Recently, Liang Jingru joined the "Voice of China" mentor group. She has been silent for a long time and sang on the stage again.
has only one song, which brought Liang Jingru back to the top of the hot search as soon as she opened her mouth.
Twenty-two years ago, she became popular all over the country with the song " Courage", and the lyrics are full of power:
"Love really needs courage to face gossip." The circle, now back again, sang the same song with different flavors, making countless fans cry on the spot.
Her experience makes people sigh; her attitude towards life makes people sigh even more: What is the difference between women who can sing "Courage"?
From a small town girl to a treasure girl, she grew up overnight
Liang Jingru, who was born in a small Malaysian town, has a kind of "newborn calf not afraid of tigers" in her bones.
When she was a child, she often took her father to participate in singing competitions and calligraphy competitions.
The transformation happened at the age of 18.
Liang Jingru and her classmates participated in the local folk song writing competition and won the third place. The singing was recorded on the CD. Coincidentally, this CD was heard by the "Godfather of Music" Li Zongsheng .
Liang Jingru's sound of nature amazed Li Zongsheng, and immediately decided to listen to her audition and sign a contract with her.
"Would you like to go outside with me to develop?"
Facing Li Zongsheng's invitation, Liang Jingru nodded without saying a word.
This is the first time she has left the town. The young and energetic girl is full of curiosity about the world of flowers and a heart full of courage, looking forward to opportunities.
However, this courage was quickly slapped by reality. The new album "Growing Up Overnight", which took three years to release, had to cancel all promotions because of the earthquake. In the album
, there is the song "Rainbow" written for her by Mayday Ashin , and the help of Li Zongsheng, Liang Bojun, Guangliang , etc., but the response was mediocre in the end.
got a bad start. Liang Jingru was very sad. This was the first time in her life that she encountered such a big setback.
also during this period, she understood the meaning of "courage".
Later, Liang Jingru fell in love, and the other party was far away from her. The difficulties and obstacles of a long-distance relationship made her discover that courage is a necessity in both love and life.
So, an album called "Courage" came into being.
's title song "Courage" was selected as the ending song for the two dramas "The Heroine Climbing the Heavens Pass" and "The Hibiscus Out of Water". With the popularity of the TV series, the song is also highly sung.
Liang Jingru became the spokesperson of "Courage", and countless boys and girls hummed this song and rushed to love.
But Liang Jingru's first long-distance relationship ended without a hitch. The other party was Guan Qiyuan, a music producer. When they broke up, he wrote a song "Accept" to Liang Jingru. One of the lyrics of
is particularly moving: We all accept that it must be that each other is not mature enough to be important in love.
Liang Jingru's heart was hit hard, and she was out of breath crying. This love inspired her to be brave and taught her to grow.
Later, she fell in love with Mayday bassist Martha . When
performed on the same stage, the love in Liang Jingru's eyes could not be concealed, and she liked to express her love through singing frequently.
It's a pity that this relationship didn't come to an end.
lost love twice, and her father passed away due to nasopharyngeal cancer , Liang Jingru's "newborn calf is not afraid of tigers" is shrouded in a heavy sorrow.
lingering sorrow, Liang Jingru "grown up overnight" and lost her former momentum.
After going through the vicissitudes of life, she has the courage to "break when it breaks"
"Courage" is well-known, Liang Jingru keeps releasing new albums, each one sells better, pushing her to the high stage of "Four Little Queens", and Jolin Tsai , Stefanie Sun , Xiao Yaxuan are equally famous.
She's getting more and more popular, but it's hard to feel that pure, unadulterated happiness anymore.
's godfather Li Zongsheng found that the girl who used to sing freely has changed, adding a lot of sorrow, which greatly reduced her courage.
When Liang Jingru was the saddest, she once showed Li Zongsheng a painting she had drawn and told him: "I really want to go home."
is also a singer, Li Zongsheng understood her pain deeply, so he responded: "You go, Find the purest self who loves singing the most."
Liang Jingru went home, tried and found it, but that self has become so far away.
Until one person appeared in her life: wine merchant Zhao Yuan with .
They like the same jazz player and have similar musical tastes. His tenderness, consideration and care made Liang Jingru a little girl again.
In 2009, Zhao Yuantong proposed to Liang Jingru with a diamond ring in hand. He held three grand weddings in a row, and his married life was full of tenderness and sweetness.
To Liang Jingru, Zhao Yuantong is like "a long drought meets nectar".
However, the growth experience from different worlds still makes this relationship gradually diverge.
Zhao Yuantong grew up in the West, while Liang Jingru is an authentic town girl, and the two have very different lifestyles.
A few years after their marriage, Liang Jingru was still immersed in the joy of being a wife and a mother, and at the same time busy promoting her new album, but photos of Zhao Yuantong's derailment leaked online.
Facing a real hammer, Liang Jingru insisted on completing the work while helping her husband to smooth things out, expressing that she completely believed in him.
But anyone can see that she is trying to be brave. At
's new album sharing meeting in 2019, she shed tears while singing.
"Mr. Zhao and I have signed the divorce agreement ."
It is said that before the official announcement of the divorce, Liang Jingru deliberately poured half a glass of red wine before going on stage.
Frustration, unwillingness, grievance, pain... Liang Jingru, who is nearly 40 years old, wants to hide these emotions decentlyhide.
For this reason, she was addicted to alcohol and brought it with her almost every meeting; she became sensitive, and when she sang a lyric, she suspected that the lyricist knew her inner secret.
But in the end, it's all in vain.
You should see the light or you should see it, and you should put it down.
After the depression period after divorce, Liang Jingru finally figured out the way forward for this relationship.
When a reporter asked her: "Are you and your ex-husband still friends?"
She said decisively, "No." People you once loved can't be friends either.
This is her own attitude to draw an end to this relationship, and it is also a kind of bravery after going through the vicissitudes of life.
No matter how painful the present is, first try to say goodbye to the past and choose a better future.
Love really needs courage to face
The white horse has gone through the gaps. Liang Jingru, who used to be ignorant of world affairs and would cry when singing love songs, has also experienced vicissitudes.
Li Zongsheng, who loves her, once said: "I hope you will never experience so much."
But now, she has also experienced world events. Although I have lost the energy of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", it is not so easy to shed tears when singing sad songs again.
Compared with the unrestrained bravery she used to be, she has more indifference after years of precipitation.
To this day, some people still compare her to Jolin Tsai as her peers, and feel that she has nothing special, and always sings love songs indifferently.
competed for the Golden Melody Award in 20 years. She was nominated for 6 times, and all of them fell off the list.
But so what?
She told herself: I am very, very disappointed and sad, but I will not give up easily, cry a lot and continue to rush!
recently missed the Golden Melody Award. She posted a draft acceptance speech full of people she imagined she should thank after winning the award.
Yellow is her lucky color, but it doesn't bring good luck. She laughed at herself: although luck didn't fulfill her wish, thank you to my nobles who have come along the way.
Whether she is sad or lost, she no longer hides it. I don't want to suppress my desire to win awards in order to save face.
If it doesn't work this time, keep working hard; if you fail today, you will fight again tomorrow!
This kind of bravery from the heart comes from affirming all of myself: no matter what happens, I firmly believe that I deserve better and that I can get what I want.
Just like when she was just divorced, she was depressed for many days, but thanks to the company of a psychiatrist, family and friends, she managed to recover. When
got through the worst pain, nothing can beat her.
Now she seems to have returned to the period of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers".
She loves fitness, often partying, and has a vibrant attitude to life. Although she is over 40 years old, she still looks like a girl.
During the epidemic, her favorite thing to do is to sing to netizens in the live broadcast room. She sang a lot of classic old songs: Happy breaking up , unfortunately it's not you, Nuan Nuan...
is the only one who rarely sings "courage".
This may be because: she no longer needs to use this song to cheer herself up.
When the inner courage has been beaten by wind and rain and deeply rooted, it will become a kind of bravery after the passage of time and the precipitation of time.
The girl who had to rely on alcohol to anesthetize herself when she announced her divorce can now admit frankly: When the marriage was the most difficult, I would cry whatever I did.
is not afraid of losing face or showing his cowardice, and accepts all his emotions calmly. Isn't this more advanced bravery?
She finally lived to become a powerful woman "without fear of gossip". When all the unbearable and broken are healed by time, the once young and hot head finally became the ability to love herself.
