1. In 2022, Fan Weiqi, a well-known female artist who has been away from home for 40 years, fondly reviewed the ups and downs and struggles of her life in middle age
In the early morning of 2022, 53-year-old Fan Weiqi stepped on her long-lost hometown with excitement. Time flies, and the 17-year-old girl forty years ago, with her love and dream of music, resolutely left this quiet town and bravely went to the capital to chase her dream of being a singer.
When she stepped foot on this familiar and strange land again, the street scene in front of her seemed to travel back in time and space, bringing her back to the good old days. Those streets that were once full of laughter and laughter, and those buildings that carried the memories of youth, have become so intimate and moving in her eyes.
Fan Weiqi strolls alone through the streets and alleys of the old city, her gaze resting on the old but still familiar buildings, and her heart is filled with endless emotion.
It was on these familiar streets that she once ran and frolicked carefree, and it was here that she experienced the first pain and struggle of her life.
She stopped and stared, facing an old blue brick building, and couldn't help but think of her mother. It was the last time she saw her mother before she left home, and she was weakly helped out of the hospital by her father, who, despite her paleness, still managed to squeeze out a smile and send her the most sincere wishes.
"At that time, I could never have predicted that my father and grandfather would die soon after leaving home, and my mother would be ......bedridden due to illness," Fan Weiqi sighed softly, her eyes moistened.
Those difficult middle years were like a lingering nightmare, and the hardship and pain were intertwined and almost broke her.
The upheaval in her family has not ended, and she has suffered unprecedented blows and slander in her career. With the transformation of the record industry, the living environment of record companies has become more and more severe, and as a newcomer, she has been left out in the cold.
To make matters worse, she was unfortunately involved in the whirlpool of public opinion of the "Me Too" movement, and was accused and questioned by many people.
Recalling those gloomy days, Fan Weiqi almost felt suffocated. She took a deep breath and looked up at the bright sunshine, her heart rekindling a desire for a new life.
In 1994, 17-year-old Fan Weiqi walked into a record company in the capital with full enthusiasm and firm steps, with a love and dream for the music career. She finally left her hometown and started her new journey in the music industry.
However, reality has ruthlessly dealt a heavy blow to the young dreamer. The traditional record industry is facing the dilemma of transformation, with the rise of KTV and online music, record sales and the physical music market are gradually declining.
When she first entered the industry, Fan Weiqi's situation was full of loneliness and helplessness, and her music works could not be exposed and affirmed. "I was really frustrated and wanted to give up. Fan Weiqi narrated the bitter journey of the year, her eyes flashed with a gloomy but determined light, "No one wants to give me a stage to show myself, and even my agent disdains us as a group of newcomers who are just starting out."
Just as she was struggling to explore on the road of her career, the upheaval in her family also followed, which was as shocking as a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Fan's father and grandfather passed away one after another, leaving her two closest family members forever.
What is even more sad is that the only relative, the mother, was also bedridden due to illness, and the whole family fell into unprecedented sadness and anxiety.
"At that time, I felt like I had lost my soul, I was barely able to survive outside during the day, and I could only cry silently when I came home at night. Fan Weiqi recalled that painful time and couldn't help but feel emotional.
As an artist and a family member, Fan Weiqi is almost exhausted, and she is going back and forth between her music career and taking care of her family, and she is under tremendous physical and mental pressure.
3. In 2010, Fan Weiqi's husband was deeply involved in a lawsuit, and in 2017, she bravely tried to establish a personal brand operation business to find a new direction for career development.
However, just as Fan Weiqi's music career is facing many difficulties, her private life is also in trouble. In 2010, a sudden "family civil strife" hit her heart like a thunderbolt from the blue.
That year, Fan Weiqi's husband was involved in a lawsuit dispute over NBA insider trading and could be imprisoned at any time. As a professional athlete, her husband's career was hit hard by this.
Fan Weiqi was furious at the time, and she published an article on social media strongly condemning the "unjust case against her family".
"How I wish it was just a nightmare, but it's real. Whenever she recalls those difficult years, Fan Weiqi always looks gloomy, "My husband may go to prison because of this, and our family will also suffer a huge impact, which is undoubtedly the worst situation."
Fortunately, the worst did not happen, but the lawsuit still brought a heavy blow and shadow to Fan Weiqi's family. She had to juggle back and forth between work and family, distracted.
At this critical moment, Fan Weiqi's music career fell into an unprecedented trough stage. Back in 2017, she decided to break the traditional record label business model and innovatively start a personal brand company and operate independently, in order to find a new direction for her career development.
Fan Weiqi recalled with emotion: "During that period, I tried my best, and it can even be said that I worked day and night without relaxation. But in the end, it ended in failure, and I felt exhausted.
Indeed, the fiasco of this project was undoubtedly a blow to the head, making Fan Weiqi on the verge of collapse under the double dilemma of career and family, she began to gradually degenerate, indulged in alcohol, did nothing, and her once dazzling career as a singer seemed to have suffered a devastating blow.
Fourth, during the low period of her career, Fan Weiqi was also subjected to personal attacks and sexual harassment accusations by the "Me Too" movement, and suffered a heavy blow to her spirit and career.
Just as Fan's career and family life were in trouble, she was subjected to physical attacks triggered by the "Me Too" movement, with many accusing her of inappropriate sexual harassment at work.
This is undoubtedly adding another burden to her already exhausted life.
Some of the assistants and actors who had worked with Fan Weiqi came forward to publicly expose her inappropriate physical contact and verbal harassment during her work. What's more, it was revealed that Fan Weiqi had taken the opportunity to "groping pigs" on female employees on the set.
"I couldn't believe my ears at the time, how could I do such a thing?" Fan Weiqi pounded the sofa angrily, her eyes full of helplessness, "I have always respected every partner very much, and I have never violated others so recklessly.
However, regardless of the truth, this storm of public opinion has seriously damaged Fan's reputation and interpersonal relationships in the industry. It wasn't long before she lost the support of several established partners, and more potential investors chose to distance themselves from her.
For a while, Fan Weiqi felt the all-round pressure from her career and life. Under the dual pressure of mental and financial, she began to gradually self-exile, indulging in alcohol all day long, wasting her time, and the star who once shone on the stage has lost the courage and motivation for life.
Even if she is as strong as Fan Weiqi, she can't help but start to reflect on the true meaning of life.
Part 5 Description - While Fan Weiqi was suffering from endless physical and mental exhaustion, her father and grandfather passed away one after another, and her mother was also hospitalized for treatment due to serious illness.
While Fan Weiqi's career and personal life were in trouble, her family also suffered great changes and misfortunes. The death and illness of her loved ones ruthlessly destroyed her last spiritual pillar like a monstrous wave.
It all started with the tragic news that Fan Weiqi's father and grandfather passed away one after another. As the elders of the family, they have always been the closest and most dependent people to Fan Weiqi.
However, within a few months, the two loved ones left her permanently.
"At that time, I felt like the whole world was collapsing. "On the day my father left, we were still in the hospital with him, and his last wish before he died was to see me succeed in music...... However, he couldn't wait for that moment after all.
The death of her father brought a heavy mental blow to Fan Weiqi, and then the cruel reality was that her only relative, her mother, was also admitted to the ICU ward of the hospital because of a serious illness.
My mother, who was once healthy and strong, is now weak and sleeps in a hospital bed all day.
"It was really the darkest time of my life. I was physically and mentally tormented by the daily rush between the hospital and my home. "I kept praying that my mother would persevere, and at least make our home a safe haven."
However, the hand of fate played a merciless trick on Fan Weiqi, and her mother's condition deteriorated rapidly even as she was physically attacked by the "Me Too" movement. Fan Weiqi burst into tears, feeling helpless in her heart, and life seemed to have lost all meaning and support.
She began to give up on herself, immersed herself in alcohol all day, and completely fell into the lowest point of her life.

Just when she was in the darkest moment of her life, deep in confusion and loneliness, her sister and daughter illuminated her heart like sunshine with fiery emotions. Their selfless and sincere care and encouragement have become the endless motivation for Fan Weiqi's resolute rise!
"My sister was the first to detect the imbalance in my heart, and she came from afar to save me from alcohol addiction.
And my lovely daughter, on the other hand, used her childish and warm words every day to soothe my tired body and mind, and make me deeply aware of the infinite possibilities of life.
In addition to the power of family affection, former friends have also reached out to help. Those old friends who have not been seen for a long time took the initiative to come to the door and gave them moral support and financial assistance without reservation.
Fan Weiqi said with emotion: "Their appearance is like the dawn of life coming again, which makes me realize that there are so many close friends by my side who are silently supporting me.
With a glint of hope in her eyes, "I began to understand that maybe I wasn't alone on this path."
