Unconsciously, "Sister 5" kicked off this spring.
Compared with previous years, this year's lineup has grown, Qi Wei, Han Xue, Liu Yan, Shang Wenjie, Guo Biting, He Jie, Zhu Dan, Zhang Yuxi, Yuan Yawei...... 36 sisters gathered, which is very interesting.
Among them, Qi Wei, who has the dual label of actor and professional singer, is highly anticipated.
When she first appeared on the stage, Qi Wei was full of aura.
It was rumored that Qi Wei came to her sister's stage to save the scene, but she herself admitted that she only participated in the show because of her personal love.
Judging by her performance during the interview, she was really immersed in it and enjoying the fun.
She had refused the director's invitation before, and she also said that she was not very good at singing and dancing in the girl group, for fear that the audience would be disappointed. Although it has a bit of a "Versailles" meaning, it can still be seen that Qi Wei attaches great importance to this show.
On the first stage, Qi Wei wore a long dress full of white flowers and sang the original song "Seven", with her innate stage performance, she received a high score of 382, becoming the second in the audience.
She deliberately didn't choose the old songs that everyone is familiar with, but sang the original new songs, because she hopes to find the singer's original intention, "hope to become a memory kill in the future".
Although some netizens said that they couldn't get the song "Seven", they really "knocked" it.
Because Qi Wei and her husband Lee Seung-hyun both participated in the composition. At the beginning of the stage, there was a "brother-in-law to help", and this operation really sprinkled a wave of dog food.
Many netizens have begun to look forward to how much sugar these two will bring to everyone next.
For Qi Wei, no amount of flowery rhetoric to describe her is enough:
Because she likes to sing, she participated in the talent show and squeezed into the top ten in the country;
Because she wanted to transform into an actress, she cut off her waist-length hair;
Because she likes fashion, she has a lot of research on cosmetics, and is called "a beauty blogger who is delayed by acting" by netizens;
Because she wanted to realize her dream, she made a quick comeback after giving birth despite the doctor's obstruction of losing 30 pounds......
This sister who runs in high heels, no matter where she goes, is a touch of beautiful and bright color.
Now 39 years old, her career and love have been very successful, but she still chooses to appear on the stage again and continue to ride the wind and waves on the road to pursue her dreams.
As she herself said: "If you don't have a life that you can win by lying down and eating, then please stand up and run, life is in the process of slapping your face again and again, we repeatedly break ourselves, rebuild repeatedly, and growth sometimes comes from it,"
01
Debuted in the draft and became a singer
Qi Wei's independence and strong character originated from her mother's words and deeds.
In 1984, Qi Wei was born in an ordinary family in Chengdu, Sichuan. When she was two years old, her parents divorced and she was awarded custody to her mother.
A single mother with a child, life is not easy, can be imagined. In order to make money to raise a baby, her mother had to foster Qi Wei at her grandmother's house.
Qi Wei has had poor physique since she was a child, she gets sick every three or five times, and has been given two critical illness notices by doctors.
On the one hand, the burden of life, and on the other hand, the daughter of the rescue room, almost overwhelmed this single mother.
Even so, her mother never thought of giving up on her.
The mother tried her best to raise money to treat Xiao Qiwei, and as long as she had time, she stayed by her side and encouraged her daughter, but she never revealed to her the hardships and difficulties of life.
Her mother's tenacious character deeply affected Qi Wei, and she was extremely strict with Qi Wei's education.
Qi Wei has loved music since she was a child, and when she was 7 years old, her mother sent her to learn violin.
But it didn't take long for Qi Wei to lose interest in learning the piano, she was always not serious in class, and she no longer practiced the piano well when she went home.
The mother was so angry that she picked up the violin rack and hit the coffee table with a "bang", and the floor was instantly full of mess. Subsequently, my mother hated iron and said, "If you don't study hard, what can you do in the future?"
At that moment, Qi Wei deeply understood that the future without help could only rely on herself.
Since then, Qi Wei began to concentrate on learning the piano, no matter the wind and rain, or the cold winter and heat, the little figure who went to class never stopped.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and when she was just in junior high school, Qi Wei won the violin grade 8 certificate. The practice of rain or shine has borne this fruit, and this learning experience has also laid the groundwork for her to enter the music world in the future.
After the college entrance examination, Qi Wei's grades were quite good, her mother hoped that she could have a stable job and wanted her to apply for the Normal University, but Qi Wei had her own idea - to be a singer.
The first war between the mother and daughter broke out, no matter how hard the mother spoke, Qi Wei was still unwilling to change her will, looking at such a determined daughter, the mother had to sigh and agree to her request.
In this way, Qi Wei was admitted to Zhejiang University of Media and Communication as she wished.
After going to college, Qi Wei has never slackened, and she is always in the study room and library.
Qi Wei's biggest characteristic is that she is fearless, she has no background, she goes on her own, and if she has no connections, she becomes her own network.
In 2006, when she was about to graduate, Qi Wei single-handedly participated in the "My Type My Show" program with her love for music, and squeezed into the top ten in the country with her outstanding appearance and talent.
In 2007, Qi Wei partnered with Yuan Chengjie to form the singing group "Lang Cai Girl". Subsequently, a song "Bund 18" made the duo famous, and this song also won the Most Popular Duet Song Award at the 8th Global Chinese Music Chart.
At this point, Qi Wei began to emerge in the music scene.
Qi Wei once said: "I don't have an open life, only myself who works hard." ”
Many people do not come to this world with a golden spoon in their mouths, but a person's experience can allow him to create a golden key and open the door to the future.
02
The transformation from a talent singer to a powerful actor
thought that with the east wind of "Bund No. 18", Qi Wei would go all the way up in the music world, but she didn't expect that fate played a huge joke on her.
At that time, the Chinese music scene had already begun to decline.
After becoming popular, although there are many announcements every day, most of them are for the mall platform or for the opening of a new store.
Once, Qi Wei was invited to sing in a restaurant, and the boss asked her to sing "Bund 18" again. Only then did she realize that although she had sung many other songs, she had never left a trace, and the only thing people remembered was "Bund 18".
Later, as the popularity of this song was replaced by other songs, Qi Wei was gradually forgotten.
The company believed that Qi Wei and Yuan Chengjie were no longer valuable, so they gave up renewing the contract.
Since then, Qi Wei has no financial resources, and when she was most embarrassed, she only had 35 yuan in the card.
But Qi Wei was not reconciled, since the music world could not tolerate her, then she found another way: to transform into an actor.
Qi Wei firmly grasps every opportunity and is willing to work hard for every opportunity.
When she received the invitation to "Impeccable Beauty Like a Cloud", because the character was set to have short hair, she cut off her long hair that had been carefully maintained for 7 years.
When the crew of "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" found her, they invited her to play the vicious and crazy Xia Youyou.
At that time, many celebrities refused to play the role of a villain, thinking that such a role would attract a lot of scolding and affect their image, but Qi Wei was willing to try:
"If someone likes you, someone hates you, but you have to have the courage to face it. ”
In the end, under her interpretation, the ruthless and glamorous Xia Youyou became the "black moonlight" in the hearts of countless people.
Subsequently, Qi Wei successively starred in dramas such as "Another Me in the World" and "Love Wakes Up". Every character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Slowly, netizens also remembered this girl with a full personality and independence, and enthusiastically called her "Brother Qi".
As her acting skills became more and more proficient, Qi Wei successfully won the leading role in popular TV series such as "I Am Durala" and "Beijing Women's Illustrated".
While the performance was a great success, Qi Wei did not stay in her comfort zone with peace of mind, but chose to continue to regain her original dream, and successively released familiar songs such as "If Love Forgot" and "You Are the Right Person".
This time, the public finally remembered this slightly hoarse, but very emotionally expressive singing.
After the hit of "Beijing Women's Illustrated Guide", many people said that Qi Wei played her role Chen Ke alive. However, Qi Wei and Chen Ke are completely different.
Qi Wei is not as hesitant as Chen Ke, she has a ruthlessness in her body, and she has more decisiveness. She always has her own goals to move forward, so her steps have always been firm.
Moreover, Qi Wei still has the bottom line she adheres to and the courage to bear the consequences.
Someone broke the news that an assistant director wanted to uncover her rules and threatened to delete all her scenes if she didn't agree.
Qi Wei was shocked and angry, but still refused solemnly. Even though she knew that all her efforts could be in vain, she had to stick to her principles. In the end, the movie was released, and her role was not left at all.
Many years later, when talking about her views on the "unspoken rules" on the show, Qi Wei said: "I have my own principles, I will not compromise for the sake of compromise, I am who I am." ”
In order to keep the "self", it is inevitable to pay the price, but when it comes to really facing "loss", few people can have the courage and courage to bear the consequences like Qi Wei.
Her courage is also reflected in many aspects.
During the filming of the movie "Manhunt", there was a permanent scar on her forehead, but she accepted it calmly;
Soon after giving birth, I began to join the group to film with my daughter who was still breastfeeding.
……
There are many, many more such things, this is Qi Wei.
Keigo Higashino once said: The best preservation in the world is to keep improving and make yourself a better and more worthy of love.
When a person goes to great lengths to do something, the whole universe will help her.
And Qi Wei, whether as an actor or a singer, she has worked hard.
Now she has a happy family and a fulfilling career, just because she is worth it.
03
Get true love and become a winner in life
With the success of her career, she also got a happy marriage.
In 2012, when Qi Wei was filming "Another Me in the World", she met her true son - Lee Seung-hyun.
At that time, Qi Wei was already famous, and Lee Seung-hyun, who came to China from South Korea to develop, was still an unknown little person, and Lee Seung-hyun was not Qi Wei's favorite type.
But in the day-to-day cooperation, Qi Wei found that Lee Seung-hyun was a gentle and careful person, and Lee Seung-hyun was also attracted by Qi Wei's strong and independent character, so there was a spark of love between the two.
From colleagues to ordinary friends, to best friends who talk about everything, there are more and more moments of the same frequency in the relationship between the two, and in the end, Lee Seung-hyun took the first step and bravely confessed to Qi Wei.
This move also awakened the long-accumulated emotions in Qi Wei's heart: "From the moment he officially confessed to me, I found that I slowly began to like him. ”
Then the two sweetly talked about the underground love until the relationship was announced in June 2014.
In September 2014, Qi Wei and Lee Seung-hyun held a wedding.
In the second year of marriage, she gave birth to her daughter, Lucky. Soon after giving birth, Qi Wei made a comeback, and Lee Seung-hyun quit his job to take care of the baby at home.
At the beginning, the decision of "female protagonist outside and male protagonist inside" was made because Lee Seung-hyun felt sorry that his wife had dedicated the most golden period due to pregnancy and childbirth, and women's career cycles were shorter than men's, so they decided to take a gamble between the two of them: quit by themselves and let Qi Wei "pursue her unfinished dream".
After becoming a full-time father, Lee Seung-hyun was once labeled as a "soft rice man", and the negativity around him came and went, and he once fell into depression. Sometimes he can't control his temper and gets angry at his daughter, and when he calms down, he feels guilty.
Whenever this happens, Qi Wei never complains, but has been silently encouraging him. When he denied himself, Qi Wei would tell him very solemnly: "Haven't you been working all the time? If it weren't for you, who would take care of Lucky so well?"
In daily life, Qi Wei always praises Lee Seung-hyun for loving children very much and being very responsible, and often thanks him: Because of you, I can devote myself to my work.
Qi Wei respects Lee Seung-hyun's dedication very much, "The person who is running around, you are the pillar, but if you don't have the support of your family, you can't withstand it." ”
In this mutual encouragement, mutual recognition and mutual understanding, their feelings are warm and harmonious, and they are more and more solid.
In addition to being very sincere and attentive in getting along with each other, the husband and wife are also not sloppy in their treatment of children.
Lucky once lost his favorite toy, a beauty egg, on a plane. This beauty egg has been sewn many times and is very old. But considering that this is his daughter's favorite thing, Lee Seung-hyun asked many people to help him find it together, and finally found it back.
He did not disdain the loss of beauty eggs with an "adult" mentality, but carefully considered his daughter's feelings and tried his best to help her get it back, which can be said to be unloving to his daughter.
But he will also tell Lucky in a serious way: This time the thing was lost, causing trouble to many people, and he should not be careless in the future.
Qi Wei is the same at this point, she loves children very much, but she is very principled.
She is willing to give Lucky the best of everything, but when Lucky likes her mother's skirt very much, crying and not letting her mother wear it, Qi Wei will not give it to her because she is small.
Under the warm and principled education of the couple, Lucky grew up to be both well-behaved and cute:
When his friend John accidentally breaks up the ping pong ball, he will help him pick it up together;
When doing tasks with a partner, he will apologize for covering his or her mouth;
accidentally drank the drink bought by her partner, she not only admitted her mistake, but also went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of the same and return it to the other party.
In "Think of a Way! Dad", she is independent and assertive, and she is liked by many people.
In 2021, when Qi Wei was pregnant with her second child, Lee Seung-hyun received an invitation to the program "Brother Who Overcame Difficulties". The perennial full-time dad life made him hesitate when the opportunity came, worried that he would not be able to perform well.
At this time, Qi Wei has been actively encouraging him and helping him design his performance style, and finally Lee Seung-hyun became popular all over the Internet with a song "Flying in the Sky". At this moment, all the rumors surrounding Lee Seung-hyun are self-defeating.
In an emotional marriage, the highest level of getting along comes from mutual appreciation and recognition.
Because of participating in "Brother Who Overcame Difficulties", Lee Seung-hyun was unable to accompany Qi Wei throughout his pregnancy, which made him blame himself very much.
This feeling of guilt has always followed him. Later in the show, Wu Jianhao and Lin Feng invited him to perform together, and he loved the stage very much, but once he agreed, the time of the performance would collide with Qi Wei's due date, so he would not be able to accompany his wife when she gave birth.
The desire for his dreams and his debt to his wife reached their peak at the same time, and Lee Seung-hyun was in a dilemma.
At this time, Qi Wei gave him great support: "Since you have gone, you still have to be worthy of the audience." And I'm not bad for your two days. Don't worry, no problem. ”
This remark seemed to fix the needle of the sea, calming all of Lee Seung-hyun's anxiety and chagrin. In the end, he finished the game with peace of mind, and announced the good news on the show: the second child was born, and the mother and child were safe.
After Seven was born, the couple's time was once again full.
The amount of time they used to spend with their friends and enjoy their world has been greatly reduced.
Qi Wei believes that such a staged sacrifice is necessary, but she also believes that in the near future, they can get back the part of their life that belongs to "themselves" outside the label of "parents".
So not long after she got out of confinement, she devoted herself to work again: in April 2023, "Women's Reasoning Club", she was cautious and resolute and revealed the truth of the case in a short time;
In November 2023, "Mars Intelligence Agency", her professional and humorous hosting quality makes the show interesting;
At the end of 2023, at the "New Year's Eve Concert", she and Lee Seung-hyun will use a song "Crazy Love" to thrill the audience.
At the same time, Lee Seung-hyun's career is also blossoming everywhere: variety shows such as "This is Street Dance", "Hello Saturday", "Dad's Home", etc., not only let his talent be displayed, but also make his personality charm known to more people, and his popularity has skyrocketed.
They have all ushered in a better life, thanks to their mutual fulfillment, mutual respect and mutual support.
They provide each other with long-term and stable emotional security, and each can feel the happiness brought by a stable family at any time.
Perhaps, this is the underlying logic of high-quality marriage.
Feelings are like drinking water, marriage is like wearing shoes, and the highest level of getting along is not to raise your eyebrows and respect each other, but to recognize and fulfill each other.
Among them, it is not only the blending of feelings, but also the confidence of the two to treat life geographically and have their own happiness.
An empathetic marriage is a career booster. And the best state of marriage is that it can make you the most original version of yourself.
Qi Wei and Lee Seung-hyun's marriage is enviable, but we should also see that this happiness is not luck, but the result of the two working together.
As Qi Wei said: "True love is never encountered, but cultivated." ”
Today, Qi Wei has a gentle and considerate husband, a beautiful and sensible daughter and a healthy and happy son, who can be called a winner in life. While envious, I am even happier with them.

Go forward bravely and ride the wind and waves
Qi Wei, who is now 39 years old, has faded from her youthful youth, and her every move reflects the charm of an adult woman.
Some people say: Qi Wei is the real practitioner of "brave people enjoy the world first".
Looking back on her life, her parents divorced when she was 2 years old, and she went around and around in the singing industry for 6 years, but she didn't achieve much until she entered the showbiz, and she became the well-known "Brother Qi" step by step from an unknown small role.
She is not afraid of being discussed, bravely faces public opinion, everything is not defined in shape and style, Qi Wei is Qi Wei, very bold, very fluid, very real, and very cool.
She dares to fight, knows how to be highly self-consistent, always believes that she has great energy, and almost never thinks about the cost of trial and error, which itself is a kind of harvest of different tracks.
Qi Wei decided to participate in Sister Lang and shine on a bigger stage, just trying to break through herself, and riding the wind and waves is too appropriate for her.
Chasing the wind and catching the moon do not stay, and the end of the flat is the spring mountain.
Only by constantly pushing your limits can you see your true potential.
Don't stop moving forward, boldly meet challenges, constantly improve yourself, and move forward bravely, so that you can bloom brightly on the stage of life, just like Qi Wei.
