In those years, Li Na because of her high-pitched voice and extremely confiding singing voice, the Chinese music scene at that time also had such a saying - "Men are like Liu Huan, and women are like Li Na."
At that time, Li Na was only 27 years old, and she had already become a diva-level singer.
It is a pity that this music legend who once sang everywhere does not seem to enjoy the fame and fortune that she has worked hard for.
In 1997, despite the dissuasion of her family, she decided to become a nun and disappeared from the public eye.
In 2000, Jiang Kun met her in monk attire in the United States and asked her why she wanted to become a monk. She said calmly: "I didn't become a monk, I just went home!"
Today, Li Na is 59 years old. Accompanied by green lanterns and ancient Buddhas, although she does not have the aura of a star, this kind of life is what she wants most.

At that time, the group asked Li Qiong to participate in the 10th Youth Song Competition, and only gave 10 days to prepare. In a hurry, Li Qiong chose "Shipman's Chant".
Li Qiong sang this song well, but due to the unexpected "hat incident", did not even enter the semi-finals.

In recent years, although Xu Huaiyu has participated in several variety shows, her figure has been out of shape and her career has not improved.

No. 10, Zhang Dongliang (41 years old)
Zhang Dongliang initially entered the singing industry to help his family pay off debts.
In the Kuala Lumpur singing competition, he won the championship with his cover of Zhou Chuanxiong 's "Twilight".

After leaving the entertainment industry, he went to study abroad. However, in 2018, he suddenly made a comeback and held a concert.
After many years of comeback, apart from playing some "emotional cards", Zhang Dongliang can no longer keep up with the development of the entertainment industry.
After this concert, he disappeared again. Now he can only perform in some shopping malls.
No. 11, Fang Datong (39 years old)
The Chinese music scene in 2005 can be described as a fight between gods.
However, Fang Datong left his voice in the minds of the audience with his song "Spring Breeze Blows".
In 2008, Fang Datong, who had been debuting for three years, released his first album " Orange Moon ". The song " Three People's Tour " became a hit, and he was also considered a musical genius. Some people even took it He is compared with Jay Chou, Tao Zhe, and .
In the eyes of many people, Fang Datong's songs are very special. The love songs are listenable, but not heartbreaking, and always give people a sense of aftertaste.
In the 2011 "Happy Boys", many contestants invariably chose to cover Fang Datong's songs because Fang Datong was their favorite singer.
It is not difficult to find that although Fang Datong's status in the music world at that time was not as good as Jay Chou, he was definitely considered a heavyweight.
However, Fang Datong has never paid attention to these. Instead, he just plays music on his own. Stars without atmosphere are worthless in the eyes of many media.
After that, Fang Datong quietly disappeared. Although his new songs also won some awards, there was no splash in this huge entertainment circle.
Now he has turned behind the scenes, becoming a boss, and composing songs for different singers. Perhaps this kind of life is what he wants.
No. 12, Ah Sang (died at 34 years old)
7 years ago, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" became a hit, and one of the songs "Always Quiet" was also regarded as a classic by the audience.
The singer who sang this song was Ah Sang.
Asang's voice is very unique. After studying with Wang Yiping, she received systematic training.
However, on the road to becoming a singer, Asang encountered many difficulties, such as music companies refusing to sign and typhoons flooding the recording studio.
Fortunately, she did not give up. In the next four or five years, she worked as a milk tea shop assistant, telephone operator, and broadcast customer service, all for her music dream.
In 2003, she rose to prominence by singing the ending song in the idol drama " Rose Love ".
In the same year, she was successfully signed and released her first album "A Little Hurt".
Two years later, she released her second album "Loneliness Singing", which was also a sad-style song, but its sales volume was not as good as the first one.
What is even more embarrassing is that after a short period of popularity, Ah Sang fell into the situation of "people who are famous in songs are not popular".
For this reason, she moved to the mainland for development. However, at this time, she was diagnosed with lymphoma .
In 2009, Ah Sang, who had been fighting cancer for two years and debuted for only six years, finally died of illness at the age of 34.
Looking back, these singers who became famous overnight are undoubtedly outstanding. They were all popular and amazing for an era, but many of them were defeated by the sudden fame.
The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, but some people can achieve long-term success. Why?
In the opinion of Pi Ge, there are two main points. One is to maintain the original intention and work hard to develop on the professional road. The principle of "forging iron requires one's own hardness" is deep in my heart; the other is to know how to exercise restraint and always clearly understand what you need. .
Only in this way can we go far!
