1 A male artist who once competed with the Four Heavenly Kings
Subsequently, Ren Xianqi became popular "divine songs" with "Sad Pacific" and "Look Over the Girl Opposite".
Although today's Ren Xianqi is considered a "passed" star in the minds of young people, some people may even be unfamiliar with this name. However, at his peak, Ren Xianqi was a male artist who could compete with the Four Heavenly Kings.
At that time, Mayday was just a follower brought out by Ren Xianqi. , this man who was not particularly handsome was so popular that he played all the classic handsome boy roles.
Ren Xianqi, who was born in Changhua County, Taiwan Province, cares about his hometown very much and can still speak Wuhan dialect fluently. This hometown complex is largely influenced by his father Ren Wenxiang.
Dad Ren lived in Jiangxia District, Wuhan since he was a child. Until the changes in the 1950s, he came to Taiwan without knowing it, lived in a military village with veterans, and became a primary school teacher.
Ren Xianqi is the second eldest child in the family. He has an older sister and a younger sister. He belongs to the "Xian" generation. Ren's father, who is well-educated, gave him a name that means "Seeing the virtuous and thinking of the same ".
Dad means that he hopes that Ren Xianqi will always be humble and learn more from sages. Unfortunately, Ren Xianqi has been a naughty boy since he was a child.
Once when firecrackers were set off, Ren Xianqi blew up the electricity box in the village, causing a power outage in the whole village. Ren's father felt so guilty that he bowed and apologized to the village chief.
Ren Xianqi was made to stand next to the electric box and apologized to the passing villagers: " I'm sorry, I blew up the electric box. "
After returning home, his father picked up a stick at home and swung it at Ren Xianqi. Go, of course he will not sit still and wait for death, and run away. The father was chasing after him with a stick, and Ren Xianqi was running behind. The two of them were like a relay race, making the villagers laugh.
However, Ren Xianqi has the closest relationship with his father, and he also knows how to care for his father the most.
When Ren Xianqi was five years old, when he saw his father coming home from get off work sweating profusely, he would immediately bring a towel to wipe his father's sweat; when he was seven or eight years old, he began to take the initiative to help his parents with housework and take care of his sister.
Every winter, Dad Ren prepares some briquettes for the winter. In order to save some money, Dad Ren usually rides a tricycle to pull the briquettes himself.
Ren Xianqi follows his father and will jump down to help push the cart when it reaches an uphill or muddy road.
Once, Ren Xianqi looked at his hard-working father and couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, when I grow up, I will make a lot of money and buy a big car for my father, so that my father will not be tired from pulling briquettes!" "
Ren's father looked at his son. Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, he was also very touched: his son has finally grown up.
As a people's teacher, Ren's father is not rigid at all in his thinking and has always supported his son's preferences.
Ren Xianqi has been fond of sports since he was a child, and he has shown extraordinary talent in this area early. In order to support his son, Ren's father picked him up and took him everywhere to participate in baseball training.
When he reached adolescence, Ren Xianqi fell in love with playing guitar again, and Ren's father did not object to him forming a band at school.
As Ren Xianqi grew up, his father had always been very open-minded and supported him in exploring many new things.
2 Ren Xianqi became popular
At first, Ren Xianqi’s purpose of playing guitar was just to look cool and attract the attention of girls at the same school.
Later, Ren Xianqi really became interested in music. His family could not afford his hobby, so he used his spare time to work in a musical instrument store.
In 1990, Ren Xianqi went home excitedly and told his parents that he was going to release the album . His parents were surprised when they heard it. After all, they had never heard him play the piano and sing.
However, Ren Xianqi actually released his first album "Toward the Rainbow". The whole family was so excited that they burst into tears when they listened to the familiar voice in the record.
However, after Ren's father calmed down, he still didn't agree with his son's idea of entering the industry as an artist. In his opinion, his son is too simple and not suitable for entering a complicated circle.
In addition, he is only a primary school teacher and cannot provide more help to his son's dream. He hopes that Ren Xianqi can live a stable life like him.
But young Ren Xianqi didn't think so. He really wanted to leave the military village and see the outside world, and he also wanted to make more money to take care of his parents.
Ren Xianqi did not go well when he first debuted, until he met the "elegant person"-Teacher Xiaochong.
In 1996, Xiaochong composed a song "Heart Is Too Soft" tailor-made for him, which made him famous on both sides of the Taiwan Strait overnight. Several good songs followed, allowing him to occupy a place in the music market. When
first became popular, Ren Xianqi was a little distracted and started yelling at the staff, as if he had the attitude of a big name.
Not long after, Xiaochong stood by his side and reminded him silently: "Never forget your true heart." Only then did he gradually find his lost self.
Ren Xianqi was also very grateful to Xiao Chong. Many years later, after all of Xiao Chong's wealth was taken away by his assistant, Ren Xianqi immediately sent 1 million to Xiao Chong, hoping to help him, and the two became lifelong friends. friend.
In 1997, Ren Xianqi came to Wuhan for the first time. As soon as he arrived at Hanyang Gate, he was recognized by passers-by: " Aren't you the Ren Xianqi who sang "Heart Is Too Soft"? "
Ren Xianqi never expected that he would be so famous in Wuhan. His songs can be heard in almost every street and alley, and there are many fans rushing to get his autograph.
This made him realize that he had a large fan base in the mainland. His re-elected father lamented: ""Heart Too Soft" can sweep across China and Southeast Asia overnight. It all depends on the support of mainland audience friends. If it weren’t for them, his son would never have become famous so quickly. I really want to thank the fans in the mainland! ”
After Ren Xianqi became popular, he also made films and TV series, worked as a director and played car racing, and was too busy to spend time with his family. This also gives scammers an opportunity to take advantage.
Once, Ren's father received a phone call. The man on the phone claimed that he had kidnapped Ren Xianqi, and would not let him go unless a ransom of more than NT$500,000 (approximately less than 100,000 yuan) was given..
Father Ren, who wanted to save some money for his son, bargained with the scammer for NT$300,000. Mother Ren, who was standing by, understood that this was a scammer, so she calmly called Ren Xianqi to confirm.
Ren’s father wanted to stop him at that time, for fear that making the call would trigger retaliation from the “kidnapper”.
Afterwards, Ren Xianqi felt helpless at his father's bargaining. He joked that he would have to add a few more zeros to meet his own worth, right?
However, he also felt sorry for his father. He used to think that his father was a man of culture and would not be deceived by such tricks. Now he realizes that the easiest people for scammers to deceive are close relatives.
Especially after becoming a father, Ren Xianqi can better understand the feelings of being a parent. In order to cope with the pressure of life, he rarely spent time with his family.
It wasn’t until I saw my parents’ gray hair that I realized that some things just wait for no one. Parents and children are a spiritual practice that gradually drifts away.
After reducing his workload, Ren Xianqi's reputation is indeed not as good as before, but his modest, generous and optimistic character has accumulated a lot of popularity in the circle.
This is what Ren's father is most proud of. Ren Xianqi is very successful in life, which is the greatest affirmation of his many years of education.
In recent years, Ren Xianqi has focused mainly on making movies.
In "The Big Tree Catches the Wind", he shaved his hair into a square inch and played the role of a heinous thief king with an unshaven beard and unusual power, which gave him a sense of immersion in the character.
In 2019, the movie "Silent Witness" starring him and Yang Zi was also well received, and his acting skills have become more and more mature.
Nowadays, except for participating in necessary activities, Ren Xianqi basically does not appear in the media, leaving time for his family and racing.
He admitted that he was too busy when he was young and had no time to play. Now he wants to do something he likes, which is racing cars.
Although Xiao Qi has become Lao Qi, the memory left to us by Ren Xianqi will always be beautiful.
