Wang Jie was an actor before she became a singer.
However, before he could act, he was persuaded to leave because of his "small eyes".
Subsequently, he met the singer Cherise and started a singing career.
The two partnered for 30 years, and Cherise accompanied him from a nameless little singer to a singer.
But no one expected that the former "golden partner" would one day part ways, what happened during this period?
Why did Celeste and Wang Jieshi, who have always been regarded as "husband and wife", come together?
1.
In Wang Jieshi's life, there are three women who are very important to him.
One accompanies him to the peak of his career, one makes his family complete, and one makes him happy in his old age.
In 1952, Wang Jieshi was born in Beijing.
When he was a child, he was not very good-looking, nor did he have any special skills, and in the eyes of his parents, he was an ordinary child.
Although ordinary, Wang Jieshi has many hobbies.
He liked to listen to songs and dance, and there was no TV at home, only an old radio.
So he often took the radio to listen to songs.
There are not many songs, but after listening to it over and over again, I still feel endlessly reminiscent.
Sometimes I will follow up with two sentences.
Wang Jieshi's voice is good, and his singing is not difficult to hear, and sometimes his parents will hear his voice and ridicule two sentences: "Your voice conditions, you can become a singer in the future." ”
Originally, it was just a joke, but Wang Jieshi listened to it.
However, at that time, he did not have much self-confidence, and he never felt that he would have a day to get ahead.
In 1973, Wang Jieshi was assigned to work as a repairman for a transportation company in Beijing.
Life as a repairman is not good, dirty and tired.
Fortunately, the factory will use loudspeakers to play music every day at noon.
And this piece of music has become the key point of "redeeming" Wang Jieshi's life.
Every time he heard music, his heart felt like it had been washed with clean water, and it was very comfortable.
"You sing so well, if you can be a singer, it's absolutely dazzling."
This sentence was said by Wang Jieshi's Qingmei Bamboo Ma Xiaohong, two people grew up in a courtyard, their relationship is very close, many people think that they are lovers.
But only they themselves know that they have long liked each other in their hearts, but they dare not communicate with each other, in case even their friends can't do it, it is not worth the loss.
Later, it was still the parents of both sides, and guessed the careful thinking of the two of them.
Wang Jieshi and Shelly
Wang Jieshi's mother often said to her son: "If you like people, just tell them, I think they are very good to you." ”
At first, there was no confidence, until her mother said this, and Wang Jieshi decided to make an effort on her own.
Subsequently, he told Xiaohong his thoughts, and the two were naturally together.
During that time, Wang Jieshi and Xiaohong had a good relationship, and the two were still working in the same repair shop.
Sometimes, some work is too important, and Wang Jieshi will help her.
Such tiring work as repairing tires and screws is nothing in the eyes of Wang Jieshi and Xiaohong.
Wang Jieshi and Cherise
The relationship between the two has always been good, And Wang Jieshi, who loves to sing, sometimes takes advantage of the lunch break to sing two love songs to his girlfriend.
Xiaohong liked Wang Jieshi when she sang, so she advised him: "You like singing so much, go to an art school, your talent cannot be buried here." ”
"I haven't studied, what if I can't pass the exam?"
Xiaohong's encouragement made Wang Jieshi very happy, but he did not have self-confidence, and he had not studied music, how could he pass the exam?
"If you don't even dare to try, you can only be a repairman." Xiaohong didn't want Wang Jieshi's talent to be wasted, he should have a higher position.
This time, Wang Jieshi did not refuse again, he decided to try according to what his girlfriend said.
2.
In 1974, The Chinese Opera enrolled and Wang Jieshi signed up.
At that time, the Chinese opera exam was not particularly difficult.
Wang Jieshi, who can sing, was directly photographed by the examiner, and then smoothly entered the Chinese opera performance department.
From this moment on, Wang Jieshi's fate changed, and Xiaohong's worries also began.
When Wang Jieshi had not yet entered the university, someone reminded Xiaohong not to let her man go to the university.
First of all, there are too many excellent little girls on this college campus, what if they are hooked?
Secondly, once they go to college, the status of both of them will change greatly, what if they are abandoned in the future?
In that era, the consciousness of young people in love was to "tie the other person firmly to their side."
Colleagues often say this, and Xiaohong is also very worried in her heart, but she does not want to put pressure on Wang Jie.

So she said to Wang Jieshi: "You are now a college student, at this moment our circle is different, if you have other choices in the future, I will not respect you, I do not blame you." ”
Wang Jieshi is not a person with a heart, he understands Xiaohong's worries very well, and at the same time he also assured Xiaohong that no matter what happens in the future, he will never let go of her hand.
Wang Jieshi did what he said, and during the university, as soon as he had time, he ran to the factory to see Xiaohong.
Sometimes, he would buy her small snacks from the school cafeteria.
Xiaohong looked at Wang Jieshi who cared so much about herself, and her heart was very warm, so she thought of dedicating herself to him as well.
So she saved up months' salary and bought Wang Jieshi a dress and backpack.
The two give each other, so that they love each other more.
Therefore, when Wang Jieshi graduated from college, he married Xiaohong, and at the same time, he was assigned to the film studio and officially became an actor.
Don't look at his college life is very smooth, but this actor's life can make him go through one ups and downs after another.
During that time, the standards of actors were thick eyebrows and big eyes, while Wang Jieshi was thick eyebrows and small eyes, which was not quite in line with his appearance.
In addition, Wang Jieshi's acting skills are not too good, so when he was in the crew, he could not receive important roles at all, all of which were some small dragon sets.
For example, in the play "Sunrise", he only appeared for 5 minutes, and he only had one line in these 5 minutes, and the rest of the time he was completely on the background board.
When an actor appears so little, Wang Jieshi is very unbalanced in his heart, he wants to escape from here, and he wants to realize his dream of singing.
Now that you have an idea, be brave enough to do it.
He told the leader of his ideas, and the leader admired Wang Jieshi's courage, but if he wanted to develop in the music world, he had to have strength.
The leader of the regiment had never heard Wang Jieshi sing, and from the appearance, he did not feel like he could sing, so he refused.
Of course, Wang Jieshi refused to give up, and he sang several songs in a row directly in front of the leader of the regiment.
The regimental commander was stunned on the spot, and the young man looked quite talented.
Wang Jieshi, who was recognized, was recommended by the troupe to the China Film Orchestra, where all the outstanding singers, such as Cherise, were brought together.
Wang Jieshi has always liked Cherise's singing, and every time she hears her sing, she has a feeling of passion.
Coincidentally, this time Wang Jieshi's entrance examination was assessed by Xie Lisi.
When she first met Wang Jieshi, Cheryl let him introduce himself.
His voice was loud and confident, and he sang a song that directly made Cherise stand up and applaud.
Wang Jieshi's voice is good, his breath is also very strong, and he is also very emotional when singing.
In this way, Wang Jieshi officially entered the Work of the Chinese Film Orchestra under the arrangement of Xie Lisi.
I have to say that Wang Jieshi joined the group at just the right time.
There has always been a lack of tenor and Cherise in the group, and Wang Jieshi's joining just made up for this position.
At that time, there were not many male and female duet singers, and all the groups that took the lead were generally not small.
For example, Zhang Zhenfu and Geng Lianfeng, who were once popular in the 1980s, led to a long period of duet craze.
So their film orchestra also wanted to create duets.
And Wang Jieshi and Cherise are the best candidates.
Because both of them are high-pitched, at first the cooperation was not pleasant, fortunately, both of them are gentle personalities, And Celeste often helps Wang Jieshi adjust her voice, and the two have a tacit understanding of cooperation.
In order to be able to perform the best stage performance, they have been rehearsing except for the time for eating.
Wang Jieshi came out early and returned late every day, sometimes coming back too late for fear of affecting his wife's sleep, and he specially ran to the bathroom to practice the song and then go to bed.
As the days passed, gradually, there were more and more rumors from the outside world.
Many people began to wonder if Wang Jieshi was with Cherise.
The people outside were panicked, which caused Xiaohong to be very unsteady inside.
She didn't want to face Wang Jieshi about the rumors about the outside world, she was afraid of destroying the relationship between them.
As a result, for a while Xiaohong was very uncomfortable in her heart, and she often lost sleep at night.
Wang Jieshi seemed to see through her thoughts.
One day, he came home very early and immediately told his wife to prepare a few more good dishes, and in a moment Cherise and her husband were coming to the house.
Xiaohong knew that It turned out that Cherise had long been married, and she and her husband were very good.
The reason why Wang Jieshi did this was on the one hand to thank Cherise for her help, and on the other hand, to reassure his wife.2
Since then, Xiaohong has never thought about it again, and she believes in Wang Jieshi and supports him.
In 1978, Wang Jieshi faced a difficult challenge.
The group decided to arrange an audition for him and Cherise to see if the audience was hot for them, and if they succeeded, the duo would stay and disband if they failed.
This challenge, whether it is for Wang Jieshi or Cheriss, is not a small pressure.
3.
In October of the same year, Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi gave an audition to many workers in the Daqing oil field.
On stage, they sang three songs together.
After the two finished singing, the stage was quiet, and Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi were very flustered in their hearts, thinking that this performance had failed.
Unexpectedly, the next second, I was greeted by thunderous applause.
The show was a resounding success.
Since then, Wang Jieshi Shelis has been singing a male and female vocal duet and has become a fire.
It's just that they are not willing to be in the same style, and the previous male and female duo duets are more inclined to bel canto.
They decided to take a different approach and adopt the popular French singing method.
"Red River Valley" was the first song they experimented with.
Shortly after the song was launched, it was directly popular all over the Internet, and during that time, the streets and alleys were all this song, even children could sing it.
The song was on fire, and Wang Jieshi and Cherise were also on fire.
Wang Jieshi, who has a rich career, welcomed a third woman who was important to him in 1980, Wang Duanduan.
This year, Wang Jieshi became a father, and the arrival of his daughter Wang Duanduan made him feel more responsible in his heart.
Once he only paid attention to form and style when singing, now after having a daughter, he injects more emotion.
A year later, the daughter learned to walk, and Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi's singing career also reached its peak.
Their album "When Will We Meet" together directly sold more than five million copies after it was released.
In that era, although people's salaries were not high, in terms of sales, many people liked to listen to their songs.
During the explosion period, the two of them took advantage of the hot iron to launch classic songs such as "Grandma's Penghu Bay" and "Morning on campus".
Whether it is a cover or an original, the popularity of their songs has always been only high.
During that time, Wang Jieshi was the busiest time, and he performed outside for 80 percent of the year.
Sometimes two or three times a day, even the time to drink water is very small.
The husband is not at home every day, and as a wife, Xiaohong has to go to work, but also takes care of her daughter and cleans up the housework.
This made her feel very aggrieved in her heart, and at first she endured it, thinking that her husband was too busy at work.
Until once Xiaohong went out to buy vegetables, she was asked by several aunts in the neighborhood, is she and Wang Jieshi separated?
Later, there were also major media reports, saying that Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi were a couple.
Such a statement made Xiaohong very uncomfortable, and she, who had always had a good temper, finally did not control herself and threw a breath to Wang Jieshi.
She poured out all the resentment she had accumulated during this time to Wang Jieshi.
Wang Jieshi knows that his wife's is not easy, so he never quarrels with her, and will patiently comfort the other party every time.
"You and your daughter are a treasure and a treasure for me, and I will never give up on you in my life."
This sentence is a guarantee for his wife and daughter, he is a trustworthy person, if you identify anyone in this life, you will not let go.
Little by little, time is passing, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Duanduan should go to elementary school.
In order to let her daughter have a special body, Wang Jieshi specially sent her to the music class to practice piano.
However, Wang Duanduan did not like the piano, she often did not go to the tutoring class, Wang Jieshi could not do anything with her, but he did not want his daughter to be too peaceful.
Therefore, Wang Jieshi sent her daughter to study abroad after graduating from junior high school.
In order to take care of her daughter, Xiaohong also followed.
In this way, all the wives and daughters stayed abroad, while Wang Jieshi stayed at home.
At that time, many people asked Wang Jieshi why he did not go abroad to develop, and he said that he wanted to sing out the beautiful mountains and rivers of his country so that everyone could understand and then go out.
Although Wang Jieshi is busy at work, he often goes abroad to visit his wife and daughter.
It's just that a smooth life always has a day to be broken.

In 1996, nearly 50-year-old Shelly fell ill.
She often loses sleep, sometimes her temper is particularly large, she gets angry at every turn, and she has some symptoms of menopause.
Once, she and her mother-in-law were busy with meals in the kitchen, perhaps because of disagreement, the two directly quarreled.
Cherice had always had a good temper, and this was the first time she had quarreled loudly with her mother-in-law.
Unable to accept this emotion, Xie Lisi filed for divorce from her husband Lang Wenyao.
Lang Wenyao understood his wife's mood, so he took her to the hospital and prescribed several medicines.
Shellis and Lang Wenyao
I have to say that Lang Wenyao really loves Xie Lisi, during Xie Lisi's illness, he will make a meal for her every day and bring it to the front, occasionally accompany her to watch TV, and use warmth to tolerate her.
So Cheryles quickly came out of the torment of illness.
But the matter was not over, she thought she was healthy, and she fell ill again a year later.
In 1997, as soon as Shelise finished performing, she found that her mouth was unconscious, so she rushed back to Beijing to check.
The results of the examination showed that she had suffered from cerebral infarction.
In this way, Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi's singing career drew a pause button, and Xie Lisi was a very important benefactor and a very important partner for Wang Jieshi.
So when he learned that Celeste was in an accident, he immediately found a doctor for her treatment.
Perhaps heaven was touched by them, after three years of treatment, Cheres healed and returned to the stage with Wang Jieshi.
However, their singing careers were not long ago, and wang jieshi and Cherise's careers were once again drawn with a pause button.
The reason was that Cherise's daughter had cancer, and she had no intention of singing anymore.
So she proposed to let Wang Jieshi fly alone and break out of the world on her own.
Wang Jieshi did not live up to her hopes.
In 2011, Wang Jieshi held a solo concert, which was specially prepared for parents all over the world.
He said that he had become a father and experienced the difficulty of being a parent, so this concert was to tell them that even if the world has so many troubles, there are still songs and laughter.
In order to regain his feelings for the song, Wang Jieshi took out one hundred tickets to the mothers who came to the concert, one for only 6 cents.
This concert made everyone moved and shocked.
From Wang Jieshi's songs, it can be heard that he has experienced many ups and downs over the years, and in these ups and downs, he still maintains an optimistic attitude.
In 2014, Celeste's daughter died.
The white-haired people sending the black-haired people makes Cherise very painful, during this period, Wang Jieshi often takes his wife to visit her, hoping that she can cheer up and return to the music scene.
"Maybe you're on stage alone, and it's better." After all, Cherise faded out of the singing world little by little, leaving only Wang Jieshi alone.
In 2021, Wang Jieshi was invited to participate in the Chongyang Festival gala of the main station, a song "Stupid Child", which made countless fans rejoice.
Today, Wang Jieshi is 69 years old, and there is no trace of being tortured by the world on his face, he is very optimistic, and he has been looking forward.
He and Xiaohong have been married for 45 years, and during these years, the relationship between the two of them has been as stable as ever.
Their daughter Wang Duanduan had already established a family.
Many people say that young people today are happier in life than they used to be.
In my opinion, this is not necessarily the case.
In the 80s, although some people's families were not rich enough, there was always a person around who always accompanied them and made themselves happy.
Happiness may mean that the husband and wife have sincere feelings and a complete and stable life.
