Speaking of Zhou Huajian , I am afraid no one does not know that he is a superstar in the Chinese music scene and has many popular songs.
For example: "Swords Like Dreams" sings the passion and romance of the martial arts world;
"The Hard Sutra" is the theme song of the 98 version of "Dragon Babu", with a touch of Zen charm;
" "Laughter in the Rivers and Lakes" is magnificent and unrestrained, making people unforgettable for a long time.
In addition, there are "Friends", "True Heroes", "All Lovers in the World", "Kiss My Baby"... It can be said that they are the first classics, and you will never tire of listening to them.
But some time ago, Zhou Huajian and his wife suffered a cyber attack .
A photo of Zhou Huajian and his wife Kang Cuilan (English name: Constance) was posted online. Netizens made complaints as soon as they saw it, saying that Zhou Huajian has black hair and is energetic. He looks like he is in his 40s, while Kang Cuilan is full of youth. White hair.
Two people standing together don't look like a couple at all, but more like a mother and son.
In fact, , this is not the first time that Kang Cuilan has been complained about by the outside world.
As early as more than 30 years ago when Zhou Huajian first became famous, many fans defended Zhou Huajian, saying that Kang Cuilan was not good enough for him, and asked Zhou Huajian to divorce quickly and marry another beautiful wife.
But Huajian Zhou has always loved his wife deeply. The two of them got married in 1986 and have spent 38 years together. There have never been any scandals about Huajian Zhou, and the relationship between the two is very good.
Why is Zhou Huajian so affectionate to such a seemingly ordinary woman? What have they experienced together?
Today, we will talk about the love story of superstar Zhou Huajian.
On December 22, 1960, Stephen Chow was born in an ordinary family in Sai Kung, Hong Kong. His parents made a living by running a rice shop.
Since the business of Midian was up and down, and the Zhou family had a large number of people, Zhou Huajian had three brothers and one sister, so Zhou Huajian had lived a tight life since he was a child.
Even though he lived a very hard life, Zhou Huajian grew up in happiness, because his parents loved their children very much, and Zhou Huajian also had a very good relationship with his brothers and sisters. .
When Zhou Huajian was a child, he actually did not show much musical talent. Later, after he became famous, some reporters went to interview his former neighbors. The neighbors said that they did not expect that Zhou Huajian would become a big singer in the future.
Until When Zhou Huajian was 14 years old, his third brother gave Zhou Huajian a guitar, and Zhou Huajian's life changed from then on.
Zhou Huajian knew nothing about the guitar and had little feeling for music, but he stroked the guitar and soon fell in love with the feeling of plucking the strings.
Just like that, Zhou Huajian fell in love with the guitar and also fell in love with the music. He and the guitar were inseparable, holding the guitar in his arms every day and practicing crazily.
It was at that time that the young Zhou Huajian established an ideal: I will become a singer in the future.
But maybe because he spent too much time on music, Zhou Huajian's academic performance was not good. In 1978, 18-year-old Chow Huajian took part in Hong Kong's Higher Education Entrance Examination (equivalent to the Mainland's College Entrance Examination), but unfortunately failed.
Under the persuasion of his parents, Zhou Huajian decided to repeat his studies for a year, but even if he repeated his studies, he still couldn't let go of his favorite music.
Also in 1978, Zhou Huajian and several friends formed a band called "dusty", participated in the second "Amateur Singing Talent Competition" organized by Hong Kong TVB, and won the championship in the folk song and pop song chorus group.
At the age of 18, Chow Huajian won the first award in his music career, as well as a bonus of 4,000 Hong Kong dollars and six months of free singing training.
But he focused all his energy on music, so naturally he couldn't keep up with his studies. In 1979, Zhou Huajian's second entrance examination ended in failure again..
At that time, everyone in his family felt that there was no future in playing music and that he had to study hard to get ahead, so they persuaded Zhou Huajian to give up music and focus on his studies.
Under the persuasion of his family, Zhou Huajian also felt that he would be "ruined" if he continued like this.
So he decided to "change his mind". First, he cut off the long nails he had grown for playing guitar, and then decided to go to Taiwan to study, start over in a new place, and improve his studies.
But Zhou Huajian may not have expected that it was after going to Taiwan that his music career took off and he became a household name.
What makes him even more lucky is that in Taiwan, he met his lifelong partner.
In 1979, 19-year-old Zhou Huajian went to Taiwan to study. He first studied in the preparatory class of Overseas Chinese University for three years (equivalent to a cram school), and finally was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of National Taiwan University in 1982.
After being admitted to college, Zhou Huajian finally breathed a sigh of relief. From failing to being admitted to college, he had worked hard for so long and finally lived up to his family's expectations.
The Taiwanese campus at that time had a very strong literary and artistic atmosphere, and people often played guitar and sang on the school grass.
Zhou Huajian, who entered the school for the first time, was also infected by this atmosphere. He unconsciously picked up the guitar again and started singing .
It can be said that Zhou Huajian is still very talented in music. Even though he has not touched the guitar for several years, he only practiced a little for a few weeks and all the previous feelings came back.
During that time, Zhou Huajian often played guitar and sang on the school lawn. After singing for a while, a large group of classmates would gather around and listen to his performance quietly.
Here, there is a senior brother of Zhou Huajian. He likes to listen to Zhou Huajian singing. Seeing that Zhou Huajian is so talented, he asked Zhou Huajian: "Do you want to go to Shilin Folk Song Western Restaurant to perform?"
Shilin Folk Song Western Restaurant is It was a very famous restaurant in Taiwan at that time. In addition to its delicious food, its biggest feature was that there would be singers performing there every night.
Many famous singers, such as Qi Yu, Pan Yueyun and Xin Xiaoqi, have performed in that restaurant.
When Zhou Huajian heard his senior brother's invitation, he immediately agreed, because Zhou Huajian's family was not rich. Zhou Huajian's college education had already cost his family a lot of money, and he wanted to make some money to help support his family.
Moreover, he can also sing and perform on stage to show off his musical talent, which really kills two birds with one stone.
In 1982, at the age of 22, Zhou Huajian began performing at Shilin Folk Song Western Restaurant.
It can be said that gold will shine wherever it is.
Zhou Huajian only performed on it for more than a year. A record company owner came to have dinner. After hearing Zhou Huajian's performance, he was full of praise and asked Zhou Huajian directly: "Do you want to release a record?"
Zhou Huajian was frightened and immediately agreed.
With the help of this boss, Zhou Huajian released his first single "Who Ever Said" in 1984; in 1985, he released his first solo album "The Last Waltz".
Zhou Huajian is very happy, feels that he can finally realize his dream of being a singer .
For his first album, he went to different radio stations, television stations, and newspapers every day, carefully promoting his album like a salesman.
But Zhou Huajian never expected that before his album was released, his record company would close down due to poor management, and the album "Last Waltz" would not be officially released.
At this time, Zhou Huajian was about to graduate from college. His job was not settled, and his dream of being a singer was shattered. He had no choice but to return to Shilin Folk Song Western Restaurant and continue performing.
At that time, Zhou Huajian was actually a little discouraged. He even thought that he could only do this for the rest of his life and just be a restaurant singer.
But he never imagined that his love and career would come soon.
One day in 1985, Zhou Huajian was singing in the restaurant as usual, when suddenly a group of foreign students came down.
Zhou Huajian didn’t pay much attention and continued to perform.
But he accidentally discovered that among this group of foreign students, there was a little girl who was particularly fascinated by his performance and even stood up several times to applaud and cheer for Zhou Huajian.
Zhou Huajian was very happy because he had been performing in the restaurant for so many years, and most people just came to eat and did not seriously appreciate his performance, so he also noticed this foreign girl.
After the performance, the little girl went backstage and talked specifically with Zhou Huajian. She said in less than standard Chinese: " you are doing a great thing ."
The two had a brief chat, and Zhou Huajian was You know, this little girl’s name is Constance, her Chinese name is Kang Cuilan. She is an international student who came to Taiwan to study. She happened to come to the restaurant for dinner with her classmates today.
Kang Cuilan comes from an artistic family, and her father is also an artist, so when she listened to Zhou Huajian's performance, she was immediately attracted and couldn't help but cheer.
Zhou Huajian was very happy and invited Kang Cuilan to watch his performances more often. This was just a polite word. He often said this to his friends before, but few friends would actually come to watch his performances.
Unexpectedly, in the following days, Kang Cuilan would go to Shilin Western Restaurant every day to watch Zhou Huajian's performance. She was very immersed in watching the show, applauding from time to time, and turning the restaurant into a fan meeting.
In this way, Zhou Huajian and Kang Cuilan gradually became familiar with each other. The two of them talked more and more, and they also discovered that they had many things in common with each other.
They were born in the same year, the same month and the same day. They both like music. They both left their hometowns to study in another place. They are both unfamiliar with the place and miss their hometown. They have a feeling of sympathy for each other.
The relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and they soon established a relationship and became boyfriend and girlfriend. In 1986, the two officially got married, less than a year after they met.
At that time, both of them had just graduated from college and had little money. Zhou Huajian was working as a singer in a restaurant and his income was also very meager.
The two of them simply received the certificate and didn't even have the money to treat their relatives and friends to a meal, let alone decorate a new house.
They lived in a shabby rented apartment. The apartment didn't even have a bed, so the two of them slept on the floor.
Kang Cuilan didn't care about this. She was very satisfied when she was with the person she loved.
For this reason, she, who had lived a comfortable life since she was a child, also tried to cook her own dishes. Because Zhou Huajian was not used to Western food, she also tried to cook Chinese food and learned to eat with chopsticks.
Zhou Huajian felt very guilty and vowed that he must work hard and be kind to only Kang Cuilan in his life, because only Kang Cuilan was willing to marry a poor boy like him, and he must not let Kang Cuilan down.
At this time, Zhou Huajian's career also ushered in a turning point.
One day he was performing in a restaurant, and a middle-aged man with a beard came over and asked him: "Are you interested in joining Rolling Stone Records?"
This person was Li Zongsheng, who was the record director of Rolling Stone at the time.
The opportunity was right in front of him, but Zhou Huajian hesitated for a long time.
Because Zhou Huajian was not well-known, Li Zongsheng just asked him to try being an assistant first. To put it bluntly, he was just a handyman, and he might not really be able to be a singer, and the assistant's income was also very low.
I have a low income and may not be able to sing yet, but I am closer to my music dream. How should I choose?
Zhou Huajian went home to discuss with Kang Cuilan. Kang Cuilan said without saying a word: "You should pursue your dream. I am at home."
So Zhou Huajian joined Rolling Stone Records, and Kang Cuilan took on the important task of supporting the family. She would do it every day I went to work as an English teacher at a local university and also worked as a tutor at night.
Later, Kang Cuilan found a job in a large company, and her income stabilized, but she still worked part-time as an English teacher at night, just to earn more income.
From 1986 to 1987, as a record assistant, Zhou Huajian worked more behind the scenes.
He composed two love songs "Fear" and "Love in the Afterlife" for singer Zhang Taotao. Later, under the introduction of Qi Qin, he met producer Chen Yang and began singing advertising songs.
During that time, Zhou Huajian's income was very little and his work pressure was very high. Kang Cuilan was supporting his family.
There were several times when Zhou Huajian couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to give up. Kang Cuilan encouraged him to persist and continue his dream.
In 1987, Zhou Huajian finally ushered in a turning point. He released his first album "The Direction of the Heart", and the sales suddenly exceeded 200,000 copies.
Singer Zhou Huajian finally ushered in a big breakout, and he soon became a hot star.

At this time, Zhou Huajian was already a superstar. He performed everywhere, held concerts, acted in movies, recorded albums, and participated in album activities.
But he never expected that his beloved wife would suffer a heavy blow at this time .
It turns out that after Zhou Huajian became famous, Kang Cuilan was dug out by the media. When fans saw that the wife of the king superstar was so ordinary, they became very angry and started various attacks on Kang Cuilan.

Kang Cuilan could only resign and recuperate at home. As an introvert by nature, she lost weight rapidly, had more gray hair, and became emotionally unstable.

Until one day, Zhou Huajian received a call from Kang Cuilan. Kang Cuilan said that she wanted a divorce. Zhou Huajian was shocked.
He hurried home, and only when Kang Cuilan cried did he know what had happened. He felt very guilty that he had not protected his wife well, let alone given her enough care.
He decided to take the initiative to reduce his work and spend more time with his wife, so that his wife would no longer be hurt .
After that, Zhou Huajian basically didn't work for more than a year and just played with Kang Cuilan everywhere;
