<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="309" > 23-year-old is popular all over the country, 38-year-old was "banned", Dong Wenhua's story is far more exciting than you think</h1>
Compared with Yang Yuying, who was involved in the "Yuanhua smuggling case" (you can click on the home page to view the article about "Yang Yuying"), another folk singer Dong Wenhua is more aggrieved.
At only 38 years old, he became a royal singer of the Spring Festival Gala, and appeared on the stage of the show thirteen times, only to be "banned" because of a group photo, and was silent for a long time.
Dong Wenhua and friends
Perhaps, many people feel unfamiliar with the name Dong Wenhua, but her works must be familiar to you.
"Fifteen Moons", "The Story of Spring", "The Great Wall" and so on, are all her proud works.
With short neat hair and a straight military uniform, he was once the most iconic folk singer, why would he be implicated in the "Yuanhua case"?
After more than 20 years, what is the current situation of Dong Wenhua?
In 1962, a baby girl was born in a working family in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
Beside her, the sister and the two brothers argued quietly, both wanting to be the first to hold hands with their sister.
This tearful baby is Dong Wenhua.
Like ordinary northeastern families, Dong Wenhua's family is not rich, and the family of six is crammed into a small bungalow, living a simple and warm life.
Because his parents were busy with work, Dong Wenhua's childhood was mostly raised under the care of his sister and brother, and his relationship with his sister was closer.
As the youngest child, he was pampered and most of his requests were met.
Dong Wenhua's sister is very fond of singing and has studied in the Children's Palace since childhood.
As Dong Wenhua grew older, her sister began to take her to the Children's Palace.
On the one hand, you can let your sister play, on the other hand, you can not delay your music lessons.
When he was accompanying his sister to class, the young Dong Wenhua had a strong interest in music.
Occasionally, listening to the teacher's lectures, he can also sing a few words along with them.
For her sister's love of singing, the sister was very surprised and raised her hands in approval.
As long as there is a chance, the sister will take Dong Wenhua to find the teacher of the Children's Palace and ask the other party to take a little bit of it.
Under the guidance of the teacher, Xiao Dong Wenhua mastered the skills and got up early every morning to practice his voice.
The family was also very happy to see the situation.
Once, Dong Wenhua was afraid that his voice would wake up his family and neighbors, so he climbed into the vat of pickles and sang.
This made my father feel sad when he saw it.
In order not to affect the rest of others and allow her daughter to sing, her father used her bicycle to drag her to the park to practice her voice when she went to work, and when the practice was over, she went home alone.
Music runs through Dong Wenhua's growth, and also deeply plants a seed of dreams in her heart.
At an old age, my sister no longer went to the Children's Palace to study, but went to work in the factory like her parents.
Over time, Dong Wenhua's opportunity to go to the Children's Palace gradually became less and less.
After going to elementary school, Dong Wenhua became a literary and artistic activist in the class, and every time there was a literary and artistic performance, she would not let go of the opportunity to perform on stage.
Without a classroom or desk, Dong Wenhua and his classmates sat under a large tree, and a blackboard hung from the tree.
Before the teacher arrives, she will happily sing a few words in front of her classmates.
When the singing ended, the applause from the audience made Dong Wenhua more determined his inner pursuit and confidence in singing.
After going to middle school, Dong Wenhua has grown into a big girl.
A baby face, a pair of almond eyes are cute and very spirited.
One day, the 39th Army of the Shenyang Military Region came to Dong Wenhua's school.
Looking at his brothers and sisters in military uniforms, Dong Wenhua's heart was full of longing.
When she heard that she had come to recruit literary and artistic soldiers from the amateur propaganda team of fighters, she could not help but be excited, rushed to the queue, reported her name, and sang a song "The Sun is the Reddest Chairman Mao's Dearest."
The song was loud and contained in sentiment, and the audience present all clapped their hands and applauded, and Dong Wenhua was recruited into the team by the leaders of the military region.
In fact, Dong Wenhua's academic performance is also very excellent, if he has been insisting on studying, I believe there will be a good development.
Singing is Dong Wenhua's dream, and the much-anticipated stage is the place she most yearns for.
When he first joined the army, Dong Wenhua was taken care of as a sister by others due to his young age.
But when her business ability gradually revealed, everyone was impressed by her.
With the youngest age and super ability, Dong Wenhua soon became famous in the army and attracted many suitors who admired her.
Zhang Nan, who plays a high-pitched actor in the literary and artistic soldiers, is one of them.
After Dong Wenhua joined the army, he cooperated with Zhang Nan to perform together, and he also had a private connection.
When Zhang Nan first saw Dong Wenhua, she was infected by her innocence and self-confidence.
However, due to the young age of the other party, Zhang Nan was afraid that his hasty confession would scare the other party, and a crush of many years began.
Most of the cultural and labor troupes are mainly the children of high-ranking cadres, and many dirty and tiring tasks are not willing to do.
Dong Wenhua, who thought that Dong Wenhua from the city was also a delicate big miss, who knew that she never showed affection, and the work that could not be done was rushed to do, and she did not want to drag down the performance progress because of her own problems.
Once, the cultural and labor troupe went to a high-altitude area to comfort the Shubian soldiers.
Many strong male comrades have not been able to withstand altitude sickness and bed rest, Dong Wenhua insisted on singing three songs on the stage, and when he stepped off the stage, his face was white and he did not say a word of complaint.
In her opinion, being able to sing on stage and be welcomed is the best reward for herself.
Every time Dong Wenhua braved the hardships to go to each city, Zhang Nan saw the pain in his eyes and in his heart.
Until three years later, when Dong Wenhua became a year old, Zhang Nan'an couldn't help but pluck up the courage in his heart to confess to her.
Despite waiting for such a long time, Zhang Nan's nervous palms were sweating, and the sudden confession also made Dong Wenhua's ears red.
Many times on the same stage at work, booing and asking for warmth under work, Dong Wenhua's lack of admiration for Zhang Nan is false.
But when he thought that his career had not yet achieved too significant results, Dong Wenhua still expressed his concerns to Zhang Nan and wanted to focus on his career for the time being.
In this regard, Zhang Nan expressed understanding and recognition, but in the future, he did not have to secretly like Dong Wenhua.
Fortunately, Dong Wenhua's efforts and Zhang Nan's dedication were quickly rewarded.
One day, when Dong Wenhua was singing "When I Became a Warrior" on the stage, tie yuan, the creator of this song, was sitting on the stage.
Tie Yuan is a famous military composer who has written many famous songs such as "I Stand Guard for the Motherland".
Watching the performance this time made him receive an unexpected surprise.
Before coming, Tie Yuan had written the song "Fifteen Moons", and when he heard Dong Wenhua's singing, he felt that this song should be sung by her.
Fifteen moons
Shine in your hometown and shine at the border
Peaceful nights
You miss me, and I miss it
I stood by the baby's cradle
You patrol the border lines of the motherland
I work on the farmland in my hometown
You are on duty on the frontier
Ah, there is your sweetness in the harvest fruit
There is also my sweetness
Oh, the Military Merit Badge
There's half of mine
There is also your half
I honor my parents for their hard work and resentment
You have sacrificed your life to your motherland at the cost of blood and sweat
I have a big responsibility for my family
You are defending national security
Ah, the prosperity of the motherland has your contribution
There is also my contribution
The reunion of thousands of families is my wish
It's also your wish
The song "Fifteen Moons" is composed by Shi Xiang and composed by Tie Yuan and Xu Xiyi.
Unlike other military songs, this song is very emotional and tells the story of soldiers' longing for their hometown.
After listening to the melody, Dong Wenhua was already deeply attracted by this song.
At that time, Dong Wenhua had been transferred from the Cultural and Labor Troupe to the Forward Song and Dance Troupe.
If she hadn't been excavated by Iron Source by chance, she would have become an opera singer by now.
The old recording facilities made it necessary for the singers to do it all in one go during the recording process, and if the middle was broken, they needed to start all over again.
In 1984, 22-year-old Dong Wenhua sang the song "Fifteen Moons".
The song won a gold medal in the singer competition held by Liaoning Television Station and became famous in China.
Subsequently, Dong Wenhua received an invitation from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala column group.
Watching Dong Wenhua's success, Zhang Nan, who had a crush on Ming Love, was a little ashamed of himself, feeling that he was much older than her, and he was not as good as her, and he wanted to retreat slightly in his heart.
What he did not expect was that Dong Wenhua actually called first and said: Zhang Nan, let's get married.
In Dong Wenhua's heart, Zhang Nan has long been a special existence, and his companionship and care over the years have been seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart.
Now that the career has been successful, it is time to start a family.
At the end of the year, Dong Wenhua and Zhang Nan held a low-key wedding, inviting only some close friends and relatives.
Dong Wenhua is a person who attaches great importance to her family, she grew up in the love of her parents and sisters and brothers, and she feels happy and proud to be able to enter into marriage with the people she loves.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 1985, director Huang Yihe insisted on outdoor live broadcasting in the Workers' Stadium.
Not to mention whether the technology of that year can be supported, it is difficult for actors to perform songs and dances in cool costumes in the cold wind.
That year's Spring Festival Gala performance was called the largest broadcast accident ever, and Huang Yihe was criticized for it.
In this Spring Festival Gala, many actors had physical conditions due to the harsh environment, and the sketch actors had no choice but to put on a large cotton jacket and memorize their lines and hurry off the stage.
Only 23-year-old Dong Wenhua, wearing a military uniform to maintain his super high standards, sang a song "Fifteen Moons" into the hearts of the audience inside and outside the TV.
The following year, Dong Wenhua sang the whole country again with the song "Looking at the Starry Sky".
I was looking for a star
It is so bright it is so affectionate
Those were eyes I had long been familiar with
I've seen you, you've seen me
The sky is far and wide
Even if you don't care to look at me and look at me
I also understand your feelings at this moment
In the depths of the night, I was staring at the star
It is so brilliant it is so crystalline
It was a heart I admired
I miss you, you miss me
The Sea Oath Mountain Alliance is loyal to each other
Even if you turn into a shooting star and leave resolutely
You also shine forever in my heart in my heart
Several times on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Dong Wenhua was completely on fire.
In order to make herself worthy of the label of "nationally renowned singer", she applied for the People's Liberation Army Art Academy and completed her interrupted studies.
Not long after the newlywed life, Zhang Nan and Dong Wenhua began to separate.
But Zhang Nan understood this very well, expressed support, and gave up the temporary plan to have children.
With the successive cheers of the Spring Festival Gala and other programs, Dong Wenhua became the most popular folk singer in the country.
After graduating in 1989, Dong Wenhua entered the General Political Affairs Song and Dance Troupe and became a colleague again with her husband Zhang Nan.
The two cooperated tacitly and created one wonderful performance after another.
The career has steadily climbed, and Dong Wenhua and Zhang Nan have also ushered in the crystallization of love.
In 1993, Dong Wenhua welcomed the little prince, and at the same time, another representative work of "The Story of Spring" was also in preparation.
The first domestic music grand prix is also on the agenda, which can be described as a good thing.
Since the first edition, Dong Wenhua has won the gold medal for five consecutive years, and some classic songs have been fired in the sky, becoming a unique "five consecutive champions".
It was Dong Wenhua's peak moment, and only Song Zuying could match it.
However, at the time of her most popularity, the "Yuanhua Case" East Window Incident occurred, and Dong Wenhua, who has been smooth sailing, tasted what is called "people walking tea cold".
Dong Wenhua was invited to participate in the performance when Yuanhua Group opened.
There was also a group photo with the main criminal Lai Changxing.
For a time, the outside world launched a public opinion attack on Dong Wenhua.
Controversy broke out, And Dong Wenhua's career was greatly affected, except for the necessary condolence performances, which almost disappeared from the public eye.
She could not be seen on TV stations such as the Spring Festival Gala, and the media made a big fuss about Dong Wenhua's banning.
Dong Wenhua did not explain anything about this, because she understood that no matter how much she said it, it would be futile.
With the attitude of a clean person and self-purification, Dong Wenhua chose silence.
In 2008, Hunan Satellite TV held a special evening party to commemorate the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up.
Perhaps it is difficult to refuse such an invitation, Dong Wenhua, who has been silent for many years, appeared at the recording scene.
After the reporter learned the news, he rushed to Hunan Television Station at the first time, but did not find Dong Wenhua's figure.
That's because Dong Wenhua's sister thought that there would be a reporter to interview the fading questions, and in order not to let her sister be hurt, she got into the car and left as soon as Dong Wenhua finished recording her part.
As if in a dream, Dong Wenhua disappeared again.
In 2009, 60 actors, including Dong Wenhua and Peng Liyuan, were awarded the title of "People's Favorite Artist", which completely washed away her name.
If Dong Wenhua really had anything to do with the Yuanhua Group, how could the state give her such a title?
The award swept away the controversy that Dong Wenhua had been carrying for nearly a decade, and the media and programs once again flocked to the show, hoping to invite Dong Wenhua to attend the performance.
But Dong Wenhua looked down on the disturbances of the entertainment industry during that period of silence, and kept a low profile after her comeback, rarely appearing on the screen again, and even the stage of the Spring Festival Gala could not see her figure.
More, Dong Wenhua put his mind on the family, accompanied his son to grow up, and became a strong support behind his husband.
It was not until 2012, when the China News Network interview program "Character Dialogue Room" invited Dong Wenhua as a guest, that Dong Wenhua once again appeared in front of the public.
Dong Wenhua despises fame and fortune, but has never given up his deductive career.
There are songs that suit her, and she will show up in the studio.
When a friend invites her to perform, he will also stand for her friend in a righteous manner.
In addition to this, she did not miss the charity event.
When opening a public welfare activity in the Hainan Tourist Area, Dong Wenhua sang his own songs on stage and raised a lot of money for children.
Following the central condolence group, they rushed to Tibet, Inner Mongolia and other areas with severe environments to comfort veterans and soldiers and participate in literary and artistic performances.
In 2019, Dong Wenhua appeared on social platforms in a high profile.
He collaborated with popular actor Zhu Yilong to sing the new song "Long Wen".
This is the first time in more than forty years since his debut that such a high-profile propaganda work has been made, and it is also another chapter in Dong Wenhua's re-entry into the public eye.
In August 2021, some netizens posted a video on social platforms.
In the video, Dong Wenhua is wearing a red performance suit and a neat short body to perform on the stage.
It is not difficult to see that in the time off the stage, Dong Wenhua still pays great attention to his body and maintenance.
It is also inevitable that some netizens who are familiar with her feel sorry that Dong Wenhua is suitable for a bigger and more gorgeous stage.
Once in the right red was pulled down by public opinion, Dong Wenhua got rid of the shackles of the "Yuanhua case", more than half a hundred years old but his voice is still the same.
The ancients said: Misfortune and happiness.
This experience slowed down Dong Wenhua's pace, and it was not necessarily a good thing to feel life and feel the love between his family.
Today, Dong Wenhua's and first love Zhang Nan have been in love for decades, and the son should have formed a family.
Fame and fortune is a double-edged sword, if he has been active under the camera, Dong Wenhua cannot protect his son so well.
"Yuanhua case" in the past 21 years, the implicated Yang Yuying missed the best opportunity for development, after ten years of psychological construction to start again, but unfortunately the entertainment industry is updated very quickly, and then comeback to lose her position.
And the emotional experience with Lai Wenfeng has also become an indelible pain in her heart.
There is no way to love anymore, there is no way to find someone who is as good to her as Lai Wenfeng, and there is no way back to the time when she was in her twenties and ignorance, and she can no longer feel the youth of her first love.
From being popular all over the country in her early twenties to participating in the talent show variety show in her fifties, Yang Yuying, except for the support of some former fans, everything looks like she has to start from scratch.
With the passage of time, Yang Yuying and Dong Wenhua are sticking to their dreams, never giving up, and never thinking of giving up.
As Dong Wenhua wrote in "The Voyage":
It's this dark night again, and I don't know where to pick up the pen
I want to remember it, but I don't know where to bring it up
I always believed that this road would be smooth all the way
I believe that life will be beautiful, the city will be prosperous and prosperous
Always choose to make a desperate bet for the sake of your dreams
But in the end, I wanted to start all over again
But I'm still doing real hipa
There has never been fear on this thorny road
I want to say something for you to hear from me
I don't want to continue this way, I don't want to continue to live
Still living this hiphop life
You don't make a mistake if you want to achieve your goals
Start to be a different self
Smashing those shackles of bondage is no longer a life of discouragement
Or this land I still stand here
I'm ready for everything and I'm going to start the uprising
Always choosing to make a desperate bet for the sake of dreams, but in the end he wants to start all over again, and there has never been fear on this thorny road.
