Born in a small county on the border of Xinjiang, he became famous in the "CCTV Youth Song Contest" in 2000, with a song "Western Song" a blockbuster.
The sweet dimples and the "boundless" high note are deeply imprinted in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers. This person is Wang Hongwei of the "Western Song King".
01 Young "Lost Father"
In 1964, due to the needs of his father's work, Wang Hongwei and his family came to live in a small village in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Wang Hongwei, whose ancestral home is in Wen County, Henan Province, only "landed" in Wenquan County, Xinjiang, in 1968.
His father was a soldier and his mother worked in agriculture. Wang Hongwei has four brothers and sisters, and the living conditions at home are very poor.
Unfortunately, when he was three and a half years old, his father died of illness, and his mother was still more than five months pregnant.
Wang Hongwei hours
The death of his father made the already poor family worse.
Wang Hongwei's mother, Li Xiulan, was alone with her stomach and pulling on four young children. Colleagues and relatives and friends saw her working so hard and advised her to give up the child in her belly and marry instead to find a man she could rely on.
Although Li Xiulan was sad and sad, she did not hesitate to refuse the suggestions of her relatives and friends, and her mother's instinct told her that she could not give up the children in her belly, at which time she had secretly resolved to raise these five children alone.
At that time, Wang Hongwei's eldest sister was only 10 years old, and there was no one who could help Li Xiulan, and at that time, she even had difficulty taking care of herself. But this did not bring down the strong mother, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Not long after Li Xiulan gave birth to her youngest daughter, she returned to work on a farm in Wenquan County, Xinjiang, relying on her meager salary alone to support a large family. Even though life was hard, she insisted that Wang Hongwei go to school, and the idea of nurturing her children to become talents never left this mother's heart.
Enthusiastic colleagues will also give Li Xiulan zhang luo object from time to time, and Wang Hongwei, who is already somewhat sensible, sees that he is sad in his heart but also knows that this is a good thing for his mother, and can only silently shed tears.
This was all in Li Xiulan's eyes, she knew that once she remarried, these five children must suffer, so she decisively rejected the kindness of her colleagues, and told her colleagues that it was impossible to remarry in this life, and since then no one has arranged a blind date for her.
Li Xiulan never treats her children stingily, but she is never willing to give up on herself.
Once, because she was still early and late in the cold moon, she soon had a cold and fever, and she didn't even have the strength to speak, but she just refused to go to the hospital, just to save this money for the children, so she lasted for three days, and her condition improved.
When Wang Hongwei saw his mother suffering like this, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely have a good life in the future and let his mother live a better life.
Although life is difficult, Li Xiulan will never wronged her children in learning, as long as they are willing to learn, she will definitely try her best to help children.
When Wang Hongwei was in junior high school, he liked to sing, so he asked Li Xiulan for money to buy a radio, and she had no money on hand, and she turned over the peanuts that had been left in the ground in the cold winter of minus tens of degrees.
In order to find these peanuts, her hands were full of frostbite, and her cheeks were also blue and red, so she bought a radio for her son by relying on these peanuts.
Li Xiulan saw that her son was serious about learning, and she tried her best to create opportunities for him to learn, as long as there was a cultural troupe of the corps to perform in the local area, no matter how far away it was and what the weather was, she would take Wang Hongwei to the scene to observe.
Although she has not conducted special singing training, Li Xiulan has confidence in her son, and she often encourages her son not to be confined to this narrow place, but one day to go to the wider sky to achieve his ideals.
Li Hongwei wrote down his mother's words and never dared to be half slack in singing, and he also longed to go to a more external world.
In 1987, wang Hongwei, who was already 16 years old, successfully passed the special recruitment and became a projectionist in the army.
He learned to sing while playing movies for the troops in the regiment, and as soon as he had time, he ran to the company to learn vocal music with the teacher, and did not forget to learn culture lessons.
Wang Hongwei also studied Henan Yu opera with his mother Li Xiulan, and his singing voice was very accurate, and he soon engaged in professional singing work and became a professional actor in the Xinjiang National Song and Dance Troupe.
In 1990, Wang Hongwei, who did not live up to his mother's expectations, successfully entered the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts in Beijing and received professional vocal training.
After professional training, Wang Hongwei sang even stronger, he participated in four sessions of the Young Singer Competition hosted by CCTV, and the previous sessions always stopped at excellent singers and missed the Gold Award.
Many people generally choose to give up when they encounter such a situation, but he never has the idea of giving up, as long as he does not win the gold medal, he has been participating.
In fact, it is difficult for him to win the championship in this competition, and all the people who come to participate in it have undergone special systematic training since childhood, and their singing skills are all first-class.
Wang Hongwei, who has not undergone rigorous training for a long time, must work twice as hard as others to win the final victory.
Every competition did not make him lose confidence, for him these are all experiences to learn, for the competition, he also often participates in performances on weekdays, practicing singing skills diligently.
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, in 2000, at the fourth young singer competition, an original song "Western Song" completely conquered all the judges present, successfully won the championship, and won the gold award.
But how many people know that behind this success is his countless painstaking practices?
Wang Hongwei, who has become famous, wants to honor his mother more than to start a family, and at this time, with stronger economic strength, he also has more confidence to do filial piety to his mother, and his mother also always thinks about his son, hoping that he can get married and stabilize.
02 The marriage partner wants the mother to like
In 1993, Wang Hongwei, who officially graduated from college, returned to the Military Region Literary and Labor Troupe as a singing actor, and gave almost all the wages and allowances he earned to his mother, just to reduce the burden on the family, and he gave his younger siblings money to go to school.
In 2000, the heroic and enthusiastic "Western Song" was all the rage, and Wang Hongwei also quickly became popular, and he never gave up his dream of becoming a singer.
Later, when he was transferred to the Beijing General Political Affairs Song and Dance Troupe as a soloist, he studied for graduate school while working, and his kung fu paid off, and he was admitted to the Vocal Music Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts and became a graduate student.
In 2006, the 35-year-old Wang Hongwei was still alone, although he was not in a hurry to break his mother Li Xiulan, and when he saw him, he could not help but urge him to find a girlfriend.
Wang Hongwei knew his mother's good intentions, and privately entrusted people to live with each other, and there was only one condition: that is, after marriage, he must accept his mother to live with them.
Many women are not willing to live with their mother-in-law after marriage, even if Wang Hongwei's own conditions are very superior, he is not very able to accept this condition, and over time, the marriage event will not be over. Li Xiulan was very remorseful after learning about this incident, believing that she was dragging down her son.
Wang Hongwei did not feel so, from childhood to adulthood, if it were not for his mother's care, he would not have achieved what he has now.
He firmly believes that if a person cannot even take care of his own mother, then his future life will not be very happy, he chooses to continue to wait, there will always be a person who can understand his thoughts, then they will form a happy family.
In 2008, the elderly Li Xiulan suddenly fainted at home due to diabetes, and was sent to the hospital for treatment in time, and the condition was controlled, but Wang Hongwei was still not at ease to leave his mother alone at home, and decided to take his mother to live in Beijing.
Li Xiulan did not want to be a burden to her son, and could only cope with the reason that he was in a hurry to start a family. Wang Hongwei, who knew his mother's thoughts earlier, immediately told his mother that he already had a girlfriend, her name was Yang Shanshan, she was an empathetic girl, and she also accepted her own requests.
Hearing this, Li Xiulan put down the stone in her heart and went to Beijing with her son.
Yang Shanshan and Wang Hongwei
Wang Hongwei's wife, Yang Shanshan, born in Nanjing in 1981, came from a well-to-do family, obtained a doctorate in piano from studying abroad at a young age, and is a teacher at the Affiliated Middle School of the Central Conservatory of Music, not only beautiful, but also plays the piano well, known as China's "piano princess".
Yang Shanshan
When Wang Hongwei first met Yang Shanshan, he was attracted to this talented woman, but when he thought that he was ten years older than her, he deeply felt that he was not worthy of her, and he also realized that she could not look at herself.
But Yang Shanshan did not think so, she was very fond of this kind and promising man, and the intermediary was willing to continue to talk, but wang Hongwei, who was ashamed of himself, did not have the courage to meet and go to the appointment, so the yin and yang mistakes never met again, but the intentions of the two gradually became clear.
Until the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the two finally met again because of the condolence performance.
Here, Wang Hongwei experienced at close range that life and death, human life is so small in front of nature, he felt a lot, decided to pluck up the courage to confess to Yang Shanshan.
So he wrote a confession text message, Yang Shanshan actually had a secret wish, and quickly accepted the confession, and the two were naturally together.
The two people who are in harmony with each other in spirit and spirit get along very well, and they choose to get married for less than three months, and Wang Hongwei's lifelong event finally landed.
03 Mother's kindness and filial piety
Wang Hongwei often tells his wife about when she was a child, his mother lost her husband at the age of 32, pulling five children alone, and how much heartache and pain only she knows.
Yang Shanshan was very touched every time she heard his story, and she also wanted to be filial to this not easy mother-in-law.
Yang Shanshan, who is distressed about her husband, is particularly filial to her mother-in-law, never lets her mother-in-law do a little housework at home, and often tells her mother-in-law that this is her home, and she wants to buy anything directly.
The daughter-in-law's sincerity made Li Xiulan very moved, and she also treated her daughter-in-law as a daughter in her heart.
In 2012, Yang Shanshan gave birth to a lovely daughter, named Wang Ziyin, which made the 41-year-old Wang Hongwei happy and broken, liu Xiulan was even more in love with her granddaughter, although she invited an aunt, she still did everything herself, and took good care of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
Yang Shanshan, who recovered after giving birth, returned to school to teach, and sometimes took students home to learn piano, Li Xiulan felt that her daughter-in-law was very hard, always silently prepared fruit snacks, and never had conflicts with her daughter-in-law for some trivial things, Yang Shanshan felt the warmth of her mother in her, and her heart was very satisfied.
Young Li Xiulan likes to sing and dance, but for the children have not touched again, Wang Hongwei and his wife remember the preferences of the old people, as long as there is a performance in Beijing, the husband and wife will pay their own money to invite their mother to see the performance, and also specially bought an annual pass at the Grand Theater in Beijing, just to enrich the mother's old age.
To say that Wang Hongwei can have such an achievement today, a big reason is because of his mother.
"You raise me small, I raise you old." Wang Hongwei and his wife's filial piety to Li Xiulan set a good example for young children. On weekdays, children are very filial and sensible to several elders in the family, which makes several adults very satisfied and loving.
Positive and upward, these behaviors are deeply engraved in Wang Hongwei's heart, he will always be humble and courteous to his elders, face difficulties and stand in the eyes of others to see the problem, always with a kind heart.
Under the careful care of the husband and wife, Li Xiulan's diabetes gradually improved, and Wang Hongwei was afraid of his mother's loneliness, and began to plan to find an old partner for his mother.
Once, he went to the nursing home to give a condolence performance, saw that many elderly people in it had another half, and then recalled that his mother had always been alone, and his heart was even more firm in this idea.
But Li Xiulan herself firmly disagreed, when she was young, she had survived such a hard day, and now that the children have become a family, she is even more reluctant to find a wife, and she is also used to living alone, and suddenly one more person is not comfortable.
Wang Hongwei was overwhelmed by his mother's resolute attitude, or his wife comforted him, his mother has her own ideas, she likes the current way of life, we should support and respect, can not "force" the elderly to live according to our ideas.
Hearing his wife's words, Wang Hongwei let go of the worries in his heart and chose to obey his mother's thoughts.
Now Wang Hongwei's family of three has to take their mother with them wherever they go, and the picture they often see is that his wife is holding her daughter, and he is holding her mother.
Sometimes Li Xiulan was very reluctant to go, feeling that she had disturbed her son's family and did not want him to hold himself, but Wang Hongwei instead held her hand tighter and intimately told her, "I don't know how proud I am to have a mother like you, how can I feel trouble."
Wang Hongwei himself was born poor, entered the army at the age of 16, and eventually became an excellent singer in the song and dance troupe, and every step of growth during this period was inseparable from the help and support of comrades-in-arms and leaders around him.
It is precisely because it is not easy to go all the way, and after becoming famous, I am more eager to repay the society and help more people. He actively participated in various social practices and went to various revolutionary base areas, disaster areas, and remote areas to give condolence performances.
In his heart, he is not only a singer but also a soldier, he wants to show a soldier's fiery love for the motherland with songs and performances, just as he himself said, he must do things seriously and be a down-to-earth person.
His kindness and excellent character have been recognized by many people. Since being named the national "poverty alleviation ambassador" in 2008, every year since then, he has been doing low-key public welfare, caring for green culture, calling on the public to protect the environment, saving water, calling for attention to women and children, etc. He has won the title of ambassador many times, and has really repaid the society and the country with actions for several years.
Wang Hongwei has had many songs in his lifetime, and he has become popular all over the country with his moving singing, but he has never had any scandals, and has always lived his life in a low profile, with a graduate degree.
Now he rarely appears under the lens of CCTV, and everyone thinks that he has completely retired, but in fact, he is the current Tianjin Conservatory of Music, assuming administrative positions.
Wang Hongwei is a very family-oriented person, usually in addition to work, he gives time to his family, in his heart there is nothing more important than accompanying his family.
Li Xiulan now lives in Beijing with her son Wang Hongwei, but occasionally misses her other children in Xinjiang.
Wang Hongwei knew that his mother was very anxious, and every holiday, he would help his brothers and sisters book tickets to come to Beijing to reunite with their mother. A large family chatting and reminiscing together and having a reunion dinner is the best gift that children can give to their mothers.
Now, Li Xiulan is more than eighty years old, and the filial piety of her son and daughter-in-law has given this mother who has worked hard all her life a happy old age.
She now looks very good, open-minded and optimistic, not at all like the old man who has reached the old age, she is very grateful to her son, and always says that thanks to his blessings, she can live to this age today.
In fact, she did not know that in Wang Hongwei's heart, his mother's good health and happy mood were the greatest comforts he had worked hard for many years, and without his mother's selfless dedication, he would not have today's self, and this reward was nothing at all.
I wish Wang Hongwei's family good health and happiness.
