The former "troika" of young composers in the new era of , Wang Min, Shi Guangnan , and Wang Liping are so talented, but when Wang Liping mentioned Wang Min, he said:
"Wang Min" It is the best and most representative of this generation"
Wang Min got married very early, and his wife Wang Xiangzhu is a Chinese stage performance artist. The two have been together for 30 years. Although Wang Min sometimes loses his temper at her, These bits and pieces eventually became Wang Xiangzhu's unforgettable memories.
In 1997, 63-year-old Wang Min passed away in Beijing due to a cerebral hemorrhage. His wife was unable to get out of grief for many years. If 25 years have passed, how is Wang Xiangzhu's living condition?
In what way does she miss her deceased husband, why is she afraid to see Li Guyi on the Spring Festival Gala?
01
Wang Min has an love for music and a childlike talent, but he was born into a very poor family, so his music road is destined to be full of thorns and ups and downs.
In the winter of 1934, Wang Min was born in a family of flower farmers on the outskirts of Shanghai, along with an older brother.
When the flowers bloom, it is the busiest time for the family. Because selling flowers is their only source of income, they rely on their father to carry the flowers to the market and sell them. There is school.
Later, my brother sold flowers with his father, so Wang Min barely managed to finish Shanghai Jiaotong Middle School. When
was studying, Wang Min came into contact with music in some singing activities, and his love for music gradually appeared, and he also began to have his own understanding of music.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "child prodigy" in the music industry, because once he really touches and learns music, his talent will be hard to stop.
In 1949, Wang Min was sent to the training class organized by the Youth Cultural and Art Troupe to learn music theory, composition and conducting. At this moment, he has just stepped into the music circle, just like a bird in the sky and a fish in the ocean, the first song he composed The song "Going to the South to Join the Army" won the first prize in the singing competition.
At this time, the teachers saw Wang Min's talent and suggested to him to take the exam of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music .
But at that time, Wang Min was unable to pass the entrance examination due to a serious illness, and his father was in poor health. In order to take care of the family, he chose to be a music teacher in a local elementary school.
During this period, whenever he received his salary, he would give most of it to his family, and almost all the rest of the money was used to buy books about music.
In order to gain a deeper understanding of music, Wang Min also found a music professor surnamed Chen, and wanted to take him as his teacher, but the three melons on his body were not enough for tuition fees.
So when Wang Min found Professor Chen, he said:
"Can you teach me music, I really like music, but I don't have any money"
Professor Chen asked him to show himself, but he got it right after he opened his mouth Acknowledging that, Professor Chen cherishes talents very much. He knew that Wang Min is a good seedling in the music industry, so he decided to teach him for free, and asked Wang Min to come to him every night at 7 o'clock.
But one day it rained a lot, and there were small ponds on the muddy road. At that time, Professor Chen thought that Wang Min would not be here today, but after about ten minutes, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Teacher, I'm late today"
's love for music reached such a level that Professor Chen almost couldn't hold back his tears.
Five years later, Wang Min re-applied for the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and finally entered the composition department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music with a perfect score of harmony.
was in the academy for another five years, during which he not only learned the theoretical knowledge taught by the school, but also taught himself folk music. At that time, as long as it was about music, Wang Min was always the first to participate, which also gave him A solid foundation for future musical styles.
In 1964, after graduation, Wang Min was assigned to the creation group of the Central Orchestra. He lived in a room of more than ten square meters and was immersed in music creation.
In 1967, 33-year-old Wang Min got married, and his wife Wang Xiangzhu was one of the earliest soprano singers in my country. After
got married, Wang Xiangzhu realized how careless Wang Min was in life.
02
Wang Min's obsession with music has reached the point of forgetting his image. He often stays in the room alone, wearing one pair of clothes and shoes for a long time. It's not that he doesn't want to change it, but that he forgot. There are only various notes in his mind.
Once, his wife Wang Xiangzhu cooked a bowl of noodles and brought it into his room as usual. She found that Wang Min's shoes had a hole in his feet, and said to him:
"When you finish creating, I will take you out. Buying a pair of shoes”
After a long time, Wang Min walked out of the room, as if he had forgotten what his wife had just said, and was still reminiscing about the music he just composed.
So Wang Xiangzhu took him to a shoe store near Wangfujing. The boss of
asked him what size shoes he was wearing, Wang Min said:
"I don't know either." To:
"You only have music in your mind, remember, you will wear size 40 shoes in the future"
Shortly after their marriage, the two separated due to work reasons.
In 1969, when Wang Xiangzhu was pregnant and giving birth, Wang Min, who was out of town, had no time to come back to see her, so Wang Xiangzhu took her mother to his side, and the two lived in a small room.
At that time, there was no video call and no convenient transportation. If Wang Min wanted to go home to see his wife, he had to wait until the Chinese New Year and a long holiday.
Until the birth of the child, Wang Xiangzhu lived with her mother.
When Wang Min came back to see them, the children felt strange to him, which made Wang Min very sad, so he wanted to return to the mother and daughter as soon as possible.
In order to dispel Wang Min's concerns, Wang Xiangzhu always wrote to him saying that he is living well now, but in fact it is not going well. This is also to allow Wang Min to calm down and concentrate on his creation.
In 1973, Wang Min composed the theme song "The Fisherman's Girl at the Beach" for the movie "Hai Xia", but due to the times, this song was hidden.
At that time, the director and producer of this film were criticized, and Wang Min was no exception, and even made him unable to create music in the future.
During that time, Wang Min always locked himself in the room, holding cigarettes one after another, his fingers were scorched by smoke, and when he couldn't sleep, he poured a glass of inferior white wine and was unhappy every day. .
Soon after, Wang Min was assigned to work in northern Jiangsu.
When his wife found out about Wang Min's current situation, she was very distressed, and she blamed herself for not being able to take care of him by her side, so she could only comfort him by writing a letter.
After a year of labor, Wang Min returned to the Central Music Group and finally met his wife, who had been separated for seven years, and the two embraced tightly.
At that time, they were still living in that ten-square-meter room, and the family of three seemed very crowded.
But there is no way, Wang Min's career has not yet ushered in a rising period, and Wang Xiangzhu has just been transferred to Beijing Film Studio as a makeup artist.
Although they are struggling now, they are considered stable, and the road ahead will be smoother and smoother.

In 1975, the movie "Hai Xia" caused great repercussions after its release, and the theme song was also very popular. Since then, Wang Min has finally ushered in the rising period of his career. In the following years of
, Wang Min created many theme songs for the film one after another.
Many of his songs have appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, like "Unforgettable Tonight" sung by Li Guyi. The " corner song " created by
transformed Zhu Mingying from a dancer to a singer, making her stand out.
However, in Wang Min's married life, he lacked a little love for his wife.
He was always passionate about creating music, ignoring the feelings of those around him.
Once, when Wang Min was creating in his room, Wang Xiangzhu cooked a bowl of hot noodles and fried a poached egg on top. When he got it next to Wang Min, he said:
"Go, go, you Interrupted my train of thought"
thought that he would be praised for his well-prepared dinner, but he pushed it away indifferently. Anyone who does something like
will feel sad. If they don't know Wang Min, they may even quarrel with him.
But the two have been married for many years. Wang Xiangzhu understands that his creation is not easy, so she brought out the hot noodles and sat on the bench to wipe her tears quietly.
After Wang Min finished his creation, he finished the bowl of noodles in three or two mouthfuls, and said to his wife:
"You still understand me"
This sentence seems to dispel the grievances in his wife's heart. A mutual understanding of marriage is the secret of their 30-year friendship.
Therefore, no matter what decision Wang Min made, Wang Xiangzhu did not ask him the reason, and was always the first to support him behind the scenes.
1987, Wang Min opened a popular music training class. He is passionate about music and wants to pass on this love to the next generation of young people.
When selecting suitable students, Wang Xiangzhu ran around for him, looking for those talented students. Among them, his most famous student, Sun Hao, was selected by Wang Xiangzhu.
After Sun Hao completed his studies, he bought a watch with one month's salary and gave it to Mr. Wang Min.
At that time, Wang Min also liked to wear watches, but his watches were all issued when he won an award, so his favorite watch was the one given to him by Sun Hao.
In 1994, when Wang Min was 60 years old, his physical condition had begun to decline, but he still liked to drink a little wine every day, which made his wife even more worried.
Because when he went to the hospital for examination, the doctor always told him to smoke less and drink less in the future.
So when he picked up the wine glass, Wang Xiangzhu grabbed it and wouldn't let him drink it, and kept saying, "The doctor said that you won't be allowed to drink, but you still drink it"
Wang Min whispered. He smiled and said:
"the last time, the last time"
In fact, it is only a little hobby when you are old, and the wife looks very disgusted on her face, but her heart is also very distressed.
At that time, Wang Min's daughter was already married and had no worries. Maybe he was worried about those students.

In the spring of 1997, Sun Hao went to visit Mr. Wang Min again with a large bag and a small bag, and said to him:
"Teacher, what do you want to eat today, I will take you there"
Wang Min usually likes to eat Sichuan cuisine, so Sun Hao I took him to a Sichuan restaurant, and Sun Hao was very happy watching the teacher eat in a big mouth.
In the summer of 1997, Wang Min's health got worse and worse, and he could only stay in the hospital almost every day. At that time, many singers visited him.
When Zhu Mingying came out of the hospital, he said:
"I cried against the wind for a long time when I came out of the hospital. I was thinking about how fragile life is, but Mr. Wang Min lived a wonderful life. He not only supported a generation of music, but also Many people like us"
At that time, Sun Hao accompanied Wang Ming in the hospital every day. In fact, he was able to have such a deep relationship with Wang Ming because when he became Wang Ming's student, Wang Ming and Wang Xiangzhu had already brought him together. Take care of it as your own child.
So now the teacher is seriously ill, and he is as sad as his relatives have left.
He would always say beside Wang Min's hospital bed:
"Teacher, wake up soon, I will take you to dye your hair, we will live beautifully"
But in December 1997, Wang Min still left and died 63 years old.
When he left, he took the watch Sun Hao gave him.
The saddest thing at that time was his wife Wang Xiangzhu. She couldn't even believe it was true and was unwilling to accept the reality.
washes her face with tears every day. When she walks into the room, she seems to see the shadow of Wang Min sitting there and creating. Whenever she hears the music he composed, she also thinks of her deceased husband.
At that time, in order to avoid seeing things and thinking about people, Wang Xiangzhu gave away all the items that Wang Min left behind during his lifetime, and did not let his family play the songs written by Wang Min.
But every year on the Spring Festival Gala, Li Guyi almost always sings "Unforgettable Tonight" on the Spring Festival Gala, and this song was composed by Wang Min. When she heard this song, she still thought of her deceased husband and couldn't help crying.
So every year on the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Xiangzhu is afraid to see Li Guyi.
Seeing that her mother is sad because she misses her father, her daughter Wang Hui always comforts her. She once said:
"Dad has been gone for so many years, he definitely doesn't want to see you like this, he must have unfinished business, you Let's help him complete it"
This sentence seems to wake up Wang Xiangzhu, instantly turning grief into strength, Wang Min's biggest dream is music.
For Wang Min's dream, Wang Xiangzhu decided to help him continue, so as to miss him in this way, it can be regarded as the last thing to do for him.
After years of hard work and running around, Wang Xiangzhu gradually got out of her sadness, and she became cheerful because of this incident.
On the evening of October 7, 2005, "The Voice of Haizhu, Unforgettable Tonight - Wang Ming's Music Works Concert" was held in Guangzhou Xinghai Concert Hall. Well-known singers such as Li Guyi and Li Suhua sang Wang Ming's music with tears on the stage. classic work.
In September 2017, CCTV Art Channel held "Salute to the Classics - Wang Min Album", Wang Xiangzhu signed the album with tears in her eyes:
"Wang Min, you are a music student, you are a music student. We love you forever. "
Up to now, Wang Min has passed away for 25 years, and Wang Xiangzhu is still on the road of music, continuing Wang Min's dream.
Now, Wang Xiangzhu is 80 years old. He has not stopped thinking about Wang Min. Her husband has been gone for 25 years, and she has no other people in her heart. She expresses her single-mindedness and nostalgia for Wang Min in her own way. If he can really see it, he will definitely be grateful to meet a wife like Wang Xiangzhu.
30 years behind the marriage, there are tears, happiness, indifference and warmth, they are not only Chaimi husband and wife, but also musical confidants, mutual understanding, mutual understanding, mutual support.
There are several 30 years in life, and Wang Xiangzhu's most precious 30 years are Wang Min who accompanied her. She once said:
"I can live with Mr. Wang Min for 30 years, I am very happy and lucky, Very content"
