Life is nothing more than a matter of wind and snow, there will always be a prosperous early spring, and then experience the late autumn when the leaves are falling and withering. One breath and one inhalation, one withering and one glory, one gain and one loss, one crying and laughing, one minute and one second to spend the years like a dream bubble.
For the 56-year-old Hong Kong actor Zeng Hangsheng, life and death, sorrow and joy, union and separation are just a story of continuous cycles.
Sitting on the shore of the years, idly watching the waves rushing and flowing, being mentioned in the past, he has long been light and light, generous response.
Recently, the Hong Kong media interviewed Zeng Hangsheng, who was tired of running for money and supporting his family, and asked him about the reason for his flash marriage to a mainland girl and his comeback, and he took the time to respond one by one, bluntly saying: I am not rich, but my daughter is my jewelry, and I will work hard for her!
I don't know how you react when you hear this passage in front of the screen, but for me it can be described as a mixture of tastes: while admiring Zeng Hangsheng's responsibility as a husband, a father, and a man, I am also lamenting the desolation and desolation of a popular male god.
Why?
Zeng Hangsheng, known as the "complex" of Zun Long and Andy Lau, was born on April 29, 1964 in Lok Min New Village, To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong, and zheng Yijian is a neighbor upstairs and downstairs.
His family has three sisters and one sister, and his father is a seafarer, and he is named Hangsheng, hoping that he will be able to take over his class in the future. As a result, Zeng Hangsheng not only did not go according to his father's expectations, but also took an English name sam - like Xu Guanjie's English name, he longed to become a great singer like Xu Guanjie!
With the guidance of idols, Zeng Hangsheng began to play in disco often when he attended the Sheng Kung Hui Saint Smith Primary School; by the time he attended St. Class Secondary School, he had become the "King of Hedong Song" in Tsim Sha Tsui, and participated in many singing competitions and won many awards.
In 1987, Zeng Hangsheng participated in the second future idol competition held by Asia Television, and he reached the semifinals all the way through the barriers.
In the semi-finals, Zeng Hangsheng chose Zhang Guorong's classic song "Who Resonates" as the entry track, which directly helped him reach the final; however, it is inexplicable that Zeng Hangsheng actually chose Tan Yonglin's "First Tears" as the entry song in the final.
As we all know, at that time, it was in the period of "Tan Zhang's hegemony", Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong's fans were tearing up, and as a result, the "seed player" offended both fans at once, and finally Zeng Hangsheng folded in the final and returned home in sorrow.
In 1989, Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin both announced that they would no longer receive any substantive music awards, and the "Tan Zhang Competition" came to an end. In the same year, Zeng Hangsheng once again participated in the rookie singing competition, this time he won the third place, and there was a heavenly king who competed with him, named Dawn.
At that time, the Chinese music scene suddenly changed: "Tan Zhang's struggle for hegemony" led to tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong's two great kings being defeated and injured; "The Dispute of a Thousand Nights" caused Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang to be discouraged; Chen Baiqiang, despite the amazing sales of records, did not have as much effort as when he debuted... At this time, it is the time for the Hong Kong music scene to alternate between the old and the new!
Over there, the "Four Heavenly Kings" are about to come out; on this side, Warner Records signed Zeng Hangsheng as Warner's "head horse". That was the best time and the worst time in the Hong Kong music scene.
In his first year with Warner, Zeng Hangsheng released nine songs in one go: "Farewell Smile", "Miss Me", "Dreamtime", "No Regrets in This Life", etc., and the following year, he released two albums in a row: "Forever Happy" and "Miss you".
Objectively speaking, the quality and output of Zeng Hangsheng's musical works are still very high, but he was not born at the right time, because the momentum of the "Four Heavenly Kings" was even stronger than his at that time - the entire Hong Kong music scene was suppressed by the "Four Heavenly Kings", not to mention a single-handed Zeng Hangsheng?
Even so, Zeng Hangsheng still left a lot of classic songs. For example, he sang "Goodbye is Also a Friend" with He Wanying, which is still used as a breakup declaration by many couples.
The development of the music scene encountered obstacles, and Zeng Hangsheng had to detour into the film and television circle.
This was impossible at the time: on the one hand, because the "Four Heavenly Kings" were too popular, and on the other hand, because the Hong Kong record industry at that time had already declined.
Zeng Hangsheng and his good brother Lü Fang both transformed into film and television actors.
However, because he had no acting experience, Zeng Hangsheng's development in the film and television circle was not very smooth, and in desperation, he had to learn to host with Paul Zhong on the stage of "Happy Tonight" while playing some dragon set roles.
In his own words: the acting skills at that time were completely unqualified!
For a singer, transforming into an actor without training and acting experience will certainly be very difficult, but as long as you insist on learning and honing, success is only a matter of time. However, Zeng Hangsheng took a "detour".
At that time, he was in the trough of his career and Liang Anqi dragged, the influence of Liang Anqi in the Hong Kong entertainment industry needless to say, after the two fell in love, Zeng Hangsheng as long as he got the opportunity to perform, it would be said that it was Liang Anqi's credit, and more fatally, the Hong Kong media has always questioned Zeng Hangsheng's "eating soft rice".
Zeng Hangsheng, who was controversial and questioned, had to fade out of the entertainment circle and become a "housewife and man".
However, it is regrettable that his acting career has fallen to the bottom, while Liang Anqi's acting career is booming - the two have been in love for 19 years and have not been able to go to the end, and when they broke up, Zeng Hangsheng left Liang Anqi and chose to "get out of the house".
For an artist, the good youth is wasted, where should he go?
In the beginning, the Hong Kong entertainment industry had no place for him, and he had to come to the mainland to develop.
Web dramas, net universities, corporate opening ceremonies, bars, ktv... These occasions had events for him, and he would almost always go.
After running like this for several years, Zeng Hangsheng actually ran out of some fame. In 2013, when TVB filmed "Sharpshooter Sniper", Zeng Hangsheng was introduced by a friend and returned to TVB to become a contracted actor.
In the days of the running field, Zeng Hangsheng met the mainland girl "Garfield", and the two fell in love for a few months and then flashed marriage.
Zeng Hangsheng confessed many times: "Although I am now rich in food and clothing, I am not yet rich enough to have children." ”
However, "Garfield" still gave birth to his daughter "Tongtong" for him without hesitation.
Zeng Hangsheng, who became a father in his fifties, suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but he turned the pressure into motivation and began to work hard for his daughter.
On his social media accounts, in addition to the various business events and performance photos, it is the photos of his daughter.
Although he was very bitter and tired, he said: "I am not rich, but I am very happy at work now, and my family is happy and satisfied!" ”
No matter how long the road is, there are always exits.
Even on a dark and cold rainy night, you will see the morning light.
No matter how beautiful things are, they are not as good as a happy family and a happy marriage.
Best wishes.
