Are you ready? Xiaoqi is coming to "Hey Bar" again...
People have many dreams in their lives,
We are busy pursuing our dreams every day!
On the road to pursuing dreams, no one will have smooth sailing, and it will always be full of troubles of one kind or another.
When I am tired, I will always habitually turn off the lights, put on my headphones, and listen to his songs in the dark night!
He said that in the wind and rain, this pain is nothing. Wipe away the tears and don't ask why...
Sometimes tears will be shed when listening.
Listening to his songs, I recall his experience!
I always ask myself:
"Compared with him, what reason do you have for not working hard?"
Such a passage in the Bible:
When God closes this door, he will definitely open another door for you... âŠ
And the singerâs experience so far can change this sentence to:
âGod closed one door for him, but opened many doors for him!â
The singerâs name is â Zheng Zhihua ", that song is called "Sailor"!
html In the early 1990s, the "Four Heavenly Kings" were just "emerging"!Zheng Zhihua, who uses crutches, has already appeared on the "CCTV Spring Festival Gala Stage"!
The song "Sailor" made Zheng Zhihua popular all over the country!
has great glory for a while!
What outsiders see is his "scenery", but they cannot imagine that Zheng Zhihua, who has been "disabled due to illness since he was 3 years old", has reached this point and endured many hardships that "ordinary people" cannot bear!
01.
God closed a door for him
Zheng Zhihua was born in 1961 in an ordinary family in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, China.
His arrival did not seem to add anything worth being happy about to this ordinary family.
When his mother was pregnant with him, his brother, who was a few years older than him, "died".
"The fortune teller said that he killed his brother."
then gave him the name "Zhihua", which is the Buddhist word for it.
The fortune teller said that "this name can subdue his rebellious spirit."
Zheng Zhihua's body was very healthy when he was born.
htmlWhen he was 3 years old, he suddenly developed a high fever. Because the family conditions were not good and there were many children, his parents were busy making money to support the family and could not watch him every day, so the illness was delayed.The fever caused polio and the bones were damaged. The doctor said: "This child may not be able to stand up for the rest of his life"!
This shocking bad news has "added insult to injury" to this ordinary family!
My parents blame themselves very much, but what happened has already happened. No matter how much they blame themselves, there is nothing they can do except try their best to make things right.
Since then, his parents have been looking for a way to heal his legs.
Finally,
after repeated surgical treatments, he finally stood up with crutches. He was already 7 years old that year.
Physical defects made Zheng Zhihua withdrawn and irritable. In addition to attending classes at school, he just sat in the classroom and watched his classmates playing outside.
You can imagine the pain!
Maybe itâs because he really has nothing else to do, and because he is smart, his grades have been very good since he was a child.
In the past few years when his father treated him, he had a lot of contact with doctors. After seeing that his grades were not bad, he persuaded him to develop his career as a doctor in the future.
But after graduating from high school, he did not follow the path planned by his father, but chose to apply for the "Civil Engineering" department of Taipei Polytechnic College.
because "he wanted to do something that would leave something behind." When
was in school, he fell in love with a girl-Ayuan.
Ayuan also gradually fell in love with him.
But due to the disparity in the family and his physical defects,
the woman's parents were firmly opposed.
two people finally chose to face reality.
Zheng Zhihua was in so much pain that he thought of committing suicide.
At that time, he even wrote a suicide note,
which he later turned into a song, "Don't Cry, My Favorite Person"
Don't Cry, My Favorite Person,
Tonight I bloom like an epiphyllum,
Withering at the most beautiful moment,
withering that cannot be restored by your tears,
...
But after the grief, Zheng Zhihua,
thought about his parents,
thought about "he has not left anything in this world."
"I don't have a "game life" yet, how can I leave like this!"
02.
The first door God opened for him
After graduating from school, Zheng Zhihua worked in a construction company.
After their parents learned about it, they were very happy. They felt that they could finally feel relieved.
When they grow old, Zheng Zhihua can at least support himself.
He worked comfortably like this for 8 months, repeating the same job every day. Zheng Zhihua began to feel more and more that this was not the life he wanted.
He felt that this was not the " game world " he wanted.
So, he resigned.
There are too many worries and the future is too far away.
Why don't you accompany me to play the world of debauchery!
- Excerpted from Zheng Zhihua's "Game World"
God opened another door for him
After resigning, Zheng Zhihua's life was not good. He was worried about the lack of a fixed income and was confused about what to do in the future. .
But he never regretted it!
By chance, he fell in love with the "advertising video" industry.
Although he had never been exposed to this industry before, he still went there resolutely.
He just started applying for jobs in "advertising" everywhere, but the reality was always so cruel.
The recruiter always rejects him for one reason or another.
But he wonât give up on something heâs determined for!
Finally, his persistence and enthusiasm impressed the recruiter.
When Zheng Zhihua first joined the company, he discovered that the advertising industry was not as simple as he imagined.
This industry requires rich professional knowledge and unlimited creativity and imagination.
Although this line of work is not easy, since he has chosen it, he will stick to it.
So, he began to crazily supplement his professional knowledge. Maybe he was really talented.
It didnât take long for him to start to âmake a name for himselfâ in the âadvertising industryâ!
Since then, his unbridled creativity has always continued, and his colleagues all call Zheng Zhihua a genius in the "advertising industry"!
God began to open a door for him again, but at first Zheng Zhihua was not very willing to walk through this door!
At that time, he never thought that one day he would enter the "singer" industry.
But things are so wonderful!
Later, he produced an advertising song called "For Happy Girls" for a "shampoo" company.
A random move began to change Zheng Zhihua's life trajectory!
But who knew that this advertising song would be sung by people one after another. The owner of
record company "Gui Mingyu" found Zheng Zhihua.
He invited Zheng Zhihua to come to his company to be a "singer"!
His first reaction when he heard it was "impossible".
The first reason is that he only has a partial understanding of "music". The second reason is that at that time, he had already established a career in the advertising industry. The third reason is that being a singer is not his favorite industry.
He rejected "Gui Mingyu"'s kindness!
Gui Mingyu replied to him, "You don't have to rush to answer me. You can think about it again and answer me after you think about it. I'll wait for your news."
In fact, after that incident, Zheng Zhihua simply forgot about it.
On his way home from get off work one day, Zheng Zhihua overheard several children humming "Bo Dad Bo Ma Bo Ge An Jie Boer Tea".
This was the slogan he wrote for "Bol Tea", and his heart began to ripple.
He decided to find "Gui Mingyu" to give it a try!
His colleagues didnât know where they knew his thoughts, so they began to âtauntâ him secretly. Zheng Zhihua became âvery angryâ after hearing this!
Donât you think itâs impossible for me to make it? I still have to make it
for you to see. This time, Zheng Zhihua made up his mind even more.
In anger, he found a colleague and made a "ten-year bet"
He vowed not to make a penny from advertising within ten years, but to rely entirely on his own creations to create a world in the music world.
He resolutely resigned and went to find "Gui Mingyu".
He started preparing to "play the world" again, but this time he was somewhat "reluctant" and "angry"!
03.
In 1988, Zheng Zhihua officially debuted with the release of his first album " The Story of the youngest member ". He was already 27 years old at that time.
At this age, he is not too young to enter the circle of "singers".
later released two albums, "Single Escape" and "Fallen Angel".
This time, Zheng Zhihua gained some fame.
But when he really started to become popular, we still have to say that he sang "Sailor" on the "CCTV Spring Festival Gala" in 1992.
Since then, he has become "famous" and popular all over the country.
The audience at that time not only liked listening to his songs, but were also deeply moved by his "inspirational" stories!
Later, he successively participated in some "popular" songs such as "Stars Lighting", "Snail's Home", "Face Matter", "Game World"...
and so on!
Most of Zheng Zhihua's songs are based on the life of the lower class, and then "sublimated" to gain insights and understandings.
His songs are not just songs, they are more like "philosophies" one after another.
It seems that everyone can find themselves in his singing!
According to ordinary people's thoughts, this trajectory will definitely continue to develop, but Zheng Zhihua is not an ordinary person at all!
In 1999, something no one expected happened. Zheng Zhihua announced his retirement from the "music scene" after releasing his twelfth album!
quits as soon as it says quit, without any delay!
Since then, Zheng Zhihuaâs figure has almost disappeared!
04.
I donât want to sing anymore, I just want to continue âplaying the worldâ!
After Zheng Zhihua quit the music scene, people have been speculating,
"Why did Zheng Zhihua quit the music scene?"
"Where did Zheng Zhihua go?"
"Is it because he left just after the "ten-year appointment" came? ?â
After many years, Zheng Zhihua finally gave the answer himself.
Regarding the music scene, he feels that what should be written has already been written. If he continues to stay, all that will be left will be "impurities"!
Being a singer was never the career I most wanted to do. It was just a crossover in my life.
If you donât want to write songs, you wonât write them. We donât lack this thing.
God was opening the door for him before, but "from then on he started to open the door for himself"!
After Zheng Zhihua quit the music scene, he started an "IT company";
Later, he met his lover " Zhang Yuya";
Later, they had a daughter;
Later, he started to work as a "painter" ;
...
I just want to continue "playing the world"!
Wherever I should exist, I will exist.
Looking back and thinking carefully about his life, he found that "every door" he opened was very successful!
Every time he "plays the world", it seems to be with a little persistence and hardship...
