43 years ago, the appearance of a song "Night at the Military Port" directly made Su Xiaoming, who was only 23 years old, popular overnight and became one of the most popular female singers in the 80s.
And 43 years later, Su Xiaoming, everything has already changed "appearance", and there is only one song "Night in the Military Port" left in the music scene at that time, but Su Xiaoming is never seen again.
It turned out that Su Xiaoming, who was still a Chinese soldier, went to France at his peak, and finally gave up his Chinese nationality and became a Frenchman.
Because she insisted on going to France, her marriage with her first husband broke down, but because of the failed marriage, her ex-husband was always in pain and couldn't get out.
After living in France for 10 years, she returned to China to become an actress, and also brought her second French husband and mixed-race daughter.
Some people are happy for her return, after all, this is the goddess of the year, but some people denounce her for joining the nationality of another country after becoming famous, and in the end she came to China to film and make money!
But is that really the case? Why did she have to go to France at the height of her life, and what happened to her ex-husband?
1. Born superior, but becoming famous at a young age is questioned
Su Xiaoming was born in the late 50s of the 20th century, and her family background is very advantageous even now.
His father was a literary and artistic worker in the army, had experienced various wars, and was the first head of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.
His mother was also a member of the revolutionary ranks, joined the army at the age of 16, and served as the deputy political commissar of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and his father and mother also became acquainted with each other.
She has 4 older sisters, all of whom follow their mother's surname, but none of the children are Chinese nationals, and all of them have become foreign nationals.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the special environment at that time, when Su Xiaoming's parents were sent down and treated unfairly, so the children's studies were all delayed.
Su Xiaoming has lived in the military compound in Beijing since he was a child, and inherited the excellent genes of his parents when he was a child, and has a great interest in art performance.
She has been playing the piano since she was a child, and her voice is also very unique, so she is a very popular girl in the compound.
Before the age of 18, she had applied for many local art troupes in Beijing many times, but because of her parents at the time, even if she performed very well, no art troupe was willing to admit her.
It wasn't until 1975 that her parents returned to their normal status, so at the age of 18 she successfully entered the army and became a literary soldier.
After entering the army, she not only stepped up her practice Xi her singing skills, but also learned the fine style of a soldier who endures hardships and stands hard work.
But for the most part, she doesn't work as a soloist, and there aren't many opportunities to show herself.
It just so happened that in the 70s, some popular songs in the port area became popular, and Su Xiaoming wanted to use this as an entrance to create his own world.
But she did not completely give up the singing of military songs, but thought about how to combine the two to make military songs more delicate.
Although she was not noticed in the group at the time, at the age of 23, her opportunity still came.
In 1980, shortly after the resumption of the "Beijing Evening News", a "Rising Star Concert" event was held, and the leaders of the troupe recommended Su Xiaoming to participate.
With the support of the group, Ma Jinxing began to write a suitable song for Su Xiaoming, and then Liu Shizhao began to compose the music.
After learning about Su Xiaoming's love for popular songs, Liu Shizhao used the combination of southern Fujian fishing songs and sailors to compose the song "Night of the Military Port".
Without a single audition, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1980, Su Xiaoming sang the song "Night of the Military Port" with his unique voice at the Capital Gymnasium.
This song made Su Xiaoming popular that night, and it also influenced generations of people later.
Although this song was loved by the masses, in that somewhat sensitive era, this song was also questioned a lot.
Because this song seems to be too tender compared with the previous military songs, Su Xiaoming was also charged with "disrespecting military songs".
In the end, it was General Ye Fei, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, who said: "As long as you sing a song that is loved by soldiers and loved by the people, you can sing it boldly!"
It was the general's support that finally Su Xiaoming escaped this catastrophe and became a popular singer at that time, opening his own era.
After a few years of development in the mainland, coupled with the "going abroad fever" of that year, even though she was at the peak of her career at that time, she still chose a decision that was enough to change her life - to study abroad!
2, went to France at his peak, and divorced his ex-husband after becoming popular
The reason why this is a life-changing decision is not only that she later chose to become a French citizen, but more importantly, because she went abroad, she also chose to part ways with her first husband.
In fact, in the 80s of the 20th century, Su Xiaoming can really be said to be a mess, and when her career was developing well, she had already met a talented man who was very compatible with her - Chen Xiaowei.
Chen Xiaowei was also a member of the song and dance troupe she was in at that time, and she was also a native of Beijing.
Before Su Xiaoming became famous overnight, the two started a family in the spring of that year, although the accommodation conditions at that time were not good, but the two lived happily.
After getting married, Su Xiaoming rarely cooks, most of them are Chen Xiaowei's cooking after work, while Su Xiaoming often gathers with his good friends Song Dandan, Zhao Baogang and others.
When Su Xiaoming's mother was sick, Chen Xiaowei, the son-in-law, went to the hospital more times than his daughter.
But since Su Xiaoming became popular, there has been a gap between the two unconsciously, but it is not that Su Xiaoming likes the new and hates the old, but the gossip of outsiders has increased.
Many people began to think that Chen Xiaowei was not worthy of Su Xiaoming, but no one knew how much Chen Xiaowei had paid for Su Xiaoming.
In addition, Su Xiaoming would always go to perform in other places after he became popular, so the two would often be separated, and the communication at that time was not convenient, so they slowly became strangers.
But these are not the real reasons why the two decided to separate, Su Xiaoming's firm choice to go abroad was the ultimate fuse.
Su Xiaoming didn't think about separating from her husband at first, she wanted the two to go abroad together, but Chen Xiaowei didn't agree with her idea.
Neither of the two chose to give in, and finally in the spring of 1985, the two ended their 5-year marriage, and then, Su Xiaoming went to France alone, leaving Chen Xiaowei immersed in pain.
In fact, there is another reason why Su Xiaoming chose to go to France, that is, his two sisters are in France and can take care of each other.
At first, not only Chen Xiaowei disagreed, but the song and dance troupe also did not let go, but under Su Xiaoming's repeated requests, the then chief still agreed to her change of career.
After coming to France, she first went to her sister, then began to find a school to learn Xi language, and in order to make ends meet, she also started a small business there, but the good times did not last long, and the business did not go well.
But fortunately, in December of that year, she was successfully admitted to the local Higher Conservatory of Music and started her musical journey.
Even in a foreign country, Su Xiaoming's talent is also noticed, and he often records Chinese songs to sell to support his studies.
When she graduated, the school also held a solo concert for her, and she thought that Su Xiaoming would return to China after completing her studies, but the appearance of a man completely left her there.
3. Meet a French husband, start a family and renounce Chinese nationality
This man is the French man Eric, he is a fan of Su Xiaoming, and he pays attention to her all the time.
Although Eric is a talented financial professional, he is also very talented in cooking, and as a Frenchman, romance is like a talent.
Under his fierce pursuit, Su Xiaoming also fell in, and also brought his sister to meet Eric.
So after divorcing Chen Xiaowei for 5 years, she entered into marriage again, and chose to become French like her husband.
After marriage, the two gave birth to a mixed-race daughter, who is also of French nationality.
Su Xiaoming's daughter
But this does not mean that Su Xiaoming has forgotten where her homeland is, and she often sings Chinese songs in France to promote Chinese culture.
She has rarely returned to China since she left in 1985, but 10 years later, Su Xiaoming has returned......
4. Return to China for development and become an actor
After 10 years of separation, China's music scene has long changed wave after wave, and the name Su Xiaoming has long been less brilliant.
When he first returned to China, only his friends knew, and Su Xiaoming didn't know what he should do next.
Under the recommendation of her friend Jiang Wen, she became an actress, and in the year she returned to China, she also participated in CCTV's variety show.
However, the audience was very puzzled to know that she returned to China after becoming a French citizen, and some people said that she couldn't stay abroad and finally returned to China.
But that's not the case.
The reason why she chose to return to China was because she thought that her other sisters were not with her parents, and she wanted to come back to fulfill her filial piety, and it happened that her husband was also sent to work in China at that time.
In this way, she returned home with her French husband and daughter.
That year, Su Xiaoming was 38 years old, and even if she switched to the film and television field, she could only take on some roles that were slightly older, and she was still a supporting role.
But her performance in film and television dramas has impressed many audiences, and a person who has never learned Xi acting is very natural.
For example, "Lei Mu" in the TV series "Dajiang Dahe", "Wang's" in "Da Song Gong Ci", etc.
It can be said that Su Xiaoming is currently living a very happy life, but what happened to her ex-husband?
It turned out that after Su Xiaoming came back, Chen Xiaowei was saddened to learn that she was married, and finally chose to go to the United States to live, but later he also found a new person in the United States, got married and had children.
Until this year, the two have been divorced for 38 years, and now both of them are over sixty years old, and they have found their own happiness, which may be the best ending for the two!
Write at the end
From a smash hit singer to an actor who became a monk halfway, Su Xiaoming returned to the Chinese public with a new look.
But in fact, the audience's doubts about her have never stopped, and all kinds of black material will be exposed from time to time, but Su Xiaoming has always kept a low profile.
But no matter how many doubts are received, the song "Night of the Military Port" has become a classic among the classics!
