"There are 365 sunrises a year, and I send you 365 blessings..."
In 1991, with a song "365 Blessings", Cai Guoqing was popular all over the country. Not only has he become the dream lover of countless girls, but he has also gained a large number of fans.
For a long time after that, not only the TV station repeated the song, but even people on the streets hummed the song.
Today, more than twenty years have passed since the song was first sung. Singer Cai Guoqing is also about to enter the year of flower armor, after so many years, what stories have happened to him?
01 Child star origin, but troubled by appearance
When Cai Guoqing is mentioned, people will always think of his songs and his "anti-growth" face. After all, he is now more than half a hundred years old, but he still maintains a white appearance.
But in fact, few people know that Cai Guoqing in the early years was severely depressed because of his appearance.
And this also starts with Cai Guoqing's "child star identity".
In the early autumn of 1966, Cai Guoqing, who was born in the apartment building of the Central Ballet, was very popular with his uncles and aunts since he was a child.
Especially when Cai Guoqing often hummed his father's famous song accurately, many people sighed that this child is really talented.
"This kid is really talented." The famous tenor Li Guangxi couldn't help but praise Cai Zhongqiu, "In the future, follow me like this, I will enlighten you!" ”
In this way, while other children were still running around the street to play, Cai Guoqing had already started his "one-on-one" music enlightenment class.
Cai Guoqing's efforts and talent did not live up to Teacher Li's enlightenment class. In the years that followed, he not only learned many songs, but also joined the choir of China Central Radio at the age of 7.
Later, Cai Guoqing relied on his beautiful singing voice, and the radio station also recorded many solo programs for him.
In 1975, at the farewell ceremony held by the central government for Prince Sihanouk, Cai Guoqing was also given a chance to perform.
Later, he also performed for the central leaders at the "May Day Garden Party".
In the face of these "past honors", Cai Guoqing is still very excited to this day, because it is his best childhood memory.
However, this beauty was violently affected soon after.
It turned out that after the national college entrance examination resumed in 1977, the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama decided to follow the trend of the times and set up a junior class.
Cai Zhongqiu, who learned the news, very much hoped that Cai Guoqing would have the opportunity to go to university, so he hurriedly rushed to the enrollment site with Cai Guoqing.
It stands to reason that Cai Guoqing, who already has many years of acting experience, should be able to get this opportunity smoothly.
But his white and beautiful appearance made the admissions teacher a little dissatisfied.
After all, people in that era liked mature and powerful men, and they needed to have the breath of "workers, peasants and soldiers".
But Cai Guoqing's appearance is simply a model of "separation from the masses" in the eyes of admissions teachers.
Although Cai Guoqing sensed the teacher's dissatisfaction at this time, he still seriously performed the poetry recitation and solo he had prepared for his love of literature and art.
After the performance, Rao was the admissions teacher no longer liked his appearance, and could not deny Cai Guoqing's talent in literary performance.
Therefore, after a long discussion by the admissions office, they still passed Cai Guoqing's exam.
It's just that no one expected that the controversy over Cai Guoqing's appearance was still ahead.
After entering university, Cai Guoqing always didn't look like him when playing a revolutionary figure because of his appearance. Therefore, no matter how hard he tried, the report card was always "good".
The trouble about appearance not only continued when Cai Guoqing was a student, but also when Cai Guoqing became popular because of "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings", he was suffering from various attacks and doubts.
Especially in 1991, the article "Sweet Singer, Tired of Death" published in "Beijing Radio and Television News" pushed Cai Guoqing to the cusp.
It turned out that in this article, the author Li Dong buttoned Cai Guoqing with a "cream boy" hat.
Although this title seems to us to be nothing today, in the society at that time, "cream boy" meant that there was no masculinity and did not conform to mainstream aesthetics. This is simply a fatal blow for an artist.
It was precisely because of this incident that Cai Guoqing fell into an extremely painful depression.
It was Liu Xiaoqing's words that made Cai Guoqing come out of the shadows.
Why does a popular movie star and a rising star in the music scene intersect?
02 Broke up twice and finally met true love, was once confessed by Na Ying?
It turned out that although Cai Guoqing became famous at the Spring Festival Gala in 1991, as early as 1986, he showed his perfect control of pop music at the first National Top 100 Singers concert.
Therefore, in the following years, Cai Guoqing not only won many awards in competitions, but also successfully participated in the recording of CCTV's programs.
It was also during an event that Liu Xiaoqing met Cai Guoqing. Liu Xiaoqing liked Cai Guoqing's songs very much, and took this opportunity to become good friends.
As a movie star who has been in the literary and art circle for many years, the first time the article "Listen to the Evil, Tired of Death" was published, Liu Xiaoqing expected how much damage this would cause to Cai Guoqing.
It's just that she didn't expect that Cai Guoqing would become a "frightened bird" because of this incident.
During that time, as long as Cai Guoqing appeared in public, he would feel that the audience in the audience was pointing at his appearance.
There were even many commercial performances, which were forced to stop.
Liu Xiaoqing, who learned the news, specially found Cai Guoqing at an event and prepared to enlighten him: "National Day, do you want to stand under the spotlight in the middle of the stage?" ”
Cai Guoqing, who did not know why, nodded, what artist does not want to stand in the spotlight?
Receiving Cai Guoqing's response, Liu Xiaoqing continued: "If you want to stand in the center of the stage, you have to bear the evaluation from all sides. ”
Hearing Liu Xiaoqing's words, Cai Guoqing's heart felt much better. Yes, the audience came to listen to their own singing, and they didn't come to see what they looked like, so why bother with their own appearance?
With Liu Xiaoqing's enlightenment, Cai Guoqing has changed a lot, and he is no longer afraid, but appears in front of everyone with a positive attitude.
But for the title of "cream boy", Cai Guoqing still wants to change it. To this end, in 1993, Cai Guoqing resolutely chose to join the army, hoping that the life of the army could bring him some changes.
But it is precisely because of this experience of joining the army that Cai Guoqing missed his first two relationships.
Cai Guoqing's first girlfriend was called Ace, an American. They met at a show in 1994.
Although Sino-US relations were relatively stable at this time, Cai Guoqing, who had become a soldier at this time, still had to take discipline as the principle in handling private affairs.
Therefore, when Ace expressed his request that Cai Guoqing marry him back to the United States, he refused without any hesitation.
Faced with this forced relationship, Cai Guoqing has reluctance and helplessness. But in the face of the honor of the country and the army, he felt that it was normal to give up a relationship.
Not only Cai Guoqing's first girlfriend, but also his second girlfriend has the same problem.
Like Ace, Cai Guoqing's second girlfriend Rui Ting is also a foreigner. Ruiting's parents are Swedish executives, so they worked in China.
And this has also become an opportunity for Rui Ting to know Cai Guoqing. It's just that with the arrangement of Ruiting's parents returning to Sweden to work, Cai Guoqing and Ruiting are also faced with the choice of who to go and who stays.
Rui Ting thinks that Sweden's living environment is better, but Cai Guoqing really can't accept leaving her country.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Cai Guoqing had to choose to break up with Ruiting again.
Faced with two successive emotional failures, Cai Guoqing's heart was full of pain and hesitation. He didn't understand why he repeatedly lost the feelings he cherished.
But Cai Guoqing, who was immersed in the pain of his lost love at the moment, never thought that he would receive Na Ying's confession soon after!
The day he learned that Na Ying liked him, Cai Guoqing didn't believe it. He couldn't imagine how Na Ying could like himself.
Similarly, imagining Na Ying, who has a rough personality, Cai Guoqing also has 10,000 reasons to refuse.
Because in Cai Guoqing's heart, he always wants to find a gentle girl as a partner in life, obviously Na Ying does not meet this requirement.
And Cai Guoqing's wife Qin Juan is a very gentle woman.
Like Na Ying, Qin Juan was also the one who confessed to Cai Guoqing.
It's just that unlike Na Ying's choice to give up after her confession was rejected, Qin Juan persevered on this road of pursuing Cai Guoqing for 8 years.
Even for a long time after marrying Cai Guoqing, the identity of Qin Juan's real wife was not announced.
It was not until 2016 that Cai Guoqing announced on social platforms that he had been married and had a five-year-old son.
Faced with this news, fans sent blessings to Cai Guoqing for the first time. But many people also questioned why Cai Guoqing wanted to marry incognito, and some even said that Cai Guoqing was not good for his wife Qin Juan.
In the face of this question, Cai Guoqing has never responded, but in his daily life, we can get the answer.
03 "Confidant" in the family
In fact, over the years, although Cai Guoqing has never suspended his performances, he has never neglected his care for his family.
Especially since the birth of his and Qin Juan's sons, Cai Guoqing has always attached great importance to the companionship and growth of his children.
Not only personally pick up and drop off the children to and from school every day, but also take them to visit various famous teachers and participate in various outdoor activities.
It is precisely because of Cai Guoqing's careful education that the eldest son Cai Xuanzheng not only obtained the "exemption" from the entire primary school level, but also successfully won the Hans Christian Andersen International Art Award.
At the "June 1st Children's Day" party organized by CCTV this year, Cai Xuanzheng not only performed a flute live, but also took his younger brother to participate in his father's performance.
In the face of his mother suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Cai Guoqing has always insisted on accompanying the elderly.
Even if her mother no longer recognizes her son, Cai Guoqing will still insist on feeding her mother herself.
Sometimes her mother is a little sober and touches Cai Guoqing's cheek or arm, and Cai Guoqing can cry with joy.
Not only his own family, Cai Guoqing, who knows the truth of "an eldest brother is like a father", also cares very much for his younger brother's family.
Even when his brother and sister-in-law quarrel, Cai Guoqing will patiently solve the problems between them.
Especially when facing his younger siblings from Russia, Cai Guoqing can always give just the right amount of care and respect.
And these trivial things have also become the "main keynote" of Teacher Cai's life today.
Facing such a harmonious big family and a husband who cares for her family, how could Qin Juan not be happy?
Epilogue:
Perhaps because of the haze, Cai Guoqing is now particularly indifferent when facing life.
Especially on the stage of the third season of "Brother Riding the Wind and Waves", who is already in his 50s, not only does he not have any signs of aging, but even his mentality is better than that of many young people.
There were even many young people who said after watching Cai Guoqing's performance: "Teacher Cai Guoqing's mental state is decades ahead of me. ”
But only Cai Guoqing knows that his open-mindedness has been honed after decades of ups and downs.
I hope that in the future, Teacher Cai can continue to maintain this open-minded attitude and become a new generation of "immortal male gods"!
