Zheng Xulan, who was still singing confidently on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala on the front foot, announced her retirement from the entertainment industry when she turned her head, and quickly threw herself into the arms of foreigners, not only inheriting her ancestry, but also abandoning her nationality.
Obviously born in a military family, he sang many "patriotic songs", and won many national awards, but he just wanted to do things that "worship foreign countries".
Now 66 years old, she lives a "down-and-out" life in China, and Zheng Xulan, who is rumored to have encountered the "present world newspaper", regrets it now?
Ordinary workers become singing superstars
If Zheng Xulan hadn't withdrawn from the circle and changed her nationality, she would be an old artist in China now.
In 1977, Zheng Xulan became a factory worker, and she came from an ordinary military family with nothing special at first, even her appearance was unremarkable, and she went to and from work like everyone else.
Later, the factory held a staff singing competition, Zheng Xulan, who had not undergone systematic training, won the favor of the noble Wang Kun, in his eyes, talent is very important, Zheng Xulan is an uncarved jade, worthy of training.
In this way, Zheng Xulan entered the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and as a pillar of the future, she obtained many resources.
In 1978, Zheng Xulan started a cross-ocean study journey, and Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia were her first choice, and her singing skills have also made a qualitative leap.
At the same time, Zheng Xulan apprenticed to educator Guo Shuzhen, and was also admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music to study vocal music, and such a "baby" was soon discovered by the Spring Festival Gala.
In 1983, it was the first Spring Festival Gala, Zheng Xulan originally just sat in the audience casually to watch the performance, but she was named to sing, so she became everyone's vane wearing a pink sweater.
After that day, the songs she sang "Shepherd Song" and "Sun Island" became popular on the streets, and her casual collocation became a popular trend for little girls to imitate.
Now Zheng Xulan really became famous in the national dimension, and soon she was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Harbin" by the Harbin Municipal Government.
For many years afterward, Zheng Xulan was a popular figure on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, although new singers emerged one after another, which did not affect the status of this "national positive energy" singer.
Why is she said to have passed on positive energy, because the songs she sings are very national, such as "The Sea, My Hometown", "Love My China, Build My Great Wall", "The Party is in My Heart", "Song of the Chinese Revolution", "Amorous Land" and so on.
The gentle and innocent girl sang songs that expressed her feelings, and soon Zheng Xulan was named one of the "Top Ten Most Popular Singers in the Country".
Her singing skills continued to improve, and she won China's first Golden Record Award in 1989.
thought that Zheng Xulan would always maintain this high-quality output, but who knew that she would give up everything because of a man from the United States.
Love first or love brain
At a party in 1986, Zheng Xulan appeared on stage as usual, singing moving songs with a delicate voice, and there were not only domestic audiences in the audience, but also many friends from overseas.
Among them, the most eye-catching is an American man named Edward, who is not only handsome but also very gentlemanly, with a warm smile and bright eyes, he rushed to Zheng Xulan without any scruples.
"You sing so well, I like you very much!"
Zheng Xulan didn't expect the man in front of him to be so enthusiastic and direct, in that era, the feelings of the Chinese people were mostly restrained, and Edward's performance was simply maverick.
But Zheng Xulan quickly accepted, she thanked the other party for her praise and like, looking at the flowers sent by the man, her heart was beating wildly, she knew that she was a little tempted.
After that, the two quickly became friends, and in contact again and again, the two found that they had common interests and topics, and the friends were upgraded to confidants.
Zheng Xulan gradually learned about the scenery, food, culture and other new things in the United States from Edward's mouth, and slowly she became more and more interested in this country.
At the same time, she also found that she had feelings of admiration for Edward, who was very different, and just as she was thinking about how to tell the other party, she first ushered in Edward's confession, she was so surprised that she agreed to the other party's pursuit without hesitation.
It's really a good thing not to go out, the "bad thing" spreads thousands of miles, Zheng Xulan was known by the group as soon as she and Edward walked together, where can the leader tolerate the "treasure in the group" to fall in love with foreigners, and directly inform her:
If you have to fall in love with a foreigner, then you can't stay in the group.
The leader originally wanted to scare Zheng Xulan and hoped that she would take the initiative to give up this relationship, but what was unexpected was that Zheng Xulan was very stubborn and directly announced that she would "quit".
She wanted to go to the United States so much, she wanted to go to the United States to be a happy "superior person", so she announced that she would quit the circle, and turned around and followed her boyfriend to the United States.
But what she didn't expect was that a good beginning doesn't mean a good ending.
"The Present World"
In the United States, Zheng Xulan married Edward as she wished, and the two lived a very sweet life, and she also gave birth to a son for each other, and the family seemed to be happy.
But only a year after the arrival of his son, Edward revealed his true nature, he was tired of Zheng Xulan, who was working at home without a job, and constantly expressed his dislike.
Once a big star and the "baby" in the song and dance troupe, where could Zheng Xulan stand such insults and cold treatment, after weighing, she returned to her former land after leaving the country for 4 years.
She thought that time was short and everything was waiting for her, but when she actually returned to China, she found that everything had changed.
Because of Zheng Xulan's going abroad and changing her nationality, the domestic audience was dissatisfied with her, not only saying that she admired foreign countries, but also loudly "persuaded" her to return to the United States as soon as possible.
Zheng Xulan was in pain, the expected hot stove did not appear, and her son was left abroad because of identity problems, and she could only lick her wounds silently when she was alone.
Later, Zheng Xulan, who relied on sporadic performances, fell into illness, and at this time another man came into her life, he was Li You.
In the company of Li You, her condition was quickly treated, and after recovering her health, Zheng Xulan established a relationship with Li You, and in order to live a stable life, they also decided to buy a house and get married quickly.
But the expected new life has no chance to come back, because Li You's body has problems, he actually suffered from advanced mucosal cancer at the moment before marriage, and he passed away after treatment.
At this time, Zheng Xulan was helpless and painful, and was ridiculed by netizens for being "the world".
Life nowadays
In 2000, Zheng Xulan finally brought her son back to China, and after losing love again, she focused on taking care of her son, who is also very competitive and is now a graduate student at the Communication University of China.
Although Zheng Xulan is still single, I believe that at the age of 66, she is not a "poor person" in everyone's mouth.
