every year the Spring Festival Gala will be popular with many stories and popular people, and even on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the past, many grassroots stars have come out!
In the 2011 Spring Festival Gala, a song "Homesick" touched many people and evoked many wanderers fighting outside and thinking about their hometown and relatives. And even more touching is the singer of this song: Xidan girl!
She was born in an unfortunate family since she was a child. At the age of 16, she went to Beijing alone without graduating from junior high school, working as a waiter, working part-time, and selling in underground tunnels... She tried the hardships of the world, but never gave up one. Hardworking heart. In the past few years, she has become a female president, worth over 100 million.
But looking back at the road that the Xidan girl has walked, it is like the transformation from the ugly duckling to the swan, and it is a model worthy of our study!
Her father was paralyzed and her mother was mentally retarded. At the age of 16, she went to Beijing alone.
On April 13, 1988, a Xidan girl was born in Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, whose real name is Ren Yueli.
Compared with most people’s births, Ren Yueli’s birth can be said to be quite unfortunate. Her father had sick legs and feet and was inconvenient to move. Her mother’s IQ was only two or three years old. So Ren Yueli, who had not graduated from junior high school, dropped out of school early and worked to support her family. .
In 2004, Ren Yueli was 16 years old. In order to make more money and subsidize the family, Ren Yueli came to Beijing alone.
Ren Yueli, who has no culture and no education, can be said to be struggling to live in a big city like Beijing. After several laps on the street, she finally found a job as a waiter in a small restaurant, but she didn’t expect it. After a month, the boss didn't even pay the salary.
Penniless, hungry and cold, Ren Yueli walked through an underground passage and found a man playing an instrument while singing, and pedestrians passing by would give this man a few dollars from time to time. Ren Yueli felt that this Earning money is much more than going to a restaurant as a waiter.
plus Ren Yueli, although her family is poor, she likes to sing since she was a child and feels that her conditions are not worse than that of the man, so she is also preparing to be a stray singer.
also started from that moment when Ren Yueli of knew that this kind of instrument that can be played is called the guitar. After talking with the vagrant singer, apprentices in front of the public to learn art, and then learn guitar with the vagrant singer.
A month later, Ren Yueli became a teacher and could play and sing alone, so Ren Yueli also found an underground passage and started her career in acting.
As soon as it was dark, Ren Yueli set off from her rental house. It took more than an hour to reach the passage by bicycle. At that time, Ren Yueli could sing 60 songs, 60 songs in turn, round after round, It takes about six or seven hours a day to sing.
Later, Ren Yueli discovered that not all the songs are willing to listen to, so Ren Yueli chose to sing songs that made more money, such as the popular "Love Song 1990", "Over Fire", "About Winter" and "Angel" "The Wings of Heaven" and so on, just like that, Ren Yueli has been singing in the underground passage of Xidan for 4 years. She sings hard for a day and can earn 50 to 60 yuan.
is in Beijing. Such income can be said to be rather meager. Ren Yueli’s living expenses are not more than 10 yuan per day for , and most of the remaining income is sent back to her home. Ren Yueli, who is less than 20 years old at , had it early. Carrying up the whole family, even in the winter of minus five or six degrees in Beijing, she has never stopped, because she knows that her parents still need her money to live in her hometown.
December 20, 2008, this day I think Ren Yueli will never forget, because her life has ushered in a major turning point on this day.
On this day, the wind was very strong and the sky was very cold. Ren Yueli's hair had been blown messy and her face was flushed with cold. Some netizens passed by the underground passage in Xidan. At this time, Ren Yueli was singing "Angel Wings". The harsh environment and Ren Yueli's ethereal voice made the netizen cry in tears, so she couldn't help taking out her mobile phone and took a video of Ren Yueli singing. . After
went home and uploaded it to the Internet, I didn’t expect the video to go viral, overnightThe number of hits is as high as 3 million, and is not a big miracle in that era of the Internet.
became popular in the Spring Festival Gala, and released the album
at her own expense. Ren Yueli was so hot, of course not because of how well Ren Yueli sang, but because Ren Yueli’s story touched everyone, , a 16-year-old girl, came to Beijing alone. , This kind of strength and unrecognition exuding in the bones is what everyone wants to have. After
, various TV stations, brokerage companies, and talent shows came in riotously. Ren Yueli also moved from a monthly rent of 350 yuan to a high-end community with a monthly rent of 3,000 yuan.
In order to attend some commercial activities, Ren Yueli also began to learn to dress, dress, and make-up like other stars, because Ren Yueli felt that if she did not do this, others would lower her appearance fee.
often had a meal after the commercial performance. At the beginning, Ren Yueli was at the flattering wine table, like a "fool", unable to catch a word. Later, a friend reminded Ren Yueli that this kind of interpersonal communication is indispensable and can also help her get more performance opportunities. There is no way, Ren Yueli can only bite the bullet and adapt to this wine table culture. , Ren Yueli also learned to act every time.
Sometimes, Ren Yueli herself is also thinking: "Now living conditions are 10,000 times better than before, but is this what I want"?
In 2011, Ren Yueli ushered in her own highlight moment. Through the program "I'm Going to the Spring Festival Gala", she successfully boarded the 2011 Spring Festival Gala stage and sang the song "Homesick". After
, Ren Yueli's worth also increased. The appearance fee once reached 100,000. Her boyfriend Li Gang also helped her register the company and was responsible for Ren Yueli's brokerage affairs.
may be because she was scared of being poor since she was a child, Ren Yueli faced these business performance invitations, and she always refused to come, as long as she gave money to participate. After a year, attended more than 300 performances with business performances and interviews. Sometimes during a busy day, I had to catch two or three sessions.
In 2012, Ren Yueli released her first album. This album was saved after Ren Yueli's Spring Festival Gala. Although with the help of friends, also spent nearly 500,000 yuan in post-production and publicity fees. This is still for Ren Yueli. So, no matter how much it costs, what is the sales volume? It was her lifelong dream to release an album. herself could not think of herself. She was originally a vagrant singer in the Xidan underground tunnel, and one day she could have an album of her own.
However, this album has almost no sales. In addition, at that time, Ren Yueli was in her early 20s. She did not graduate from junior high school and did not plan for herself a good future. Therefore, Ren Yueli's acting career plummeted. The once smash hit Xidan The girl gradually faded out of people's vision.
In 2014, due to the need for program recording, Ren Yueli returned to the Xidan subway channel and sang the song "Angel Wings" that made her go viral. The result of was questioned and hyped by netizens. Many netizens felt that Ren Yueli was not popular because she was no longer popular. Go to the underground passage to hype yourself.
Ren Yueli did not expect that she was only going to record a show, but she was pushed to the forefront of public opinion. After
, Ren Yueli gradually disappeared from the public's field of vision, because Ren Yueli knew that for so many years, she really didn't have much work that she could get, and only sang "Angel Wings", which was another song!
Transformation female president, worth more than 100 million
In 2015, Ren Yueli appeared in the public's career again, but this time is not a singer, not an inspirational girl, but the CEO of her own toothpaste brand! The mature temperament and confident eyes of
are completely different from the little girl who was singing under the underground passage of Xidan in Beijing many years ago. From being sympathized, to being questioned, to being respected, that ordinary rural girl who can no longer be ordinary is realizing her dream step by step through her own efforts.
And according to the Weibo of writer Su Cen, Ren Yueli started a business and made a lot of love toothpaste, and his worth was over.Billion. Really realized what Ma Yun said: dreams must have, in case it is realized!
In 2016, the huge "toothpaste" poster of Ren Yueli landed in Times Square, New York, USA, , a capable black suit and a small top hat amazed everyone, and the loud and familiar slogan: "good toothpaste, made in China" !
can't help but sigh, is this the Xidan girl who used to be a performer and sing under the Xidan passage?
Conclusion
Now, it has been three years for Ren Yueli to touch the guitar that shares the joys and sorrows with her again, but she is still the Xidan girl who is motivated and works hard!
Among the many people drifting north, Ren Yueli is the one with the lowest starting point and the most inconspicuous, but she tells us with her life: as long as she works hard, she can succeed!
Don’t succumb to setbacks, and you will not be constrained by a comfortable life after you become famous. The courage to explore and change is the life pursuit and attitude that a person should have.
