"You are worth more than 100 million, and your reputation is so high, it's time to change a pillow person, otherwise where is it to match you."
Once, some people did not understand why Jiang Tao regarded his ordinary-looking wife as a treasure, and asked him the above questions.
The answer he gave was: I can't do the thing of changing my wife when I am famous, my wife married me is a second marriage, and she deserves me to be so good to her.
Jiang Tao, who is long-term and single-minded, can only be said to have not forgotten his roots after becoming red, and is good to his wife and mother-in-law, and even his mother, who has been remarried for many years, has also taken back to take care of him together.
In this era of "feelings like fast food", people are especially moved by Jiang Tao's affection and righteousness for his wife, but they do not know that this is his wife's deep affection and dedication.
In 1985, at the age of 19, he replaced his father as a railroad worker.
But he did not give up his pursuit of music, and he is still working hard for his musical dreams after work.
In his words in an interview, he has loved singing since he was a child, and received more formal training in the Children's Palace.
He did not lack stage performance experience since he was a child, but he suffered many failures when he was admitted to the conservatory near his graduation from high school.
After being eliminated from auditions for the Railway Corps, the Front-line Literary Troupe, and the Avant-garde Literary Troupe, he accepted his father's arrangement to become a railway worker.
Fortunately, he did not give up music, which not only allowed him to make his desired achievements in the field of singing, but also allowed him to gain a beautiful love.
When he became regular at the railway bureau, his salary rose from 23 yuan a month to 26 yuan, and he took the salary to find a guitar teacher and began to learn guitar to prepare for subsequent creation.
Coincidentally, his guitar teacher had a niece about his age named Wan Xiaomu.
To be correct, his guitar teacher is Wan Xiaomu's third brother-in-law.
When the two met for the first time, he was attracted by Wan Xiaomu's beautiful appearance and generous temperament.
He turned his heart into action and took the initiative to pursue Wan Xiaomu.
At that time, Wan Xiaomu was working as an accountant in a seal factory, which was a well-paid and quite decent job.
He would often ride his bicycle to the gate of Wan Xiaomu's factory to wait for her when he didn't have to go to work.
At first, the reason why he went to wait for Wan Xiaomu was not to date, but to go to the guitar teacher's house with Wan Xiaomu.
When he arrives at the teacher's house, he shows off his talents, playing the guitar and singing.
The beautiful name is that Jean wants to get the guidance of the mentor, but he is actually secretly confessing to Wan Xiaomu.
What he remembers very well is that when he sang the song "Hotline You and Me", the hot and straightforward lyrics made Wan Xiaomu very moved.
He knew that it was the best time to court, so he confessed to Wan Xiaomu.
Unsurprisingly, Wan Xiaomu accepted his pursuit.
At that time, what he didn't know was that his girlfriend was a "Miss Qianjin".
It wasn't until he visited the house and saw that Wan Xiaomu's home was so big, that he knew that his girlfriend's family was prosperous.
In particular, the color TV worth 800 yuan in the living room is the most striking contrast to his salary of 36 yuan per month.
At that time, he learned that the ancestors of the Wan family were wealthy merchants, and Wan Xiaomu's father was a pilot.
Jiang Tao is with her, which is undoubtedly the script of "poor boy climbs the rich".
Wan Xiaomu's mother did not approve of the two being together, but Wan Xiaomu did not think he was poor, but appreciated his talent.
In 1987, the two entered into marriage hand in hand.
For Wan Xiaomu's family, they all feel that their daughters are married to poor boys.
In fact, what Wan Xiaomu really loves about him is not just "marrying" him, but always supporting his musical dreams and accompanying him to endure hardships on the way to realize his musical dreams.
In 1990, he gave up his job at the railway bureau and joined the Qingdao Song and Dance Troupe.
His behavior made his father very unfavorable.
His father even felt that he was not doing his job properly and would drag down his wife and children.
But his love for music is too strong, and he feels that he can make a difference in the field of singing.
And his wife, from beginning to end, supported his ideals.
In 1992, he participated in the Young Singer Grand Prix held by CCTV, and won the first place in the popular singing method of the professional group with a song "Snow in My Hometown".
The line-up of players in that edition was very strong, and he stood out with his strong strength.
He won the first place, Mao Ning and Chen Hong were second, and Sun Yue was third.
In 1993, he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV and sang "Oriental Light" with Hang Tianqi.
It was in this year that he was named a national second-class actor.
Before he could establish himself in Beijing, he desperately wanted his wife to be reunited.
At that time, it was not clear to him whether his wife would be willing to quit a decent job for herself and leave her homeland to drift north with her.
And when he saw his wife with her son and mother-in-law in front of his rental house in Beijing, he burst into tears.
But at that time, he did not have the ability to earn money alone to feed the whole family.
Knowing that he is financially difficult, his father will take out dozens of dollars every month to supplement the nutrition of his eldest grandson.
In order to make ends meet, Wan Xiaomu also found a helper in Beijing.
Wan Xiaomu told him that the helper was his old profession, working as an accountant in a restaurant.
But he found that in Beijing, where he didn't know his life, his wife couldn't find a job as an accountant at all, but washed dishes and cleaned the restaurant kitchen.
At that time, he felt very sorry for his wife, who could have married a richer "Qianjin", or stayed in Qingdao to continue to do decent accounting work, but his wife was not only willing to marry him, but also willing to accompany him to suffer and struggle together in Beijing.
In the final analysis, this is because his wife has always understood him, knew that his parents had divorced since he was a child, so he longed for family warmth, and did not complain when he knew that his dream job could not support the whole family, but used his own labor to help the family improve the economy.
In 1994, his singing level was recognized and appreciated again, and he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang "The Man Who Came Home".
In the same year, he was selected by the Armed Police Cultural Troupe and became a solo actor in the troupe.
It should be known that the Armed Police Cultural Labor Corps is at the division level.
He wore a military uniform, and his parents, wife and children felt honored.
However, the problem is that the wages of the literary and labor groups affiliated with the state are not high, and the living conditions of his family have not improved.
In 1995, 1996 and 1997, he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala three times in a row.
After appearing on the Spring Festival Gala for five consecutive years, his economic conditions are still very tight.
The family of four has not solved the housing problem in Beijing, rented a cold and damp basement, and borrowed a relative's warehouse.
He said that the warehouse he borrowed from relatives at that time was for cabbage, and a bed next to the cabbage pile was the place to sleep.
Later, he moved to a small room in Xia Gong's mansion, and the location was not only remote but also overgrown, and it was common for rats to enter and exit.
What makes him feel mixed is that sometimes he wakes up in the morning and sees the marks of his son's little face with small paws, which proves that the mouse is bouncing alive on the child when he is asleep.
When the conditions were so difficult, the couple also had quarrels and stirring.
And according to the words of his very good friends, the relationship between the husband and wife is sublimated after the quarrel, and there is quite a sense that the more arguing, the more intimate it is.
Later, his popular song "Birthday Present" was based on the inspiration when he was locked in the door after a fight with his wife.
There is also the song "I Love You Really Love You" that is familiar to the audience, which is also his masterpiece for his wife.
In 1997, his singing career finally ushered in a new breakthrough.
The famous composer Bian Liunian invited him to sing "Old Uncle Fool", and he readily agreed.
At his suggestion, the song was renamed "The Fool Moves the Mountain".
In 1998, he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the sixth time and sang "The Fool Moves the Mountain".
This time walking off the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he quickly became popular all over the country, and his singing "The Fool Moves the Mountain" became the golden song of the year.
At his suggestion, teacher Bian Liunian agreed to arrange the song into a MV.
He also appeared in real life when he was the lead singer, and his work not only won the gold award of the national MTV TV competition, but also allowed him to gain more fans.
In 1999, he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the seventh time and sang "Always Go Home and See" with Cai Guoqing, Chen Hong and Zhang Mai.
As the song became a hit song that swept the country, his popularity increased again.
From 2000 to 2003, he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala three times.
In the eyes of the audience, he has undoubtedly become a frequent guest on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
In 2005, he released a third solo album, and the "Birthday Gift" included in it became the golden song of the year.
In 2007, he released the single "I Love You Really Love You", which he indicated was dedicated to his favorite wife.
At that time, his wife became the envy of many people.
In 2008, he not only appeared on the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala again, but also gave his wonderful performance in the "Music and Dance Gala of the Chinese Armed Police Cultural Troupe" held by the Beijing Guoan Theater.
In 2011, he collaborated with Cai Guoqing again and sang "Snowflakes Drifting in the North Tonight" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The singing skills of the older generation of singers are very solid, and he, like Cai Guoqing, has become a beautiful scenery on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
His singing level has always been online, and he often appears on various national performance stages in military uniform.
If the Spring Festival Gala is a stage for the audience to recognize and remember him, then his singing on behalf of the Cultural Labor Troupe to the front line shows his singing strength and career value.
After nearly 20 years of struggle on the road of singing, he gained fame and fortune.
In 2012, it has been 25 years that he and his wife have been in the same boat through thick and thin, and the couple is known as a typical "model star couple".
Some people don't quite understand, compared with the female stars in the circle, Wan Xiaomu looks mediocre, and even looks a little old, why has he always been held by him in the palm of his hand?
Some people even asked him, saying that he is worth 1 billion and is very popular, it is time to change a pillow person, otherwise where is he worthy of him.
His answer is very direct, after becoming famous, he can't do this kind of thing by himself, and without his wife's support and companionship, he may not have the achievements after 20 years of insisting on fighting for his dreams.
He also said that his career is not just his struggle, his wife has always played an important role.
For example, he focuses on singing and work, and can't even drive, and his wife drives him back and forth for performances in Beijing.
For his dress, his wife personally checked him every day for ten years to ensure that he was generous and decent on stage.
There were some changes in the clothes, which he sometimes felt could be ignored, but his wife never gave up and completed the trimming herself.
In the stage of more performances, his wife will help him take notes, help him manage the time of the performance, and prevent the overlap of the time of the performance.
In the words of his friends, his wife, who is also his driver and assistant, silently behind him to help him with his career.
His friends around him were almost invariably praised by his wife.
The good brother said that his sister-in-law loves him and cherishes him so much!
So it's still that sentence, long-term love and single-mindedness is Jiang Tao's best reward for loving his wife deeply and following him.
And it is not for nothing that the two of them are called "model star couples", they not only truly love each other, but also love, care for and accompany each other's parents.
His mother-in-law has lived with Jiang Tao for nearly thirty years, and he has always treated his mother-in-law like his own mother.
In the words of his mother-in-law, none of my own sons was so good to me.
After the death of his father, he realized the pain of "the son wants to raise and the family is not there", and decided to take his mother, who had long been married, to take good care of him.
His decision was approved by his wife, who regarded it as his duty to serve the elders on both sides.
In September 2023, the husband and wife broadcast live together.
Although it causes complaints because of excessive beauty, it can be seen with the naked eye that the relationship between the husband and wife is still very close.
In the entertainment industry with an alarmingly high divorce rate, they are undoubtedly the object of learning for many star couples in the circle: when you meet in micro, you can't forget to be rich!
