"Maybe it was the years of her mother's death, and you could feel her instability, or her struggle." When you extend the hand of friendship, she seems to be afraid and withdrawn, so she must have been emotionally or in life at that time, a little obstacle. ”
In the 14th year of the inexplicable disappearance of Chen Shuhua, the singer Tianhou, mentioned her in an interview with Qi Yu, revealing some internal feelings, and the tone was regretful and sad.
A song "Dream Awakening" opens a musical era exclusive to her, a song "Flying Streamers" renders a lingering "Green Snake" story, and a song "Laughing Red Dust" creates a free and relaxed martial arts world...
Mention Chen Shuhua, we have to mention these masterpieces, in the 1990s, the entire Chinese music scene can be said to be occupied by her.
However, at the peak of her career, she suddenly retired, suffering from serious illnesses such as depression and dementia, and never appeared in front of people again. All this brilliance and loneliness are actually related to her mother.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > achieved</h1>
In 1958, Chen Shuhua was born in Taiwan to an ordinary family with 6 siblings, and she was the third oldest. His father was a small clerk in a post office, and his mother worked in a cultural company, and the family was barely well-off.
There are too many children, parents should pay special attention to the issue of fairness, and cannot be favored. However, when Chen Shuhua grew up to be 6 or 7 years old, she showed a good talent for singing, and the situation of the Chen family's parents with a bowl of water was broken.
Often humming with the TV set, she imitated it like a decent, and her mother Xu Hui observed for a while and found that her daughter's singing voice was very characteristic and a seedling worth cultivating, so she was overjoyed and took her around to enroll in professional vocal music classes.
In 1966, under the arrangement of her mother, Chen Shuhua, who was only 8 years old, participated in the largest singing competition in Taiwan at that time, the "Taiwan Song Competition", and the young children's voice defeated all opponents and won the championship with a song "Satisfied".
Honors and bonuses followed, Chen Mother believed that her daughter's future was unlimited, and in order to train her, she was even more crazy to spend money, from piano and guzheng to dance, the mother put all her energy on this daughter, and did not hesitate to empty the family foundation for her.
At the age of 9, Chen's mother found various record companies to help her daughter record a single album, and then matched jiang Lei, the original singer of "On the Water Side", a famous singer at that time, so that the young Chen Shuhua cooperated with him to enhance her fame.
Some of these companies took the initiative to sign a contract, wanting Chen Shuhua to become a child star and specialize in the development of singing career, but Chen's mother was very sober and understood that the child's main task at present is to learn, and refused one by one.
At the insistence of her mother, the ignorant Chen Shuhua moved forward according to the route arranged by her mother, focusing on her studies and supplementing singing, and successfully entered the university, received higher education, and became one of the few highly educated singers in that era.
In 1977, after graduation, she signed a contract with Huashi and officially embarked on the road of professional music, Chen Mu could not rest assured of her daughter, quit her job, accompanied her, acted as an agent, and took care of her work and life.
At the age of 24, Chen Shuhua released a music album with the same name as the title song "Sunset With Me", which successfully became one of the highest-grossing albums in Taiwan that year, winning the 20th Taiwan Television Golden Bell Awards for Best Actress of the Year, and became famous overnight.
In order to find a better way out, Mother Chen took her to Rolling Stone Records, where she met her Bole Li Zongsheng. As the deputy general manager of Rolling Stone, Li Zongsheng is extremely partial to Chen Shuhua's voice conditions, and it can be said that the height of her career is his single-handed achievement.
Li Zongsheng personally created a personal album for her, and suggested that she cut off a long hair and appear in front of the public with a smart short hair style, which fit the mood of songs such as "Tell You To Listen to You" and "When You Wake Up", revealing a sense of independence and maturity.
After that, he helped her open up another popular path, and sang theme songs for the hit movies "Rolling Red Dust", "Green Snake", "Wing Chun", "The Undefeated Rise of the East" and so on, stepping onto a new career stage.
At that time, Zhou Huajian gave her the highest evaluation - "The Queen of Heaven", Jackie Chan made a record for the first time, and also personally asked to cooperate with her, so Li Zongsheng specially composed lyrics and composed music, and a song "Clearly Understand My Heart" achieved the classic of the two.
With the joint help of her mother and Bo Le, Chen Shuhua went all over the Chinese music scene, shoulder to shoulder with Qi Yu and Pan Yueyun, and was called "The Three Queens of the Rolling Stones" and ascended to the altar of music.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > destroyed</h1>
For so many years, Chen Shuhua under the wings of her mother, concentrated on doing what she was best at, in addition to singing, she did not have to pay attention to anything outside her body, even serving tea and pouring water, dressing and eating, it was her mother's own efforts, never let her thirsty and hungry or frozen.
"My daughter is still young, and we should cultivate her independence more, otherwise it will be detrimental to her growth." Father Chen reminded Mother Chen several times not to overprotect her daughter and to let go of her hand moderately, but Mother Chen insisted on going her own way and did not listen to it.
Chen Shuhua was developed into an introverted and shy personality, standing on the stage will be nervous, privately will not get along with people, "When I was in the Cultural College, as long as someone threw me a note saying that they were waiting for me at the bus stop, I would be scared and would rather go to the next stop to wait for the train." ”
She once fell in love with a little famous singer, but Mother Chen was worried that she would affect her career and expressed her opposition, so she did not resist and silently agreed to break up.
Later, she met a doctor boyfriend who was 4 years older than her, and this time she got the approval of Chen's mother, but when she went out on a date, her mother actually drove to secretly follow Chen Shuhua, and after being exposed by the media, this relationship ended again.
For the outsider's incomprehension, Chen Mu felt very aggrieved, "It is not that I am going, it is Shuhua who wants me to follow, saying that I will help her check." ”
Despite this, Chen Shuhua did not think about changing the way she got along with her mother, and the mother and daughter were inseparable, "If one day I plan to get married, then I will definitely take my mother with me." Because she knows myself better than I do. ”
In the face of such a mother-daughter relationship, her friends are not many, and it is even rarer to have a party together, and her friend Chen Sheng once ridiculed: "I don't want to invite Chen Shuhua to dinner, and the toast is toasted to Chen's mother's belly!" ”
In 1997, Chen Shuhua encountered an accident, in order to manage her body, she accidentally ate diet foods containing amphetamines, and since then she has had symptoms such as high fever, loss of appetite, insomnia and headache, auditory hallucinations, etc., and is completely unable to perform normally.
She rested for a whole year, finally recovered her body, and re-emerged from the music scene to release the album "Paradise Lost". Unexpectedly, this turned out to be her last scream.
In 1998, the elderly Mother Chen accidentally fell at home, and as her illness became more and more serious, she eventually died. The sudden death of her mother is no less than the collapse of the sky for Chen Shuhua, who has always relied on her mother.
The last time Li Zongsheng saw her was at the funeral of Mother Chen, the light that shone in Chen Shuhua's eyes in the past was silent and silent, looking into his eyes, calm and waveless, probably mourning more than heart death.
Unable to escape the shadow of her mother's death, coupled with her inability to take care of the chores of life and work, she chose to retire from the stage and disappeared ever since.
Chen Shuhua sold her usual mansion and luxury car, went to a very remote suburb to buy a house, and relied on her old father for her life. She even changed her contact information and refused condolences and visits from her former friends.
In 2003, Rolling Stone Records released the documentary "A Letter to Shuhua", recalling her bits and pieces. In the same year, she came forward to give a telephone interview to Tao Jingying, "Some personal matters are inconvenient to disclose, but I have no intention of leaving the acting world, I have been working hard." ”
But in the years that followed, it was proved that her "efforts" did not succeed, and Chen's father and eldest sister Chen Zixuan admitted that she suffered from severe depression and refused to go to the doctor, staying at home to fend for herself.
Today, Chen Shuhua is 62 years old and has been alone. On April 11, a person claiming to be her friend revealed to the media that she had more severe dementia, and the shadow of her dead mother was getting deeper and deeper, and it was a generation of diva that had been destroyed.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
In 2006, Li Zongsheng held a global tour, the theme of the first stop was set as "Dedicated to Chen Shuhua", he released a letter full of thoughts on the big screen on the spot, which led to the infinite emotions and sorrows of fans, the text was real, and it made people cry.
"Shuhua, is everything okay?" May you recover from the deep sorrow of losing your mother... It doesn't matter, the days will go on smoothly, and we will meet and sing again, just like then. ”
I hope that the years can heal her pain as soon as possible and get out of the quagmire of loss, as she sang in the song, "In every dream awakening, there are some people you never have to wait for."
