In the midst of this wave of popular music, the National Young Singer TV Grand Prix (hereinafter referred to as the "Youth Song Competition") was born at the right time and quickly rose into a high-profile singer selection event.

Each edition of the Youth Song Contest has attracted countless young people with musical dreams to actively participate. They come from all over the world, some are the elite backbone of literary and artistic groups, some are unknown amateur singers, and some are just devoting themselves to it because of their love for music.
However, they all have great expectations for the future and are eager to make their mark on this top stage and win the national finals and be among the top three.
The process of the game can be described as ups and downs and exciting. Players will first compete fiercely in each sub-division, and only those who perform well will be eligible to advance to the national finals.

Every year, those who step down from the stage of the Youth Song Contest are batches of the most outstanding musicians. They performed the most popular songs of the time with their moving voices, and won the warm love and wide attention of the audience.
As a result, many contestants became famous overnight, quickly became household names as star singers, and started their own brilliant careers.
Time flies, and decades have passed quietly in the blink of an eye. Those singers who once shined on the stage of the Youth Song Contest now have their own merits.
Looking back on the brilliant era of pop music and recalling the dazzling figures in the Youth Song Contest back then, people can't help but sigh and sigh at the unpredictability of life. The fates of these singers are different, which is a vivid portrayal of life.
They have touched us with their songs, and now they have written the unique melody of life with their own life experiences.

3. The fates of Sun Yue and Zhang Mi are intertwined: they were once a smash hit, but they parted ways for various reasons
On the stage of the Youth Song Competition, Sun Yue and Zhang Mi are both eye-catching bright stars. It is an undoubted fact that they are extremely powerful and are regarded by everyone as the leaders of the future entertainment industry.
However, the tricks of fate have led them to two very different paths in life.
Sun Yue was a little-known literary soldier in his early years, and it was not until he won the bronze medal in the popular group of the 5th Youth Song Competition that his brilliant musical journey officially set sail.
However, in the early days of his acting career, he always wandered between well-known singers and unknown people, and ordinary and ordinary years passed by.
Until the work "Peace to You" came out, everything changed like a roller coaster! The song is popular all over the country, whether it is in front of the TV or in the streets, people can hear this uplifting melody.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yue has since become famous, known as a well-known diva, and major gorgeous stages and variety shows have also become the focus of attention on her radiant stage, and her acting career has climbed to the peak However, who would have expected that at this glorious peak, a well-planned scam pushed her to the lowest point of her life.
It turned out that her agent not only embezzled her savings for many years, but even took all these properties for himself. By the time Sun Yue realized the truth, she was penniless, and she couldn't even afford the costs of the lawsuit.
Fortunately, in the end, she met a self-made business elite, and the two tied the knot, and Sun Yue's life was full of sunshine again.
In stark contrast to this is another actress, Zhang Mi. She won the first prize in the 4th Youth Song Competition, and her career soared, and she quickly became a popular little flower. However, at the peak of her career, a dispute plunged her into the whirlpool of public opinion, and her career took a sharp turn for the worse.
For the long time that followed, Zhang Mi lived a life of poverty. She has traveled overseas to seek development and tried to work as a model, but she has never been able to escape the predicament. It wasn't until her daughter participated in the talent show that she re-entered the entertainment industry, and Zhang Mi finally found a trace of comfort in her later years.
Her daughter's happiness and well-being may be the most precious gift that God has given her.
From the once brilliant career suffered a setback, to later reduced to a street artist, a poor family, and then re-engaged in her career, Zhang Mi's life experience can be described as magnificent. The trajectories of her and Sun Yue's intertwined trajectories are intertwined, with both similarities and significant differences, vividly illustrating the rapid changes in this industry.
Fourth, Wei Wei and Hang Tianqi: The new life led by the Youth Song Contest is also full of challenges
For Wei Wei and Hang Tianqi, the Youth Song Contest is like a door to a new world, which brings them unprecedented opportunities and opens a new chapter in their lives.
It is sad that the two talented artists also encountered the merciless tricks of fate on the road to the temple of music.
Wei Wei, a talented woman, has a high love for music since she was a child, embarked on the road of music at the age of 6, and appeared on the stage for the first time at the age of 8 to show her talent.
Her talent is amazing, and she devotes most of her energy to singing, both in school and outside of school.
In 1986, Wei Wei was only 23 years old at that time, but he won the runner-up of the Youth Song Competition with his outstanding performance. This impressive result opened the door to the world of music, and it has been a smooth journey ever since.
Since then, Wei Wei has risen rapidly and become a well-known singer. She participated in the concert of the top 100 singers at that time, and was awarded the highest honor of the national first-class actor.
In the following years, Wei Wei was frequently active on the stage of various commercial performances, became famous, and became the focus of attention.
However, just as her career is in full swing, her love life is in trouble. Her married life with the Swedish pianist could not be sustained, and the former affection gradually dissipated, leaving only indifference and disgust.
In the end, they chose to break up, and Wei Wei returned to her homeland alone with her children and started her musical journey again. However, time has changed, and she can no longer recreate the glory of the past.
Another artist with a similar fate to Wei Wei is Hang Tianqi. Born into a musical family, she has been part of the school's literary and artistic propaganda team since she was 6 years old, showing extraordinary talent in singing and dancing.
Later, she was successfully admitted to the Conservatory of Music, and her first album attracted widespread attention as soon as it came out, and she became a popular figure on campus. During her college years, she participated in the Youth Song Competition and won the Silver Award, and was known as the youngest first-class actor in the country.
However, Hang Tianqi's married life was not all smooth sailing. She went through two failed marriages, the first with an older musician and the second with a partner who was 13 years her junior.
These two marriages brought her endless pain and blows, and even if she gave birth to children, she could not save this marriage. However, fortunately, although she has lost her former glory, she has also lived an ordinary and quiet life.
Past glory: Man Wenjun and Chen Rujia went to the top of glory together
From becoming famous and reaching the top of the Youth Song Competition, to the difficulties of both career and family, and even the trough of life, their life trajectories are full of drama like a big drama, depicting the ups and downs of the industry.
However, in the end, they all chose to let go of the past, enjoy the present, and write their own moving chapters with ordinary lives.
5. Man Wenjun and Chen Rujia: The impermanence of fate is like a dream
For Man Wenjun and Chen Rujia, the Youth Song Contest is like a dream-like encounter, which seems beautiful, but in fact it is ethereal. It gives them a moment of glory, but in the blink of an eye, it pushes them to the bottom of their lives.
The tricks of fate make their life experiences completely different, but they seem to have been predestined.
Man Wenjun was originally an unknown rural boy who relied on working on construction sites to earn a living for others. However, by chance, the composer discovered his unique voice and temperament, and generously presented him with the song "Understanding You" to audition.
Although Man Wenjun didn't know anything about staves, with his loud singing voice, he successfully won the gold medal in the 6th Youth Song Competition, thus starting his brilliant music career.
Born in poverty, he became a household name overnight. His career is in full swing, his wife cares for him, the two rely on each other, and the happiness of growing old together is close at hand.
However, who would have expected that just as his career was climbing to its peak, the Manchu Wenjun would be imprisoned for being involved in illegal acts. Since then, he has fallen to the lowest point in his life.
His wife left him with the children and abandoned him completely. Having lost the support of his family and career, the Manchu army became decadent. Now, at the age of more than half a hundred, he is thin and thin, and his previous image is like two people.
All the glory is like an illusory dream, leaving only endless regrets and nostalgia in the depths of my heart.
Diametrically opposed to the fate of the Manchu Wenjun was Chen Rujia, who only won the gold medal in the amateur group at that time. Although the awards were not conspicuous, the singles released after his debut were still hot, and even spent a brief period of glory days.
It's just that this popularity only lasted for a few years, and Chen Rujia died young and could never return to the stage to show her style.
The lives of the two are quite dramatic, and people can't help but sigh "the dream that will not come again in the prime of life, and will flow away overnight". The ruthlessness and cruelty of fate have never flinched from beginning to end, and it is this ever-changing impermanence that gives life irreplaceable meaning and value.
They used their real experience to write their own life legend.
6. The ill-fated fate of the singers of the Youth Song Contest is a vivid depiction of life
Looking back at the singers who once shined on the stage of the Youth Song Competition, their current situation can be described as very different, which makes people feel the impermanence of life.
Some people, like Cai Guoqing, have made great progress all the way, with a bumper harvest in their careers and families, and have lived a happy and happy life in their old age. When he was young, he was awarded the national first-class actor by virtue of his outstanding talent and good interpersonal relationships, and was active on major stages on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong and Macao.
In his later years, he finally entered the marriage hall, had children, and lived a comfortable and peaceful life.
However, on the other hand, Man Wenjun and Chen Rujia weave very different life trajectories. Manchu Wenjun was originally just an ordinary person from the countryside, but after becoming popular overnight, he quickly encountered the tricks of fate, and finally fell into a low point in his life, and now he is alone and scarred.
Although Chen Rujia only won the amateur group award, she was also a smash hit, but unfortunately died young and could never regain her former glory.
From the pinnacle of their careers to the ruin of their families, from radiant to obscure, the ill-fated lives of these singers reflect the unique imprint of life. Fate sometimes strikes people unexpectedly, and sometimes it ignites a spark of hope in the darkest of moments.
They used their own life history to compose the moving music of this era.
