Deng Lijun and his father Deng Shu
talk about Deng Shu, it is estimated that no one will know who he is. But if you talk about his daughter Teresa Teng, it is true that no one knows. In the palace of Chinese music, Teresa Teng is not only the name of a singer, but also a landmark figure.
In Teng Lijun's childhood, it was precisely because of Deng Shu's teaching that she could achieve such extraordinary achievements. But if you think that Deng Shu is an excellent singer or composer, then you are really wrong.
Deng Shu is an officer and a student taught by the Whampoa Military Academy.
Serious dreams
In 1921, Deng Shu was born in a small village in Handan, Hebei. The young Deng Shu, like many of his children, had parents who were farmers and had no culture, so he could only make a living by farming. But unlike many people, Deng Shu wanted to serve the motherland since he was a child, because the years when he was growing up were the most severe years in China.
He has seen the scene of selling his children in exchange for food because of the poverty of his family since he was a child, and he has also seen the scene of the destruction of the family because of the war.
Ordinary people under the war
On the contrary, under the circumstances at the time, some high-ranking officials or people with real power did not experience these human sufferings because of their superiority.
So the young Deng Shu decided to be an officer since he was young, hoping to change the dilapidated social environment through his own efforts and end the warlord melee that was in full swing at the time. With this goal, Deng Shu worked very hard to study, even during the later period of the war, he did not lay down his homework. Fortunately, Deng Shu was very hardworking and earnest, and successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy with his excellent results.
The Whampoa Military Academy during the Republic of China is no different from the current Tsinghua University and Peking University. As the top military academy in the country, many people are eager for it. Besides, because the students of the Whampoa Military Academy in the previous periods have served in various places in the military, the principal and the school leadership team are well-known figures, so the Whampoa Military Academy is the fastest ladder to climb to the military.
Whampoa Military Academy
In 1924, the Whampoa Military Academy formally admitted 350 students from 1,200 candidates as formal students. The fierce competition is evident.
But in this competitive environment, Deng Shu can successfully pass the exam, which shows his own effort and ingenuity.
Although Deng Shu was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, he became mediocre after entering the school, who stood out in such fierce competition. Z7z
Deng Shu, who was in school, originally planned to flex his muscles to learn military knowledge, but because of his mediocre aptitude, and because he did not have outstanding military talents, he became the bottom of the existence. and when Deng Shu was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, the warlord's melee situation had disappeared. At that time, China was in the era of peaceful rule, which also brought Deng Shu a big blow.
World War II broke out
Fortunately, Deng Shu did not choose to give up lightly. On the contrary, due to the outbreak of the war in 1937 during school, he had a stronger desire to protect peace.
Deng Shu joined the war again after graduation. In the end, he was made a second lieutenant because of his background and military exploits. Deng Shu, who thought that he would start his career, stayed in place after serving as a second lieutenant until he was promoted to lieutenant in 1952 and finally retired as a lieutenant.
At the end of 1948, Deng Shu moved his family to Taiwan, and because of historical factors he has been living in Taiwan.
The young diva
's days in Taiwan are still the most proud years of Deng Shu's life. There is less danger in his youth and less war in his youth.
But this kind of life cannot last forever. After retiring several times, Deng Shu asked himself what he had done in his life. If he said that he would fight, he would not fight anymore, so what else could he make a living? What skills?
Besides, although Deng Shu is nominally a retired officer, but based on the actual situation at that timeIn terms of Taiwan, there are really too many officers. Deng Shu's retirement as a lieutenant was a trivial matter under the circumstances, and Deng Shu's family remained impoverished.
Peking Opera
At this time, Deng Shu suddenly remembered that when he was a teenager, he had studied Peking Opera with the elders in the family for several years, and he invited several friends to organize a "Kang Band" to make money. And when the "Kang Band" was in full swing, Deng Shu welcomed the only daughter in the family-Deng Lijun.
Before Deng Liying came to her home, there were already three children waiting to be fed, and now with the arrival of new members, it is even worse for this impoverished family.
In desperation, Deng Shu could only use the retirement money given by the army and the money he earned from performances to open a rice shop to supplement his family of five.
is alive day by day, and little Deng Lijun also grows up day by day.
The young Teresa Teng
later found out that her father's Peking opera was very interesting, so she begged her father to teach herself to sing. The old father couldn't help her so he taught her how to use her voice.
is this teaching, teaching a queen of Chinese pop music.
When Deng Shu was teaching Deng Liying to sing, he suddenly discovered that his daughter's voice was different from ordinary people. Because he had taught his son to sing before, he knew very well what the accent that children should have at the time was.
But for Deng Shu, the singing from his daughter's voice was a real surprise. From then on, Deng Shu began to teach her daughter to learn Peking Opera, and took the time to call old friends home to teach together.
But as far as Deng Shu is concerned, he only knows the art of Peking Opera, and although he can do others, it is not very good. And as far as the current situation of her daughter is concerned, it is indeed possible to develop in many ways.
Teresa Teng
In view of the discovery of her daughter, Deng Shu gritted his teeth at the time, and even if the family was poor, he had to ask a teacher for music tutoring for his daughter.
Therefore, Deng Liying began to study music with the teacher invited by her father in her spare time, and she started singing.
In 1961, they even invited the then "Jiu San Kang Band" to guide their daughter. was also during this period of time when Teresa Teng’s name was slowly passed down as Teresa Teng among the Taiwanese population. When the identity information at the time was not certain, the family simply called Teresa Teng the only daughter in the family.
Later in 1967, Teresa Teng formally dropped out of school after discussing with her family and started her acting career. In the following years of acting career of
, Teresa Teng quickly became popular with her outstanding works and superb singing skills, and eventually became a bright star in the Chinese and Asian music scene.

In May 1990, when Teresa Teng was in full swing, his father Deng Shu died in Taiwan because of an illness. At this time, Teresa Teng was also hospitalized for acute nephritis.
Later until 1995, Teresa Teng died of illness in Thailand, ending his life story.
Life perception
In fact, throughout Deng Shu's life, he is happy. Although lived in war-torn China in his early years, he also managed to survive with his own strength. Z7z was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and realized the dream he had established since childhood. Z2z later in the war, although the war was tragic at the time, Deng Shu once again survived by virtue of his excellent strength, and later moved to Taiwan to pave a stable development path for his family. Although Deng Shu's family has gone through a period of twists and turns in his middle-aged life, this tortuous life also laid the foundation for the happiness of his later life. In his later life, he relied on his daughter Teresa Teng's fame and status to obtain a relatively peaceful old age, and ended his life in this state.
Conclusion
is for a family, andIt is more appropriate to say that family inheritance affects a person's life than a good tutor. Take Deng Shu's family as an example. It is because Teresa Teng lived under the conditions of her father Deng Shu's acting since childhood that her talents were shown and carried forward.
And for the poor Deng Shu family at the time, after discovering that his children had excellent singing talents, he did not choose to stifle the children's talents, but did his best to help her learn systematically.
always later when Teresa Teng chose to drop out of school to sing. Deng Shu also respected Teresa’s choice and did not impose any interference. This has a profound enlightenment for us.
Deng Shu and Teresa Teng
This also teaches us that we should choose to do the right thing at the right time and not choose long-term pain because of temporary gains and losses.
Moreover, we are developing in the background of the new era. Because of the lack of various tempers in the old society, many people are satisfied with the present comfort and forget the previous pain.
Deng Shu, who is still studying under difficult conditions, has also set a profound example for us. We should learn from Deng Shu’s spirit of defying difficulties and vowing to never give up until we reach our goals.
Efforts will not necessarily succeed, but if you don’t work hard, you will never succeed.
