"I'm a singer and an actor, I'm not wearing a wedding dress for the first time, but none of it is my own, which is probably the regret of my life." Life is like this, sometimes you expect things, you think you have, but you don't have. Nothing, nothing, nothing. The last song, "Sunset Song", I want to say to you, the sunset is beautiful, just near dusk. —— Mei Yanfang
In the blink of an eye, Mei Yanfang has passed 17 years ago.
Mui Yanfang not only can sing and act superbly, but has been loved by everyone since her debut, and is also known as the "daughter of Hong Kong".
Her achievements have influenced an era that no one can surpass to this day.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" ></h1>
Mui was born in 1963 in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, to a poor fisherman family.
She has two older brothers and one older sister.
At that time, the traditional idea of "son preference" was still rooted in the blood of Chinese, and Mei Yanfang was a "money-losing commodity" who was disliked when she was a child.
Because her father died early, the family was very poor, and it was difficult to survive without a man in the family in that era, and the family could only rely on her mother's song and dance troupe to support the family.
Her mother had also thought about selling Mei Yanfang to a "good family" to get a good income, but she thought about it and was a little reluctant, so she could only give up.
Her mother's flash of softness allowed Mei Yanfang to escape the fate of being sold, but it did not allow her to get rid of the "son-preference" home.
Mei Yanfang looked good when she was a child, and she could sing and dance without being afraid of the stage, and this talent became her use value, and Mei Mama began to sell her capital.
Every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, Mei Yanfang and her sister would wear a dress full of sequins and be smeared on her face by her mother with inferior cosmetics, and then take the stage to start today's performance with constant urging.
At that time, singers were not called singers, but singers.
She has never formally studied art from a teacher, but has honed her song and dance in one stage performance after another.
In the era when the woman was not suitable to show her face and the actor was called "the lower nine streams", the little Mei Yanfang suffered from the blank eyes and ridicule of others.
Her peers in school looked down on her, and even when she was studying at school, she was often bullied by her classmates because she was a "singer".
At that time, the "singer" in the nightclub did not have a good reputation, and everyone was afraid of getting involved in the bad atmosphere and isolating her.
Although everyone mocked and scorned her, she always insisted that she never gave up, and then the painful life of a stepfather Mei Yanfang came to the family, but did not improve, but intensified.
Her stepfather scolded her all day.
These ten years of life have been called "hell on earth" by Mei Yanfang.
She once said:
"I don't have any regrets, the only regret is childhood, but I never shed a tear in front of my stepfather, and I kept swearing in my heart that I must make something to show him." 」

In 1982, Hong Kong hosted the first Rookie Singer Contest.
Mei Yanfang and her sister both signed up for the competition, but unfortunately her sister Mei Aifang was unfortunately eliminated in the competition.
At that time, a young man named Jacky Cheung also signed up, but he was eliminated after only two sentences.
The reason is simple: the singing is OK, it looks too ugly.
Unlike Jacky Cheung's situation, Stage-experienced Mei Yanfang will go all the way to the stage of the final.
On the night of the finals, she won the championship with a song by Xu Xiaofeng's "Season of the Wind" with a variety of performances and unique bass.
And was signed by Huaxing Records, which was in full swing at that time, and officially became a singer.
When the eyes of the whole Hong Kong were focused on her, the first thing everyone saw was the past that he did not want to recall.
Mei Yanfang's history as a "singer" was quickly pulled out by the media.
She began to wander endlessly, she did not feel that she had been unseemly, but she could not refute the prejudices of others.
So she didn't explain, didn't apologize, didn't respond, and still went her own way.
At that time, her first record "Heart Debt" was launched, and the company positioned Mei Yanfang as the girl next door, which was obviously contrary to the girl next door that the company had set up for her.
In order to change the dilemma of Mei Yanfang's frustration when she first debuted, the company matched Mei Yanfang to meet one of the most important people in her life, designer Liu Peiji.
Liu Peiji resolutely chose to launch Mei Yanfang's "bad girl" image.
With short hair and a suit, Mei Yanfang, who returned with a new look, caused a sensation in the entire Chinese music scene as soon as she appeared.
Mei Yanfang's "Bad Girl" also attracted the love of fans, setting a sales record of 720,000 copies in three months of release, and opening fifteen concerts in the Red Pavilion.
Every avant-garde and exaggerated shape that Liu Peiji tailored for her completely subverted the traditional aesthetics of Hong Kong people in the 1980s, setting off a wave of changeable Mui Yanfang.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three</h1>
Maybe some people are destined to be star-studded, so Mei Yanfang on the stage will look charming and cute no matter how wild and arbitrary.
At the same time, the Hong Kong media also referred to Mui Yanfang, together with Cheung Kwok Wing and Tam Wing Lin, as two kings and one queen, forming a glorious era of the triangle of the Hong Kong music scene.
Fame and fortune have brought her wealth but it has also made her family more greedy.
The eldest brother often asked Mei Yanfang for money from hundreds of thousands to millions, which was not a small amount in that era.
In order to meet the requirements of her family, Mei Yanfang can only take a full year's work and use the income in advance to fill the bottomless pit of the family.
Until Mei Yanfang found out that once the eldest brother asked him to pay off the debt of two million, but in fact, he only owed two hundred thousand debts, and these funds were squandered by his mother and the eldest brother, and it was not used to do business at all.
Mei Yanfang, who learned the truth, was disheartened, and he once said to Liu Peiji: I am not sad that my friends lied to me, I can only blame myself for not knowing people, but if even my family lied to me, I am really sad.
Mei Yanfang is filial but she is not ignorant, in order to make her mother no longer addicted to gambling, she began to limit her mother's pocket money, give him a fixed living allowance every month, and no longer give a large amount of money.
In the face of the eldest brother who has not changed his teachings, she has published a newspaper stating that she will no longer bear his debts, but Mei Yanfang has not let go of her responsibility to her family for a moment.
After her death, she also planned an education fund for her nephew and niece in her estate, but her mother, Qin Meijin, did not understand her daughter's good intentions.
When Mei Yanfang was alive, she pointed at Mei Yanfang's nose and scolded her for having no conscience.
After Mei Yanfang's death, in the face of a will that did not leave any property but only gave him 70,000 Hong Kong dollars a month for living expenses, Qin Meijin scolded Mei Yanfang's friends again and began her life of running to the court.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >4</h1>
The coolness of her family makes Mei Yanfang tilt her sustenance for her feelings more towards love, and she has always longed for a home that truly belongs to her in her heart.
As a "woman flower" swaying in the red dust, Mei Yanfang has been in the love field all her life, but she is always hostile to love.
Mei Yanfang has personally admitted that there are 7 paragraphs of love, and Mei Yanfang has a deep affection for every lover, but if you say that the most regrettable paragraph must be with Zhao Wenzhuo.
At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo was working as a coach in a gym, and mei Yanfang became a fitness student of Zhao Wenzhuo after being introduced by his friend Zhang Guorong.
In the continuous relationship, the two became lovers and spent a sweet time together.
Mei Yanfang, who fell in love, quickly revealed the identity of her boyfriend to the outside world, and Hong Kong Entertainment unscrupulously attached various dirty labels to Zhao Wenzhuo, eating soft rice, plotting against him, and taking care of him.
Finally, in the midst of successive slanders and insults, Zhao Wenzhuo and Mei Yanfang broke up.
Later Mei Yanfang said:
The Hong Kong media owes me a love.
In addition, the ambiguity between Mei Yanfang and Andy Lau, "lovers are not enough", is often mentioned.
Mei Yanfang and Andy Lau have known each other for more than 20 years, and she has publicly stated more than once that Andy Lau is the candidate for her husband in her mind, and even said on the stage: "If Andy Lau proposes to me, I will immediately agree."
At the Red Pavilion concert in 1999, Zhang Guorong shouted to the fans:
"At the age of 80, I still have to sing with Mei Yanfang, and then the whole audience will be free."
I just didn't expect that Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang didn't wait for the 80-year-old.
In 2001, Mei Yanfang was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and her sister Mei Aifang died of this disease.
When she heard the news, her mother immediately called Mei Yanfang, and the first thing she said was: How to divide your inheritance, first give me a sum of "lean money".
After putting down the phone, Mei Yanfang, who has always been strong, finally couldn't support herself and cried.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5</h1>
In the last moments of her life, she found her old friend Liu Peiji and asked him to design a wedding dress for herself.
With brilliant lights, luxurious stages, and gorgeous gauze skirts, Mei Yanfang held a grand and grand wedding for herself.
Perhaps at this time, Mei Yanfang was already strong enough to be invincible, but after the sea of clouds, she still only wanted to be stable in this world.
Dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress and draped in a beautiful crown, she picked up the microphone leisurely and gently asked the audience a question:
"Do I look good in my wedding dress?"
The audience shouted neatly, "Beauty! ”
That night, Mei Yanfang wore a wedding dress and sang the last song of her life, and then in the eyes of her friends and fans, she stepped on the stairs covered with red carpets and waved goodbye to everyone at the top.
Compared to a normal concert, it is more like a prepared farewell ceremony, a parting that has been prepared for a long time.
After 45 days, Mui Yanfang was sleeping forever at Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, and her last words to the world were: "Don't call me by my name."
This person, who has always liked to be lively, is still tired of the hustle and bustle of the city.
People like to use "the woman flower that never withers" to describe Mei Yanfang, because spring and summer are long, autumn harvest and winter are hidden, perhaps in a long time she can fade, can wither, but as long as you look at her again, all kinds of tenderness will still instantly gush into her heart.
This life is too bitter to do the queen of heaven, if there is a future life, may you have begun to live an ordinary life, and it must be a quiet and happy life.
