Whether it's the 60s, 70s, 80s or 00s, who hasn't heard the song "Sailor"?
Zheng Zhihua has countless popular songs, and he has been able to stand in the Chinese music scene for more than 30 years with only two songs.
His songs spread all over the country, connecting the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, giving many young people strength and telling us to bravely face setbacks.
Disabled since childhood, he could only rely on crutches and a wheelchair to walk, but he was not defeated by fate.
He entered the music industry with an advertising song, and after releasing several albums, it became popular throughout the country.
However, before he reached the age of 40, Zheng Zhihua announced his retirement from the music scene.
After six years of silence, he brought new works for his daughter's comeback, but the influence was no match for the past, and he could not set off a bigger splash.
So what is his life like now?
01 Questioned about rubbing the king's heart
In July 2022, Zheng Zhihua, who had not appeared in front of the public for a long time, suddenly rushed to the hot search.
The cause was that Wang Xinling sang one of his songs "Stars Light Up" in "Sister Lang".
The lyrics were changed, and he was angry that he was unaware of the original author.
Wang Xinling became popular through this show at that time, which was when it attracted a lot of attention.
Therefore, some netizens suspect that Zheng Zhihua is rubbing the heat, because this song is actually criticizing reality.
The lyrics have been changed because of insufficient positive energy, which means that Wang Xinling is not the first person to sing this version of the lyrics.
What's more, this is also the copyright issue of the program group has not been handled well, and she should not be behind the black pot.
In short, each has its own reason, both sides are right, and this matter is turned over.
Originally thought that Zheng Zhihua would have a vendetta with "Mango", who knew that this year he actually personally appeared on the stage of another show of "Mango".
In the 8th issue of "Endless Sound Treasure Island Season", he sang "Sailor" on the beach in a wheelchair.
The singing voice is still sonorous and powerful, and the breath is stable, which does not reduce the spirit of the year, triggering a chorus of the audience.
Because of his physical inconvenience, Zheng Zhihua rarely shows up and spends most of his time practicing calligraphy at home.
He shared a variety of calligraphy works on his Weibo, and the calligraphy, xingshu, and cursive writing are all good.
And he can also paint, seal carving, make lacquerware, and is an artist to the fullest, almost making people forget his identity as a singer.
The reason why Zheng Zhihua is so versatile is actually because of his tragic childhood.
02 Disabled at an early age, but possessing strong mental strength
Zheng Zhihua once had an older brother, but died before he was three years old.
When her mother was pregnant with him, she was also worried, and one day a monk came to the house and told her that this child was a boy.
The monk also said that the child was related to Buddhism, and after the mother heard this, she asked him to give the child in her womb a name.
Therefore, after the child is born, it is called "intelligence".
However, a name can't change anything after all, and Zheng Zhihua still failed to grow up healthy and healthy.
When he was 2 years old, he developed a high fever and contracted polio because he was not treated promptly.
His legs did not develop properly, and he endured great pain every day.
It was then that he learned to draw as a way to relieve boredom and illness.
At the age of 6, he underwent an operation in which all his hamstrings were picked off so that he could stand up on crutches.
Zheng Zhihua survived this operation, and although the process was extremely cruel, he could finally walk upright like a normal person.
At school, he was often bullied by other small children, either mocking him as a "little cripple" or pushing him down with strength and watching him get up in embarrassment.
He has no friends and cannot play with other children, and is ostracized by them.
But Zheng Zhihua has been very smart since he was a child, with disabled legs, but his brain is better than anyone else's.
He learned everything quickly, got top grades, and dreamed of becoming a painter.
Growing up, he decided to be realistic, chose engineering and joined a construction company after graduation.
But this job was too boring, and it didn't take long for Zheng Zhihua to resign.
This time he started all over again, working as a planner at an advertising agency.
He often has some novel ideas, and his advertisements are very interesting and reused by leaders.
Later, he also began to write music for commercials to deepen the audience's impression.
"For Happy Girls" was the first advertising song he composed, which was well received and noticed by the record company.
When Zheng Zhihua received the signing invitation for the first time, he felt very confused.
He never thought he could still be a singer, and those songs were just written for fun, which he thought was difficult to achieve.
But after much deliberation, he agreed.
If he has been in the advertising industry, he will have to make something false, which will make his conscience uneasy.
In this way, he entered a record company, opened up a new life and embarked on a good road.
Zheng Zhihua appeared in the music scene as a birthplace, releasing six albums in five years, which is very popular with people.
His songs are all written by himself, which contains a lot of his thoughts about society.
His sharp gaze flashed with light, and he held up a piece of the sky with his thin body.
He shouted with life, resonated with every fragile soul, and was struck by his lyrics.
And when Zheng Zhihua appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala on crutches, his life probably really reached its peak.
No one could have imagined that such a powerful song would be sung by a disabled person.
Everyone saw him so strong and optimistic, they couldn't help but be moved.
Is Zheng Zhihua really as powerful as he appears? Didn't he complain about the injustice of fate?
03 There is another story behind the song
Of course not, he even almost ended his life because of one incident.
At the age of 17, Jung Ji-hwa had a girlfriend, which was his first love.
The girl did not dislike him, she was sunny and cheerful, and came out to enlighten him when he was unhappy.
Zheng Zhihua sees her as a confidant, a rainbow in his gloomy life.
But the good times did not last long, and the relationship between the two was known by the woman's parents.
They are adamantly opposed to the girl being with a disabled person, believing that he cannot give her happiness.
In desperation, they could only separate.
After the breakup, Zheng Zhihua was sad, why can't disabled people have happiness, it's better to live like this than to die.
He wrote 11 suicide notes to say goodbye to the world.
But at the last moment, he figured it out, his past self has persevered, if he gives up now, isn't he sorry for the efforts he made when he was a child?
He had to live as a person to prove himself.
After becoming a singer, Jung Ji-hwa wrote these posthumous songs into songs, the most famous of which is the song "Don't Cry, My Favorite Person".
His songs healed himself, as well as those who heard them.
Once when he was giving a concert, he met a special audience.
It was a father who looked vicissitudes, and he prayed that Jung Ji-hwa would sign his name indicating that his daughter was his fan.
Zheng Zhihua asked him curiously: "Why didn't your daughter come herself?" ”
His tears welled up in his eyes, and it turned out that his daughter had had her leg amputated because of bone cancer and was still lying in the hospital.
The girl's name was Chen Wei, she used to be a dancer, but she lost her legs due to illness.
Not only did he not have a dream, but he also became a disabled person, and through Zheng Zhihua's songs, he rekindled hope.
Zheng Zhihua understood the feelings of the father and daughter very well, and he personally went to the hospital to visit Chen Wei.
Tell her that she can play the piano in the future, and use her own example to encourage her to get better quickly.
After this incident, Chen Wei received a lot of attention, and the pharmaceutical company provided her with a prosthetic leg worth 60,000 yuan for free.
She was also admitted to the central music with her own efforts and was also hired as a radio host.
Everyone thought that her life would go to the light from now on, but no one expected that a kind thought of Zheng Zhihua not only helped her, but also harmed her.
Many people pointed at her behind her back, saying that what she got was brought by Zheng Zhihua, and without him, Chen Wei was nothing.
This makes a girl's self-esteem hit and also feel that it is an insult to her idol.
In the end, she left a suicide note and left this world.
This became something that Zheng Zhihua regretted for his life, and he was full of guilt, but he could not save a young life after all.
04 For my daughter's comeback
In 1999, for many reasons, Zheng Zhihua left the place of right and wrong in the entertainment industry.
He had a girlfriend before he became famous, who supported him to the top.
Their relationship was very deep, he finally got free, and the two went to get a marriage license.
Soon after, Zheng Zhihua's daughter was born, and after becoming a father, his heart suddenly became soft.
Once the teacher of my daughter's kindergarten asked them to write the name of their parents, and after seeing the name of Zheng Zhihua, it was like seeing a ghost.
She didn't know that her father was a famous singer and thought he was a bad person.
When she grew up, she also became a fan of her father and liked to listen to his father's singing.
For the sake of his daughter, Zheng Zhihua decided to come back.
He signed a contract with a mainland company, started publishing songs again, and appeared on some variety shows.
It's a pity that after "disappearing" for so many years, he has long lost his heat and can no longer compare to before.
Zheng Zhihua has become a "passed" singer, and because of his physical condition, he will not appear in the public eye too often.
The glory of the past is a thing of the past, but fortunately his songs are still sung from generation to generation.
So everyone still remembers his name, and when the music starts again, awaken their youthful memories.
Jung Ji-hwa spent his life healing his unhappy childhood, and despite his physical disability, he has always been strong.
He is the representative of inspirational characters, with a full soul and dares to attack reality.
There have been mixed reviews of him, but he is indeed a generational memory and has left us with many good songs.
I hope that Zheng Zhihua is in good health and can continue to compose music and write a "sailor" legend.
