Years later, talking about the days of divorce from her ex-husband, Wei Wei described,
"You can't do anything, for the sake of the child, you have to fight a battle on your back."
The marriage of Wei Wei and the Swedish pianist Michael Smith was once considered a love union of talented women.
In 1994, the 31-year-old Wei Wei gave up everything in China and desperately followed her husband to Sweden.
She thought that the new life was beckoning to her, but she fell into the abyss.
After marriage, the husband tore off the gentle mask and revealed the nature of the domestic violence man.
In order to regain custody of his son, Wei was threatened with death again and again.
It wasn't until 2004 that she returned home with her three sons.
Now that 18 years have passed in a flash, her life with her ex-husband has also been very different...
01
Wei Wei is one of the outstanding female singers of our time.
Some people think she is "China's Whitney Houston", some people think she is "China's Madonna", and others think she is "China's Celine Dion".
Her position in the music world is irrefutable, but her emotional life is full of twists and turns.
Wei Wei was born in 1963 in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.
Her father, Zhang Yu, was a veteran who had fought in many major battles and settled in Hohhot with all his wounds and honors.
His mother, Wei Xiuqun, was a railway worker.
There are three brothers and sisters in the family, and she is the old man.
Her mother named her "Zhang Juxia", which may sound a bit rustic now.
But at that time, "Kasumi" conveyed the meaning of warmth, beauty, positivity, and vitality, and the name contained her mother's deep wishes for her.
Wei Wei, who grew up in Inner Mongolia, did inherit the local people's ability to sing and dance.
Although no one in her family worked in the art industry, she showed amazing talent from an early age.
She began learning to sing and dance at the age of 4.
The mother could not bear to waste her daughter's talent, and at the age of 6, she was sent to the Palace of Culture for special training.
At the age of 8, she can already perform on stage, and she is generous and does not shy away from the stage.
In the same year, because of his father's job transfer, the family came to Liuzhou, Guangxi from Inner Mongolia.
No matter where she was, she was the backbone of the school's literature and art.
Wei Wei, who is outgoing and cheerful and can sing and dance, has won the love of many people.
But only her father always looked down on her in all kinds of ways.
Zhang Yu, who was born in the military, has a different personality and has implemented unified militarized management for his three children.
He has a violent personality, Wei Wei is stubborn, and the father and daughter are inseparable.
Zhang Yu often pointed at Wei Wei and scolded, "Just go and die." ”
In his father's place, Wei Wei could rarely feel the warmth of his father's love.
Her relationship with her father had always been rigid.
When she was 14 years old, she was selected by the Beijing Railway Cultural and Labor Corps.
The two places were thousands of miles apart, and in the face of Beijing, where people were not familiar with each other, Wei Wei did not return to the train.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would never come back.
At the age of 14, she would rather be alone and not bear to stay with her father anymore.
The days of the North Drift were very hard, and Wei Wei, who was a student in the literary troupe, was actually no different from a handyman.
What tiring work, dirty work she needs to do, hard work a month only 15 yuan,
Planing the money for food and accommodation, she lived tightly every month.
I also have to save up a sum of money to give to my mother every Spring Festival.
It is said that the daughter is a sweet little cotton jacket, and this sentence is not false at all.
It's just that Wei Wei's "intimate little cotton jacket" is only relative to his mother.
In her father's eyes, she is obedient and rebellious, and she is still inferior to her well-behaved and obedient brother and sister.
In the ten years of working in the literary troupe, Wei Wei only returned home twice, and these two times he rushed back in his father's absence.
Her disgust with her father is undisguised,
After coming to Beijing, the leaders of the Cultural and Labor Corps felt that her previous name was rustic and suggested that she change her foreign name.
Wei Wei did not want to change to his mother's surname and changed his name to "Wei Wei".
Because of her father, she didn't like boys with machismo personalities.
As she grew older, she became more and more prominent.
Wei Wei's appearance is very deep and has an exotic charm.
There are not a few boys in the literary troupe who pursue her.
However, she only looked at Fu Disheng, who had a gentle and considerate personality.
It was the Fu Di Sheng who sang "Confidant and Lover".
However, when the two fell in love, they were not famous.
In 1966, Fu Disheng Xiao Weiwei, who was born in Tangshan, Hebei Province, was 3 years old and was a flute player in the regiment.
Although the two are sister and brother in love, in life, Fu Disheng often takes care of Wei Wei more.
He was gentle in nature and obedient to Wei Wei.
The two live in the same building, living a simple but happy life.
However, such a simple and happy life could not resist the temptation of fame and fortune.
02
In 1986, Wei Wei participated in the Youth Song Contest.
As the most authoritative competition at that time, the Youth Song Competition became the pursuit of many musicians.
There were so many talents here that even Wei Wei failed to take the crown, and finally won the second place.
It is worth mentioning that the champion that year was Su Hong, and the third runner-up was Mao Amin.
After the Qingge Sai became famous, Li Guyi quickly noticed her good seedling.
In the same year, Li Guyi's light music troupe was established, and she immediately threw an olive branch to Wei Wei.
For Wei Wei, Li Guyi was very important.
The resources in the troupe are not only inclined to Wei Wei, she also opens a small stove for Wei Wei from time to time and takes her to perform.
Under her full cultivation, Wei Wei's fame was getting bigger and bigger.
And the contradiction between her and Fu Disheng is also increasing.
The "strong woman and weak man" mode of getting along is the premise of many emotional breakdowns.
In 1987, the relationship between the two also came to an end.
The frustration on the emotional scene did not affect her pride in the workplace.
After that, as China's first national representative, she participated in the 24th Sopot International Music Festival in Poland, and won the special award for singing and the double award for Miss Most Photogenic.
In 1989, the 26-year-old Wei Wei stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
This year, "The Dedication of Love" was sung all over the streets of the country.
The song, written by Huang Qishi and composed by Liu Shizhao, tells the story of a crowd working hard to save a sick child.
The lyrics are easy to understand, the melody is warm and soothing, like a trickle, accompanied by Wei Wei's singing, warming everyone's heart.
As the song goes, "As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world." ”
As the original singer, Wei Wei became popular all over the country in this year,
It has become one of the classic memories of the Spring Festival Gala.
The following year, Wei Wei and Liu Huan collaborated on "Asian Majesty".
In 1990, at China's first Asian Games, the song once again caused a sensation.
"We in Asia mountains are high heads
We in Asia are like blood flowing
Our Asian trees are rooted in roots
We in Asia Cloud also shake hands
Mangyuan wrapped jade belt field weaving colored silk
Asian winds are blowing
Asia's mighty winds roared
We are beautiful in Asia
We are also rich in Asian products
We in Asia are the most industrious
We Asian athletes are more mercurial
Four Seas Meeting Guests Five continents make friends
Asian winds are blowing
The Asian wind roars in the sky
Cheer up the Asian wind roaring
Cheer up the Asian wind roaring..."
This song pushed Liu Huan and Wei Wei's career to another peak.
If "The Dedication of Love" only makes Wei Wei famous all over the world, then this "Asian Style" is to make her internationally famous.
At that time, Wei Wei's career was like a day in the sky.
As a young super diva she should have been starry-strewn brightly.
However, all this was broken by her own hands.
03
Wei Wei's second love affair was with Hou Yaowen.
Hou Yaowen was born in a cross-talk family, and his father was the famous master of music and art, Hou Baolin.
He himself was also very talented, and his achievements in cross-talk were no less than his father's, and there was a very famous disciple named Guo Degang, who was now the head of the Deyun Society.
Hou Yaowen was 15 years old, and when the two were together, Hou Yaowen had not divorced.
He had a wife who had suffered together and a young daughter.
The relationship between the two is doomed to not be on the table.
But Wei Wei was still impressed by Hou Yaowen's elegant and generous temperament, and was willing to be pointed out by Wanfu to pursue love.
Under pressure, Hou Yaowen divorced the original match, and his daughter hated him for the rest of her life.
But Wei Wei did not get what he wanted.
Because after Hou Yaowen divorced, he met a younger and more beautiful Yuan Yin.
Wei Wei was full of insults and ended this ridiculous relationship.
Before she could dry her tears, another bad news fell from the sky.
Li Guyi, who regarded her as his own daughter and treated her with kindness, took her to court.
Everything Wei Wei did today was inseparable from Li Guyi's great help.
A pair of masters and apprentices with such a good relationship are now inseparable from the media in the past.
Wei Wei was the well-deserved "top stream" of that year.
The so-called "red is not much", I don't know when it began, the news about her suffering from AIDS spread more and more.
All kinds of media follow the hype, and the articles are written with noses and eyes.
Before Wei Wei could understand what was happening, he was turned away by all the business actors.
Even now, AIDS is a dizzying topic.
As long as Wei Wei went out, the people around her were eager to be far away from her, and no one was willing to eat next to her.
Everyone avoided her.
Others pointed at her, thinking that she was just wrong to get sick.
For no reason, I carried such a big cauldron.
Wei Wei began to investigate the origin of the matter.
As a result, it was found on the head of her mentor Li Guyi.
Some media claimed that it was from the mouth of Li Guyi.
However, the fact is that Wei Wei was running back and forth at that time, his career was tired, and his mental state was very bad.
Out of concern, Li Guyi exhorted: You have a cold and fever, and you have red envelopes on your head, so you have to go to the hospital to see.
But the news did not know how to reach the ears of the media.
After the other party's oil and vinegar, it evolved into Wei Wei suffering from AIDS.
After that, Wei Wei was interviewed by Nanyang's "Sound Screen Weekly" and wanted to wash away his stigma.
However, the "Sound Screen Weekly" made its own claim, in the article "Some people say that she has a terrible disease, some people simply say that she has committed suicide, and public opinion is not the same." The famous singer Wei Wei accepted a telephone interview with this newspaper to explain the reason, from Wei Wei's point of view, he spilled all the sewage on Li Guyi.
As soon as the article was published, Li Gu stood on the cusp of the wind and waves in an instant.
Although the network was not developed enough at that time, the poisoned text was sent to Li Guyi like a snowflake.
The 48-year-old Li Guyi was angry with his head and burst out of his mouth, spreading rumors and breaking his leg.
This incident had a great impact on her career.
She simply sued the media involved and Wei Shuang in court.
The love between master and disciple also dissipated with the court of the book.
The two broke up for more than 10 years and never shared the same stage again.
The successive scandals made Wei Wei highly questioned by the public, and after breaking off with Enshien, she returned home full of grief.
Everyone has a child in their heart, and after being wronged outside, they want to go home and seek comfort.
She thought she could be like a normal child, relieved by her parents,
"It doesn't matter, we'll always be your back."
However, she was greeted only by the scolding of her father's scowling head and covering her face,
"Why don't you die, you hurry up and die."
At that moment, Wei Wei's whole heart was cold.
She turned her head and left, and the father and daughter did not see each other for 14 years.
Until Wei Wei's father died of illness, neither father nor daughter could say a word well.
This also became a regret that Wei Wei could not let go.
At that time, when Wei Wei was not understood by everyone and stood alone in public opinion, only one person stood by her side.
04
In 1992, Michael accompanied the Swedish Cultural Group to China for an exchange visit.
Wei Wei was invited to perform, and she finally appeared in the finale, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she surprised Michael.
Michael David was born in the United States in 1938 at the age of 25.
He is a Swedish pianist, musician, and with good musical achievements, he is also respected by the American media as the "father of modern music".
Wei Wei's incomparable singing voice greatly inspired him.
As soon as the performance was over, he found Wei Wei non-stop and sent her an invitation to record songs.
At that time, Wei Wei was physically and mentally exhausted by the torment of life and career.
Wanting to start over in a different place, she accepted the olive branch thrown by Michael.
The two talk about music, life, and ideals in Michael's luxurious villa in Sweden.
The scenery in Sweden is beautiful and time always flies.
During this time, Michael wrote 10 songs for her, included on the album Always Be a Lover.
This is Wei Wei's first attempt at an English album, and it is also a huge challenge for her.
After the release of the album, it received a warm response abroad.
A U.S. record label bought out the rights to the song directly.
However, the album has been unpopular in China, and not everyone can accept Wei Wei's transformation.
But at that time, Wei Wei was no longer in China.
During the days and nights together, she and Michael fell in love.
Ruasven, and the romantic Michael soothed her heart full of strong sores.
Even while the two were living together, she became pregnant with Michael's child.
Michael also had a family, and he did not file for divorce from his wife until Wei Wei became pregnant.
His wife and Michael had been married for many years and were not at fault, and she was adamant that she would not divorce him.
Seeing that Wei Wei's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Michael finally sent his ex-wife away with a huge amount of compensation, thus holding the beautiful return.
In 1994, Wei Wei married Michael.
After giving birth to their eldest son, Wei Ziming, the couple returned home with their child.
But Zhang Yu did not agree to his daughter marrying an elderly foreigner.
The father and daughter confronted each other on the phone, and Zhang Yu even forced Wei Wei to give in by severing the father-daughter relationship.
However, his actions could only push Wei Wei farther and farther.
After marrying Michael, Wei Wei reduced his outings and began to concentrate on his husband and godson.
In the following years, he gave birth to his second son, Wei Zirui, and his youngest son, Wei Ziyu.
Soon after, China's "GOOD Good Housewives" magazine also deliberately filmed the picture of their family of four enjoying themselves.
The combination of talented people and beautiful people once became the envy of everyone.
Michael also wrote "My Chinese Wife - Wei Wei" specifically for his wife.
He wrote affectionately,
"I love everything about you: your good, your bad, your mistakes, your pain, your beauty, your joy... All of this, in another twenty years, you will understand this, I am your admirer, your fan, your slave... I will be as a person you want me to be, and no matter where you are, I will go with you..."
Everyone thought that Wei Wei had gone through ups and downs and finally achieved happiness.
However, in 2003, her divorce petition to Michael finally tore up all the masks.
It is false to be polite to a gentleman, and it is false to be faithful to his wife.
Faded to the surface of mildness, Michael is actually a scumbag of domestic violence women.
He would hit Wei Wei hard, and he would take advantage of Wei Wei's lack of messaging.
In this pain, Wei Wei could not bear it any longer, she wanted a divorce, but Michael was not willing to let her go easily.
He transferred his property privately.
Wei Wei and his three children's passports were withheld without permission.
Michael also hired two bodyguards, armed with long guns, and stayed at home to keep an eye on Wei Wei.
In July 2003, Wei Wei, who was driving a shopping alone, just got on the road and found that the car was wrong.
After inspection, it was found that the brakes of the car were passive.
At this moment, Wei Wei was cold all over his body.
She didn't have to think about it to know whose hands and feet it was.
This made her more determined to leave the man.
She would rather not have property, get out of the house, and leave with her 3 sons.
The two sides tug-of-war for a long time, and Michael kept sending her horrible text messages in an attempt to force her back.
But this can only stimulate the stubbornness in her nature.
In 2004, after a war against the water, she finally returned to China with her son as she wished.
After returning to China, Wei Wei's fame was no longer there, and what was worse was that her body had already collapsed unconsciously.
In 2007, Wei Wei, who was working, fainted.
Wei Wei, who had been tired for a long time and could not rest, had heart problems.
On the advice of the doctor, she had to pause and stop to rest.
Fortunately, the 3 sons have grown up very well under her upbringing.
Three sons and two Peking University high school students, and one is a boxing champion.
At the graduation ceremony of the eldest son, he expressed his mother affectionately,
"I want to thank the most important people in my life, her being my great mother Wei Wei and my two most beloved brothers. Mom, thank you for raising our three brothers to adulthood with hard work, giving us a warm and happy home with your hard work, letting us see the beauty of this world, and letting us have a wonderful life. ”
In the company of his sons, Wei Wei's body slowly improved.
In December last year, Wei Wei, who had recovered from good health, returned to the stage and sang passionately at the Winter Olympics.
Now her life is complete, and her sons are better than one,
After raising her son with illness, she was bitter.
Unlike her was her ex-husband.
At 70, Michael remarried, a white model, more than 20 years his junior, and the two had no children.
As he grew older, looking at the empty house, he missed his 3 sons more and more.
Wei Wei did not prevent the connection between their father and son.
The 3 sons would come back to see him when they were free.
But for them, the mother is always the most important.
They still live with their mother in China.
Only Michael occasionally shed tears of remorse in the dead of night.
