Looking back at the songs of the 80s and 90s, the song that impressed me the most was "Waiting for a Thousand Years".
As we all know, this song is the theme song in "The Legend of the New White Lady" and has been sung to this day.
However, in countless versions, no one has been able to surpass the original song - Gao Shengmei.
She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a sweet voice with a natural voice.
It is a hot generation of singers, but unfortunately, it did not have a good ending, and fell to the business performance for a living.
So, what did Gao Shengmei go through? It all starts at the beginning.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12">01</h1>
Gao Shengmei's hometown is in Kaohsiung, and he has been a sensible child since childhood.
At that time, as long as there was indigenous ancestry, there would be some subsidies.
Unfortunately, the father was only half of the bloodline and did not meet the rules.
Without subsidies, it is impossible to support a family of six by relying on the salary of the father alone.
Often without enough to eat, sleeping on wooden boards, paying high rents, and constantly facing the risk of being evicted.
Although the life is poor, the family is very warm and happy, often around the song and dance.
Still looking forward to a better future life.
Several children, born with a good voice,
But even better is the youngest daughter, Gao Shengmei, who won the third place in the singing competition (district) at the age of 8.
At this time, she did not have the idea of being a singer.
Until the summer vacation of junior high school, she went to Taipei to play with her sister Gao Qianping.
She was attracted to her sister on stage and had the beautiful scenery, and she had the idea of becoming a singer.
Therefore, under the guidance of her sister, Gao Shengmei has made great progress.
In the year of the college entrance examination, I did not hesitate to apply for the singing training class and learn professional knowledge.

Until, at the age of 16, a dramatic story was released.
One day, a friend asked her to accompany her to the record company to audition.
As a result, the friend was defeated and he himself was chosen.
In this way, Gao Shengmei became a signed singer of the record company.
At that time, the company gave the condition that no matter how much it sold, a record was 100,000 yuan.
At a young age, where did she understand that the company still needed to pay royalties?
She only felt that she could finally use her ability to let her family live a good life.
Immediately after, the company created its first album "Edge" and went to Southeast Asia to promote it together.
Soon, with his sweet singing voice and outstanding appearance, he was recognized by the public.
After becoming famous, he began to transfer to Taiwan for development, participating in variety shows and releasing records, which can be described as busy.
As it turns out, this girl is on fire, the record is limited to one million, and is known as "Teresa Teresa's successor" and "Sweet Song Queen".
It can be seen how red she really was back then.

After becoming popular, Gao Shengmei attracted the attention of Qiong Yao.
In cooperation with Qiong Yao, he sang the theme song in the TV series "Colorful Clouds with Seagulls" and achieved good results.
She was 20 years old.
Not long after, Gao Shengmei collaborated with Qiong Yao again and sang the theme song of the play "Six Dreams".
At that time, she changed her old style, cut off her long hair, and replaced it with short hair and bangs, which triggered a wave of imitation.
Since then, Gao Shengmei has even won the theme song of Qiong Yao opera.
A great career development, became the most popular singer of that era.
At this time, she was no longer the ignorant little girl, and found that there was no reason in the contract.
Understand that the singer still has copyright fees, count down, let alone say that there are tens of millions.
After discovering the problem, Gao Shengmei also talked with the company once, but the effect was not very satisfactory.
Until, after the contract expired, she did not choose to renew the contract, but found the company again.
Unfortunately, the world is uncertain, and fate is confusing.
Rising stars, rapid rise, Taiwan is already a world of newcomers.
Therefore, Gao Shengmei came to the mainland to develop, from sweet songs after marriage, fell into the business to make a living, and never went back.

No matter how beautiful things are, they are always like fireworks, fleeting, and sad and lamentable.
Similarly, in the relationship, Gao Shengmei seems to be unsatisfactory.
The only ones I've ever admitted are two relationships:
In 2003, she said: Her boyfriend is an outsider, and his feelings have always been very good.
It has reached the point of talking about marriage, but in the end there is no follow-up.
At the age of 40, she said, her boyfriend was a cook, 11 years younger than herself.
Unfortunately, we broke up in the end, on the grounds that the values were not compatible.
Today, Gao Shengmei is 52 years old and still single.
In his spare time, he will accompany his mother, and at other times, he will take business and perform in the mainland for a living.
The former sweet song queen has fallen into a business performance, which is inevitable and makes people sigh.
And Gao Shengmei responded: There is no shame in receiving business performances, life always has to go on, and it is always necessary to support the family
No matter what kind of stage, it will be treated with its best state.
But in the end, there are still some regrets.
What do you think about Gao Shengmei?
