On October 3, singer Zhang Weiwen accepted an exclusive interview with Hong Kong media and generously shared his recent situation.
Zhang Weiwen, 64, joined the music scene as early as the 1970s. Known as the "King of Beautiful Voices", he has a thick voice and good singing skills, and in those years, he sang classic songs such as "Parting Ding", "Everywhere is Hometown" and so on.
However, as he grew older, his health deteriorated and he was in and out of the hospital many times. Considering that there was no one to take care of his life, he lived alone in a nursing home for several years.
He loves music, but he never wanted to retire, and recently he not only returned to the studio to record new songs, but also plans to start singing at the end of the year.
Zhang Weiwen appeared on the street this time because he wanted to take the opportunity to do publicity. In the recent photos exposed, he appeared in the camera wearing bright red clothes and wearing a tonal baseball cap, dressed in an eye-catching manner.
Once thin, he has now gained more than 180 pounds, returned to his previous weight, his mental state has improved a lot, and he is full of breath in speech, but he still has mobility problems, needs to enter and exit in a wheelchair, and is pushed by the help of his fellow agent Fang Jun.
The two came to the vegetable market, and although Zhang Weiwen had not performed publicly for a long time, his popularity did not decrease. Whether it is a vegetable seller or a seafood seller, they are very enthusiastic about him.
After visiting the wet market, the group came to the restaurant to meet with the friends who were waiting here. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they couldn't help but sing with a big mouth and show excitement.
After eating, Zhang Weiwen was interviewed with Fang Jun. Fang Jun said that Zhang Weiwen had undergone two major surgeries in 2016 and 2018, and after the operation, his cervical spine degenerated, his feet were weak, and he had cerebral hemorrhage after multiple falls, and he needed to be admitted to the hospital to bleed and save his life.
Today's Zhang Weiwen can be called sick and painful. Therefore, he can come back and sing, which Fang Jun believes is a great encouragement.
Zhang Weiwen admitted that since he fell over his head, his memory has become much worse, and he should think slowly when he thinks about things.
However, when he rests enough, the reaction will be faster, and Fang Jun feels that as long as he practices more, his voice will be much more rounded, which is the best time to open a concert.
Zhang Weiwen is also very confident in his performance, he said that he is very unhappy not to sing for two years, and he feels useless because he cannot make money. There is no such thing as other income, because the social welfare funding is only enough to support life.
Fang Jun broke the news that in fact, those subsidies were not enough for Zhang Weiwen to use, and every month he took the initiative to subsidize the living expenses of the other party, but he did not tell Zhang Weiwen before.
Fang Jun and Zhang Weiwen are only partners, not related by blood, but they can be so good to him, it is too affectionate and righteous.
In contrast, Zhang Weiwen's relationship with his own son is a bit strange.
According to Zhang Weiwen, his first love girlfriend had quietly given birth to a son for him, but did not let the father and son meet. Even so, he still pays more than 10,000 yuan in child support to his first love every month, which is considered to be the responsibility of his father.
It is regrettable that since Zhang Weiwen fell ill, his first love and son have not expressed it, and he does not know whether he does not want to involve himself or other hidden secrets.
