Along with Huang Xia and Qiao Yu, he is known as the "Three Masters of the Word World", and he is also the royal lyricist of Teresa Teng, and 70% of Teresa Teng's songs are written by him.
He has created more than 3,000 works in his lifetime, and until the moment of his death, he is unwilling to put down the pen in his hand.
Record the imprint of the times, recall classic moments, and taste the taste of life. In this issue, ziya children's fun number of popular characters will tell the story of the lyricist Zhuang Nu.
During his schooling, the hot-blooded teenagers joined the army
Zhuang Nu was born in Beijing in 1921 and was originally named Wang Jingxi. His father was a soldier, and after the Japanese invasion of China, his father took the stand of the anti-Japanese resistance, which led to the fall of the family, and the Zhuangnu family when he was a child was poor.
Even so, the family paid for the education of four children, and their school was a church school, where Zhuang Nu learned a song that he would never forget, "Homecoming.".
After graduating in 1941, Zhuang Nu was admitted to the China Academy of Journalism. At that time, Zhuang Nu, one of the other well-known universities in Beijing, had passed the entrance examination, and the reason why they chose the journalism school was because the people who enrolled in the school could each be given a bag of noodles.
At that time, Beijing was occupied by the Japanese, and Zhuang Nu's father was a champion of anti-Japanese resistance, so Zhuang Nu and his family were very miserable on weekdays, and he needed this bag of noodles to support his family.
But the school days didn't last long, because of Japan's brutality and patriotic enthusiasm.
In 1943, Zhuang Nu left the school, quietly returned home, said goodbye to his father and mother, left Beijing, and secretly went to the rear to join the anti-Japanese team.
At that time, he changed his name from Wang Jingxi to Yellow River, indicating his determination to defend his hometown and defend the Yellow River in the War of Resistance.
But fighting a war is not based on a heart of blood, fighting a war is to bleed and be injured, and zhuang nu who went to the battlefield is no exception, and if he was seriously ill on the battlefield, if he was not lucky to be healed by herbs, he may have died on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war early.
Because he had studied, Zhuang Nu, who was rescued, turned to apply for the Air Force pilot examination, but due to his poor physical fitness, he was transferred to the ground service, and after three months of training in Chongqing, he was sent to Chengdu School.
In those years, he also went back once in total, and when he saw Zhuang Nu return, his mother only said that he had returned, and did not say more, but when he left home again, this time the separation became a farewell.
When he went to Taiwan, he began to make a living by lyrics
In 1949, Zhuang Nu came to Taiwan with the army, looking at the vast sea, Zhuang Nu stood on the coast more than once and missed his hometown.
However, at this time, the first thing Zhuang Nu needed to meet was his own food and clothing problems, so he threw himself into the songwriting production at that time.
The time has come to 1959, the career has been tepid Zhuang Nu, with the success of the movie "Water Swing Yi Love", as a songwriter, Zhuang Nu's reputation has also begun in Taiwan.
In the 1960s, Taiwan's film industry began to flourish, and countless filmmakers turned their attention to Zhuang Nu, writing a song of Zhuang Nu, at this time receiving countless contracts.
What really made Zhuang Nu enter the public eye was a single "Sweet Honey" released by Teresa Teng in 1979, which was released in the same year with a circulation of more than one million, and was still widely sung in the following decades.
Interestingly, as a lyricist and singer Teresa Teng, I have only seen one face in my life.
Zhuang Nu did not remember when it was, but only that she had unilaterally seen Teresa Teng lijun who had seen it unilaterally in a singing competition and was still a little girl to Zhuang Nu.
When Zhuang Nu got the song of "Sweet Honey", he did not meet with Teresa Teng, but just took a picture of Teresa Teng and looked at it, he felt that although the girl in front of him did not look particularly stunning, her singing voice was sweet, her face was sweet, and her smile was sweet.
Zhuang Nu, who has decades of experience in writing lyrics, suddenly thought of something in his mind, and wrote sweet honey when he started, you smiled sweetly... As soon as the inspiration comes, the pen in my hand is more playfully waved.
In less than five minutes, this most widely sung song was written by Zhuang Nu, as the lyrics of the most overlapping words written by Zhuang Nu in his life, which may also be his most intuitive feeling for Teresa Teng.
After that, Zhuang Nu and Teresa Teng began to cooperate more closely, and "See Cooking Smoke Again" and "Story of a Small Town" were also sung in Teresa Teng's songs to every corner of the country at that time.
In Teresa Teng's life, seventy percent of the songs were written by Zhuang Nu, who was like a teacher and a friend, and she confessed that if there was no Zhuang Nu, there would be no Teresa Teng.
Zhuang Nu said that without Teresa There would be no Zhuang Nu, they are interdependent and influence each other, if it were not for Teresa Teng or Chuang Nu's words would not be so famous.
To save his wife, spend all your savings
Although the two did not meet, but the correspondence was extremely frequent, Teresa Teng's ancestral home is Hebei, Zhuang Nu is from Beijing, when the two sides are in contact with letters, Teresa Teng will always call Zhuang Nu "hometown teacher", Zhuang Nu is called "naughty Xiaoli".
If Teresa Teng has any worries, she will also talk to Zhuang Nu, who is 32 years older than her.
At that time, Zhuang Nu's wife suffered from uremia, could not be cured, only chemotherapy, in that era when the average salary was only hundreds of yuan, the cost of chemotherapy was as high as thousands of yuan, and chemotherapy was at least 2 times a month.
The heavy medical burden was on Zhuang Nu's body, because he could not be separated from people around him, in order to better take care of his sick wife, he almost gave up all his work and accompanied his wife all the time, which represented that the Zhuang Nu family had no income.
After Teresa Teresa learned of these news, she also said that she wanted to help Zhuang Nu and fund zhuang nu to solve the dilemma, but he politely refused, the gentleman's friendship was as light as water, and he did not want to cause trouble to Teresa Teng, who was both a friend and a junior because of his own affairs.
After ten years of staying up like this, Zhuang Nu's wife was gone, and the ten-year treatment also made Zhuang Nu, who was still relatively wealthy, become ruined, not only did his savings for many years be spent, but even his own house was sold.
There is no regret about these slaves, and there is only grief in their hearts about the death of their wives.
In 1995, his friend and apprentice Teresa Teresa also died. For this matter, Zhuang Nu was even more difficult to hide his sad emotions.
In Zhuang Nu's heart, the deepest buried emotions are always homesickness.
At the end of the 1980s, as soon as the two sides of the Taiwan Strait opened, Zhuang Nu couldn't bear the urgency and came to Beijing from Taiwan to find his family, but he didn't find any clues when he went around.
After that, he inquired about his household registration in Beijing and finally learned that his sister was still alive.
When he got on the plane to Beijing again, before he got on the plane, he wrote a letter to his sister, telling her not to cry when they met.
However, when zhuang nu landed on the plane, the tears of the nearly homely Zhuang nu couldn't help but flow down.
Every year after that, Zhuang Nu would fly back to Beijing from Taiwan, and for him, the feeling of going home was the best.
Due to the opening up of the two sides of the strait, the contact between Zhuang Nu and the mainland has also become more, and CCTV and local governments have invited Zhuang Nu to compose music, fill in the lyrics, and participate in the program.
It was also in such extensive exchanges that Zhuang Nu recognized his second wife, Zou Lin, who was already in his seventies at the time, and the death of his wife had made him discourage the idea of remarrying.
When he went to Chongqing, his friend in Chongqing introduced Zou Lin to him, Zhuang Nu Da Zou Lin was 23 years old, but Zou Lin did not dislike Zhuang Nu's old age, nor did he dislike Zhuang Nu poor, and the two came together in this way.
In order to compensate his wife, Zhuang Nu once went on the show and confessed that now he wants to write more songs, and when he dies, he will give all his income to his wife Zou Lin to improve her life.
On October 11, 2016, the Taishan Beidou of the domestic songwriting industry died of illness in Chongqing at the age of 95.
On the eve of Mr. Zhuang Nu's farewell party, a number of musicians jointly released a new work " Remembering the Cooking Smoke Again " to commemorate Mr. Zhuang Nu.
Although Mr. Zhuang Nu has left forever, the songs he has produced will always stay in our hearts and cannot be forgotten for a long time. If you like my article, please follow me, like and retweet for me, every encouragement from you will be the motivation for me to make a better article.
