.
Zhang Chaofeng demanded that Chen Lin not mention Shen Yongge, nor did he allow Chen Lin to see him again, and even began to monitor Chen Lin's every move.
After that, Chen Lin's colleagues said: For a while, they saw that Chen Lin had a neck injury and asked her how she did not say anything.
In this way, the two unsuitable people had come to an end after only three months together, and the hope in Chen Lin's heart was completely shattered, and she chose the most extreme approach.
On October 31, 2009, Shen Yongge was full of spirits, invited many relatives and friends to hold a birthday party, and was pushing the cup to change the cup, but suddenly received the news that Chen Lin fell to his death.
The day chen Lin jumped off the building and committed suicide happened to be Shen Yongge's birthday, and it also happened to be the 100 days of his marriage with Zhang Chaofeng, such a special day, which made people think about it very carefully.
After Chen Lin's death, her mother was devastated. However, her two husbands have torn each other apart for Chen Lin's inheritance.
Shen Yongge accused: "It was because of Zhang Chaofeng's domestic violence that caused great harm to Chen Lin's spirit, which led to Chen Lin's suicide. ”
Zhang Chaofeng told reporters: "Shen Yongge cheated in marriage, which caused Chen Lin to be greatly hit, and even suffered from depression, even if she was with me for three months, she always remembered Shen Yongge, she committed suicide because of Shen Yongge!" ”
What is even more tragic is that on the day of Chen Lin's burial, neither of them attended, and I don't know if Chen Lin, who knows underground, will be sad and sad?
Soon after, the two came forward again to tear each other apart.
Zhang Chaofeng said: "Shen Yongge hid Chen Lin's tens of millions of assets and deceived Chen Lin's mother. ”
Shen Yongge said: "Zhang Chaofeng took most of Chen Lin's inheritance, and I only took what I deserved. ”
In 2011, Zhang Chaofeng learned that Chen Lin still had a set of properties worth tens of millions of dollars in Shen Yongge's hands, so he sued him in court.
Shen Yongge said: This house was sold to me by Chen Lin's mother many years ago.
Therefore, Zhang Chaofeng took Chen Lin's mother to court on the grounds that Chen Lin's mother sold the property behind his back and maliciously transferred the property.
It was not until Chen Lin's mother took out the "Statement on Renouncing All of Chen Lin's Inheritance" signed by Zhang Chaofeng in court that the lawsuit came to an end.
It turned out that after Chen Lin jumped off a building to commit suicide, Zhang Chaofeng was forced to sign this statement in order to get rid of the public opinion of the outside world, so as to prove that it was not because of his own reasons that Chen Lin died.
At this point, the various farces caused by Chen Lin's suicide were finally over. From beginning to end, Chen Lin's mother only wanted the police to find the real cause of her daughter's death, that's all.
Now 12 years later, the name Chen Lin has long become the memory of a generation, and the absurd past has gradually been forgotten by people with the passage of time.
I hope that Chen Lin, who is in heaven, can not be disturbed by these mundane things and chase her musical dreams with peace of mind.
