Chen Qiuxia's entertainment career was short, debuting in 1974 to retiring in 1981, but only for seven years.
But in these seven years, Chen Qiuxia has achieved impressive results - the champion of the singing competition, the winner of the gold and platinum records, the winner of the Golden Horse Film, the conquest of the Japanese music scene... Dazzling and dazzling, it has become a legend.
She, as the name suggests, the autumn water is long, the light of the sun, the brilliant and colorful, the surprise is a moment, and then disappears, leaving only infinite sighs.
(i)
Chen Qiuxia's father, Chen Guoti, was a Suzhou native who grew up in Hong Kong and ran a hardware business, and her mother, Weng Yanfang, was a lady of the family, and her mother's family was a military family with high rank.
Chen Guomei was handsome, and Weng Yanfang was willing to marry poor - later, she often warned her daughter not to be "greedy and beautiful", and a leather bag was not top, and sure enough, Chen Qiuxia obeyed her mother's orders, abandoned Zhong Zhentao, and married a rich "old man".
It is said that Chen Qiuxia's grandfather could not only lead soldiers to fight, but also knew numerology, and he once calculated that Weng Yanfang would enjoy the blessings of a daughter, so she gave birth to three children in a row, two of which were daughters, and was determined to enjoy the blessings brought by her daughters.
Chen Qiuxia is an old man, her sister Chen Meibao is eight years older than her, and her brother Chen Haowei is one year older than her, and her childhood was spent in "pain and happiness".
Because Chen Qiuxia is young and sweet and cute, she is spoiled by her family, but her parents discipline her strictly, sleep, living and eating are arranged very regularly, and her conduct, politeness, and homework are also strictly supervised, and there must be no meticulousness, such as at the table, she is because she "does not understand the rules", I don't know how many chopsticks have been tapped. In particular, Chen Guoti's temper is a bit grumpy, often hairy, and his brother of similar age loves to quarrel with his sister and even fight (Chen Qiuxia also started to fight with Chen Haowei when she was 18 years old), so Chen Qiuxia called her family a "warm and violent family".
Parents, brothers and sisters, for Chen Qiuxia this baby girl is love and "afraid", do not know whether it is the inheritance of "half immortal" grandfather, Chen Qiuxia from childhood the sixth sense is very sensitive, once dreamed that there was a dead person in front of the house, the next day her mother told her grandmother died in the mainland; another dream of an unknown old man with cancer, and later inquired about the old workers of the same classmates just had cancer; there was also a dream of his father riding a horse, Chen Guoti immediately ran to buy lottery tickets, won more than 2,000 yuan ... You say, if she tells her parents one day, "Daddy, Mommy, I dreamed of you burping yesterday", and don't scare people to death? Therefore, we must provide for our daughters well.
Chen Qiuxia grew up more interested in this set of things, love to show people palms, Chen Meiling is one of the patrons. Chen Meiling's palm prints are in the shape of a "Chuan", and she analyzed that girls with this kind of palm prints usually marry late, preferably for ten years and eight years. As a result, Chen Meiling's late marriage was indeed late (married at the age of 30), but her husband was only one year older than her. "I believe in your evil," Chen Meiling must have muttered in her heart on the day of her wedding.
In addition to her own calculation, Chen Qiuxia also asked others to calculate for her. Some xiangshi said that she would be lucky to be 35 years old, and everything was smooth before, and she did not worry about the wind and waves. Well, she retired early when she was still lucky; some xiangshi said that she laughed and had two curves on her cheeks, which was for the "entrance to the vine snake", and there would be stomach problems in her later years. Well, she did not dare to lose weight, and was given a flower name by Wen Na Wuhu as "Brick And", "Brick And Mortar Big Ship" is also; another high person said that her mouth has edges and angles, and the snake is difficult to enter, and it is okay at all. Well, she started to lose weight again, trying to turn the big ship into a small sampan.
Some of the spirits of the xiangshi were not, some of them had not been fulfilled for ten or twenty years, and some of them had revealed their heavenly opportunities on the spot. This is not, Chen Qiuxia was a child, Xiang Shi pinched her fingers, she five elements of water, the voice just fell, when she was 7 years old, the family went to Shi'ao to play, she let a big wave roll into the sea, rescued when she had drunk a stomach water, in a semi-coma. Since then, she has not swam again.
In short, the love is severe, resulting in Chen Qiuxia's childhood can not be like the neighborhood children blindly wandering around, more spent at home, her parents bought her a lot of dolls to accompany, her favorite doll, is a birthday gift sent by her mother when she was 6 years old, whenever there is a plane at Kai Tak Airport through kowloon city where her family lives, she will cover the ears of this doll to prevent being "frightened".
Such a noisy environment, she became famous but did not want to move away, because the bedroom she lived in faced the Lion Rock, and from a distance it looked like a lion crouching there, protecting her and making her extremely lucky. In the end, it is still superstition.
(ii)
Chen Qiuxia's sensitivity to music has been expressed since she was one year old.
Just turned one year old, Chen Guoti and Weng Yanfang often turned on the radio to listen to music after she was asleep, one day, the sound was slightly louder, found herself climbing up, swinging and jumping with the beat of the music, at first, her parents thought that the music woke her up, so they turned off the radio, she also immediately lay down and fell asleep, the adults only felt strange, but did not think much.
When he was two years old, his brother Chen Haowei should go to kindergarten, but he refused to go to kindergarten, Weng Yanfang and the teacher said, it is better to let his sister read together and be a companion, Chen Qiuxia entered the school a year earlier. At this stage, other children love to watch cartoons, but she prefers to watch music programs, and singing is more accurate and better than other children, praised by teachers, parents know that their daughter is a good music seedling.
In elementary school, Chen Qiuxia attended Kowloon Tong Xuandao Primary School, and at that time, she was full of love for everything, especially in literature and art, performance, piano, dancing, painting and so on.
Chen Qiuxia has a "stunt", you can say crying, no need to prepare, brewing, so as long as the class, school rehearsal program has a crying role, the teacher will think of her, making her cry and cry every day, her parents also think that she was bullied at school. In the future, her films will be mostly tragic, which is not unreasonable.
As long as the performance is good, as long as it has its own "faucet", Chen Qiuxia will not worry about showing, but piano, dancing, and painting need to be learned to master.
On that day, Chen Qiuxia, a second-grader, jumped in front of Weng Yanfang: "Mom, I want to learn to dance ballet." Weng Yanfang was shocked and said: "Girls dance, and their thighs are easy to become thicker, which is not good-looking." "Mom, then I'm going to learn to draw." "Child, a painter can only be famous if he dies, and he can't earn money when he lives, so don't learn." "What about the piano?" Chen Qiuxia's eyes now expected that this was the only wish she had left. Weng Yanfang looked at her daughter, wanting to stop talking, not that she did not let her children learn these, it was really not allowed by the family economy, she thought for a moment, said: "Well, as long as you find a free piano teacher, your mother will let you learn." ”
Chen Qiuxia jumped and walked away, this matter did not seem to be difficult for her,
The next day, Chen Qiuxia found the school's music teacher, her eyes blinked, showed a cute smile, and begged the teacher to teach her piano for free. The teacher smirked and nodded in agreement.
In this way, Chen Qiuxia officially threw herself into music, that year, it was 1964, she was 7 years old. In the same year, she participated in the Children's Orchestra Singing Competition organized by Radio Television Hong Kong and won the first prize.
From the beginning of learning piano, Chen Qiuxia began to take the overseas piano examination sponsored by the Royal Conservatory of Music, which basically progressed from one level to the next, and by the age of 15, it was already the eighth level of piano.
At the same time, in 1969, Chen Qiuxia won the first prize in the piano group of the Hong Kong Inter-school Music Festival Competition. In 1970, at the age of 13, she taught at home, and the first student was a 28-year-old American who was able to achieve financial self-reliance by teaching piano. In fact, Chen Qiuxia has an economic mind very early, when she was a child, every New Year's Day, she used a brush to write the word "God of Wealth" on the red paper, going door to door to "send" to the neighbors, the neighbors always gave her a dime or two to ask for a lottery head, and in the next few weeks, the pocket pipe was enough.
The piano was Chen Qiuxia's best friend in her youth, however, a good friend may also be "disliked".
When Chen Qiuxia was in middle school at Minsheng College, because people could play the piano and sing sweet songs, they were famous school flowers, attracting many boys to pursue, and she hand-picked one in it and talked about love. This boy, one said to be the son of the piano teacher, the other said that he was a classmate in the next class, anyway, he loved to death.
When Chen Guoti and Weng Yanfang learned of this matter, they strongly opposed it - the daughter was only 16 years old, a typical early love. A large stick was waved high to break up the pair of little Mandarin ducks. Chen Qiuxia ran away from home for this reason and stayed at her sister's house for a while to show her uncompromising to the feudal patriarchy. But soon she returned home in ashes.
The relationship eventually ended with graduation, and the boy went to study in the UK, but it didn't end. Since then, this boy has become a tool for Chen Qiuxia to send the media "Do you have a boyfriend" question, but the study location has been changed to the United States.
In addition to boys, the biggest opponent of the piano was actually martial arts.
It is said that before Chen Qiuxia took the piano exam at the eighth level, she was suddenly fascinated by a mysterious martial art eagle claw skill, probably she wanted to use this to fight off those annoying suitors, or to compete with her brother's Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms. This kung fu, she learned for three months, the piano did not have time to play, until the exam approaching, she practiced several consecutive all-night piano, successfully passed.
In 1974, Chen Qiuxia graduated from high school. What awaits her will be a vast and wonderful world.
(iii)
Chen Qiuxia, who graduated from middle school, did not go to college, but became a worker, perhaps her energy was all focused on music and eagle claw skills, which affected her studies.
Chen Qiuxia applied for the secretary of a successful spinning factory, typing during the day on weekdays, teaching students at night, and then going to sing and sing at the scene of folk song activities on weekends.
Some people recall that at that time, the auditorium of the YMCA held a folk song evening, and Chen Qiuxia participated in the performance under the name rowena Chan, shy, simple and clear, and an English song was sung with great vigour. Soon, Chen Qiuxia became a star, and her name was changed to Chelsia Chan, which had a feeling of being lost in a trance.
How did Chen Qiuxia become a star? It is inseparable from the old routine of participating in competitions.
In 1974, Chen Qiuxia, who had not been in the society for a long time, signed up for a singing competition organized by commercial radio and won the third place with "I'll Be There". Then, under the recommendation of his brother-in-law Kwong Junneng, he occasionally appeared on TV. Kwong Junneng is the boss of an international supermarket, loves acting, and joins TVB as a basic artist by playing tickets, so he has a certain ability.
Singing competitions and TV appearances made Chen Qiuxia stare at Liang Baitao. Liang Baitao once worked as Chen Meiling's manager, since Chen Meiling went to Japan in 1972, he looked around for a successor, and finally found - the same folk singer, the same kawaii girl, the same untouched in the world, the two are too similar! Liang Baitao immediately found the Chen family (Chen Qiuxia was not yet a minor) and offered to be Chen Qiuxia's manager to help her enter the music scene. The Chen family has no objection to this, the work is the same, everything is the same. Not to mention Chen Qiuxia, who likes music herself, is exactly what she wants.
In December 1974, the Chen family and Liang Baitao signed a manager contract, which was divided into three years of death and two years of birth, and all income was divided into 46 accounts, and Liang Baitao took 40%.
This sub-account ratio laid the fuse for the future contradictions between the two sides. But Liang Baitao did have the ability, and through some operations, Chen Qiuxia quickly attracted attention in a very short period of time.
First of all, he signed a contract with Poly Gold (Polydor), became a professional singer (Chen Qiuxia resigned from the spinning factory and worked for three months), and recorded his first single record "Our Last Song Together".
Second, "bundle sales" with Wen Na to bring the old to the new. Liang Baitao is also the manager of the Wenna band, and it is incumbent upon The Five Tigers to help the little sister. On Christmas Eve in 1974, Chen Qiuxia appeared in Wen Na's performance at the North Point Town Hall, which was a newcomer's ceremony. After that, she and Wennardo collaborated, they made movies together, held concerts together, attended events together, performed in Southeast Asia together, filmed TV specials together, and even ate together, watched movies together, and played bowling together.

Chen Qiuxia thus established a deep friendship with Wuhu, when she married, Tan Yonglin was the best man, the principal was the grandfather of her three daughters, she closed the wheat for many years in 2001 and opened a golden voice, and was also a guest at Tan Yonglin's concert.
As for Zhong Zhentao, that's not to mention, which will be described in more detail later.
Third, he made a cameo performance in TVB's "Happy Tonight" and was widely welcomed with his sweet looks and beautiful singing voice.
Finally, he participated in the "Hong Kong Pop Songwriting Invitational Competition" held by TVB on September 28, 1975, and won the "Best Composition Award" and "Best Performance Award" with the song "Dark Side Of Your Mind" composed by himself and lyrics by Leung Pak Tao and Patrick. He also represented Hong Kong to Japan to participate in the "World Song Festival" and show his style on the international stage.
At first, "Dark Side Of Your Mind" was called "Backside Of Your Mind", Chen Qiuxia also sang it when she competed, but those who were well versed in English pointed out that "Backside", butt also, a girl opened her mouth to point directly to the next three roads, a big scenery, Liang Baitao listened to it and quickly changed it to "Dark Side", otherwise it would be lost abroad.
Someone asked, is it true that this song was composed by Chen Qiuxia? She has been composing music since she was 15 years old, and when she plays the piano, she is inspired to compose a song, which is almost pediatric - in addition, she says that when she takes a bath, she is most active in inspiration, and if you want to become a musician, you may wish to try.
Some people have researched that Chen Qiuxia is the first female singer-songwriter in Hong Kong, although she has not been authoritatively certified, but she is called the first female composer, which is probably not bad.
Therefore, Liang Baitao and Poly Gold, for their main "talented girl" gimmick, received good results, can sing a lot of girls, but both can sing and compose girls, that is rare, people naturally admire and like.
This love turned into action, which led Chen Qiuxia's 1975 album Dark Side Of Your Mind to sell well, reaching gold records.

Chen Qiuxia's fame grew, and the two major film companies, Shaw and Jiahe, heard the wind and came to invite her to make a movie.
Shao First provided a script, called "Flying Girl Zhizhi", not to mention the content, just look at the title, it does not match the image of Chen Qiuxia's jade girl, absolutely can not be acted.
Jiahe came on the scene, saying that he wanted to make a literary and artistic film, guaranteed to be very sensational and very Qiongyao, and the director was selected as Taiwan's Song Cunshou, that is, the famous director who won the red Lin Qingxia with "Outside the Window". "You acted in this film, it is the next Lin Qingxia, no, more popular than Lin Qingxia!" Jiahe said foolishly. Well, who wouldn't want to be Lin Qingxia? Chen Qiuxia signed the contract happily, and also signed two.
Song Cunshou and Chen Qiuxia met and began to organize people to write scripts. He told the media: "This girl can be shaped, some are talented brilliance, not hypocritical beauty, her performance, my observations, only a few conversations, I found that she is a pure love girl who is not tacky at all." ”
Director Song said that he wanted to write Chen Qiuxia into the script, to play himself quite completely, and he wanted Chen Qiuxia to act quietly and gently to enthusiastically and passionately.
Therefore, Song Cunshou wrote a script with ideas, music, talent, sadness, and destiny, and directly named it Chen Qiuxia - "Qiu Xia".
In December 1975, "Autumn Xia" was launched. This film, is jiahe and South Korea joint production, there are many scenes filmed in South Korea, there is a South Korean actor Lee Seung-yong participated (it is said that he likes kung fu, to beat Bruce Lee, so the name "Sheng Long", but unfortunately after filming "Qiu Xia", was positioned as a love student), in the cold winter month, Chen Qiuxia and the male protagonist Zhong Zhentao ran to Bibang to shoot skiing, almost frozen.
Doesn't Chen Qiuxia know how to compose music? Song Cunshou asked her to write two songs and sing for the film in addition to filming, and Chen Qiuxia took the order to compose "Light of Life" and "Accidental". "Accidental" was originally a poem by Xu Zhimo: "I am a cloud in the sky, occasionally projected in the heart of your waves..." The words are beautiful, the song is beautiful, and the singing is beautiful, so it has become a masterpiece in the Chinese music scene.
Stills from "Autumn Xia"
The film is finished, Song Cunshou's evaluation of Chen Qiuxia is "she is good at singing", the implication is that the performance is not as good as singing, and the original excitement is 108,000 miles away. It is no wonder that before "Qiu Xia", Chen Qiuxia only had a small role in Wen Na's first film "Everyone's Music", and her acting skills and the like were not at all for her, but it was better than fresh and natural.
In 1976, "Autumn Xia" was released, Hong Kong achieved nearly one million box office, literary and art films, the box office is not high and normal, this is already a breakthrough, you know, at that time, literary and art films in Hong Kong basically can only sell more than 100,000. In Taiwan, the box office is also average, Chen Qiuxia, Zhong Zhentao, two newcomers, of course, not as appealing as Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao, Qin Han, Qin Xianglin. However, the film was surprisingly popular in South Korea, setting a record, and "One Summer Night", sung by Chen Qiuxia and Zhong Zhentao, was regarded as a golden song by young people.
Jiahe took a look, oh, good oh, in 1977, he summoned Song Cunshou, Chen Qiuxia, Zhong Zhentao's original team, and Co-produced "The Second Rainbow" with South Korea, and with the Korean film emperor Nangong Yuan (playing Zhong Zhentao's father), the film queen Choi Yinji (playing Chen Qiuxia's mother), and in order to take care of the emotions of Koreans, he made a Korean version - the original version had a Korean student who liked Chen Qiuxia, and was refused to commit suicide, and the Korean version was changed to Chen Qiuxia also liked him, but he crashed and died. Well, this is a very Korean drama. Needless to ask, the film is definitely hot.

Chen Qiuxia is famous in South Korea, and until now, it is still a memory of people, and some Koreans have formed fan clubs on the Internet, crying and shouting to find her. In 2018, South Korea's tvN tv even filmed a drama called "Chen Qiuxia Is Back", which tells the story of star chasing, and its influence can be seen.
In 2006, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the release of "Qiu Xia", Chen Qiuxia appeared in South Korea, met with fans and fans, and watched the friends so obsessed, she was excited, and gave the pearl necklace she wore to everyone, these people really made a lot of money.
The Korean market has opened, and Japan must not be left behind.
As early as 1975, when Chen Qiuxia went to Tokyo to participate in the "World Song Festival", several Japanese entertainment companies showed great interest in her and approached her, including Chen Meiling's Watanabe Company, but Chen Qiuxia's career was unstable and did not respond positively.
In 1976, entertainment companies again issued invitations to Chen Qiuxia and Lu Yunna, and this time Chen Qiuxia agreed and signed a contract with Watanabe. At this time, Chen Meiling has withdrawn from the music scene, Watanabe intends to train Chen Qiuxia as a successor, and develop together with another singer Teresa Teng, but proposed to conduct a year of special training for her, she felt that the time was too long, did not agree, and finally the two sides terminated the contract.
In 1977, Chen Qiuxia signed again to Aoyama Music Office (the manager's company) and Philip Records, this time as a famous singer, without training, just flying to Japan for a month or two to help promote and tour every time a new record is launched. In June of that year, Chen Qiuxia officially went to Japan to fight, during her stay in Japan, she filmed advertisements, went on TV, released records (fine disc "Inspiration", "Long Long Goodbye", large album "Mind Wave"), toured, the achievement is not big, not small, the song has entered the pop chart 37th, but also impacted the "Newcomer Award", and there are certain fans, each with a "Qiuxia watch" and "Qiuxia scarf". Once, when she invited her cousin to eat steak, she couldn't sleep all night with heartache.
By 1978, Chen Qiuxia had no time to take care of Toei because she had several consecutive films in Taiwan, and the development of Japan was gone.

Chen Qiuxia's main battlefield is undoubtedly Hong Kong and Taiwan, and in these two places, the division of labor is different - Hong Kong lead singer, Taiwan starring.
Those literary and artistic films made by Chen Qiuxia, Hong Kong people do not buy it, and what they appreciate is her singing voice.
His debut album, Dark Side Of Your Mind, released in 1975, won Hong Kong's inaugural Golden Disc Award in 1977, followed by a gold album and a platinum album in 1978 for Chelsia My Love and Because Of You (both released in 1977). This was followed by 1978's Queen Of Hearts, 1979's Voices... Thinking of You", 1980's "Cherish good years", etc., have good results, and Cantonese songs such as "Butterfly Dream", "Night Gentleness", "Remembering Childhood", "Poppies", "Just Love Each Other for a Lifetime" and so on, have been widely sung. In addition, "A Little Candlelight" (sung by Kwan Cheng Kit), composed by her, is a representative work of public welfare songs, "Qi Eye Eyebrows" (sung by Lu Yunna) won the "Best Original Film Song" award first set up by the Academy Awards in 1983, Xu Guanjie ("I Love You"), Tan Yonglin ("Don't Reach Out to Me"), Zhong Zhentao, Guan Juying, etc., all sang her songs.
Album Voices... Thinking of you"

As for filming in Taiwan, it is all thanks to "Autumn Xia".
One day in 1977, Chen Qiuxia received a phone call from the Taiwan media: "Congratulations Miss Chen, according to reliable internal information, you won the Golden Horse Award with "Qiu Xia"! Chen Qiuxia listened, immediately thought that the winner should be the best theme song or something, the other party even said a few "NO", complaining that her thinking was too conservative: "Miss Chen, you got the best actress!" ”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qiuxia was a little confused, how could it be? Could it be a prank? She is self-aware of her performances. However, the other party's words are conclusive, not like a joke?
That night, Chen Qiuxia and Wen Na were bowling together, and Tan Yonglin found that she had been smiling and asked her what was the happy thing? Chen Qiuxia whispered, "I may win the Golden Horse Award." Shhh, don't tell others about this, if it's fake, it's embarrassing. "Tan Yonglin's mouth is absolutely fake, if you can get it, I can get it too." Unexpectedly, Tan Yonglin really got it in 1981.
On September 30 of that year, the news of the Golden Horse Awards was officially transmitted, and Chen Qiuxia was indeed crowned as a film queen, and at the age of 19, she became the youngest film queen in the history of the Golden Horse. "Autumn Xia" also won the Best Non-Opera Film Music Award (Gu Jiahui) and the Award for Excellent Drama.
On the afternoon of October 30th, the 14th Golden Horse Awards Ceremony was held in Zhongshan Hall in Taipei, chen Qiuxia wore an aqua blue dress, accompanied by Jiahe director Liang Feng and brother Zhong Zhentao, beautiful and moving. Sitting in the venue, Chen Qiuxia cried happily, and when she was anxious to have nothing to wipe away her tears and snot, many men next to her generously and enthusiastically handed handkerchiefs.
In the last part, Chen Qiuxia delivered a speech on behalf of all the winners, a task she had received the night before, writing and practicing Mandarin, which was a mess. Fortunately, when she spoke, she was generous and decent, her Chinese smooth, and there was no Cantonese in the middle. It's just that at the end, the emotions are agitated and the tears are shed again.
The next day, the media reported the incident, titled "Chen Qiuxia's Tears Gush out Ten Thousand Thanks."
Get the Golden Horse Shadow Queen

Chen Qiuxia, a newcomer, actually won the queen, which naturally caused people to discuss, in the end she is not qualified enough? The jury's words have already given the answer: "This year, we specially selected newcomer Chen Qiuxia as the best actress, hoping that because of her award, we will encourage newcomers in the film industry to come forward and move towards the aspect of acting skills." You must admit that Chen Qiuxia's natural unpretentiousness is what those old oilers lack, and this is the benefit of the new people." Or, simply boiling it down to "luck", it's not inevitable.
The glory of the Golden Horse Film Queen made Chen Qiuxia famous in Taiwan, and for a while various companies looked for her to take pictures, which was very hot. There is money to earn, why not Chen Qiuxia? Therefore, from 1978, she simply stationed herself on Taiwan Island, bought a large house on Renai Road in Taipei, and settled down, specializing in movies.
Chen Qiuxia's films in Taiwan include "Don't Go, Don't Go", "Smoke Wave On the River", "Autumn of Sorrow", "The Story of a Female Worker", etc., and the partners include the active Liu Wenzheng, the old Qin Han, and the mischievous Qin Xianglin. Among them, "The Story of a Female Worker" won her best actress at the 1980 Panama Film Festival.

While filming and singing, Chen Qiuxia took care of both left and right, and gained a lot. But this kind of two-front combat also led to her inability to concentrate, seriously study in a certain field, and go to a higher level.
Of course, with her artistic life in just a few years, she has left many classics, which is already very unusual, and we just regret that she could have created more brilliance.
For example, under her influence, there can be a few more Huang Yunling and Meng Tingwei.
Huang Yunling is Chen Qiuxia's number one fan, and when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was obsessed with Chen Qiuxia's songs and movies, and called Gelin Records (Chen Qiuxia Records' Taiwan agent) every day to ask if Chen Qiuxia was there. She had to get to Chen Qiuxia's address in Taiwan, and she often climbed up the 10th floor along the fire ladder outside the building to "spy" on the Chen family. Once, Huang Yunling finally plucked up the courage to knock on Chen Qiuxia's door and gave Chen Qiuxia the song she had composed, and Chen Qiuxia returned a signed photo with the words "Yunling's little sister commemorates" as a thank you.
Huang Yunling said that the reason why she became a musician is precisely because of Chen Qiuxia. More than 20 years later, Huang Yunling went to Malaysia to find Chen Qiuxia and invited her out of the mountain, Chen Qiuxia still gave her a signed photo, wrote "Forever Little Sister", and wrote a song of "Zhiyin Zhixin", and Sang with Huang Yunling.
Meng Tingwei has successively covered Chen Qiuxia's "The Second Rainbow" and "Past Events" to show tribute to her predecessors, and good music has been passed down from generation to generation.
There is also Jiang Shuna, as soon as she saw Chen Qiuxia, she called "idol idol" non-stop...
However, more of Chen Qiuxia's fans are some crazy people. Strange to say, among her fans and fans, many of them have neurological problems:
Once she took a taxi in Taipei, the driver said that he liked her, and held a stack of banknotes to smirk at her, and also ate betel nut and spit out a mouthful of "blood water", which scared her not lightly;
For a while, she kept receiving mysterious phone calls, even in the middle of the night, and there were people who said dirty words, some who pretended to be journalists, and some who threatened to meet;
Some fans wrote to her: Sister Qiu Xia, in my heart, you are a goddess, a sacred and inviolable goddess! As long as I kiss you in my dream, I am satisfied! I don't want someone to possess you, so you don't fall in love with someone else, it's too sad for me. Can you give me a kiss? Just a light kiss is enough;
Performing in Vancouver, a man in his 20s asked her to sign an autograph, claiming that the family was rich and wanted to marry her, and the next day he drove a Rolls-Royce to pick her up - his family is very rich, and there are nurses following him...
Really rich people, do not play these false heads, they use practical actions to express.
Around 1978 or 1979, Chen Qiuxia and Gao Lingfeng went to Malaysia to perform on stage, and when they arrived, in the event of heavy rain, two luxury Mercedes Benzes came to pick them up. Gao Lingfeng smiled mysteriously and replied that he was a good brother.
At the beginning of the performance at the Golden Horse Nightclub, Chen Qiuxia suddenly received 100 large flower baskets and surrounded the stage, she was both happy and surprised, who shot so generously? Gao Lingfeng squeezed his eyes, still the good brother, also the owner of the nightclub, and he wanted to invite Chen Qiuxia to enjoy the light for a meal.
People are so sincere that they don't agree to say that they can't go over, and besides, Chen Qiuxia is also full of curiosity and wants to meet the broad guy named Zhong Tingsen.
On the day of the meal, Chen's mother, who has been inseparable, was called to the cruise ship by Gao Lingfeng, Chen Qiuxia had to go to the meeting with a single knife, Zhong Tingsen was not a green-faced fang, but he was older (thirteen or fourteen years older than Chen Qiuxia), and he had a heroic style, was proud and meticulous, and took care of Chen Qiuxia thoughtfully and thoughtfully.
After the meal, back to the hotel, Gao Lingfeng asked for merit, in order to help the good brother, I will send your mother to take the boat, did not expect to encounter a hurricane, almost fed Wang Ba, if you two become in the future, you can thank me well.
Chen Qiuxia is a little girl, thin-skinned, shy and angry, but she recalls in hindsight that Zhong Tingsen is mature and stable, not annoying, and has money, and can be a friend. In this way, the two kept in touch, and then as the interaction deepened, they became the object.
So, what about Zhong Zhentao?
From the beginning of Chen Qiuxia's debut, they have known Zhong Zhentao, they performed, played, and filmed "Qiuxia" and "The Second Rainbow" together, which is a pair of "golden boys and jade girls" in everyone's mind. Although Chen Qiuxia and Zhong Zhentao strongly denied dragging at that time, they could find clues from some clues and traces - A B once said that the rumors did not know whether they were true or false, but Chen Qiuxia was very well-behaved, if she had to marry, I would rather be her; Chen Qiuxia specially bought a camera for Zhong Zhentao when she traveled to Japan, because he loved photography; even Chen Mother Weng Yanfang often praised Zhong Zhentao as a good child.
The past is like the wind, until 30 years later, Zhong Zhentao admitted in the article that Chen Qiuxia was indeed his first love, and Chen Qiuxia also put down her avoidance and recognized this fact.
Chen Qiuxia and Zhong Zhentao began to fall in love in 1977 when filming "The Second Rainbow", but the time was not long, about 1 year.
The reasons why they broke up, one is that they are busy at work, they gather less and leave more, and the other is that their personalities are incompatible - Zhong Zhentao is too childlike temper, and he likes his girlfriend Three from Four Virtues, listening to his messengers. But for Zhang Xiaohui, he was obedient and obedient, hey, there is a gap between love and love.
In addition, Zhong Zhentao's poverty and "miserliness" may also be a factor, once he went to the Chen family, bought half a dozen egg tarts as a greeting gift, and actually ate four of them in a row when chatting. You said that he had no money and was stingy, Chen Qiuxia fell in love with TianNian and bought a floor as soon as he shot it... Hey, love and love, there's a real gap.
If Zhong Zhentao had just finished saying "Chen Qiuxia's starry eyes and laughter, as if they appeared just yesterday", the first word turned, and a sentence came: "If everyone is really married, they may not be able to grow old in vain."

In the end, Chen Qiuxia still married Zhong Tingsen, whose surname was "Zhong".
October 3, 1981, was the big day of Chen Qiuxia and Zhong Tingsen, the wedding was set in the Regent Hotel, simple and grand, but not sensational, because the circle of people who came to He only Xu Xiaofeng, Chen Baiqiang, Lin Qingxia, Qin Xianglin, etc., very few, this is Chen Qiuxia has always rarely socialized with the people in the circle. Tam Wing Lin acted as best man. The bride's jewelry is worth more than a million.
The main marriage of Chung Ting Sen is the malaysian army commander four-star Admiral Siin Yasen and his wife, SiIn Yasen in his speech to advise the groom's official that his wife who has achieved such beauty should give up other girlfriends. In the cave room that night, Chen Qiuxia inevitably let Zhong Tingsen explain his girlfriends clearly.

After getting married, Chen Qiuxia settled in Malaysia and has since withdrawn from the entertainment industry.
Chen Qiuxia's decision is very decisive, Mai Jia has a new film in her hand, I hope she will leave after filming, but she still has not moved. Why did Chen Qiuxia not linger? Quite simply, she has lost interest in singing and acting, and is even bored.
For several years, she has held the title of "film queen" and "talented woman", imprisoned in a well-set framework, repeating the same work back and forth, singing, must be a quiet folk song, acting, must be a literary and artistic plot, she wants to break through, wants to innovate, wants to sing energetic songs, wants to play noisy comedy, but she is not allowed and has no chance. Let's say that time, she added a few small body swaying movements when singing, Huang Xia pointed out that it is best not to move, sit back at the piano; filmed the light comedy "Two Silly Birds" ("Love Wisdom Star"), the audience reflected that they could not accept it, and suggested that they continue to stay on the beach, under the moonlight, or in the three halls (living room, dining room, café), talking about love, crying and crying.
Fame is good early, but early fame is also easy to be stereotyped, and there is no motivation to pursue and happiness to get, only tired and sluggish.
There was also an incident that happened in 1980, which also prompted Chen Qiuxia's withdrawal. In November of that year, she went to the United States to perform, and while in New York, Zhou Shuliang, one of the concert shareholders, was killed by several sought-after players, fortunately she left early, otherwise she would have witnessed the bloody case. This incident had a great impact on Chen Qiuxia's psychology, and the world was unpredictable and the entertainment circle was complicated, so it was better to withdraw and go.
Zhong Tingsen's identity is the biggest guarantee for Chen Qiuxia's retirement, and she does not have to worry about anything.
Known as the "King of Steel" in Malaysia, Chung is now the chairman of the board of directors of the Golden Lion agency and is said to be worth more than 18 billion. He was also given the title of "Dan Sri", and Chen Qiuxia was awarded the title of "Pan Sri" after marrying him, which may be similar to the "Lady of the Commandment", and it is rumored that there is a special agency responsible for protection.
It seems that Chen Qiuxia's grandfather calculated that Chen Mother Weng Yanfang would enjoy the blessings of a daughter and come true, the only regret is that Weng Yanfang was diagnosed with cancer shortly after her daughter's marriage, insisted on dying for 8 years, and later Chen's father also died of cancer.
Chen Qiuxia's life as Mrs. Kuo is very monotonous and boring, and she used to watch TV at home and greet guests (often five or six hundred people). After having three daughters (Hui Yan, Hui Ya, Hui Yun), taking care of them became the main job. When my daughter grew up, she began to take piano (performance grades), practice calligraphy, and then opened a school and did public welfare.
For the old bank, Chen Qiuxia did not forget, insisted on composing, opened a music production company to publish albums, said that her husband invested in the film and television city project, so far the project built in Yunnan, known as "Oriental Hollywood" does not know how.
In the early years, she will also use her leisure time to return to Hong Kong and Taiwan, when She is a concert guest of old friends such as Xu Guanjie, Tan Yonglin, Wen Na, etc., on TV shows, and will meet fans and fans who are no longer young. Now, it is becoming more and more difficult to see, because in 2016, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery and medication. Under the influence of the drug, her body was blessed, full of silver hair, and she no longer had the image of the past.

"Accidental" wrote: "Whether you remember it or not, it is best that you forget the light that is put on each other at this rendezvous." ”
"Past Events" sang: "The past is like a dream, full of laughter, and the cute little river in front of the door still sings old songs." ”
There are some people and things that are hard to forget, just like the ten thousand rays of light in autumn, which are deeply imprinted in the heart.
