Speaking of singer Chen Lin, many post-80s fans should be impressed by her.
She was once the most individual singer in the mainland music scene, and her fame was close to that of Na Ying and Tian Zhen.
But Chen Lin's career highlights are extremely short, wearing red shoes and jumping to death at a friend's house, being competed for inheritance by two husbands, and informed reporters saying "kill her to death" for the cause of her death, which makes Chen Lin's experience full of legend.
Looking back at Chen Lin's short 39 years of life, her story is far more tragic than you think.
One
In 1970, Chen Lin was born in an ordinary family in Fengjie County, Chongqing.
His father worked at the Textile Research Institute and his mother taught at the school for his children.
Because there are two brothers above, Chen Lin is also the youngest child in the family.
Due to factors such as her parents' work, Chen Lin was fostered in someone else's home from ten months.
It wasn't until she was in elementary school that Chen Lin moved with her parents to the vicinity of Qixinggang in the urban area.
It was also here that Chen Lin and her friends spent a happy childhood.
Because the parents are all Peking Opera fans, therefore, unlike other children,
Every time other people's families go to the zoo on weekends, Chen Lin will go to see Peking Opera.
Over time, Chen Lin, who was born with a super high artistic cell, also showed her musical talent.
She not only often sang "Fishing and Killing the Family" with her father at home, but also listened to her mother's arrangement and learned the piano.
In 1985, at the age of 15, Chen Lin was admitted to the Sichuan Provincial Dance Academy (now the secondary school affiliated to the Sichuan Vocational College of Arts).
After 3 years of professional study in quyi, Chen Lin entered the Sichuan Provincial Quyi Troupe as a qingyin soloist.

Chen Lin in the qu art troupe, with her unique voice, soon became famous in the local area.
Influenced by singer Su Rui, Chen Lin has had a dream of being a singer since she was a child.
Therefore, Chen Lin was in the qu art troupe during the day, and at night she ran to the bar and song hall as a resident singer.
During the period of singing, Chen Lin often cooperated with a band called "Dark Horse".
Later, the band members went to Beijing and formed the "Compass" band with musicians from other places.
As for Chen Lin's performance in the song hall at that time, keyboardist Guo Liang once recalled that Chen Lin already had a fixed fan.
Every time she went, the fans went wherever they went, including her nickname being "Little Suri".
With just this remark, it is easy to see how popular Chen Lin, who has not yet debuted, is.
In 1991, after producer Wang Xiaojing helped Cui Jian complete his first solo concert and second solo album,
He set up a record company called Xingdi, and he also gathered Na Ying, Luo Qi and other musicians to prepare for a big show in Beijing.
And Chen Lin met Wang Xiaojing through Luo Qi.
Under the persuasion of Wang Xiaojing, Chen Lin arrived in Beijing with the dream of releasing an album.
But when she first arrived in Beijing, Chen Lin did not have much good feelings, after all, the weather in Beijing was dry, and the food was not used to eating.
Most importantly, Chen Lin needed to repeatedly learn song recordings in a short period of time, and she had no freedom at all.
The only thing that deserves Chen Lin's happiness is that every weekend there are rock bands performing locally.
It was also here that Chen Lin heard the "Compass" band singing "Your Tenderness I Never Understand".
Speaking of this song, the story behind it is also quite tortuous,
In the early days of the creation of this song, it was originally created by Wang Xiaojing and the lyricist Luo Bing for Na Ying.
But because Na Ying was dug up by Huang Xiaomao to Taiwan's Fumao Records, this fell to the head of Luo Qi of the "compass".
However, after Chen Lin listened to this song, she has always remembered this song.
Therefore, Chen Lin found Wang Xiaojing and told her love for this work.
Including after the album recording, Chen Lin also took the initiative to ask for an audition of this song,
It was also after Chen Lin finished singing that Wang Xiaojing found that her voice line could highlight the advantages of this song.
In this way, this work finally replaced Chen Lin's originally recorded work.
"Your Tenderness I Never Understand" has also become the title song of Chen Lin's new album.
Three
After the release of "Your Tenderness I Never Understand", it sold 1.5 million copies.
Once Chen Lin went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and found a big brother of a pork stall.
While holding a kitchen knife to cut meat, humming this song,
From then on, Chen Lin realized that she was really red.
However, the cooperation between Chen Lin and Wang Xiaojing did not advance in a bright light.
In 1995, Chen Lin and Wang Xiaojing terminated their contract.
The specific reason is that in the environment where the recording industry was not clear and standardized at that time,
There is a general sense of mutual distrust between singers and record companies,
This also led to Chen Lin, "Compass" and other singers have left Wang Xiaojing.
But the reason why Chen Lin decided to leave Wang Xiaojing was also another factor, that is, Shen Yongge.
At the end of 1994, Shen Yongge, who was still a senior executive at JVC Company, went to Shenyang Gymnasium to watch a performance.
Shen Yongge originally went to the two bands of "Black Panther" and "Reincarnation",
But I didn't think about it, and I accidentally saw Chen Lin's stage at the concert.
Shen Yongge saw at a glance the specialness of this girl, as well as the energy contained in her body.
After the performance, Shen Yongge attended the celebration banquet held by the organizers.
Coincidentally, he was just arranged to sit next to Chen Lin.
The two chatted very intensively at the dinner table, and before the dinner was over, Shen Yongge plucked up the courage to get Chen Lin's phone.
At that time, Chen Lin and Wang Xiaojing were in the stage of ideological conflict.
Shen Yongge's appearance was like a ray of sunshine shining on Chen Lin's heart.
At the beginning of 1996, Shen Yongge, who ran away from the original company and went it alone, established Bamboo Book Culture.
He also signed Chen Lin, the "Black Panther" band, and the "reincarnation" band one after another.
Most importantly, his relationship with Chen Lin went further, and the two secretly obtained the certificate.
After that, Shen Yongge spent a lot of effort to praise Chen Lin, and released his second album "Afraid to Fall in Love with You" in the same year.
In the years that followed, Shen Yongge produced and released six albums for Chen Lin.
Among these albums, there are many masterpieces such as "Love is Love", "Go Away", "Don't Be Afraid of Me", "Rolling Eyelashes" and so on.
At the same time, Chen Lin has not only won many important awards in the music industry,
She has also performed as a pop singer in Austria, Malaysia and other places.

With the prosperity of the career, the gap between Chen Lin and Shen Yongge has become deeper and deeper.
Chen Lin has never been a very ambitious singer,
Therefore, for a long time, she was passively moving forward with Shen Yongge.
Until one year, Chen Lin coughed up blood during recording.
After a thorough examination, although no other diseases were found,
But doctors also advised her not to continue working long hours and high-intensity, hoping that she would rest.
After Chen Lin realized that there was something wrong with her body, she discussed her ideas with Shen Yongge for the first time.
But to her disappointment, Shen Yongge ostensibly agreed, but the work announcement never stopped.
In 2006, the 36-year-old Chen Lin returned to her hometown of Chongqing after completing the notice in her hand.
She tried to recuperate for a few months before continuing her acting career.
But Chen Lin did not expect that when she returned to Beijing, the outside world took a photo of Shen Yongge dating singer Yue Xia.
Yue Xia is a newly signed singer of Bamboo Book Culture, for work reasons,
For her husband's contact with the other party, Chen Lin did not think too much.
But at that time, Chen Lin had already dragged out depression because of various physical factors.
In addition, her husband Shen Yongge has never really been considerate of himself,
Over time, Chen Lin's condition also became worse and worse.
In 2008, after separating from Shen Yongge for half a year, Chen Lin filed for divorce.
At the same time, she did not renew the bamboo book culture and officially parted ways with Shen Yongge.
For a period of time after the marriage change, Chen Lin almost sought death,
But during this time, another man named Zhang Chaofeng appeared in Chen Lin's life.
He comforted and helped Chen Lin again and again, arousing Chen Lin's confidence in life.
Chen Lin also gradually discovered that Zhang Chaofeng was the person she was most worthy of love.
In July 2009, Chen Lin and Zhang Chaofeng registered their marriage in Chengdu.

In fact, Chen Lin has known Zhang Chaofeng for a long time, and he was an assistant producer of Bamboo Book Culture from 2002 to 2005.
During his time with Chen Lin, he also served as a stage guitarist for Chen Lin many times.
However, Zhang Chaofeng's reputation has always been very bad,
A few years ago, Zhang Chaofeng was caught up in the case of taking over the production of private records in the name of the company.
Later, including the production of Liang Dahai's album "Crystal Love",
Zhang Chaofeng did not try his best to produce due to the collection of money, and was often dissatisfied by customers, resulting in his poor popularity in the music circle.
Most importantly, in 2005, Zhang Chaofeng reported that he deliberately approached Chen Lin in the name of teaching guitar due to poor economic conditions.
Later, there were also revelations that in order to get close to Chen Lin, he dumped his girlfriend who had been in love for 8 years.
However, these rumors from the outside world did not affect Chen Lin's choice.
At least, until the moment he decided to marry Zhang Chaofeng, it had always been so.
After a month of marriage, Chen Lin went on a trip with her friends.
She meant to relax, but her depressed mood did not improve.
On October 30, 2009, Chen Lin gathered with Zhang Qiang and Gao Mingjun and his wife.
At night, she stayed at Zhang Qiang's home in Building 701, Phase III, Dongba Olympic Garden, Beijing.
I thought it was just an ordinary party, but the next night,
Chen Lin suddenly jumped down from the balcony of Zhang Qiang's home, only 39 years old.
It was not until 6 a.m. on November 1 that it was discovered by the cleaning cleaners.
On the day of Chen Lin's death, the media reported that the deceased was wearing a mask and wearing red leather shoes.
That day not only happened to be the birthday of Chen Lin's ex-husband Shen Yongge, but also the anniversary of Chen Lin's 100-day marriage with Zhang Chaofeng.
Six
The special day when Chen Lin died undoubtedly made the outside world think and speculate continuously.
The biggest conjecture was that Chen Lin was trapped by love.
There are also voices that Chen Lin's relationship with her current husband Zhang Chaofeng is very poor, and the two often quarrel,
Insiders broke the news that Zhang Chaofeng was suspected of domestic violence.
However, the autopsy report came out later, showing that although Chen Lin was injured, it was actually caused by her self-harm.
On the other hand, Gao Mingjun's wife Xiaomei was interviewed and recalled that she had accompanied Chen Lin to wenyu River to see wild ducks the day before.
When she was in Wenyu River, Chen Lin confided in her little sister,
She said that during this time, no matter her life or marriage, she really had a very bad life.
Most importantly, she also personally told her little sister that she had thought of taking her own life.
After some consolation, Chen Lin's mood looked much better at the time.
"We were glad we helped her, pulled her aside, and as a result, there was an accident in the night." Little sister said.
Gao Mingjun's wife's words seem to explain that the reason for Chen Lin's suicide is depression.
However, shortly after Chen Lin's death, a reporter posted on social platforms that
There are a lot of things that make people's scalps tingle, "it's terrible"!
Subsequently, some media interviewed this reporter,
But the reporter said, "You can't say it when you kill!" ”
In all these years, this reporter never revealed half a sentence,
Regarding the cause of Chen Lin's death, he was actually speculating,
Or is there really something hard to say, none of us know.
But it is also worth mentioning that after Chen Lin's death,
Chen Lin's mother said in an interview that her daughter had expressed to her that she regretted divorcing Shen Yongge.
At the same time, Chen's mother revealed that Chen Lin said that she would divorce Zhang Chaofeng after returning to Beijing.
Seven
In the days after Chen Lin's death, Chen Lin's ex-husband Shen Yongge and the current Zhang Chaofeng,
They have all expressed their sad feelings, especially Zhang Chaofeng,
During an interview with him, he briefly said he was confused and his brain was blank.
Shen Yongge and Zhang Chaofeng, each holding a memorial service for Chen Lin,
At Shen Yongge's memorial service,
Chen Lin finally "arrived" at the starlight scene stage of her dreams.
Including Na Ying, Han Hong, Yang Kun, Man Wenjun, Yu Quan, Zhang Yadong, Song Ke, Huang Xiaomao and other more than 100 friends in Chen Lin's circle, there were more than 100 friends in the circle.
The scene also allowed Chen Lin and Yang Kun to complete the chorus through video recording.
On the other hand, Chen Lin's husband Zhang Chaofeng held a memorial service at BabaoShan,
Mother Chen and her ex-husband Shen Yongge did not show up.
Zhang Chaofeng arrived with a bouquet of flowers, tears in the corners of his eyes.
It seems that whether it is ex-husband Shen Yongge or the current Zhang Chaofeng,
They were all quite reluctant about Chen Lin's departure, and their feelings seemed to be full of sincerity.
But in fact, on the day of Chen Lin's burial, neither of them attended.
And, just two years later, everything has taken a huge turn.
In 2011, Zhang Chaofeng suddenly attacked,
He told the media that Shen Yongge had seized Chen Lin's house of more than 200 square meters in Beijing.
He demanded that Shen Yongge must return this set of inheritance worth tens of millions to himself and Chen Lin's mother.
For this matter, ex-husband Shen Yongge said,
"After Chen Lin died, she had already handed over the house to Chen Lin's mother for handling, and she had not taken any money for the house."
After that, it was the two people who tore each other apart, Zhang Chaofeng said that Shen Yongge occupied the house, and Shen Yongge said that Chen Mu sold it to himself.
After that, Zhang Chaofeng even sued Mother Chen in court, on the grounds that she was also the heir and that Mother Chen was maliciously transferring the inheritance.
In short, in the final analysis, this matter is that Zhang Chaofeng and Shen Yongge do not want to let go of Chen Lin's legacy.
However, after Mother Chen announced the "Declaration of Renunciation of Inheritance" signed by Zhang Chaofeng that year,
This matter finally came to an end under the disturbing emotions,
It turned out that Zhang Chaofeng signed such a statement in order to prove that Chen Lin's death had nothing to do with him.
Eight
After Chen Lin's death for so many years, in addition to the inheritance dispute,
Neither Shen Yongge nor Zhang Chaofeng had any subsequent association with her.
In comparison, only those real fans,
At an important time, he would choose to visit Chen Lin at the cemetery.
Previously, some netizens posted photos in front of Chen Lin's tomb,
There are flowers on it and the surroundings are cleaned.
And Chen Lin on the tombstone is wearing a hat and holding a guitar,
She seems to be performing her own work on stage, as always.
Time flew by, and it was almost Chen Lin's death day,
I believe that whether it is a fan or Chen Lin's family,
Will be on the day of remembrance, with a pious heart,
Take a good look at Chen Lin,
I also believe that Chen Lin, who is far away in heaven,
Seeing that there are so many people who love her and remember her,
I'm sure I'll be relieved.
As for the rest, the good and the bad,
Or the so-called truth, in fact, it is no longer important.
