"Fine wine and coffee, I only want one cup. Thinking of the past, I drank a second cup." I believe everyone is familiar with this song " Fine wine and coffee ",

This song is sung as the famous song of Teresa Teng It is very popular and has been covered by other singers. Different singers sing in different styles.

Among them, the one that is most recognized by the audience and sounds most like Teresa Teng is the and Gao Shengmei version.

As a singer, Gao Shengmei's works are of course not only covers. She has released 59 albums and sung more than 600 songs, making her a well-deserved prolific singer.

Because of her superior voice and sweet singing, she was once called "the next Teresa Teng" . She also became Qiong Yao's female singer and sang the theme song of "The Legend of White Snake".

During her peak period, Gao Shengmei was indeed considered by the audience to be second only to Teresa Teng. However, more than thirty years later, Gao Shengmei not only failed to join Teresa Teng's class, her music career also plummeted, and she is still alone at the age of 53.

Why was no one interested in the former queen of sweet songs? What has Gao Shengmei experienced? What is her current situation?

On January 27, 1969, Gao Shengmei was born in an aboriginal family in tw province. Her parents did not show any concern for her arrival. Very happy, on the contrary, the faces of Gao Shengmei's parents were filled with sadness all day long.

Because their family is very poor, Gao Shengmei's father does not receive Aboriginal subsidies because he is half Han Chinese. The only source of income is his meager salary as a policeman.

Before Gao Shengmei was born, the family already had three children. The birth of Gao Shengmei undoubtedly made the burden on the family heavier.

Gao's father's salary as a policeman is very limited, and Gao's mother is trapped in housework and cannot go out to work, so the family's life is very difficult.

Before Gao Shengmei was five years old, the family did not even have a fixed residence. Gao's father took his children to rent houses everywhere. It was not until the police arranged a dormitory for them that the family had a more stable life, without having to drag the family from one rental house to another.

Although the housing problem has been solved, their family is still not rich. Gao Shengmei has grown up watching her parents worry about money. These children have one idea in their hearts: , they must make money early so that their parents can pay less. Erchou, I want to make more money to make my family's life better.

But how can a few children make money if they can’t carry their shoulders or lift their hands?

Gao Qianping, Gao Shengmei's sister, found her own advantage - her voice when she grew up. After leaving her hometown, she used her musical talent to become a singer, earning a considerable income.

Gao Shengmei is the youngest child in the family, but she also has a heart to share the worries for her parents. Seeing that her sister has become famous in TW City and can supplement the family, Gao Shengmei can't help but start to yearn for it, and she also has a desire in her little heart Singer dream.

Fortunately, she seems to be more talented than her sister. When she was eight years old, Gao Shengmei won third place in a singing competition.

This made her more confident in herself. From then on, Gao Shengmei Decision: should follow the music path that my sister has walked, and work harder to make it less difficult for my parents.

After graduating from middle school, Gao Shengmei did not choose to continue studying, but went to the city to find her sister. She told Gao Qianping that she also wanted to be a singer.

Gao Qianping saw that she had a good voice and was very talented, so she taught her some professional knowledge. Gao Qianping Shengmei learned quickly and couldn't wait to make a mark.

In 1982, she applied for a China Television singing training class as a student, studied vocal music harder, and looked for opportunities to make money.

On the road to learning music, Gao Shengmei also met a group of friends who also loved music. One friend wanted to sign with a record company but was timid, so Gao Shengmei accompanied him to audition. In 1985, Gao Shengmei accompanied her friend Together they came to Shanghua Records , which completely changed her destiny.

Gao Shengmei is a thousand-mile horse in music. On this day, she met Lu Yanqing, the talent who appreciated her.

Lu Yanqing is the owner of a record company. He has promoted many rising stars in the music industry and has a high reputation in the music industry. People like

not only have the ability to create stars, but also have the ability to explore stars. During the audition, he was stunned when he heard Gao Shengmei's voice:

has such a sweet and pure voice. At that time, Teresa Teng had become the most popular female singer with her sweet singing voice. Looking at this girl with outstanding appearance and sweet voice, Lu Yanqing had only one hunch in her mind: She would definitely become popular because she had the same style as Teresa Teng, and said Maybe she will be more famous than Teresa Teng.

Gao Shengmei only accompanied her friends to the interview at first, and was not prepared that she would be chosen. What surprised her was that Lu Yanqing seemed to be quite interested in her.

After learning about her situation, Lu Yanqing began to persuade her to sign a contract: " You are a very talented girl. If you cannot take the path of music in the end, your talent will be wasted. Our company is the best path you can take. Please trust my vision and judgment and just sing well. That's fine, I guarantee you will become famous, even more successful than your sister, and make a lot of money to support the family."

These words immediately touched Gao Shengmei's heart. She felt that it was a good thing to be appreciated by the record company, so she did not hesitate to Without hesitation, he signed a contract with Shangge Records and became one of the earliest artists of the company. In the early days of

, both Shangge and Gao Shengmei needed to use their works to gain fame, so the company decided to support Gao Shengmei and tailor-made her first album - "Yuan". Although

did not become an instant hit, Gao Shengmei's fresh and sweet Her voice impressed the audience and she quickly found her niche and style.

The company understands that if a singer wants to be popular, he must have a good work. If the quality cannot be guaranteed, then the quantity must be increased first.

In order to allow Gao Shengmeiduo to compose songs, the company put forward a very attractive condition: as long as you release a record, no matter how well it sells, the company will pay you NT$100,000.

16-year-old Gao Shengmei was really moved. The money was enough for her family to live carefree for a long time. For the NT$100,000, Gao Shengmei began to create frequently.

Since then, she has released new music works every year, and has successively released albums such as "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Slow Sound". Gao Shengmei's fame is growing, and she has even become popular abroad.

It is also because of her popularity abroad Gao Gao Shengmei entered the domestic media's field of vision and began to have the opportunity to appear on programs to promote herself.

The next year she released the album "Mountain Love Song", which quickly exceeded one million sales and became a legend in the music world at that time. Gao Shengmei's management company said proudly and regretfully: "What's hateful is that there are too many pirated records. If there were no piracy, we could sell more."

Gao Shengmei did not slack off after that. She was still very diligent in composing songs. The album "Seagulls Fly Where Colorful Clouds Fly" published in 1989 sold 600,000 copies. It is the number one record sales in mainland China.

This album also brought Gao Shengmei into Qiong Yao's field of vision. Qiong Yao felt that Gao Shengmei's songs matched the creative concept of her TV series, so she began to try to cooperate with Gao Shengmei and let her sing the theme song of her TV series. The cooperation with

was very successful. Gao Shengmei used her strength to become the female singer of Qiong Yao. She sang songs such as "Wangfu Cliff", "Green River Grass", " A Thousand Years of Waiting ", etc. The music and plot cooperated with each other, and the TV series was played a lot As time went by, Gao Shengmei became more famous.

At her peak, Gao Shengmei's music always maintained a tender and sweet style, so she was called "Little Teresa Teng" by the audience.

Everyone hoped that this new star in the music industry would achieve great musical achievements, but Gao Shengmei herself seemed to have a career in music. She is not strong-willed, she just works hard to create, and gets 100,000 yuan to send to her family after publishing a record. After making money, she first settles down her family,

and then transfers her boyfriend, who was originally a chef, to be her manager. Enjoyed all the conveniences brought by fame and fortune.

But this kind of life did not last long. Soon Gao Shengmei found herself being tricked by the agency:

When she first signed the contract, she was only 16 years old and knew nothing. She heard that she could get 100,000 yuan for releasing a record. She worked hard to create, and now she found that she had released dozens of albums, but only received the creative fees promised by the company, but not the royalties.

She felt it was unfair and raised objections, but the company had no idea of ​​sharing with her. The two parties decided to terminate the contract after discussing to no avail.

After leaving the record company, Gao Shengmei went downhill. Her works and exposure were not as good as before. She was gradually forgotten in the fiercely competitive music scene. She also broke up with her original boyfriend, and her income and fame fell to the bottom.

In order to make money, Gao Shengmei stopped releasing new albums and chose to participate in commercial performances. She performed everywhere, relying on the memories and feelings of the audience to gain a sense of presence. She is still "walking" to this day.

It is not without reason that Gao Shengmei chose this path. It is said that her appearance fee for a performance is as high as 200,000, and she earns a lot of money from commercial performances alone in a year. However, in sharp contrast to her huge wealth, Gao Shengmei’s personal life is very lonely. After

broke up with her ex, she did not continue to be in love. Now, at the age of 53, she is still living a single life without getting married.

Gao Shengmei said that she did not get married so that she could serve her elderly mother more conveniently. Her current situation is deplorable. It is important to honor your mother, but after all, people have to live for themselves.

In the end, Gao Shengmei failed to become a queen or become the next Teresa Teng. She was just Gao Shengmei herself. Maybe to her, family and destination were not important, and the past glory was not worth remembering. The most important thing is that she once had it, life It is an experience, and the most precious thing is just the memories.
