He used his own life course to vividly interpret the power of dreams.
However, the path of life is not always sunny. Just when Mao Ning's career was in full swing and he was highly respected, fate carefully planned a series of severe life tests for him, like a heavy punch, ruthlessly knocking him down from the peak.
In 1994, in order to better take care of Mao Ning's daily life, his parents moved from their distant hometown in Liaoning to Guangzhou. At that time, Mao Ning was full of joy, thinking that he could live a carefree life from now on and devote himself to his career.
Back then, who would have foreseen that in the same year, his loving mother would die of a heart attack, this shocking news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Mao Ning immersed in deep pain and couldn't extricate himself.
The father, who lost his beloved partner, was deeply grieved, unable to bear the pain of losing his wife and endless longing, and also passed away in just one year. Mao Ning experienced such a heavy family change in a short period of time, and the blow of the death of his parents one after another made him disheartened, and his nostalgia for his hometown became stronger and stronger.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in 1995, Mao Ning's longing for his hometown has been irrepressible, he resolutely decided to leave Guangzhou, go north to the capital Beijing to seek development opportunities, hoping to open a new chapter of life in this land.
However, fate did not seem to favor this suffering young man, and shortly after arriving in Beijing, a terrible nightmare befell him again and ruthlessly.
In 2000, he was attacked by an unidentified gangster in front of a well-known hotel in Beijing, and was stabbed three times and bled all over the ground. At the critical moment of life and death, Mao Ning was quickly sent to the hospital for first aid and fortunately saved his life.
However, just as his wounds had not healed, even more cruel news came again. While Mao Ning was hospitalized for treatment, a man claiming to be his "boyfriend" suddenly appeared, released intimate photos of the two, and maliciously spread "homosexual" rumors between them.
Overnight, this rumor hit Mao Ning hard in the heart like a heavy punch, making him almost fall into the abyss of despair.
Since then, rumors of his homosexuality have spread everywhere, and Mao Ning's reputation and public image have suffered serious damage, and his career has fallen into an unprecedented trough.
, a once shining top singer, fell into the darkest period of his life.
Part 4: Drug Arrests: Careers hit rock bottom
After experiencing a series of major setbacks in his life, such as a broken family, a threat to his life, and a heavy emotional blow, Mao Ning's career finally ushered in the dawn of recovery. In 2015, at the age of 47, he began to actively participate in various music and variety shows, such as "In My Singing", "Music Master Class", etc., trying to rekindle the glory of the past with all his might.
However, at this challenging and critical juncture, an even more brutal blow came as expected. In the early morning of November 27, 2015, according to the report of enthusiastic citizens, the Chaoyang District police made a decisive attack and arrested a 47-year-old male suspect on the spot.
The reason for all this is not untraceable! It turned out that Mao Ning, the superstar of the music industry that year, was revealed to be suspected of taking methamphetamine, an extremely serious illegal drug. Although he was released only one day after the incident, this incident hit him fatally, instantly plunging his career as a singer into a catastrophe.
Overnight, Mao Ning, the bright star who was once a household name and appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala eight times, was once again involved in the center of the storm of public opinion. All his efforts and hopes to regain his strength were completely destroyed by this sudden disaster.
Since 2016, the former superstar of the music industry seems to have evaporated from the world and completely disappeared from the public eye.
Looking back at the glorious years of the past, Mao Ning, who is now over half a hundred years old, can only rely on participating in various commercial performances and singing for the rich to survive. Some netizens even witnessed him being hugged and teased by the rich in public, and the disheartened scene was really embarrassing.
The classic melody of the popular song "The Moon Falls and the Waves Cry Still" seems to be mercilessly mocking the life situation of this frustrated singer. The glory of the past has dissipated like a cloud, and the entire music industry has turned a blind eye to him.
In this way, this once smash hit top singer has exchanged decades of hard work for today's decadent life.
