Gao Katsumi with her mother, brother and sister
Gao Shengmei was born in 1969 in Fengshan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province, the son of a village policeman and his mother working as a farmer at home. Gao Shengmei's mother is a Bunun ethnic group from Taoyuan Township, Kaohsiung City, and her father is Han Chinese, and Gao Shengmei has two older brothers and an older sister.
At 1.64 meters tall, Katsumi Takashi weighs less than 90 pounds and is small and exquisite, like a cute doll.
When gao Shengmei was a child, her family was economically poor, and the whole family of 6 lived on her father's meager salary. Gao Shengmei and her sister Gao Qianping have a good voice, Gao Qianping went to sing in a song hall in Taipei after graduating from high school, earning money to subsidize her mother's family and help her brother marry her daughter-in-law.
Under the influence of her sister, Gao Shengmei was also fascinated by singing. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the Huashi singing training class. Two years later, Gao Shengmei graduated from the training class with honors and signed a contract with Taiwan's famous Shanghua Music Company to become its singer.
At that time, the company's contract with Gao Shengmei was like this: for every music album she released, the company gave her 100,000 Taiwan dollars. For a little girl who came to the city from the countryside to work hard, NT$100,000 was an astronomical amount in her eyes, and Gao Shengmei signed a contract with the company with a grateful heart.
After getting the first payment, Gao Shengmei gave all the money to his mother, and the family's economic conditions suddenly changed completely. Gao Shengmei found that her mother went out to buy vegetables and no longer had to bargain with the vendors to be ridiculed. My father's waist bar was also straight, and my parents no longer had to stumble over money.
In 1989, Gao Shengmei became famous for singing the theme song of the same name from Qiong Yao's drama "Seagulls Flying in the Clouds". At that time, Gao Shengmei became the company's most profitable artist, and produced more than 40 music albums in 8 years, known as "Teresa Teresa Second".
Because it was too popular, Gao Shengmei also became the royal singer of Qiong Yao opera, and the theme song of "Dumb Wife" "Speechless Asking the Heavens", "Righteous Sea Love Heaven", "Three Flowers" interlude "If The Sky Is Love And The Sky Is Old", "The Theme Song of Wangfu Cliff" "Love Hope Fu Cliff", etc., are all all the rage.

In those years, the audience turned on the TV set after dinner, and the TV series played in it had theme songs or interludes sung by Gao Shengmei, and she also won the reputation of "High Eight Points".
In addition to singing a large number of original songs, Gao Shengmei's cover of "Crying Sand" and "Last Night's Stars" and other golden songs are more popular with fans than the original songs. Taxi drivers in Hong Kong and Taiwan often listen to gao shengmei's songs while driving, and gao shengmei has won the reputation of "driver's friend".

As a popular singer, in the imagination of the outside world, Gao Shengmei should have a good income, but the real situation is somewhat bleak: when he signed a contract with the company, Gao Shengmei only received 100,000 Taiwan dollars for every album launched, and did not have a penny of royalty income.
Gao Shengmei signed a 13-year contract with Shanghua Music Company, and in this long 13 years, Gao Shengmei released 58 solo albums and lost tens of millions of yuan in royalty income.
At that time, Gao Shengmei also had very few commercial performances, and the economic conditions were the worst among a group of singers in Taiwan, and some of them were far less famous than hers, and they were richer than Gao Shengmei.
Gao Shengmei is simple and kind, and feels that It is Shanghua Music Company that has cultivated itself, not only has no complaints, but has a grateful heart.

Gao Shengmei's "Unforgettable" album
In 1999, the contract with Shanghua Music Company expired, and Gao Shengmei did not renew his contract, but joined the famous Qi Wei Records Company in Taiwan. Two years later, the company released her 59th solo album "Unforgettable Heart", but it did not cause any repercussions, and Gao Shengmei's career began to decline.
After 2004, Gao Shengmei shifted her career to the mainland and bought a house in Shanghai's Hongqiao district. The mainland market is far larger than that of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Gao Shengmei has 20 performances a month, and the annual after-tax income is as high as tens of millions of yuan. Since then, Gao Shengmei has been developing in the mainland and has not returned to Taiwan.
Gao Shengmei had an unforgettable failed relationship, and her ex-boyfriend was named Chen Xinzhong, who was 5 years younger than her. Mr. Chen and Gao Shengmei are fellow countrymen, and Gao Shengmei and his sister are middle school classmates.
Chen Xinzhong has 6 older sisters, and he is the youngest child in the family. After graduating from vocational school, Chen Xinzhong opened a bakery and later worked as a chef at a four-star hotel in Taipei. When Gao Shengmei and his sister gathered, Mr. Chen made love to her at a glance, and then began a crazy pursuit of Gao Shengmei.
Everyone felt unreliable because the gap between the two was too big. Even Mr. Chen's sister said that his brother was delusional, but he just wanted to go black on the road of love.
In the following days, as long as Gao Shengmei returned to Taipei after the performance, Mr. Chen took time to visit her. Gao Shengmei's taste is spicy, and Mr. Chen learned to cook Sichuan cuisine, often making food for Gao Shengmei. Gao Shengmei likes to drink nutritious soup, Mr. Chen also learned to cook Cantonese-style soup, and he also taught Gao Shengmei to make milk tea and mix cocktails.
To love someone, first conquer the other person's stomach. Gao Shengmei was gradually touched by Mr. Chen's enthusiasm and delicacy in life, and he also had a good feeling for him. Although Mr. Chen is younger than himself, he has a mature mentality, has an opinion on things, and is very independent economically and psychologically, and Mr. Chen is still a handsome man.
In 1999, Gao Shengmei and Chen Xinzhong established a romantic relationship.

After the exposure of the two "sister-brother love", public opinion was in an uproar, and 95% of fans felt unreliable, believing that the gap between the two was too big, and this love could not go far.
Gao Shengmei's parents and family also expressed their opposition, Gao Shengmei said: "I have financial strength myself, looking for a boyfriend does not seek fame and profit, just to see if he is suitable for me, whether we are happy together." The initiative in love is in the hands of Gao Shengmei, and her parents and family have to respect her choice.
In 2000, after the relationship between the two stabilized, Mr. Chen quit his job as a hotel chef and worked as an agent for Gao Shengmei. In 2004, Gao Shengmei shifted the focus of her career to the mainland, and the two jointly funded a house in Shanghai's Hongqiao District, and the marriage was on the agenda.
Because Gao Shengmei was not familiar with the mainland, he found another agent named Jiang Ge, and Chen Xinzhong took care of Gao Shengmei's business in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Because the performance was busy, the two had not been able to find time to discuss marriage.
However, Gao Shengmei is in the mainland, Mr. Chen is in Taiwan, because there are fewer and more, and their feelings have gradually weakened. Coupled with the age difference and the collision brought about by different identities, the two hearts began to have a distance.
In 2010, Gao Shengmei broke up with Mr. Chen. She returned mr. Chen's purchase price to him, along with interest. Chen Xinzhong felt that Gao Shengmei was a kind and upright person, and there was no resentment towards her, only deep blessings.
Since then, some people have introduced objects to Gao Shengmei, some are wealth elites, some have identity and status, but Gao Shengmei does not value these objects, and some do not even meet them. At the age of 40, her choice is getting narrower and narrower, and Gao Shengmei is single day by day.
Although she is single, Gao Shengmei lives happily and fully, she has a performance, and she has no worries about food and clothing. After settling in Shanghai, she loved the cosmopolitan metropolis more and more, and felt that its convenience and prosperity were superb, and Shanghai had become Gao Shengmei's second hometown.
She now spends far more time in Shanghai than in Taiwan, and as soon as Gao Shengmei returns to Taiwan, she promotes Shanghai, introduces relatives and friends to travel in the past, and brings snacks from the Shanghai City God Temple to relatives and friends.
Gao Shengmei also has a life plan: if she gets married in the future, it is best to find a Shanghai man, who plans to end up in Shanghai in this life.
In September 2021, Gao Shengmei was still unmarried and single after 11 years of breaking up with chef's little boyfriend Chen Xinzhong.
