In 1973, Wang Jieshi was transferred from the army and was assigned by the relevant departments to work as a repairman at the Beijing Automobile Transport Company.
Wang Jieshi's girlfriend Xiaohong, who is also an ordinary female worker at the factory, began to fall in love at the age of 18. Xiaohong is also a native of Beijing, 1 year younger than Wang Jieshi and living in the same courtyard as Wang Jieshi's family.
Wang Jieshi's daily job is to repair tires, wear greasy overalls to drill under the car and tighten screws, all day long his face, hands are black, and his hair is often stained with oil.
Wang Jieshi has a cheerful and lively personality, although he works very hard every day, he hums songs in his mouth while working, and he sings to his co-workers after eating at noon.
His girlfriend said to him, "You shouldn't be a mechanic all your life, you should go to art school." Wang Jieshi was worried that he would not be able to pass the exam, and Xiaohong encouraged him to try it.

In 1974, the Central Academy of Drama enrolled, and Xiaohong accompanied Wang Jieshi to register. At that time, the university recruited workers, peasants and soldiers, Wang Jieshi was born well, and he was a transfer soldier, and he also had musical talent and good appearance, and as a result, he was successfully admitted to the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama.
Before entering the school, Wang Jieshi came to say goodbye to the workers. Some colleagues quietly said to Xiaohong, "Why do you want Wang Jieshi to go to university?" In the future, there is a gap between your two identities, will he still love you? ”
An elder sister complained to Xiaohong: "You should not have encouraged him to go to college in the first place, you should have tied him firmly to the repair shop." ”
When colleagues said this, Xiaohong had a wisp of worry in her heart. She said to Wang Jieshi in a daze: "Now that you are a college student, I am just an ordinary female worker, and I will not blame you for making any decisions you make in the future." ”
Wang Jieshi promised: "No matter how far my career goes in the future, I will love you for the rest of my life." ”

During college, Wang Jieshi often went back to the repair shop to visit Xiaohong, and sometimes the school canteen sold cakes, and he would buy a few pieces to bring to Xiaohong to eat.
Xiaohong took out a meager income to buy shoes, shirts, and ties for Wang Jieshi, but Wang Jieshi did not accept it, and Xiaohong said: "You are a college student now, you should dress neatly." Wang Jie's heart warmed, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.
After graduating from University in 1977, Wang Jieshi was assigned to work in the Actors Troupe of Beijing Film Studio.
In October of that year, Wang Jieshi and Xiaohong were married in Beijing in a low-key manner. After marriage, the unit did not give them a house, and Wang Jieshi and his wife huddled together with their parents and still lived in the courtyard.

Wang Jieshi is 1.80 meters tall and has a large body, but his eyes are small, which does not meet the requirements of the male protagonist with thick eyebrows and big eyes at that time. And objectively speaking, Wang Jie really has no talent in acting, and is an out-and-out dragon set actor in the unit.

When the North Film Studio rehearsed the drama "Sunrise", Wang Jieshi only had a 5-minute play and said a line. Soon after the factory filmed the film "The Great River Rushing", the unit arranged for Wang Jie to play a role in the film, but he did not show his face, only a back shot.
At that time, Wang Jieshi's mood was very dim, and he wanted to change an environment and dream of singing.
In 1978, Wang Jieshi proposed to the head of the regiment to change jobs. After listening to Wang Jieshi sing a few songs, the leader felt that Wang Jieshi was more suitable for development in the music world, so he recommended him to the China Film Orchestra.
A few days later, Wang Jieshi went to take the exam nervously. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the chorus of "Defending the Yellow River", and he couldn't help but boil with blood, and tears flowed out at once. Only then did he realize that he was so obsessed with music that only music was the soil where he took root.
The China Film Orchestra arranged for Cherise to examine Wang Jieshi. Born in Chongqing in 1947, 5 years older than Wang Jieshi, Xie Lisi is also a national first-class actor of the China Film Orchestra and enjoys the treatment of experts of the State Council.

After meeting Wang Jieshi, Cherice let him sing two songs, and she felt that Wang Jieshi's voice was good and met the standards of a singer. With the help of Cheryl, Wang Jieshi was transferred to the Chinese Film Orchestra.
The group has always wanted to create a male and female vocal duet, so it arranged for Wang Jieshi to partner with Cherise.
Wang Jieshi is a tenor, Cherise is a soprano, the two are not coordinated in the high pitch area, after many run-ins, they found a tacit understanding in the midrange area.

At that time, the domestic male and female vocal duets, the most popular is Geng Lianfeng, Zhang Zhenfu, they have become famous, have a considerable number of fans, the group does not know whether Wang Jieshi and Cherix can be accepted by the audience.
In order not to disappoint the group, Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi repeatedly ran into rehearsals. The China Film Orchestra is located outside the North Second Ring Road, surrounded by a desolate wheat field with a large dung field behind it.
In the summer, the wind blows, the pungent smell wafts in the windows, and there are many flies on the window panes.
It was in this environment that Wang Jieshi and Cherise often rehearsed until night, and then rode their bicycles home.
At home, Wang Jieshi waited for his wife to go to work every morning, and in order not to affect the neighbors, he locked himself in the bathroom to practice singing.
Wang Jieshi and Cherise
In the fall of 1978, Wang Jieshi and Cherise had been rehearsing for several months, and the group decided to arrange for them to conduct an audition. If they succeed, they will keep the pair, and if they are unsuccessful, they will disband.

On October 2 of that year, the troupe arranged for Wang Jieshi and Cheris to go to the Daqing oil field to perform for the workers. This was the first time the two took the stage together, singing a total of 3 songs such as "Why Are The Flowers So Red" and "Night in the Oil Field".
As soon as Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi opened their voices, the audience applauded continuously, and the performance was very successful. Since then, the two have been fixed as male and female vocal duet partners.
Wang Jieshi burst into tears and slept peacefully for the first time in several months.
Wang Jieshi Cheryl's early albums
At that time, there were only national singing methods and bel canto singing methods in China, in order to form their own singing style, Wang Jieshi and Cheryles borrowed the popular singing methods of Indonesia, France and other countries to form their own singing style.
The first song they experimented with was called "Red River Valley", which was widely welcomed by fans once it was released.
In 1980, his daughter Wang Duanduan was born, and the 28-year-old Wang Jieshixi became a father. The birth of his daughter made Wang Jieshi more responsible and stimulated his unprecedented enthusiasm for work.
In 1981, Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi recorded their first music album "When The Day They Met" at the invitation of Guangdong Pacific Audio-Visual Company.
The album was priced at 6.9 yuan and sold more than 5 million boxes after its release. At that time, the per capita salary was only forty or fifty yuan, which showed how red Wang Jieshi and Cherise were at that time!
Since then, they have sung many Taiwanese campus songs such as "Returning from the Sunset", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Barefoot Walking on the Field", "Country Road" and so on.
Wang Jieshi and Celeste are not satisfied with cover songs, but also launched a series of original songs such as "Morning on Campus", "Wish Song", "I Want to Pick a White Cloud", "Pursuit", "Footprints" and so on, becoming the most popular male and female vocal duo in the 1980s.
At that time, Wang Jieshi performed outside all year round, sometimes performing 5 times a day, singing dozens of songs, and many times Wang Jieshi sang with a swollen voice and dumb.
At that time, Wang Jie lived on a meager salary, there was no appearance fee for the performance, and there was a subsidy of 4 cents for a performance. When Wang Jieshi went to perform in other places with the troupe, he lived in the backstage and cooked with the staff in the troupe, the conditions were quite difficult, but he never complained.
Wang Jieshi can't go home all day long, xiaohong has to go to work, but also have to take care of her daughter and take care of housework, and the work task is quite heavy.
At that time, the media was not developed, and many people thought that Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi were partners on the stage and were also a couple in life. Some media reported that Wang Jie was real-time, and also said that Cherise was his lover.
This made Xiaohong feel very awkward, she had a husband, but he spent much more time with another woman than himself. When the mood is not good, Xiaohong will also lose her temper with her husband.
Wang Jieshi never bothered with his wife, and always patiently comforted his wife: "Is it not because of work?" After marrying you, you and your daughter are all I have. ”
Listening to her husband say this, Xiaohong felt much better in her heart. Yes, the husband loves the family, the monthly salary is all handed in, and the performance subsidy is saved to buy gifts for her and her daughter.
As soon as the husband comes home from the performance, he rushes to do housework and take care of his daughter, and with such a good husband, what else do he have to complain about?

After her daughter went to primary school, Wang Jieshi let her daughter learn piano, but Wang Duanduan had no interest in playing the piano, and Wang Jieshi did not force her.
In the 1990s, many children went abroad to study, and Wang Duanduan said that he also wanted to go out to study in the future. At that time, although Wang Jieshi was famous, he had no savings around him and could not afford to support his daughter to study abroad.
In 1992, when Wang Jie was performing in Sichuan, she thought the local sauerkraut fish and hot pot were delicious. After returning to Beijing, he opened a Sichuan restaurant in Beijing with his friends.
Although the store is not large, the business is quite prosperous, and Wang Jieshi sometimes can't find a place to eat.
In 1996, Wang Duanduan graduated from junior high school, Wang Jieshi sent her to the United States to attend high school, and Xiaohong followed her daughter to accompany her.
The well-meaning person advised Xiaohong: "Teacher Wang is attractive and famous, you must keep an eye on him in China." You go abroad to accompany you, maybe he will be caught by other women. ”
Others say that many couples originally had a good relationship, because their wives went abroad to accompany them, and finally the relationship faded and the marriage disintegrated.
For more than ten years of ups and downs, Xiaohong believes in her husband's personality and witnesses his responsibility to her family, she is not worried at all, and she is assured to go overseas to accompany her mother.
After his wife and daughter went abroad, Wang Jieshi transferred the restaurant, dedicated herself to performing, and took time to visit her wife and daughter abroad.

After many people saw Xiaohong, they were surprised and asked Wang Jieshi: "Is this your lover?" Wang Jieshi nodded, and he understood the surprise in the eyes of the other party. Xiaohong said to her husband: "With me, will you lose face?" ”
