From an artistic family to an upstart in the 90s
When it comes to Xie Xiaodong, no one is a stranger. As one of the hottest singers of the 90s, he can be described as a pop music that swept an entire era. However, Xie Xiaodong's road to fame was not smooth, and he used his tenacity and hard work to reach the peak of his life step by step.
Xie Xiaodong was born in 1968 and his hometown is in Bengbu, Anhui Province. He has lived in an artistic family since he was a child, and his parents are authentic "descendants of an artistic family". Influenced by his family, Xie Xiaodong has been full of love for art since he was a child, and at the age of 12, he entered the Anhui Art School to study vocal music and dance.
To be honest, Xie Xiaodong didn't expect that he would become a superstar in the music world in the future. His original dream was to become a dancer, but unfortunately due to injury, he had to quit the dance major and focus on vocal music instead.
In 1988, 20-year-old Xie Xiaodong came to Vanity Fair in Beijing alone with his own dream. As a child who has had a strong interest in art since he was a child, Xie Xiaodong's life in Beijing was poor and fulfilling. During the day, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and at night he practiced singing in an art school, and so on day after day.
In 1990, Xie Xiaodong participated in the sensational "Youth Song Competition" draft, and won the championship in the finals in one fell swoop with his unique voice and outstanding appearance. Youthful, handsome appearance, and moving singing voice, Xie Xiaodong is simply a perfect newcomer trump card.
Since then, Xie Xiaodong's career has risen like an unparalleled rocket. In 1991, he was selected to appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time, starting an indissoluble love affair with the Spring Festival Gala for more than ten years. In the next few years, Xie Xiaodong can be said to be popular half the sky, participated in countless large-scale activities, and record sales are also rising.
By 1995, the 28-year-old Xie Xiaodong's career had initially opened up. At the same time, Xie Xiaodong also gained his own love, married the beautiful singer Yu Jiaen, and gave birth to a lovely son "Niu Niu" two years later. In this way, Xie Xiaodong seems to have the whole world, a successful career and a happy family, and he can be called a well-deserved "winner in life".
No one thought that at this peak, Xie Xiaodong would fall into a trough in his life...
The glory is followed by the trough
After entering 2000, with the continuous emergence of newcomers, Xie Xiaodong's popularity and status in the music industry began to decline gradually. What's even more terrifying is that due to the failure of his previous business investment, his personal financial situation is also in trouble. Friends and family around him are gradually drifting away, and even the closest lovers are beginning to feel alienated.
In this way, Xie Xiaodong, who is only 35 years old, is on the verge of the bottom of his life. In 2003, under the persuasion of his wife Yu Jiaen, he announced that he would completely quit the music scene and planned to start a new life in the shopping mall.
But who would have thought that after Xie Xiaodong entered the business sea, not only did he not turn things around, but fell into an even more embarrassing situation. First, the mobile phone business went all the way, and then lost tens of millions of family properties due to blind investment in the real estate field. Most desperately, this time his wife did not forgive him, and the relationship between the two broke down almost completely.
Under this double blow of family and career, Xie Xiaodong fell into the quagmire of depression, depressed all day long, and drinking and sleeping became his only sustenance. Friends say that the high-spirited national idol back then has become a depressed and depressed middle-aged man who has lost confidence in life.
Just when life fell into the most desperate, Xie Xiaodong's wife Yu Jiaen stretched out her hand again. Ignoring Xie Xiaodong's refusal, she dragged him out of her home and signed up for a variety dance reality show.
Unexpectedly, although he was over 35 years old, Xie Xiaodong passed all the way in the show, and finally won the championship of the year in one fell swoop! This undoubtedly gave him the courage and motivation to start over. Since then, Xie Xiaodong has finally regained his sight and rekindled his love for life.
Regrouped, the transformation of the enterprise was successful
Xie Xiaodong, who cleared the haze, with the support and encouragement of his wife, decisively gave up the previous failed trade route and founded a cultural company in 2007, specializing in cultural planning and event operation. At the beginning, many people were worried about this new company, but Xie Xiaodong relied on the network resources and execution accumulated over the years to make the company bigger and stronger step by step.
In 2018, Xie Xiaodong's company was successfully listed on the New Third Board, and he finally realized his dream of being worth more than 100 million yuan. In this way, a man who fell from the altar of the music world and was once on the verge of a desperate situation in his life, relying on his tenacious struggle and the support of his wife, finally regained the pinnacle of life.
Now 53-year-old Xie Xiaodong has completely let go of his former dream of glory, and will no longer repeat the mistakes of the business world. He focused all his energy on his wife and children, depended on his family, and was a low-key boss who stayed away from the flash. But what's interesting is that Xie Xiaodong is occasionally invited to sing one or two songs at some large-scale CCTV galas to supplement the audience's memories of the year.
The support of the wife cannot be ignored
Xie Xiaodong's life experience is certainly wonderful, but his most valuable wealth comes from his wife Yu Jiaen's unwavering support for him. It is with her companionship and support that Xie Xiaodong can regain his courage when he is frustrated and find his life direction again in the trough.
Looking back on the love history of Xie Xiaodong and Yu Jiaen, the acquaintance of the two began in 1992 at a Sino-Japanese song party. At that time, Xie Xiaodong was already famous, and Yu Jiaen was an unknown rookie singer. In my impression, when Xie Xiaodong first met Yu Jiaen, he was attracted by her clean and simple temperament. The two soon met and fell into the sweet atmosphere of love.
In 1995, after many years of love, Xie Xiaodong finally proposed to Yu Jiaen, and the two achieved positive results and tied the knot in Beijing. In the second year, they ushered in a small crystallization of life - the birth of their son "Niu Niu", and the family of three was happy.
At that time, Xie Xiaodong's career was at its peak, and he was full of thoughts about being filial to his parents. So he took his elderly parents to Beijing to rely on each other, and lived happily. As a daughter-in-law, Yu Jiaen, although she gave up her career to serve her in-laws wholeheartedly, she never complained, but went all out to keep the family in order.
It wasn't until Xie Xiaodong was hit by the defeat of the business and the breakdown of his family that Yu Jiaen showed a short period of anger and incomprehension. But soon, she reached out again, and with her love and understanding, she grabbed her crumbling husband and helped him find the direction of his life again.
It is with the support and tolerance of Yu Jiaen, a virtuous helper, that Xie Xiaodong can rise again after falling to the bottom, and finally realize the counterattack in life. Now he is past the age of knowing his destiny, and he has been with his wife for 27 years, living a low-key and happy life.
end
Everyone hopes that they can have a lover-like companion in their lives, support and encourage each other in the good and bad times of life, and get through the difficult years together.
Just like Xie Xiaodong, a former national idol, although his life was full of ups and downs and glory to the bottom, he finally regained his glory because of his wife's support. This poetic marriage undoubtedly gave this veteran of the music world the final meaning and belonging.
