Preface
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a singer, appearing on stage, and infecting the audience with your voice? Have you ever encountered setbacks and difficulties, but still insist on your love and dedication to music? Today, let us walk into the life of Zuhai, the queen of folk songs, to understand how a talented woman who pursues her dreams has worked hard for her own glory step by step on the road of music.
A rising star in music who insists on chasing his dreams
Zuhai was born into an ordinary family, and her parents had limited income, but they fully supported her musical dreams.
Since childhood, Zu Hai has shown extraordinary talent, he can recite quotations endlessly at the age of 3, and he has a cheerful and lively personality and is good at expression.
Her father made a gramophone for her, and her mother often took her to watch opera performances.
In order to support their daughter in chasing her music dream, her parents did not hesitate to cut back on food and clothing, and only by saving money could they afford expensive theater tickets.
Zu Hai is very sensible and never asks her parents for other things, but her parents wait outside the door for her to go home together after watching the opera.
In 1990, 9-year-old Zu Hai won the championship in a music competition in Bengbu with the beautiful song "Come in February" and became famous in one fell swoop.
In order to enter the conservatory, she came to Beijing alone to take the exam, facing an unfamiliar environment alone.
During those days, she worked hard to prepare for exams during the day, and often couldn't sleep at night because of fear.
Her mother understood her mood and called her every day on time at night and stayed with her until she fell asleep.
After entering the High School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music, Zu Hai took a long-distance bus to the teacher's house with a bulky musical instrument on his back during the summer vacation, and studied music knowledge hard.
In her senior year, she represented the school in the CCTV Youth Song Competition, stood out among many contestants and won the second prize.
The rise of the diva of folk songs
The devastating floods of 1998 worried the whole country.
The song "For Whom" sung by Zu Hai perfectly combines the great mother's love with the dedication of the disaster relief heroes, which is extremely infectious and touches the hearts of countless audiences in one fell swoop.
She also became famous overnight and was signed by CCTV.
The following year, the 23-year-old Zu Hai got his wish on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, starting a glorious journey of singing in the Spring Festival Gala for nine consecutive years.
Many classic songs such as "Long Tonight" and "Good Luck Come" were sung by her into thousands of households with her beautiful voice, and she became a well-known "queen of folk songs" in the Chinese community.
Even if his career is getting better, Zu Hai has not forgotten his roots.
She chose her hometown Bengbu as the filming location for the song MV many times, allowing the world to know this beautiful city.
Through unremitting efforts, she has won many awards such as "Five One Project Award" and "New Folk Song Queen".
Rumors of right and wrong plague the star journey
However, just when his career was taking off, a piece of paper rumors almost ruined Zu Hai's entire star journey.
It went viral on the Internet that she actually "posted" her boss Zou Youkai, who was 37 years older than herself.
For a while, the whole network was fried, and everyone speculated that the relationship between the two was "not serious".
The cause of the incident is really just a song.
During the flood relief in 1998, Zou Youkai inspected the work in the disaster area, and wrote the song "For Whom" with a sigh.
He told Zu Hai about the motivation and process of creation, and Zu Hai was moved by his heart-warming gesture and happily sang this song.
No one could have imagined that this song would become popular all over the country as soon as it was released, and the relationship between the two also caused unwarranted speculation from the outside world.
Rumors are self-defeating? No, this is deadly poison in the entertainment industry.
All kinds of bizarre speculations are snowballing, and it is even said that Zu Hai has divorced because Zou Youkai is too old, and he has hooked up with a new rich boss.
Under the fierce attack of these peach news, Zu Hai's career is in jeopardy, and disappointed fans have lost their fans one after another.
Her studio has been trying to debunk the rumors, but to no avail.
Until 2023, Zu Hai finally couldn't hold back and chose to use legal weapons to protect his reputation and interests.
Some die-hard fans stood up to vote in support, and the calm ordinary people also realized that they were wrong to blame Zu Hai.
This incident finally came to an end, but the blow to Zuhai was indelible.
Emotional life exudes fog
The love life of an artist has always been the focus of attention from the outside world.
Since becoming famous, Zu Hai has more and more suitors around him.
However, until the age of 44, she was still alone and never married.
As the only daughter in the family, Zu Hai's marriage has long become a problem for his parents.
Fans have always been very curious about her love life: Is it because her strength is too strong, which makes her male friends feel scared?
In fact, the root cause comes from Zuhai himself.
Her friend Bai Xue directly exposed a "fatal" flaw in Zu Hai on the show: "Zu Hai is the righteous anger of the big brothers, don't look at her dressing very femininely, in fact, her personality is a man's character, the same as Mulan." "
In this regard, Zu Hai also admitted on the show that his personality is indeed closer to masculine, and it is easy to treat the opposite sex like buddies.
Perhaps, it was this unique personality trait that made her unable to marry in the end.
Fade off the stage and devote yourself to public welfare
After 2014, Zu Hai became less and less on the stage.
She sheds the aura of the past and begins to enjoy a life without being disturbed.
Raise some flowers and plants, have cats and dogs as companions, travel everywhere, and draw inspiration and creativity for music in nature.
Fame and fortune could no longer trap her, so she turned her attention to giving back to the society, silently funding the construction of her hometown through donations and other means, and also invested in the construction of a hope primary school.
Today, Zuhai's life has become more comfortable, and she is able to fully immerse herself in pure art.
She used her beautiful voice to sing folk songs into a generation.
epilogue
Zu Hai's life experience is really moving.
Since childhood, I have been determined to embark on the road of music, and I have finally achieved a career after hardships.
She touched countless people with her voice and pushed the ancient art of folk song to new heights.
Even at the peak of her career, fate did not completely favor her, and all kinds of twists and turns followed, almost burying all her efforts.
But it is with tenacious and unyielding perseverance that Zu Hai finally walked out of the haze and harvested a new stage of life.
She began to live a comfortable and self-sufficient life, devoting herself to public welfare undertakings to give back to the society, and drawing inspiration from nature.
Now, she will be able to stick to the romantic road of music forever.
Setbacks are inevitable in everyone's life, and the key is to learn to face difficulties head-on and overcome them with optimism and courage.
Just like Zuhai, as long as he has a pure love for music, he will eventually stand tall in the wave and shine his own light.
Her musical journey will continue forever, just like her heart-pounding voice, which will always echo in our ears.
The journey of life is sketched out step by step, and Zu Hai used his perseverance and talent to compose a melodious movement.
I hope that every dream chaser can be like her, unswerving in her ideals, never give up, and finally create an extraordinary life in an ordinary life.
