A talented teenager has a bumpy entry into the industry
In 1947, a child named Jiang Dawei was born in a family of intellectuals in Tianjin. He has loved art since he was a child and dreams of becoming a painter when he grows up.
Hold a pen and doodle every day, and study diligently. Xi painting with my uncle for more than eight years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is talented.
However, when he was seventeen years old, Jiang Dawei failed to be admitted to the middle school attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and all his hopes were lost. He had already seen his future on the road of painting, and he was saddened.
At this time, by chance, Jiang Dawei was photographed by the Tianjin Song and Dance Troupe and discovered his singing voice.
At first, Jiang Dawei resisted continuing his studies, but with the encouragement of the artistic captain of the song and dance troupe, he still mustered up the courage to give it a try. Unexpectedly, his talent is amazing, and he won applause as soon as he opened his voice.
Although he is still haunted by the failure of the Academy of Fine Arts, Jiang Dawei still chooses to let his music dream continue.
At the peak of his career, he was carried away by "unstoppable".
At the age of 31, his masterpiece "Horse Galloping" made Jiang Dawei show his edge and became well-known in the industry. Two years later, his "Song of Peony" became famous in one fell swoop, completely establishing his status in the music world.
At the age of 37, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and became popular overnight, and his popularity increased greatly. At the age of 39, with the singing skills of the theme song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" of the TV series "Journey to the West", Jiang Dawei's singing career reached its peak.
Standing at the pinnacle of life, Jiang Dawei couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, feeling very proud of his achievements and "unbeatable". began to have more social occasions, went out on stage frequently, and cared for his family, especially his daughter, a lot less.
Gradually, Jiang Dawei, who has always put his family first, discovered the seriousness of the problem. His daughter has also grown up, and a good education has become a problem in front of him. A sense of self-blame for his dereliction of duty as a father arose, and Jiang Dawei fell into a painful struggle.
resolutely left to protect his daughter
In order to provide his daughter with a better Xi learning environment, in 2000, 53-year-old Jiang Dawei resolutely decided to immigrate to Canada with his family. He gave up his comfortable life and career as a singer in China, leaving behind everything he was familiar with, only for the sake of his daughter's educational future.
After arriving in Canada, Jiang Dawei and his wife lived a completely different life from before. Without the aura of a singer, their family is stretched thin, and their financial resources are almost zero.
In desperation, Jiang Dawei had to frequently return to China to participate in performances to earn money to support his family. At the beginning, many former colleagues ridiculed him, "Didn't you go to enjoy Qingfu, why did you come back to grab a job?"
This made Jiang Dawei very annoyed and angry for a while, and his wife comforted him on the side, so he calmed down and concentrated on making money.
In 2010, Jiang Dawei was embroiled in a "money owe scandal" that brought the 63-year-old artist to disrepute. Relatives and friends questioned it, and his wife and daughter couldn't believe it.
Under pressure, Jiang Dawei confronted the other party for five or six hours and was forced to write an IOU. In the end, with the police involved in the investigation, his innocence was confirmed. Despite his acquittal, he still cast a shadow on the public mind because of this incident.
The old and strong daughter will not forget
76-year-old Jiang Dawei could have enjoyed his retirement leisurely. Unexpectedly, his daughter fell in love in Canada and was ready to get married and have children, Jiang Dawei became anxious again.
He thought to himself that his daughter would live in her stephusband's house, and she couldn't help with her living needs, so she must suffer some grievances. So, Jiang Dawei, who was about to retire, once again called on his children to accompany him to return to China to perform, and earn more gifts and real estate for his daughter as a dowry.
Although his daughter politely persuaded her father to rest and stay at home, Jiang Dawei still went his own way. He followed a familiar route to various performances, from morning to night, and sometimes he was not in good health.
The wife and daughter saw it in their eyes, sighed that their father was very hard, and they had to let him go. Gradually, his daughter bought a warm and comfortable new house, and Jiang Dawei felt a little relieved.
He looked at his daughter's delicate face, and secretly swore in his heart that he would work hard in this life, just for the happiness and well-being of his children.
