01 Family poverty
Chen Xiaochun was born in a very poor family in 1967. It is said that his grandfather was sold to a village in Huiyang, Guangdong. In my father's generation, it hasn't changed much.
Both parents rely on work to support the family. Later, after several children were born, the mother had to stay at home to take care of the children, and the whole family relied on the father to earn money on the construction site. Chen Xiaochun is the eldest at home, and there is a younger brother and 2 younger sisters behind him.
When Chen Xiaochun was a little older and able to take care of her younger siblings, her mother went to a nearby restaurant to wash dishes and do odd jobs while taking care of the children at home.
Dad worked very hard on the construction site every day. He was very tired when he returned home, and he basically didn't talk much. He had a good meal and went to bed early. Because I have to get up at four o'clock the next day to go to work. The children were also asked to keep quiet and not to disturb their father. At that time, the
family lived in small houses in slums called cage houses by the locals. Various smells and noises make it difficult for Chen Xiaochun to fall asleep every night.
At that time, although Chen Xiaochun was a little older, he was still a child. The family asked him to stay to take care of his younger siblings. He still ran out often and occasionally got into trouble. Once, Mom and Dad were really angry. To prevent him from running out again, they chained him to the house.
Chen's father is more grumpy, and often loses his temper at Chen Xiaochun, the eldest son. The neighbors are all used to it. When the temper is up, no one cares about it, so as not to draw his father's anger on him.
Chen Xiaochun’s father and Chen Xiaochun’s couple
every winter and summer vacation, Chen Xiaochun will be taken back to his hometown by his father to work, planting rice seedlings, cutting rice, cattle herding and other farming work, he has done. At that time, Chen Xiaochun was small, with a yellowish face and thin muscles. He needed physical strength to do those farm work. He fainted several times while working.
But he knows that his father's work is even more tiring than this, and he always clenched his teeth when he was sensible since childhood. His father also thinks that children nowadays are happier than when they were young. At least don't go hungry.
So early, Chen Xiaochun will do a lot of work to make money.
02 Construction site
When Chen Xiaochun was 13 years old, he dropped out of school as soon as he was in the first year of junior high school and started working on the construction site where his father worked. Because he is relatively young and can't do heavy physical work, but the child is diligent and sensible, his father's workers take care of him, picking some light work such as marking lines, passing empty buckets and other tasks to him. But no matter what work was entrusted to him, Chen Xiaochun was very serious and worked hard to do it. Gradually everyone fell in love with this kid for them.
When the work on the site is almost completed, the master of the decoration team entered. Chen Xiaochun, who had seen reinforced concrete before, showed great interest in these work of laying floors and painting walls. After all, compared with the work on construction sites before, decoration is much easier for a child.
So he followed those people back and forth, and soon Chen Xiaochun learned how to lay the floor, and he did what they did well. The contractor just needs manpower, so he told Chen Xiaochun, come here to work, and you can get a salary of 300 Hong Kong dollars a month.
really? Chen Xiaochun's music is broken.
With this money, Chen Xiaochun can rent a better cabin instead of living in a cage like that.
So after receiving the first month's salary, he rented a room with better conditions, which improved the living conditions of the whole family. Because I am very grateful and cherish this job, Chen Xiaochun is more serious than anyone else. The first step in laying the floor is to wire up. Many experienced people can visually inspect and simply draw the problem. But the novice Chen Xiaochun was very serious, knelt on the ground with Chang Chi, earnestly drawing every line.
In the second step, you need to use an electric drill to make a hole in the ground.Chen Xiaochun said that this job is very difficult, and he is not so hard. But Chen Xiaochun kept gritting her teeth and needed to do her best to make a good hole. The third step of
was even more difficult for him. At that time, the floors were mostly rough semi-finished products, and each floor had notches that interlocked with each other. When laying, each floor had to be adjusted and checked. After every day, Chen Xiaochun, who was still a child, had many thorns in her immature hands.
Every night the mother picks up the thorns in her hands for her son under the lamp, crying while looking for them, watching other children still go to school carefree, mother is very unhappy. But there is no way, the children do not go to work, they have no money to rent such a house, and they have to go back to the cage house.
Even this kind of work is not always available. Four months later, the decoration team here finished work and Chen Xiaochun lost his job.
He had to start looking for work again. He was still a child at that time, and although he was very clever and hard to promote himself, he was always rejected.
This made the whole family panic. Without the previous income, it suddenly felt a lot worse.
03 Touched his bottom line
Finally one day, a food stall owner couldn't stand Chen Xiaochun's soft and hard froth, and agreed to let him try. The probation period was one month, and there was no wages. He was only provided with a place to stay in a warehouse. Chen Xiaochun went to bed every night, and was bitten by mosquitoes. During this month, he worked almost 16 hours a day, doing chores, cutting vegetables, washing vegetables, mopping the floor, etc.
One day the chef asked him to carry a pot to another place. The impatient Chen Xiaochun saw that the pot was not steaming, and it would be cold from now on. Unexpectedly, it was filled with hot oil, and he was caught off guard by the splashing oil and scalded a large blister. The next day, he endured to continue working.
persisted in this way, after a month of trial period, the boss finally agreed to use him. 300 yuan a month. Chen Xiaochun was very happy, but the good times did not last long. One day, a table of guests came and found a fly in the dishes Chen Xiaochun served to the guests. The customer did not forgive and found the boss. The boss found Chen Xiaochun viciously, and slapped him twice when he came up, and scolded him for being blind. In front of everyone, let Chen Xiaochun eat the flies in the guests' dishes for a simple reason. Since he thinks the guests can eat it, he must first eat it. It is okay for
to make him suffer, but Chen Xiaochun can no longer stand such humiliation, which has already touched his bottom line. Chen Xiaochun immediately yelled at the boss. The boss and everyone who was scolded were there, and immediately packed his luggage. Chen Xiaochun left.
Leaving the restaurant and walking on the street alone, Chen Xiaochun immediately felt the pressure on his body. He felt that life was too difficult.
But it has to go on. After several rounds, he found a part-time job in a barber shop called "Blue Square". In the beginning, it was to receive guests, run errands, and didn't even let you wash your hair. Slowly get acquainted, you can wash your hair for the guests.
Chen Xiaochun said that there are still many rules in this industry. If you don't understand, you will often make some mistakes. For example, there is no room for cleaning outside, cleaning up the hair of the guests, and sweeping from the outside into the shop. The area around him is like this, although he doesn't understand the meaning, he has to learn how to do it slowly.
About two years later, Chen Xiaochun is usually easy to learn, and gradually he can give some customers who are not demanding a haircut. Little by little, he realized a little way, and he was a barber in the shop.
04 The dancer selected by Alan Tam,
, received a young guest one day, and learned from the chat that he would go to the radio station's dance student class for an interview. Chen Xiaochun was very interested. He was envious of seeing Michael Jackson and others dancing on TV since he was a child. He always imagined that one day, he would have the opportunity to show his dance on the screen.
Chen Xiaochun took this opportunity. He asked where and when to take the test, and decided to try it himself, even though he didn't really know what to do.
took a leave of absence the next day. He came to the place where the radio station enrolled. He was a little discouraged when he got there, because seeing that everyone else has a professional dance foundation, it seems that he is the only layman. There is no way, if it comes, it will be safe. The interview teacher asked him about his situation, and did not ask him too much, just let him learn some movements, and then jumped out according to his own understanding. When
jumped halfway, the teacher interrupted him and said it was okay. Chen Xiaochun thought this was over, it seemed that he was completely out of play.
did not expect the teacher to say, congratulations, you have been admitted first. It may be that the teacher took a fancy to his physical fitness and musical rhythm, coupled with his special appearance, in short, the teacher thinks that he is a good kid who learns to dance.
works in TVB and can earn 700 yuan a month. So Chen Xiaochun quit her job in the barbershop when she returned, and came to TVB and became a dancer.
From then on, Chen Xiaochun's life can be regarded as a sigh of relief, although it is also very tortuous, but with his own efforts, he has won more and more people's recognition.
later he became the dancer selected by Alan Tan, and then he gave dances to celebrities such as Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Lin Yilian.
later at a concert celebration by Lin Yilian, there was a link that required everyone to perform a show. When Chen Xiaochun arrived, everyone thought he would dance a dance, but unexpectedly, he sang a song by Alan Tan called "Flowers in the Water". Z3z
was moved by Lin Yilian who sang so well, she was amazed at how well this backing dancer sang.
05 Breaking out of difficulties
Chen Xiaochun was reacquainted with the wish of his nobleman, Star Factory. In the future,
formed the song and dance group "Feng Huo Hai". Later, through this wish, Chen Xiaochun starred in the pheasant in "Young and Dangerous".
The role of the pheasant was originally assigned to Takeshi Kaneshiro, but Chen Xiaochun didn't know at that time, he made a wish to say whether he could play a role, because the other two members of Fenghuohai participated in this series of movies.
wishing is actually a personal affection, and it is enough to recommend Chen Xiaochun to play a role.
After Chen Xiaochun arrived on the crew, because he had seen this comic before, others asked him who he thought he could play, and he said that I prefer the role of pheasant. They told him that the pheasant was their tentative Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Chen Xiaochun said that he would give himself another role.
He didn't know how he decided to play at the end, it might be that Takeshi Kaneshiro had other arrangements. In short, after participating in "Young and Dangerous", after dancing and singing, Chen Xiaochun's performance was also liked by everyone.
later starred in "The Deer Tripod" and a series of developments such as Li Wei Xiaobao, all of which are a little logical. The hardest time in Chen Xiaochun's life has come out.
