I have heard of artists being banned because of bad conduct, but you have never heard of artists being banned because their singing style is too positive.
’s way of causing trouble is really not a joke. There was indeed such a case in Hong Kong Entertainment back then.
So, who is it and what kind of song is it that makes Hong Kong Entertainment so intolerable?
He is Zhang Mingmin, and the song he sings is "My Chinese Heart".
In 1983, two of Hong Kong's music geniuses quietly wrote a song. After writing it, they felt deeply melancholy because, looking at the whole of Hong Kong, it is estimated that few people would have the courage to sing this song.
This song is "My Chinese Heart".
html In the early 1980s, Hong Kong was still separated from the mainland. People from the mainland were waiting to return, but most people in Hong Kong had quietly forgotten where their roots were. The birth of the songis actually for awakening. However, it is obvious that under the circumstances at that time, the fate of this song was actually heading towards risk.
The two composers were unwilling to let their good songs fall into the dust, so they still tried their best to find the right person to sing them. At this time, they thought of Zhang Mingmin.
Zhang Mingmin is not a professional musician, and it originally did not meet their expectations. However, Zhang Mingmin has a great characteristic, that is, he is very patriotic and very brave.
html In 2082, the island country publicly tampered with history and beautified its aggression, arousing the opposition of many patriots. Among them, Zhang Mingmin specially released an album called "Chinese Nation" to express his support for the motherland and his hatred of evil people.Let me ask, who else is more suitable than him? So, a simple message was brought to Zhang Mingmin.
Although he made it clear that recording this song required a certain amount of pressure, Zhang Mingmin didn't care. To him, he was just a nobody, and no matter how bad he was, he could be as bad as he was.
He came over easily. However, after seeing the song and humming it again, he could no longer remain calm. A strong emotion surged in
's heart. He knew that he was deeply touched by this good song! It was such a surge from his chest that he simply couldn't let it go.
Just like that, he not only recorded the song actively with the greatest enthusiasm, but also recorded it on tape at his own expense and put it into the market. However, contrary to expectations, this tape did not make any splash.
"It would be great if there was a big singer willing to sing, otherwise, "My Chinese Heart" would have become famous long ago!" Zhang Mingmin thought that he was not famous enough, but he was not disappointed.
In his spare time, he would sing this song to people around him, or sing it to people on the street. He did his best to spread it, hoping that "My Chinese Heart" would have a chance to be liked by the public.
No one thought that the opportunity would come soon.
A year later, China and Britain determined the date of Hong Kong's return. This news caused a sensation in Hong Kong and the mainland. The director of the Spring Festival Gala in the Mainland took advantage of the situation and invited a Hong Kong star to perform at the Spring Festival Gala. For this choice, Zhang Mingmin was chosen.
The reason why he was chosen was precisely because the director accidentally found his tape and listened to the song "My Chinese Heart" that expresses his deep love for the motherland.
Zhang Mingmin came to the mainland for the first time and saw that the development of the mainland was booming. The feeling in his heart about returning to the motherland was filled with relief and expectation.
This year, the Spring Festival Gala song "My Chinese Heart" shocked the mainland. Mainland people knew Zhang Mingmin's name overnight, and everyone hummed this beautiful song when they went out.
became popular overnight, and the enthusiasm of the compatriots could not be stopped. Zhang Mingmin couldn't wait to return to Hong Kong and couldn't wait to share his experiences in the mainland. He wanted many people to know how good the mainland is!
However, when he returned, he realized that in the eyes of Hong Kong people, his journey was undoubtedly just an elbow turned out, and he was brutally blocked!
Actually, Zhang Mingmin doesn’t care that much about the ban. Although
became popular in the mainland, in Hong Kong, he was just a factory worker from beginning to end and could not be considered a star at all.
But at this point, his life began to split into two levels. On one side, he was a low-class person in Hong Kong, and on the other side, he was a recognized singer in the mainland.
Becoming a singer will naturally bring many benefits. However, Zhang Mingmin used all these benefits in one position, that is, giving back to charity.
In 1988, the country was preparing for the Asian Games with great fanfare. Zhang Mingmin, who had nowhere to put his patriotism, expressed his full support in his own way.
He spent more than a year traveling to 24 cities and holding 154 concerts. He worked tirelessly and sang until smoke came out of his throat. And every penny he got was funneled into the Asian Games funds.
Not only that, he has not hesitated to repeat the path of singing and raising money across the country for the disabled, disaster relief and poverty alleviation, construction of Hope Project, tourism development and other projects.
A singer only enjoys the halo. Everything outside the halo is used to "filialize" the motherland. Such a selfless singer, how can he not be moved, how can he not be respected and loved for a lifetime.
In 1997, Hong Kong successfully returned to China. Zhang Mingmin, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, was relieved. He did not continue to be a singer, but joined the team of doing practical things without hesitation.
It is worth mentioning that was banned by Hong Kong Entertainment for 13 years and was finally unblocked until the moment of return. But at this time, he only wanted to be an amateur singer.
In 2005, after years of hard work, Zhang Mingmin became the chairman of a biotechnology company. After
changed his appearance, he still did not forget to do his best to help the people in need.
Zhang Mingmin has devoted his whole life to patriotism and taught his children never to forget their motherland.
This is a kind of inheritance. Although Zhang Mingmin's parents were in Hong Kong at that time, the first family rule in educating their children was that no matter where they are or what they do, they should never forget that they are Chinese.
Nowadays, perhaps this sentence has become our consensus, but in the harsh environment of Hong Kong back then, a pair of sober parents were simply rare.
Zhang Mingmin’s parents did not know what their education had brought to their children and what it had brought to Hong Kong. Their persistence was nothing more than their unchanging sincerity as descendants of Yan and Huang.
A family regards patriotism as a family heirloom and doesn’t know how to express this deep feeling.
A truly great singer, a great family who has never changed his original intention. With deep respect, listen to "My Chinese Heart" again...
