Tsai Chin is my favorite Chinese female singer, let me tell her story.
Cai Qin was born in 1957.
She is the eldest daughter, and her father is an ocean-going captain. She has been away from home for a long time. She naturally assumes the responsibility of a man in the family.
She said that her mother did not dare to sleep alone, and shared a bed with her sister every day.
Cai Qin, the eldest sister, slept alone in a hut by the back door - in order to symbolically protect the safety of the whole family.
Qiong Yao's parents forced Qiong Yao to go to university. This is a family that wants a girl to become a phoenix.
But in ordinary families, the eldest daughter is often the one who is abandoned.
Cai Qin dropped out of high school in the second year of high school in order to help her younger siblings to review.
took the college entrance examination again two years later, and was admitted to the "Jiajian Specialist Night Division" - in short, a night college.
She debuted in 1979 with the song "Just Like My Tenderness".
However, she wears glasses and has a low education. For a long time, she has low self-esteem because of her appearance.
She once wrote a letter to introduce herself, and she came up and said, "I'm an ugly Cai Qin with glasses."
Is she beautiful?
But I know under what circumstances a woman would take the initiative to call herself "ugly", for self-defense, so that she foresaw what you might say.
She must have heard people say she is ugly many times, maybe face to face or behind her back.
Why did she accept ten years of sexless marriage with Yang Dechang?
Is there any inferiority factor in this?
Does she think that she is not good-looking enough to ask for it? A strong sense of crisis.
In 1991, the second Taiwan Golden Melody Award was awarded to her. She was surprised because she felt that her career was going downhill.
- Big sister, you still have to be popular for 30 years, what a downhill road.
In 1988, after her father had a car accident, had a stroke and was bedridden.
In 1993, his father died.
And in the same year, her UFO record was sold to Warner .
She went to ask the boss: Am I on the blacklist?
The boss cried before saying anything, choked and said: Yes.
- She's in the snow.
Warner will push her own people and will not use resources on her anymore.
In 1995, she divorced.
In 2000, she found out that something had grown on the breasts of .
OK, all you see, the family is broken and the business is stoppedStagnation, failed marriages, health crises — all together make up despair.
Some people say, "Without a man, there will be no despair." Do they underestimate women too much?
Women also have careers.
What did Cai Qin do to fight despair?
Or, what has she been doing to avoid despair?
These all sound like what an artist should do, look further down;
Fourth, write a column. No joke, Cai Qin wrote a column in " Xinmin Evening News ".
Five, write songs. She later wrote songs for herself because she kept writing. She's a golden voice, she's not a singer-songwriter, but she writes hard.
Six, doing styling design, in October 1993 as the movie "Independence Era" (directed by Yang Dechang, this is what she said, doing art for men's movies) styling design, and nominated for the 31st Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Modeling Design;
Seven, singing musicals, learning "singing".
8. In 2003, she went to New York for a three-month art training. She was 46 years old then. In her carry-on luggage, she only brought 1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of casual shoes, 2 pairs of jeans, 5 T-shirts, 240 packets of loquat paste, and 300 packets of Chuanbei almond powder. She set herself the three "zero" principles of "zero popularity", "zero income" and "zero (pro) adaptability".
In 2001, when she held a concert at Hong Kong Red Pavilion , she was finally able to sing " lights up neon lights ". The song
was recorded before her divorce, and for many years she would cry when she heard the prelude.
But she had to sing, and she had to sing this song without crying, so that she could break through her inner demons and go through the most difficult days in her life.
She sang, and when she couldn't continue crying in the middle, it was the audience, the silent audience, who supplemented her with applause.
According to Tsai Chin himself, by 2006, he was almost out.
And in 2012, she said: I never thought about retiring, the more I sang, the happier I became, especially the live audience cheered and gave me the satisfaction of a glorious victory.
—— This kind of satisfaction is the mountain and the sea in a person's heart.
This is the process of a woman breaking through despair with her own power.
And Cai Qin, as early as ten years ago, has sung "Just Like Your Gentleness" 90,000 times.
90,000 times, and each time is full of affection, what a powerful professional quality.
She said something like this:
should get divorced, divorced;
should cut the knife, opened;
should lose weight, lose weight;
z should wear new clothes.
I'm sorry, I didn't expect that there will only be countless concerts at work, countless records, and countless life insights.
Getting rid of despair is not so simple, not traveling or watching dramas;
Despair is not around men; The first place is: divorce; the third place is: career failure (or bankruptcy); the fourth place is: serious illness;
Don't stigmatize women, don't think that women's despair is because of boyfriends, husbands and children, don't think that women have no family, no career, no health.
how to overcome despair, endure the past, and embrace the beautiful possibility when these major setbacks occur, indeed everyone needs to think about it.
Take a look at Cai Qin's face, from the greenness of the ugly duckling to saying on the stage: What are the four kings and how many queens, I am the queen.
How many times of despair and how many times of rebirth she has experienced.
No one can reach the pinnacle of life without despair.
