A family of 5 and 4 nationalities, how did she become a super mom from a famous singer in China and Japan?


This article is a continuation of yesterday's article-

Before introducing her, let’s briefly talk about the other two people who are related to her.

The first is her sister, Shaw Star- Chen Yiling . The reason for moving the eldest sister out is... it's so beautiful! If you share her beauty with her younger sister, Chen Meiling's life is estimated to be even more dazzling.


Chen Yiling participated in the film "Span Brothers _14 Span" in 1968. In 1970, he signed a contract with the Shaw Film Company of Hong Kong, participated in many film performances, and also made several TV series.

In 1971, she went to Japan to study and studied performance at Toho Academy of Arts.

As a singer, Chen Yiling has previously published several albums such as "Who Can Pass My Heart for Me" in Hong Kong Lifeng Records. After going to Japan, although he also signed a contract with Warner Pioneer Records to publish singles such as "Evening in Love", "Peeling the Petals", and "Rose's Oath", the sales were not good.


In 1972, her younger sister Chen Meiling also went to Japan to sign with Warner. Chen Yiling focused on supporting her younger sister's career and retreated behind the scenes. After her younger sister became popular, she returned to Hong Kong to become a TV producer and then went to study in Canada. Chen Yiling was married in 1978 and now lives in Hong Kong. She is a happy housewife.

is also born of a mother,This is a bit favoritism. But God is still very fair. Although I gave my sister the beauty, she gave her a beautiful singing voice! The natural good voice brought Chen Meiling a series of good luck afterwards.


The other person could have not introduced it, but not only mainlanders, but even Hong Kong listeners are often confused, and even Baidu is confused and confused. So I think it is necessary to mention it.

There are two female singers with the same name and surname in the Hong Kong music scene. Their names are pronounced the same, and they are all called Chen Meiling (Ling), with only one word difference.

The two singers debut time is not far apart, causing many misunderstandings. Sometimes Japanese fans travel all the way to Hong Kong to join in, only to find that Chen Meiling is not her idol on the stage.

This Hong Kong female singer is called Chen Meiling and she has a lot of acting experience before. In early 1978, he released his first solo album. Her voice is deep and deep, and her singing skills are solid. In the theme song of the same name in the Hong Kong movie "Night Train", she used her singing to portray the tragic ending of a group of marginalized youths to a sigh.

Similarly, in the era when Japanese cover songs were popular in Hong Kong, Chen Meiling also covered many similar songs. The song "Everything of Tomorrow", friends who are familiar with Cui Taijing and Fei Xiang must be familiar with this melody.

Alright, now we officially start the heroine time, to introduce this famous singer in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the mainland-Chen Meiling.


Chen Meiling, Han nationality. Born in Hong Kong, China on August 20, 1955. His father is from Dongguan and his mother is from Guizhou. The old couple has 6 children in total,Chen Meiling is the fourth oldest among siblings. The two older sisters above her not only look more beautiful than her, but also have excellent academic performance. This made young Chen Meiling very unconfident.

She has been a girl who loves to laugh since she was a child, and Xiao Huya adds playfulness and cuteness to her. She likes to sing since junior high school, holding a big guitar to play and sing, and whenever she has a chance, she will perform everywhere. People are very rare about this little girl.

In the 1970s, Hong Kong, where the cultural industry was gradually emerging, was full of scouts and brokers. After a long time, some people naturally noticed this lively and lovely little Nizi who sang well.

When she was 14 years old, that is, in 1971, she and her elder sister Chen Yiling, who is already a Shaw Brothers star, recorded "The Circle Game" composed by American singer Joni Mitchell. She did not expect to be popular with Hong Kong audiences! Immediately, a scout came to visit and wanted to take her on her debut. Chen Meiling began to step into the entertainment circle with one foot.

Sister Chen Yiling's contribution to her younger sister is indispensable

Hold her waist tightly, and career will rise


1972 recommended

_p2 The two sisters participated in the films "Young People" and "Rebellion" directed by Zhang Che. Chen Meiling played a young and lively girl, which was very eye-catching. Once the film was released, she also became popular in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Thailand. The English-language records recorded in Hong Kong were also very popular. So far, Chen Meiling has stepped into the show business with both feet!

The cultural exchanges between Japan and Hong Kong in the 1970s were very frequent.

In 1972, Chen Meiling was invited by the famous Japanese singer and composer Masaki Hirao to record "Poppy Flower" in Japan. In one fell swoop, she won the Japanese Folk Song Award, and Chen Meiling became popular with her unique soprano singing method and loli image! After that, they crossed the oceans and became popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places. This song also opened the prelude to Chen Meiling's popularity in the Japanese music scene.

The Japanese teenagers at the time were immediately attracted by the pure Chen Meiling.

In 1973, Chen Meiling won the Japan Record Award Newcomer Award for "Grassland Glory". With her clear voice, cute appearance, and new, crappy and interesting performance in Japanese, she became a popular idol!


The word "fairy" means compliment in Japanese and can be translated as angel or fairy

As a foreign singer from 1973 to 1975, she attended the Japanese Red and White Songs for three consecutive years (equivalent to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala) ). Often took turns on the cover of Japanese idol magazines with Baihui Yamaguchi and Teresa Teng. This Hong Kong girl who likes to show her little tiger teeth and grinning, with her youthful and invincible appearance and high and clear singing voice, completely conquered the picky Japanese audience.

Chen Meiling has neither nor Ouyang Feifei sexy and hot,There is no such thing as Weng Qianyu's good looks, or Teresa's dignified atmosphere. Her natural appearance makes her have to follow the loli type to survive. Every time I watch her performance, the typhoon also deliberately moves in this direction.

But her innocent and lovely singing voice contains infinite internal power. There is a video where she and Weng Qianyu sang "Pray". At the end of the video, her vital capacity is almost as big as Hong Kong's "Huge Lung Song" Zhen Ni !

In 1976, Chen Meiling, who was just 21 years old, was already a hot star, but suddenly announced her temporary retirement and went to Canada to study child psychology at the University of Toronto. When the news came out, the fans were in an uproar, and the agent in Japan was also angry enough.

This idea has been around for a long time.

In the days when Zhongxing Pengyue, I was surrounded by busy announcements every day, either recording in the studio, or participating in endless commercial shooting, variety shows, and touring performances. I didn’t have time to enrich myself. I wanted to do it every time I returned to my residence. There is only one thing to do-sleep.

The father who came to Japan to visit his daughter met his beloved daughter who was tired from work and reminded her: fame, wealth and wealth will flow away with time, and only knowledge is what immortalizes in your mind!

My father hoped that she would finish her studies and temporarily put down her floating name and leave her no regrets.

In this way, the good girl Chen Meiling, who is at the peak of her career, listened to her father's determination to let go of everything she already had, and went to Toronto to specialize in social and child psychology.

itself is like the child's Chen Meiling studying child psychology, which is also reasonable. What she didn't know was that it was this choice that sowed the seeds for her to send her three sons, including herself, to Stanford University in the United States in the future.

In 1978, Chen Meiling returned to the show business after finishing her studies! This time she got rid of people's inherent impression of "Sweet Little Sister". Although she was still the old laughing girl, she transformed into a mature modern woman in terms of packaging and style.

At the end of 1978, she returned to Hong Kong and released her first Cantonese album "Carnation in the Rain".

The Hong Kong entertainment record company she signed with seized the opportunity to unite with the best songwriters at the time, such as , Gu Jiahui, Lu Guozhan, Au Jinbao, etc., to create this important album for Chen Meiling that made her popular in Xiangjiang again. !

Hong Kong Music, whose style is completely different from that of Japanese music, has re-acquainted people with Chen Meiling! This album is almost the first golden song, and the sales are very impressive!

In 1981, Chen Meiling switched to China Star Records and released the album "The Spell of Love". The title song "Spell of Love" is available in Japanese and Chinese respectively. The Chinese version is also written by Chen Meiling himself. This song has a unique style and a unique style, and it is also the most impressive masterpiece of our mainland listeners.

In 1982, Chen Meiling encountered another masterpiece! "Lijiang Song" is the theme song of TVB's outsourced TV series "Marco Polo". The lyrics are timeless and the melody is beautiful. After being performed by Chen Meiling with a soft and unique high pitch, she once again swept Hong Kong.

1983 was the best year for Chen Meiling's music career. "May you stay drunk" was selected for the first Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Melody Awards.

Chen Meiling's singing soon crossed the Guangdong area and reached the ears of mainland audiences. In 1984, at the invitation of CCTV , Chen Meiling participated in the National Day party that year.

The three golden songs "If", "Wild Pastoral" and "Poppy Flower" were broadcasted and immediately caused a huge sensation in China! Let the Chinese who have been immersed in Zhang Mingmin "My Chinese Heart" for more than half a year, for the first time to hear the works of such a unique Hong Kong female singer. Compared with the song of Xi Xiulan in the spring evening of 1984, Chen Meiling's singing and stage image are more in line with the tastes of young people.

Chen Meiling's ending is particularly distinctive. Her vibrato frequency is very fast, similar to Sun Nan's vibrato singing method. This way of vibrato is difficult to practice. Without a certain talent, you can't achieve the perfect singing effect. If you don't get it right, you will change to a sheep's voice.

Her vocal range is wide, her timbre is high and not sharp, although there are some baby sounds, but it is by no means babble, very unique. In the 1980s, Hong Kong female singers Bao Cuiwei and Zhang Delan are also baby voices. They have a different flavor. We will introduce those two in detail in the future.

Zhang Delan who participated in the 1988 Spring Festival Gala


In 1985, she held three charity performances for the Soong Ching Ling Foundation in Beijing Capital Gymnasium, with the performance of "The Return of the Swallow" as a charity concert first name,It expresses her innocent heart of falling leaves back to the roots.

After marriage, Chen Meiling gradually faded out of the music scene, reducing record recording. I moved to Canada with her husband, and gave birth to the eldest son Heping there. According to the local nationality system, the eldest son is Canadian.

As a mother, Chen Meiling enjoys this kind of stable life very much. She began to participate in charity activities and recorded many nursery rhymes.

Chen Meiling’s book was not read for nothing,Doctor of Education is not covered either. This optimistic, strong, well-educated mother of the singer, with her extraordinary perseverance, sent her three sons to Stanford University where she had studied!

Be pampered with one another, and happiness can't be added.

The happy family gave Chen Meiling a strong backing. This super mom who has produced three excellent sons, her singing career is no longer the only one. She has published many books based on her personal experience.
