The title of "First Sister in the Singing World" is an unattainable dream for many people. However, there is an ordinary girl who has realized this dream step by step with her own hard work and talent.
She is a legend in the Chinese music scene - Faye Wong.
Faye Wong was born in an ordinary family in Beijing and has shown extraordinary musical talent since she was a child. She has a unique voice and a beautiful timbre that is unforgettable. However, at that time, music was not a widely recognized profession, and Faye Wong's parents did not support her to follow the path of music.
However, Faye Wong did not give up on her dream. She formed her own band at school, participated in various music competitions, and constantly honed her musical skills. Her talent was gradually recognized, and her musical compositions began to make their mark on the music scene.
In 1992, Faye Wong launched her first album "Wang Jingwen" and became famous in one fell swoop. Her songs such as "Easily Injured Woman" and "Red Bean" have become classics and are widely popular. Since then, Faye Wong's music career has been booming, her concert tickets are hard to find, and her music works have won many music awards.
Faye Wong's success is inseparable from her hard work and talent, as well as her courage and persistence. She used her practical actions to tell us that as long as we have dreams and courage, we will definitely be able to achieve them.
She is the rise of a dream-chasing girl and a legend of the times.
Mao Amin was born on March 1, 1963 in Shanghai in an ordinary working family, although the family is not wealthy, his parents still regard him as the pearl of their palms, and there is no patriarchal thinking.
Since she was a child, her parents taught her the truth of "daughters should be self-reliant" and encouraged her to seek a better way out by reading.
Born in Shanghai, where the atmosphere of literature and art is strong, Mao Amin has loved singing and dancing since he was a child. However, she did not neglect her studies because of her personal interests, but instead excelled in school and showed outstanding talents.
At the age of 22, Mao Amin made a bold decision to give up a stable but dull job and choose to embark on the path of pursuing her musical dreams. This decision set her, who had always been obedient and well-behaved, on a path that was considered "rebellious".
She first released her first music album "Hot Coffee", then quit her job and applied for the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Song and Dance Troupe.
Faced with their daughter's choice, the parents were furious and spoke ill of her. However, the anger of his parents did not extinguish Mao Amin's determination to pursue his dream of being a singer.
She silently swallowed her tears, worked hard, and finally was admitted to the song and dance troupe with excellent results and became a soloist of the front-line song and dance troupe of the Nanjing Military Region.
During his time in the song and dance troupe, Mao Amin showed amazing talent. Every time she sings, she can't help but add her own style, and her unique singing style of "soft and strong" can always make her comrades applaud.
She was like a jade that had been carefully polished by the troops, shining with dazzling light.
In 1986, Mao Amin ushered in the first peak of his career in the Chinese music scene. She released a solo album "Lost Girl", which set off a "tornado" in the Chinese music scene as soon as it was released, and it was sung all over the country.
The following year, she was invited to participate in the Yugoslav International Music Festival, where she won the third prize for her song "The Love of Green Leaves to Roots". This made her the first Chinese singer to be honored at the festival, which made her internationally renowned.
In 1988, Mao Amin's dignified and elegant "self-modification clothes" led the coquettish stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and her song "Missing" was very tender and touching. Since then, she has successfully established an irreplaceable status as "the first sister in the music world" in the hearts of the people, and even her parents, who opposed her taking the path of music in the past, are proud and gratified.
During this time, Mao Amin's eyes were full of love for music, and his face was filled with the joy of success. She used her strength to prove that her original choice was correct, and also laid a solid foundation for the magnificent life she was about to face.
On the road of life, there will always be all kinds of difficulties and setbacks. For a young man, the double whammy of career and love is undoubtedly a huge test.
However, it is only through these trials that one can truly grow into a strong, courageous, and responsible person.
I used to have a job that I loved very much, and I was full of passion and motivation every day. However, an unexpected accident cost me my job and left me in deep pain and confusion.
I didn't know what I was going to do, and I didn't know where the road ahead was, and during that time, I felt like my world was dark, as if I had lost all hope and faith.
My girlfriend has been there for me at this critical time, giving me encouragement and support. She told me that life is like a marathon, and only by persevering can you reach the finish line.
Her words made me regain my courage and confidence, and also made me understand a truth: no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must not give up your dreams and pursuits.
So, I began to re-examine my life and look for new opportunities and directions. I started to learn new skills, expand my network, and participate in various social activities.
Eventually, I managed to find a new job and regain my love and confidence in life.
In the process, I deeply felt the power of love. The companionship and support of my girlfriend made me feel warmth and hope even in the most difficult times. She made me understand how important it is to have someone to rely on in life.
Now, I have come out of the double whammy of career and love and found my life again. I understand that life is like a journey, and only after experiencing wind and rain can we see the most beautiful scenery.
No matter what difficulties and setbacks I encounter, I will face them bravely and move on with determination.
Just when Mao Amin's career was in full swing, fate gave her an unexpected blow. In 1987, she met and fell in love with the well-known guitarist Daniel Zhang, and the two were known as the "golden boy and jade girl" combination in the entertainment industry, which made everyone envious.
This relationship lasted only two years before ending in tragedy, and it came and went quickly.
In 1988, Mao Amin starred in the feature film "Crazy Singer", playing the role of "Wu Yani". Subsequently, she recorded movie songs such as "Love Dead and Alive", "Red Rose", "Little Railway Station", and released solo albums "Handshake Disco" and "Crazy Singer", which can be described as purple.
However, in 1990, in order to realize his dream of studying in Australia, Daniel Zhang swept away all of Mao Amin's property like a thief and abandoned her. This blow was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Mao Amin.
Her eyes were full of confusion and pain, and she couldn't believe that someone she loved so much would treat her in such a cruel way.
What made Mao Amin even worse was that she was facing a "tax turmoil" at this time, and she was directly downgraded by two levels, and her singing career also encountered the lowest ebb. Under the double blow of career and love, she has always been strong, and she actually came up with the idea of committing suicide.
One day in August, she bought more than 100 Valium tablets and decided to leave this hustle and bustle of the world in the "most beautiful sleeping position". Fortunately, the father has long been aware of his daughter's abnormality and has been secretly paying attention.
Mao Amin was stopped by his father in time and finally survived. Seeing the tears on her parents' cheeks, her heart was full of self-blame.
This experience on the verge of life and death made Mao Amin deeply understand: In this world, only your parents will always regard you as a treasure. She regained her faith and began to put her life in order.
Despite the heavy losses, Mao Amin did not give up his music career. She insisted on creating, and successively released popular albums such as "Where is the Star" and "Before Crying".
Although not as famous as before, she still holds on to her musical dreams.
In 1991, Mao Amin got another chance. She received an invitation from director Zhao Baogang to sing the theme song of the same name for the TV series "Desire". As soon as this song was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation, not only making Li Xuejian, Sun Song and other actors popular, but also bringing Mao Amin's singing career back to its peak.
The success of the TV series "Desire" made Mao Amin popular in the mainland again, and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also got to know this big sister in the music world.
After the ups and downs of life, Mao Amin's eyes are not only passionate about music, but also full of perseverance. Through her own story, she interpreted the sentence in the lyrics of "Longing": "The long road of life, seeking up and down, and longing for a sincere life in my heart."
This desire for a sincere life has become a guide for her later life.
After experiencing the ups and downs of his career and relationships, Mao Amin became disheartened with love. Over the years, she has locked the door of her heart, boiled her eyes, and broken her parents' hearts.
Time flies, Mao Amin is 39 years old and has become an out-and-out "older leftover girl". Her parents and friends around her are secretly anxious about her marriage.
However, the topic of fate always likes to joke. In the spring of 2002, when the earth began to recover, the appearance of a man directly broke through Mao Amin's strong defense line for love.
At a certain party, wealthy businessmen and giants gathered, and celebrities gathered. In the crowd, a man named Xie Zhikun caught Mao Amin's attention. Although it has passed the age of no confusion, Xie still can't hide the elegance and domineering of the business elite.
Although Mao Amin has seen too many excellent men, compared with Xie Zhikun, it is different after all.
At that time, Xie was already a leader in the business world, and at the age of 34, he founded "Zhongzhi Group", whose business scope covered many fields such as real industry, asset management, and financial services. However, Mao Amin is not interested in his hundreds of millions of assets, but the "sense of security" he exudes.
For a scarred woman, what is most needed is a sense of security to heal the wounds of the soul.
The hurried glance in the crowd made Mao Amin deeply immersed in it, and decided to launch a strong pursuit of him. Just like when she seriously pursued her "singer dream", her offensive against Xie Zhikun has always been consistent.
She first asked for her sweetheart's phone number, and then began to invite them to dinner frequently.
In the face of such a fierce offensive, Xie was a little caught off guard at first. He had experienced a failed marriage, when he was fully engaged in his career and was not ready to fall in love.
However, Mao Amin's sincere emotions deeply touched Zhikun. From the initial reluctance to go to the appointment, to sympathy, and then to love, Xie Zhikun gradually fell in love with this true woman.
Although Xie Zhikun is rich, he prefers to enjoy the food of the roadside stalls with Mao Amin. Mao Amin believes that "plain is true", and insists that "the rich cannot be lewd, and the poor cannot be moved".
The values of the two are highly consistent, and their relationship quickly warms up.
In 2003, 42-year-old Xie Zhikun gently held the hand of 40-year-old Mao Amin and promised to spend the rest of his life together and never give up. This pair, who are a little "older newcomers" in the eyes of the world, have passed through the precipitation of the years, imprinted every day with their hearts, and lit up each other's life path with love.
Their love has been baptized by wind and rain, fearless gossip, and love each other without regrets.
After getting married, Mao Amin took the initiative to take off his star halo and turned off many jobs. From a one-sided red star to a good wife of a bird, she did not have any discomfort, but was full of happiness.
Xie is deeply intoxicated by this return to the true nature of life, and whenever he returns home, he is able to let go of the distractions of business and feel pure relaxation.
A ray of hope rekindled in Mao Amin's eyes, and she finally met this person who could be entrusted to her for life. This long-overdue love made her re-appreciate the beauty of life.
After marriage, Mao Amin completely shifted the focus of family life. She turned down a lot of performance opportunities to concentrate on running her small family. However, her desire for children gave her the idea of adventuring again.
Although he is 40 years old, Mao Amin still insists on having children for Xie Zhikun. Faced with his wife's decision, Xie Zhikun patiently persuaded many times: "If you don't have children, I will love you for the rest of my life!" But Mao Amin's determination has become more and more determined.
At her insistence, Xie finally agreed to the plan.
In 2004, Mao Amin gave birth to a lovely baby girl named Xie Jiatong at the age of 41. Two years later, they welcomed the birth of their son.
This pair of hard-won children made the two parents and the old people on both sides smile from ear to ear.
Because Mao Amin has two children, he has almost turned down all performances and devoted himself to taking care of the family. She never misses every important moment of her children's development, and she takes care of their daily life and food by herself.
Xie Zhikun was very supportive of his wife's decision, so that many companies had their properties written on Mao Amin's name. He and she share the ups and downs of business, the joys and sorrows.
Although Mao Amin has faded out of the public eye, she has not completely given up her career, she still cares about public welfare and uses her influence to help those in need.
At the same time, she also occasionally participates in some performances to maintain a connection with music.
Time flies, and eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Today, my daughter Xie Jiatong is 17 years old, and she has fulfilled her dream of becoming an actress and has starred in the movie "Chinese Doctor" and other works.
Mao Amin's 15-year-old son is a good student in the school, and she has a happy smile on her face watching the children grow up healthy and happy.
Over the past 18 years, the relationship between Mao Amin and the couple has been very sweet. They support each other and work together to deal with the difficulties and challenges of life. Whenever she sees her husband and children, Mao Amin's eyes always shine with happiness, as if everything is worth it.
However, happy times are always short-lived. Mei Wanjing thought that she had finally found a home in life and could enjoy her old age in peace, but fate once again gave her a cruel joke.
On December 18, 2021, Mao Amin's life took a major turn. Her husband, Xie Zhikun, died of illness at the age of 60. The news was undoubtedly devastating for Mao Amin, who was 58 years old at the time.
However, what is even more heartbreaking is that as a pair of "birds in the same forest" who were once like glue, Mao Amin couldn't wait for her husband to see her for the last time.
The pain of losing a lover was almost unbearable for Mao Amin, but as a mother, she had to be strong. She also has two minor children to take care of, two children, a 17-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son, both of whom still need her care and guidance.
Xie Zhikun's death not only brought Mao Amin the departure of his lover, but also shouldered a huge responsibility. As the founder of Zhongzhi Group, Xie Zhikun left behind assets worth more than 26 billion yuan.
Mao Amin is regarded as a "billionaire woman" who became rich overnight, but the pressure and controversy behind the huge wealth also followed.
In the face of sudden changes, Mao Amin's evaluation was mixed. Some say she is a winner in life, but they turn a blind eye to her pain of losing a loved one; Some people sympathize with her for being a "poor woman", but underestimate her strength.
In the face of these controversies, Mao Amin chose to remain silent. She understands that no matter what the outside world says, she must live bravely and strongly, both for herself and for the sake of her children.
Today, Mao Amin is facing new challenges in his life, not only managing a huge wealth on his own, raising minor children, but also dealing with a variety of complex social relationships.
For a woman who has just lost her husband, this is undoubtedly a huge life test.
However, Mao Amin has experienced countless ups and downs, and is confident that he will be able to overcome these difficulties. Although there was still sadness in her eyes, it was more of a firm conviction.
As sung in the song "Desire" back then, "The long road of life, seeking up and down, longing for a sincere life in my heart." No matter how much she loses the person she loves most, she still longs for a sincere life, for herself and for her children.
Mao Amin's story tells us that life is impermanent, but no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must live strongly, cherish the people in front of us, and strive to live every day.
Our lives go on, and we still have a long way to go.
