1. The legendary story of the dream girl
Six hundred and thirty-one exciting texts depict the vivid image of the queen of the music world who was popular in the eighties and nineties of the last century. In fact, Cheng Fangyuan showed extraordinary literary and artistic talent as early as his childhood.
This girl, who was born in a family of Beijing film studio workers, spent her carefree childhood in the Beijing Film Compound, which is full of artistic atmosphere.
Under the influence of such an environment, Cheng Fangyuan has developed a strong interest in the joys and sorrows of those black-and-white movies, and has a longing heart, looking forward to the day when these emotions can be delicately expressed through music.
When she was eight or nine years old, due to special reasons, Cheng Fangyuan went to her uncle's house in Shanxi to stay and study. It was there that she first came into contact with the propaganda team and experienced the magic of music for the first time.
However, it wasn't long before an episode changed the course of her life forever: she accidentally discovered that the boy she wanted was proficient in erhu playing, so she decided to teach herself the ancient instrument.
After several aunts learned of this, they generously donated money and scraped together 6 yuan to buy an erhu for her.
When the boy found out, he offered to teach her the art. In this love story full of mystery and romance, Cheng Fangyuan not only learned the erhu, but also began to take root in his heart.
The youthful Cheng Fangyuan is full of enthusiasm for love. Whenever she meets someone she likes, she always confesses without hesitation, and conveys her sincere feelings with singing and handwritten love letters.
By chance, she admired Min Huifen's superb erhu performance skills, and was determined to become the next Min Huifen.
Lady Luck finally favored this affectionate and studious girl, and she was successfully admitted to the Central Orchestra with her outstanding performance, and became a proud disciple of the famous erhu player Li Guyi.
However, at this moment, another important turning point quietly came - Cheng Fangyuan accidentally listened to a touching pop music, the beautiful melody and moving lyrics deeply touched her heart, made her feel as if she was in a new world, and she gradually indulged in the unique charm of pop music.
Since then, whether it is a Chinese song or a foreign song, as long as Cheng Fangyuan listens to it once, he can remember it. In order to realize her dream of becoming a pop music singer, she resolutely gave up the opportunity to continue her studies in the orchestra and chose to join the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and embarked on her own musical path.
2. A wonderful chapter in the life of music
After Cheng Fangyuan stepped into the field of music, her dreams gradually blossomed like stars in her life journey. In 1982, the talented singer released his first solo album "Cheng Fangyuan Solo Album", which immediately swept the city and won the love of countless fans.
Only four years later, in 1986, Cheng Fangyuan stood on the bright stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, singing classic songs such as "I Think More" and "Pursuit" with an affectionate and moving voice, which instantly caused a sensation across the country and became a household name pop superstar, and at the same time strengthened her determination to devote herself to the pop music career.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, in 1994, Cheng Fangyuan successfully held the first solo concert of singers in the mainland "Blue Style" in the capital Beijing, creating a new era of solo concerts.
Four years later, in 1998, she boldly adapted the classic film "The Sound of Music" and put it on the stage, successfully creating China's first large-scale musical, which can be called fruitful.
The singing career is booming, but for Cheng Fangyuan, the meaning of music is far from being as simple as career achievements. She has a unique passion for music and sees it as the best vehicle to express the various aspects of life.
For example, in 2009, she launched the music video collection "All the Way", which vividly displayed what she had seen and heard in more than 40 countries she had traveled to in front of the audience through the ingenious integration of video and music, fully demonstrating a musician's endless love for all things in life.
In 2021, Cheng Fangyuan's music and dance epic movie "Struggle, Chinese Sons and Daughters" also won warm praise from the audience. It is no exaggeration to say that music has been deeply imprinted on every page of her life, but what she conveys through music goes far beyond the realm of skill and achievement.
It's more about the scenery, family affection, thoughts, and philosophies in life...... All the joys, sorrows and sorrows are poured out through music, composing ordinary life into wonderful movements.
3. Romantic feelings
For Cheng Fangyuan, pursuing a romantic lifestyle is an eternal desire in her heart. Fascinated by the art of photography, she has focused her lens on beautiful landscapes around the world, leaving cherished memories of her never-ending romantic journeys.
Those beautiful photos that recorded the myriad weather and cultural customs of nature were carefully selected and edited by her to form a romantic collection of music and videos "All the Way Style".
Through the dual testimony of video and music, it tells the story of a person who is persistent in the pursuit of music and unswerving in his commitment to a romantic lifestyle.
This is another touching story that highlights Cheng Fangyuan's rich romantic feelings, and that is her deep fascination with handwritten letters. In today's era of rapid technological change and ubiquitous electronic products, people tend to rely on electronic devices to achieve reading and writing tasks.
However, Cheng Fangyuan has always adhered to her love for traditional paper, and whenever she receives a sincere handwritten letter from a fan, she will carefully savor it as if she had found a treasure, especially those works with warm words and delicate penmanship, and even personally pick up a pen to reply to the letter, in order to express her respect for this romantic feeling.
This persistent pursuit of handwriting romance may stem from her strong literary and artistic atmosphere at the Beijing Film Academy, but the deeper reason is her endless yearning for romantic life in her heart.
This deep romantic feeling is also reflected in Cheng Fangyuan's incomparable cherishing of family affection. When her mother was sick, she always waited by the bedside, taking care of her mother with all her heart, just to spend more good time with her.
When her mother finally passed away, Cheng Fangyuan deeply felt the pain of missing one-thousandth of the pain in order to vent the pain of this family affection, she created a touching song for her late mother - "Miss Death", and on Mother's Day, she sang with tears on the stage, showing this deep friendship to the fullest.
After the loss of her mother, she cherished every moment she spent with her lonely father even more. Cheng Fangyuan always accompanies his father as much as possible, whether playing the guitar, singing touching songs, or listening to his father tell the bits and pieces of the past, using music and romance to convey his deep love for this loved one who once occupied an important place in his life.
4. Emotional freedom
Cheng Fangyuan is an extremely open and free woman who treats feelings. In her conception, love and marriage are two very different concepts: love comes from a sincere touch of the heart and is not bound by any worldly rules; Marriage, on the other hand, is the institutional framework in real life.
As a result, despite her two failed marriages, she was able to be honest about her new relationship and never felt inferior or self-deprecating because of her past divorce experiences.
Looking back at Ms. Cheng Fangyuan's first marriage, it is regrettable that this marriage ended after only a short period of one year. At the time, however, she showed a very different attitude, explaining: "Divorce is not a symbol of failure, nor is divorce not an event full of pain and hatred, but a better outcome like a bird bound in a cage regaining its freedom to soar into the sky." In the face of public skepticism, she frankly shared her belief that "love has no rules" outlook on life, and successfully eliminated almost all objections.
Years later, Cheng Fangyuan met and fell in love with Mr. Wang Gang, a very popular Chinese host, and finally achieved a happy marriage.
However, this marriage still attracted widespread attention, especially noteworthy Wang Gang was a full 12 years older than Cheng Fangyuan, despite facing many doubts, Cheng Fangyuan still firmly adhered to his personal beliefs, confidently emphasized the theory that "love has no rules", and finally succeeded in convincing everyone, so that the opposition gradually turned into applause of blessings.
In his married life, Cheng Fangyuan fully demonstrated his free-spirited personality. As a woman who pursues living space and independence, she devotes a lot of time to her career and personal hobbies, and is not overly attached to family chores.
While Wang Gang expected her to take on the responsibilities of the family, Cheng Fangyuan chose to devote more energy to music creation and global travel, and the disagreement between the two gradually intensified, eventually leading to the end of the marriage.
