Just on the last Spring Festival evening of the Year of the Dragon, "drama prodigy" Deng Minghe became popular overnight.
It was praised by Feng Gong and others as "promising".
However, just a few years later, Deng Minghe, who was only 8 years old, died of illness.
What's even more surprising is that many netizens think that his death is "inseparable" from his parents.
So, what was the truth? What did he go through?
The content of this article is stated from reliable sources, and it is repeated at the end of the article, but in order to improve the readability of the article, the details may be polished, please read sensibly, for reference only!
I'm going to the Spring Festival Gala
Since 2010, CCTV has held a program called "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala".
Talented people from all over the country have rushed to the stage, hoping to use their talents to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the second year, the program team ushered in the youngest actor.
He is Deng Minghe.
Don't look at his young age, but his performance strength is not inferior to any "big guy" at all.
obviously hasn't studied drama for a few years, but when he opened his mouth, he amazed all the audience present.
Deng Minghe even passed all the way with his outstanding performance and got the ticket to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In a blink of an eye, it was the rehearsal scene of the 2012 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon.
Everyone is making final preparations.
The director arranged Deng Minghe around the first program at the beginning and the last zero o'clock time.
But he was also secretly worried in his heart whether this boy, who was only about six years old, would mess up everything because of stage fright.
However, Deng Minghe himself is calm and relaxed, and he has been rehearsing with everyone.
I have long been familiar with the program process and the parts I am responsible for.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, with the arrival of a nursery rhyme, Deng Minghe also appeared.
"Children, don't be greedy, children, after Laba is the New Year. ”
The show was unsurprisingly popular, and audiences across the country remembered the adorable little boy.
Deng Minghe, who was only 6 years old, became a hot star.
After that, Deng Minghe directly started various commercial performances.
is not only in opera, but also participated in film and television dramas.
Even Deng Minghe's parents didn't expect their son to become so popular.
And all thanks to the child's grandfather.
Drama prodigy
In 2006, Deng Minghe was born in Handan, Hebei Province, and has a younger sister at home.
The family conditions are very average, so when the two children are a little older, the parents will leave home to work.
Since then, Deng Minghe has been living with his grandparents.
And this also unexpectedly contributed to his fate with opera.
Deng Minghe's grandfather used to stay in the drama troupe, and after retirement, he often liked to listen to some operas.
Unexpectedly, Deng Minghe also loved to listen to the drama with his grandfather since he was a child, and when he couldn't speak, he hummed and asked his grandfather to tune back to the Quyi channel.
By the time he was more than a year old, he was even able to sing along with his grandfather.
Of course, grandpa, an old ticket holder, was very happy to see that his grandson was interested in opera.
I also tried to develop him in this direction.
The neighbors, uncles and aunts around also think that Deng Minghe is a good seedling for learning opera.
So after discussing with his son and daughter-in-law, the grandfather sent his grandson to a professional opera school.
Here, Deng Minghe is like a small fish in the sea, happily wandering in the world of his favorite opera.
And his talent was also thoroughly tapped by the teacher.
When he was just four years old, he went to participate in Henan TV's "Liyuan Spring" program.
And successfully won the championship trophy.
In 2011, he participated in a special evening party of Henan Satellite TV and sang the Peking Opera "Red Lantern" on stage.
It was also this year that Deng Minghe signed up for "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala".
Since then, his fate has changed completely.
After an overnight hit
Since Deng Minghe appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, almost everyone knows the name of this "Peking Opera prodigy".
His parents also gave up working outside the home and concentrated on becoming Deng Minghe's agent.
Every day, I take my son to all parts of the country to participate in programs and commercial performances.
also participated in the performance of the children's movie "The Adventures of Little Dragons", playing the role of "Little Red Child" in the film.
Deng Minghe, who was young, took on the burden of supporting his family in this way.
The cost of his performance also helped his family get a new house.
Despite the frequent performances, he was physically and mentally exhausted.
But seeing the conditions at home is getting better and better because of myself.
Deng Minghe also felt a little happy, and he also liked the feeling of performing on stage.
In 2013, Deng Minghe participated in the program "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" again.
and got the opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala again with his sister.
This time, they performed "Cut Flowers" for a national audience.
The equally cute and playful brother and sister are still very popular.
However, not long after the Spring Festival Gala performance, Deng Minghe suddenly fell ill.
Bad news suddenly
It turned out that just before the Spring Festival Gala performance, Deng Minghe often had fever symptoms.
But for the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, he has been forcibly enduring the discomfort of his body.
Usually, I take a few cold medicines and do things hastily.
On the day he went on stage, he even took fever-reducing medicine and continued to appear on stage.
But when he got home, his face became more and more ugly.
Mom and Dad also felt that something was wrong, so they rushed him to the hospital.
However, the result was unacceptable to all.
After a detailed examination, the hospital found that Deng Minghe actually had leukemia.
The grandfather who loved Deng Minghe the most cried for more than a month, and even his eyes were crying.
Fortunately, Deng Minghe's condition is not serious, and it is in the early stage, and there is a great possibility of cure.
The parents of the Deng family hurriedly took their son to receive more professional treatment.
In order to treat him, almost all the performance fees he earned before were spent.
And all walks of life also extended a helping hand after learning the news of the illness of the former "Peking Opera prodigy".
Two caring enterprises directly donated 2 million yuan.
After that, Deng Minghe received chemotherapy in the hospital for half a year.
Before each chemotherapy, Deng Minghe had to undergo lumbar puncture and bone puncture.
Adults may not be able to bear it, but Deng Minghe never cries out in pain.
Although the process was very painful, Deng Minghe always faced his parents with a strong smile.
In the ward, he is always the most optimistic and cheerful one.
Always comfort and encourage the children in the same ward.
During the period, he also expressed his gratitude to the audience and friends who have always cared about him.
In August 2013, Deng Minghe's condition was basically stable and he was finally able to go home.
The doctor said that Deng Minghe must be allowed to rest a lot after that.
But a month later, he appeared at Beijing Satellite TV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
sang a Henan opera, and the audience was more concerned about his body.
But Deng Minghe's parents have not responded to this.
However, in 2014, Deng Minghe's condition deteriorated again.
An unstoppable ending
At the end of 2014, Deng Minghe was admitted to the hospital again.
But this time, the situation has not improved.
On April 28, 2015, Deng Minghe, who was only 8 years old, still left us.
When the public learned the bad news, they were all heartbroken.
However, some netizens also expressed their doubts.
They think that Deng Minghe's parents have given him too many jobs and used their children as cash cows.
It caused the "little prodigy" to fall ill due to overwork.
Some people even publicly accused Deng Minghe's parents of not being worthy of being parents.
Although, they came out and explained many times, no one believed it.
It wasn't until later that Deng Minghe's sister Deng Minglu said another possibility.
She said that when her brother was young, the family was constantly moving and renovating.
It may be because he inhaled too much formaldehyde at that time, which caused his brother to get sick.
But we don't know what the truth is.
Siren has passed away, and I believe that Deng Minghe's parents must be more sad than us.
In order to fulfill his brother's dream, Deng Minglu also embarked on the road of learning opera.
In 2016, Deng Minglu participated in the recording of the Chinese Youth Network Spring Festival Gala.
In 2017, she once again appeared on the stage of "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" and received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.
Over the years, she has also been working hard to improve in the opera industry, cooperating with many seniors in the industry.
In 2020, Deng Minglu appeared at Shandong Satellite TV's theatrical gala in a Peking Opera costume.
I believe that in the future, she can continue to move forward with her brother's dream.
