1. Looking back on the musical journey full of gratitude
Fast forward to 2023, and Wang Xiufen, who is already in her sixties, sits alone in front of the window at home, looking out the window at the colorful skyline dyed by the soft sunset, and deep down she can't help but look back on her music career that has gone through vicissitudes.
Although the journey was full of ups and downs, challenges, and thorns, her passion for music and unwavering belief allowed her to carve out a vast world of her own.
Wang Xiufen has developed a deep love for music since she was a child. During her childhood in Shijiazhuang, she would sit quietly in the corner of the playground in her spare time, singing her favorite folk tunes with her immature but infectious voice.
Although her family was not wealthy and her life was quite embarrassing, her love for music did not diminish because of this.
After entering school life, Wang Xiufen finally got her wish and was admitted to the Tianjin Conservatory of Music. There, she systematically studied music theory and vocal techniques, and gradually developed from a simple hobby to a deeper understanding and mastery of music.
At the time of graduation, she was full of persistent pursuit of music and had a musical dream, and stepped into the most well-known Central People's Radio Station at that time.
After entering CCTV, Wang Xiufen is like a young man who has just emerged, and she is in awe of everything. As the youngest member of the radio station, she often felt low self-esteem and anxiety, but she was never overwhelmed by difficulties.
On the contrary, she devoted herself to her work with a more diligent and hard-working attitude, humbly asked her colleagues for advice, and devoted herself to studying the various skills of recording and broadcasting hosting.
Second, the trajectory of love with each other
On an ordinary working day in 1981, Wang Xiufen met a man for the first time in the recording studio of the Central People's Radio. This man is her future lifelong companion - Cheng Zhi.
At first, the two were just ordinary colleagues, nodding their heads when they met, and always maintaining a polite distance.
However, the mysterious forces of fate begin to play a role between them. Due to the needs of work, Wang Xiufen and Cheng Zhi were frequently arranged to cooperate together. At first, they just supported each other to complete the task together, but as time passed, a wonderful understanding and attraction quietly sprouted between them.
Wang Xiufen was deeply fascinated by Cheng Zhi's modest and talented demeanor. Although the age gap is like a chasm, Cheng Zhi's words full of wisdom and humor made Wang Xiufen have a strong interest and affection for this strange colleague.
Similarly, Cheng Zhi was also deeply moved by Wang Xiufen's simple, kind, elegant and generous personality.
So, in one unexpected work contact after another, they gradually changed from strangers to confidants, from colleagues to friends, and finally, their lives were intertwined. In 1984, after three years of in-depth understanding and mutual appreciation, Wang Xiufen and Cheng Zhi decided to work together, enter the palace of marriage, and spend every day in the future together.
Since then, they have lived a life of mutual dependence and support. Whether it is the ups and downs of Wang Xiufen's artistic path, or the ups and downs of Cheng Zhi's career, they have always understood and supported each other.
They built a haven of love with tolerance and love, so that the couple in their late teens felt unprecedented happiness and tranquility in the final stage of their lives.
However, life will eventually usher in the moment of parting. On March 14, 2007, fate was ruthless, and Cheng Zhi died of illness at home at the age of 77. When Wang Xiufen heard this bad news, her whole world seemed to collapse and disintegrate in an instant.
The sudden death of her husband brought endless pain and sorrow to Wang Xiufen. Having lost her closest partner and the most solid pillar in her life, she fell into extreme pain, and her daily spirit was in a trance, and her life was like a dream.
She was once energetic and optimistic, but now she is only an empty and godless shell.
At home, Wang Xiufen often sits alone in front of the window, staring at the relics left by her husband before his death, tears sliding down her cheeks like a spring. Her mind kept replaying the good times she spent with Cheng Zhi, and those pictures of laughter and affectionate hugging have now become an unattainable past.
Wang Xiufen suffered from the loss of her loved ones, and once lost her love and passion for music. Every time she takes the stage and prepares to start a wonderful performance, she can't help but recall the Cheng Zhi who died young.
She turned her deep thoughts and sorrows into moving songs, commemorating her departed lover with affectionate notes, and integrating endless nostalgia for him into every melody.
Friends all deeply admire Wang Xiufen for the heavy pain of widowhood.
As a result, Wang Xiufen transformed her endless thoughts for her loved ones into an unswerving pursuit of her music career. She seems to be spending the rest of her life to make up for the mistakes and regrets between her ancestors and her ancestors.
Fourth, the road of music, full of ambition to start

In 1972, Wang Xiufen, who was only 18 years old, stepped into the coveted broadcasting temple of the Central People's Broadcasting Station. When she first entered the workplace, everything was so strange and new to her.
Within the country's top broadcasting platform, she often felt inferior, anxious, and even nervous and cautious when communicating with her colleagues.
However, Wang Xiufen was not discouraged by this, but actively adjusted her mentality and devoted herself to her work with a more diligent attitude. She humbly consulted with her colleagues, diligently practiced radio hosting and recording techniques, and assiduously studied all kinds of music theory knowledge.

After retiring, Wang Xiufen is still invited to perform dozens of tours across the country every year. In order to present the most wonderful performances, she has always maintained a rigorous and serious attitude, and has been studying and improving her vocal skills all the time.
Before each rehearsal and recording, she is always engrossed and highly focused, practicing each note over and over again until she is fully proficient. Even as she grew older and her physical strength gradually declined, she never had the slightest slackness, but worked harder to devote herself to it.
