In the late 1980s, there was a TV series "Miss Public Relations" that was once popular. Following it to become a classic memory, there is also the interlude - "Dedication".
Of course, there are html that sing this song.
mentioning this name will definitely bring back memories of countless people, because in those years, she not only sang "Dedication", but also won the championship of the 4th National Youth Singer TV Grand Prix in 1990, and appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage for two consecutive years in 1991 and 1992.
In 1993, she starred in the TV series "Lone Star" adapted from her own personal experience. became the first female artist in China to bring her story to the screen, and she was in the limelight for a while.
But the worst came, but she gradually faded out of people's sight, and disappeared for many years since then. People don't know where she went, nor why she suddenly disappeared at the peak of her career.
It turns out that there is really a story here.
01 Zhang Mi is a man named
Zhang Mi was born in a mountain village below , Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province. When he was a child, he had a good voice and often learned to sing with the dilapidated and ancient radio at home.
When she was fourteen years old, she went to Inner Mongolia Zhelimu League Art School alone with the 25 yuan given by her grandmother. What was embarrassing was that the school only recruited Mongolian students at that time. In less than a year, she was fired because she was not a Mongolian person.
At this time, Zhang Mi was only 15 years old and was still an ignorant girl. Helplessly, she had to cry and pack her clothes, and traveled all over the country to work as temporary workers, contract actors, and students in some literary and artistic groups.
1989, Zhang Mi was admitted to Guangzhou Song and Dance Troupe with her outstanding singing skills. At first, she was also discriminated against here because she could not speak Cantonese, nor could she sing Cantonese song , so she had no source of income for a long time.
But her talent and hard work are gradually noticed. When "Public Relations Miss", the music editor found her and asked her to sing the theme song and ending song. Who would have thought that this would make audiences across the country know her. Her songs began to be sung across the country and quickly established a "first" position in the Guangdong music scene.
02 The competition incident
There have been rumors in the market that Zhang Mi had a quarrel over competing with another famous singer from Northeast China, Mao Ning, . In order to vent her anger, Zhang Mi's boyfriend also beat Mao Ning. Due to the bad influence, Zhang Mi was directly banned.
's story is so vivid that it is said that in 1992, Zhang Mi was going to attend the 1993 CCTV New Year's Day Gala performance, and found someone in advance to write a song specifically for herself, called "Blue Night, Blue Dream", which was included in 's own album "Detailed Talks From the Start" and was preparing to sing it at the New Year's Day Gala. What she didn't expect was that Mao Ning actually snatched the song and sang it to the top, becoming Mao Ning's second masterpiece besides " The Sound of the Waves Still ".
Zhang Mi felt very unhappy. When she saw Mao Ning, she mentioned this matter and argued a few words. The two left unhappily.
Later, he participated in the same performance again. Zhang Mi saw Mao Ning in the backstage and said hello. Unexpectedly, Mao Ning said impatiently, "I don't want to talk to you, you are a fool."
Zhang Mi was very angry. In anger, she called her boyfriend Guo Dawei and fought Mao Ning in the dressing room.
There are rumors that Zhang Mi slapped Mao Ning at the time.
No matter what, the impact of this incident was too bad. All performance contracts of Zhang Mi were returned, all songs and images were stopped broadcast, and while 's reputation plummeted, his acting career was also hit hard.
Zhang Mi has thus become the first female artist to be banned in the entertainment industry.
Since 1994, Zhang Mi chose to go abroad and began to travel to Spain, Italy, France, the United States, Monaco and other places. This has been going for 5 years.
You should know that these 5 years are a golden period for singers. If you miss these 5 years, it will be difficult for Zhang Mi to return to her former glory.
03 The road to transformation
5 years later, that is, in 1999, Zhang Mi signed with Taiwan’s Power Records Company and began to try to make a comeback.
In April 2000, Zhang Mi tried to transform and worked with fashion designer Liu Yang as a model. In September, she signed a contract with the New Silk Road Model Company and officially became a professional model.
's move made Zhang Mi set another record, becoming the number one person in the Chinese entertainment industry who has entered the modeling field from a singer.
For many years since then, Zhang Mi's acting career has been smooth sailing. Not only has she become a contracted artist of the European EMI Music Publishing Company, but she has also won the reputation of being a pioneer in the Chinese pop music scene, a double queen across the pop music and fashion industry, and a leading figure in the Asian market.
holds two roles, being both a singer and a model. Although Zhang Mi appears to be glorious, none of the new songs she sang since then has the popularity of the past, and none of them can be liked and remembered by the majority of listeners. Many people even forget her existence at all.
04 Middle-aged cancer
On November 26, 2019, Zhang Mi posted on a social platform, "officially announced" that she had cancer, and it was in the late stage.
At this time, Zhang Mi was 54 years old. She said in the article that she never thought that the four words "latest stage of cancer" would be related to herself. She suddenly had a deeper understanding of the concept of "living towards death". "Now, I will be the greatest happiness when I see the sun rise every day. If I can challenge death and overcome death, what else can I fear in the future?"
This is just a small cold in my life...
words reveal Zhang Mi's strength, love and yearning for life. It is precisely because of this belief that it supports her indomitable struggle with the disease and establish a strong confidence to overcome the disease.
From now on, Zhang Mi often shares her life and her feelings about some things on social platforms. On June 3, 2020, she announced with a high profile that she had finally defeated the disease, "I'm back"!
On September 10 this year, she participated in a show held in Gannan County, Gansu Province as a model. In response, she also posted a special article saying that she "were reunited with the catwalk after three years of separation from her after three years of separation on the runway", and her joy and excitement were beyond words.
On October 1, 2021, Zhang Mi posted on her personal social account, " Wish the motherland forever prosperity, prosperity, peace and prosperity in the country, I love you, China ", on the one hand, expressed her blessings to the motherland, and on the other hand, she also declared to the world that she has completely overcome the disease and is living well now.
It can be seen that although Zhang Mi has experienced many misfortunes after experiencing hardships and setbacks, her heart is still extremely strong and her mentality is normal and bright, which has become the source of motivation to support her to this day.
Isn’t all this exactly what every ordinary person needs to have?
