I recall that back then, Jin Weiling's song "Grateful Heart" was like a spring breeze, spreading throughout the streets and alleys. At that time, she was in the limelight, and her status in the music world was as high as that of a queen. Now, when mentioning Jin Weiling, how many people will shake their heads and sigh, how could the singer who was once so much in the spotlight end up like this? How is the name Mao Amin closely connected with her destiny?
Jin Weiling, once a bright star in the music industry, left the music industry in anger due to a series of unfair treatment. Some people say that it was Mao Amin's rise that made her lose her due shine. But what is the truth? Did Mao Amin really do something ulterior? Or is there a more complex force behind this?
After quitting the entertainment industry, Jin Weiling’s life was not satisfactory. Being beaten to a concussion by his own brother, such a family scandal makes people sigh. The former diva can now only make ends meet by working as a nanny. Such a gap is unacceptable. But this is reality, cruel and ruthless. What kind of power is hidden behind the music scene? Who "forced" the former diva to become a "down-and-out aunt"?
A bright star in the music industry, but a twists and turns in her fate.
Born in 1957, she seemed destined to have an indissoluble bond with music. The singing that filled the home was like the background music of her growth, accompanying her every day and night.
has no professional training, but her talent cannot be concealed. When Jin Weiling stood on the stage of the National Popular Song Contest, at that moment, all the spotlights seemed to be on her alone. Her "Love Ok Glue" is as intoxicating as a young love affair. The sales volume of more than 800,000 cassettes is the best proof of her popularity.
In that competition, Jin Weiling touched the hearts of countless people with her song "The Love of Green Leaves to the Roots" and successfully defeated Mao Amin and Wei Wei to win the championship. But fate seems to always play tricks. Just when she was about to step onto the international stage and win glory for her country, a letter changed the trajectory of her fate.
Gu Jianfen, a big boss in the music field, her letter made Jin Weiling’s dream of Yugoslavia come to nothing. Mao Amin replaced her and stepped onto the international stage, while Jin Weiling could only watch helplessly as the opportunity slipped through her fingers.
Perhaps to make up for it, Gu Jianfen once extended an olive branch to Jin Weiling and composed the song "The World Needs a Warm Heart" tailor-made for her. But Jin Weiling's heart has cooled down. She rejected this "charity" and chose her own path.
Some people say that if Jin Weiling had accepted Gu Jianfen's support at that time, her fate might have been different. But life is like this, full of unknowns and variables. Jin Weiling chose to study in the United States and start a new life.
Singer in a bar, meets true love
Her dream of studying in the United States was shattered when her guarantor passed away. The heavy pressure of life and the "evil trends" in the circle made her feel tired, and she finally chose to quit the music industry. But life has to go on, and she had to run around and became a singer.
Once, Jin Weiling came to a bar in Suzhou to sing. The lights here were dim, but they couldn't conceal her inner exhaustion and helplessness. However, fate always brings surprises inadvertently. Here, she met Lin Jinyi, a college student who was doing a work-study program.
Although Lin Jinyi is 15 years younger than Jin Weiling, their love for music gives them a common language. What's even more rare is that Lin Jinyi's sincerity moved Jin Weiling.
She was used to seeing intrigues in the entertainment industry, and she seemed to have found a breath of fresh air. Regardless of the dissuasion and strange eyes from the outside world, the two came together resolutely.
Although life after marriage is dull, it is full of happiness. Jin Weiling and Lin Jinyi also have a lovely daughter. Her arrival makes the family more warm and complete. Whenever Jin Weiling comes back from singing in a bar, all the fatigue disappears when she sees the smiling faces of her husband and daughter.
A bumpy life: from the peak of the stage to the bottom of life
In order to spend time with her beloved daughter, Jin Weiling resolutely spent most of her life savings and opened a restaurant in Suzhou. She thought that in this way she could keep the hard-won ordinary happiness. But who knows, the cruelty of life is far more than that.
The restaurant is running smoothly, but her husband Lin Jinyi has become increasingly out of control. He hangs out with friends all day long, eats and drinks, and treats the restaurant as his own carnival venue. Jin Weiling felt sorry for the hard-earned money, and tried to persuade her many times to no avail. Gradually, the rift between husband and wife became deeper and deeper.
In order to save this precarious marriage, Jin Weiling made a difficult decision: to quit the restaurant business and let her husband take full responsibility. She hoped that her husband would realize how difficult it was for her, but it backfired. In less than a year, the restaurant collapsed in the hands of Lin Jinyi.
Jin Weiling's disappointment in her husband reached its peak, and the two decided to part ways. However, before the divorce, Lin Jinyi used his daughter to blackmail her and took away two houses and most of the family property. Jin Weiling turned from a rich woman into a pauper in an instant, and she had no choice but to take her daughter to her parents' home.
But her parents' home is no longer the warm harbor in her memory. Her parents were indifferent to her, and her younger brother regarded her as a thorn in his side. In their opinion, Jin Weiling came back this time just to fight for the family property. Especially the fact that she was carrying a "little oil bottle" made them even more disgusted.
During a fierce conflict, his younger brother actually beat Jin Weiling violently, beating her black and blue. At that moment, she completely collapsed. Her husband's ruthlessness, her family's indifference, her career failure... Under heavy pressure, Jin Weiling suffered from severe depression and wanted to end her life many times.
But every time she saw her young daughter, she couldn't bear it. Her daughter became her only motivation to survive and her ray of light in the darkness.
From the stage to life, Jin Weiling's ups and downs and deep love between mother and daughter
The pressure of life forces Jin Weiling to stand up again. In addition to the living expenses for her and her daughter, there are also the expenses for her own depression medication, which all weigh on her shoulders.
She put down her previous arrogance and even became a home nanny. This busyness allowed her to gradually get out of the shadow of depression and regain the courage to live.
When life gradually stabilized, Jin Weiling's inner desire for the stage ignited again. However, the reality is cruel. It is difficult for her to find a program that is willing to accept her. But she didn't give up, and chose the "stupid way" to sign up for almost every music competition she could get her hands on.
On the stage of "Mamma Mia", Jin Weiling once again sang the song "The Friendship of Green Leaves to Roots". Her singing seemed to travel through time and space, returning to her golden age.
However, fate did not seem to intend to let her go just like this. While recording "China Dream Show", she met Zhou Libo, an old acquaintance. She thought she would be able to take this opportunity to come back to the music scene, but she was almost "undiscovered" due to a dispute.
It turns out that the program team received a letter from a lawyer and had no choice but to delete all scenes of Jin Weiling. Jin Weiling also published an article afterwards, revealing the initiator of the dispute - Gu Jianfen's apprentice Li Jie.
In Li Jie's view, "The Friendship of Green Leaves to Roots" was created by his master Gu Jianfen, but it was reported on the program that the original singer of this song was Jin Weiling, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
The controversy eventually went away, and Jin Weiling failed to make a comeback as she wished. But she did not give up her life and devoted herself to charity. She uses her actions to convey positive energy and wins the respect and support of more people.
What makes Jin Weiling most gratified is her daughter. After studying hard for many years, her daughter was admitted to the Shanghai Film Academy and became her pride. Whenever she talks about her daughter, Jin Weiling's face is always filled with a happy smile.
The rainbow after the storm, the legend of the music industry continues?
Time flies, and now she is 63 years old, but the years do not seem to have left many traces on her body, but have given her a kind of calmness and open-mindedness.
I think back then, the disputes between Jin Weiling, Gu Jianfen and Mao Amin were quite heated. But times have changed, and she no longer dwells on those old things.
Regarding the missed opportunity, she chose to let go and face it with a normal heart. This attitude of calmly accepting reality makes people sigh: This is the real wise man.
Speaking of Jin Weiling's marriage, it once became a major regret in her life. But luckily, she didn't get depressed. On the contrary, she chose to learn from it and bravely stepped out of the shadows to welcome her own new future.
Whose life can be smooth sailing? Everyone will have their own ups and downs and setbacks. Just like the stars who shine brightly on the stage, they also have unknown bitterness and tears behind the spotlight. But the key lies in how we face these difficulties and challenges.
Jin Weiling gave us the best answer with her own actions: that is to adjust your mentality and face everything positively. It is precisely because she has experienced countless hardships and tests that she cherishes everything she has now and pursues her dreams more firmly.
"I will keep singing until the day I can't sing anymore." This is Jin Weiling's biggest dream now. When you heard this sentence, were you also moved by her persistence and love? Yes, no matter how old you are, as long as you have a dream, you should be brave enough to pursue it and realize it.
Perhaps in the near future we will really see the day when Jin Weiling returns to the stage with a new song. At that time, she will once again become the focus and make fans crazy again. And that day will also be a new beginning for her, the beginning of continuing to write a legend.
What do you think of this former generation of singers? Did her experience also give you some inspiration and insights? No matter what, we all hope that Jin Weiling can continue to sing and bring us more classics and touches.
