Zhu Mingying is a famous singer and song and dance performance artist in mainland China.
The song she sang, "Back to the Mother's House", can be described as popular all over the country, and as soon as the familiar melody sounds, men, women and children can hum a few words, like some kind of ability that is invariably the same, and there is no better way to change customs than music.
She is also a successful entrepreneur and the first generation of successful entrepreneurs in the cultural circle.
But there is no such thing as the best of both worlds,
Compared with the remarkable achievements she has made in her career, she has a desolation in the eyes of ordinary people in her life.
In 1950, Zhu Mingying was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, her original name was Zhang Mingying, when she was four or five years old, her mother remarried to Shandong, and she followed her stepfather's surname Zhu.
Having experienced family breakdown since she was a child, she actually longed for the warmth of her family in her heart. Her stepfather was neither bad nor bad for her, and at first she was always afraid and hiding from this strange man.
Fortunately, the days were stable, and Zhu Mingying was always very restrained at home, so her mother took her to play outside as soon as she had time.
Once she saw Xin Fengxia performing on the stage, which deeply attracted Little Zhu Mingying, so gorgeous costumes, so beautiful dance posture made her eyes unable to turn.
Since then, as soon as she has time, she has pestered her mother to take her to see a play, like an obsession. She had the idea of applying for dance school, and her mother was also unconditionally supportive.
At that time, my mother was already suffering from cancer, and she was still running around learning to dance for her daughter. When she applied for the dance academy in her first year, the teacher thought that her own conditions were not suitable for learning dance and was rejected.
Her mother advised her to change her form and learn something else.
Zhu Mingying worked harder: as long as I practiced hard and danced well enough, I would definitely be selected. She danced day and night.
The next year, her mother accompanied her to retake the exam and came to the Oriental Dance Class of Beijing Dance School as she wished. She was the oldest at the time, but she worked harder than her classmates, practiced every day, and she had the best grades, and after graduation she became an actress in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
At this time, the mother was suffering from illness and died of cancer. Before dying, she told her daughter Zhu Mingying: No matter what, women must have a career of their own, which is the skill they rely on to survive, and the career must not be lost.
She deeply agreed with her mother's words, devoted herself to work, and after several years of hard work, she became the pillar of the regiment.
At the age of 31, she married her playmate Wang Mingqi from childhood, and the love of Qingmei Bamboo Horse was strongly favored by the parents of the two families.
Soon after his marriage, he gave birth to a son, Wang Jue.
As a dancer, she knows that she can't eat youth rice for a few years, and dance can't be danced all the time. At that time, there were no actors in the song and dance troupe who sang and danced well, Zhu Mingying thought that she had a good voice, if she could learn foreign languages and sing well, it could become a major feature of the troupe, and she set herself the goal of learning foreign languages and singing Asian, African and Latin American songs.
At the age of thirty, she began to learn foreign languages from the basic alphabet, and others advised her not to waste her efforts, she did not listen, went to a place far away from home to find a teacher with less fees to tutor, and picked a lamp at night to learn hard. After mastering more than three thousand words, she was admitted to a foreign language refresher class.
In addition to learning foreign languages, she also went to find teachers everywhere to teach her to sing, and after imitating many foreign language songs, her voice and musicality have been greatly improved. She also went to the foreign students of the language institute to find someone to exchange and study with each other.
In 1979, in a performance, Zhu Mingying's foreign language songs were refreshing to the masses who were tired of listening to the traditional opera road, thus opening up a wonderful path for the performance of the song and dance troupe.
In the past five years, Zhu Mingying has sung on stage and in film and television dramas, and she has also sung songs for the personnel of the mainland's diplomatic friendly countries. It is entirely possible to describe her as red and purple.
However, she concentrated on fighting for her career, her son was not taken care of, she was often the last to be picked up after school, there was no one to take care of the family, and the whole life was chaotic.
At that time, most of the women were at home with their husbands and children, and the husband could not stand the lack of care for the family, and her concept was also incompatible, and soon the two divorced peacefully. The husband immediately remarried, Zhu Mingying focused on his career, his son Wang Jue was taken care of by his father, and his stepmother was also good to him.
At that time, the state had the opportunity to study at its own expense, and at the right time, Zhu Mingying chose to precipitate herself, study abroad, and receive formal music education.
The only thing she didn't want was her son, but she didn't have the ability to go abroad with her son at that time, and after paying the tuition, she only had $46 left. So he promised his son to pick him up when he gained a foothold abroad.
When she arrived in the United States, a foreign country, Zhu Mingying needed to overcome many difficulties.
In order to pay for the high monthly tuition fees, she works while studying.
Three or four jobs a day, washing dishes as a waiter as a maid busy, no matter how dirty and tired she does not cry bitter.
At the Berklee Conservatory of Music, her foreign language foundation is poor, these music courses are heavenly books for her, the class lessons can not be understood, she often writes down all the things the teacher says, and works hard at night to translate and study.
In this way, she caught up with the worst students day and night, slowly caught up, and actually became the first place in the school, receiving a full scholarship for eight semesters, and is still the holder of the school's full scholarship.
These are not the most difficult to endure, thinking of her hometown, thinking of her son makes her cry alone, she is working hard to earn money in addition to studying, and she wants to take her son here to study and live as soon as possible.
After completing her studies, she took her son to the United States.
In the United States, she lives in Cambridge University, surrounded by first-class universities in Harvard and MIT, and she thinks that her son can get into a good university here, succeed in his studies, and be an industrialist.
Unexpectedly, my son also loved music so much that he wanted to enter the conservatory.
Zhu Mingying did not feel that her son had a talent for music, she knew the hardships of this line of work, and did not want her son to get involved, but Wang Jue was very stubborn.
Once when her son offered to give him pocket money to buy food, she didn't think much about it and gave him an extra five dollars a month, and when she went to see her son in the dormitory, she found that he had hoarded a large bag of instant noodles, and when she asked, she knew that her son had saved the money to buy records and tapes.
Since then, she has supported her son's decision, and it is a big deal to give him four years to play, and it is okay to learn something else after hitting a wall.
Tiger father has no dog, did not expect his son and her to be admitted to the same university, eight semesters, seven semesters to achieve full A results, get a full scholarship, second only to his mother.
For her son's achievements, Zhu Mingying is very pleased.
The windfall in the United States has given Zhu Mingying a prototype for her future entrepreneurial path. She met an American couple who were Chinese, influential in the American chemical industry, and had done business for many years.
The old couple without children treated Zhu Mingying as if they were their own,
They took Zhu Mingying into a financial company and was responsible for introducing advanced equipment from the United States to Chinese pharmaceutical and chemical companies. Learn about operations management.
She handles affairs at the largest automation company in the United States and has saved millions of dollars by negotiating low prices for foreign equipment imported by the country.
After returning to China, Zhu Mingying founded a cultural industry company, she successfully transformed into an entrepreneur, and her singing career has never been interrupted.
After her son Wang Jue returned to China, he signed a contract with her and is now a well-known singer-songwriter in the music industry.
Active in the music scene for many years, Zhu Mingying is known as the evergreen tree of the art world, and when she mentions the decades she has spent with her son, she still has some bitterness that cannot be ignored by outsiders.
Because she experienced the divorce of her parents since she was a child, and her marriage ended in failure, she knew that her son longed for his parents to have a complete family together.
The huge difference in life with her husband, she described: I said it was black, he said it was white, I wanted to go east he had to go west, both people are good people, but neither can move to each other, separation is the best choice for two people.
If the husband chooses to remarry, if she also re-establishes the family, then the son will feel that he is a victim of the unfortunate family. In order to let her son have a home and not feel like an outsider everywhere, Zhu Mingying was single for forty years after divorcing her husband.
When Wang Jue grew up, she also understood her mother's good intentions, and she sacrificed her happiness to protect him. In one program, Wang Jue married her 72-year-old mother: her son grew up and hoped that her mother would live for herself and have her own happiness in the future.
The first time Zhu Mingying heard her son say this, the two people really loved each other deeply, but they didn't say it.
For marriage, she made up her mind not to step in again, career and sons need her, as for marriage, it is difficult to meet fate, everything goes with the flow.
When Wang Jue grew up, she did not talk about love, so she talked to her son. It turned out that he was afraid of gaining happiness and losing it again, and the fragmentation of the original family still brought him psychological shadows.
She encouraged her son to bravely pursue happiness, to love as hard as he could, to guard with his heart, and sincerity could always meet sincerity.
Wang Jue began to fall in love and get married, Zhu Mingying had more daughters-in-law to love her, and this lonely woman for a lifetime also felt the happiness and consummation of the family.
Today, at the age of 72, Wang Ying is still single, and secular marriage should not be the standard by which a woman is happy. If the fate comes, I also hope that she has a confidant to guard her.
Sincere people who work hard are always worthy of being loved!
