Fragments of memories about Li Min
Until now, I still feel a little trance, the girl who is like the California sun with honey, the girl who even has an English name with love, will leave in such a painful way. Li Min's second sister, Li Silin, said that their mother refused to sit down, and when the doctor announced that Li Min was brain dead, her mother, who is a Chinese medicine doctor, had to apply needles to Li Min's head, and she was still struggling to keep her favorite little daughter.
Li Min's mother was a very famous star mother back then, and everything had to be done for her daughter first, exaggerated to the point that Li Min had never pressed the elevator herself since she became famous for a long time. As a widow, Li Min grew up with her mother and two sisters, and lived together on the last day, because she was afraid that she would not be able to open it, and the first to find out that Li Min was killed was also a mother in her 80s. The white-headed man sends the black-headed man, the most painful thing in the world.
COCO is a superstar, but she's a superstar we don't know much about. Everyone has the impression that she is an ABC who debuted in Taiwan, but in fact, her mother is from Wuhan, her father is an Indonesian overseas Chinese who grew up in Harbin, and her parents are both graduates of Peking University. Li Min was born in Hong Kong, and her father died of a cold a few days before she was born, and some people advised her mother to give up the child in her womb, but her mother did not agree.
At the age of 9, she immigrated to California with her mother and sister, participated in the local beauty pageant, and debuted from the Hong Kong TVB singing competition, which is where Eason Chan, Zheng Xiuwen, Yang Qianwei and many other artists dreamed of beginning, but few people remember that COCO was also the runner-up of that year, she was only eighteen years old that year, still using her real name Li Meilin, singing both English songs, "Li Xianglan", "Keep the Roots", wearing a black leather dress, permed long curly hair, compared with her immature age, already has a mature typhoon and singing voice.
This girl, who is fluent in both Chinese Cantonese and English, naturally has superstar potential. She went to Taiwan to develop at the age of 19 and is Sony's baby. I still remember seeing her first MV, not a cheerful dance song, but "She Cries Before Bed" sung with Ke Yimin. That song constantly soars and turns, very Westernized, and they are also known as the Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston of the Chinese music scene.
The lyrics are sad, but COCO's smile in the MV is the same as ever. Now that I think about it, she is almost always smiling, the smiling face with raised eyebrows, the laughter like silver bells, in the prelude to "Good Mood", when remembering Andy Lau as her idol, giggling.
Her last Weibo was the promotional song "War Song", encouraging herself to be a female warrior, and the penultimate Weibo was to cheer Michelle Yeoh, who won an Oscar. Even on the day she made up her mind to leave the world, the last voice to the fans was cheerful, cheering her up and asking her to work harder.
It is this that catches us off guard and is difficult to accept. The COCO I remember is so bright that I can't open my eyes. In the MV of "True Lover", her slender waist and hips swayed at an incredible speed, and I tried to imitate her, but I could never keep up with her rhythm. Now we know that she can only use her right leg to support all her weight, no wonder she dances almost only with her upper body, no wonder she lies on an inflatable red sofa when she performs "Good Mood" at the Spring Festival Gala, and only her right leg has been moving.
She wore a big red shirt for that performance, and she wore a red shirt like a landmark show. When she first represented the Chinese at the Oscars to perform "Moonlight Lover", she was wearing a red cheongsam, so tight clothes, she can still wear it twenty years later, you can imagine how self-disciplined she is.
She left the impression of sexy ABC hot girls, speaking with a little vague soft and coquettish, once because of this image, Chanel designated her as the spokesperson of Asia, Hong Kong celebrities do not do it, they do not like unrestrained girls, one of the VIPs Bao Yongqin believes that this spokesperson should be Kwan Zhilin, Li Jiaxin, Liu Jialing like this.
So how deeply can people misunderstand? THEY CAN STILL SEE COCO HERSELF, AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT SHE IS THE STAR WITH THE LEAST SCANDALS, A GOOD BABY WHO OBEYS HER MOTHER IN EVERYTHING, AND A SHY GIRL WHO MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY HER SISTER TO HAVE COURAGE WHEN MEETING WITH THAT OLD FOREIGN CONVENTION.
COCO has an innocent sillyness, she will feel too good when she hears "Manjiang Red", hoping that Yue Fei can write lyrics for herself, but at the same time she loves China very much, and never forgets to declare herself a Chinese when walking on the world stage.
The only time she filmed was mainland director Li Xin's "Self-Entertainment", Li Min played Sister Zunlong, a rural girl, cosplay without sparing images, but this style audience could not accept.
She and Peking University applied to borrow the campus and shoot the MV of "Unchanging Promise" (the heroine chosen was Ma Su), because her parents met and fell in love at Peking University, but she never boasted of such a proud origin.
When she was a mentor to The Voice, she lost her temper with the unfair treatment encountered by the contestants and was secretly calculated by villains.
She would think that she had met her soul mate because of the phrase "you can also go to the supermarket", fell in love with the man who was 16 years older than her, treated her stepdaughter as her own, and took the trouble to invite all the old friends he mentioned in the chat in order to surprise him for his birthday. Also did nine test tubes - God knows how painful it was, and betrayed by them.
Those who can't live because of physical suffering, because of depression, from Sanmao, Leslie Cheung to Li Min, but left the world bright, gentle and happy, do they swallow the suffering silently? I hope they can complain, plagiarize, vent, not so good and intimate, it's okay to have some flaws.
Choosing to voluntarily leave this world, leaving the people who loved her, requires great determination. Although infertility has become a popular trend, for COCO, having her own children, maybe she will not be willing to go.
COCO once had the grandest wedding of a Chinese star, costing 150 million yuan, with a 9-carat wedding ring, living in Beverly Hills, next to Michael Jackson.
She became famous at a young age, has beauty, endless wealth, has a slender waist that has not changed for decades, is Jolin Tsai, Xiao Yaxuan's love bean, has a dear mother and sister, but she also has a left leg that has been hurting for forty years, has lost her voice, and has broken her partner...
Those external objects can only bring temporary happiness, not determine a lifetime. What makes us unable to let go of the world is the physical and emotional bondage of health, and material things will never be more important than people.
