In a flash, the years pass like a horse.
Zhou Huajian, who grew up with a generation, is 63 years old.
A recent photo of him and his wife, Kang Cuilan, was posted on the Internet. I never thought that it would trigger a round of physiognomy attacks.
"Too unworthy. ”
"Is this his wife?
"Zhou Huajian and Kang Cuilan don't look like husband and wife, like mother and son. ”
In the photo, Kang Cuilan has gray hair and wrinkles all over her face.
It really doesn't look young anymore.
A male celebrity's wife is not good-looking and old, even if there is no fault, it is easy to be attacked by a group.
Over the years, she has been despised.
Attacked by fans.
Ridiculed by the media.
Some people say that they are a family, like three generations in the same house.
said that she was like an old witch, dominating the king.
But who knows, Zhou Huajian and Kang Cuilan are the same age.
The two met at a young age.
Married for decades.
In the past few decades, she has done everything she can, silently accomplished, and has never made any mistakes.
And Zhou Huajian owes his wife a lot.

Zhou Huajian and Kang Cuilan met in 1995.
At that time, he was unknown and was just a small assistant to Rolling Stone Records. In order to make a living, I occasionally go to the folk song restaurant to sing.
The restaurant is crowded with people, impetuous and noisy.
But at some point, a girl came to the restaurant. She's Contrian.
She listened quietly to him singing. After listening, I come often.
Sometimes it's a person.
Sometimes with a group of people.
Slowly, Zhou Huajian also discovered her.
About the second week, Kang Cuilan came back, and Zhou Huajian deliberately sang very emotionally and attentively.
After another month, Zhou Huajian walked up to Kang Cuilan and said very angrily:
"I'll take you home on my motorcycle. ”
"Good. ”
A love affair begins here.

But at this time, Zhou Huajian was not serious about feelings.
With an uncertain future and no one to live on, he felt unable to take responsibility.
So I only want to flirt, but I don't want to love.
Contrian was warm and direct. She is of mixed race, received a Western-style education since she was a child, and when she expresses her love, she is free and bold.
"You don't care about other people...... You will succeed. ”
"Your singing voice is the best. ”
She comforted Zhou Huajian.
At this time, Zhou Huajian was at a low point, struggling to move forward, and needed encouragement and support too much.
Contrian is undoubtedly this person.
So, he tried to be with her.
But the realistic gap still defeated Zhou Huajian.
Born well-to-earth, Kang holds a double degree in Spain and art, and also works for a large company in Taiwan.
The conditions are much better than Zhou Huajian in all aspects.
For this relationship, Kang Cuilan has made a lot of efforts.
For example, after the two live together, the man has no money.
Rent, utilities, furniture, and living expenses are all expenses of Contrian.
For another example, there are no flowers or gifts for the New Year.
He only had to sing a song and she would be satisfied.
Half a year later, the two got married in a hurry.
There is no such thing as a proclamation.
Even the night before the wedding, Zhou Huajian was still singing in the restaurant.
It wasn't until the end of the singing that he remembered that he was getting married tomorrow.
He ran to ask the manager for leave.
The manager didn't believe it at all, just a joke.
Zhou Huajian went to the clothing store downstairs and bought a pair of suit pants casually, and matched it with his jacket, which was regarded as a wedding dress.
And Kang Cuilan's wedding dress was borrowed.
And the ring is also fake, let's make up the number.
Even with such a sloppy and perfunctory attitude, Kang Cuilan was still pleased.
"In my life, I will marry a poor boy who can sing. ”
At that time, someone asked Zhou Huajian: How many points do you score for this relationship?
He said, "70 points. ”
康粹兰却说：“100分！”
Many years later, whenever he mentions this, Zhou Huajian will wonder:
"100 points is a perfect score, and I don't know why she said that......"
And Contrian told him with his actions: because of love.

After getting married, Kang Cuilan still tried her best to take care of her lover.
At that time, the biggest problem in front of them was poverty.
Before marriage, they rented a house.
After marriage, you can only rent a house.
There was no furniture in the house, and the newlywed two people slept on the floor all the time.
In order to save money, they eat extremely cheap food every day.
Later, Zhou Huajian took this as inspiration and created "The Happiness of Enduring Hardships Together".
Kang Cuilan didn't complain.
When the outside world ridiculed Zhou Huajian as a "soft rice man", Kang Cuilan said: "It's okay, I like him like this." ”
She comforted Zhou Huajian, who had been unsuccessful for many years, "You can create by yourself, record samples, and see if there is a chance." ”
After a little bit of her dialing, Zhou Huajian's life was different.
After Qi Yu heard Zhou Huajian's sample, he strongly recommended it to the advertising song producer.
After that, he was seen by more bigwigs in the music industry.
Some people signed a contract, some people supported him, and soon, he published his first solo album "The Direction of the Heart".
For a time, Zhou Huajian's singing voice resounded throughout Taiwan.
He took advantage of the victory and chased after it again, and released "Let Me Rejoice and Let Me Worry" again.
The sales volume exceeded 2 million, catching up with the four heavenly kings.
He was born out of nowhere.
At an incredible speed, shine in the music world.
The media commented on him: a superstar.
Fans commented on him: Prince of Love Songs.
He was able to become popular in an all-round way, with performances, advertising endorsements, and commercial performances one after another.
In 1996, he held 19 concerts in a row.
The scene was full of people.
Be booked up.
But as his career exploded, the marriage came to an impasse.

Many times, Kang Cuilan called Zhou Huajian, and Zhou Huajian was very impatient.
He said that home is a burden.
I'd rather drift out than go back.
Occasionally, at home, Kang asked him to help with some household chores, but he was so angry that he refused to move.
Kang Cuilan said: "You think you are a singer, so you don't have to mop the floor." ”
Zhou Huajian retorted:
"What a singer, I'm a superstar, a superstar!"
He was so aggressive that he wanted to smash the TV and the table.
Kang Cuilan had no choice but to leave in silence, hiding in the corner and crying alone.
In order to save the marriage, Contrian gave birth to a son.
Zhou Huajian still doesn't want to stay at home longer, he flies all over the world.
In his eyes, the wife of the chaff has become a burden and a burden.
Once, Zhou Huajian won an award.
Without telling Kang Cuilan, he went to Singapore.
After getting the trophy, Zhou Huajian called Kang Cuilan on a whim:
"This championship is mine, jackpot, jackpot. ”
"You really jackpot, your son broke his head this afternoon and was taken to the hospital for six stitches. ”
Kang Cuilan's words were like a basin of cold water, poured on his heart.
Something happened to his son, but he wasn't around, and he didn't even know anything.
He felt unwell.
But only after a short period of guilt, Zhou Huajian appeared on the stage again and sang wantonly.
Congratulations from 10,000 people.
Within a few years, Kang Cuilan became pregnant again and was about to give birth.
Zhou Huajian is going to Hong Kong to receive the award again.
She hopes that her husband can be by her side, accompany her, and witness the birth of her child.
Zhou Huajian was impatient:
"You go and ask the doctor, can you come to Hong Kong, I'll wait for you in Hong Kong. ”
Kang Cuilan actually bought a ticket from Taipei to Hong Kong the next day.
But something happened.
She had a fetal gas due to a flight, and the baby was born prematurely.
His wife's life hung by a thread, which made Zhou Huajian afraid.
He went home to see his wife.
This time, Kang Cuilan was not surprised, but just said gloomily: "Divorce." ”
The word divorce woke up Zhou Huajian heavily.

He began to think, what did he really want?
The name has become popular.
profits, already hundreds of millions of net worth.
What does he want?
Contrian cried and said:
"Hua Jian, when I married you, I didn't expect you to have a car and a house. If you don't have it, you won't have it. I want you, I don't want money. ”
It turned out that all along, he was wrong.
He needs the stage.
But his home needs him.
Compared to being a superstar in a halo, his lover and children need only a husband, a father, and a family.
Behind the brilliance, there is also responsibility.
"So I should pay her back all the more, more severely, doubly. ”
Since then, he has devoted himself to his family.
He spends more time with his wife.
Even if there is a concert, he will introduce his wife to the fans.
"This is my wife. ”
"Shout-ta."
On weekdays, in the face of family trivialities, he is also more considerate and caring.
Once, Zhou Huajian asked Kang Cuilan to have dinner with a friend.
The two arrived at the hotel early.
As a result, I waited for a long time, but my friend didn't arrive.
Afterwards, a friend called, and Zhou Huajian learned that Kang Cuilan had made an appointment at the wrong time.
But he only joked lightly, "Everyone knows how bitter I am." ”
After the turn of the millennium, the music scene was reshuffled.
The popularity of RAP and R&B has made traditional love songs lose their hegemony.
Zhou Huajian was not spared.
Under the huge gap, he was depressed for a while.
Contrian was once again his back:
"Go home, recuperate, and start again. ”
He followed the advice and went back to real life.
It was also at this time that he truly realized the hardships of a woman.
The daily firewood, rice, oil and salt, the heavy childcare and work every day, the endless housework, and the heartbreaking troubles made him miserable.
He said that being able to do these things well is a big hero.
There is a line in "Amber": In pain, we are equal.
That's when he began to really see his wife.
I also saw my wife's hardships and illnesses.
Because of postpartum depression in her second child, her body has not recovered. She was quickly emaciated, old, and withered, and her whole person was more than ten years old.
Her photos have been exposed many times on the Internet.
She was getting worse and worse, and her temples were gray and skinny.
When the two are in the same frame, they are extremely incompatible.
Some fans called Kang Cuilan directly: "When are you going to get divorced?"
Zhou Huajian firmly embraced her into his arms.
He said to all:
"Staying together in the twilight years is our romance. ”
At that moment, I seemed to see the concrete appearance of suffering and growing old together.
At that moment, he was no longer a king, just an ordinary husband. There is responsibility and love.
Always remember that once the host asked him: What do you think is the most important thing to maintain such a long marriage?
"Both of them, from head to bottom, ...... It's a lifetime of mutual redemption. ”
Zhou Huajian's tone was normal.
But the eyes around him were hazy with tears.
