A song "Little Poplar" is popular all over the country, and the whole army deserves to be the "male No. 1", and he has accompanied his wife to fight cancer for 35 years and never gave up.
He is the mainland tenor singer, Yan Weiwen, an iconic figure of the tenor.
Loving wife and pet daughter, three generations now live happily. But Yan Weiwen, an old artist who has always shown himself with iron bones and both virtue and art, fell into the vortex of public opinion at the age of 66.
Wearing high-priced clothes to show off their wealth and opening sky-high training courses to make money, can old artists really not escape the curse of "not guaranteeing the late festival"?
"Male No. 1" in the whole army
Yan Weiwen was born in Pingyao, Shanxi Province in 1957, and when he was a child, he almost reversed his artistic path because of family composition.
When he was 15 years old, Yan Weiwen followed the provincial song and dance troupe to perform propaganda performances of the military region, which coincided with the recruitment of cadets by the propaganda team of the military region, and Yan Weiwen quickly signed up under the reminder of the captain of the propaganda team.
After everything was ready, the "capitalist" grandfather, who was in the job because of his personal file, almost blocked Yan Weiwen's way to join the army.
The young Yan Weiwen secretly hid in the corner and cried, but the captain of the song and dance troupe could not stand it, and expressed his willingness to vouch for him, but asked Yan Weiwen to write a report himself.
Thinking about it, Yan Weiwen didn't know how to express his enthusiasm for joining the army, and the enlistment report he finally handed in was only six words "firmly asking for enlistment".
Fortunately, the commander of the military region had seen Yan Weiwen's performance and appreciated his talent, otherwise Yan Weiwen's road to enlistment would have to turn a few corners.
After putting on the military uniform, Yan Weiwen absorbed all the knowledge he could access in the army, and his singing became louder and louder, gradually becoming the "pillar" of the propaganda team of the military region.
Seven years after enlistment, because of his outstanding performance, the leaders of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe also began to dig people. In 1979, after an interview, Yan Weiwen successfully entered the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.
Which one of them can enter here is the best, Yan Weiwen cheered up after being hit and studied hard. In 1983, Yan Weiwen began to work as a soloist in the song and dance troupe.
1984 was a special year for Yan Weiwen, and it was this year that Yan Weiwen launched his famous work "Little Poplar".
This song praises the "little poplar" spirit of the soldiers, and quickly spread throughout the country, and Yan Weiwen also became a well-known military singer for the public.
It was precisely because of this song that Yan Weiwen began to enter the border front. In 1985, the song and dance troupe was going to the front line to perform condolences, and when he heard the news, Yan Weiwen immediately signed up.
On the front line, Yan Weiwen saw many soldiers who fought bravely for the people of his country, and his audience ranged from healthy soldiers to those who were too sick to get up.
And the fighters lying on stretchers, regardless of their physical condition, there is a firm conviction in their eyes.
Yan Weiwen was touched by this belief and burst into tears whenever he sang. The soldiers also loved this comrade-in-arms who came to the condolence performance, and many did not know his real name, so they called him "Little Poplar".
Yan Weiwen is famous for "Little Poplar", because "Little Poplar" came to the border front, and here he became "Little Poplar", what a military spirit!
On the night before returning to Beijing, Yan Weiwen, who had always been drunk, drank freely with his comrades, and his voice was hoarse and could not sing, so he used his ventriloquism to make everyone laugh.
It was also that performance experience that made Yan Weiwen truly understand the meaning of a soldier and became his spiritual food.
Since then, Yan Weiwen's career has become more and more smooth, and in 1988, Yan Weiwen won the gold medal of the professional group of national singing, which established his position in the music industry.
As of today, Yan Weiwen has won numerous awards in well-known competitions, appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala 16 times, and appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the literary and art world 13 times - Hundred Flowers Welcoming the Spring Festival, and has released countless albums.
As a singer, Yan Weiwen's music career has undoubtedly developed extremely brilliantly and successfully. He has a successful career and his love is very successful.
Accompanying his wife to fight cancer for decades has now become a good story in the hearts of countless people.
Couples in distress will not give up
Yan Weiwen and his wife Liu Weixing met in the song and dance troupe of the military region, and fate cleverly put the two in the same class, and they got along day and night, and soon developed a good impression of each other.
But the discipline of the army is strict, and falling in love is absolutely not allowed, so the two can only press down their inner emotions. After seven years of getting along, the two have long decided that the other is a person who spends their lives together.
But the turning point came so quickly, Yan Weiwen was transferred to the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and Liu Weixing was still in Shanxi, and the separation of the two places did not cut off the relationship between the two.
In the era of underdeveloped communication, the two relied on letters to convey their thoughts for each other, and this situation lasted until 1982, when the two tied the knot, and Yan Weiwen married his first love at the age of 25.
After marriage, Yan Weiwen's career went on the right track, and he became more famous after 1984. Yan Weiwen did not have very good results in the first and second Youth Song Competition, and when he regained his strength to prepare for the third Youth Song Competition, an accident happened.
Liu Weixing was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer on the eve of the competition, and if he did not undergo surgery in time, it would be life-threatening. Yan Weiwen's heart was like a knife, and he immediately put down the work at hand and began to contact the hospital everywhere.
But Liu Weixing fell in love with him for many years and then got married, naturally knowing Yan Weiwen's love and dedication to music, and it was a great opportunity that she was unwilling to let Yan Weiwen give up the competition to accompany her to surgery.
Yan Weiwen naturally disagreed, and the two were deadlocked, afraid that provoking his wife would aggravate his illness, so Yan Weiwen had to agree to his wife's request.
With his wife's blessing, Yan Weiwen rushed all the way to the final to win the gold award, which is the best gift for Liu Weixing's delayed surgery.
After that, Yan Weiwen embarked on the road of accompanying his wife to fight cancer, and it has been 35 years, during which Liu Weixing has metastasized cancer cells three times, but finally survived tenaciously.
Yan Weiwen said that he did not take good care of her, and that he owed his wife a lifetime that could not be completed. During the treatment, Yan Weiwen accompanied his wife.
In order to strengthen his wife's will to survive, Yan Weiwen took the initiative to become a "stupid person", making Liu Weixing feel that his existence was valuable.
He will take the initiative to give his wife some work, and when his daughter grows up, he will take his wife with him every time he performs, but fortunately, fate did not mistreat the pair of lovers, and Liu Weixing's cancer was finally cured.
Good things followed, and her daughter Yan Jingjing also found her lover after returning to China after studying and returning to China, the other party was called Li Hehe, a graduate student from Harvard.
The other party has an even more remarkable identity, his father is Li Zhaoxing, who was the foreign minister of the mainland. Even with his daughter's assurance, Yan Weiwen is still not at ease, after all, the gap between the two families is a bit big.
For the sake of his daughter's lifelong happiness, Yan Weiwen inquired about Li Hehe's personality in a different way, and after getting a satisfactory answer, Yan Weiwen let go and entrusted his daughter to the other party.
With a successful career, a happy marriage, a happy family, and no worries about his wife, Yan Weiwen can be said to enjoy life with confidence.
But life always has twists and turns, and 66-year-old Yan Weiwen has also fallen into the turmoil of "late festival insecurity" because of sky-high training courses and high-priced clothes.
The spell of the old artist
The incident originated in April this year when Yan Weiwen wore a black sweatshirt during a rehearsal at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, originally the clothes were very inconspicuous, but when the price of the clothes was as high as 7,000 yuan, the wind of public opinion began to change.
Many netizens criticized him for "showing off his wealth" and "extravagant and wasteful", obviously a lot of age, but he still has to wear such high-priced clothes.
Others raised one of Yan Weiwen's clothes to the height of tax evasion, believing that Yan Weiwen, as a public figure, should be a good example and not wasted.
The matter is still not over, the matter of high-priced sweatshirts is deeply in public opinion, and netizens who insist on picking up Yan Weiwen's black materials jumped out again, saying that Yan Weiwen opened sky-high training courses to make money.
His training course lasted only 3 days, but the cost was as high as 4800 yuan, and students without music foundation were also enrolled, which caused heated discussions among netizens.
After all, three days is simply not enough for students without foundation to learn something.
Some people bluntly say that Yan Weiwen uses his reputation and influence to make money, and many people in the industry and fans also feel incomprehensible about this.
For the above two incidents, some people think that Yan Weiwen, like many old artists, borrowed fame to make money, did not set a good example, and did not guarantee his late life.
Of course, some people think that Yan Weiwen has not done anything wrong, Yan Weiwen has always been low-key, the sweatshirt matter was still picked up by netizens, and he has never shown off his wealth on the Internet.
Even if people have money, they naturally want to wear what they want, and they can't convict people with just one mouth.
As for Yan Weiwen's training courses, he himself has never responded to rumors from the outside world, and it is not uncommon for courses with high fees but limited value, but Yan Weiwen's training courses have never lacked students.
Whether it is for the purpose of learning or approaching idols, as long as they are willing to accept it, in fact, they don't have to care too much, after all, one is willing to fight and one is willing to be beaten.
Today's Yan Weiwen lives a low-key life, in addition to the performance is to play with his little granddaughter, the child inherits his grandfather's genes, and his singing talent is also very good.
epilogue
The road to success is often accompanied by controversy and tribulation, and Yan Weiwen's singing path is also the same, fortunately accompanied by his wife along the way.
Now that three generations are together, he is still shining for his singing career, which is enough.
