China's entertainment industry can be said to have always been chaotic and mixed. It cannot be denied that the entertainment industry does not lack actors with real strength or talented singers, such as Jackie Chan, Liu Huan and others. But more are the "vase" stars who are sensational and eye-catching.
And do you know that in the 1970s, there was such an actress in China, who was once a well-known "national goddess", but eventually changed to American nationality, denigrated China and then tried to return to the motherland to circle money. When such a heinous act was committed, the chinese people's evaluation of it was naturally mixed. Today we will review this former "national goddess"!
First, from unknown to household name:
Zheng Xulan, female, was born on July 20, 1958 to a military family in Beijing, the capital of China. She graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music and has a strong artistic cell since she was a child. At the age of 19, he traveled to Thailand, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries to experience local customs and learn the folk music forms of Southeast Asia.
In 1987, at the age of 28, she was named one of the top ten "most popular" female singers by CCTV at the time. She was the original singer of the famous movie "Shaolin Temple" episode "Shepherd Song", and sang "Shepherd Song", "Sun Island" and the popular folk song "The Sea Ah Hometown" on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1983.
At that time, the phrase "The sea, hometown ~" was almost a well-known song. In 1989, Zheng Xulan's hit song "Sun Island" won the first Golden Disc Award issued by China Record Corporation. In the 1980s, people were familiar with "Flowers of the Orient" and zheng Xulan sang it. In 1996, she attended the "Harbin Summer" concert, and in this year she recorded the single "Poor Parents' Hearts" for the TV series "Mulan".
In 2000 she gave her first solo concert at Victoria Concert Hall, a musical mecca in Singapore, ----. This can be said to be the ultimate ideal of many singers. In 2009, he participated in the "New Year's Concert" held in the Great Hall of the People. In fact, these achievements listed by the editor are only the tip of the iceberg, and the more prominent ones in Zheng Xulan's many auras are only. Its true accolades go far beyond that!
So why, such a generation of talented women and "national goddesses" who are sought after by a large number of people and loved will eventually fall off the altar and be opposed and resisted by a large number of Chinese people?
Second, once low-key and humble and pitiful:
In the early days of Zheng Xulan's fame, she was humble and down-to-earth. Loyal to the music industry, never blinded by the many halos and the pursuit of a large number of fans. After becoming famous, he did not choose to circle money and gold like many artists, and cooperated with capital to receive advertising. Instead, continue to choose to study abroad, to truly feel life, to extract inspiration in life, and to feel music. If you think of this, Zheng Xulan is indeed much better than other people in the entertainment industry who have made the latest money to win the favor, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that she can gain a large number of fans with her dedicated personality, sweet singing voice and amazing talent.
In her music career, there was also such a thing, that is, she went to the hospital for surgery because of a bowel disease, but suffered an unfortunate medical accident. Her good intestines were removed, but the diseased intestines remained in the body. During that time, she relied on painkillers almost every day and endured great suffering.
However, she was interviewed by the media afterwards and asked about the experience, but she refused to disclose the information of the hospital she sought, and said that she would not pursue the hospital's legal responsibility. Such a kind character is also heartache by fans. As of this point, everything about her seems to be less than the same as the denigration of the country mentioned in the title, which makes us wonder even more, what happened to finally change her?
Abandonment of nationality because of marital problems:
When she was already famous, she met a man who changed the trajectory of her life---- Edward. Yes, looking at the name, you should also see that this is an American. At that time, after Edward met Zheng Xulan, the connection between the two became increasingly close. Whenever Zheng Xulan took the stage to hold a concert, Edward always bought the most luxurious position and brought his rich friends to the scene. And in the process of interacting with Zheng Xulan, he was also not stingy at all, and the two quickly fell in love.
In 1987, Zheng Xulan did not hesitate to give up the "great rivers and mountains" he laid in the domestic entertainment circle because of love, gave up his career, left the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and went to the United States with his lover Edward to enter the palace of marriage, of course, it may also be the grave of marriage... Before going abroad, Zheng Xulan had already left the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. But in that era, the procedures for going abroad were very complicated and needed to go through layers of review, and after leaving the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, she had no income and thought of holding some performances in the name of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe to win money.
After being known to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, it was quickly banned, so that it lost the opportunity to sing on stage. But she didn't care, maybe she was already full of beautiful visions of married life at that time. At that time, U.S. policy was to allow one's nationality to be changed through marriage.
Zheng Xulan changed to American citizenship without much consideration. But the oath of oath to get a U.S. green card includes the words "I would like to be loyal to the United States as soon as I take effect." This act is contrary to the ideas of his father, who was a former soldier. But out of respect for his daughter, her father also chose to support his daughter.
Making such a choice also made Zheng Xulan quickly lose a lot of influence and fans in China. Many fans began to boycott Zheng Xulan because he broke away from the Chinese nationality. But there are also some who continue to choose to wait and see with a glimmer of expectation for her.
In the early days of marriage, Zheng Xulan really tasted the sweetness and romance brought by marriage. But as time went on, Zheng Xulan found that the different female consciousness in the United States and China was that she felt deeply constrained. Because she lives in the United States, she did not receive a comeback on the same platform in China, so she became a housewife. In the history of the United States, women's rights have been extremely weak.
In an interview with the local media, Edward once openly said in front of the media that "China is a backward country" and such insulting remarks as "China is a backward country". And Zheng Xulan did not speak out at that time, but chose to acquiesce. Perhaps because of this incident, the domestic masses who still had a little expectation of Zheng Xulan were completely chilled and began to boycott some of Zheng Xulan's works.
Being in such a life is also something that Zheng Xulan did not expect before marriage. She gradually began to realize that she was wrong, very wrong. She began to miss the years when she was carefree at home and could sing on stage, but it was too late. Because she was not familiar with the United States and had communication barriers, she did not find a suitable job. The savings accumulated in the early years were also quickly squandered by the husband and the family's expenses.
It was at this time that she and her husband proposed that she wanted to return to China, but Edward did not support her idea. The two had a big fight over this, this matter is like a fuse, since this incident, the contradictions between the two have increased day by day, and the family is also at odds. It was in this situation that her husband Edward transferred his affection and fell out of love, and the two could only part ways and finally choose to divorce.
Zheng Xulan was born into a military family and was born and raised in Beijing. Her achievements are inseparable from the cultivation and education of the motherland, and perhaps even more indignant than her departure from Chinese nationality and her american citizenship, fans are more angry that she acquiesced to her husband's insult to her motherland.
Fourth, returning to China again is already a thing or a person:
Just after divorcing her husband, Zheng Xulan was also able to return to China and return to the cradle where she once raised herself. In the days of living in the United States, she originally thought that she could return to the embrace of her motherland at any time and still be able to continue her former glory and perform on stage as she wished. But reality poured her a basin of cold water. As we all know, our nationality is the most difficult nationality in the world to obtain! An ID card for a Chinese citizen does represent a lot.
It's easy to leave your home country's nationality, but when you find out that the outside world is not as good as you thought, it's hard to come back! When he wanted to become a Chinese citizen again, Zheng Xulan found that he could not successfully obtain Chinese citizenship. In the period after the divorce, Zheng Xulan's physical condition also took a sharp turn for the worse because of the surgical incident described above. This made her original plan to continue to return to her old home to ---- the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe to carry out private concerts, which was also postponed indefinitely.
Although she returned to China as the former "national goddess" during this time, after so many things, her reputation has long since ceased to be the same. Few people in China still remember her, and even if they do, most of them are in the procession to resist her comeback in China again.
After she returned to China, she also chose to remarry. Unfortunately, the new husband also died in 2005. After two emotional setbacks, Zheng Xulan no longer has a vision for his feelings, but only wants to make a comeback. He has also publicly stated that he will make a comeback in 2010.
But this time it caused dissatisfaction among the majority of netizens, after her deeds were quickly fleshed out by the majority of netizens on the Internet. There are also a lot of voices of doubt and resistance on the Internet. Some people say that "since I chose to leave my Chinese nationality, it is so easy to come back", and some people say that Zheng Xulan can't stay in the United States anymore, and then they think of Chinese fans and want to continue to use fan circles to make money. However, Zheng Xulan himself did not reply to these remarks on the Internet.
But I have to say that Zheng Xulan's original beautiful image has indeed gained a batch of loyal iron fans, although these people quickly depowdered after Zheng Xulan went to the United States to disappear in China, but now she is willing to believe her again after she returns. It is also with the support of these masses that Zheng Xulan was invited by several major TV stations to appear on the stage of several variety shows in 2011. In 2012, a successful concert was held at the Shanghai Art Center.
summary:
For Zheng Xulan's behavior is still mixed on the Internet, some people strongly believe that she forgot the country when she flew yellow Tengda, fell down and wanted to return to the country to make a comeback, and expressed contempt for this. But there are also people who are willing to believe that Zheng Xulan is something difficult to say at the beginning, and he is not betraying the motherland from the bottom of his heart, so he is willing to support it. So, seeing you in front of the screen here, what do you say about Zheng Xulan?
