Back then, she was the superstar of the music industry who was loved by countless fans, and every time she performed a concert, fans poured in like a tide of joy to welcome their relatives, and the atmosphere was magnificent to the extreme. However, time flies, and Xu Meijing, the "Queen of Love Songs" who was respected by people in the past, is now wandering around alone, wandering in the streets and alleys, no one pays attention, the former glory has long since ceased to exist, and the glory of the past can no longer find traces in her.
Let's turn back the clock and go back to her most glorious years. In 1998, her single "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain" swept the country, and her singing voice penetrated layers of obstacles and spread throughout Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, becoming an eternal classic. That year, she was Singapore's brightest star, a much-loved diva-level singer.
However, who would have expected that this flower, which once bloomed so brilliantly, is now facing such a tragic end. Her life trajectory is like a trick of fate, falling from the peak to the bottom in an instant, and finally becoming a "madman" in the eyes of passers-by.
Xu Meijing's musical career began with a talent show. Although her performance in the competition was not outstanding, she was discovered by the talented songwriter Chen Jiaming. Chen Jiaming did not hesitate to invite her to join his record label and serve as her mentor.
Under the careful guidance of Chen Jiaming, Xu Meijing's singing skills have been continuously improved, and her career is also thriving. In 1998, after becoming an instant hit with the single "Regret", she stood alone in the world and had a bright future. A few years later, she released the album "Listen to the Wonderful Thirteen", which topped the charts for three consecutive weeks, which is a miracle in the music industry.
Looking back, she was the only queen of the music world and the center of attention. Who would have thought that this diva, who is known as a rare singing genius in a century, is now so depressed that she can only wander alone on the streets.
However, just as Xu Meijing's career was climbing to a peak, a relationship entanglement completely changed the trajectory of her fate. The culprit of all this stems from the special feelings she has for her mentor Chen Jiaming. At first, she only regarded Chen Jiaming as her mentor, with admiration and gratitude.
However, through a close and fiery process of cooperation, a fiery emotion called "love" is quietly growing in her heart.
She longed for a deeper connection with her esteemed predecessor, and even came up with the idea of confiding all her secrets to him. However, Chen Jiaming did not perceive these subtle emotions, because he had already become a man with a heart in the ocean of marriage.
When Chen Jiaming realized Xu Meijing's deep affection for him, he decisively chose to keep an appropriate distance from her to prevent possible misunderstandings. Since then, their relationship has become delicate and complex, adding a touch of alienation and awkwardness.
Ironically, despite the growing personal relationship, collaboration in the field of work is still in full swing and has yielded remarkable results. In 1999, Xu Meijing released a new music album, one of which subtly portrayed the story of her secret love for Chen Jiaming in a clever way, which aroused heated discussion and speculation from all walks of life.
At the same time, rumors about whether there was an ambiguous relationship between her and her mentor intensified in the outside world. Someone even released a video of her having a heated argument with Chen Jiaming in a drunken state.
In the video, she questioned Chen Jiaming's emotional and confused words as she couldn't accept her sincerity, and her tone was full of grief and despair. This has undoubtedly deepened the gap and sense of alienation between them.
Just when this relationship was in trouble, the famous singer Li Zongsheng generously extended a helping hand and sincerely invited her to go to Taiwan to develop her career. It was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but she was hesitant to make an immediate decision because she couldn't let go of that ethereal and hopeless relationship.
One day a few months later, a shocking piece of news finally arrived. Chen Jiaming suddenly announced that he would divorce his wife and promised to give Xu Meijing an official status! These words undoubtedly brought her great comfort and hope, and she rekindled her desire for love, as if she saw the dawn of happiness ahead.
However, how could she have expected that this was a trap and scam carefully arranged by Chen Jiaming! After a long and painful six years, she finally came to her senses and found that the man who had vowed to divorce had never fulfilled his promise, and that his marriage with his wife had not been shaken in the slightest, but had treated her like a doll, and was happy to play the most cruel game of fraud.
suffered such a heavy blow, Xu Meijing fell into the abyss of mental breakdown and could not extricate herself. She began to isolate herself, cutting herself off from all contact with the outside world, locking herself in a lonely and gloomy world.
Looking back on Xu Meijing's past, we can see that she was not from a famous family, and her family background is not wealthy. She was born in an ordinary family, and her parents supported the life of the whole family through hard work, and the family background was not rich.
However, despite her poor family, her parents still attached great importance to her education and hoped that knowledge would change her destiny. They set very high ideals and expectations for Xu Meijing.
Perhaps it is precisely because of her admiration and expectation for her parents that Xu Meijing has been diligent and studious since she was a child, has excellent grades, and is well-behaved and sensible, which has won the love and praise of her parents. At that time, she was like a lovely little princess, a treasure in the hearts of her parents.
However, life turning points are always unexpected. After graduating from high school, Xu Meijing became interested in a beauty pageant and decided to give it a try on impulse.
This decision completely changed the course of her life.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly uneventful competition would become the starting point of her musical dreams. Although her performance in the competition was not very outstanding, she was favored by songwriter Chen Jiaming at a glance.
This seasoned musician sees in her an innate talent and is convinced that with systematic training, she will shine.
Therefore, in the face of the opposition of many judges, Chen Jiaming firmly invited Xu Meijing to join the record company he founded as her mentor. For Xu Meijing, this is undoubtedly an unexpected joy, and it is also a life opportunity that she never imagined.
However, while Xu Meijing devoted herself to artistic creation, her emotional life was also mired in a quagmire. The twists and turns of the emotional journey laid the groundwork for his subsequent fate.
Just when she had just broken free from Chen Jiaming's deception and was physically and mentally exhausted, a new generation of Hong Kong singers named Yuen Yiu-fat quietly walked into her life.
At first, Yuen Yiu-fat was full of admiration for Xu Meijing, a senior in the music industry, with a humble and respectful attitude, and took care of her meticulously. Under his careful care, Xu Meijing, who had just struggled out of emotional trauma, gradually regained her confidence in life, and a deep emotional bond was also nurtured between the two.
However, when Yuan Yaofa's career encountered difficulties, he poured all his anger and dissatisfaction on Xu Meijing, and the relationship between the two appeared irreparable.
What's worse is that at this critical moment, Chen Jiaming, the "old lover" who had hurt her, resurfaced and expressed the hope that they could work together again.
Faced with Chen Jiaming's challenge, Xu Meijing chose to bear it silently. In order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, she decided to meet Chen Jiaming alone, and concealed the facts, without revealing the slightest news to Yuan Yaofa.
However, all this was finally known to Yuan Yaofa, who was furious and resolutely decided to cut off contact with Xu Meijing. As a result, she fell into a low point in her life again, and her emotions suffered an unprecedented blow.
In the face of tremendous pressure, her emotions gradually spiraled out of control, and she once hesitated in a hotel room and tried to end her life by suicide. On that day, she was extremely emotional, shouting loudly in the room, behaving strangely, and even breaking into the rooms of other guests, causing an uproar, and was finally discovered by the staff in time and called the police, and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
After a detailed examination at the hospital, a shocking fact was finally revealed - Xu Meijing suffered from severe schizophrenia and depression and had to be hospitalized for long-term treatment.
During her hospitalization, her mental condition fluctuated, and she often experienced symptoms such as auditory and visual hallucinations, and even mistakenly believed that she could see relatives who had died.
Doctors say these are typical manifestations of mental illness and require medication and psychological counseling to gradually recover health.
After a long night, after countless painful and torturous treatment periods, her condition was finally initially controlled and somewhat relieved. However, her life has been deeply scarred and cannot be erased, and her future has been forced to go in a completely different direction because of this disease.
After being discharged from the hospital, Xu Meijing bravely publicly announced that she would return to the music scene and pursue her most glorious time. However, reality has taken her back and forth – she will never be able to create the same new works that are loved by the masses as she used to.
Since 2007, the performance of her new albums and new singles in the market has gradually declined, and few people have paid attention to it. In order to maintain public attention, she can only reluctantly rely on covers of her classic old songs to survive on stage.
Now, this middle-aged "former diva" is like her back then. She was once known as the "Queen of Love Songs" and attracted much attention, but now she is haggard and dull-eyed, and it has long been difficult to evoke people's good memories of her youth.
"I really don't recognize her at all." A netizen who used to be a loyal fan of hers lamented on social media, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the person in this close-up shot was actually my idol when I was young." ”
Another fan said: "We can all deeply understand and understand her current predicament, but at the same time, we are extremely sad about it. She was supposed to have a more dazzling and wonderful life, but unfortunately suffered so many setbacks and tribulations, fate was too cruel to her. ”
From some amateur street photography videos circulating on the Internet, we can clearly see that today's Xu Meijing has lost her former style. Her hair is scattered, her steps are hurried, her expression is tired and slightly sluggish, and she has long since lost the charming and moving stage image she had at her peak.
The long-term use of therapeutic drugs has undoubtedly exacerbated her physical and mental attrition. In the video, we can see her faltering and difficult steps, as well as the feeling of burnout that cannot be concealed.
Her figure has also changed dramatically compared to the past, and she looks very thin and weak.
All in all, today's Xu Meijing is very different from the "diva" who was held by the stars back then! Her face is no longer what it used to be, and it is even harder for fans to feel the sparkle from her.
Back then, she was as brilliant as the most brilliant diamond in the sky over Singapore; Today, however, this once-dominant gemstone has long since lost its luster and eclipsed. Only with the faint light in memory to trace those glorious days.
