In the 80s, there was a name that people at that time must not be unfamiliar with, she was the female singer Celeste. A name that swept the country at the time, she walked into thousands of homes, streets and alleys with her singing.
Today, we may be immersed in the fashionable punk culture, or we may also feel a little bit of beauty between the cities, and just like the people in the 80s like us today, there was a saying that "in the past, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people" and "Xie" refers to the singer Xie Lisi, and "Wang" is Xie Lisi's partner Wang Jieshi.
In 1947, Cheryles was born in Chongqing, a city with its own pride and raising a woman with pride in her bones. Cherise is a singing actress, a national actor, and an artist who enjoys the treatment of experts of the State Council. And the artist's life always seems to be full of ups and downs.

In 1967, the 20-year-old Shelith was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing with her talent in music, and after graduation, Shelith was assigned to work in Hebei, at that time, the singing conditions that could be provided were not very good, and Shelith spent the rest of her time singing every day in addition to the labor that had to be done. She has sung in many places, on the fields, in the cow pens... Wait a minute. But even in such harsh conditions, she continued to practice every day, and for Cheryl she could sometimes really heal some of the unsatisfactory things caused by her living environment.
Even though Cherice is so optimistic and positive about life, life still makes fun of her. When Shelith was 24 years old, her mother left her forever because of illness, and Shelith, who could not accept it for a while, in addition to washing her face with tears, was depressed, coupled with arthritis caused by previous labor, this double blow made Cherise at that time physically and mentally painful.
It was also at this time that a man appeared, and he was Cherise's later husband, director Long Wenyao. According to Long Wenyao's later description, he fell in love with Cherise when he saw her. At that time, Long Wenyao knew that Cherise had arthritis and really found medicine for arthritis from the place where he was filming and sent it to Cheryl. The two of them gradually became fond of each other, and a year later, Cherise and Long Wenyao got married, and after the marriage they had a daughter, which was also their only daughter, and they named the daughter Lang Le.
Shellis, who harvested love, also began to develop her career gradually during the year. In 1972, Cheryles joined the China Film Orchestra as a singer. In 1978, Cheryles met his partner Wang Jieshi for decades to come. At that time, Xie Lisi was already famous, and Wang Jieshi was only 20 years old at the time, when he studied acting at the Central Academy of Drama, after graduation Wang Jieshi participated in the performance of beijing film studio films, but for Wang Jieshi, the profession of actor did not seem to be suitable for him, and his appearance conditions, appearance and appearance were far from what the actor's profession required. But his voice conditions are very good, so he gave up the profession of actor and turned to the development of the music world.
In 1978, Wang Jieshi took the exam for the Chinese Film Orchestra, and it was in this exam that he was favored by Shelith, who was the main examiner at the time.
It was also in this year that Cherise and Wang Jieshi began a formal collaboration. Under the impetus of Cheryles, she and Wang Jieshi appeared in front of the national audience in the form of a combination of "male and female duets". For a time, their partners swept the country and even the world, and they sang many songs, among which they are still familiar with "Why Are Flowers So Red" and "Campus Morning".
At first, Xie Lisi and Wang Jieshi only relied on a novel partner group to cover some classic old songs, but at that time, the gradually popular Taiwanese campus songs were more liked by the public, and in a fortuitous time, Xie Lisi heard the Taiwanese campus song "Barefoot Walking on the Field". The cheerful and relaxed style of music made Cherise deeply addicted, and at this time, Celeste may understand why Taiwan's campus songs will be liked by the public, and at this moment, Cherise has some ideas in her head.
After several twists and turns, she recorded the source of the song at a friend's place, and she wanted to sing this song to everyone, but at that time, what song to sing needed to ask her superiors for instructions, and the same was true for this Taiwanese song.
In later performances, Xie Lisi and Wang Jieshi integrated Taiwanese songs into their songs, or directly sang Taiwanese songs, and songs with unique styles entered the public life, and Xie Lisi and Wang Jieshi also entered the Chinese music scene in the 80s with their "male and female duet" combination form.
In the next step, they are not limited to covering campus songs, they introduce the popular singing method of songs to the public through the form of campus songs, so that the popular singing form becomes popular. At the same time they also sang folk songs, movie songs. In their own way, they have continuously expanded the charm of music, and gradually formed their own style.
In 1981, Cheryl and Wang Jieshi released their first album", "When to Meet", which sold a total of 5 million boxes.
For decades, they have made the song form, which was originally called a school song, really enter the campus "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Campus Morning", "Country Road" and other songs that are not only popular on campus but also popular throughout the country.
The partner of Xie Lisi and Wang Jieshi is too impressed in people's minds, often people laugh at them as "golden boys", and sometimes when they go to the performance, the organizers of the show are confused and only give the key to a room, so that even Wang Jieshi's wife began to be jealous. Although this is the case, Wang Jieshi's wife also knows the relationship between her husband and Cherise, and is a partner and a friend teacher.
And Cheryl's husband, Long Wenyao, is a director, and "The Right Way on Earth" and "Bauhinia Medal" are his representative works. Long Wenyao's support for his wife's career is very large, and Cheryl has been performing outside for a long time, and he has taken care of his daughter and family at home. In general, the fame of Cheryles and Wang Jieshi is inseparable from the silent support of their families behind their backs.
Classic songs, classic voices, Cherise's life is surrounded by music, and she is a shining star on stage. But even if the stars are shining in the sky, when the dark clouds come, the time will be dim. The onslaught of illness made Cherise helpless and made Cherise more tenacious.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > sudden illness</h1>
One day in October 1997, At home, Cherise suddenly felt a little numbness in her legs, her head began to faint and her eyes began to blur, at first Cherise did not care so much, she once thought that her long-term performance caused her body to be too tired, but as the time went on, the most terrible thing appeared, Cherise found that her mouth began to be crooked, and it was not close, and it was difficult to even speak, let alone sing. These are undoubtedly fatal blows for a singing actor.
Celeste rushed to the China-Japan Friendship Hospital at the time, and the doctor's words made her spine chill, and when the doctor saw the results of Cherice's examination, he said, "I thought it was the brain of an 80-year-old man, until I saw Cherise, I couldn't believe it, she was only fifty years old." The doctor's words made Cherise feel an unprecedented blow, and the doctor diagnosed that Cherise was suffering from multiple lacunar cerebral infarction.
At that time, Cherise remembered that her performance schedules were unreasonable all year round, and that she had always suffered from high blood pressure.
Shellis, who learned of this result, could not accept it, and her husband, Director Long Wenyao, was filming a TV series at the time, and when she heard the news, she rushed back immediately. Multiple lacunar cerebral infarction will gradually become Alzheimer's disease in the future, and Cherise looks at her gradually changing appearance, increasingly slowly moving, and her heart is burning like a thousand charcoal fires.
During the follow-up treatment time, Cherise takes a drip, and she tells the doctor that if she wants to be cured, she must be given the best medicine. The doctor told her that we will definitely do our best to treat your illness.
In this way, after two months, Cherice's condition was finally under control, but the doctor also told her that her condition was so serious that it was almost impossible to recover to her previous situation. Celeste also knew in her heart that it would be difficult, or almost impossible, to return to her previous situation, which was obviously unacceptable to Celeste, a singer who was popular with the public at that time.
And her husband, Long Wenyao, after settling her in, also had to rush back to the crew because of the progress of the TV series shooting. For some time after that, Cherise couldn't leave the house, and even if a friend came to see her, she sometimes chose not to see her, and she lay in bed, not wanting to move or talk. Friends said it wasn't the Cherise they'd ever seen, both in appearance and personality.
Cheryles even told Wang Jieshi that if Wang Jieshi wanted to find a new partner, she might not sing anymore, and she might never sing.
Maybe she was born in Chongqing, or maybe it was her love for music, the stubbornness in her bones and the reluctance in her heart are inspiring her, and she can't just leave everything she likes and loves.
We can often see the stars we are chasing glow, but we rarely know the dark abyss that the stars break through before they shine.
In 1998, a friend asked Celeste, "Why don't you go to the SPRING FESTIVAL GALA AT TV STATION?" Friend may have been an inadvertent expression, but to Cherise at the time, the sentence was like a boulder, pressed firmly against her chest, pressing her breathlessly. Unwilling to accept defeat, Cherise began a difficult rehabilitation, and her husband, her daughter, had always encouraged her and accompanied her. Her old partner, Wang Jieshi, has always told her to keep going, and he is still waiting for Cherise to get better and sing a song together.
In two years, Cherise climbed out of the abyss little by little, she continued to exercise rehabilitation, said more when she couldn't speak clearly, insisted on practicing her voice every day when she couldn't make a sound, and when she returned to the hospital for review, the doctor told her that she could be said to be a "miracle". Celeste gave the doctor a miracle, and she gave herself a miracle. For the stage, Cherise has given everything she can, and it can be said that she has handed over a perfect answer sheet.
In the autumn of 2000, Cherylissa received an invitation from the CCTV "Same Song" program group, this year, she once again sang the classic song "Young Friends Come to Meet" with her old partner Wang Jieshi, when the audience saw Cherise again, she was still the lively and lively, with a good voice, the song spread throughout the country.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > the death of a loved one</h1>
But life did not treat the artist well, fading the light on the stage, Andeth also wanted to spend more time with her family, and after years of performing everywhere, she always had a lot of guilt for her family. But just as she decided to stop and rest, her daughter Lang Le was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Lang Le, is the only daughter of Xie Lisi and her husband Long Wenyao, her parents have high achievements in the field of art, as their daughter, Lang Le is naturally extremely excellent, in the composition and lyrics have good results, in the field of music she is also a talented girl like her mother.
Perhaps it is because of "heavenly jealousy", in 2010, Lang Le was found to have lung cancer, although Shelis has been encouraging her daughter with her own experience, has been looking for the best medicine to treat her daughter, Lang Le also actively fight against the disease, even so, Cherise still failed to keep Lang Le.
In 2014, Langle left Shellis forever. At that time, Celise was 67 years old, the pain of the white-haired person sending the brunette to the brunette was unbearable for Cherise, and the pain of losing her daughter made her gradually have less hope for life, so the pain came to the door again. In the time that followed, Cherise disappeared from public view, and the singer, who was all the rage in the 80s, finally left the music scene in the twentieth century.
The 74-year-old Cherise has faded from the public eye, the passage of time has made her gray hair grow a lot, and she has begun her new life in the company of her husband Long Wenyao. Traveling, square dancing, walking, shopping, she is also telling her daughter who left in this way that she is fine. She is also healing herself in this way.
We look back at Cherise's life, there have been smooth sailings, and there have been ups and downs. But this artist still loves life, and I believe that she brings a lot of power to people like the songs she has sung, and tells us to work hard to live. As Cherise said in an interview, "Crossing a hurdle is the road."
There is such a passage in Mr. Jia Pingwa's "Temporary Sitting" that reads: "Late autumn, thin thoughts, flowers do not speak, the wind understands, some people come and go, some people go and come, some people are close and far, you see a hurried year is autumn again, the years are countless, the old people are not as good as the beginning, but they are temporarily sitting in this world, but they have to go through thousands of vicissitudes." ”
The life of the singer Celeste is as countless as this passage says, and it has gone through thousands of vicissitudes.
Now we can only miss the golden-voiced singer Cherise through some classic songs, and whenever we hear "School Morning", we can think of the scene when we were children and friends and went to school. And now when I listen to "Grandma's Penghu Bay", my mind may be that Cherise and her husband Long Wenyao are slowly walking on the beach, beautiful and comfortable, and I hope that the singer will be comfortable for the rest of his life.
