Ordinary rural girls write the answer sheet of life
In 1962, a little girl was born in an ordinary rural family called Zhangjiawobao near Shenyang, Liaoning Province, which is the starting point of Dong Wenhua's story. For a long time, Dong Wenhua does not seem to be a child with "special talents", she has two older brothers and sisters, and her parents have not particularly cultivated her interests and hobbies.
Because the family's economic conditions are average, the parents sent the eldest sister to the Children's Palace to learn to sing in order to increase the family income. Dong Wenhua is just a little girl who loves to play behind her sister.
However, the wonderful thing is that even if he did not Xi directly learn vocal music, the seeds of music had already sprouted gently in Dong Wenhua's heart. She often followed her sister to the Children's Palace and listened to her sister's singing, and her beautiful singing voice was like a catalyst, which made Dong Wenhua's passion for music grow day by day.
She began to practice Xi vocalization and singing by herself at home, for fear of affecting her family's rest, Dong Wenhua always got into the vat alone and practiced Xi hard, and the "buzzing" sound from the vat became a testimony of her diligent self-study.
When he was 15 years old, Dong Wenhua finally mustered up the courage and ran to apply for the enrollment of the art troupe. When she stood in front of the interviewer and sang "Socialism is Good", a red song was sung in a jerky but sincere way.
"Okay, I'll recruit you!" The interviewer decided to let the skinny teenage girl join them. As a result, Dong Wenhua became the youngest literary soldier in the troupe, and since then she has started her musical life.

In 1984, an opportunity changed Dong Wenhua's fate. This year, Liaoning TV held a large-scale singer Grand Prix, and Dong Wenhua stood out in the preliminary round and entered the finals with years of singing training.
On the night of the competition, the 10 contestants on the stage took turns to sing, and the song Dong Wenhua drew was actually "The Fifteenth Moon" specially given to her by the composer of the Art Troupe 3 years ago.
This is a rare opportunity for Dong Wenhua, she took a deep breath, and her expression became extremely focused and solemn. The moment the song came out of her mouth, the audience was silent.
Dong Wenhua used her unique voice to interpret this classic folk song composed by the teacher, sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes tactful and melodious, expressing a peasant girl's longing for her beloved waiting in the frontier.
Dong Wenhua's performance won the favor of all the judges present. In the end, the gold award belongs to her. What made Dong Wenhua even more excited was that in the same year, the Organizing Committee of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala invited her to appear on the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala! On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1985, at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the 23-year-old Dong Wenhua made her debut with her famous song "The Fifteenth Moon" and became famous in one fell swoop.

In 1999, a sudden extraordinarily large smuggling case dragged Dong Wenhua's originally prosperous career into the center of the storm. That year, Lai Changxing, chairman of Xiamen Yuanhua Group, was wanted on suspicion of economic violations, and his business in Xiamen was well known in politics, and several artists who had dealings with Yuanhua were involved.
Dong Wenhua has performed for the annual meeting of Yuanhua Group many times before, and he has been pushed to the forefront by public opinion all of a sudden. There are reports that her relationship with the chairman Lai Changxing is "unusual", and even uses an ugly word - "being adopted".
Dong Wenhua has been crying for days to clarify to the public that she is innocent, but the public has already looked at her differently. The announced TV programs that had been finalized were all canceled, the advertising endorsements that had been cooperated for many years were stopped, and even the performance of the New Year's Spring Festival Gala was ruthlessly abandoned.
This is undoubtedly Dong Wenhua's smash hit from the music scene to the lowest point that everyone spurns. Her singing can no longer evoke the empty alleys of the past. Dong Wenhua, who has always been high, is suffering from cold eyes and blank eyes at the moment.
Even though it was later proven that she had nothing to do with the case, the public's prejudice and suspicion could not be erased. This is undoubtedly the darkest period of Dong Wenhua's life, her career plummeted and her reputation was ruined.
Accompanied by her husband, she has survived the ups and downs of life
If Dong Wenhua can be brilliant in the music world, then the most important pillar in her life is her husband who has always been by her side - Zhang Nan. The love story between the two can be traced back to the era of the young and frivolous art troupe, Zhang Nan has had a crush on Dong Wenhua since he joined the troupe, and was rejected to confess at first, but later moved Dong Wenhua with his sincerity, and the two got married.
Zhang Nan gave up his career and devoted himself to assisting his wife Dong Wenhua to make further progress in her acting career. Every time Dong Wenhua successfully appeared on stage, every time he became the focus of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Nan took care of and took care of him with his heart behind him.
In 1999, when Dong Wenhua was attacked by public opinion, Zhang Nan felt even more sorry for the hardships suffered by his wife, and stayed by her side all day long, listening to her tell about the pain and helplessness caused by rumors.
Today, Dong Wenhua has gradually faded out of the showbiz, but her relationship with Zhang Nan has only become more and more stable with the years. Occasionally, they would attend the gatherings of some old artists, singing and chatting.
