♪ You are so special, how can I be disappointed ♫
Every day at 9:30 a.m., Sister Yi is waiting for you here
Text | Sister Yi (Zhou Guiyi) Ye Ziyao
On the night of Women's Day, I watched an online concert.
Liu Ruoying, Su Huilun, Ding Dang, Bai An, four women, recorded the "Good" online concert together in advance.
I just watched an online collaboration "Come to See Our Concert" with Liu Ruoying and her old friends Mayday and Guangliang some time ago, so the biggest surprise this time is not milk tea, but Su Huilun.
When she wore a long white dress and sang "Ah, go, nothing remarkable; Everything depends on you, but I look down on myself", the stubborn girl's heart, and instantly returned to Ye Qing.
"Duck", "Lemon Tree", "Every Day of My Life"... are rewinding like crazy.
In the era when female stars are no longer fresh in "anti-aging", they are still surprised by Su Huilun's state.
At 52 years old, just like when she was 25 years old, she seems to have not changed.
Once faded out for 13 years, married and had children, the role change did not seem to take away her appearance and voice.
Can't help but run into her new songs in recent years to find some clues.
Look at what kind of life she lived in the days when she was close to the years.
Su Huilun debuted for more than 30 years, and in 1990 released her first album "Chasing Everything".
Playful short hair, sweet sound, fresh temperament, in the entertainment industry that produces "jade girl", Su Huilun is still recognized as the "head of the jade girl" in the music industry.
Two classics, "Duck" and "Lemon Tree", have won her many music awards and are popular all over the country.
He also sang with Jackie Chan "Every Day of My Life", one of the classic songs sung by men and women.
How hot was Su Huilun at that time?
Liu Ruoying recalled her interview at Rolling Stone Records: "When I went to the interview, the company was on McDonald's, as soon as I walked up, I was greeted by a huge poster, on which a girl with short hair in a yellow shirt was smiling sweetly, which made me marvel, thinking that with such a charming singer, I was really far from it."
This short-haired girl is Su Huilun.
At that time, they probably did not expect that they would become sisters and continue to sing together thirty years later.
Mayday lead singer Ashin, who is now loved by many people, regards Su Huilun as the "goddess" in his heart. In order to help Su Huilun rank, surpassing the Little Tigers team at that time, he also gathered his classmates to write more than 500 postcards to support Su Huilun.
When Su Huilun won various awards for his new album in 2021, Ashin also specially posted a post in support of "My idol should be like this!" ”
It is also a successful star-chasing boy in the reality version.
One sentence to describe Su Huilun's career peak, probably the slogan——— "everyone is a diva, only Su Huilun is all-weather".
However, the fate of any one person cannot exclude the circumstances of the times.
Su Huilun is not that exception.
Before the arrival of the millennium, on the one hand, the rise of new talents in the music industry, on the other hand, the decline of Taiwan's record industry.
In Taiwan at that time, there were Jolin Tsai, Xiao Yaxuan, and Xu Huaiyu, who was similar to the type held by the company.
In the face of the fiercely competitive market, Su Huilun, whose image of "Jade Girl" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, is not a singer-songwriter, she has tried to transform, and has also found Wu Bai Zhou Huajian and others to help launch two albums, "Happy hours" and "Diary of a Lazy Man", but the sales are not satisfactory.
Encountering Waterloo on the music road, Su Huilun tried to move to the big screen.
Initially, she did not come from a music background, but graduated from the drama department of Huagang Art School.
She played a lesbian in "Dance of the Virgins".
Played a depressed person in the movie "The Deep".
also completely put down the image of "jade girl" and played a pregnant woman twice.
Once was to participate in "Life Events", and the other was to guest star in Huang Lei and Liu Ruoying's "Like a Watery Year".
Later, Su Huilun won the best actress at the Rome Asian Film Festival with the literary film "Wandering God Dog Man".
She played a woman who experienced postpartum depression and suffered the death of her young son.
Looking back at Su Huilun's works in the performance era now, I suddenly realized -
● Acting is not only an attempt for Su Huilun, but also a "release". She can finally get rid of the "jade girl" image in the role, smoking, drinking, depression... Do something upside down the everyday.
Career ups and downs, feelings also twists and turns.
Su Huilun was in love with Zhang Zhenyue's agent Huang Jingbo, and it took about three or four years before and after, which ended in a breakup, suspected of the man's splitting legs.
The most famous ex-boyfriend is the well-known director Chen Guofu.
In 1993, Su Huilun starred in Chen Guofu's movie "As long as you live for one day", met and fell in love. The two were 12 years apart, did not escape the "seven-year itch", and broke up in 1999.
At that time, it was rumored that Su Huilun was split, and the media pointed the "insertion" object directly at Liu Ruoying.
This relationship and the "story of three people" were directly asked in "Kangxi is coming".
Although only the parties know the matter of the three people, Chen Guofu is a name that Liu Ruoying can't jump in her past relationship history.
The two met in 1994, Liu Ruoying starred in the film "My Beauty and Sorrow" directed by Chen Guofu, which was also Liu Ruoying's screen debut as an actor.
Later, Liu Ruoying filmed Chen Guofu's "Marriage Notice" and "Double Eyes", with these two films, she successively won the Asia-Pacific Film Queen and the Academy Award "Best Supporting Actress".
In 1997, Liu Ruoying was photographed by the media appearing near Chen Guofu in the same frame as his home.
For the next ten years, Liu Ruoying's relationship, in addition to the old things with his mentor Chen Sheng, was "waiting for Chen Guofu for ten years", until Liu Ruoying married Zhong Xiaojiang in 2011.
After the bustle, everyone can finally sing together, it is the women who mature, the desire for salvation for the men disappears, time will dilute all the past, after all, in the end "yourself" is the more important thing.
Back to the generation of "Jade Woman Head" Su Huilun.
In 2014, she married Taiwan's "godfather of skateboarding" Sun Yimin.
He was an extreme sports athlete, then a skateboard agent, and had a marriage and a daughter.
This year, Su Huilun was 44 years old.
The following year, as an advanced mother, she gave birth to her son, and in the following years, she spent more time caring for the family and accompanying the child.
Like many star mothers, the child is older, and Su Huilun began to slowly return to work and give more time to herself.
"My son is older now and has his own little world, I don't need to spend all my time and energy on him like before, I can have more time to do what I love. I also remind myself that I should set aside some time every day to do things that I enjoy and relax. For a mother, this is quite important. (Interview with Beijing Youth Daily)
Participating in the New Year's Eve event in Taipei, you will joke yourself, as the oldest "elder" in the event, the audience does not know whether they will not know themselves.
Came to the mainland to participate in the variety show "Masked Singing Will Guess", which was praised by Wu Qixian: "There are many iron lungs and skilled singers in the music industry, but you sing very little like this."
2020 is the 30th anniversary of Su Huilun's debut.
She held a solo concert and released a new album "Noodles", singing songs that fit the mood of the moment. Everyone has many faces, and different characters have different masks, which is self-protection.
Since more than ten years ago, every time Su Huilun appears, she will almost always be asked how to maintain such a frozen age?
She has never shied away from her intentions——— "maintenance as part of the job".
She once confessed that if she were not a female star, she would be very lazy.
But professional demands and the laws of aging require her to always consciously take care of herself. Sleep, routine, exercise habits and a good state of mind.
Su Huilun's sense of agelessness, personally I feel that a large part comes from a "normal heart".
This kind of normality is difficult to have at the beginning, especially for such an intense and cruel place in the entertainment industry, that is the acceptance of oneself after ups and downs; It is also a sense of relaxation that gradually comes to the second half of life, and is soaked in family life and family affection.
In her spare time, in addition to doing what she likes, such as drinking coffee and painting, she will also do some "seemingly meaningless things" and completely empty herself, such as playing mobile games.
Influenced by her husband, Su Huilun also learned skiing and snowboarding after marriage.
Recently, I have been a little nostalgic, and I have written about many singers, actors, and female artists in my youth.
The ups and downs of the epidemic for three years have made us all clearly see impermanence, and the fate of each creator must be attached to sensitive, severe, and internal injuries, and if it is amplified and blessed by the overly hot and fluctuating environment, it is actually more likely to become an obstacle to "happiness".
Then I sincerely hope that the people we have liked can not be "red" and go to be happy steadily.
Whether it is Sun Yanzi, who is busy with life after giving birth to two children, Penny Dai, who does not plan to give birth and is still playing music, or Su Huilun, who is not popular and generously becomes a wife and mother, and does not release an album for thirteen years in the middle.
At this online concert, Su Huilun sang a song "True Face", which is a song in the new album and is recommended to everyone. It seems to have the name of a middle-aged woman and the label of "human wife" written.
For example, there is a lyric in it: "When I exchanged conditions with happiness and gritted my teeth to get to this day, ordinary is not only used to plain face, but also practiced it again."
This song resonated with many women, and there was a message that left a deep impression: What a happy woman Su Huilun is, so that she can record this song in the studio without crying.
From my heart, I believe in Su Huilun's happiness, and I also believe that 52-year-old Su Huilun must have had fragile and confused moments in different roles of stars, wives, and mothers.
"It's just fragile, it's well hidden."
There are no perfect people and lives in this world, and in the adult world, a large part of "happiness" is acceptance and reconciliation, and it is also the joy of being born human.
As Su Huilun said: The important thing is to live every day well, and find things that make you happy every day, even if it is a small thing.
I wish us all.
