At the end of the 1980s, there was a TV series "Miss Pry" that was all the rage, and it became a classic memory, and there was the interlude " Dedication " .
Of course, there is also Zhang Mi, who sings this song.
Mentioning this name will definitely evoke the memories of many people, because in those years, she not only sang "Dedication", but also won the fourth National Young Singers Television Grand Prix in 1990, and appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage for two consecutive years in 1991 and 1992.
In 1993, she starred in the TV series "Lone Star" based on her own experience, becoming the first female artist in China to put her story on the screen.
But no, she gradually faded out of people's sight, and then disappeared without a trace for many years, and people did not know where she went, nor did they know why she suddenly disappeared at the peak of her career.
It turns out that there is really a story in this.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="59" >01</h1>
Born in a mountain village below Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, Zhang Mi had a good voice when she was a child, often learning to sing with the family's dilapidated old radio.
When she was fourteen years old, she went to the Inner Mongolia Zhelim League Art School alone with the 25 yuan given by her grandmother, and the embarrassing thing was that at that time, the school only enrolled Mongolian students, and within a year, she was dismissed because she was not a Mongolian.
At this time, Zhang Mi was only 15 years old, still an ignorant girl, helpless, she had to tearfully pack her bags, and successively traveled around the country to some literary and art groups as a temporary worker, contract actor, and student.
In 1989, Zhang Mi was admitted to the Guangzhou Song and Dance Troupe with her excellent singing skills, and at first, she was also discriminated against here, because she could not speak Cantonese, let alone sing Cantonese songs, so for a long time she had no source of income.
But her talent and efforts are still gradually noticed, when "Miss Public Relations" was filmed, the music editor found her and let her sing the theme song and the ending song, who thought that the national audience knew her, and her songs also began to be sung in the country, and quickly established the "first" position in the Guangdong song world.

There have been rumors that Zhang Mi fell out with another famous singer from Northeast China, Mao Ning, and in order to give her a blow, Zhang Mi's boyfriend also beat Mao Ning, and due to the bad influence, Zhang Mi was directly banned.
The story has been passed down with a nose and an eye, saying that in 1992, Zhang Mi was going to participate in the 1993 CCTV New Year's Day gala performance, and found someone to write a song for himself in advance, called "Blue Night, Blue Blue Dream", which was included in his album "Talk from the Beginning", ready to be sung at the New Year's Day party.
What she did not expect was that Mao Ning actually stole this song and sang it red, becoming Mao Ning's second masterpiece in addition to "The Sound of the Waves".
Zhang Mi was very unhappy in her heart, and when she saw Mao Ning, she mentioned this matter and theorized a few words, and the two people dispersed unhappily.
Later, when she participated in the same performance again, Zhang Mi saw Mao Ning in the background and said hello, who knew that Mao Ning said impatiently, 'I don't want to talk to you, you stupid hat''.
Zhang Mi was very angry, and in anger, she called out to her boyfriend Guo Dawei and beat up Mao Ning in the dressing room.
There are also rumors that Zhang Mi slapped Mao Ning at that time.
In any case, the impact of this incident was too bad, all of Zhang Mi's performance contracts were returned, all songs and videos were suspended, and while her reputation plummeted, her acting career was also hit hard.
Zhang Mi thus became the first female artist in the entertainment industry to be banned.
Since 1994, Zhang Mi, in desperation, chose to go abroad and began to travel to Spain, Italy, France, the United States, Monaco and other places, which was 5 years.
You know, these 5 years are the golden age of a singing actor, miss these 5 years, Zhang Mi can no longer return to the former glory.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93" >03 The road to transformation</h1>
Five years later, in 1999, Zhang Mi signed with Taiwan's PrimeStud records and began to try to make a comeback.
In April 2000, Zhang Mi tried to transform, cooperated with fashion designer Liu Yang as a model, and signed a contract with New Silk Road Modeling Company in September, officially becoming a professional model.
This move allowed Zhang Mi to set another record, becoming the first person in China's performing arts industry to step from singer to modeling.
In the years since, Zhang Mi's acting career has been smooth sailing, not only becoming a contracted artist of European EMI Music Publishing Company, but also winning the reputation of a pioneer in the Chinese pop music scene, a double diva across the pop music and fashion world, and an Asian market leader.
As a singer and a model, although Zhang Mi has unlimited scenery on the surface, none of the new songs she has sung since then have the degree of transmission of the year, and none of them can be liked and remembered by the majority of listeners, and even many people have simply forgotten her existence.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111" >04 middle-aged cancer</h1>
On November 26, 2019, Zhang Mi posted on social platforms that she "officially announced" that she had cancer, and it was advanced.
At this time, Zhang Mi is 54 years old, she said in the text, never thought that the four words "advanced cancer" will be related to themselves, and suddenly had a deeper understanding of the concept of "living to death", "Now I see the sun rising every day will be the greatest happiness, if I can challenge death and overcome death, what else can I fear in the future"?
It was just a small cold in my life...
Between the lines, zhang mi's strength, and love and yearning for life are revealed, and it is precisely because of this belief that she supports her to fight with the disease indomitably and establish a strong confidence in overcoming the disease.
Since then, until now, Zhang Mi often shares her life moments and feelings about some things on social platforms, and on June 3, 2020, she announced that she finally defeated the disease, "I am back"!
On September 10 this year, she participated in a show held in Gannan County, Gansu Province, as a model, and specially posted that she was "reunited with the catwalk after three years", and her joy and excitement were overflowing.
On October 1, 2021, Zhang Mi posted on her personal social account, "I wish the motherland eternal prosperity, Guotai Min'an, I love you China", on the one hand, to express her blessings to the motherland, on the other hand, she also declared to the world that she has completely overcome the disease and is now living well.
It can be seen that although Zhang Mi has experienced many misfortunes after suffering hardships and setbacks, her heart is still incomparably strong, and her mentality is also normal and bright, which has become the source of motivation that supports her to today.
Isn't all this exactly what every ordinary person needs to have?
