On that bright night in 2007, a girl named Wang Erni walked into the sight of the national audience from a small mountain village in northern Shaanxi, and she became an instant hit on the stage of "Avenue of Stars".
After that, Wang Erni's life has changed dramatically.
She stepped out of the countryside, and as a resident singer of CCTV, she has traveled all over New York, Washington, Boston and other international metropolises.
The record company threw an olive branch to her, and the annual salary was as high as millions.
However, when all eyes were on her, Wang Erni chose another life, she gave up the enviable stage and high salary, and decided to marry a rural boy named Li Fei.
Li Fei is not a powerful person, he has no shining name, and he has not received much education, he is just an ordinary rural youth who can no longer be ordinary.
He has proposed to break up with Wang Erni many times, but she stubbornly chose to spend her life with him and turned a deaf ear to the advice of the outside world.
Many questioned whether it was worth it for her to do so.
In 1985, in a remote mountain village in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, Wang Erni came to this world, where the people are simple and love music, especially in traditional folk songs, such as "Dongfang Hong", "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Yanyan", etc., all carry profound regional culture and emotions Growing up in such an environment, Wang Erni's soul is naturally imprinted with the charm of folk songs, which also lays the foundation for her future singing career. The family depends on thin crops for their livelihood.
Wang Erni ranked second, the family because of the belief in the "cheap name is easy to feed", so she gave this name, with the growth of age, it is difficult to support the family by farming alone, Wang Erni's father went to the town to work as a construction worker, because Wang Erni showed a love and talent for singing, her parents tried their best, and finally sent her to Yulin Baihua Art Institute to study, at that time, she was only 12 years old, tuition and living expenses are a huge expense for the family, and it is often difficult for the family to pay the whole at one time.
Even if it is a simple fare to go home, it is a heavy burden for Wang Erni, under the advice of her mother, she reduced the number of times she went home, and devoted herself to her studies In those difficult days, she never received a call from her parents, whenever she saw her classmates answering the call from her parents, she always looked forward to it, but her wait was never realized, until one day, her father came to the school with only 50 yuan and a few steamed buns due to the suspension of the construction site, and he left all the money and food to Wang Erni, And told her to study hard.
Looking at her father's back gradually moving away, the corners of Wang Erni's eyes overflowed with tears, and she vowed to grow up as soon as possible and repay their nurturing kindness.
At the age of 14, Wang Erni's singing voice was recognized by the Ansai County Art Troupe, and she began a touring career across the country. Wang Erni met her first love, Li Fei.
The two have similar backgrounds, both come from poor rural areas, so they understand each other's preciousness more Although the life in the outside world is colorful and people are diverse, Wang Erni, who walked out of her hometown, felt the emptiness in her heart, and only when she was with Li Fei, she felt peaceful and belonging, they both longed to get out of the mountains, but when they really took that step, their hearts were full of reluctance, which was rooted in the tenderness and tradition of the Chinese heart.
Although there was no commitment between them at that time, there was a silent agreement in their hearts, which was something hidden deep in their hearts, and only those who had really experienced it could understand it.
As she grows older, Wang Erni's singing career is also steadily rising In 2004, she won the championship of the National Folk Song Contest and was invited to Beijing to participate in the recording of TV programs. A girl from a mountain village, a folk singer, or an ordinary person who is entering society and trying to fit into urban life? Her heart was struggling, she was lost.
In this process, Li Fei became the only comfort she could find, they kept in touch through phone calls and letters, shared each other's joys, sorrows and sorrows in her heart, no matter how the situation changed, Li Fei was her most real reliance.
However, fate is always full of variables, in the summer of 2006, Li Fei proposed to break up in a letter to Wang Erni, he said that he couldn't accept that his girlfriend was in a different place, running around, and he could only do farm work at home, he was afraid that this gap would get bigger and bigger, and eventually cause them to go their separate ways, this letter was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it hit Wang Erni's heart heavily.
At that moment, she almost collapsed, she couldn't figure out, why when she tried her best to pursue her dreams, she had to face the loss of the person she cherished the most? She was confused, she was in pain, she began to doubt her choice, she thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give up everything in Beijing and return to Li Fei, she didn't want him to feel lonely, she didn't want to sacrifice love because of her dreams, but when she arrived in Li Fei's hometown, she found that he was no longer there.
He went farther south, to find a piece of the sky of his own, this blow was fatal for Wang Erni, she lost her direction, her world seemed to collapse, she was immersed in grief, and she could barely extricate herself.
Just when she fell into despair, a light shone into her life In 2007, CCTV's "Avenue of Stars" column team came to her village, in order to find those singing geniuses hidden in the deep mountains and old forests With the encouragement of family and friends, Wang Erni participated in the audition, no one could have imagined that a girl in a mountain village could show such an amazing talent on such a stage Her voice, her emotions, and her story deeply touched everyone.
In this way, she embarked on the "Avenue of Stars" and started a new life journey, her performance caused a sensation across the country, countless viewers met this girl named Wang Erni through TV, the media tracked and reported on her, her story was widely disseminated, she became a household name, and also became a role model in the hearts of many young people, since then, her life has changed dramatically.
She stepped out of the countryside and became a national-level singer, her footprints in New York, Washington, Boston and other international metropolises, she became a popular singer in China and even the world, many record companies threw olive branches to her, and the annual salary was as high as millions.
However, just as her life seemed to have reached its peak, when all the honor and wealth were beckoning to her, she made an unexpected decision She chose to quit, quit the dazzling stage, quit the industry that allowed her to continue to gain fame and fortune She chose to return to Li Fei's side, to the place where she could feel at ease and warmth Many people don't understand, why did she give up all this? Is it worth it for an ordinary rural boy? This decision, in the eyes of many people, is stupid and irrational, but in Wang Erni's opinion, this is the most real choice in her heart.
She knew that no matter how wonderful the outside world was, it was not what she really wanted and what she longed for, but the peace of mind.
No matter where she is, Wang Erni always wears ethnic clothes, touching people's hearts with folk songs that have been passed down from generation to generation In 2007, for her 8th year of work, although her career has been moving forward steadily over the years, there has been no big breakthrough So, in order to pursue a broader stage, she chose to participate in the cradle of grassroots singers - "Avenue of Stars" Before the competition, her mother carefully made a red dress for her, which became her iconic costume Wang Erni knows very well, In order to impress the audience on stage, you must have a strong personality.
Especially her eye-catching clothes and life experience, which easily touched the heartstrings of countless audiences At that time, she was only 22 years old, and she was full of youth, all of which moved the audience.
A major feature of "Avenue of Stars" is that each contestant seems to have a gripping background story Zhao Benshan ridiculed this in the sketch "Not Bad Money", he said: "Those contestants who sing and cry all say how difficult their families are and how difficult life is" Zhao Benshan used the word "acting" to sharply point out the tendency of the talent show at that time to exaggerate the facts, of course, not all stories are made up, and there are also some impostors that were later revealed, but Wang Erni's story is true, Rigorously verified.
Although the champion that year finally fell to the blind singer Yang Guang, Wang Erni won the fifth place, but her popularity was not lost to the champion, and she was even praised as the "uncrowned king" by the audience.
After the game, Wang Erni not only became a frequent guest of CCTV, but also hosted CCTV-7's "Country World", and had a personal special performance in "Dream Theater". In addition, she also sang the ending song of the tribute drama "Dongfang Hong" and held a solo concert in CCTV-3's "Peak Music Collection". CCTV's love for her can be seen from this.
In 2013, at the age of 28, Wang Erni joined the Beijing Opera and Dance Theater as a national first-class actor and held her own concert in Singapore. After that, she also held solo concerts in Macau, Hong Kong and other places focusing on northern Shaanxi folk songs. The petite Wang Erni has endless energy and dreams, and she is eager to spread the song of this yellow land all over the world. In 2016, at the Cultural Congress, she sang in unison with singers Guo Lanying and Zhang Ye, and her name became a household name.
However, her boyfriend Li Fei is an unknown ordinary person, when Li Fei feels that the identity gap with his girlfriend is widening, he plans to propose to break up, hoping that Wang Erni can have a better future, but Wang Erni has been with him for seven years, knows his character, and is resolutely unwilling to separate, not long after, Wang Erni held a solo concert again, and her value in the business world has gradually been recognized, many record companies have extended an olive branch to her, and when the record company tempted Wang Erni with a high annual salary, Li Fei's pressure reached its peak.
He, like ordinary people, has no extraordinary artistic talent, nor does he have the quality to become a star, he is just an ordinary rural youth, no matter how hard he tries, he can't match Wang Erni's achievements, whenever he is with his girlfriend, Li Fei is always ridiculed by others.
So, Li Fei proposed to Wang Erni again to break up this time, 29-year-old Wang Erni did not hesitate any longer, in order to eliminate her boyfriend's doubts, she chose to register her marriage with him, and gave up the contract with the record company, which means giving up a high annual salary But for Wang Erni, this is not important, because she can make money through performances, and Li Fei is irreplaceable in her life She decided to make Li Fei her agent, fully responsible for her work and life, and bought a Mercedes-Benz car for him However, Li Fei is not familiar with the operation of the entertainment industry, and some of his mistakes often cause trouble for Wang Erni.
But Wang Erni never blamed him, on the contrary, she always comforted him, saying that it was a kind of exercise for him.
Li Fei knew that if there was no Wang Erni, he would be an ordinary person in this society, and he couldn't even afford a Mercedes-Benz. But with Wang Erni, his life has changed dramatically. Now he is no longer the rural youth who had dreams but was unknown. With Wang Erni's encouragement, Li Fei began to study hard and gradually became familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry. He began to be able to handle Wang Erni's business activities independently, and no longer caused her trouble.
Wang Erni told the world in her own way that love is not a transaction, but a partnership that supports each other. Through her story, we can see that success is not only the peak of a career, but also the richness and happiness of a personal life. She may not be the brightest star in the eyes of the public, but in the eyes of those who know her story, she is worthy of respect and learning.
In the emotional journey, Wang Erni and Li Fei have experienced countless trials together, but they know that nothing is more important than the emotions between each other. After getting married, the two chose to return to the countryside, and only there did Wang Erni feel truly peaceful. Even after becoming famous, she still maintained her original intention and never lost it. She did not forget her filial piety to her parents and bought them a house of about 130 square meters in Yulin City, but considering that her parents were not suitable for urban life, she built a three-story villa for them in her hometown, so that her parents who had worked hard all their lives could enjoy their old age in peace.
Soon after marriage, Wang Erni ushered in the birth of a new life, the family became more complete because of the arrival of her son, for the balance of family and work, she and Li Fei decided to move from Shaanxi to Beijing Although in Beijing, they do not have their own real estate, and have been renting a house to live in this regard, some people questioned her decision to buy a house for her parents first, but Wang Erni believes that she is still young, you can wait to buy a house, and the comfortable life of her parents is more urgent In fact, she originally had the ability to buy real estate in the early days of fame, but she was conservative because she did not want to spend excessively, She has a simple concept of money, and most of the money she earns is saved, and she has not invested in various investments.
However, when she reconsidered buying a home, she found that housing prices in Beijing were no longer affordable for her.
In 03, various rumors about Wang Erni continued, including her living in a luxury residence and her marriage to Ah Bao or Zhu Zhiwen, but she did not respond positively to these rumors. In the face of these, Wang Erni dealt with it with humor, showing that she had nothing to do with these rumors. Despite this, she did not forget to care for her parents, used her savings to buy a house for them in the city, and was equally considerate to Li Fei's parents, seizing every opportunity to take them on a trip and enjoy family time.
When Wang Erni was ill, her mother-in-law personally traveled a long way to Beijing to take care of her. Wang Erni was worried about infecting her elderly mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law insisted on staying, taking care of her with motherly care and carefully preparing meals for her. Such a mother-in-law is enviable. Between them, there has never been a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the traditional sense, and Li Fei is also a considerate husband who often surprises her, although Wang Erni doesn't attach much importance to these. For her, the subtle care of her husband in her daily life is more precious than any gift.
Li Fei was once addicted to a luxurious life, but under the influence of Wang Erni, he gradually realized that the real life does not lie in material possession, but in the ordinary time spent with relatives. Now they know how to cherish the simple and extraordinary happy life.
Whenever Wang Erni and Wang Xiaoni step back to their hometown, they dilute the prosperous signs of the city, abandon luxurious clothing and expensive transportation, but they can still communicate with the elders in the village freely, Wang Erni's deep roots and adherence to her original intention show her quality of not losing herself Since 2017, she has helped 70 students under the poverty line, and interpreted the belief that "education changes destiny" with practical actions.
Wang Erni once affectionately shared: "I have also experienced the hardships of life, and now I have some ability, I should help those who once selves, so that those children who dropped out of school due to poverty return to school My academic road has been bumpy due to financial difficulties, and my parents are running around just to raise tuition fees, and now, I am willing to take on this responsibility to ensure that the children's education road is no longer interrupted by poverty" Her song "I am from northern Shaanxi" is an expression of emotion, and her attachment to her hometown in the lyrics is overflowing, The land that nurtured her and her ancestors, as well as the colorful and vibrant Shandandan, have become her immortal songs.
Her music is an extension of her emotions, through the song "I am from northern Shaanxi", she showed the world the beauty of northern Shaanxi, she hopes that the folk songs of northern Shaanxi can be passed down from generation to generation, which is not only a recognition of her own musical path, but also the inheritance of her hometown culture Fame is not to stay away from her homeland, but to remember to give back to the land that nourished herself, many people will lose themselves in the face of fame and fortune, ignoring family affection, but Wang Erni is different, she is not only in a high position but still indifferent to fame and fortune, but also often assists her younger brothers and sisters, Especially for Wang Xiaoni, who also loves music, she is not only a sister, but also a role model and mentor, although Wang Erni ranks second in the family, but she bears the expectations and tomorrow of the whole family.
Wang Xiaoni said with deep feelings: "My sister is strict with me, but I understand her hard work, she is the backer of our family. Wang Erni used her actions to interpret the truth that "the height is not cold, if you want people not to forget, you must not forget your roots". Even when her career was in full swing, she never forgot her roots, and for the sake of her family and fellow villagers, she was willing to give up her higher income and choose to give back to the society and devote herself to charity. This is exactly what she has a deep understanding of "hard work" and "fame".
