He was once one of the most reputable tenor singers in China.

His songs were widely sung in the 1980s and 1990s, and they are a household name.

His songs are also very popular internationally, and European and American experts praise him as China's Bavalotti.

He also served as the head of the Central National Song and Dance Ensemble for many years, and was selected as one of the "60 People's Favorite Artists" by People's Daily Online.

That's right, he is Jiang Dawei, a public figure who has been in the music scene for decades, but was destroyed by immigration and discrimination against peasant singers in his later years, and has been criticized by netizens with mixed reputation.

Jiang Dawei was born in an ordinary family in Tianjin in 1947. He loved art when he was a child. At that time, he had a dream that one day his works would not only be popular but also sell for a good price.

For this dream, Jiang Dawei has spent more than ten years learning Western painting and Chinese calligraphy since he was in middle school, and has achieved good results.

Originally, he could go further on the road of fine arts, but by all odds, he joined the Forest Police Art Troupe in 1970. He had no time to work on calligraphy and painting, so he had to switch to a singer.

, because of Jiang Dawei's vast range, clear voice, and clear utterance, he soon stood out in the song and dance troupe. A few years later, he was transferred to the Central Song and Dance Ensemble as a solo actor by the leaders of wise eyes and talents, and started a new round of work on the music stage.

Jiang Dawei sang many popular songs, but when it comes to his famous works, not many people know about it.

An old movie "Green Pine Ridge" shot by Changying in the 1970s. The theme song "Along the Socialist Front" was very nice, and it was also popular back then. The original sung of that song was Jiang Dawei, who had just come out of the field.

In 1980, Jiang Dawei sang "The Song of Peony", the theme song of the movie "Red Peony". The recognition, popularity, and popularity of this song exceeded Jiang Dawei's expectations.

For a time he became a well-known singer in China and was appointed as the head of the Central Song and Dance Troupe.

Since then, Jiang Dawei has been like a fish in the water on the Chinese music stage, sang many songs that have been passed down to this day. "Northern Spring", "Farewell", "A Horse Galloping and Protecting the Frontier" are all classic songs that have never faded.

In 1984, Jiang Dawei boarded the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang the song "A Place Where Peach Blossoms Are Blooming":

! Hometown! A place that will never be remembered

For your beautiful scenery

I would like to stay in the snowy border

This song has a beautiful melody, the treble is mellow and loud, which makes people listen to it. Tirelessly. In particular, this song uses scenery to describe people, expressing the acclaim for the hardworking fighters on the border, so the response was particularly strong, and it was widely sung among the people.

In 1986, Jiang Dawei sang the ending song "Dare to Ask Where is the Way" in Yang Jie's version of "Journey to the West", which enabled him to reach the pinnacle of art and became the most popular tenor of the year.

When Jiang Dawei was already quite famous on the stage, Yu Wenhua was still in elementary school. Yu Wenhua, who was born in the countryside of Tangshan, was also a bitter child.

Yu Wenhua once recalled that due to the poverty of his family, when I was young, my mother always loved to say: Eat, mother doesn’t like to eat; when I grow up, my mother always likes to say: Don’t buy, I don’t like to eat ; Later, after living a tolerant life, I realized that it was not that my mother did not like to eat, but that she was reluctant to eat.

In this childhood, under the care of his mother, Yu Wenhua grew up day by day. At that time, Yu Wenhua had an aunt who was Han Shaoyun, the founder of the Chinese Ping Opera master Han Pai. Under the influence of Han Shaoyun, he graduated from Wenhua Middle School and applied for the Hebei Art School to study Chinese opera.

In 1985, after graduating from the art school, he was admitted to the China Conservatory of Music in Wenhua, specializing in the performance of national operas.

is also outstanding in the beautiful appearance of Wenhua's singing. In 1987, he was invited for the first time to record the interlude "Burial Flower Yin" for the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions". After that, Yu Wenhua began to change career and develop his singing career.

In 1988, Yu Wenhua officially entered the Central Song and Dance Ensemble as a solo singer. In the following year, he sang the song "Crane" at the opening ceremony of the "90-Beijing Asian Games" and attracted the attention of the public.

Yu Wenhua really became popular when he partnered with Yin Xiangjie and sang the enduring love song "Tracker's Love". This song is violent and unrestrained, and it fully expresses the bold pursuit of love by a fisher girl who dares to love and hate. In those days when it was still a little conservative, it stirred up waves like a stone and aroused strong responses from the audience.

later in the 1995 Spring Festival Gala organized by CCTV, Yu Wenhua sang the song "It doesn't rain, it won't be windy, there is the sun in the sky", and won the gold medal in the song and dance program of the 94 Spring Festival Gala.

So far, that little girl who loves opera, has completed the perfect transformation of her life, and has become a prosperous female singer.

When Jiang Dawei and Yu Wenhua were in the midst of their singing careers, the overcoat brother Zhu Zhiwen was still an unknown farmer. Unlike the two of them, although Zhu Zhiwen loves to sing, but because he has no culture, he cannot enter the elegant art hall to learn professional knowledge.

But this does not affect the obsessiveness of Brother Coat, so he can sing a few words when he has a little spare time, and he will not forget to sing his favorite songs after a meal.

However, Zhu Zhiwen's hobby of singing was not understood by the villagers, and was once considered mentally ill. Under such circumstances, Da Yi still kept his original intentions and insisted on singing.

Until 2011, Zhu Zhiwen introduced to the Shandong TV station variety show "I am a big star", and performed the song "Rolling the Yangtze River East Passing Water" with great affection, which shocked all the judges and the audience. Unsurprisingly, he won the championship of the column.

In the same year, Zhu Zhiwen won the monthly championship and fifth place in the "Avenue of Stars" on CCTV. He wore that classic yellow coat and sang the image on CCTV. He was affectionately called brother coat by netizens and quickly became popular throughout the country.

Zhu Zhiwen can achieve such a good achievement, in addition to his tireless pursuit and hard work in the singing career, it is also inseparable from Yu Wenhua's selfless guidance and help to him.

Yu Wenhua saw Zhu Zhiwen's performance on TV by chance, and he attracted special attention at that time. Yu Wenhua was very moved because of Zhu Zhiwen's hard background and his near-obsession with singing.

However, some big names in the song industry at that time were not optimistic about Zhu Zhiwen, thinking that his image was not good, even if he became the champion, it was luck. Yu Wenhua felt that he should help Brother Dayi so that he could go further in his singing career.

Later, Yu Wenhua came to Zhu Zhiwen's hometown in Shanxian County, a thousand miles away, to visit and encourage him, but also to give him some professional guidance and help him plan his future life.

It can be said that Yu Wenhua's help to Zhu Zhiwen is quite effective, coupled with Yu Wenhua's status and influence in the singing industry, Zhu Zhiwen can step by step to become more stable and long-term.

Jiang Dawei, who is also a singer, is actually a teacher of Zhu Zhiwen. He also accepted Zhu Zhiwen in publicAlthough there is no public statement about the hand-poured tea, it is undoubtedly equivalent to accepting the student Zhu Zhiwen.

However, Jiang Dawei never taught Zhu Zhiwen to sing. He later said that the apprenticeship ceremony was nothing more than a show. In his heart, he did not even look down on this old hat singer from the countryside.

Not only that, Jiang Dawei said in an interview with the TV station a few days ago: Some people at

call themselves farmers singers. I say that singers are a profession and farmers are also a profession; if you are a singer, you You're not a farmer anymore. If you are really a singer, you won't be farming, and you will just run up to that platform. I also claimed to be my student, there are really too many such people.

Jiang Dawei's unobtrusive remarks meant that Zhu Zhiwen was a farmer who cultivated the land and was only famous for his reputation. His profession is farming, not singing on stage. In his opinion, those who sang are all elegant people, and it should be something that modest gentlemen in suits and shoes like him should do.

Jiang Dawei's remarks completely angered millions of netizens. For a time, the Internet denounced his posts flooded and swept the screens on major websites, which made people dizzying.

To sum up, the reason why netizens are dissatisfied with Jiang Dawei is the language he speaks that discriminates against farmers, and that he gave his daughter a green card after immigrating overseas. At the same time, netizens did not see him donating money to the disaster area.

, on the other hand, although he made some money after he became famous, he still did not forget his original aspiration. Adhering to the peculiar nature of a peasant, he successively donated millions of yuan to his hometown and Wuhan.

All of this, the people who eat melons have seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. Brother Dayi is not doing a show, but actually fulfilling the obligations of a peasant, because he has a gold-hearted heart.

I don’t know what Jiang Dawei feels after seeing all this. Given the virtues of Dayi brother, should Jiang Dawei reflect on it?

morality is not coordinating, it is right to let the good! As a melon-eating crowd who loved Jiang Dawei's songs, I would like to sincerely advise him: No matter how much honor, it is a mere cloud of smoke. Art is a rootless grass if it leaves the public. In this regard, Jiang Dawei still learns from teacher Wenhua. , It’s better to be low-key in the world!
