Feverish tears filled her with her affectionate nostalgia for her benefactor, and what had been quietly precipitated by the years was a deep attachment to the sincere emotions in life. On that glorious day on February 23, 2022, the famous singer Li Jian, whom we admire, brought a shocking audio-visual feast to countless music fans in the form of an online live concert.
And this event, for Mao Amin, who has not appeared in public for a long time, is even more significant, although her body is slightly thinner than before, but her whole mental outlook is still full of vitality.
On that day, Mao Amin wore a flawless white shirt, a pair of elegant black trousers, a pair of comfortable sneakers, and a neat ponytail added to her youthful atmosphere.
With such a simple and unpretentious and generous image, she appeared in front of the camera in the live broadcast room.
Sitting next to Mao Amin is the high-profile cross talk actor Yue Yunpeng. With his unique sense of humor and witty rhetoric, he amused Mao Amin from time to time, making the singer who had gone through the storm bloom with a bright smile again.
When seeing her smile, everyone present was deeply moved and their hearts were filled with joy.
However, deep down, Mao Amin's mood is complex and changeable. Just a few months ago, on December 18, 2021, her beloved husband Xie Zhikun died of a heart attack in Beijing at the age of 61.
The departure of her husband has brought a heavy blow to Mao Amin, who is already 58 years old, and she has been in extreme pain and cannot extricate herself.
During those difficult days, Mao Amin endured his grief during the day and tried to keep smiling; At night, she often wept silently in bed alone. She always looked forward to her husband's return in her dreams, and even tearfully said to her daughter Xie Fengming and son, "Your father has not left, he is just going on a business trip and will be home soon."
Hearing the mother's touching words, the children's hearts were also bleeding. They would hold Mao Amin's hand tightly and accompany her by the bedside all night, helping her through that dark and desperate time with endless love and warmth.
In just one week, Mao Amin lost a full 4 pounds.
Recalling the good times spent with Xie Zhikun, Mao Amin's tears welled up in his heart again.
The tenacious life has experienced ups and downs, and the steady pace has been all over the red dust. Mao Amin's life journey is destined to be extraordinary. She was born in an ordinary worker family in Shanghai, her father Mao Jinfu and mother Xu Chengdi were both hardworking and kind factory workers.
Mao Amin has two older brothers, both of whom also work in factories.
In 1981, after graduating from high school, Mao Amin failed to be admitted to the ideal university, and her father traveled around for her, and finally successfully sent her to Shanghai Dyeing and Chemical Factory No. 7 as a temporary worker.
While working hard in the factory, Mao Amin devoted herself to all kinds of amateur theatrical performances in Shanghai, and she bravely walked towards the road of music full of difficulties and challenges, and fought hard with perseverance.
In 1985, Mao Amin was fortunate to be recruited as an actor by the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Song and Dance Troupe, and since then, her music dream has set sail. In 1988, Mao Amin performed the song "Missing" affectionately on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which made her instantly popular and famous across the country.
However, the good times did not last long, and the performance company deceived Mao Amin by lying that she had paid the taxes on her behalf, but in fact she had not paid them at all, resulting in her being banned from performing in any form in China due to tax issues.
Mao Amin was forced to go to a foreign country, and during that time, she was lonely and had no future, and she could only hide alone in a small rental house every day.
Just when Mao Amin was at a low point in her life, in 2000, her eldest brother, in the name of her parents, sent her a letter full of affection, encouraging her to regain her confidence and return to the embrace of the motherland.
When Mao Amin finished reading his brother's letter, tears fell like rain. Soon after, she made a firm decision to return home.
In 2001, the 38-year-old Mao Amin appeared on the stage of the Great Hall of the People again, symbolizing that she had finally been lifted from the ban and returned to the public eye. Although her musical journey is full of hardships and setbacks, it is these hardships that have forged her firm belief in her dreams, and also made her cherish this happiness even more in the process of finding true love and building a family.
Third, half a life of red dust in a relationship, raise the case and talk about marriage
In March 2002, 38-year-old Mao Amin was invited to attend a business reception in Beijing's Chaoyang District. At this event, a man named Xie Zhikun touched her heart deeply.
Xie is from Yichun, Heilongjiang Province, and was born in January 1961 in an ordinary family. He has been diligent and studious since he was a child, and has achieved brilliant achievements in his career with his own efforts. In 1995, Xie founded Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, which by 2000 had become well-known throughout the country.
At that time, Xie had already become a leader in the business world and had a lot of money. As a superstar in the music world, Mao Amin is not out of reach in his eyes. At first, Xie did not have too many emotional fluctuations about Mao Amin's bright aura.
However, to everyone's surprise, Mao Amin was deeply attracted to this business magnate with a brilliant personality and noble appearance. Although the reception was short-lived, the enthusiastic Mao Amin did not hesitate to contact him and invite him to spend a good time.
It's a pity that the date was politely and tactfully rejected by Xie Zhikun, but Mao Amin was not discouraged by this.
Only half a month later, they were reunited at another grand sorority. Mao Amin said to Xie Zhikun affectionately: "Why do you always avoid me? Am I really that terrible? After saying that, she also showed a sweet smile.
Influenced by Mao Amin's cute charm, Xie Zhikun also responded with a smile: "Who said I was afraid of you? I'll make an appointment with you another day."
Since then, Xie has taken the initiative to invite Mao Amin to spend quality time together. In June 2002, Mao Amin expressed his heart to him, hoping to enter the palace of marriage hand in hand with him.
The proposal was too abrupt for Mr. Xie, and he asked for more time to think.
In fact, a successful person like Xie would never choose a woman as a partner lightly. He told his mother and brother about it and asked for their advice.
They have concerns about Mao Amin's identity and career, and they are worried that people in the entertainment industry do not take marriage seriously enough and are prone to impetuousness.
Faced with the doubts of his family, Mao Amin responded with a sincere attitude: "I am sincere, if I am fortunate to live with you, I will definitely become an excellent wife." These candid words finally dispelled the doubts in Zhikun's heart.
So, in the spring of 2003, they completed their wedding in Beijing in a low-key manner.
After marriage, Mao Amin's performance made the Xie family look at her with admiration. She resolutely gave up her career and devoted herself wholeheartedly to family life. Whenever her husband goes out to work, she carefully prepares the medicines he needs; For her elderly in-laws, she is even more respectful and filial.
These actions made the Xie family praise and admire her.
Fourth, perseverance breeds treasures, and love for two generations
On the occasion of their marriage, Mao Amin, who is already over 40 years old, expressed to her husband Xie Zhikun a deep-seated wish: she longed to have children of her own. Although she is well aware of the many risks that advanced mothers may face, Mao Amin still firmly said: "Even if I have to take huge risks, I am willing to give birth to the crystallization of our love."
Hearing such a sincere wish from his wife, Xie was deeply moved. As a successful business magnate, it is undoubtedly a great blessing in his life to have such a virtuous helper who is willing to give up his personal fame and fortune for the sake of his family.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to satisfy Mao Amin's long-hidden desire. In the late winter and early spring of 2004, this brilliant female singer who once stood at the peak of the music scene - Mao Amin, who is already forty years old, ushered in the new hope of her life in Beijing - the daughter who was born.
She named her daughter Xie Fengming, implying expectations and blessings for life, since then, the former music superstar has chosen to leave the hustle and bustle of the stage and devote all her energy to the role of mother.
During the day, she takes care of every detail of her daughter; When night fell, she accompanied the child at the bedside, humming a lullaby gently until the child fell asleep. Sometimes, when her daughter suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and cried incessantly, Mao Amin had to get up to change her diaper, feed her breastfeed, and sleep comfortably, exhausted but uncomplaining.
However, her heart was full of happiness.
Three years later, in December 2007, Mao Amin once again ushered in a new life - the birth of a son, and since then she has a pair of lovely baby children. In order to ensure the healthy growth of her son, Mao Amin firmly chose to breastfeed, and occasionally added an appropriate amount of milk powder.
In 2010, she participated in the grand opening ceremony performances of the Shanghai World Expo and the Guangzhou Asian Games, and on the eve of the National Day of the same year, she successfully held her first concert in Beijing.
In order to relieve her husband's long-standing pressure, in 2012 Mao Amin rented a vegetable garden in the suburbs near her home. Since then, the whole family has started a new parent-child journey: cultivating the land together, taking care of the housework, and talking about life.
Such a harmonious and happy family atmosphere made Mao Amin experience unprecedented happiness and tranquility.
Fifth, the sun and the moon will always be green, and the love documentary is moving
Faced with the death of her husband Xie Zhikun, Mao Amin is still difficult to completely let go. On December 18, 2021, the sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, plunging her into endless grief.
When the family told her the news that Xie Zhikun had died of a heart attack, Mao Amin could not bear such a heavy blow, and said to his daughter Xie Fengming and his son with tears in his eyes: "Your father has not left, he just went on a business trip far away and will return soon."
Hearing his mother's words, Xie Fengming and his younger brother's hearts ached like a knife. They held Mao Amin's hands tightly and guarded the bedside all night, accompanying her through those dark and desperate years with selfless love and warmth.
In just one week, Mao Amin managed to lose four kilograms! This is undoubtedly an amazing achievement! One morning, his son suddenly said: "Mom, I feel dizzy and can't go to school", and the huge blow in his career made Mao Amin wake up instantly.
She immediately realized that as a mother, she was the spiritual pillar of the family and the only dependence of the children. If she continues to wallow in grief, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the children's development.
It was at that critical moment that Mao Amin made up his mind to bury all the pain deep in his heart and began to face life positively, looking for new strength and hope.
During the day, she takes care of her son's study and life; In the afternoon, she led the children to her garden to grow vegetables. The caring greetings of relatives and friends, and the encouragement and support of fans, all of which deeply touched Mao Amin's heart.
Mao often reminisces about the good times he spent with Mr. Xie. His affection, endless love, and meticulous care for her...... It is like a warm lamp that will never be extinguished, illuminating her long life path in the future.
Although the two have separated, the deep affection between them has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone who witnessed it, touching and eternal.
