Xu Xiaofeng, a well-deserved palace-level singer.
Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau both knelt down for her in public.
The Spring Festival Gala also made an exception for her.
And she is also the only female singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan who can match Teresa Teng.
If Teresa Teng is the "best in the world", then she is the "best in the world".
He gave up marriage in order to keep his nationality, and now he is 74 years old and has no children and no daughters.
How good is Xu Xiaofeng?
01
In 1949, the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Xiaofeng was born in Wuhan, Hubei.
When she was two years old, her family moved to Hong Kong, China.
As there are five younger siblings in the family to take care of.
Xu Xiaofeng dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school to help her parents take care of their business and take care of the family at home.
Singing became the only way to express her feelings.
Unexpectedly, God quietly opened a "window" for her at this time.
When she was 17 years old, she accompanied two friends to sign up for the "Hong Kong Warbler" singing competition.
She used her personal experience to prove what it means to "unintentionally insert willows into the willows".
Since then, the gears of fate have begun to turn.
The two friends who came to participate in the competition were not selected.
But Xu Xiaofeng fought his way out of the encirclement like a "dark horse".
All the way to the finals, she won the championship with a song "Fire of Love".
She is also affectionately called "Little White Light" by the audience.
After that, she came up with the idea of developing into the music world.
After winning the championship, she informed her parents of the idea.
Who thought about it, but was fiercely opposed by his parents.
After all, being a singer in those days was not a glorious thing.
Under Xu Xiaofeng's strong insistence, his parents finally nodded.
But the reality poured cold water on Xu Xiaofeng.
No background, no resources to enter the entertainment industry.
Xu Xiaofeng started from the bottom.
She plans to start with a nightclub residency.
Step by step towards your goal.
It's always nice to imagine.
Xu Xiaofeng's "bean paste voice" was "incompatible" with the sweet and greasy voice popular in Hong Kong at that time.
I applied for a number of nightclubs, but I was rejected one after another.
But Xu Xiaofeng didn't want to give up easily.
Fortunately, the last nightclub broke the "tradition" and decided to try her out for a while.
Now, the day of her emergence has finally come.
02
Xu Xiaofeng, who became more and more popular as she sang, became the most valuable female singer in Hong Kong.
With the opening of popularity, more and more businesses came to her to perform.
Sometimes I have to run 13 races a day when I'm busy.
But the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts.
It's gold that always shines.
During one of her performances, a record label deemed her "malleable".
released her first album to Xu Xiaofeng.
In 1978, her singing "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" swept Hong Kong once it was released.
Xu Xiaofeng can also be regarded as one of the "originators" of Cantonese songs.
Since then, she has officially stepped into the music scene with one foot.
The most popular thing on this album is the song "Selling Rice Balls".
This song is popular all over the country, and it also witnesses the change of Xu Xiaofeng's singing style.
After that, she released songs such as "Ask the Stars" and "The Season of the Wind".
This also directly established her palace-level position in the Chinese music scene.
In 89, CCTV Spring Festival Gala extended an "olive branch" to Xu Xiaofeng.
But at that time, she was holding a concert in Hong Kong, and the two times collided.
Even if CCTV offered to charter a luxury car to pick her up and go back and forth, she was still weak.
But CCTV Spring Festival Gala really doesn't want to miss such a "good voice".
So, for the first time, he made an exception for Xu Xiaofeng.
Xu Xiaofeng, who couldn't go to the scene because of the concert, got a different treatment.
She recorded the two songs "Bright Moon Thousands of Miles to Send Acacia" and "Heart Love" in advance.
The Spring Festival Gala played the video she recorded in advance.
As soon as her voice appeared, it immediately poured the hearts of countless audiences.
Compared with the audience, there are two "big guys" who are even crazier.

At Xu Xiaofeng's concert in 1987, Chow Yun-fat was invited to appear as a guest.
And as soon as Fa Ge came up, he directly made a move that made people break through the glasses.
He actually bowed directly to Xu Xiaofeng.
Coincidentally, Andy Lau, who was invited in 14 years, also knelt down to her excitedly.
The two king-level figures both knelt down to her, which shows Xu Xiaofeng's influence in the music world.
Compared with the dominance in the music world, her love life has always been little known.
In the public's impression, she seems to have always been single.
But later, when the media broke the news, it turned out that she had a husband.
This person is a Chinese named Liao Hui.
Under his pursuit, he finally won the beauty.
And Xu Xiaofeng takes this relationship very seriously.
Work and relationship are equally important to her.
With their joint efforts, they have spent 7 years of long-distance love running hand in hand.
Finally decide to move on to the next stage of your life.
But it didn't take long for fans here to be happy for Xu Xiaofeng, who had found happiness.
Over there, Xu Xiaofeng announced her divorce in the same year she got married.
And after learning the reason for the divorce, fans are even more proud of her.
It turned out that her ex-husband asked Xu Xiaofeng to give up her Chinese nationality, and the two went to the United States to settle together.
But Xu Xiaofeng, who has deep love for the motherland, did not hesitate to refuse his request.
In the end, she chose the latter between love and her homeland.
Today's Xu Xiaofeng is past his prime, but he is still single.
I hope that she will be safe and smooth for the rest of her life.
Summary:
Now 74-year-old Xu Xiaofeng rarely appears in the public's sight again.
But even the time that belonged to her has passed.
Even her songs no longer make it to the streets.
But Xu Xiaofeng still created her own unique life.
She will always be a classic that will never fade away.
Life goes on, and her singing, along with herself, becomes something of a legend.
