His name was WanShalang, and few people may remember his name today. But what you don't know is that more than 30 years ago, Wan Shalang was also a heavyweight singer who was popular all over the country, and some people even said that he was more popular than Andy Lau at that time. But who would have thought that the popularity of Wanshalang was only a flash in the pan, and the name Wanshalang would annihilate everyone in a short period of time. The news of him again is that he accidentally fell off a building and fell into a disability, swallowed drugs and committed suicide in middle age, from being a popular singer to now no one knows, what did WanShalang experience?
Born in 1949, Wan Shalang, a Native of Taiwan, has shown a love of music since he was very young. From the literary and artistic backbone in the class and the singing activities of the school, Wan Shalang not only likes to sing, but also his friends and classmates like him to sing. But before that, Wan Shalang's singing was still based on interest, and what really made him determined to embark on the path of singer was because of his sister's influence.
Wan Shalang's sister is a singer, and after discovering that Wan Shalang loves music, her sister often takes time to instruct Wan Shalang. Slowly, Wanshalang's singing talent became prominent. During Wanshalang's schooling, he also formed a band with like-minded friends, but unfortunately, in the end, everyone went their separate ways, and the band did not follow. Only Wan Shalang, with his good singing strength, debuted as a singer like his sister and signed under Lifeng Records. Familiar people know that Lifeng Records is Teresa's company, and Wan Shalang has become Teresa's colleague.
However, at the beginning, WanShalang's career could not be regarded as tepid, and it did not stir up any splash. Wan Shalang first entered the audience's field of vision when he was 23 years old, that is, in 1972, this year, Wan Shalang was fortunate to be appreciated by director Li Xing, and sang the theme song of Director Li Xing's film "Where does the wind come from".
If anyone still remembers the name Wanshalang, they must remember this song "Where the Wind Comes From", because this song is considered to be The famous song of Wanshalang. It was after this song that Wan Shalang was named "Prince of Love Songs", and his fame at that time was close to that of Teresa Teng of the same period. Since then, Wan Shalang seems to have been opened up to the second vein of Ren Dou, and has sung the theme songs of many movies in succession, and his career is also thriving. Of course, at the same time, Wanshalang also launched a lot of popular original songs, such as: "Love You for Ten Thousand Years", "Fine Wine and Coffee", etc. At that time, Wanshalang was really a red to red hair purple in Taiwan.
However, if you want to say that the peak of Wanshalang's career should be in 1988. Because of this year, WanShalang's name drifted from Taiwan to the inland. Because the central station saw the strength of Wan Shalang, invited him to participate in the Spring Festival Gala that year. And Wan Shalang also lived up to expectations, with a "NaruWan Love Song", won the love of the national audience, let people remember this singer who wears national costumes, has a distinct temperament, and is a unique singer. Also on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the same year, Wan Shalang also cooperated with Wei Wei in a song "Gathering in the Year of the Dragon", which celebrates the New Year and contains the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Unexpectedly, after the Spring Festival Gala, Wan Shalang's name spread throughout the north and south of the river in an instant.
With the rise of fame, the most direct is that Wanshalang's value has doubled several times, and various activities and performances have been soft, adding a lot of wealth to Wanshalang. Therefore, Wan Shalang had another idea, let money make money, and enter the business. Wanshalang's idea is not only to make money, but also to consider reality. Wan Shalang understands very well that although he is alive at the moment, as a national singer with distinctive characteristics, the development path is not wide. If the audience loses its freshness, he is the first to be eliminated by the market. Based on many considerations, Wanshalang has the intention of commercial investment.
It's just a pity that Wanshalang's talent seems to exist only in singing, and he is a completely small white in business, and several investments have been lost. Worried that he would eventually lose his family, Wan Shalang later thought of a way to transfer most of the assets he had saved over the years to his wife's name. He left a small part of himself, if he wanted to invest again, it didn't matter, first, he had no money on him, and second, he didn't lose much. Logically, Wan Shalang's idea was indeed a good idea, but he did not expect that this hasty decision would lead to a half-life dilemma.
As mentioned earlier, after the Spring Festival Gala, the Wansha Wave Fire was a mess, but it did not last long, and then even fell into the situation of being banned. For some reasons, Wan Shalang was banned by the Taiwanese music scene, resulting in a cliff-like decline in his career. In fact, this is another reason why Wanshalang is eager to enter the business. Unfortunately, the singing career has gone downhill, and there has been no improvement in business. That period of time can be said to be the most decadent period of Wanshalang, so stressful that you can only rely on alcohol all day long.
Who ever wanted to be partial to the rain leaked overnight, one day in 1997, WanShalang accidentally fell from the stairs after another drunkenness, and fell seriously injured. Fortunately, WanShalang was sent to the hospital in time, and after the doctor's full rescue and treatment, he underwent three operations before and after, and Wanshalang was able to survive safely. Unfortunately, due to the limited technology at that time, Wanshalang fell ill with sequelae and suffered from dementia. The doctor speculated that if the recovery was not good, Wan Shalang's mind might only stay at about 5 years old. Such a wave of sand, not to mention singing, working, and even daily need to be taken care of.
The sudden accident, the blow to Wanshalang is undoubtedly fatal, and it is certain that he will not be able to have anything to do with the word singer for the rest of his life. However, the only thing that is thankful is that Wan Shalang has earned a lot of family property over the years, which should be enough to ensure that he has no worries in his old age.
But no one expected that in this stall, Wan Shalang was abandoned by his wife and children. Shortly after the accident of Wanshalang, Wanshalang's wife moved to the United States, and Wanshalang's four children had already gone to the United States, and they refused to come back to take care of Wanshalang on the grounds of schoolwork. Of course, if only people leave, at most say a few words about each other's thin feelings, but you must know that most of Wanshalang's savings are in the hands of his wife, and the departure of his wife and children undoubtedly sentenced Wanshalang to death. In fact, it is almost the same, at the beginning, WanShalang's wife also perfunctorily paid Wanshalang's medical expenses, and then there was no news at all.
At this time, Wan Shalang's situation was embarrassing, and after being seriously injured, he couldn't remember the people around him at all, and basically relied on a wheelchair to move. Obviously a big trouble, Wanshalang's brothers and sisters are not willing to touch their hands. What people did not expect was that at this moment, an unexpected person stepped forward and took over the responsibility of taking care of WanShalang, who was Wanshalang's ex-girlfriend. And no one expected that this care was more than 20 years, during which Wan Shalang's wife and children did not appear, and only she has not abandoned. Why did she get to this point? This has to start from her acquaintance with Wan Shalang.
Her name is Guo Shufen, and she and Wan Shalang met in 1977, when WanShalang's career was a little improving. Once, when Wan Shalang went to a bar, he accidentally met a woman who was dressed up in a gorgeous way and had a good face, she was Guo Shufen. At that time, Wan Shalang only felt that the other party's every move was pulling his own heartstrings, which deeply attracted his eyes. Of course, Wan Shalang understood that he was moved, and he did not hesitate and immediately began to pursue Guo Shufen fiercely.
At the beginning, Guo Shufen did not know that Wan Shalang was a singer, but in the process of getting along with Wan Shalang, Guo Shufen felt happy, and the two had common topics and similar laughs, in short, it was a good fit. In addition, Wan Shalang is handsome and sincere, and Guo Shufen is quickly impressed by him. Soon after, Guo Shufen learned the identity of Wan Shalang and was a singer, and Guo Shufen's good feelings for him also evolved into worship, and naturally the two became lovers and fell in love.
But no one expected that the accident came so suddenly, and in the same year, WanShalang's parents arranged a marriage for Wanshalang. At this time, Wan Shalang, who was devoted to Guo Shufen, was unwilling to accept the "parents' order", but Wan Shalang's parents learned that their son fell in love with a woman they met in a bar, and they arbitrarily thought that it was a dusty woman on the other side, and forced Wan Shalang to marry more forcefully. After all, the other party they arranged was a big bridesmaid of the local famous family.
In the end, Wan Shalang did not beat his parents, he chose to compromise, broke up with Guo Shufen, and married the woman arranged by his parents. After marriage, although Wan Shalang and his wife did not have a vigorous love, they also respected each other, and the two gave birth to four children at the request of their parents. Wan Shalang originally thought that he would spend the rest of his life with his wife. But Wan Shalang did not know that with his apologies to Guo Shufen, he was estranged from his wife's life, which also planted a thorn in his wife's heart. Perhaps, this is another reason why after WanShalang fell ill, his wife did not return her head.
Wan Shalang did not expect that a change of heart would appear, and at the lowest point of his life, the person who did not abandon him was the woman he felt most guilty about. Of course, when Guo Shufen came to WanShalang's side, Wanshalang did not know. As mentioned earlier, Wanshalang suffered from dementia, which was fine after the operation, but the situation was not obvious. But perhaps under the double blow of being abandoned by his wife and children and being disliked by relatives and friends, Wanshalang's memory and intelligence deterioration were very serious, and he did not even know the people around him for a time. However, Guo Shufen did not complain about this in the slightest, she still single-mindedly took care of WanShalang, and even used her savings to take Wanshalang around for medical treatment.
Unfortunately, Guo Shufen is just an ordinary family, with little savings, and finally Wan Shalang's condition did not improve, but the two people's lives became increasingly difficult. Because she had to take care of WanShalang, Guo Shufen had no time to work at all, and she really had no money, so Guo Shufen could only borrow money from her friends, Wanshalang's friends and relatives with a thick face. But once or twice was fine, the number of times was more, and they all avoided Guo Shufen. Later, Guo Shufen also tried to apply for a minimum guarantee for herself and Wan Shalang, but Wan Shalang's wife and children were still there, which did not conform to the policy. In the end, he only reluctantly applied for a disability allowance for Wanshalang, but the meager subsidy was difficult to maintain even the normal living expenses, not to mention the treatment cost of Wanshalang.
Surprisingly, at this moment, Wan Shalang regained his sanity, and he saw Guo Shufen next to him, holding her and crying bitterly. But at that time, Wan Shalang could not face the current situation, he lost the courage to live, and thought of death. And Guo Shufen felt that the only thing she could do was to accompany Wan Shalang to die together, and the two were accompanied by each other on the Huangquan Road.
Therefore, one day in 2004, Guo Shufen prepared the medicine in advance and took it with Wan Shalang. However, just as her consciousness became more and more confused, Guo Shufen felt a hint of unwillingness in her heart: Is it really gone? Obviously said good together to the white head. Perhaps because she was really unwilling, Guo Shufenqiang braced herself against her physical discomfort and dialed 120.
In the end, fortunately, both Guo Shufen and Wan Shalang were rescued. At the same time, there was an uproar in society, and at the same time, countless media rushed to interview. Some people who know Wanshalang are also sighing, and the once-popular Wanshalang is so embarrassed that he committed suicide!
Whatever the purpose of these people, thankfully, the situation of Wanshalang has received widespread attention from society. Many charities have reached out, and two of them have also pledged to continue Wan Shalang and Guo Shufen's 10,000 aid every month. Happily, the two old men are still safe and sound, because of Guo Shufen's strength, the two are really whiteheads together.
