01
(Early years of Bilina)
Fei Xiang's mother, Bi Lina, was born in 1932 in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and lived with her parents and siblings in a building on Tongjiang Street in Daoli District.
Fei Xiang's grandmother's name is Li Mengbai, her ancestral home is Shandong, her parents are in business in Harbin, and she owns hotels, car dealerships and other industries, and her family is superior. Fei Xiang's grandfather is a son-in-law and joins the Li family.
In the 40s of the last century, in order to escape the war, Bi Lina's family moved to Beiping and lived in a small alley near Chongwenmen. Due to the excellent family conditions, Bilina's parents attach great importance to their children's education.
After coming to Beiping, Bi Lina was introduced by her fellow villagers and followed Qi Baishi to learn Chinese painting.

In 1949, Bi Lina's family came to Shanghai for business. Later, Bi Lina was swept by the tide of the times and drifted to Taipei.
Bilina's parents and siblings remained on the mainland. Because of the times, Bilina completely lost contact with her relatives.
Bi Lina received a good education from an early age, and after leaving her hometown and coming to Taipei, she joined a radio station as an announcer.
Alone in Taipei, Bi Lina has experienced a lot of hardships in life, she misses her parents and often cries in her apartment.
The homesickness makes Belina especially eager to have a home. In 1952, 20-year-old Bi Lina got married early, and her husband was a native of Taipei and engaged in literary and artistic work.

In 1953, Bi Lina gave birth to her daughter Anya in Taipei.
Bi Lina did not have a family and did not have any dowry when she got married, so she was despised by her mother-in-law's family. Coupled with the various life conflicts caused by raising her daughter, when her daughter was two years old, Bilina divorced and became a single mother.
In 1957, when Bi Lina was watching a basketball game in Taipei, she met the American guy Fei Weide. He is 1.90 meters tall, tall and handsome.
Fei Weide, who was two years older than Bilina, served in the army, became a singer and played in a basketball club.
Fei Weide's personal conditions and nationality have a great temptation for Bi Lina. And the softness and gentleness of Bilina's oriental women also touched Fei Weide's heartstrings, and the two had a good impression of each other.

What touched Bi Lina even more was that Fei Weide did not dislike her for being married and having a daughter.
In 1958, Bi Lina quit her job and took her daughter to Los Angeles to join Fei Weide. In the same year, Bilina and Fei Weide registered their marriage in the United States.

On December 24, 1960, Fei Xiang was born in the United States.
Fei Xiang has a half-brother with his sister, but he has a deep relationship with his sister. Anya is a singer who went to New York with the band after graduating from high school.

In 1976, Anya was diagnosed with lung cancer, and Fei Xiang and his mother were heartbroken. They tried their best to save their sister, but in 1978, Anya died of cancer at the age of 25.
Anya is not in love and married, and her life is sad. After the death of her daughter, Bilina was immersed in great grief, a little depressed, and had no intention of taking care of the housework.
In this way, the contradiction between her and her husband has become more acute. In fact, Bi Lina and Fei Weide's marriage has always been discordant, due to differences in cultural background, living habits and other aspects, Bi Lina is not happy.

The conflict between his parents caused harm to Fei Xiang and imperceptibly affected his view of marriage and love.
In 1978, Fei Xiang was admitted to Stanford University in the United States to study dentistry. But he wasn't interested in the major at all, and a year later he transferred to the theater department at Stanford University.
In 1980, Bi Lina divorced Fei Weide, and she left the United States to live in Taipei. Fei Xiang is 20 years old this year, and although he is an adult, his heart is still shocked.
In 1981, after graduating from university, Fei Xiang did not stay with his father in the United States, but returned to Taipei to live with his mother.
(Fei Xiang in the early years)
At that time, Fei Xiang and his mother did not have their own house, they had been renting a house, often moving around, and suffered a lot. Fei Xiang's biggest wish at that time was to earn money to buy a house for his mother.
Fei Xiang is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms, with a handsome face and tall figure unique to mixed-race children.
Soon after he returned to Taipei, he was discovered by the famous singer, actor, director, and producer Zhang Aijia, and starred in the unit drama "Eleven Women", and since then he has entered the showbiz.
At that time, Zhang Aijia was recruiting male actors, preparing for him to play a blind man in "Eleven Women". When Fei Xiang went to recommend the play, Zhang Aijia took a fancy to his erratic eyes.

In this way, Fei Xiang successfully became the male protagonist of "The Eleventh Woman".
After the filming was over, Zhang Aijia packaged Fei Xiang into the music scene again. At that time, the Taiwanese music scene was the world of Liu Wenzheng and Luo Dayou, and there was a lack of youth idols like Fei Xiang.

Under the operation of Zhang Aijia and the company, Fei Xiang has successively launched a number of solo albums such as "Lingering", "Asking the Sun" and "Sea and Sky".

In the past few years, Fei Xiang has also starred in films such as "Last Night's Light" and "Spring Outside the Bamboo Fence".
In 1985, Fei Xiang bought a house for his mother in Taipei, China, and the mother and son finally ended their homeless rental career.
At that time, Fei Xiang was the company's cash cow, a product that the company carefully packaged and sold. His life looks beautiful, but it is deformed, he can't talk nonsense, he can't eat casually, and he even has to wear the clothes arranged by the company when he goes home to see his mother, this kind of life makes Fei Xiang crazy.
In the mid-80s of the last century, Taiwan, China had contact with the mainland. Bilina is crazy about her parents and siblings, and after searching for them, she gets in touch with her mother and siblings.

Bi Lina's father had already passed away, and in November 1986, Bi Lina agreed with her mother and siblings to meet at a hotel in Guangzhou, and Fei Xiang accompanied her mother to Guangzhou.
When Bilina and her family saw each other, they cried profusely. In order to save face for his mother, Fei Xiang not only bought expensive gifts for his grandmother, uncle, and aunt, but also wrapped a red envelope for each of them.
At that time, CCTV was preparing for the 1987 Spring Festival Gala, and the famous female director Deng Zaijun played the role.
Deng Zaijun occasionally heard the song "A Fire in Winter", so he asked the head of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe to find Fei Xiang. After investigating Fei Xiang's background in all aspects, Deng Zaijun made a decision on the spot to let Fei Xiang appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

In the 1987 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Fei Xiang sang the two songs "A Fire in Winter" and "Clouds in Hometown", all of which he chose by himself.
Deng Zaijun did not object, it can be said that Fei Xiang later became popular, and Deng Zaijun had a credit.
By 1990, Fei Xiang had released 13 solo albums, and he stayed in a hotel 300 days a year, either performing or taking pictures and promoting every day.
Gradually, Fei Xiang got tired of this kind of life under the spotlight.

In the fall of 1990, Fei Xiang said to his mother: I want to change the environment and go to the United States to live. Bilina was considerate of her son and agreed. So Fei Xiang brought his mother to New York to live together.

In New York, Fei Xiang bought two apartments, and he opened up the two apartments, with a total of more than 200 square meters, and the decoration was all done by him.
Fei Xiang's apartment is located on the 40th floor, close to Broadway. After Fei Xiang came to New York, he performed opera on Broadway.
Returning home from a performance, Fei Xiang found an injured stray cat on the side of the road. With the help of the police, Fei Xiang helped the stray cat find its owner.

It turned out that the owner of the stray cat was an addict, and he ate the last meal by himself, and he was not able to take care of the cat at all.
Fei Xiang pushed the addict to court and rescued the stray cat. At that time, the stray cat had inflammation and suppuration in one eye and was about to lose its sight, so Fei Xiang took it to the pet hospital for injection.
Fei Xiang named the pet cat "Touch". Touch is very close to him, and when Fei Xiang sleeps at night, Touch squats next to his pillow and watches him fall asleep before leaving.
Fei Xiang raised Touch as a child and spent a lot of effort on it.
In 1995, Fei Xiang was 35 years old and still unmarried and single. Bi Lina only has one son, Fei Xiang, and hopes that her son will get married and become a father as soon as possible.
Seeing that her son was not in love for a long time, Bi Lina began to urge marriage. She said to her son: You spend so much time and energy on cats, it is better to raise a child yourself.
Fei Xiang replied to his mother: There is no contradiction between raising a cat and raising a child.
When Fei Xiang first debuted, he had a relationship with singer Ye Qianwen. At that time, both of their careers were on the rise, and they had no time to maintain their love, so they soon broke up.

For more than 10 years since then, Fei Xiang has not been involved in love.
In 1996, at the urging of his mother, Fei Xiang fell in love with American girls Jenny and Sharis. Fei Xiang has his own life track and social circle, but he is uncomfortable in love, and he broke up with Jenny and Sharis.
In 1997, Bi Lina said to her son: Mom is getting old day by day and wants to go back to Taipei. Fei Xiang is a filial son, so he gave up his career in the United States and accompanied his mother back to live in Taipei. Occasionally, he would take his mother back to the United States for a while.
In 2001, Fei Xiang took his mother to perform in Shanghai. Bilina lived in Shanghai when she was young and has a lot of affection for the city.

The atmosphere of Shanghai attracted her, and living in Shanghai made it easy for Bilina to meet her siblings, so Bilina proposed to her son to settle in Shanghai. Fei Xiang said: Mom, as long as you are comfortable, I agree.
Later, Fei Xiang bought his mother a three-bedroom apartment in Shanghai and helped her mother set up a home in Shanghai.

After his mother settled in Shanghai, Fei Xiang shifted the focus of his career to the mainland, and he returned to Shanghai to accompany his mother after work.
In 2003, Fei Xiang was 43 years old, and Bi Lina felt that her son should get married, so she frantically urged marriage.

Fei Xiang has long been accustomed to living alone, and with his fame and wealth, he has strict requirements for the other half, and it is impossible to marry casually, so he has been single.
In 2012, Bi Lina was 80 years old, and Fei Xiang's marriage became her heart disease. Bilinato's friends and siblings introduced Fei Xiang to a partner, and Fei Xiang went on blind dates in Shanghai and Beijing at the urging of his mother, but to no avail.
People are extremely fragile when they are old, and when they think of Fei Xiang's future, Bi Lina cried: she still has Fei Xiang's son to take care of, if he is old in the future and has no children around him, who will take care of him?
For Fei Xiang's marriage and love, Bi Lina shed tears at home.

It is true that Fei Xiang provided her mother with superior living conditions, but Bi Lina was really happy not much, and when she thought that her son was still single in middle age, her heart was like a thousand pounds of boulder.
In 2021, Bi Lina is old and slow in thinking, she doesn't remember many things, and she is happy every day. But she would ask Fei Xiang: When will you get married and become a father? Then his eyes welled up with sorrow.
But after a while, Bilina will forget about it again, and be as happy as a child. After a while, Bi Lina would suddenly ask Fei Xiang when he would get married.

Fei Xiang knew that he was unmarried and single, with no children and no daughters, which brought great regret and pressure to his mother, and she had regrets in her later years. Knowing this, Fei Xiang couldn't help but feel sad.
On May 20, 2024, Bi Lina passed away in Shanghai at the age of 92. Fei Xiang's father passed away as early as 2014, his sister is gone, his parents are also gone, and Fei Xiang has no relatives, so he feels lonely and heartache.
Fei Xiang knew that his mother passed away with regret, and his mother was unwilling to see him get married and become a father.
When saying his final goodbye to his mother, Fei Xiang said with tears in his eyes: Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you die with regrets. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to be your son. By then, I will definitely get married early and be a father and let you hold your grandchildren.
