Preface
Can music really move people's hearts, and is love enough to make people give up their ideals and follow?
A singer who once shined on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala gave up her career for love and married in a foreign country, but fell into a low point in her life.
What struggles and rebirth did she go through, and what lessons does her story tell us?
Let's take a closer look at this twisted and moving legend to feel the power of music and love, as well as the resilience and courage of a woman in the face of adversity.
A different life under the call of music
Zheng Xulan has shown extraordinary musical talent since she was a child, she is like a small boat sailing away, swimming freely in the sea of art.
Her family valued her special talent and sent her to the Conservatory for professional training when she was just a bud of her youth.
In just a few years, she stood out as the best of her peers.
Music has become an integral part of her life, just as fish are born without water.
Teachers and classmates were all impressed by Zheng Xulan's clean and pure voice, and in their eyes, she was simply a natural singer.
In her spare time, she always sits alone at the piano, letting the notes swirl and dance in the air.
This dedication and love are destined to take her on the road of music and pursue the stage of her dreams.
Exotic opens up new horizons
In 1978, Zheng Xulan went to some countries in Southeast Asia to learn local folk music.
The exotic atmosphere has opened up new horizons for her, and she is like a phoenix reborn, using a unique musical style to blend the essence of Eastern and Western cultures.
During her sojourn in Southeast Asia, she worked tirelessly to learn from local musicians and learn about different regional musical styles.
Gradually, her unique views on music have been recognized by more people, and she is known as a master of the fusion of Chinese and Western genres.
The gorgeous stage is smooth and gorgeous
In 1982, Zheng Xulan became a sensation with the theme song of the TV series "Sun Island".
The song was widely circulated and became a household name at the time.
Immediately afterwards, she sang the theme song "Mom Left Me a Song" for the film, which was full of affection and longing for her mother, which resonated with countless audiences.
Since then, major film and television companies have repeatedly invited her to record theme songs, and her fame has spread all over the country.
With her eloquent voice and superb stage performance, Zheng Xulan has appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala many times.
She turned into a smart butterfly, dancing on the stage, and tugging at the heartstrings of the audience with her singing.
The audience cheered endlessly, and she can be called the "darling of the music world".
Whether it is a tactful love song or a energetic fast song, Zheng Xulan controls it freely and brings every note to the fullest.
The stage of the Spring Festival Gala is where she shines, where she shines like a dazzling comet.
For love, stay away from the motherland and fall in love with a foreign land
Just when her career was at its peak, fate opened a chapter of life for Zheng Xulan that was gradually distancing herself from music.
An American man named Edward became the love of her life, and the two knew each other and fell in love, and eventually entered the palace of marriage.
Love is like a peaceful spring breeze, blowing in Zheng Xulan's heart full of musical notes.
At first, Edward pursued her like a frenzy, and even if he was exhausted after the performance, he would rush to the stage to offer flowers and express his heart with practical actions.
In the face of such persistence, Zheng Xulan's heart began to waver, and she began to imagine spending the rest of her life with this man, and she had long forgotten the importance of a music career.
For countless nights, she would sit alone in her room, gazing at the bouquet of roses that Edward had given her, feeling the fragrance of it, as if she were in a gentle country in the clouds.
The power of love is so vast that it makes Zheng Xulan let go of everything and fly away with Edward without hesitation.
For the sake of this relationship between children and daughters, she has no choice but to stay away from the familiar stage, leave the land where she grew up, and go to a foreign country to start a new life.
She became an American citizen and made an embarrassing choice between her dream and reality.
Full of longing, she embarked on a flight to a foreign land and opened a new chapter.
There is a bad omen in American life
Who would have thought that after Zheng Xulan came to the United States full of longing, what awaited her was a difficult and painful experience.
As a newcomer, she was unable to adapt to the local culture and repeatedly hit a wall when applying for a job.
Music is no longer the main theme of life, but can only become an eternal regret in her heart.
Every morning, she is often awakened by the emptiness and confusion in her heart, and she feels unprecedentedly hesitant.
Faced with this strange and cold environment, she was like a fish leaving the ocean, losing the ability to breathe, and could only silently endure the torment day after day.
What's even more cruel is that her husband Edward, who loved her deeply at the beginning, also became ignorant of her.
The sweet past of the two slipped through their fingers like quicksand.
Edward was immersed in work all day long, and he was extremely cold to Zheng Xulan.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her, and she felt helpless and confused like never before.
The weight of her life eventually caused her to fall seriously ill and suffer medical malpractice, which put her life on the line.
On that dark and desperate night, Zheng Xulan lay on the hospital bed with gloomy eyes.
She began to reflect on whether her life was really worth abandoning her ideals and dreams for a love that did not last long, and regret came like a tide, but there was nowhere to sue.
Regain the courage to return to the music scene
Just when her life hit the bottom, Zheng Xulan did not give up her music dream.
Encouraged by friends and family, she regained her courage and returned to the stage in 2011.
The familiar melody sounded in her mouth again, bringing the audience back to the memories of the old days.
Friends and relatives are like warm lights, giving her great encouragement.
They persuaded Zheng Xulan to let go of his past nostalgia and not let his talent be buried.
Years of training have made her more resilient, and she knows that it will not be easy to take the stage again, but she is determined to make her dream come true.
As a result, Zheng Xulan began a long and arduous preparation process.
She often practiced hard in front of the mirror alone, soaking her clothes with sweat.
Sometimes she gave up because of her tired throat, but the next day she regained her courage and continued her dream.
After months of hard training, she was finally ready to make a comeback.
When she stepped on the stage again, the familiar melody echoed in her ears, as if she had traveled back in time and space to her peak.
The audience watched this once dazzling singer shine again, and they were all impressed by her perseverance.
epilogue
Zheng Xulan has experienced countless hardships and struggles in her life, but she has not been crushed by the wind and rain of fate after all.
With her tenacity and persistence, she re-lit the road of music and illuminated the way forward.
As mentioned in the opening chapter, her story bears witness to the importance of music and love to a person's life, illustrating the resilient and courageous side of a woman in the face of adversity.
Her legend will forever reverberate in the hearts of everyone who pursues their dreams, inspiring us to pursue our own stage and burn the brilliant light of life.
