Bad news in the entertainment industry: The diva Li Min passed away, and she suffered from depression for many years before her death.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the circle, whether it was celebrity friends or fans, passers-by hoped that the news was false.
Because it is hard to believe that the first sister in the music industry, who has always been known for her dynamic sunshine, health and liveliness, will be involved with depression.
However, the sunshine beauty died in the most decisive way, seemingly simply eroded by depression, in fact, Li Min suffered too much after walking in the world.
Not only has he been sick for a long time, but he also has a bad husband, a cold daughter, and a child who can't be begged for 9 times.
Li Min's parents met at Peking University to study medicine and the two fell in love at first sight and settled in Hong Kong.
It seems that the story has a good start, but in fact, she was born without a father, and before Li's father could witness the birth of his youngest daughter, he died of illness, leaving Li's mother alone as a father and mother.
Fortunately, there is a shortage of manpower but no shortage of silver, and the family is living quite comfortably, but Li's mother, who does not want to see things and thinkers again, immigrated to the United States with her family when Li Min was 10 years old.
When he first entered the United States, Li Min was the most unable to adapt to the environment and the strongest heart: if he did not speak English, he worked hard to be strong, and he tried to socialize without friends.
In the end, the oriental children became the representatives of the English class, and the children with no roots won the beauty pageant on behalf of the school.
In short, at that time, she adhered to the principle that the more she didn't believe me, the more she had to prove it to you.
So the following year, she went to participate in the California regional singing competition and won the top three again, which made Li Min officially notice her strengths.
In 1993, he took advantage of the gap between returning to Hong Kong during the summer vacation and participated in the TVB Newcomer Singing Competition.
Although it was a pity to lose the first place, the strength was enough for Huaxing Record to quickly send someone over to sign the contract, for fear that this piece of jade long legs would run away.
In the second year after signing with Huaxing, she released her first solo album "Love Is Now", and her strength attracted the attention of the Sony branch of Wan Chai.
Li Min also had the intention to expand the market in Taiwan Province, and the two sides signed a cooperation agreement in 1996.
The album of the same name was immediately released, officially confirming the positioning of the R&B vocal cavity, and the final album sales soared to the second place in the charts.
Born in Hong Kong and raised in California, he is proficient in Chinese, English, Cantonese and French Chinese, which has opened the door to a convenient career expansion.
And the sunny and energetic and sexy and healthy image has injected new power into the cookie-cutter music scene, and even in terms of makeup, it has had an important impact on future generations.
For example, Xiao Yaxuan, who claims that his boyfriend has never been more than 25 years old, has an early image of imitation.
Win glory for the country
The "DiDaDi" album released in 1998 was sold out of the Taiwan Strait and Southeast Asia, and even to the point where Sony needed to urgently replenish it.
At that time, it not only confirmed the position of diva, but also helped Sony consolidate the Wan Chai area and Southeast Asian markets.
Immediately, as the only representative of the Asian Chinese region, he was officially invited to Paris to sing "Colors" for the opening ceremony of the World Cup.
The cheerful and bright tune is similar to Shakira's "Waka Waka", but 12 years earlier.
▲ I will be in a good mood when I see you, and I will be happy without warming up.
It is not only Li Min who is happy, but also the agency behind it, after all, it is also writing lyrics and songs, operating albums, and combining Li Min's strength can play the greatest role.
How can such a partner be easily let go?
So at the end of 1998, the company renewed the contract, and pushed it to the international stage while the iron was hot, signed a contract with Sony headquarters to release an English album, and became the first Chinese singer to debut in Europe and the United States, and the light of Chinese began to take shape.
At the beginning of the millennium, before digital music hit the traditional music market, its English album "Just No Other Way" soared to 2 million copies worldwide.
Three songs from the album put her name high:
MTV Asia Hitlist榜、
Top 100 Asia Singles Airplay榜、
Australian Billboard Chart,
Australian Year-End Singles Chart,
American Billboard Dance Music Chart;
And Li Min also won the "International Newcomer Award" at the "Radio Music Award 2000" in Singapore that year.
Many good results attracted the attention of the Oscar, so at the 2001 awards ceremony, he was specially invited to sing live and broadcast it worldwide.
This is the first time that the Oscars have invited Chinese singers to sing, and Li Min, who appeared on stage in a Chinese red robe, also handed over a report card that is enough to prove the strength of oriental singers.
Immediately, Time magazine's adjective for her became "Chinese light".
However, at that time, Li Min did not have time to enjoy any glory, because he also had to prepare to appear on the stage for the Spring Festival Gala and convey a "good mood" with his singing.
Suffer injustice
In addition to being the first Chinese singer to sing an Oscar, Li Min is also the first Chinese regional spokesperson invited by Chanel.
However, the noble ladies group believed that Li Min's beauty was not noble, which lowered the luxury positioning, so they collectively boycotted Grandma Xiang and the Queen of Heaven joining forces.
At that time, they thought that Li Min needed the brand to raise its value, but they didn't know that the brand needed Li Min to help open up popularity.
But because he didn't want to have a frontal conflict with his rich sisters, Li Min still terminated his contract with him a year later, and they were clean.
Then, he turned around and sang the NBA as the first Chinese singer invited to sing the NBA.
At that time, the red-haired Li Min and Yao Ming, who was still in the rookie period, gathered and took a group photo with the No. 11 shirt was like yesterday, but now the light of the Chinese has disappeared.
In addition to being "touched by the ice" of the fashion circle, the international music road is not smooth.
Due to the deep barriers in the Eastern and Western music circles, even if they are full of honor and amazing strength, the foreign moon is still unwilling to shine on Li Min.
There is a discriminatory environment in the corners and corners, which makes the singing style greatly reduced in the European and American markets.
When running the radio propaganda, after the host learned his Chinese identity, he didn't even want to read the information, and pointed at him with four eyes.
I even thought that she was pulling erhu, but you can imagine how much effort and hardship it takes to let the European and American circles know the name COCO LEE.
But unfortunately, even if she did everything she could to prove that she had strength, Li Min only let the European and American circles know her existence, and she was not as popular as Adele.
It is even more regrettable that the footsteps of the advance international are vain, and the rear market has also been encroached upon by newcomers such as Xiao Yaxuan, SHE and Cai Xiaotianhou
In short, Li Min's height and popularity began to be inversely proportional.
Fortunately, she had the determination to prove that she could do it, and did not drill into the horns, so when her career hit the peak and it was difficult to go further, she turned around and went in a different direction.
In 2011, she married Bruce, a Canadian businessman, but at that time, she thought that she had three more family members to marry, but she never wanted to marry and became a talisman.
In October 2011, just after singing the theme song of the World Swimming Championships, she officially announced her marriage - married to Bruce, a Canadian businessman 16 years her senior.
For this marriage of idols, most fans have difficulty understanding.
I don't understand why the beautiful electric buttocks diva should find an old and ugly second-married man? But belly slander, but she loves it very much.
After becoming Bruce's wife, Li Min is in a state like a little girl who fell in love at the age of sixteen or seven, and she is happy to share her love with fans.
Today I walked with my husband and picked up a bird, tomorrow I was worried that I didn't know what skirt to wear to attend a dinner party with my husband, and the day after tomorrow I made chicken wings for my husband to eat, and so on.
Even when he is happy, he will send multiple news messages to show his love to Bruce, and his twitter appearance will attract countless fans to follow.
But the true feelings of the diva did not cover the heart of the ghost guy.
A wife is a wife, a girlfriend is a girlfriend, and two identities can be one person or several, which is the happiness of rich people, and Bruce is the same.
When I didn't marry Li Min, you and I nong, stalked, but after marrying a wife, you yearned for the wildflowers outside.
According to Li Min's friends, Bruce prefers young and beautiful girls, and has repeatedly betrayed his wife to go out to find food.
The first time I was caught in the bag, I was a little ashamed, and Li Min also took photos in time to reform her husband and return to the family steps.
Bruce, who couldn't control his desires, cheated again, and even went out fooling around, not caring about his wife's feelings at all.
What made Li Min even more difficult to accept was that the two stepdaughters, who regarded them as their own, were standing with their arms together at the moment laughing and watching the play.
This is not a problem of whether the cotton jacket leaks air or not, and the stone is hot or not, it is completely sincere to feed the dog.
After losing love, Li Min turned her attention to preparing for pregnancy and childbirth, hoping to have a cotton jacket of her own, but the result was that there was no result after 9 times of technology.
It even made her already poor health worse, and she suffered from depression under multiple blows.
Disheartened, he took his stepdaughter and moved away from the love nest, and came out of sight.
As for why not divorce?
After all, the relationship of nearly 20 years is not something that can be turned over by lip service, and without a prenuptial agreement when you get married, easy divorce may lead to the loss of most of your net worth.
Therefore, when the media interviewed his second sister Li Silin, the other party could only helplessly say that he would go with the flow.
At that time, fans also cheered her sister on, wishing her a speedy recovery and staying away from scumbags. Unexpectedly, what was waiting for was not the return of the diva to the stage without scum, but the obituary of self-closure and fruitless rescue.
It is difficult to return to the peak of his career, and in addition to the betrayal of his marriage, Li Min has been suffering from illness.
On the day of the 2022 cross-Chinese New Year's Eve, the social account suddenly updated the dynamics, and the electric buttocks diva in the photo was still upturned, but on the waist of Xiao Man, who was not as good as a hand, he hung a drainage bag.
Such sick photos caused fans to worry, and they asked his sister and agent Li Silin to understand the situation.
The response was that my sister had a surgery on a dislocated pelvic bone just after birth, and although she successfully got off the operating table and could ensure that walking was no different from ordinary people, she also left lifelong sequelae, and the older she was, the more obvious it was.
Sure enough, when he noticed Li Min's social dynamics again, the drainage bag hanging from the waist turned into a bandage to wrap his feet.
It is said that because of the torment of illness, the weight of a beautiful child of 163 cm fell below 42 kg early.
At the end of February this year, Li Min's social dynamics were updated again, and he was born with a defect in his left leg, and after the failure of the operation, he has been relying on overdrawn right leg support to complete walking, running and jumping, and even overloaded singing and dancing on stage.
I thought that immersing myself in the stage would relieve the pain, but when I was dancing in October 2022, I was inattentive, resulting in a hip joint displacement and compression of nerves.
As a result, the former singing and dancing diva has become a luxury to take two steps, so Li Min plans to have a final battle with all the illnesses at once.
Yes?
Just keep singing and dancing as before!
Fail?
It's better to live with daily fear.
In the photo, she is dressed in a wide green robe that symbolizes vitality, and her hands are folded sincerely praying for the success of her leg surgery.
But the fluffy curls, haggard state and strong self-encouraging copywriting inadvertently revealed her helplessness, hesitation and fear.
Fortunately, my mother and sister have always been by my side, just like after the failed operation when I was a child, and I accompanied her again to start by learning to walk, but I didn't expect that this time I failed to learn to walk.
According to her sister, she was admitted to hospital on 30 June unwell but returned home a day later.
On the 2nd, after eating lunch calmly with my sister and mother, I went into the bathroom to wash up as usual.
Perhaps it was the quiet and narrow space that reminded Li Min of the years of trouble, the negative emotions generated by depression exploded, and the sharp weapon suddenly slashed to the wrist.
When he reappeared in front of his mother and sister, he was covered in blood, and his pulse was too weak to be found when he was sent to the hospital for rescue.
Even if the official said that she was awake and in a vegetative state, her mother, who was nearly 90 years old, was still unwilling to give up her daughter.
In the end, after the hard work of the medical staff, although it was possible to restore Li Min's consciousness, I don't know whether it was too serious an injury or a weak sense of survival, Li Min still returned to the sky 3 days later.
There is one less beautiful stupid woman in the world, and one more moonlight lover in heaven.
Throughout Li Min's life, she has also fallen in glory and was also haggard, but no matter how her image changes, she is still an admirable Chinese light.
It's just that because of the brilliant appearance, the contrast with the decisive curtain call is too stark, which makes it difficult for fans to accept it for a while.
It is even more difficult to imagine how the white-haired person sending the black-haired person's mother Li will accept the death of the heart and liver baby.
In short, may Li Min's bliss be free of illness and betrayal, and go all the way.
