Zhou Huajian was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong in 1960, with 5 brothers and sisters in the family. Zhou Huajian has loved music since he was a child. When he was 17 years old, he participated in a radio singing competition and won a prize of HK$4,000 and a 6-month free singing training.
By chance, the famous musician Lee Zongsheng listened to Zhou Huajian's song and thought he was a talented person, so he invited him to join Rolling Stone Records. However, after joining the Rolling Stones, Zhou Huajian's life was not satisfactory. In the company, he is nominally a music assistant, but in fact he is just a chore. Not only does he have a low income, but the company also has no intention of cultivating him as a key singer. Just at the lowest point in Zhou Huajian's life, he met an American girl, and thus began a foreign relationship that changed the direction of his life.
This girl is called Kang Cilan . She has a pair of "electric eyes" like Lin Guan Zhilin , and her slim figure is sexy and charming. She holds a dual degree in Spanish literature and arts and works in a Taiwanese company. Once, Kang Cuilan came to Shilin Folk Songs Western Restaurant to listen to music, and was suddenly moved by Zhou Huajian's handsome appearance and beautiful singing. Kang Cuilan loves Chinese culture, and in her eyes, Zhou Huajian, who sings Chinese songs, is simply a ready-made product of Chinese culture. When Zhou Huajian finished singing "The Successor of the Dragon", Kang Cuilan walked up boldly and gave him a bouquet of flowers.
The passionate Kang Cuilan took the initiative to date Zhou Huajian the next day. When Zhou Huajian learned that Kang Cuilan was born on the same month and on the same day, he felt that he had an innate fate with her. But thinking of his slim future and being a poor boy with no name, Zhou Huajian was very inferior. He told Kang Cuilan that he had not finished his college degree and was preparing to take the path of singing, but his career was not going well, and he didn't know whether he should stick to it. Kang Cuilan said: "What you do is a great cause. Don't care what others say. If you stick to it, you will succeed."
That drizzling night, it was midnight when Zhou Huajian finished singing and walked out of the karaoke hall. He was in a daze towards the vast rain and fog. At this time, Kang Cuilan walked out of nowhere and handed him an umbrella in her hand: "I'm tired, go home quickly." Zhou Huajian told her that he didn't want to go home yet, so the two of them held an umbrella together and walked through the vast rain and fog to a cafe. In the graceful music, they tell the past of youth, and Kang Cilan's cheerful and optimistic personality infected Zhou Huajian.
Kang Cuilan brought Zhou Huajian a completely different feeling. She always gave Zhou Huajian the right encouragement at the right time. For a man whose career is at a low point, this encouragement is precious.
1986, after more than a year of love, Zhou Huajian and Kang Cuilan decided to get married despite the opposition of their families and financial difficulties. And the night before the wedding, Zhou Huajian was still singing in the karaoke hall. Halfway through the singing, he suddenly remembered that he would get married tomorrow, so he hurried to the boss to advance his salary, and then ran to the clothing store downstairs to buy a suit and a tie.
The next day, Zhou Huajian and Kang Cuilan held a simple wedding in the rented small room. Without a wedding dress, no banquet, and no photos, Kang Cilan wore the HK$10 ring that Zhou Huajian bought for her and gave her life to this poor boy who was obsessed with music. He only spent HK$300 for the entire wedding. On the wedding night, Zhou Huajian hugged his wife: "I'm sorry, I'm very poor. You have to endure hardships with me in the future." Kang Cuilan's eyes were wet: "Even if you are always poor, I will be with you for the rest of my life."
After marriage, Zhou Huajian has been paying rent on Kang Cuilan's salary. The old apartment they rented did not have a decent piece of furniture, and the couple slept on the floor at night. Every night, Kang Chulan would rush to the karaoke bar to pick up Zhou Huajian from get off work. Late in the middle of winter, the couple walked hand in hand on the cold street. The cold wind blew their faces. Zhou Huajian took care of his wife's hair that was chaotic by the wind, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion: "You have suffered with me.""Kang Cuilan grabbed her husband's hand tightly: "If you love each other, you will be happy to suffer hardships. "
This scene is always frozen in Zhou Huajian's memory. Many years have passed, and when he recalls the days when he suffered with his wife together, his heart will surge in infinite warmth and happiness. For this reason, Zhou Huajian wrote a song with passion to dedicate it to his wife, named "Happiness of Suffering Together": "Every time when love goes to a dead end / the past will hug us / Although sometimes the times encounter ups and downs / at least we still have the happiness of suffering together..."
1987, a record company boss admired Zhou Huajian very much and released his first solo album "The Last Waltz". On the day the album was launched, Kang Zilan ran to the audio store and bought more than ten copies and took them home. Zhou Huajian was puzzled: "Why do you want to buy it? I'll just go to the company to get some for you. "Kang Cilan told her husband: "That's different. If I go to buy it myself, others will think that even foreigners like to listen to your songs, which proves that you are very popular. I haven't spoken in the audio store, and no one knows that I am your wife. ”
However, due to lack of publicity and the lack of fame in Zhou Huajian, this album sold very badly. In 1989, Rolling Stone Records created his first solo album "The Direction of the Heart", which established his position in the music industry. Especially in the early 1990s, Zhou Huajian became very popular with the two songs "Make Me Happy and Me Worry" and " Fragrant ". He began the busiest time of his life, with endless concerts, filming movies, and making records every year. In the busiest years, he stayed at home for less than half a month a year. At that time, he thought about Jacky Cheung more than his wife and children, and he was thinking about how to surpass Jacky Cheung.
At that time, for Zhou Huajian, career was everything. He often thought about how to make his career better. He did not care about the feelings of his family and did not care about his wife's hard work of taking care of his two children alone. At a concert, Zhou Huajian accidentally fell on the stage. His first reaction was that he could not let the fans be distracted, and he had to go on stage quickly. At that time, he saw his wife so scared that he covered her face with both hands in the audience, and he couldn't have time to comfort her. After the performance, Kang Cuilan was still in fear, but still did not receive a word of comfort from her husband. She said to Zhou Huajian: "I hope you are still the poor boy from the past, not a star who was very popular. "
In 1999, a Taiwanese media broke the rumors of Zhou Huajian's extramarital affair and secretly took photos of him entering and leaving a hotel with a girl. Kang Cuilan originally believed that her husband was innocent, but the waves of public opinion from the outside world cast a shadow on her heart. Zhou Huajian, who was busy with his career, had no time to go home to communicate with his wife, and only said to her lightly on the phone: "Don't believe the rumors outside. "
And at this time, fans often called her to ask when she would divorce Zhou Huajian. This series of changes made Kang Cuilan overwhelmed. She suffered from depression, had insomnia all night, and her hair fell off.
In order to resolve the marriage crisis, Zhou Huajian accompanied his wife to see a psychologist and asked a marriage counselor to communicate with her. Kang Cuilan's knot in her heart finally slowly untied. She finally understood that her husband's heart did not go far, but that he was too busy and tired, ignoring the worries and reluctance of his family to him.
13 years ago, when Zhou Huajian married Kang Cuilan, the two had not registered for various reasons. In order to dispel his wife's doubts, a few days later, Zhou Huajian and his wife went to the Household Affairs Office in Shilin District, Taipei to officially complete the marriage procedures, which made the rumors from the outside world self-defeated.
with the marriage certificate, Kang Cuilan looked happy. She told Zhou Huajian that she seemed to have married again and her heart was beating very hard. Looking at his wife's innocent and cute appearance, Zhou Huajian promised again: "You will always be the only woman in my life. ”
Although Zhou Huajian must sing "Flower Heart" every time he performs, he is definitely not the kind of flirtatious radish in life.Time flies, and the "big brother next door" Zhou Huajian has become a "man next door" without realizing it, but what remains unchanged is his easy-going smile and kind behavior, his natural and funny and easy-to-treat style, and his loyal and affectionate feelings for his wife.
The entertainment industry is a colorful world, full of temptations everywhere. In the 20 years since its debut, Zhou Huajian has been keeping himself clean. In fact, Zhou Huajian is always going through the test. He often has infatuated female fans following him, writing him a hot courtship letter, and saying to him explicitly, "I love you" on the phone. Every time, Zhou Huajian would tell them bluntly that he had a wife and children and that their family was living a happy life. He also sincerely told the female fans that he was as perfect as they imagined, that they just saw the dazzling halo shrouded on his head, and that he also had many shortcomings in life.
2000, when a friend of Zhou Huajian finally became popular after years of hard work, he turned around and his family was broken. Seeing the pain of his friends, Zhou Huajian's heart was deeply shocked. He suddenly had a new understanding of life: "For a man, career is important, but in the long river of life, no matter how brilliant a career is, it is a passing cloud. Only a happy marriage and a happy family are the most precious wealth in life. If a career is successful at the cost of the broken family, it is not worth the loss." After
, Zhou Huajian slowed down his career and spent most of his time staying at home to accompany his wife and children. He taught his children to sing, play the piano, tutored their homework, and took care of them in life. It was not until this time that Zhou Huajian deeply realized the hardships of his wife taking care of the family alone. Especially when she is a foreigner, she does not understand China's education methods and often conflicts with the education methods her children receive at home, so she is often "bullied" by her children at home and almost driven crazy by her two children.
When Zhou Huajian was at home, his two babies who "make him happy and make him worry" "bully" their mother again. When there is a conflict with her, Zhou Huajian will mediate from it. Two years passed in a flash. During this period, many fans wrote letters and called Zhou Huajian, asking him why he had faded out of the music industry? They eagerly wanted to hear his new songs and watch his concerts, and Zhou Huajian's heart often felt moved and lost. Kang Cuilan understood her husband and sincerely advised him to return to the music scene. She reminded her husband that when he was busy with his career, he could also take care of his family properly.
In 2006, Zhou Huajian came to Beijing again to hold a solo concert, and his wife and children also accompanied him. Three days before the performance, Zhou Huajian walked into CCTV to record an interview program and talked about his American wife and children. His love was deep and his eyes were wet. Kang Cilan, who was standing in front of the TV, also burst into tears.
Now, Zhou Huajian and his wife have been married for 33 years, their relationship has always been stable, and their family has always been harmonious. In the entertainment industry where the divorce rate is high, they are recognized as loving couples. Career is temporary, love and marriage are eternal. Zhou Huajian deeply understands the true meaning of marriage.
