Wang Kun is not only a famous soprano singer in the mainland, but also the head of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
And the singers who were popular all over the country in the 80s of the 20th century, such as Yuanzheng, Cheng Lin, Zheng Xulan, etc., are all her disciples.
In particular, the expedition, known as "Little Wang Kun", was a dazzling new star of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
Her works such as "Driving the Spirit", "Little Cattle", and "Butterfly Spring" are all well-known songs.
However, this expedition, who is regarded by everyone as "Wang Kun's successor", ignored the dissuasion of his mentor at the peak of his career and insisted on marrying away to the United States.
even did not hesitate to bear the infamy of "making money at home and spending abroad".
Now that Expedition has been moving to the United States for more than thirty years, is her life okay?
Move to the United States and meet true love
In the 90s, China was in the midst of a boom in going abroad, when a record company in the United States sent an invitation to the expedition, and at this time, she had just ended a failed marriage, and wanted to leave this homeland with her son to develop abroad.
At that time, the expedition at the peak of his career took his son away from his homeland and embarked on a flight abroad to live in Portland, USA.
Although she received an invitation from a local record company, her career did not develop as smoothly as she imagined when she first arrived in the United States.
Because many of the local residents did not know him, the unknown expedition could only receive occasional invitations to performances, barely able to support himself and his son.
However, the expedition did not give up on returning to his hometown, but worked hard to learn Xi English here, and participated in as many performances as possible to make a name for himself.
In fact, at that time, many people went abroad due to the craze for going abroad, but the actual life was not as they imagined, but there were still many people who could only make a living by washing dishes in the back kitchen.
As she participated in more and more performances, she gradually gained some fame in the local area, and at this time she also met her second husband, a Chinese man.
At that time, just after the performance of the expedition, a man with an oriental face came over and presented her with a bouquet of flowers, and he spoke fluent Chinese, which made the expedition far from home feel very friendly.
Later, this Chinese man often sat under the stage to watch the performances of the expedition, and even after being a fan for many years, he could no longer hold back the feelings in his heart and launched a passionate pursuit of her.
Later, the expedition also gradually touched the sincere friendship of the other party in the relationship, and the two were together naturally, and after marriage, the man also loved her son as a parent.
After a few years of marriage, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and the expedition, which is nearly 40 years old, also gave birth to a daughter with her second husband at this time, and the family's life is getting better and better.
Even though she has been living in the United States for many years, she and her children will return to their hometown to visit their families almost every year when their lives are stable.
Moreover, as long as the son misses his father, the expedition will send the son back to his ex-husband for a reunion, so over the years, her son has never felt inferior because of the divorce of his parents, because he has felt double the father's love and he is also excellent when he grows up.
However, the matter of the expedition to the United States is still questioned by many fans, and some netizens even commented that she "earns money at home and spends it abroad".
In fact, when the expedition was thriving in her career, she chose to go abroad despite the opposition of her mentor, which also had a lot to do with her failed marriage to her first love.
Career success, emotional setback
It turned out that the expedition that was an instant hit in the "Rising Star Concert" entered the palace of marriage with his first love Fan Xiangbin two years after becoming famous.
Yuanzheng and Fan Xiangbin are not only lovers who accompany each other on campus, but also confidants who talk about each other's musical perceptions.
At that time, after graduating from the expedition, she successfully entered the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and her husband Fan Xiangbin was assigned to the Tianjin Dance Troupe to play erhu.
After getting married, her husband Fan Xiangbin also came to Beijing with his wife, and gave birth to their love crystallization the next year.
Moreover, the music industry of the expedition was thriving, and they performed in other places for almost a long time of the year, and the two rarely spent time together.
However, the young couple did not feel that distance was a problem, and her husband had been supporting her career behind her.
At that time, the two would call whenever they were free, and the sweet life could bridge the distance between each other, and Fan Xiangbin almost became an all-round "family cook" in order to reduce the pressure on his wife.
In order to make the life of her husband and son better, Yuanzheng also worked very hard to develop her music career, hoping to get more wages to improve the family life.
However, this sweet marriage did not last long, and at the beginning the two thought that "true love" could ignore everything in life, but in the end, the two still failed to achieve consummation.
In 1986, she won the national folk song "Golden Peacock Cup" and won the championship, and her music career also came to its peak.
In the following years, the expedition performed more and more throughout the country, and it was rare to return home to accompany her husband and son, and even because of the growing fame, everyone began to question the marriage of the two of them.
Many people think that Yuanzheng is already a smash hit star, but her husband is an inconspicuous erhu player, and then there are rumors that the two are not compatible.
Fan Xiangbin thought that he would not care about these remarks, but as everyone only had the impression of him with the title of "expeditionary husband", he was more and more hit, and the marriage between the two began to break out into endless quarrels.
The expedition's career is getting better and better, and her family is also in the deepening conflict, creating a rift that is difficult to ignore.
In the end, the two who were tired of this marriage decided to divorce peacefully, and the lovers who walked out of the campus still failed to accompany each other until they grew old.
If it weren't for this failed marriage, the first half of the expedition could be called the "proud daughter of the sky", which was enviable.
The "proud girl of the sky" who is smooth sailing
Expedition has had a "golden voice" since she was a child, and after her parents saw their daughter's love of singing, they began to vigorously cultivate Expedition's musical talent.
At that time, Wang Kun also returned to his long-lost job, and as the deputy leader of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, he received a task to select some outstanding seedlings for the troupe.
At that time, she was on an expedition to Xi at the Affiliated Middle School of Tianjin Conservatory of Music, and when she learned that the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe was going to open its doors to select students, she immediately ran over to sign up for the selection.
So, when she waited for the expedition for the exam, she was a little nervous when she first opened her voice, but it didn't take long for her to enter the state and she sang this "Ode to Coral" perfectly.
Wang Kun saw that the expedition at a young age was not only talented, but also able to quickly adapt to the surrounding environment without stage fright, which can be said to be a very outstanding good seedling.
Wang Kun, who cherishes talents, immediately decided on this talented girl, and even later taught him in person.
It didn't take long for Yuanzheng to gradually find a singing method suitable for herself under the cultivation of Wang Kun, and her hard work paid off, and she became an instant hit in the "Rising Star Concert" in 1980.
Since then, the works she sang on the stage, such as "Driving the Spirit", "Little Cattle", and "Butterfly Spring", have also become famous songs that everyone can hum a few words back then.
Therefore, in the 80s of the 20th century, the smash hit expedition was also known as "Little Wang Kun", and in a later interview, she also said: "Teacher Wang Kun's teaching has made me now loved by everyone."
In November 2014, Wang Kun, the former mentor of the expedition, passed away, and later the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe held a commemorative performance for her.
At that time, after the expedition learned the news, he rushed back to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe in Beijing as soon as possible, and remembered his teacher with a song "On the Field of Hope" on stage.
Although she later moved to the United States, she never forgot her hometown, and over the years she has been traveling for various charity activities and recording a large number of gospel hymns.
Last year, some netizens posted a photo of Yuanzheng and her old friend on social platforms, and it can be seen that her appearance in the photo has hardly changed, and the smile on her face still exudes the style of the past.
epilogue
At that time, Expedition was an eye-catching rookie in the music scene of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and the songs she sang on stage are still the best memories in the hearts of many people.
It has been more than 30 years since she moved to the United States, but she still has not lost what she loves, and she is still keen to participate in various charitable causes, using her singing voice to heal the pain.
Moreover, in addition to her development in her career in the United States, she has also found her own happiness in life, and now she has both children and a happy family!
