In the mainland music scene, I believe that the mention of Teacher Gu Jianfen can be described as familiar, she has devoted her life's time and energy to music creation, creating more than a thousand popular songs.
For example, works such as "Green Leaves' Affection for Roots", "Thoughts", "Meet Again in Twenty Years" and other works can be said to have deeply influenced generations, and she engaged in popular songs, and she began to create children's songs in her later years.
In this regard, teacher Gu Jianfen said:
"Today's children want the moon in the sky, and their parents will satisfy them, but the children want to sing their own songs, but there are very few." 」
Yes, it is such a good music writer who changed the fate of a generation of singers with a letter.
As we all know, Gu Jianfen has cultivated many excellent singers, and many of the Tianwang singers in the Chinese music scene are from her, such as Na Ying, Mao Amin, Sun Nan, Su Hong...
That was still happening in 1987 at the South Rasf International Music Festival, and everyone knows that Mao Amin won the third place in this international music festival, which successfully became a hit and laid the foundation for Mao Amin's position in the music world.
In fact, the person who represented China to the South Lasf competition was not originally Mao Amin, but Jin Weiling, at that time, Jin Weiling was not only redder than Mao Amin, but also defeated Mao Amin in the Chinese division, but because of a letter from Gu Jianfen, which changed all this, Jin Weiling's fate also changed, and a generation of singers fell.
The thing is, Jin Weiling grew up in the music house, and earlier won the first prize of the National Popular Song Competition, the peak of her career, in the 1987 South Rasf International Music Festival in China, there are three strong singers, they are Jin Weiling, Wei Wei, Mao Amin.
But the excellent Jin Weiling, successfully defeated Wei Wei and Mao Amin, won the championship of the Chinese division, originally It was Jin Weiling who went to Yugoslavia to compete, and the repertoire was Gu Jianfen's "Green Leaves to the Roots", but Gu Jianfen wrote a letter to the organizers at that time.
What the letter says: At the request of the songwriter himself, she hopes that her student Mao Amin will represent China.
It was this letter that allowed Mao Amin to successfully go to Yugoslavia and became a hit.
Gu Jianfen's approach made Jin Weiling have an idea, and she frankly said:
"At that time, I felt particularly unfair, it should have been me who went, it became her to go, when I was young and vigorous, I would feel that she stole my job." 」
In this way, Jin Weiling became suspicious and tired of the literary and art circles, and even withdrew from the music scene and left the stage, and a generation of songs came to an end.
Later, Jin Weiling was also very miserable, suffered a failed marriage, became a single mother, returned home, was also beaten by her brother, and even suffered from depression, almost walked on a desperate road, fortunately, the young daughter, pulled her. In order to be able to pull the eldest daughter, she actively treated and went to work as a nanny to earn a living.
Maybe life is like this, with big ups and downs...
