Life is too smooth to blossom brilliant flowers? Cai Guoquan, who is now 68 years old, may not think so. During the "Tan Zhang Struggle" period, Cai Guoquan was the only singer who grabbed a place, he created many golden songs, after peaks and silences, Cai Guoquan, who was originally ready to fight in the song world again, but because of a car accident, he was paralyzed and brain atrophy, and his life took a sharp turn.
More unfortunately, his wife disappeared shortly after, leaving Cai Guoquan, who was deeply ill, living alone in a nursing home. Fate has rewritten Cai Guoquan's brilliant life, 19 years have passed, how is he now?
In 2002, Cai Guoquan, who had been behind the scenes for 12 years, was preparing for his comeback, and he had originally planned to wait for the new year to release a new album and hold a concert.
I heard that the former singer king is going to re-emerge from the jianghu, and the fans are also looking forward to it.
The beautiful two-way rush is too late to achieve.
In November of that year, Cai Guoquan and a few friends went out to play, and the car they were riding on was passing through the Dongguan section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway when they had a flat tire accident.
After the out-of-control vehicle broke through the wire guardrail of more than ten meters, it flipped off the bridge and fell directly into the Mawei Reservoir with a depth of 10 meters.
The driver who passed by saw this tragic situation and called the police busily, and Cai Guoquan and others were able to escape.
They survived, but Cai Guoquan suffered a severe injury to the back of his head, and he was in a coma for a month before he woke up. Unfortunately, this accident still caused irreversible damage to Cai Guoquan's body.
After waking up, Cai Guoquan fell into partial paralysis and brain atrophy, and his language ability also dropped significantly, don't sing, and even speak clearly when he is serious.
When Cai Guoquan was supposed to get back on stage and sing his new song, he was forever trapped in an icy wheelchair, when he was 49 years old.
In the past, when Cai Guoquan was in full swing, it was others who rushed to please the fragrant food, and overnight, he who could not move became the "trouble spirit" in people's eyes, and anyone who saw it was afraid to avoid it.
At first, his wife also tried her best to serve on the side, but the long-term hospitalization consumed half of Cai Guoquan's savings, and his wife had to go to work in the garment factory and continuously supplement the money earned.
Fortunately, there are still some real friendships in the entertainment industry.
Cai Guoquan's Bole Lin Zhenye, together with Xu Xiaofeng, Tan Yonglin and other friends in the circle, held a concert of "Stars Gather to Care for Cai Guoquan Golden Melody Award", and used the proceeds of the fundraising to support the lives of Cai Guoquan and his wife.
After seeing that Cai Guoquan's living expenses had been settled, Cai Guoquan's wife, perhaps unable to withstand that kind of pressure any longer, resolutely disappeared for the rest of Cai Guoquan's life.
At that time, after Cai Guoquan was sent to a nursing home by his wife, his wife would occasionally come to visit once or twice, but the number of times was less and less, and even if he came, the time spent was getting shorter and shorter, and in the end he never appeared again.
A few years later, Cai Guoquan confessed in public for the first time that he had long been abandoned by his wife.
In front of the camera, he still gives a thumbs up, smiling, and makes people sigh that after experiencing the cold and warm of human feelings and the wind and rain of the world, he is still very strong.
If it were not for the sudden surprise, what would his artistic achievements reach?
At the concert to raise funds for Cai Guoquan, Xu Xiaofeng, the queen of the Hong Kong music scene, frequently shed tears, she leaned over to hug Cai Guoquan, and the friend in the wheelchair in front of her was also an indispensable person in her singing career.
In 1985, Xu Xiaofeng sang "Down the River Against the Current" with autobiographical overtones, and the song flew into thousands of households, and this song was written by Cai Guoquan.
That year was the most fruitful year for Cai Guoquan.
Before "Down the Current", Cai Guoquan wrote eight songs for Xu Xiaofeng, but Xu Xiaofeng, who has long admired Cai Guoquan's talent, was not satisfied, and finally this song, which wrote the hardships of life and fearless courage, inspired a generation of young people to work hard and also sent Cai Guoquan and Xu Xiaofeng to the podium of the 8th Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards.
Cai Guoquan became the only singer-songwriter to win the Best Lyrics Award for the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs of Radio Television Hong Kong.
In addition to writing a lot of gold songs for others, Cai Guoquan himself is also an excellent singer, that year, he released 3 albums, and also won a platinum record.
At that time, the Hong Kong music scene had "two kings and one queen", and Tam Wing Lin, Zhang Guorong and Mui Yanfang divided the world.
Their light is too dazzling, overshadowing many singers who are also very good in themselves, and Cai Guoquan is the "sweeping monk" who is no inferior even if he competes with the "two kings and one queen".
In the music world, Cai Guoquan is the kind of late bloomer, and when Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang are already in this industry, he is still working in an advertising agency.
After entering the industry, Cai Guoquan waited for another two years before releasing his debut album "Only Love You Once in a Lifetime", when he was 31 years old.
In the cracks between the Heavenly Kings and Queens, the fledgling Cai Guoquan reclaimed a new world.
"Don't Decorate Your Dreams", "Throw yourself into the future", "Cold and proud", "The Last Ferry"... Cai Guoquan, who can sing, write lyrics and compose music, became a hit and was recognized as an all-round singer-songwriter.
In addition to Xu Xiaofeng, Cai Guoquan also wrote songs for many Heavenly Kings and Queens.
Tan Yonglin has sung his "Red Light", "Time", "Gift", "Grass in the Wind";
Jacky Cheung also sang his "Forgiveness and Obedience".
Originally a competitive relationship, but each other can help each other, common achievements, such an atmosphere cast the Hong Kong music scene in those years colorful.
Musicians feel sorry for each other, but fans stand on their own bastions and tit-for-tat. The so-called "Tan Zhang Battle" is also derived from this, and the fans of the two parties have even fought in order to support their idols, and the two singers who are parties are also exhausted.
In the early 1990s, the "Tan Zhang Scramble" came to an end with the retirement of the two parties, and Cai Guoquan, who had always been diligent and low-key, also announced at this time that he left the stage and turned to the background.
At the beginning, the popular Cai Guoquan also dabbled in more fields like his peers, such as acting in TV dramas, but in private, he was actually incompatible with the strange entertainment industry.
He has a beautiful face, and wearing glasses highlights the aroma of books, but his whole mind is focused on creation, he is not good at communication, and many times he is always less open than others.
After saying goodbye to the concert, Cai Guoquan retreated into the background, focusing on creation and supervision, and the days with music made him feel more comfortable and comfortable.
After breaking through the bottleneck period, Cai Guoquan wrote a good song, and such a excited mood could not be hidden.
In 1992 and 1998, he had new works, and although he was no longer as active on stage as before, fans could still hear his good voice as before.
When he planned to make a full comeback, Cai Guoquan was 49 years old.
Fate failed to take him safely across the half-hundred hurdle of life.
Are fans ruthless? "Fans change their minds faster than their boyfriends." That's what gold agent Ho Wenxi said to TWINS when he was in popularity.
However, there are still some artists who have no longer been seen and have not been forgotten by fans of the past, such as Cai Guoquan.
After being abandoned by his wife, Cai Guoquan, who had limited mobility and the end of his creative career, made it worse, and his mentality became gray, and the idea of not wanting to live was always haunting his heart.
Fortunately, he has a bunch of sentient friends and kind fans.
In the past 19 years of living in a nursing home, Cai Guoquan has been living on the help of friends and fans.
With the encouragement of these well-wishers, Cai Guoquan also regained confidence and launched new works in the period from 2003 to 2008.
It was just that the idol who was originally full of spirit can only be dragged down by his body and withdraw from the stage of his heart.
Natural and man-made disasters cannot be predicted, and being abandoned by his wife is the biggest setback in Cai Guoquan's life.
"Husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, and they fly separately when the big trouble is imminent", a cliché, but it has become Cai Guoquan's real experience, which inevitably makes people sigh.
But in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, there are still some people who will stick to their original choices and never give up on their other half.
Eason Chan stepped on the air during the performance, fell off the stage, the doctor diagnosed that it may affect the fertility, and his wife Xu Hao was unmoved and always accompanied by the side;
Liu Jialing was kidnapped by the gangsters and took photos, shaking the entire Entertainment Circle in Hong Kong. After the accident, Liu Jialing had the idea of taking her own life, and it was Liang Chaowei who had been standing behind her to help her walk through the darkest time, and finally the two of them cultivated a positive result.
Yin Zhiqiang was plagued by nasopharyngeal cancer before his death, and although he was not married, his girlfriend Michelle, who loved each other, had been with him all the time, and for more than ten years, there was always a figure in front of his bed.
In 1985, Liang Jiahui, who was lost to the night market stall, met Wang Jianian, and later Liang Jiahui embarked on the peak of his life, but Wang Jianian was out of shape because of illness, and his figure was blessed, but Liang Jiahui also did not abandon his wife.
The world is uncertain, and the favor that fate has given to Cai Guoquan is only the glory of that short period of 6 years, and the others can only be brushed over with a "bad luck".
