The sun is always after the storm
Please believe that there is a rainbow
Accept it through thick and thin
I'll always be at your side
I believe that almost everyone has heard this familiar song, but if you ask everyone who sang this song, perhaps few people can answer.
The song, "The Sunshine Is Always After the Storm", sung by Xu Meijing 20 years ago, was released on January 1, 1997, and instantly became popular throughout China. This beautiful song has also become the team song of the Chinese women's volleyball team, inspiring countless athletes. Although many people are familiar with this song, they do not know its singer Xu Meijing. She is often referred to as "knowing only her voice, not her people". However, the story of this talented female singer cannot be ignored. Once known as "the two queens of songs after Teresa Teng" together with Faye Wong. She conquered countless listeners with her unique timbre and superb singing skills, and became a bright star in the pop music scene at that time. Her songs are full of emotion and power, and can deeply touch people's hearts.
But in 2006, the diva suddenly disappeared. At that time, Xu Meijing's sudden disappearance shocked the entire entertainment industry. For a time, the media reported her whereabouts and interviewed many people related to her to try to unravel the mystery. When Xu Meijing entered people's attention again, it was 13 years later. But sadly, she has been reduced to singing on the streets at this time.
What made her ended up hurting her
In 1974, an ordinary couple in Singapore welcomed their daughter Hui Meijing. Although they are not famous, just auto mechanics and hardware store salesmen, they do not hesitate to support their daughter's education.
Since childhood, Xu Meijing has shown her beauty and talent. In the 1990s, she won a Singapore beauty pageant with her height and beautiful lines. However, she did not choose to become a model, but participated in a singing show "Looking for Superstars", where she met the well-known musical talent Chen Jiaming.
Chen Jiaming is a well-known composer in the Chinese music scene, he has composed many popular songs. When Xu Meijing sang in the show, Chen Jiaming thought that her voice was very suitable for his songs, so he decided to sign her.
Xu Meijing's voice was very popular, and her first album "Knowing Know" sold 1 million copies upon its release, and the song "I am a Girl" was even more widely known. In the following years, she and Chen Jiaming continued to collaborate, and each album sold well, and fans couldn't grab it.
Xu Meijing is full of gratitude to Chen Jiaming, but this gratitude triggers another emotion in her heart. She began to have a crush on Chen Jiaming, but due to her immaturity and lack of professional training, she always exposed her technical shortcomings when singing. Every time she was criticized, Chen Jiaming would always comfort her, and this tenderness made Xu Meijing's adoration slowly turn into adoration.
However, when Xu Meijing realized that Chen Jiaming already had a family, her previous affection turned sour. Although she understands that this is wishful thinking out of her own imagination, this fact is still cruel to her.
When Li Zongsheng invited Xu Meijing to Taiwan to develop, she hesitated. She knew that if she went to Taiwan, it would mean leaving her family and Chen Jiaming. In the end, she decided to go to Taiwan. When she asked Chen Jiaming to dinner, she boldly confessed her feelings and plans to go to Taiwan. This dinner became her farewell to Chen Jiaming.
Chen Jiaming was not surprised, because as early as when he was in the company, he noticed the admiration in Xu Meijing's eyes. Although he rejected her, they continued their partnership.
However, Xu Meijing's decision surprised Chen Jiaming. She told the media that she would only cooperate with Chen Jiaming and refused Li Zongsheng's invitation. She believes that Li Zongsheng's style does not match her style, and her resources are all in Singapore.
Chen Jiaming was also surprised by Xu Meijing's decision. Soon after, he confessed his feelings to her and said that he would divorce her harmoniously and give her a decent name. However, this title Xu Meijing waited for a full 6 years.
After Chen Jiaming's divorce, his work became busier, and Xu Meijing's time did not increase. He also did not mention marriage. When Xu Meijing turned 30, her parents urged her to start a family as soon as possible. She began pestering Chen Jiaming to ask for marriage. However, when she went to Chen Jiaming's house, she saw Peng Xiumei.
It turns out that the so-called divorce in the media is just a rumor. Chen Jiaming deceived Xu Meijing in order to appease her. Xu Meijing completely collapsed, she was locked in the house all day and did not go out, and even had the idea of suicide. To put her at ease, her parents arranged a trip abroad.
However, during this trip, Xu Meijing fell into deeper pain. She starts a new relationship, but this relationship only plunges her deeper into the abyss.
Deeper abyss
Years ago, Xu Meijing wanted to go to Taiwan and chose Taiwan Province as the first stop on her trip. At that time, Taiwan was filming a TV series called "Goodbye Firefly", and Hong Kong singer Yuen Yaofa recorded the theme song and filmed the MV. Xu Meijing has been in the Chinese music scene for many years and is a well-known signboard, and Yuen Yaofa only debuted in 2001, for him, Xu Meijing is a senior.
When he learned that she was in Taiwan, Yuan Yaofa quickly contacted her, expressing his hope that he could help guide some musical issues. When she saw Yuan Yaofa for the first time, Xu Meijing felt that he was full of vitality. And Yuan Yaofa had seen Xu Meijing on TV as early as before, and thought that she would be as lively as on TV. However, Xu Meijing always carried a faint sadness. Although Yuan Yaofa was curious, he was also embarrassed to take the initiative to ask, the only thing he could do was to do his best to give this senior the greatest concern.
Soon after, Yuan Yao's cheerful temperament and sunny attitude impressed Xu Meijing, and she gradually came out of the haze, and the two became good friends who talked about everything. After the crew's work was completed, they went together to the next stop of the tour, Italy. In this exotic romantic country, Xu Meijing's pain has dissipated.
Faced with this young man who always dangles in front of her eyes and likes to secretly look at her, Xu Meijing decided to try to date him. After a lesson, she confirmed that Yuan Yaofa was indeed single, and then began this relationship with a large age difference. Returning to Singapore from Italy, Xu Meijing's mental state is completely different. She put aside her depression and became more aware of enjoying life, and did not mention the pain of the past. Her parents are full of love for Yuan Yaofa and think that he is a great contributor to helping their daughter out of trouble.
However, what they did not expect was that Yuan Yaofa also had a fatal flaw - a lack of security. When the single release was difficult, he vented his dissatisfaction on Xu Meijing. Whenever Xu Meijing proposed marriage, Yuan Yaofa always stalled for time. As time passed, Xu Meijing's disappointment and confusion worsened, and the old disease recurred.
Emotional agitation, inability to sleep, and even suicidal thoughts. Once, after she quarreled with Yuan Yaofa, she tried to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but was stopped by Yuan Yaofa in time. However, something more desperate for her is still waiting for her. Chen Jiaming suddenly contacted her and said that he wanted to continue working with her. Although Xu Meijing has put aside her feelings for Chen Jiaming and regards him as a partner, the scandal caused an uproar. In order to avoid more trouble, she did not tell Yuen Yaofa, and secretly returned to Singapore to meet with Chen Jiaming. However, she did not expect to encounter paparazzi tracking and media coverage.
After Yuan Yaofa learned of this, he chose to completely end the relationship between the two. He didn't even want to break up in person, and said indifferently on the phone: "You will never be in my sight again." This incident completely collapsed Xu Meijing.
Not long after, Chen Jiaming also learned the news of Xu Meijing and Yuen Yaofa's breakup, and he came to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Singapore where Xu Meijing lived, wanting to apologize to her and regret the harm he had done to her. However, Xu Meijing's actions surprised him. After seeing Chen Jiaming, she shouted out uncontrollably: "Why did you lie to me? Then she tried to jump out of the window. Fortunately, the hotel had guardrails, and she did not succeed. Then, she threw off Chen Jiaming and rushed into the hallway, shouting for the people in the room to kneel for her and say that she was God. This scene was seen by the paparazzi and the police, and Xu Meijing was immediately sent to the mental health center. Since then, her future has been ruined and few people have seen her again.
For Xu Meijing, she did not sing as her song "The Sunshine Is Always After the Storm", and met a sunny day after the storm. She was only in her 30s, but she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression, and lost the brilliance and grace of her former diva in the music industry.
Today's diva
After half a year of treatment, Xu Meijing finally recovered, regained her healthy body, and obtained permission to be discharged from the hospital. When journalists rushed to interview her, she made no secret of admitting that she had suffered from mental illness and confessed that she still needed medication to control her condition. From her confession, we can see that she got rid of her past morbid appearance and showed a woman who bravely faced difficulties.
Reporters asked questions about her experiences during her illness. Xu Meijing confessed that she often heard auditory hallucinations at that time, always felt that someone was talking to her, and the bed was always full of people who came to visit her. This is undoubtedly a embarrassing scene, a once brilliant goddess of the music industry, experiencing such pain and loneliness.
Soon after, Xu Meijing announced that she would return to the music scene, which was undoubtedly exciting news. However, she faced great difficulties. Since 2007, she has not released a song that has gone viral as in the past, and she can only rely on the classics of the past when attending the party. In today's highly competitive entertainment industry, this is undoubtedly a hurdle that is difficult to cross.
Time flies, and now Xu Meijing is 49 years old. Although she is no longer in the spotlight, news about her still comes to light from time to time. Her relationship situation is still single, and her career is not going well. In addition, her appearance has become old, and her figure is becoming richer and richer, and she can hardly recognize her appearance when she was young.
