In 1963, Ms. Mui was born in a poor family in Hong Kong, a family of five who could only squeeze into a bed.
In order to survive, Father Mei decided to become a seafarer and come to pay for it faster.
Unfortunately, in that era when transportation and medical care were not developed, going to sea was equivalent to taking life to Bo.
Not long after, Mei's father contracted an illness on the ship and died, leaving orphans and widows to live together.
Fortunately, Mei Yanfang's mother, Qin Meijin, had several talents in singing and opera, so she opened a "Jinxia" song and dance troupe to make a living.
At that time, Mei Yanfang was only 4 years old, and she was caught on the stage by Qin Meijin and became a "singer" with her sister Mei Aifang.
In order to make more money, the little Mei Yanfang often carries a large teapot and walks under the stage to ask guests if they want to order songs.
In that mixed circle, Mei Yanfang was not less ridiculed and insulted.
But Qin Meijin, who is addicted to money, does not have the slightest pain for her two daughters, but constantly lets them practice songs, and specializes in picking difficult songs to sing.
After singing, Mei Yanfang's vocal cords were all ground out of cocoons.
Fortunately, Mei Yanfang is very talented in singing, as long as she opens her mouth, the whole audience is quiet.
Many guests admired her, and sometimes Mei Yanfang could get a bounty of six or seven hundred Hong Kong dollars a night.
Qin Meijin saw the Rich Sutra in Mei Yanfang, even if she went to school, she would not let her go.
At the age of twelve, Mei Yanfang and Mei Aifang began to perform and make money.
At that time, in order to catch up with the scene, they had to change into flowery clothes as soon as school was over.
As soon as they got on the bus, everyone looked at them with strange eyes.
Back at school, Mei Yanfang couldn't lift her head in the ridicule of her classmates.
In those years, Mei Yanfang made a lot of money, but this money flowed to the gambling table through Qin Meijin, and some of it was squandered by two idle brothers.
Later, Qin Meijin met a man and walked into the marriage hall again without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, what awaited Mei Yanfang was the hell under hell.
The stepfather was grumpy and preferred sons to daughters, and the sentence "money-losing goods" stabbed mei Yanfang's chest like a knife.
The difficult childhood made Mei Yanfang constantly seek compensation for love.
As a teenager, she loved male tutors and police officers.
However, the youthful love affair, accompanied by an immature mind, eventually ended in nothing.
And this is just a ripple in Mei Yanfang's sea of love.
No one expected that this bitter-faced girl would later sensationalize the whole of Hong Kong and leave behind a lot of tragic past events.

In 1982, Huaxing Records and TVB prepared to hold the first rookie singing competition, and the winner could directly sign a debut.
There were 3,000 people who signed up that year, and the music director Li Xiaotian looked around for potential singers.
One day, a friend and Li Xiaotian said, "There is a Mei Yanfang over there in Causeway Bay who sings very much like Xu Xiaofeng. ”
At that time, Xu Xiaofeng sang a song "Selling Tangyuan" all over the streets and alleys, and became red and purple with "Season of the Wind".
If you can dig up the second Xu Xiaofeng, it is another miracle in the music world.
Soon, Li Xiaotian ran to listen to Mei Yanfang singing, young, but the song was full of vicissitudes, a little interesting.
Therefore, Li Xiaotian found Mei Yanfang and invited her to participate in the competition.
But Mei Yanfang was very unconfident and afraid that she would not sing well, so Li Xiaotian suggested that she could come with her sister Mei Aifang.
In this way, Mei Yanfang and Mei Aifang stood on the stage of the rookie singing competition.
However, Mei Aifang was eliminated in the third round of competition, and Mei Yanfang reached the final in one fell swoop.
That song "Season of the Wind" directly surprised Huang Zhun and Gu Jiahui on the jury.
In the end, Mei Yanfang scored 99 points, and the point that was deducted was only because there was no perfect score for art.
This year, Mui Yanfang was 19 years old and kicked open the door of Hong Kong's entertainment industry in the midst of the stars.
Soon, Huaxing Company signed an 8-year contract with Mei Yanfang.
However, for The positioning of Mei Yanfang, the company has no idea at all.
Until the TVB series "Prodigal Son of border city" became popular, the theme song called "Heart Debt" resounded throughout Hong Kong.
Therefore, Huaxing decided to use "Heart Debt" as the name of Mei Yanfang's first album.
However, the album is a platter group, half sung by Mui Yanfang and the other half by the Hong Kong Tigers.
At that time, the "sweet singer" headed by Teresa Teng was popular, and the company packaged Mei Yanfang as a pure persona.
As a result, the album not only sold tepidly, but Mei Yanfang's background was dug up to the sky.
The former career of "singer girl" made Mei Yanfang collapse overnight and become a third-rate singer.
In the face of the guns and bullets of public opinion, she fell into endless darkness.
For a long time, Mei Yanfang did not dare to appear in front of the public, she could only hide in the corner, using night and night songs to numb herself.
When these pictures of smoking and drinking made media headlines, Mei Yanfang became a dusty woman in the mouths of others.
Watching Mei Yanfang become more and more depraved, Huaxing decided to fight again.
So they spent a lot of money to invite Hong Kong's top designer Liu Peiji to recreate the image of Mei Yanfang.
This battle-hardened big guy can see at a glance the "jianghu qi" in Mei Yanfang's bones.
He completely abandoned sweetness and made Mei Yanfang a "bad girl".
Soon, Mei Yanfang, who has short hair and a suit, appears in the second album "Red Mei Yanfang" with the atmosphere of maturity and resentment.
Sure enough, this album was a great success, quickly winning the sales of "five platinums", and Mei Yanfang's bold style made her completely out of the circle.
Since then, the Hong Kong music scene has begun to rise the "music + image" star-making road.
Mei Yanfang turned red, and the seeds of love began to sprout slowly.
03
In 1984, a series of dramas "Xiangjiang Flower Moon Night" made Mei Yanfang and actor Miao Qiaowei fall in love because of the play.
However, the love affair between Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen at that time was well known.
The appearance of Mei Yanfang undoubtedly made this love triangle into confusion.
Just when public opinion was fermenting, Miao Qiaowei, who stepped on two boats, still returned to Qi Meizhen's side.
At this time, Mei Yanfang was disheartened, but another man quietly walked into her life.
This year, zou Shilong, the son of a wealthy family, returned to Hong Kong to work for an advertising agency after studying in the United States for eight years.
By chance, he and Mei Yanfang met.
In the face of this charming man, Mei Yanfang almost fell in love at first sight.
In order to help her boyfriend develop his career, she did not hesitate to use all her resources to promote him to the entertainment industry.
But Mei Yanfang would never have thought that just when Zou Shilong became more and more popular with the label of "Mei Yanfang's boyfriend", he changed his mind.
It was at a cocktail party, zou Shilong fell drunk in the beauty vortex of "Pretty Huang Rong" Weng Meiling.
At that time, the relationship between Weng Meiling and the "Wireless Five Tigers" Tang Zhenye was in a bottleneck period, and the appearance of Zou Shilong just gave Weng Meiling an opportunity to "retaliate" against Tang Zhenye.
Mei Yanfang saw that Zou Shilong and Weng Meiling were "in agreement" and could only helplessly let go.
Who would have thought that just when the scandal between these two people was full of storms in the city, 26-year-old Weng Meiling had turned on gas at home for a hundred years.
It was 1985, and Mei Yanfang, who had nothing emotionally, was fruitful in her career.
Under the impetus of Huaxing Records, her self-titled album was popular in Hong Kong as soon as it was released, especially the title song "Like Water Flowing Year" became a classic in the classics.
However, this time, Mei Yanfang is no longer a "rebellious girl", and Liu Peiji directly built her into a "boy".
Up to this point, Mei Yanfang laid a solid foundation for her "after the changeable song" star road.
Soon, she will have the most important man in her life.
04
That year, the movie "Fate" brought Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang together and formed a lifelong fate.
Since then, the pair of "golden boys" have often been in pairs, and have made a promise of "marrying at the age of 40 or single".
Unfortunately, none of them could keep this promise.
Zhang Guorong is Mei Yanfang's brother-in-law, and in order to support this sister, he has made no less effort.
At that time, after Zhang Guorong became popular in Hong Kong with "Monica", he invited Mui Yanfang to test the water and prepare for his concert for the first concert in the Red Pavilion.
This New Year's Eve, Mui Yanfang sang fifteen times in a row in the Red Pavilion, and the venue was full, once breaking the solo singing record of Hong Kong singers.
Soon, Mei Yanfang released her fourth album "Bad Girl" while it was hot, and sold 720,000 copies in three months, surpassing all the singers of the same period.
Huaxing Records looked at the label of "rebellious girl" so popular, and successively helped Mei Yanfang to create albums such as "Demon Girl", "Like Fire Tango", "Lady" and so on.
At this point, Mui Yanfang's career entered a climax, becoming a well-deserved big sister in the Hong Kong music scene.
It's just that the gift of fate is always calculating the price behind it.
In 1986, at a celebration banquet, Mei Yanfang and Kondo Makoto met.
At that time, Makoto Kondo was a popular idol in Japan, and the song "A Thousand And a Thousand Songs" that was popular all over the country was a cover of him.
This man not only has musical talent, but also captures beauty.
On the dance floor that night, Makoto Kondo kept inviting Mei Yanfang to dance, and danced happily, and he quietly said in Mei Yanfang's ear: "Can I kiss you?" ”
Mei Yanfang nodded, and kissed and made love like this.
Mei Yanfang, who is immersed in the sweetness of love, would never have thought that she was in love with a scumbag.
At that time, in order to see Makoto Kondo, Mei Yanfang went to Japan 7 times a year, and bought an apartment in Japan, just to wash and cook for Makoto Kondo, even brushing the toilet.
Just when Mei Yanfang fantasized about being a happy housewife, a bloody farce was waiting for her.
05
Before Mei Yanfang, the love affair between Makoto Kondo and Akira Nakamori was well known in Japan.
Nakamori is The successor of Momoe Yamaguchi, and her smile touches the hearts of all Japanese men.
But this top actress, how did not expect that Kondo Makoto, who has a perfect personality, would hide her love affair and betray herself.
Mei Yanfang, who learned the truth, tore her heart and lungs, but still decided to break up with Makoto Kondo.
Everyone thought that Makoto Kondo would return to Nakamori's side.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and got involved with Nakamori's rival, Matsuda Seiko.
Later, the story is even more magical, the devastated Nakamori Akira almost cut his wrist to commit suicide, and Kondo Masahiko used a farce of "Golden Screen" to make Nakamori Akira fall off the altar.
Despite All the evil deeds done by Makoto Kondo, there is a sequel to Mei Yanfang and his story.
In 1988, after the love broke Makoto Kondo, a "Rouge Buckle" allowed Mei Yanfang to win the "Four Materials Shadow Queen".
Just when this movie hit the screen, her and Zhang Guorong's scandal entered a climax.
Mei Yanfang was afraid of the dark, zhang Guorong opened two rooms, and watched her night and night.
Zhang Guorong did not like Mei Yanfang to go to the nightclub, and she never went there again.
However, this scandal eventually dissipated in Mei Yanfang's dewy love affair.
In 1990, Mei Yanfang's boyfriend was changed from bassist Shan Liwen and MV actor Liu Migao to college student Paul.
But every relationship begins vigorously and then ends in a hurry.
At this time, Mei Yanfang has won the "Most Popular Female Singer" of Hong Kong's top ten songs for five consecutive years, and her solo singing in the Red Pavilion has reached 30 performances.
With a soft hand for the award, she simply withdrew from all the music awards and left a little way for newcomers to live.
This year, Mei Yanfang was 27 years old, and she was both famous and wealthy, and what she longed for most was still her family.
At that time, Mei Yanfang and Andy Lau collaborated on a "Kawashima Yoshiko", and the love between the two extended from the play to the outside of the play.
Mei Yanfang admired Andy Lau very much and publicly said that her boyfriend would be like him.
Just when the scandal between the two became well known, Andy Lau told Mei Yanfang: "I already have a girlfriend Zhu Liqian. ”
Just when Mei Yanfang was lonely, her old acquaintance Lin Guobin broke into her world.
This dawn-like Lin Guobin was born as a Dragon Tiger Martial Master, or a disciple of Jackie Chan.
Soon, Mei Yanfang lived with him in Yangming Villa and lived a married life with no name.
Mei Yanfang is very dependent on her boyfriend, as long as Lin Guobin does not return home in time, she will go on a hunger strike and resist.
Lin Guobin was very much ate this set, and secretly made a marriage promise.
Just when the two were in love, Mei Yanfang quietly made a decision.
06
In 1991, Mei Aifang, who had found nothing in the entertainment industry, retired from the circle to get married.
Looking at her sister's happiness and happiness, Mei Yanfang was envious.
After the release of the album "Intimate Lover", Mei Yanfang opened 30 farewell concerts in a row and announced that she would temporarily leave the stage.
As soon as this news came out, the whole of Hong Kong boiled over.
Those fans who are obsessed with her, crying, crying, screaming, all do not give up.
But before Mei Yanfang could marry a woman, a farce quietly changed the trajectory of love.
In 1992, Mui Yanfang and Lam Kwok Bin went to a karaoke club in Kowloon Tong and happened to be run over by Macau film dealer Wong Lang Wai.
This lord with a head and a face in Hong Kong wrote a million check on the spot and let Mui Yanfang sing a song.
Mei Yanfang did not eat this set, so she found a reason to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Huang Langwei, who could not open his face, directly gave Mei Yanfang a slap and left a harsh word.
Looking at the arrogance of the other party, Mei Yanfang asked for help to Taicai to get out.
I thought that the matter would end here, but in the era when the underworld was involved in the entertainment industry, this storm was not so simple.
Just when the "Mui Yanfang was slapped" incident was raging in Hong Kong, Huang Langwei was seriously injured by a group of horse boys, sent to the hospital and shot.
This is a major event that concerns people's lives, Mei Yanfang has become the target of everyone, and it is rumored that the underworld has issued a hunting order for her.
There was no way, Lin Guobin could only take Mei Yanfang around to avoid the wind, and it was half a year.
It was during this time that the relationship between the two became the headlines of the entertainment media.
The combination of big sisters and unknown small actors in the Hong Kong circle naturally faces many controversies.
Soon, the outside world began to spread that "Lin Guobin eats soft rice".
In the rain of bullets and bullets in public opinion, Lin Guobin's dignity as a man was violently trampled on.
During that time, he and Mei Yanfang always quarreled over a small matter.
After the quarrel, Lin Guobin directly moved out of Mei Yanfang's home and borrowed wine all day long to pour sorrow.
This is the closest Time Mei Yanfang is to marriage, but unfortunately she still can't escape the end of the breakup.
07
In 1994, Mei Yanfang returned to the music scene with the album "It's Like This", and the song "Where Is The Love" was heartbreaking.
This year, Zhao Wenzhuo gave up the opportunity to teach at the school and turned south to seek his film dream.
During the filming of "Golden Jade Mantang", he and Zhang Guorong formed a gentleman's friendship.
Under the recommendation of Zhang Guorong, Zhao Wenzhuo and Mei Yanfang met.
In the face of this young man who was 8 years younger than himself and full of narrow meaning, Mei Yanfang fell.
Soon, the picture of the two vacationing in Malaysia was bumped by the paparazzi, and the relationship was exposed.
Under the nourishment of love, Mei Yanfang opened the concert to the mainland.
In the face of the enthusiasm of the fans, she sang the song "Bad Girl" with great interest.
This song, which is too large, has long been banned in the mainland.
With this singing, Mei Yanfang was directly banned by the mainland for seven years.
Complete one's misery.
That year, under the coercion of public opinion, Zhao Wenzhuo was described as a small white face who relied on Mei Yanfang to ascend to the throne.
Just when they were being tested, Zhao Wenzhuo had a scandal with Wu Qili while filming "Huang Feihong".
You know, before Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Qili and Lin Guobin also had a scandal.
It can be said that Wu Qili is a thorn in Mei Yanfang's heart.
Soon, the scandal became the last straw that crushed the camel.
In 1996, Mei Yanfang and Zhao Wenzhuo officially broke up.
After the breakup, Mei Yanfang and Zhao Wenzhuo met by chance at Ren Dahua's wedding, the reporter wanted to give the two a group photo, Mei Yanfang gladly accepted, and Zhao Wenzhuo walked away without looking back.
The regret left by this fate to Mei Yanfang for half a life has also made Zhao Wenzhuo bear the infamy of many years.
In 1997, Mei Yanfang played Gu Manlu, who was obsessed with love, in the movie "Half Life".
This tragic role made her win two trophies for Best Supporting Actress in one fell swoop.
The following year, she won the "Golden Needle Award" in the Hong Kong pop music scene, which brought her singing career to a successful end.
No one expected that this music legend would also have a day of "acting".
08
In 1999, after the return of Hong Kong, Mui Yanfang was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
For this grand event, Mei Yanfang changed the bitter love of the past and combined Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts" into a song "Bright Moonlight Before the Bed".
That year's Chinese New Year's Eve night, Mei Yanfang was the presence of everyone's attention.
Unlike other flower-packed programs, Mei Yanfang wore a black fluffy hat and expressed Li Bai's state of mind with exaggerated and ghostly dance moves.
This unique way of performing is obviously challenging the audience's cognition and aesthetics.
Soon, some people began to criticize Mei Yanfang's performance of "ghostly sensen".
Of course, some people excused her, saying that the time was in a hurry and was not ready, and there were also people who said that the equipment was malfunctioning.
In any case, this Spring Festival Gala, Mei Yanfang was not as satisfactory.
However, Mei Yanfang did not have time to reflect on her performance, and she ushered in the biggest bad news in her life.
This year, Mei Aifang, who has been battling cervical cancer for many years, her condition deteriorated rapidly.
Mei Yanfang looked at her sister lying on the hospital bed, telling her that every day should not be called the earth.
What made her even more desperate was that she had also found the same cancer, but she did not tell anyone about this news.
Since then, Mei Yanfang has slowed down the pace of her career, and she set up the "Mei Family Class" to focus on supporting the younger generations.
Grasshopper Band, Xu Zhi'an, and Tan Yaowen have all received guidance from Mei Yanfang, while He Yunshi and Peng Jingci are her closed disciples.
This year, Mei Yanfang was 37 years old, and the disease still failed to stop her pursuit of love.
At that time, Tao Zhe held a concert in Hong Kong, and the love songs were mesmerized by Mei Yanfang.
But this fate, until Tao Zhe and his girlfriend broke up, officially took root.
In those two or three years, While maintaining conservative treatment, Mei Yanfang shined in the movie "Zhong Wuyan" and "Man Forty".
In 2002, the 20th anniversary of Mei Yanfang's entry into the industry, in order to commemorate this special year, she joined 11 friends to create a new album "with".
With this album, she started a concert tour.
At that time, the mainland had lifted the ban on Mei Yanfang, and she sang in Shanghai, and a ticket was hard to find.
Everyone thinks that coming to Japan is long, but they don't know that at this time, Mei Yanfang's life has entered the countdown.
09
In 2003, Zhang Guorong jumped down and caused a sensation across the country.
Faced with the departure of her best friend, Mei Yanfang was defeated, followed by a worsening of her condition.
Soon, she and Tao Zhe broke up and confessed to the outside world the news that she had cancer.
However, looking at the concerns of the outside world, Mei Yanfang still did not tell the truth, she bluntly said that the tumor is benign and will soon be cured.
In July of that year, Mei Yanfang was going to have surgery, but before the operation, she was determined to go to Japan to see Makoto Kondo.
At that time, it coincided with The birthday of Makoto Kondo, and Mei Yanfang and his party celebrated his birthday at the bar.
The two had not seen each other for six or seven years, and Mei Yanfang was happy like a child.
As for the illness, she didn't say a word.
After returning to China, Mei Yanfang's cancer cells metastasized to the liver, ascites was severe, and the waist circumference was several days larger than usual.
Long-term chemotherapy made her hair fall out a lot.
But in November of this year, Mei Yanfang still stood on the stage of the Red Pavilion and opened the last concert in her life.
She wore the wedding dress customized for her by Liu Peiji, telling the regret of not being able to get married, which made the people in the audience burst into tears.
More than a month later, Mei Yanfang died of lung failure due to cancer.
The Hong Kong government issued an obituary: "Don't do it! Daughter of Hong Kong! 》。
That night, the whole world wept for the day after.
After Mei Yanfang left, Zhao Wenzhuo was once again labeled as "thin and widowed" and pushed to the cusp of the storm.
Zhao Wenzhuo did not explain anything, but at Mei Yanfang's funeral, he sent this old lover the last journey with eight big characters of "the most loved in this life, all the way good".
Mei Yanfang once said: "If it were not for the misunderstanding, I might have become Mrs. Zhao." ”
However, the deep love is shallow, and the creation is to make people.
