In the 1980s and 1990s, the Chinese music scene was a fight between the gods and immortals, although most of them have now retired and rarely hear from them again. Among them, many of them have completely changed their lives due to changes in the heyday of their careers, and Tianhou Chen Shuhua is one of them, who suffered mental and physical blows at the peak of her career, quit the music scene, and even now there is news of her dementia.
Now when Chen Shuhua is mentioned, many people don't know who she is, but her classic songs are still KTV must-have tracks, such as "Waking Up from Dreams", "Rolling Red Dust", "Ask", etc., these big red songs are sung by her.
Chen Shuhua's singing strength is half talent, half is hard work, born in 1958, participated in the children's singing competition at the age of 8 and won the championship, signed a company at the age of 9, and released a personal album at the age of 15.
Chen Shuhua did not disappoint, at the age of 24, she released the "Sunset with Me" solo album, which became one of the best-selling albums in Taiwan that year; "Tell You To Listen to You" became the first album record in the history of Taiwanese music to break millions of sales, the title song "When Dreaming and Waking Up" was popular all over the country, and it has been called Taiwan's highest-grossing song together with Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye".
At that time, Chen Shuhua was a shining singing superstar, not only continued to produce personal albums, but also achieved great results, and many big names in the music industry invited her to cooperate. Very early on, Li Zongsheng has always admired her very much and written songs and made albums for her; Luo Dayou asked her to sing "Rolling Red Dust"; Jackie Chan invited her to sing "Clearly Understand My Heart" when he sang for the first time.
To say the name of "Tianhou", Chen Shuhua is absolutely worthy. Since she was a child, she has shown her talent in singing, coupled with Chen Shuhua's mother's careful cultivation of her since childhood, Chen Shuhua can be said to have today's achievements can be said to be inseparable from her mother. However, for Chen Shuhua, her success is inseparable from her mother, but her "failure" is also because of her mother.
Many people can't believe that such a popular singer is a full-fledged "giant baby" and "mother treasure". When I was a child, my mother managed to eat, dress, comb her hair, and when she grew up, she also had to manage signings, records, concerts, and even dating was restricted, everything was big and small, all of them were covered, for fear that she was tired of crying and being wronged, and she was both a mother and an agent and assistant. However, such a mother who loved her too much also "ruined" Chen Shuhua's life.
Chen Shuhua, who grew up in the close arms of her mother, is introverted, fragile and sensitive, and her mother, who is too protective of her daughter, strictly controls her daughter's love affair. Chen Shuhua's two relationships are because of the mother and failure, the first is that the mother does not like each other, Chen Shuhua listened to the mother's advice and broke up; the second paragraph of the mother agreed, but always have to follow the daughter's side, work dating is inseparable or even secretly followed, the man can not accept it and break up. Chen Shuhua also tried to resist, but still failed, and continued to be a little sheep in her mother's arms.
Chen Shuhua's father had persuaded her mother to give her daughter a little more opportunities for independence, but her mother refused. Emotionally unhappy, fragile inside, behavior and thoughts have been imprisoned for many years Chen Shuhua "sick", she is more introverted and autistic, fortunately, her mother has always encouraged her to comfort her, so Chen Shuhua has been unmarried until the age of 40.
In 1997, when her career was in full swing, Chen Shuhua had to interrupt her singing career due to accidentally eating diet foods containing amphetamines, resulting in physical problems. For Chen Shuhua, those two years were the bottom of her life, when her body had just recovered and she had just released an album "Paradise Lost", her mother, who had lived with her for 40 years, accidentally fell and never woke up again.
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow, Chen Shuhua's life has lost its pillar and fallen into confusion. It is precisely because she was overprotected by her mother since she was a child, resulting in her not knowing how to live independently in society, living without herself, nor knowing how to deal with people, let alone signing contracts to talk about business, Chen Shuhua's world collapsed. At that time, she suffered from depression, and she chose to quit the music scene and cut off all contact and contact with the outside world.
In this way, a generation of singers disappeared. In 2009, she was photographed downstairs at home with a haggard face, empty eyes, and a vicissitudes of face, and the news of Chen Shuhua's insanity was once reported. In 2010, Chen Shuhua's father confirmed the rumor that Chen Shuhua was seriously ill.
A group of friends and Li Zongsheng could no longer cheer her up, and Qi Yu also revealed in an interview that Chen Shuhua was hit hard because of the death of her mother, and presumably she had already had emotional and life problems at that time.
To this day, Chen Shuhua is not married, nor has she appeared in front of the public, some netizens say that Chen Shuhua has Alzheimer's disease, and some netizens say that she is now devoted to Buddhism.
However, not long ago, a Taiwanese actor shared a suspected photo with Chen Shuhua, and also captioned: Meet the wild Chen Shuhua! It was also revealed that she had even changed her name. Chen Shuhua in the photo looks smiling at the camera, the years are quiet, but the eyes are unfocused, and they are much older. Subsequently, the actor denied that she was Chen Shuhua herself, saying that she just looked alike, but netizens left messages believing that she was Chen Shuhua.
In any case, this former diva has left many familiar classic songs for the times, but it is indeed regrettable to live her life like this, and I hope that she can be healthy.
