Parent: Hey, are you the singing Cong Fei?
Cong Fei: Yes, I am, which one are you? What's the matter with me?
Parents: Oh, then we are looking for you, why don't you transfer money to us, can't we read our books? You promised us before that you would sponsor my children to study, and now you don't give money, what do you mean? Aren't you a pit bull?
Cong Fei: I'm sorry, I'm sick, I can't perform now, I don't have any money, I'll see if there's any other way to help you, I'll think about it.
Parent: What is your illness? So long is not good?
Cong Fei: Stomach cancer.
Parents: When will you be cured of your illness and earn money from performances? You remember to call the money early, that's it.
It is said that this was the last phone call between singer Cong Fei and the parents of nearly 200 poor students in the mountainous areas he sponsored.
Cong Fei, whose original name was Zhang Chong, was born in 1969 in a poor family in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, with a total of 8 people, but almost all of them were incapacitated, so the family's family expenses all relied on his father's meager salary of 36 yuan per month.
Although the family is poor, Cong Fei's parents have always maintained their own kind nature, and neighbors who have difficulties will come to help and be very helpful, such a move has planted a beautiful seed in the heart of little Cong Fei.
If you want to say what is different from Cong Fei and his honest father, that is the hobby of the two. In the northeast region at that time, the two-person transfer was the entertainment project of most people after tea and dinner, in order to watch the two-person transfer, some people even after dinner, still rode out of the bicycle for several kilometers to see, Cong Fei's father was the same.
Contrary to his father, Cong Fei is not at all interested in the two-person rotation, he is keen on popular music, so every time the family goes out to see the two-person rotation, the family becomes Cong Fei's exclusive concert hall, and he uses the broken radio he picked up to enjoy the happiness brought to him by music.
In fact, Cong Fei is not only so simple as loving music, his musical talent is also far beyond ordinary people.
The TV plays the theme song of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Shanghai Beach" and other film and television dramas, Cong Fei can perfectly cover it as long as he listens to it once or twice, plus his unique singing, sometimes it is not much worse than the original song.
Slowly, the neighbors also discovered Cong Fei's musical talent, and every time they played TV, they would shout Cong Fei to watch it together, if nothing else, but to listen to the little singer occasionally perform a concert for free.
It was good for young people to have ideals, but at that time, music, for poor families in rural areas, could only be a distant dream.
With the increase of age, younger siblings have gradually grown up, the father's income alone has obviously not been able to support the normal life of the family, so the sensible Cong Fei volunteered to take on his own responsibilities, every day after school he would carry a sack, walk the streets to pick up rags to sell, and when he saved a sum of money, he began to start a small business selling popsicles at the school gate.
Every time he saw Cong Fei running sweatily as soon as he rushed out to get goods after school, his classmates would make fun of him as a little beggar, but he didn't care at all, because he knew that he was making money for the family's meals, so he didn't chill at all.
When the night ends, he will always walk home slowly humming the latest songs, his singing voice is firm and powerful, full of emotion, just like his attitude towards life, positive and optimistic.
In the second year of junior high school, Cong Fei's father was unwell, and after a long time at home, the family lost its main source of income, and after some inner struggle, Cong Fei chose to drop out of school to work.
Cong Fei, who dropped out of school and returned home, passed the exam to apply for a job as a security guard in the local credit union, although the salary is very low, but it can ensure the food and clothing of the family, but such a life has made him more and more distant from the distant musical dream, and at this time, Cong Fei's heart is extremely painful.
Premature loss of educational opportunities is a big blow to Cong Fei, the immature world view and outlook on life were prematurely impacted by society, and he was confused about the future and fell into a dark period.
During that time, Cong Fei often asked himself: "Do I really have no chance to become a singer?" Will I have to be a security guard for the rest of my life? Cong Fei, who was trapped in a mental dilemma, no longer dared to touch the music, and once he heard the music playing, he even had to run away quickly.
In order to distract himself, he also learned to smoke and drink.
Until one day, Cong Fei heard a new song on the road after work, and he subconsciously wanted to speed up his pace and leave, but suddenly a lyric deeply attracted him, that lyric was: "I was born in the mud, and I want to see the sun until I die." At that time, Cong Fei's tears unconsciously began to slide from his eyes, and there was both regret and emotion in the tears, but more than that, he did not have the confidence and firmness before.
At that moment, Cong Fei knew: "I can't be a singer in this life, even if I die, he won't be willing." ”
To this end, he began to work during the day, while using the evening study, and occasionally he had to go out as a coolie to earn part-time fees, and two years later, he was finally admitted to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
The night he got his acceptance letter, Cong Fei locked himself in his room all night, playing his favorite music repeatedly in the room, crying while listening.
Before going to college, he divided all his savings into three parts, one for his father, one for his mother, and the rest for himself. Fearing that his younger siblings would suffer at home, he still gave another two hundred yuan from his already small savings to his younger siblings and told them to take good care of their parents. After arranging everything, Cong Fei can finally embark on the ride of his dreams.
After coming to Shenyang Conservatory of Music, Cong Fei is like opening the door to a new world, where there are like-minded friends, masterful teachers of music achievements, and music platforms that he did not dare to think of before.
Therefore, like a madman who had been hungry for a month, he continued to absorb the nourishment given to him by this school, and constantly enriched himself and grew himself.
In 1992, after Cong Fei graduated from university, his alma mater gave him the opportunity to stay in the school because of his excellent grades, but he quickly refused, because he wanted to look outside to see what kind of glory and achievements his ability could bring to him.
However, full of enthusiasm did not exchange for career success, after choosing to go south to Guangzhou, Cong Fei, who had no resources and no background, could not enter the record company at all, and participated in the draft and was often ridiculed for being too low in appearance and being eliminated.
At that time, Cong Fei could only sing around as a wandering singer, when he was good, he could sing in a bar, when he was bad, he could only sell singing on the street, and when he had no money, he could only sleep in the bridge and eat leftovers, and he really had no way to do his old business: "Go to the dock as a porter."
That night, Cong Fei, who had just finished dinner, was selling and singing in the square as usual, and when Cong Fei sang "Ussuri Boat Song", his singing voice and affection deeply touched a kind girl. After Cong Fei finished singing, the girl put down 600 yuan on his guitar bag and said to Cong Fei, "You are very good, go to the singing competition, there will be your world." ”
Cong Fei was deeply touched to see the stranger helping him so much, and he decided to follow the girl's advice and continue to participate in the competition.
This time, Cong Fei did not fail, he finally reached the final and successfully defended the championship.
Cong Fei, who became famous after winning the championship, soon received an invitation from a music company to join, and after more than 20 years of hard work and persistence, he finally really started his singing career.
In 1994, Cong Fei, who had grown into a first-line singer, thought that his creative ability had encountered a bottleneck, so he went to Shenzhen to worship him, where he was accepted by the tenor singer Guo Song and became a closed disciple.
At that time, Cong Fei was both a star and an infinite scenery, but the kindness in his heart had never changed because of the improvement of his social status and income level, and he had always remembered that it was the strange girl who changed her life with her kindness, so he also passed on his love in his own way.
In 1996, Cong Fei was invited to attend the "Out-of-School Children Return to School Charity Performance" held in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, where he saw many out-of-school children under the age of 10, looking at their helpless and panicked expressions, Cong Fei couldn't help but burst into tears, because his childhood was not their childhood?
In order to help the out-of-school children, he put all the 2400 yuan in his body into the donation box.
The local principal saw that Cong Fei was so generous, so he personally ran to thank him, and the principal excitedly said to Cong Fei: Mr. Cong, your merit is immeasurable, and I thank you on behalf of those poor children. Did you know? This 2400 yuan is enough for 20 students to complete two years of schooling. ”
Cong Fei had mixed feelings after listening: "It turned out that it was just that my own conditions had become better, and there were still many such children in China, and I had to do what I could when I had the ability." ”
The thought was out of control, and he never stopped charity ever since, and this walk was 11 years, the end of his life.
Since then, Cong Fei has embarked on a charity performance and a loving journey to adopt poor out-of-school children. In just a few years, Cong Fei has held charity performances in Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, Shandong, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other poverty-stricken areas more than 50 times, raised tuition fees for local out-of-school children, helped the local government establish Hope Primary School, contacted rich businessmen to encourage donations, etc. As long as he can do it, he does it, he can't do it, he also tries his best to do it.
According to statistics, in the year of 1997 alone, Cong Fei adopted and sponsored up to 50 poor mountain children through various channels.
In 1997, Cong Fei learned about the existence of volunteers in a charity performance in Hunan to ask for help for out-of-school children, and after returning to Shenzhen, he immediately applied to become the first batch of volunteers in Shenzhen, whether it was wind and rain, or disaster relief and rescue, Cong Fei never missed once.
In 1998, Cong Fei was invited to join the Shenzhen Volunteer Federation, because of his outstanding kindness, the staff of the Volunteer Federation unanimously recommended him as the head of the art troupe.
From that moment on, Cong Fei knew that he was no longer a simple singer, and that it would be more social responsibility on his shoulders.
At that time, shenzhen people would discuss a very interesting strange phenomenon: Cong Fei's fame was getting bigger and bigger, and the appearance fee was getting higher and higher, but the most you saw him was in places like labor camps, drug rehabilitation centers, and re-education centers. His personal property is also getting less and less, because he donates more and more money, whether it is the ticket income of the charity show or his own income from foreign business performances, he donates all of his brain.
Not only that, if the temporary notice of the charity performance conflicts with his commercial performance, he will not hesitate to push off the commercial performance, even if it is necessary to pay a high liquidated damages.
But all this, Cong Fei did not care, he was pursuing spiritual prosperity, not material enjoyment.
However, such a kind person was still jealous of God.
In order to donate to the poor children in the mountains, Cong Fei scattered his family wealth, but the long-term uncontrolled donation of money made his family life difficult.
According to Cong Fei's income level at that time, buying a villa in Shenzhen was actually not much of a problem, but because he sponsored too many people, and often donated all the money in one head, so the family could not save money, and the family had been renting in Shenzhen for many years.
Later, under the angry scolding of his wife, Cong Fei was finally willing to "save" a sum of money to buy a small house of 58 square meters, however, after buying the house, Cong Fei refused to decorate it, which led to his home appearing extremely "shabby and tattered", quite a sense of age.
The tin on the cheap security door had long since been broken into a large hole more than half a foot long, and the lock failed, and sometimes the key could not be opened. But Cong Fei was reluctant to change the new door lock, because it was the tuition fee of the mountain children for a whole year, he was reluctant to do it, anyway, he felt that there was nothing in the family to steal, how to do it.
Cong Fei is so addicted to "helping others for fun", even his parents can't look at it, sometimes they will blame Cong Fei for being dead-headed: "To do good things, you must pay attention to a measure, you have to take care of your family first, and there is no hurry to do good things when you have free time and energy. Cong Fei promised that his parents would change, but whenever someone needed help, he still went as usual.
The ex-wife eventually chose to part ways with him because she could not understand his long-term outrageous behavior. Cong Fei also knew that he felt guilty about his ex-wife, so when he divorced, he left the house to his ex-wife and moved out to rent a house.
In fact, Cong Fei's burden of financial aid has far exceeded his personal ability to bear, not only the incomprehension of his parents and ex-wife, but even his friends and peers are very confused about his behavior.
However, if some people don't agree, naturally some people will be able to see the great love behind Cong Fei's various actions, and this person who understands Cong Fei is his next wife Xing Dan.
Xing Dan and Cong Fei's acquaintance also stemmed from Cong Fei's kindness, at that time, Cong Fei, who was keen on volunteer performances, often flew to Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan and other places, many accidental encounters made the two acquaintances and became friends, and later Xing Dan learned about Cong Fei's deeds through television and other media, and more and more admiration for this unattractive man.
After learning that after Cong Fei recovered from being single, her feelings for Cong Fei developed from quantitative to qualitative changes, and after showing her intentions, Cong Fei said to her: "Do you agree with what I am doing now?" If you agree, I can be with you, and if you don't, I will eventually fail you, so I hope you will seriously consider it. ”
Cong Fei thought that this young girl would retreat, but she replied: "You can rest assured, I will not drag you back, I will give you the greatest support to let you do these things, you can rest assured." ”
In fact, Xing Dan's family conditions since childhood were very favorable, but this rich life did not change Xing Dan's inner sincerity, she saw cong fei's kindness, after marriage she fulfilled her promise, willingly resigned from the job of a flight attendant, bent on becoming the woman behind Cong Fei, and concentrated on helping Cong Fei take care of the family.
Not only that, the intelligent and intellectual Xing Dan regards the daughter born to Cong Fei and his ex-wife as her own, and she helps her children to arrange them properly in life and study.
Xing Dan saw the word "money" more lightly than Cong Fei, and this was what Cong Fei liked most about her. No matter how much money Cong Fei donated to do public welfare, Xing Dan never asked.
Someone once asked Xing Dan, do you know how much money Cong Fei makes? Why did Cong Fei take all the money to donate, you have no opinion?
Xing Dan smiled lightly and said, "He can do whatever he wants, anyway, he is happy, as for the money thing, anyway, the family situation is not to the extent that he can't eat, he can fund it, and he can spend it himself." And I have my own money, he took his money out to donate, but not to donate my money, why am I angry? ”
However, such a pair of kind and loving gods and immortals still cannot escape the clutches of suffering.
In 2005, Cong Fei won the "100 Chinese Awards Since the Founding of New China", which is arguably the best affirmation of his philanthropy for more than 10 years, but before he could share this joy with his family, bad luck came.
Cong Fei was eventually diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer because of overwork, irregular diet, and excessive physical exertion, at this time Xing Dan had just conceived their four-month-old daughter in his belly.
Cong Fei accepted his fate, he was willing to fight against fate, but he was not afraid of death, but some people wanted to push him before he died.
Cong Fei, who had to disappear into the public eye because of his treatment, was questioned by donors, and some people even scolded him for doing fake charity, all for his own good reputation, hoping that he would not die well.
So there is the opening scene, Cong Fei is extremely depressed after talking to the parents of poor students on the phone, which should be the saddest time in his life, helplessness is the most true portrayal of this 1 meter 8 northeast man.
When he faced the camera, he finally cried out, he said: "The throat is dumb, I can't sing, I can't make money, those children are pitiful, they can only eat one meal a day." ”
Even in the face of such unreasonable demands from poor parents, Cong Fei did not show a trace of regret and blame in his words, he was just worried about whether those children could eat enough and read books.
In the end, at Cong Fei's strong request, he divided 170,000 of the society's 200,000 treatment donations to his children as the last gift he gave them in the world.
On his deathbed, Cong Fei made his last three requests to the world.
He requested: to join the Communist Party of China;
He requested: donated his cornea after death;
He requested: to refuse a four-bedroom, two-hall house donated by the Shenzhen Housing Bureau.
Cong Fei was the father of hundreds of children when he was alive, but he did not have time to see the appearance of his own daughter.
After Cong Fei's death, his wife Xing Dan carried Cong Fei's home and career on her weak shoulders, and while she earned money to support her family, she continued to help the children that Cong Fei had previously sponsored.
However, an accident occurred.
On April 13, 2011, while driving to a mountainous area to visit poor children, several wild children on the side of the road playfully smashed stones into her glass window.
The glass window was shattered, and Xing Dan's artery in the corner of his left eye was severely injured, and he died at the age of 30 after being sent to the hospital for rescue.
According to the investigation, one of the children who caused the accident was still Cong Fei's funding object.
After that, Cong Fei and his wife both died, leaving their five-year-old daughter alone in the world.
On the day of Xing Dan's funeral, thousands of people on the streets of Shenzhen spontaneously sent him off, and Xing Dan and Cong Fei were buried together and no longer separated.
In fact, there are more facts behind Cong Fei's good deeds that have not been revealed.
One of the children that Cong Fei once sponsored became a doctor after graduation. When she saw in a report that Cong Fei had funded her, she called the newspaper and directly asked the newspaper to delete the article immediately, otherwise she would immediately sue the newspaper.
At that time, the reporter asked her what was the reason? Is it because she has not received funding from Cong Fei? She said no, she just didn't want others to see what she was before.
The Slovaks are gone, so we don't have to do too much investigation. Now Cong Fei's little daughter has also become a cute little fairy, and if the couple can see it in the Spirit of Heaven, they will be very happy.
