One day in July 2022, we are about to witness a legendary figure, Emperor Zhang, entering the 80th spring and autumn of his life! Zhang Di, an outstanding representative of the contemporary Chinese music scene, his life journey is like an epic masterpiece full of ups and downs, full of drama.
Now, the traces of time have crept up on his face, and his physical strength is difficult to return to his former peak state, but he has not lost confidence because of this, but is more determined to pave the way for his family's future, such as working hard to accumulate wealth, buying adequate insurance for them, and so on.
If it weren't for that ardent pursuit of drama and music, Emperor Zhang could have inherited his family education and become a well-respected doctor. He was born into a family of scholars in Qingdao, Shandong Province, where his father was a well-known Western doctor and his mother came from a prominent family.
Under the careful teaching of his father, Emperor Zhang was immersed in various medical classics since he was a child, and had in-depth research in the fields of Chinese and Western medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion.
Emperor Zhang finally graduated from medical school with excellent grades and obtained a master's degree, and his future is bright. He was sent into the army as a surgeon, specializing in surgical treatment, and made many great achievements.
After completing the mission of inheriting the family business, Emperor Zhang soon ushered in another important stage in his life - marriage and childbirth.
Under the careful arrangement of his parents, Emperor Zhang married his first wife through the traditional matchmaking language. Soon after marriage, his wife gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter for him, and the family of three lived a happy life.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people, and the blazing flame of artistic dreams in Emperor Zhang's heart was finally completely ignited at a critical moment.
After careful consideration, he resolutely gave up the "golden job" of practicing doctor and embarked on the journey of pursuing his music dream without hesitation. When Emperor Zhang confessed his decision to his family, he was met with indifference and opposition.
In particular, his father was furious and resolutely opposed his son's "unprofessional" behavior, and even threatened to never let Emperor Zhang step into the house again.
After some struggles and choices, Emperor Zhang decided to give up the stable and envious "iron rice bowl" of others, and chose to bravely step out of his comfort zone and into the unknown journey of life.
However, during this time, his life seemed to be caught in a whirlpool of confusion, running around, but never finding a home.
It wasn't until he found a place to stay in a bustling dance hall that he finally found a place to stay, but at this time, he was only a low-level waiter and began his career.
However, who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary waiter would be a surgeon with a master's degree in medicine? In addition to his busy work, Emperor Zhang devoted all his efforts to the study of music theory and singing skills, and was full of enthusiasm for the music career.
Just when Emperor Zhang was hungry for knowledge and sharpened his skills, the door of fate finally opened to him. It was an ordinary and special night, the resident singer was unable to attend for some reason, and the boss saw this scene, so he encouraged Zhang Di to show his talent without reservation.
Although there were only two ordinary spectators at the scene, Emperor Zhang was not discouraged by this, but went all out and made adequate preparations. When his affectionate and moving singing voice sounded melodiously, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited, and the two people in the audience were also deeply attracted, and couldn't help but put down the melon seeds in their hands and listened attentively.
And the boss standing on the side was even more amazed and praised Emperor Zhang's talent.
This low-key and enthusiastic performance undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for Emperor Zhang's road to fame. Since then, he has made a name for himself with his unique talent for improvisation and improvisation.
All kinds of guests came, some out of curiosity, but more were conquered by the charm of Emperor Zhang's outstanding performance.
In the face of the diverse needs of the audience, Zhang Di can always deal with it calmly and easily. What he does best is the ability to improvise lyrics based on melodies.
Even his most representative work, "Mao Mao Song", was born in response to a concert in Indonesia.
In order to be able to bring colorful and easy-to-understand improvisational performances to the audience, Zhang Di has always maintained his enthusiasm for learning and knows all kinds of knowledge sources such as books, newspapers, and TV programs.
It is precisely with his extraordinary diligence and on-the-spot creative ability that Zhang Di has exceeded an eye-popping 1,000 performances in just ten years, becoming the artist with the highest number of performances in the Chinese music scene, which is unparalleled.
At the glorious moment of his career, Zhang Di's personal emotional life was not as perfect and harmonious as we imagined. The union between him and his first wife was born from the acquaintance and matchmaking of both parents and the words of traditional matchmaking.
At the beginning of the marriage, Emperor Zhang's wife successfully gave birth to a smart and clever little princess for him, which was supposed to be a family of three full of laughter and warmth.
However, at this time, Emperor Zhang's deep enthusiasm and pursuit of music could no longer be suppressed. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind and resolutely resigned from his stable position as a military doctor to devote himself wholeheartedly to the singing career he loved.
This decision was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering the good expectations of the family members. Especially his father, a generation of medical experts, couldn't understand why his son gave up his bright future and turned to the singer industry, which was regarded as "not doing his job", and even announced in public that he would forever ban Emperor Zhang from stepping into the house again.
Emperor Zhang's first wife also did not agree with his decision, believing that as a husband and father, he should take on the responsibility of taking care of the family and not be confused by the so-called "musical dream".
The conflict between the two intensified, and eventually inevitably went down the path of separation and divorce, and their daughter lived with her mother.
Soon after, Emperor Zhang ushered in a new married life. However, the marriage still ended in failure. As a well-known singer with a successful career, in the face of the temptation of fame and fortune, Zhang Di's love life can be described as full of twists and turns, full of endless regrets.
Just as he was about to enter his old age, a "love affair with a huge age gap" that made everyone jaw-dropping quietly sprouted in the dark. Emperor Zhang and his daughter's friend Zhang Xinru fell in love, and the age gap between the two was as high as 33 years.
The deviant "grandson love" between Emperor Zhang and Zhang Xinru caused an uproar in the society. The voices of public opinion have risen one after another, criticizing and criticizing this couple with a huge age gap.
Emperor Zhang was ruthlessly reprimanded by people as "old cows eat tender grass", "old people are not ashamed" and other insulting words. Some people think that it is unethical for an elderly man in his 60s to become interested in a younger generation of women.
What is even more thought-provoking is that some people question whether Zhang Xinru's motives are simply because she covets Emperor Zhang's wealth and social status, so she decided to throw herself into the arms of this famous singer who is about to die.
In the face of the stormy attack of public opinion, Emperor Zhang's heart was as tenacious as a stubborn stone. However, what really broke his heart was his daughter's resolute opposition to the matter and her indignant rhetoric.
The daughter is in the prime of her cardamom years, and it is naturally difficult to bear such drastic changes in the family.
In the face of his daughter's merciless questioning, Emperor Zhang felt deeply distressed and helpless. He is well aware that the huge age gap and ethical challenge between himself and Zhang Xinru will inevitably attract questions and condemnation from the world, and the road is tortuous and difficult.
However, he still chooses to bravely pursue his own happiness and stick to his original intention.
What is ironic is that despite the notoriety of "coveting the property of the elderly" and "greedy woman", Zhang Xinru has never expressed the slightest dissatisfaction or complaint. On the contrary, she supported this controversial relationship with consistent affection, and her love for Emperor Zhang has never wavered.
The long wait finally ushered in the dawn of hope. After 4 years of hard work, Emperor Zhang finally won the understanding and blessing of his daughter and relatives and friends in 2009, and officially entered the palace of marriage with Zhang Xinru, who was 33 years younger than him.
This couple, who have a huge age difference, overcame the prejudices of society with sincere emotions and firmly embarked on their own life journeys. Soon after marriage, Emperor Zhang was happy to crystallize his love with Zhang Xinru in his old age, and the family of three shared the joy of family.
Time flies, but love can give people the power to return to youth. After marriage, Emperor Zhang seems to be full of new vitality, even at the age of 67, he is still energetic and energetic.
He frequently appeared in first-line popular variety shows such as "Avenue of Stars" and "Everyday Upward", laughing and mingling with young people, with a shining demeanor.
recalled that at the beginning, in order to pursue his music dream, Emperor Zhang was opposed by his family and questioned by the society. Today, he has won admirable reputations such as "King of Folk Singers" and "Evergreen in the Art World".
In the early 90s of the last century, Mr. Zhang Di was fortunate to be invited by Tanglong Art Company to set foot on the land of Chinese mainland and participate in many meaningful charity performances, such as sending assistance to the people affected by floods in East China and helping the development of poverty alleviation in Shanxi Province, all of which fully demonstrated his deep-rooted image of being close to the people.
In addition to his brilliant achievements in the field of music, Mr. Zhang Di has done his best to impart music knowledge to his fans without reservation, which has won warm appreciation from the audience.
With great patience and care, he always answers all kinds of music theory questions for his fans, and also demonstrates how to use his voice skills skillfully.
With the passage of time, the noble title of "King of Eager Singers" has taken deep roots in the hearts of the majority of fans.
It is precisely because of his extraordinary industriousness and studious spirit and outstanding improvisation talent that Mr. Zhang Di has successfully staged more than 1,000 performances in just ten years.
Even during such a busy period as the first Hokkien Song Competition, he was still able to complete eight high-intensity performances in one day, totaling more than 2,000 performances, an impressive record that has not been broken to this day, and Mr. Zhang Di has undoubtedly become the most diligent singer in the Chinese music scene.
Although the road of life is full of twists and turns, as long as we have firm faith and move forward bravely, we will eventually be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. Mr. Zhang Di used his life to perfectly interpret this profound philosophy of life.
From being forced to leave home to start living independently, to finally gaining the understanding and support of relatives and friends; went from working as a waiter in a song hall in obscurity to quickly becoming popular overnight and becoming a "king of eager singers...... His perseverance and unwavering dedication to his music career have combined to write a legendary chapter in his life.
