Although the entertainment industry is a place with a high divorce rate, there is no shortage of model couples with harmonious feelings.
Veteran singer Jiang Tao and his wife Wan Xiaomu are such an enviable couple.
They met in a small time, they had supported each other in the difficult years of north drift, and now more than 30 years have quietly passed, and Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu are still as loving as ever.
In fact, the red lady who makes them walk together is music.
In other words, if Jiang Tao had not studied music, he and Wan Xiaomu would not have known each other and fallen in love, let alone formed an enviable family.
01
Jiang Tao was born in 1967 in the beautiful Qingdao, his father worked on the railway, and his mother was also a worker.
Although the couple had three children and lived together for more than ten years, when the youngest son, Jiang Tao, was about 10 years old, they divorced, and Since then Jiang Tao has followed his father.
It was then that Jiang Tao and his father began to live together in a small room of less than 10 square meters.
Although men are not as good as women in the matter of taking children, Jiang Tao's father is also dedicated and strongly supports his son's hobby.
Jiang Tao likes to sing since he was a child, and when he first went to kindergarten, he learned a lot of Peking Opera singing with the radio, and he has always been an active member of literature and art after going to primary school.
Around the age of three or four, Jiang Tao became a member of the Qingdao Children's Palace, where he served as a lead singer, a small dancer, and entered the orchestra to learn to play instruments.
In those years, Jiang Tao can be said to have performed continuously, always participating in some activities to comfort the Air Force and the Navy Sanatorium.
In the mid-1980s, Jiang Tao, who graduated from high school, wanted to enter a professional college to study vocal music, but he failed to be selected after taking the examination.
In order to continue his dream of singing, he also successively took the railway soldiers' literary troupe, the frontline literary troupe, and the avant-garde literary and labor troupe, but unfortunately every time he would be brushed off during the three tests.
After falling off the list countless times, Jiang Tao's father retired from the railway post 6 years early and gave up the opportunity to work to his son.
Jiang Tao also became a railway worker, and step by step changed from an apprentice who received 24 yuan a month to a regular worker who earned 36 yuan.
However, although he worked in the railway, his heart never forgot his musical dream.
02
Because of his many years of literary and artistic background, Jiang Tao soon became a railway worker and became a member of the amateur propaganda team in the unit.
In addition to work and performance, he also insisted on learning guitar from his teacher. Speaking of Jiang Tao's guitar teacher, it happens to be Wan Xiaomu's third uncle, that is, with this relationship, Jiang Tao knows Wan Xiaomu.
I have to admit that Jiang Tao was indeed a good young man at that time, he was tall, good-looking, had a formal job, had no bad habits, and loved literature and art.
After a long time with the guitar teacher, his master's mother quietly looked after him, and once she took the initiative to call and invite Jiang Tao to be a guest when her niece Wan Xiaomu came to play.
Jiang Tao rushed to rush to see Wan Xiaomu, who had a dignified temperament and a beautiful face, and he was smart enough to instantly understand the intention of his master and mother.
When his master and mother asked him to sing a song, Jiang Tao immediately sang a hot and powerful song "Hotline You and Me", and under the stirring of the song, Wan Xiaomu's heart was moved.
After that, Jiang Tao would often ride a bicycle to pick her up at the door of the seal factory where Wan Xiaomu worked, and gradually the feelings between the two became sweeter and sweeter.
According to Jiang Tao later revealed in the program, Wan Xiaomu's family situation is quite superior, and the two are not a door-to-door pair, but this lovely woman still chose Jiang Tao.
Soon, they entered into marriage and gave birth to a lovely boy.

Just when Jiang Tao's love cultivation was fruitful, his singing career also ushered in an opportunity.
At that time, he wrote a song called "Memories of the Little Station" in his spare time, which won the third prize for singing and the first prize for composition in the railway show.
After that, Jiang Tao won the first prize in another performance with his musical talent, when he began to frequently go out to participate in competitions, performs, and sometimes had the opportunity to go to Beijing.
Around 1990, Jiang Tao, who had made a local reputation in Qingdao, entered the song and dance troupe and became a professional singer, that is, in that year, he had the idea of going to Beijing to go for a walk.
In the face of her husband's ambitions, Although Wan Xiaomu had no bottom in his heart, he still expressed his support.
But when Jiang Tao arrived in Beijing, he learned that talents abounded here, and it was difficult for him to win any opportunities when he first arrived.
During that time, he slept in a wooden house, ate three meals of noodles to fill his hunger, and at the worst time, he did not have enough money to buy a bag of instant noodles, if it were not for his father and wife to supplement him from time to time, he would have been sleeping on the street.
However, even if it is so difficult, Jiang Tao is still not discouraged, and it is precisely because of persistence that he has a later bottoming out.
In 1992, Jiang Tao defeated a number of strong opponents in the CCTV Young Singers Grand Prix and became the champion of that year.
It is worth mentioning that the second place of the year was Mao Ning and Chen Hong, and the third place was Sun Yue, who later participated in this competition by relying on the popular fire wind of "Big Flower Car", but stopped at the final.
That time winning the award made Jiang Tao feel honored, and also prompted his wife Wan Xiaomu to make a bold decision to take the child to Beijing to find a husband.
04
The day after winning the award, Jiang Tao and his roommate Huo Feng did not go out at the residence, when suddenly a knock on the door rang out, and as soon as Jiang Tao opened the door, his mother-in-law and Wan Xiaomu's mother and son appeared in front of them.
She quit her job in her hometown and was determined to stay with her husband.
Although Jiang Tao was surprised and moved, they experienced the most difficult life next.
During that time, the family of 4 lived in a relative's room where cabbage was stored, and lived in many cold basements.
Once, Jiang Tao's family moved to a small room in the Xiagong Mansion, because the location of the house was remote and surrounded by weeds, and it was inevitable that rats would appear.
One morning, Jiang Tao saw that there were actually 5 small mouse footprints on his son's face, which made him feel afraid and not tasteful.
And just like that, they moved again.
If the hardships of life can be overcome, the psychological suffering is even more unbearable.
Although Jiang Tao achieved a good ranking in the competition and also appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1993, this did not improve Jiang Tao's economic conditions at once, and for a period of time, Jiang Tao's father would take out dozens of yuan every month to supplement his son.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you think differently.
Wan Xiaomu, who accompanies Jiang Tao in Beijing, also wants to contribute to the family, and one day she happily told her husband that she had found a part-time accounting job.
Since then, Wan Xiaomu commuted to work on time every day, and once Jiang Tao came home early, he took his son all the way to find her place of work, and after several inquiries about their father and son, they found Wan Xiaomu in a canteen.
It turned out that what she found was not an accounting job at all, but a temporary job in the canteen, and the reason why she lied was because she was afraid that Jiang Tao would be uncomfortable.
You know, she obviously has a formal job in Qingdao and can live a better life, but in order to reunite with her husband, she gave up everything.
Fortunately, her desperate bet was not disappointed, and Jiang Tao's career gradually improved.
05
Around 1994, the little-known Jiang Tao was selected by the Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps and put on the military uniform that made his parents, wives and children feel very proud.
In those years, Jiang Tao appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala performance programs for many consecutive times.
In 1997, the famous composer Bian Liunian called Jiang Tao and hoped that he would sing a song called "Foolish Old Uncle".
Jiang Tao listened to Bian Liunian humming a few words on the phone, felt that he liked it very much, and agreed to it.
Later, under the suggestion of Jiang Tao, the name of this song was also changed from "Yugong Laobo" to the familiar "Yugong Moving Mountain".
In 1998, Jiang Tao took "Yugong Moving Mountain" to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala again, in fact, this song has been loved by the public since its launch, and after the Spring Festival Gala, it has become an annual golden song.
Since then, Jiang Tao's fame has been greatly improved, "Yugong Moving Mountains" has become his most famous masterpiece, and his career has finally opened up the situation.
However, in addition to the famous works, there are several songs that are also very important to Jiang Tao.
One of them is "Birthday Gift" and the other is "I Love You Really Love You", and the reason why they are important is because the inspiration for the creation of these two songs comes from the same person, Jiang Tao's wife Wan Xiaomu.
Jiang Tao's friends Fu Disheng and Ren Jing once broke the news that Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu are a couple who are often noisy, but their feelings are as noisy as possible.
The song "Birthday Gift" was suddenly inspired when Jiang Tao was locked out of the door after arguing with his wife, and was later composed by songwriter Yang Lifa.
Compared to the slightly sour "Birthday Gift", the story behind "I Love You Really Love You" is much sweeter.
This song is Jiang Tao's wedding anniversary gift to Wan Xiaomu, he boldly confessed with lyrics, no one loves you more than me, in this life except you, I still choose you.
06
Jiang Tao's deep friendship not only touched Wan Xiaomu, but also touched many of their relatives and friends.
They said in unison that Wan Xiaomu was worthy of Jiang Tao's heavy love, because what she paid for her husband was really all-encompassing and impeccable.
After wan Xiaomu got married for so many years, he has been handling all kinds of chores at home, such as the education of his children, the decoration of the house, the investment in the home, and the food, clothing, and housing behind jiangtao.
Because of Wan Xiaomu's thoughtfulness, Jiang Tao has not been able to drive for so many years, and most of his programs and performances in Beijing are picked up and delivered by Wan Xiaomu.
Husband's makeup and clothing, Wan Xiaomu also strives for perfection in everything. Sometimes Jiang Tao lost his temper, and Wan Xiaomu rarely bothered with him.
As the saying goes, a little bit is better than a new marriage.
And Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu are almost like shadows every day, and their feelings have not only not faded, but have become more and more intense.
Jiang Tao said that to this day, when he and his wife hold hands, they still have the feeling of love.
Wan Xiaomu was good to Jiang Tao, and Jiang Tao did not do a good job.
His mother-in-law has been living under the same roof with Jiang Tao since she fled to Beijing with her daughter in the 1990s.
The elderly are not in good health, the ears are also back, and living with young people will inevitably have friction, but Jiang Tao has tolerated them one by one.
When the mother-in-law talked about Jiang Tao, she was also full of praise, and even praised him for being more intimate than her son.
07
Although Jiang Tao was very kind to his mother-in-law, he always felt guilty about his father.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival in 1999, Jiang Tao's long-term illness was critically ill, and although Jiang Tao, who was preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, took the time to rush back to Qingdao, he still did not see his father for the last time.
He hurriedly dealt with his father's affairs, and in the afternoon rushed back to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala performance, when he sang the song "Often Go Home to See" with Chen Hong and other singers.
Although Jiang Tao was devastated in his heart, in order not to affect the effect of the performance, he forced his spirit to show a state of warmth.
With this experience, Jiang Tao experienced the mood of "the son wants to be raised but does not wait".
Although he had been separated from his mother since he was a child, after the conditions were good, Jiang Tao still discussed with Wan Xiaomu to take his mother to live with him.
And Wan Xiaomu not only gladly agreed, but also treated the elderly as well as his mother. The reason is very simple, she and Jiang Tao both know how to love Wu and Wu, and they are willing to do that.
As their story spread in the circle, Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu also became the most harmonious and loving couple in everyone's heart.
Although the love between Jiang Tao and Wan Xiaomu is not vigorous, it is enough to touch people's hearts.
Because today, when the divorce rate is quite high, people who can continue a love for a lifetime are too precious.
