I once thought that the most beautiful love was that the strange city had "Across the Ocean to See You";
I once thought that the most affectionate confession was your sentence "I really love you";
I once thought that the biggest regret was "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past".
The talented "godfather of music" Li Zongsheng, Chen Huihong, who has been waiting for many years, and Gong Shuoliang, the "Macao Drum King", did not let Lin Yilian stop tracking the pace of love...
Lin was born in 1966 to an artistic family in Hong Kong, China.
With a father who is good at erhu, a mother who can sing Shaoxing opera, and a cute and mischievous brother, Lin Yilian's childhood life can be said to be carefree.
Lin Yilian has an enlightened pair of parents who have never had any restraints on their children. This is also the reason why Lin Yilian can freely choose her career and life.
Lin Yilian said publicly in the interview that her mother once told her that her father took his name as "Yilian" in order to miss his ex-girlfriend with "Lotus" in his name, which also shows her mother's tolerance and generosity, at least we have not seen the news of Lin Yilian's parents' divorce or disagreement.
Before entering the music scene, Lin Yilian also worked as a DJ in Hong Kong.
In fact, she participated in the radio DJ selection to accompany her friends, and the result was that the friends were not admitted, but Lin Yilian was admitted, so the 16-year-old Lin Yilian mistakenly became the youngest DJ in the radio at that time.
A little slightly fat, his own personality is also lively and cheerful Lin Yilian, and colleagues are very happy to get along, the radio also gave Lin Yilian a stage name "June 11". Since then, Lin Yilian has started her career as a DJ.
And this choice will affect Lin Yilian's life.
In the 1980s, Hong Kong DJs often had to perform on shows, but it was in these performances that Lin Yilian's singing potential was favored by the record company, so she released her first album.
The road to becoming a professional singer is something Lin Yilian never thought of, and before that, her favorite thing was to paint, and she most wanted to become a painter.
Lin Yilian's first new album was completed under extremely "clumsy" circumstances.
Since Lin Yilian did not receive any professional training at that time, the production of each step of the album was difficult for Lin Yilian, who was still a newcomer at the time.
Compared with the second album, Lin Yilian is much calmer, she began to demand herself with the quality of a professional singer, and completed the recording of this album with a professional level.
After both albums, she even thought about leaving the singer's industry, because in the era of flowers, her music did not splash much.
At that time, she could not dream that she would one day become popular all over Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and her songs would be widely circulated...
Lin Yilian, who is still struggling in her career, met her first love boyfriend, Chen Huihong.
It is said that he was also Zhou Xun's gossip boyfriend later, but the relationship broke up for a short time.
In 1987, Lin Yilian ushered in a turning point in her career
During this time, she not only released her fourth album "Gray"
She also welcomed her business partners, "StarMaker" - Wishing and "Gold Producer" - Lun Yongliang
Wishing is the music supervisor of TVB's famous palace fighting drama "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", Wishing will not only compose and write songs, but also help stars create an image, in addition to Lin Yilian, the stars of Wishing service are Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Chen Xiaochun, Ye Dexian, and now the "little giant lung" Deng Ziqi.
The three of them quickly reached an iron triangle in music, and Lin Yilian also moved from the Japanese youth style to the mature and feminine style under the packaging of the two masters.
Lin Yilian won the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" award with the album "Gray".
Lin Yilian finally found a suitable style for herself in this year and bloomed her charm. At the same time, Wishing and Lun Yongliang also fell in love with her.
Just in the feelings of these three people. Lun Yongliang voluntarily quit and became Lin Yilian's confidant with a red face, fulfilling his wish.
Companionship is the longest confession of affection, so Lun Yongliang understands that friendship may last longer than love...
Lin Yilian once joked with Lun Yongliang: If you are not married at the age of 64, I will marry you. It's just that Mei Yanfang said this to Zhang Guorong, and Lin Xinru also said to Su Youpeng...
In the 1990s, due to Warner's efforts to support Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian had to make other plans, and Wish began to pave the way for Lin Yilian to go to the development of Taiwan's song scene, so he found Li Zongsheng.
It's just that at that time, Li Zongsheng had already become popular with well-known singers such as Zhou Huajian and Zhao Chuan, and became a brother of Rolling Stone Records, so he had no time to pay attention to the wish.
After asking for help from Li Zongsheng, Xu Yuan found a UFO record, and a song "Falling in Love with a Person Who Doesn't Go Home" made Lin Yilian popular all over Asia and achieved 2 million sales.
The song also contributed to the collaboration between Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian.
However, this year, Lin Yilian was only 24 years old.
The success of Lin Yilian's song "Falling in Love with a Person Who Doesn't Go Home", due to the previous rejection of Lin Yilian's cooperation, Li Zongsheng regretted it, and in order to show his sincerity, he changed the theme song "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past" for Chen Kaige's "Farewell to the Overlord" into a male-female duet version.
And invited Lin Yilian to sing with him.
At this time, the two still have not met, and even the MVs are filmed separately.
Under the efforts of Li Zongsheng, Lin Yilian was finally signed into the Rolling Stones.
In 1993, Li Zongsheng created the album "Don't Care Who I Am" for Lin Yilian.
At the same time, Lin Yilian and Li Zongsheng got closer and closer, and slowly got together.
Li Zongsheng invited Lin Yilian to sing their classic song "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past" at his concert, and Li Zongsheng thanked many friends including Lin Yilian at the concert clock, except for his wife Zhu Weiyin.
This concert is Li Zongsheng's farewell concert, at that time Li Zongsheng has been in the industry for ten years, the significance of this gratitude for Li Zongsheng can be imagined, and the wife sitting under the stage is very unpleasant.
Cinnabar moles and white moonlight, red roses and white roses, I believe that Li Zongsheng at that time was difficult to choose.
I once thought I could have "My Future, My Home, My Wife", but I still met her own "Ghost Obsession".
When Li Zongsheng was in a dilemma, Lin Yilian chose to turn around and leave and go to Canada alone.
It was also Lin Yilian's departure that touched Li Zongsheng, and in the face of the person who could no longer see the soul of the dream, he decisively left his wife.
Li Zongsheng even expressed his situation and state of mind at that time in the creation of "For You and Me by the Cold Wind".
In July 1996, Li Zongsheng created "Night Too Dark" for Lin Yilian, and the two have become lovers without hesitation;
In January 1997, Li Zongsheng and his wife Zhu Weiyin went through divorce procedures;
In February 1998, Lin Yilian married Li Zongsheng as she wished, and was nearly 5 months pregnant;
Lin Yilian's personality is not suitable for being a housewife, after giving birth, Lin Yilian once again returned to the song world with a song "Sonorous Rose".
This song is also the last song lin Yilian cooperated with rolling stones.
After Li Zongsheng married Lin Yilian, his work once again ushered in a trough period, but Lin Yilian ushered in another climax in his life.
In 2000, Lin Yilian ended her contract with Rolling Stone Records and came to Viking Records.
Lin Yilian and new producer Yao Qian jointly created the "At least you" fire, is also one of the songs with a very high degree of singing so far.
In 2001, Li Zongsheng, who was at a low point in his career, chose to leave Taiwan again and move his family to Lin Yilian's hometown of Shanghai.
It's just that this time leaving is not only the cessation of their careers, their love has also come to a standstill...
Li Zongsheng in the trough period was feeling depressed and embarrassed, and at this time, Lin Yilian was in the limelight and became a hot singer in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the focus of her work was also on Hong Kong.
The career gap made the two people conflict continuously, and eventually Li Zongsheng completely lost Lin Yilian on the way to Beijing.
In July 2004, Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian issued divorce statements.
After the divorce, Lin Yilian launched the Cantonese record "True Colors".
At the same time, in 2005, Lin Yilian, who was 37 years old, was once again photographed by the media with her first love boyfriend Chen Huihong, but this relationship still lasted for a short period of 1 year, and finally broke up.
Regarding the reasons for the breakup, Lin Yilian's fear of marriage after the divorce with Li Zongsheng, and Chen Huihong after the divorce are still yearning for marriage, and the two sides have no way to reach a consensus on marriage.
In 2010, the 44-year-old Lin Yilian met the 33-year-old "Macao Drum King" Gong Shuoliang because of her work, and the two were soon together.
Born in Hong Kong in 1977, exactly 11 years younger than Lin Yilian, Gong Shuoliang is a mixed-race of Mexican, Portuguese and Filipino ancestry.
In his early years, Gong Shuoliang has been living in Macau, studying at the City University of New York in the United States, majoring in music, and has the reputation of "Macao Drum King".
Lin Yilian was attracted by Gong Shuoliang's talent, so they came together.
The two were also photographed by the media walking in the rain during the hot love period, which was really envious of everyone.
Everyone believes that Gong Shuoliang changed Lin Yilian, and Lin Yilian, who has always been low-key in feelings, began to show her love publicly for the first time.
It's just that the good times are not long, after 9 years of companionship, the two sides still ended up darkly.
In 2020, 54-year-old Lin Yilian and 11-year-old musician Gong Shuoliang announced their breakup.
Lin Yilian is still the intellectual she, without the insults of dog blood, without the crying of grief.
She just calmly told the media that yes, she broke up.
They all said: "Young people don't understand Li Zongsheng, and grow up Fang knows Lin Yilian."
This sentence tells how much the story is bitter and sweet.
I once thought he was the obsessive talent, who had only been mad for her all his life;
I once thought she was the gentle singer who sang the bitterness of this life;
He is the golden boy, she is a jade girl, but after many years of marriage, there is an inexplicable bitterness.
Once regretted, lost her;
Once remorseful, did not hide him;
If you can do it all over again, will you still choose to separate in Shanghai?
It's just that for 56-year-old Lin Yilian and 63-year-old Li Zongsheng, everything has become a thing of the past.
The past can no longer be mentioned, life can only be expected...
