In the 1980s, there was a singer who became popular all over the country and stood on the highest stage many times.
Almost all of her parents' generation were her fans, and her songs were sung in the streets.
Her crisp and loud singing voice has left a deep impression on people, and this person is Dong Wenhua.
However, in recent years, we have rarely seen this singer on the stage, why is this?

Dong Wenhua was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, in 1962 to ordinary working-class parents.
To say that she later achieved in music, the good conditions she had were only talent and hard work.
Because it is a family with many sisters, the economy of the family is not very good since childhood, and Dong Wenhua has been singing since he was a child by self-study.
Talent is always the most amazing, although he has not received professional guidance, but Dong Wenhua's voice is not worse than professional.
Her sister often brought her with her when she performed at the Children's Palace, and later recalling this experience, Dong Wenhua said that his leader was his sister.
After practicing singing hard, someone finally saw the talent of this little girl.
The school's teacher overheard Dong Wenhua's singing voice and was amazed by her high-pitched voice, so he recommended her to join the school's singing group.
In this way, on the original small stage, for the first time, so many people watched Dong Wenhua's performance, even if she later stepped on a lot of higher stages, she never forgot that time.
Dong Wenhua's parents finally saw their child's talent in singing and decided to let her receive more professional training, although the financial pressure was very high, but still found a teacher for her.
After receiving professional teaching, Dong Wenhua became more mature in singing, and he was able to master some very difficult songs at a young age.
Fast forward to 1977, and Dong Wenhua was 15 years old.
By chance, a person in charge of the new recruiting of the army heard Dong Wenhua's singing, with characteristic singing and singing voice, which left a deep impression on him, and the army needed such a talent as her.
As a result, Dong Wenhua was invited to join the army and became a literary and artistic soldier.
Although the life of the army makes it difficult for Dong Wenhua to adapt in a short period of time, because he is doing what he loves, all problems can be solved.

Due to his excellent performance in the army and the great progress in singing, some people suggested that Dong Wenhua apply for the song and dance troupe.
Because of the accumulation of some performance experience, Dong Wenhua signed up with a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
When interviewing the examiner, although Dong Wenhua was a little timid, he finally finished the song perfectly, and the examiner felt a light in his ears and gave her the first place to pass.
In the end, Dong Wenhua successfully joined the song and dance troupe.
Dong Wenhua's acting path has begun, only 15 years old, she is favored by many predecessors, people are surprised by the talent and strength displayed by this child, which is far beyond her age but can not reach.

When the song "Fifteen Moons" resounded in China, it was in 1984.
This song is the first song released by Dong Wenhua in her singing career, and it is of great significance to her.
Because through "The Fifteenth Moon", people heard the name Dong Wenhua for the first time.
Dong Wenhua took this song to participate in the CCTV TV competition, and the popularity of this song greatly exceeded Dong Wenhua's own imagination, not only could be heard in the streets and alleys, but even sent her to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The child of an ordinary family has thus entered the peak of life and rewritten his destiny.
Dong Wenhua, who debuted at the Spring Festival Gala, shined, and people were amazed by this singer, and at once he was loved by the people of the whole country, and her songs were getting higher and higher.
Many people may choose to continue to be active in front of the camera at such a time and seize this opportunity, but Dong Wenhua believes that he still has a lot of room for improvement in singing, wants to improve himself, chooses to study for further study, and was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts in 1987.
In the same year, Dong Wenhua was selected for the "Huasheng Cup", which pushed her career to a climax.
In the following ten years, Dong Wenhua appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times.
Songs such as "The Great Wall Long", "The Story of Spring", "Yellow River Yellow", "Harbor" and other songs are well-known, among which "The Story of Spring" has become Dong Wenhua's representative work, when talking about the significance of this song
Dong Wenhua said: "This is a song that witnesses the transformation of China's reform and opening up."

Career is smooth, Dong Wenhua's feelings are also very smooth, people have noticed Dong Wenhua's husband Zhang Nan.
In the first year of Dong Wenhua's admission to the Shenyang Military Region Forward Song and Dance Troupe, he met Zhang Nan, who was a tenor in the song and dance troupe, and Dong Wenhua was only a 15-year-old child at that time.
The reason why Zhang Nan was impressed by her was the hard-working strength of this child.
Born in an ordinary family, Dong Wenhua is dressed simply and is also very simple, and he became a female soloist in the song and dance troupe at a young age.
Zhang Nan waited until 1980, when Dong Wenhua was already 18 years old.
After all kinds of hesitation, Zhang Nan finally confessed his love to Dong Wenhua.
But Dong Wenhua, whose life path has just opened, feels that everything is still too early, and falling in love is not the primary consideration for her at present.
Dong Wenhua told Zhang Nan about these heartfelt words, saying that he wanted to develop his career first and that it was too early to fall in love.
Hearing Dong Wenhua's words, Zhang Nan not only did not lose heart, but liked this girl even more, lamenting her excellence and clear planning for the future.
So Zhang Nan promised Dong Wenhua, I am willing to wait for you for five years, Dong Wenhua can't bear to delay Zhang Nan like this, but his heart is really touched by his sincerity and love.
When Dong Wenhua became famous overnight because of "Fifteen Moons", the "five-year covenant" with Zhang Nan had come to the fourth year, and Dong Wenhua not only became a big star at this time, but also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The gap between the two people is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Nan looks at Dong Wenhua on TV, sees that this 22-year-old girl has already walked to such a big stage, worried that before the agreed year, the relationship between the two people will end.
For Zhang Nan's uneasiness, Dong Wenhua did not just comfort him with words, but used actions to show that he did not have the heart for him from beginning to end.
When the "five-year covenant" came, Dong Wenhua proposed marriage to Zhang Nan, and in this way, the two entered the marriage hall.
Perhaps neither of them themselves expected to complete the agreement so punctually, which also proves how deep the feelings between the two are.
Soon after the marriage, Dong Wenhua and Zhang Nan began to live apart.
Zhang Nan did not stop Dong Wenhua's plan to continue her further education, and he has always been supportive of her career.
For the sake of Dong Wenhua's career development, the two negotiated well and decided not to have children for the time being.
In 1989, Dong Wenhua completed his further studies and entered the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.
In order to end this kind of day when the husband and wife lived in two places, Zhang Nan also relied on his own efforts to enter Dong Wenhua's unit, and the two could finally be reunited.
Dong Wenhua has been invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala for several consecutive years and has become a national first-class singer, facing this disparity with her husband, Dong Wenhua can only eliminate his uneasiness by taking care of him more carefully and delicately.
The son of Dong Wenhua and Zhang Nan, born in 1993.
When she was just pregnant, her friends around her advised Dong Wenhua that having a child would affect her career, from the birth of the child to the birth of the child, at least a year after leaving the stage, to seriously consider.
But Dong Wenhua firmly said that she and her husband had not had children for many years of marriage, and they already owed him a lot, and she could not be so selfish.
When her son was born, Dong Wenhua felt the joy of being a mother, which was a feeling that she could not replace how much success she had in her career.

Such a happy family, career and family love, Dong Wenhua has taken care of it very well.
This happiness lasted until 1999, when Dong Wenhua was accused of being linked to a major smuggling case.
The impact of this smuggling case in that year was extremely bad, not only the amount of money involved was huge, but also many people were involved, and Dong Wenhua was the most serious one.
Lai's company has evaded more than 30 billion yuan in taxes in a few years, shocking the country.
Dong Wenhua and the person involved in the case, Lai Changxing, are good friends and usually have some personal relations, but after the smuggling case broke out, rumors spread that Dong Wenhua and Lai Changxing had an improper relationship.
For a time, Dong Wenhua received a lot of insults, her personal image was seriously damaged, and her career declined day by day.
Although Dong Wenhua repeatedly clarified that he had no improper relationship with Lai Changxing, and even Lai Changxing himself came forward to say that the two were just ordinary friends, public opinion continued to ferment, and no one paid attention to Dong Wenhua's explanation.
In the end, Dong Wenhua slowly "disappeared" in the public eye.
In the face of all this criticism and accusations, her husband Zhang Nan has been unswervingly accompanying Dong Wenhua and always believing in her personality, and during that dark period, her husband and son were her only spiritual strength.
For many years after that, we didn't see Dong Wenhua's performance on TV again, and she could only perform some small performances off the camera.

Many years have passed, and Dong Wenhua, who has been silent for a long time, has finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
Now 59 years old, she has kept pace with the times, improved her musical style and singing style, and her attitude towards music is different from that of her youth.
When talking about the concept of the new album, Dong Wenhua said that he is a singer with ideas, willing to explore and learn, and integrate more musical forms.
Now that she has short burgundy hair, she keeps up with the trend situation and has long since given up the attack she suffered.
Although there are regrets, after starting again, I feel a relaxed attitude towards life, which will make me more comfortable in singing.
