In addition to "Fifteen Moons", Dong Wenhua's songs such as "Looking at the Starry Sky", "Blood-Stained Style", and "Today is Your Birthday, China" are also popular.

Dong Wenhua
It is no exaggeration to say that Dong Wenhua was one of the most famous military singers of the 1990s.
Only after entering the new era, she began to slowly fade out of the public eye, why did Dong Wenhua retire when her career was at its reddest?
How has her life been all these years?
Now, at nearly sixty years old, is she okay?
01 Dreams
In June 1962, Dong Wenhua was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, although her parents were ordinary workers, they could not give her a rich life, but gave her the warmest love.
Dong Wenhua was a child
Dong Wenhua is the oldest in the family, she also has two brothers and an older sister, and the family of six is crammed into a small bungalow.
Although the life is poor, the family atmosphere is warm and loving.
The voice conditions of these children of the Dong family are particularly good, and they often have a crisp and loud singing voice from their small bungalow, especially Dong Wenhua.
Under the influence of her sister Dong Shuangqiu, she has loved singing since she was a child. For Dong Wenhua, her sister is the earliest leader on her singing road.
At that time, her sister Dong Shuangqiu sang in the Children's Palace, and she would take her sister Dong Wenhua with her when performing.
Dong Wenhua has liked to stand on the stage and perform since she was a child, and she is very able to endure hardships in order to sing.
When she was a child, there was a park not far from her house, and she could insist on getting up early at five o'clock every morning and running to the park alone to practice her voice.
When she returned, in order not to disturb the neighbors' rest, she climbed into a large vat of pickles in their house to practice.
When her sister Dong Shuangqiu saw her sister working so hard, she made up her mind that she must let her sister develop into singing.
Therefore, every time she had a performance, she would take her sister with her, and later, Dong Shuangqiu also looked around for teachers to teach her sister to sing.
Kung Fu pays off, Dong Wenhua's hard work and the help of her sister ushered in a big change for her life for the first time.
In 1977, the 39th Army of the Shenyang Military Region wanted to recruit literary and artistic soldiers for the amateur team of soldiers, and Dong Wenhua went to apply for the examination after learning of this news.
Speaking of which, Dong Wenhua was quite brave, she was only 15 years old at that time, as the daughter of a worker, no one knew her, but she stood on the stage of the 115 division club with less than one meter and five meters, full of vigor and not timid at all.
She was successfully admitted to the army with a song "The Best of the Sun Chairman Mao's Dearest Relatives", and at that time, she was also admitted with Zhu Xiaohong, the captain of the original song team of the Shenyang Military Region Forward Song and Dance Troupe and a national first-class vocal actor.
They were both young, and after they were admitted together, they lived in the same dormitory, and slept on bunk beds.
Zhu Xiaohong
Zhu Xiaohong commented on Dong Wenhua: "He is particularly honest and generous. ”
Zhu Xiaohong lived with Dong Wenhua for more than two years, and then the amateur propaganda team was disbanded, and they were recruited by the Shenyang Military Region Forward Song Troupe to work and live together in a dormitory.
In fact, Dong Wenhua was trained as an opera singer, and this experience was very valuable to her.
Because as an opera singer, whether it is from the physical performance or the lines are very strict, every morning up is to practice, if you do not do well, the teacher's ring ruler will be on, so they were often in tears when they were underage at that time.
02 Conventions
Dong Wenhua was selected into the army at the age of 15, which not only changed her career destiny, but also realized her dream.
Here she also met the love of her life, a man Who held her in the palm of her hand and loved Zhang Nan.
Early years of Dong Wenhua
Zhang Nan was attracted by dong Wenhua's simple and innocent temperament, when Dong Wenhua was only 15 years old, and his eyes were full of innocence.
At that time, Zhang Nan was a tenor in the regiment, and he judged Dong Wenhua's words and deeds and dress that she was an ordinary female soldier.
But through slow contact and understanding, he found that Dong Wenhua's simple temperament was influenced by the environment, but she was really not just an ordinary female soldier.
When he knew that Dong Wenhua had been admitted as a soloist, when he had the opportunity to perform with her, she always made his eyes light up when he stood on the stage.
In addition, Zhang Nan also found that Dong Wenhua was a girl who was particularly capable of suffering.
Once, they went down to the army together for a performance.
Because the outpost I was going to at that time was on a high mountain, the car could not be driven up, everyone had to climb up, Dong Wenhua was wearing a pair of large leather shoes issued by the army, it was very difficult to climb up, and there were male colleagues who wanted to help her.
She said stubbornly, "No, I can do it myself." ”
When they reached the mountain, the regiment stipulated that each of them could only sing one song for the sake of their bodies, but after Dong Wenhua finished singing, the soldiers asked her to sing another song, and she did not expect to sing three songs in one breath.
From that moment on, Zhang Nan, who was in his early 20s, was impressed by this little girl, and his heart was being occupied by her little by little.
In the winter of 1980, Zhang Nan asked Dong Wenhua out and plucked up the courage to ask her: "Can we make a friend?" ”
Dong Wenhua wondered, "Aren't we just friends?" Because in her heart, the soldiers in the regiment are friends and family.
Zhang Nan was a little nervous, and his palms were sweating: "I am not referring to ordinary friends, but friends in that sense." ”
Dong Wenhua understood it, and after a moment of silence, she still politely rejected the other party, she said: "I am only 18 years old, the age is still too young, I want to make some achievements in my career first, I don't want to fall in love so early." ”
Zhang Nan was anxious: "It doesn't matter, I can wait for you for five years." ”
Dong Wenhua: "That will delay you." "Because Zhang Nan was 26 years old at that time, wait another five years, he will be 31 years old."
But Zhang Nan had already identified Dong Wenhua, and he said without hesitation: "I am not afraid, that is, until the hair is white, I am also willing." ”
Dong Wenhua was impressed by Zhang Nan's persistence and sincerity, and she had no reason to refuse, but nodded her head slightly.
In this way, Zhang Nan and Dong Wenhua made a five-year contract.
Dong Wenhua also lived up to herself, her acting career rose step by step in the past five years, and in 1984, she became popular throughout the country with a song "Fifteen Moons".
Speaking of which, Dong Wenhua is also quite lucky.
Originally, the song "Fifteen Moons" was originally created as a boy's song, when composer Tie Yuan liked Dong Wenhua's singing very much, and he gave Dong Wenhua the "Fifteen Moons" created with lyricist Shi Xiang.
Dong Wenhua listened to it and deeply liked it, when the song was recorded, it was played as a weekly song in Liaoning Province, and the response was very good, and the audience repeatedly asked for continuous playback.
Later, Dong Wenhua participated in the CCTV TELEVISION Grand Prix as the first place in the Liaoning Provincial Singers Competition Television Grand Prix.
It was 1984, Dong Wenhua became famous, and the following year she appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and became a well-known singer.
After that, Dong Wenhua won the Spring Festival Gala 12 times in a row, and her songs such as "Looking at the Starry Sky", "Sun Moon and Stars", "Road", "The Sun Rises from Your Hands", "The Great Wall Is Long", "The Story of Spring", "The Long Yangtze River" and other songs have become classics in the classics.
Dong Wenhua has won many awards such as "Wenhua Award", "Five One Project Award", "Golden Disc Award" and so on, and in the 1999 World Chinese MTV Music and Television Selection Activity, Dong Wenhua also won the highest award "Best Folk Song Singing Award".
From the mid-1980s to the entire 1990s, Dong Wenhua's career went to one peak after another, of course, in addition to her own efforts and talents, it was also inseparable from Zhang Nan's support and understanding of her.
03 Promise
In 1984, after Dong Wenhua became famous in one fell swoop, Zhang Nan was genuinely happy for her, but at the same time there was also a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
He was worried that a girl in her early twenties would become a big star all over the country, could she still look up to herself?
With a heart as delicate as Dong Wenhua, she saw Zhang Nan's concerns, but she didn't say anything, still to him as usual.
Dong Wenhua still had an innocent smile on his face, and he was still so gentle and considerate to Zhang Nan, which made Zhang Nan's uneasy heart let go.
Zhang Nan laughed at herself in her heart, how can she speculate so much about the girl she likes, this is disrespect for her, but also a lack of confidence in herself.
At the end of 1984, in order to reassure Zhang Nan, 22-year-old Dong Wenhua and Zhang Nan fulfilled their five-year contract and officially married.
At this time, Dong Wenhua's love career has a double harvest, which can be called a big winner in life, but her "ambition" is far more than this, and she knows that in order to go further on the road of singing, she must continue to improve herself.
In 1985, Dong Wenhua was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts with excellent results.
If the last five-year covenant was a test of Zhang Nan and Dong Wenhua's love, then the next is the test of their marriage.
Newlyweds, living in a different place, plus Zhang Nan is over thirty years old at this time, it is normal for her parents to give birth to her family, but for Dong Wenhua, 22 years old is the best age for her to struggle for her career.
Zhang Nan understood her, he understood that love was perfect, five years had been waiting, he didn't care about waiting for another four years.
At that time, there were no telephones, and they only wrote letters to convey their thoughts and concerns about each other.
In 1989, Dong Wenhua graduated from the military arts and entered the General Political Song and Dance Troupe as a soloist.
In order to achieve a reunion with his wife, Zhang Nan also worked hard to enter the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and finally the loving couple was reunited in Beijing.
After that, Zhang Nan supported Dong Wenhua's career as always, and he took good care of her in life.
In the second half of 1992, when Dong Wenhua's career was rising, she suddenly found herself pregnant, and Zhang Nan was overjoyed to learn the news, but he was also afraid that his wife had some concerns.
So he immediately promised that he would not let the birth of a child delay her career development, and was about to become a mother, Dong Wenhua himself was actually very happy, from the moment she knew that she was pregnant, she did not hesitate, because it was the crystallization of their love, and Zhang Nan waited for herself for too many years.
In June 1993, Dong Wenhua successfully gave birth to a son, and they were officially upgraded from a two-person world to a happy family of three.
Dong Wenhua is immersed in the joy of motherhood, and at the same time her career has also reached a new level, for her, there is nothing more complete than this moment.
04 Storm
Just when the 1990s were coming to an end and we were about to enter the new century, a "Lai Changxing smuggling case" implicated Dong Wenhua.
At that time, because of a photo, all kinds of rumors and dirty water flooded Dong Wenhua, even if this matter had nothing to do with her, she and Lai Changxing were only a few faces.
But Dong Wenhua was still "drowned" in various rumors, just like she had become popular overnight, another page fell from the altar, Dong Wenhua did not defend herself, she began to "disappear" in the audience's sight, which also made some people believe the rumors more.
Fortunately, in Dong Wenhua's most difficult time, there was a person who never abandoned her and always believed in her innocence.
This person is Zhang Nan, from the age of 15 to 38, he has known her for 23 years, can he still not know what kind of person she is.
He told her that the purifier was self-purifying and did not need to make any excuses for himself, because he understood that whatever she said at this time was futile, and rather than being misunderstood to justify it as a cover-up, it was better to remain silent and be good to himself.
The mouth is on others, and it doesn't matter what others say, but we can be good at ourselves and have no shame.
After ten years of silence, Every appearance of Dong Wenhua can attract people's attention, some people say that Dong Wenhua is finally going to make a comeback, she just smiled and shook her head, in fact, she has never left the stage, so there is no "comeback" statement.
In fact, over the years, Dong Wenhua's original intention has never changed, she still performs on the front line and does some charity art performances.
In her spare time, she spends time with her family to make up for the lack of companionship when she was young because of her busyness.
And time really is the best proof.
Just after Dong Wenhua was affected by that storm, in 2009, she was awarded the title of "People's Favorite Artist".
The truth has finally come out to the world, how much grievances and dirty water did Dong Wenhua endure at that time?
However, with the passage of time, Dong Wenhua has long looked down on life, does not care about fame and fortune, and has been doing what she likes.
In 2019, Dong Wenhua cooperated with the powerful young actor Zhu Yilong to release the first "Long Wen" single, which was deeply appreciated and loved by fans.
Even though he was nearly sixty years old, Dong Wenhua's singing voice was still so crisp and loud, still so pleasant to the ear.
Beard said: "The sky is dark enough that the stars will shine." ”
Dong Wenhua has experienced the peak of her career and the trough, but fortunately, Zhang Nan has been with her from beginning to end, no matter how good or bad, she will not give up.
There is a moving love sentence in the "Qingmu Collection":
I love you, in this lonely and peaceful life, I want to accompany you with my love;
I love you, and for the rest of my limited life, I will guard you with my love.
Companionship and protection are the highest forms of love, and Dong Wenhua has been guarded by Zhang Nan since he was 18 years old.
Now that they have walked hand in hand for more than forty years, they will continue to be warm to each other for the rest of their lives, sharing the wind and rain and sharing the prosperity.
