"Don't kneel down for me!"
One day in 1987, a concert was held at the Hung Hom Stadium. Movie king Chow Yun-fat was invited to be a guest. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of the singer on the stage.
This move made everyone look shocked, and the singer immediately knelt down and repeatedly said to Chow Yun-fat: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, get up quickly!"
Unexpectedly, a similar scene was staged again in 2014, this time he knelt down The person is the king Andy Lau. Andy took the opportunity to assist in singing and expressed his admiration for the lead singer in front of him.
This singer who makes even superstars kneel down is named Xu Xiaofeng, and he is now in his 70s.
Who is Xu Xiaofeng? What charm does she have that can make movie stars and kings bend their knees for her?
In January 1949, Xu Xiaofeng was born in an ordinary family in Wuhan. When she was two years old, her parents decided to move to Hong Kong, where they opened a small food shop to support daily expenses.
As the eldest daughter, Xu Xiaofeng has taken the initiative to take care of the lives of her younger siblings since she was a child. When she was in the second grade of junior high school, due to the pressure of life, she had to drop out of school and go home to devote herself to running the store's business.
Her daily work is busy and boring, so she likes to sing to relieve fatigue in her free time.
In 1965, by chance, a friend invited her to sign up for the "Hong Kong Orioles" music competition, and Xu Xiaofeng readily agreed. Although
has not systematically studied music theory and singing skills, her unique and rich voice impressed the judges, and she unexpectedly won the championship.
Winning this award greatly increased Xu Xiaofeng’s confidence, and she decided to become a singer.
However, in that era, singing was not a glorious career. Xu Xiaofeng's parents were also biased against this industry and were particularly opposed to her choice. Seeing this, Xu Xiaofeng solemnly promised her parents: "Don't worry, no matter what industry I am in, I guarantee that I will not be a bad learner, okay?"
When her parents saw how determined she was, they were also shaken. Xu Xiaofeng took advantage of the victory and continued to persuade her parents while singing in karaoke bars and nightclubs. When
was busiest, she had to go to more than a dozen places a night. Her parents saw her love for this industry and finally agreed, and Xu Xiaofeng joined a record company as she wished.
In 1969, this girl who fought for her dream made her official debut after recording an album with the help of Wen Jiubo, a famous musician at the time.
Xu Xiaofeng was only 20 years old at the time. She was full of enthusiasm for singing and recorded 12 songs in 2 days.
You must know that many singers at that time were unable to record four or five songs a day.
After these 12 songs were produced into three albums and released, Xu Xiaofeng gained recognition from many music fans.
In 1970, she released her first solo album "Xu Xiaofeng Episode 1-Who Can Know My Love". Since then, her career has gradually improved.
Xu Xiaofeng's parents saw that her work was stable, so she began to urge her to get married and have children.
She promised her parents' request, but she focused all her energy on singing. Even if her parents secretly arranged a blind date, she would just deal with it.
But one day in 1980, Xu Xiaofeng suddenly announced her relationship.
Her officially announced boyfriend’s name is Liao Hui, and the two have even reached the stage of discussing marriage.
It is said that Liao Hui is a car manager with a very large business. Both of them are interested in singing, so they have many common topics and get along very sweetly.
Later, Liao Hui’s career continued to expand, and he wanted to explore the market in the United States, so he hoped that Xu Xiaofeng could live in the United States with him.
When Xu Xiaofeng heard that he wanted to leave Hong Kong and change his nationality, Xu Xiaofeng resolutely rejected the proposal. This disagreement eventually led to the two breaking up.
From then on, Xu Xiaofeng devoted herself wholeheartedly to her career, and there was no news of love.
Until 1994, Hong Kong media revealed a shocking fact: Xu Xiaofeng and Zheng Jinghan had been married in Canada! The newspaper
published the official marriage documents of the two in Canada in 1974. Both men and women signed their names using their previous names.
Everyone was excited when the news came out, but Xu Xiaofeng acted calmly and never mentioned her relationship.
Zheng Jinghan later talked about their past in an interview on "Zhiyun Dinner". At that time,
turned out to be a fundraising party at Vancouver at that time. He invited the two most popular singers in Hong Kong at that time, Du Lisa and Xu Xiaofeng came to sing.
Zheng Jinghan has been in business for many years. He founded the Paramount Group. He is very successful in the publishing industry. This first meeting marked the beginning of their fate.
However, after experiencing a sweet past, they finally parted ways.
Zheng Jinghan said in the show that if fate is gone, it will be gone. However, in my heart, Xu Xiaofeng is still the best woman. She is motivated, strong, and always has an innocent heart for her career.
After the report, Xu Xiaofeng remained single for many years, but this did not affect her longing for love.
Xu Xiaofeng has always believed that it is a very beautiful picture for lovers to finally get married, so she always sends her most sincere blessings to lovers at her concerts. Although
, Xu Xiaofeng has not experienced emotional experience, but her career is singing all the way, and new albums will come out every year. Since the debut of
, Xu Xiaofeng's songs can be broadcast for 3 days and 3 nights. At the same time, it is also the holder of 43 concert records in the Red Pavilion within a year.
Her dedication and hard work not only won her the following of fans, but also impressed many stars in the industry.
At a concert in 1987, actor Chow Yun-fat was invited as a guest. He finally had the opportunity to share the stage with his idol. After the singing, he knelt down to pay tribute to Xu Xiaofeng. The fans in the audience were shocked and applauded continuously.
Many years later, a similar scene appeared again.
At that concert in 2014, Andy Lau was the guest. After singing the song, he knelt down directly next to Xu Xiaofeng, not hiding his respect for her at all.
Later, Andy also expressed on the show that he was willing to raise Xu Xiaofeng for the rest of his life.
Xu Xiaofeng’s super high professional ability and charisma have not only won her the respect of movie kings and kings, but also made CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala stage an exception for her. When
was prepared in the Spring Festival Gala in 1989, the show team issued an invitation to her singing on stage. At this time, she had the work arrangement of the concert and could only refuse the Spring Festival Gala.
Unexpectedly, after discussion, the Spring Festival Gala program team decided to let Xu Xiaofeng record the song and play the video directly at the party. This move was unprecedented for the Spring Festival Gala.
Xu Xiaofeng's singing has spread all over Jiuzhou, and fans are fascinated by it.
In 1995, Xu Xiaofeng, who was full of energy on the stage, suddenly announced that she would take a break from the stage. After the pace of life slowed down, she finally had time to enjoy life.
However, news of the death of artists of the same period as Xu Xiaofeng kept coming, which made Xu Xiaofeng feel very sad.
Especially when she learned about the death of her friend Rowan, she walked to the refrigerator uncontrollably, took out the peanut butter inside, and took a big bite to calm down.
After calming down, Xu Xiaofeng made a new decision for herself: In July 2005, after 10 years of absence from the stage, she chose to cooperate with Emperor and return to the stage. Mainland China and then abroad, after the comeback of Tsui Siu-fung, she continued to realize the dreams of her fans, and with the memory of her close friends, she completed their unfinished musical journey.
At the Greater Bay Area Music Evening Last year, the 74 -year -old Xu Xiaofeng appeared in a pink skirt.
In this life, the most important thing is to fulfill yourself.
Since discovering her singing talent, Xu Xiaofeng has never wavered in her dream of becoming a singer. She works hard towards her goals calmly and firmly, and always presents the most beautiful singing voice to everyone. She continues to improve her business capabilities. As long as she stands on the stage, she must sing the best song for her fans.
Time flies by, but the strength of such a palace-level singer has not lost at all to the passage of time.
Xu Xiaofeng yearns for beautiful love and is even more obsessed with career. In this life, she has always seriously lived the life she chose, walked her own path, and looked at her own scenery.
Now, at the age of 75, she is alone, but she is still the best version of herself.
