The name Cai Qin, you can't not know.
Even when you hear these two words, your mind has involuntarily floated up "Who is knocking on my window ~ who is ~ ~ stirring the heartstrings ~~"
Released more than 50 records, film and television songs, and sang representative works all over the country... Such a Cai Qin, called a queen of heaven, is not excessive.
However, do you know who touched Cai Qin's heart?
It all starts with her experience.
Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, she lived in a repressive environment as a child.
Her father has been traveling to the sea for a long time, and her mother is very grumpy as a housewife at home, and in addition to her, she has two younger brothers in the family, and she dropped out of school in her sophomore year of high school in order to take care of her younger brother.
Since childhood, she has been inferior to herself, and she has always liked music in order to dispel her troubles. Later, in order to buy a guitar, she went to participate in a singing competition, and although she did not win the prize, it officially opened the door for her to enter the music industry.
In 1979, she became popular with a single "Just Like Your Tenderness", and then sang the theme song "Choice" to the film, which won the 1st Golden Tripod Award for Best Singer in the Record Category.
For the Queen of Heaven, it seems that the life behind is to sing, sing, and win bigger awards... Until she met Yang Dechang, it was 1986.
Director Yang Dechang, who is ten years older than her, invited her to be the heroine of her film "Green Plum Bamboo Horse", which Cai Qin gladly accepted.
(Movie "Green Plum Bamboo Horse")
In this movie, Cai Qin wears a white suit, large sunglasses are sassy and cool, and even the mole under her eyes is quite stylish, which has won a good review from the audience.
That is, after filming this movie, Yang Dechang began to pursue Cai Qin madly.
One is a talented up-and-coming director, the other is a popular actress with a charming voice, and the two soon fall in love.
In fact, Cai Qin also knew that Yang Dechang had a marriage before her, but she didn't care, and the two people still chose to get married.
However, Yang Dechang told her that in order not to let this feeling be mixed with any impurities, not to be subject to any blasphemy and bondage, they must maintain Plato's relationship, because each other is in the ascending stage of their careers.
This seemingly unreasonable request, Cai Qin still accepted.
After getting married, they always respected each other as guests, and when they slept, they also slept in separate rooms.
While the feelings are stable, in Yang Dechang's films, we can often see Cai Qin's shadow.
At the end of "Terrorist", the gunshots rang out, the protagonist's head fell to the ground and was bloodied, and Cai Qin's singing voice came: "Please pretend that you will not want me, please temporarily put away your indifference..."
There are also artists in "The Age of Independence", cameos in "The Juvenile Murder Incident on Muling Street" and so on.
During that time, Yang Dechang was very poor, and his usual filming life depended on Cai Qin for support, and Cai Qin also did his best to provide his tenderness and help.
Although there is no sex in the married life of two people, they respect each other as guests and are happy.
Until the explosion of "The Juvenile Murder Incident on Muling Street".
This nearly four-hour film was almost enshrined in the film industry, winning the 1991 Tokyo International Film Jury Award, the Film Critics Award, the Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film, etc. Yang Dechang is also known as the "scalpel of Taiwanese society".
As her husband's career flourished, the emotional crisis of the two people also ensued.
In 1995, after ten years of marriage, Yang Dechang finally showed Cai Qin a showdown: he was in love with someone else.
This "other" is the pianist Peng Jiaoli, and both of them love classical music because once they talked about Bach, they came together, and they got closer and closer.
As for the ten-year marriage with Cai Qin, Yang Dechang responded: Ten years of feelings, a blank.
Cai Qin heard this and replied: "I don't think it's a blank, I have all the effort." ”
Yes, Cai Qin supported her husband's entire career, accepted his incredible "sexless marriage" request, and paid so much for her, how could it be a blank?
The most unacceptable thing is that after five years of divorce from Cai Qin, Yang Dechang and Peng Jiaoli's son was born.
When you got married, "Plato" was proposed by you, sleeping in separate rooms was what you asked for, and the cheating thing was done by you, and the result was that you actually married and had children with others in the blink of an eye?
It is ridiculous to double-mark like this. Don't ask, ask is that the artist's spiritual world is different from our ordinary people.
Later, Yang Dechang and his new wife set up an armor entertainment studio and also entered the field of animation, and Yang Dechang also said that the days with Peng Jiaoli were "the happiest years of my life."
After Lao Yan flew away, Cai Qin did not stop her career, holding concerts in the mainland, going to Broadway to sing operas, continuing to sing songs and release records, the failure of marriage has passed, Cai Qin is still that queen of heaven.
In 2007, Yang Dechang died of colon cancer, and the media called to interview Cai Qin.
It has been 12 years since their divorce, and in the face of the death of her cheating ex-husband, Cai Qin wrote a letter in which she described the news of his death:
"It wasn't until the end of the day, from the TV, that I had seen his repetitive figure, that a strong and sharp stinging pain awakened my feelings, and I blurted out a soft sentence: 'Yang Dechang, how can you just go like this?' ”
Yang Dechang, how can you just go like this?
It is a complex sigh with mixed feelings, and it is also a regret for the life of the past.
Cai Qin also said very objectively: "As his partner, we have been young and struggled; as a woman, he has given me more loneliness than sweetness; as a spectator, we have lost a sharp recorder; as for our past bits, I taste it myself, as my eternal secret when I am alive." ”
Undoubtedly, emotionally, Yang Dechang is not worthy of Cai Qin, but in the achievement of film art, he is also a talented director and a sharp knife inserted into society.
These Cai Qin knows.
So there is no hatred, no forgiveness, no talk about the past, those little memories, just stay in Cai Qin's heart.
Recently, on a singing show, a girl wore a veil and sang a song called "Getting Married."
Cai Qin burst into tears after seeing it, she said that her marriage was not happy, she had also been so sweet, so beautiful...
Then a mother contestant came on stage, and Cai Qin said sadly: This is a role I can never try.
Because of the ten years with Yang Dechang, she was dragged on for too long and too long.
At the recording scene, Cai Qin cried loudly, like a little girl.
Now Cai Qin is 62 years old, still has a fresh voice and a beautiful posture, and the traces of her youthful and heroic posture can still be seen on her face, and she can also see her pain and bitterness over the years.
Plato's love, which later became a satirical joke, flogged the personality of a well-known director and left an indelible mark on the life of the queen of heaven.
After singing a lifelong love song, I hope that Teacher Cai Qin can also meet a lover in the next life, read her a thousand times, and do not get tired.
