On Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars, there are only two bronze statues, one is Bruce Lee, and the other is engraved with seven large characters inscribed by Andy Lau " Hong Kong Daughter Mui Yanfang" inscribed by Andy Lau.
Mui Yanfang - one of the most important female artists in Hong Kong to date. Since her, no woman has been left out, but now when we mention Mei Yanfang, we rarely talk about her achievements and contributions, and it is often mentioned that Mei Yanfang is too miserable.
She said that she was born poor and had a miserable childhood, lost her father at an early age, and had an evil mother in her family. Since the age of four and a half, Mei Yanfang has been sent to the dance hall to sell her art to earn money to subsidize her family;
Saying that she loves but cannot be miserable, and has been frankly pursuing true love all her life, but what she encounters is cheating and separation and rejection;
It is said that she died tragically due to cancer, and the original benign cervical cancer was caused by the unscrupulous media in Hong Kong to go out for medical treatment on time, and eventually her condition deteriorated and she died prematurely.
Yes, the above experiences can be said to be miserable on any person, but for Mei Yanfang, when we mention her, we only say that she is too miserable, and Xiaobian believes that this is completely insulting to her.
Mei Yanfang's childhood is indeed not happy enough, she was born in 1963, there are four brothers and sisters in the family, she is the youngest, her father died early, the whole family is supported by her mother Qin Meijin alone, sometimes it is not easy to have food to eat.
However, the mother is fond of gambling, which is undoubtedly a disaster for their family, but gamblers can always find a way to squeeze their relatives, even if they are a little older child, Qin Meijin is a woman who values sons over daughters, looking at her two sons and two daughters, she easily made a decision, let the two daughters go to the dance hall to sell art to make money, one is because they can subsidize the family, and the other is for themselves, and the money can be used as gambling funds. In this way, four-and-a-half-year-old Mei Yanfang and her sister Mei Aifang entered the chaotic society of that era prematurely. From the age of 4 and a half to 19 years old, Mei Yanfang has been working and living here, whether it is childhood or a young girl, for her life is the same, singing and dancing all day and all night, selling art and laughing day after day, there is no difference, so that she never feels a little sweetness and hope, and after all this she has paid for this family, what has she got?
In exchange for not only the care and comfort of her family, but the mother's relentless beating and scolding one after another, for a gambler, for a violent gambler who used her daughter as a tool to make money, her mother Qin Meijin unscrupulously used her identity to vent her emotions on her own daughter. When Mei Yanfang's hard-earned money in a day is not enough for the family to eat, she will fight; when the money comes not as fast as her gambling loss, she still fights. Such a childhood that strives to sell art, but does not know what meaning, wants to destroy a child very easily. You can imagine that if you and Mei Yanfang had the same childhood, do you think you can hold up?
Losing his father at an early age, having an evil mother in his family, selling art since childhood, any one thing in today's society is enough to defeat a child. Mei Yanfang, like a white lotus born in a muddy swamp, waiting for the storm that may swallow her at any time, as if it is her only fate in this life, but Mei Yanfang she does not admit her fate, does not accept defeat, maybe we only see the tragic facts of her, but forget that all this comes from force majeure, these tragedies for Mei Yanfang, are established facts, and what Mei Yanfang has to do is to resist.
She accepted fate's arrangement, but she would never accept herself just sitting still. Before the age of 19, Mei Yanfang's life, there were only two places, one was home, the other was the dance hall, all the pain and pain of Mei Yanfang's childhood came from the smelly and rotten home, but she had to take all her eyes away from the home and turn to the dance hall. In the dance hall, she saw something again, she first saw people, good people and bad people, good people and evil people, sincere people hypocritical people, people who valued love and righteousness, and it was precisely because of seeing these different people that she understood one thing, it turned out that there are selfish and indifferent people like mothers in this world, there are also people who forget their own love, there are families as miserable as behind her, and there are families that love each other regardless of you and me. In short, through looking at people, Mei Yanfang saw the world as it was, and she also saw hope, and the family gave her the most hopeless and realistic childhood of singing and making money, but Mei Yanfang did not hate singing because of this, but she wanted to destroy the singing of her childhood to resist.
From the age of 4 and a half to the age of 19, she sang for 14 and a half years, making money is not her purpose, changing her life is. In 1982, Mui Yanfang participated in the first Hong Kong Rookie Singing Competition and won the championship debut in one fell swoop. Nowadays, Mui Yanfang is known as a hall-level artist in the Chinese music scene, what is a hall-level artist, she must create, lead, and influence an era? In the 80s, society defined women's beauty, to women's traditions, gentle can not be publicized, and Mei Yanfang prefers to say no, why should women's beauty be defined by men? Why only allow men to express themselves? Why can a woman only have long hair and long skirts and high heels? If that's what men define as a good girl, then she's going to be a bad girl.
This is Mei Yanfang, singing to her, it was a childhood nightmare, but she used it to turn into the wind.
People often say that Mei Yanfang's love road is bumpy, love is not possible, regretful, and tragic feelings.
In the early years, she had a deep love for a Japanese singer Makoto Kondo, who was already the queen of heaven, Mei Yanfang, who had made 7 special trips to Japan to meet With Kondo Makoto, but the perfect lover in her eyes was a century scumbag, he did not tell Mei Yanfang, he was also talking about love with another woman at that time, and this woman was the Japanese diva Nakamori Akira at that time, but Mei Yanfang finally knew the fact that Kondo Masahiko split his legs.
Even if she loves Kondo again, she can't accept such a situation, she needs Kondo Masahiko to make a choice, and this scumbag tells Mei Yanfang that he loves both of them deeply in his heart at the same time, and he thinks that Mei Yanfang can live well without him, Nakamori Mingcai must not be able to live without him, Mei Yanfang accepted this set of words and let go.
Mui Yanfang's good friend Tan Yonglin once said in a talk show that Mui Yanfang must like Andy Lau very much, and if she has long hair, maybe they will be together.
And Mei Yanfang has said frankly many times: it is impossible to know herself and Andy Lau, but she still hopes that her future lover can more or less have a little trait in Andy Lau.
Mei Yanfang also did not hate because of love, but accepted the freedom of everyone to love and not to love, she will always pursue what she loves in her heart, and will never be loved, even if she loves repeatedly, she will not give up chasing true love.
When we know that she just stubbornly follows her heart and chooses to love, we must not think that she is miserable, on the contrary, she is the person who lives the most wanton and free, especially in that era when women are secretive about love.
Mei Yanfang died of cervical cancer on 30 March 2003 at the age of 40. Mei Yanfang's death made the entire media tremble, sigh for it, and cry for it!
Oh, it's humorous. The people who caused Mei Yanfang to die so early were also these people. Mei Yanfang had already been diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, but because it was detected early, her condition was generally controllable within a certain range, provided that she regularly went to the hospital for treatment. But in August 2003, some media got the news, saying that Mei Yanfang was seriously ill, this news made the media boil, think about it, today's biggest celebrity diva is in danger, just these few words can be a standard sample of the front page headlines, from the moment the news broke, Mei Yanfang can no longer go to the hospital regularly according to the doctor's instructions for treatment.
These people are very concerned about Mei Yanfang, they are concerned about the news value she brings, they are the most loyal comrades of the cancer cells in Mei Yanfang's body, they are responsible for the outer city, and the cancer cells are responsible for taking advantage of the fire.
At that time, Mei Yanfang, who was no longer in a good state, had to appear with a disease to cope with these occasions, facing the camera, she was still optimistic that she could defeat this cancer, she was convinced that she could be cured, she was convinced that in a very short time she would be cured, and she did not want to let her friends and fans worry about her because of this disease.
Mei Yanfang announced earlier that she was going to open a concert for the 20th anniversary of her debut, the opening time was November 2003, and the outside world began to speculate that Mei Yanfang would cancel 8 anniversary concerts due to illness, but they underestimated Mei Yanfang, who is Mei Yanfang, the big sister of the music industry, and the promise to the fans, she absolutely cannot take it back.
On November 8, 2003, Mei Yanfang sang in the Red Pavilion according to the plan, 8 consecutive performances, quite a few, this is her choice, her attitude, her life rules.
Xiaobian also hopes that netizens will not say that Mei Yanfang is miserable, because what she wants to convey to the world is definitely not how sad she is in life, and what she wants is definitely not the so-called pity of these outside worlds.
Although she had an absolutely bad childhood, she also dreamed of her own colorful future in these dark years, she was a poor girl mixed in the bright and green dance hall, but she was also a Chinese diva, a genius film queen, the daughter of Hong Kong.
Although she only found true love in her life but was lonely in the end, she never said that she loved someone wrongly, love is love, she will never give up the initiative to love for the sake of sorrow, she desperately longs for a home, but she has not been able to marry until death, even so, she can also face regrets, and can intuitively reconcile with her stubbornness.
Although she had cancer eroding her life before, and then there were unscrupulous media chasing and blocking her and not hoping for her well, she still found her initiative in these unchangeable things, and these diseases crushed only her skin bag.
Life ended, but she responded with an invitation. So in the future, when we mention Mei Yanfang, please don't say that she has been sad all her life, please say that she is hot and fearless and sparkling!
