Preface: Yan Weiwen, an artist who plays a pivotal role in the field of music and art in China and around the world, has made his life journey full of hardships and challenges, but also full of struggles and achievements. This article will lead you into Yan Weiwen's wonderful artist journey!
Chapter 1: The Nightmare of Childhood: The Tempering of a Poor Family
Yan Weiwen, the great artist, was born into a poor family and has endured all kinds of pressures of life since he was a child. His grandfather ran a small shop, and the family was financially stable, but the good times were short-lived, and the family business quickly declined, and life was in trouble.
In order to raise five children to adulthood, Yan Weiwen's parents put in great efforts and were physically and mentally exhausted. What's even more poignant is that due to the poverty of the family, Yan Weiwen is often treated coldly by the neighbors, and the heavy responsibility on his mother's shoulders can be imagined.
However, Yan Weiwen's mother never complained to him or gave up. She always encouraged her son, telling him not to pay too much attention to the evaluation and vision of others, but to stick to his own ideals. His mother's teachings made Yan Weiwen gradually grow into a humble and empathetic person.
Yan Weiwen has been an excellent student since he was a child, with good conduct and both ability and integrity. He can always understand the hard work of his parents, once, his mother was sick in bed because of long-term malnutrition, Yan Weiwen caught an insect and exchanged it for four cents, then held the coin in both hands, walked to the side of his mother's bed, and said with a firm look: "Mom, this is the money I got in exchange for catching insects, you won't starve again!" Looking at the innocence and hope in her son's eyes, the mother was moved to tears, and her heart was full of relief.
Chapter 2: The Enlightenment of Music - A Gifted Teenager
In addition to being diligent and studious, Yan Weiwen was born with a strong interest in music and outstanding talent. At the age of 15, he was successfully admitted to the Shanxi Provincial Military and Political Art Troupe, and since then he has embarked on the journey of music career.
Seven years later, Yan Weiwen was once again admitted to the China Central Radio and Television Art Troupe with excellent results, and climbed to a new peak on the road of music. Since then, he has been singing independently, and with the touching song "Little Poplar", he has made a name for himself in the music scene and is gradually known to a wide audience.
Epilogue: The Test of Fate - The Challenge of the CCTV Youth Song Competition
In less than a year, they have ushered in a long-awaited new life, adding more laughter to their cozy little home. However, at this mixed moment, the CCTV Young Singer Competition kicked off the registration curtain, as a singer who loves singing, Yan Weiwen is naturally eager to show his talent in this national competition.
As expected, Yan Weiwen relied on his profound musical skills and excellent performance skills to overcome obstacles all the way and successfully advance to the finals. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yan Weiwen.
As long as he succeeds in winning the decisive final, his career will reach new heights, and a new chapter in his life will begin! However, before this important moment arrived, Yan Weiwen received the news like a thunderbolt from the sky - his beloved Liu Weixing was diagnosed with cancer. Facing his wife on the sickbed, Yan Weiwen's heart was filled with endless pain and struggle, and he was almost ready to give up the game and devote himself to taking care of his wife.
However, when he heard his wife's affectionate advice, Yan Weiwen could only hold back the grief in his heart, temporarily put down his wife on the hospital bed, and stepped on the stage of the competition alone. Fortunately, he eventually lived up to expectations and managed to win the crown, and his wife Liu Weixing finally returned to health after a series of meticulous treatments.
However, it wasn't long before Yan Weiwen encountered a new storm of slander. Once, the love story between him and his wife Liu Weixing became the most innocent and touching model in people's hearts. However, decades later, the 66-year-old master of art has fallen into the whirlpool of public opinion that "the evening is not guaranteed".
Some netizens broke the news that Yan Weiwen's recent dress is too luxurious, and even a seemingly ordinary sweatshirt is worth as much as 7,000 yuan. For such a veteran artist, this extravagant and extravagant lifestyle is incomprehensible and even provokes public ridicule.
What's more serious is that some netizens accused Yan Weiwen of using his reputation to participate in commercial activities everywhere, endorse various products, and also open expensive vocal training courses. The tuition fee for these courses in just three days is as high as 5,000 yuan, which can't help but make people wonder if Yan Weiwen is abusing his popularity to "touch porcelain" and seek improper benefits.
For a time, doubts such as "fame and fortune", "mercenary", and "betraying the original intention" were endless, which made people begin to have deep doubts about the moral character of this old artist. However, the truth is far from being as simple as it seems. In this whirlpool of public opinion, there has always been a force that supports Yan Weiwen and has never been eliminated. They believe that Yan Weiwen is only legally earning money to make ends meet, and that he has absolute right to use the wealth he earns, without the need for others to dictate him.
Time jumps back to the unforgettable years of 2018, during that time, a young intern named Xianzi bravely stood up and revealed the shocking truth, that is, she was victimized by Zhu Jun in the dressing room, which can be called "workplace harassment"! However, the whole incident was not as calm as expected, but caused a storm of public opinion, Zhu Jun's image in the public mind suffered a heavy blow, and his career was on the verge of collapse.
At this critical moment, Yan Weiwen, with his firm determination and courage, stepped forward and made a strong defense for Zhu Jun. He clearly pointed out that he did not witness any misconduct, let alone found that Zhu Jun had any indecent behavior against Xianzi, which means that Xianzi's accusations lack evidence support and are false. Yan Weiwen's remarks undoubtedly brought a turning point for Zhu Jun, who was deeply trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion, and enabled him to readjust his pace and breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Xianzi did not buy Yan Weiwen's testimony, and she publicly stated that Yan Weiwen did witness Zhu Jun's indecent behavior at that time, but for some ulterior purpose, he tried to throw the black pot at Zhu Jun and splash sewage on him. In the face of Xianzi's accusations, can Yan Weiwen finally clear his grievances for Zhu Jun? His motive for defending Zhu Jun has also aroused endless speculation, whether it is out of deep affection for his old friend, or whether he has other hidden feelings? All kinds of doubts have come and gone, and this respected veteran artist has been in a dilemma for a time, unable to extricate himself.
5. Social Responsibility of Artists
As public opinion continued to ferment, people began to raise new questions and criticisms about Yan Weiwen's lifestyle and work attitude in his later years. For an old artist with a decades-long artistic career, their words and deeds do represent a kind of spiritual guidance and value orientation to a certain extent.
Some people believe that Yan Weiwen has deviated from the moral code of an artist by "extorting money" to obtain wealth, and that when he enters old age, he seems to be confused by fame and fortune, pursuing money excessively and ignoring his original intention. Some netizens even directly criticized his behavior, saying that he was "not guaranteed in the evening" and "born in old age".
However, we must not forget that we must not force our values into others! In fact, everyone's understanding and pursuit of money is unique. Artists who were once worshipped by us also had to face the problems of real life and struggle to make ends meet.
The most important thing is whether we follow the principle of justice when we acquire wealth, and whether we do not cheat and do not harm others? This is the question that we should think about.
Many netizens have spoken out about this, and they call on us not to over-deify artists, but to look at them with a more objective and calm attitude. After all, as disseminators of culture and leaders of values, their words and deeds will naturally attract widespread attention and scrutiny from all walks of life.
We hope that these artists can use their personality charm and artistic ethics to inject positive energy into our era and demonstrate profound humanistic values.
After all, in this world of material temptations, the magic of money is everywhere, and even artists are hard to avoid being influenced by it. However, we should cherish and inherit the spiritual home that artists represent, rather than overemphasizing or even magnifying certain flaws in their personal lives.
