Tengger, a grassland singer, is a household name with the song "Paradise".
looks like a rugged man on the outside, but inside he has a soft spot for the petite Teresa Teng.
His life path seems to be full of freedom and freedom, but in fact it is full of hardships and ups and downs. He was obsessed with alcohol to the point of obsession, even selling his blood in exchange for drinking.
His actions caused his wife to leave him, and his possessions were drunk by him. In the end, he drank so much that he had nothing left behind.
He used to be full of enthusiasm for the so-called "wine and meat friends", but the reality has made him see clearly who are the real friends. What's even more sad is that the loss of his six-year-old beloved daughter has become an eternal pain in his heart.
Some say that alcohol has cost Tengger dearly, while others say that alcohol has given Tengger its unique vocal charm. So, what has Tengger experienced on the road of life?
Looking back, does he regret some of the choices?
In Mongolian, "Tengger" means endless sky and symbolizes eternity, magnificence, and all things beautiful. However, since his birth, Tengger has been far from the beautiful meaning of his name.
He is lively, outspoken, and has small but bright eyes, which immediately refreshes him when he sees a book. From the first grade to the third grade, Tengger's grades in all subjects were never below the passing line, and the sound of the test papers was like thunder, but the answers handed in were always eye-catching.
Tengger is the third child in a large family, and his parents are too busy to discipline him adequately, which makes his behavior in school more and more unbridled.
After his troubled elementary school life, he successfully enrolled in a secondary school, where he continued his teenage years.
That year, Tengger, who was in the first year of junior high school, made a serious mistake because of his inadvertent speech, which caused the teacher and the principal to go out together, and his parents were shocked by this.
Since he was a child, although he often made small mistakes and was criticized for education, this time it obviously scared him.
This time, Tengger couldn't bear it and had the idea of committing suicide. He wrote a suicide note, chose a perfect place, and prepared to end his life. Fortunately, Tengger's brother showed up in time to save his life.
After this incident, Tengger completely changed, was very disgusted with school, lied and skipped class, and wandered around.
If this continues, Tengger is likely to become a "street gangster" in Inner Mongolia and achieve nothing, but fortunately, God has not abandoned Tengger. In 1975, Tengger suddenly had an idea, he went to take the entrance exam for the Inner Mongolia Academy of Arts, and with his appearance and excellent voice, he was successfully admitted.
When Tengger stepped into the art academy, he realized that it was not as easy and enjoyable as he imagined. He thought that dance classes would be his favorite, but he didn't expect to get up at five o'clock every day, and the pain and challenge of training continued to erode his body and mind.
After two months of torment, Tengger had to give up, hoping to be transferred to a less tiring class. The school did not force him to continue, so he was placed in an instrumental class.
While you can't give your body a break, you can at least give it a try**. However, it was in this process that Tengger discovered his talent.
In 1979, Tengger successfully transformed into an honor student, at this time he was quite popular in the school, and after graduation, he was directly retained to teach. Tengger was obsessed with Teresa Teng's singing, her melody was full of her head, and he even began to imagine creating a song of his own.
He was given an assignment by the school, but he didn't care, focusing on his work and taking paid time off. If he were asked to conduct the performance, he would just scramble around, looking forward to getting home from work.
Of course, Tengger was not disrespectful, as he later explained that at the time he had a vague concept of conducting, and could only wield his baton at will.
After tossing around the school for a while, Tengger was called into the office. He thought he would be criticized, but the school decided to send him to China ** College to study conducting.
After hearing this decision, Tengger felt ashamed, and he decided to resign in a fit of anger to go to university.
Tengger graduated from Tianjin ** College in 1985, and then directly entered the ** National Song and Dance Troupe. However, he not only learned ** in school, but also became a big lover of wine.
The first half of his life was inextricably linked to wine.
As a young man, Tengger had a great love for wine, and he could always find the cabinet where his father stored it. At first, he only tasted it, but as time went on, his alcohol consumption gradually increased, and his father began to notice that his youngest son, Tengger, was secretly drinking.
Tengger was beaten and scolded for this, but those two glasses of wine made him unable to extricate himself. After that, he often went out with friends to drink, a plate of peanuts could be drunk until late at night, and when he got drunk, he lay asleep on the street.
His mother had repeatedly gone out in the middle of the night to look for a drunken Tengger, and each time he would get drunk. Despite several educations, he still insisted on his addiction to alcohol and could not extricate himself.
After going to college, Tengger went to Tianjin, away from the discipline of his parents, and his addiction to alcohol became even worse, and he would drink whenever he could.
As a native of Inner Mongolia, after coming to Tianjin, Tengger has never been defeated at the wine table. Unlike others who try to cut back on their drinking, Tengger is always looking for opportunities to booze with people.
According to this drinking habit, Tengger's living expenses are not enough every month. However, Tengger always insisted that you can skip food and drink.
In the most difficult moment, Tengger was even so anxious to sell blood and drink, and after drawing blood, his face was pale and his body was weak. Unlike others who nourish blood by eating jujubes and brown sugar, Tengger chooses to pour wine into his stomach.
After graduating from university, Tengger had a stable job and began to create in his spare time. In 1986, Tengger became popular with the song "Mongolian", and since then he has started his ** road.
Tengger met his first wife, Hasgaova, the following year. At that time, Tengger had long hair and a big beard, and he was very artistic. Most of his early works were set in his hometown, and he sang the praises of the grassland again and again with his clear voice, which touched countless people.
Tengger has achieved great success in the ** world, and his influence has even extended to Taiwan. However, his success also made his addiction worse. When he was young, he couldn't drink freely because of poverty, but now that he has financial strength, he feels that his stomach capacity is too small to satisfy his desire to drink.
So, he organized a group of friends to form a beer association, just to be able to drink as much as he wanted.
After Tengger became famous, although he bought a sports car and a mansion, he found a different way and opened four restaurants. However, Tengger's ability to run a business does not seem to be very clever, and the biggest function of these four restaurants seems to be to provide him with alcohol personally.
Immersed in the restaurant every day, surrounded by heroes, it is very lively. However, the business situation of the restaurant is getting worse, and the store manager is financially worried, because Tengger always gives generously after every drink, and all the orders are free!
On a whim, he waived not only his own bills, but also the bills of other guests by the way. In his "big brother" sound, he lost himself. However, by the time he realizes his mistake, it's already too late.
All four restaurants have closed down, his passbook is as thin as a piece of paper, all the money in his bank card has been cleared, and even his house and car have been forced to sell. His wife, Hasgaova, could not stand his behavior and chose to divorce.
In 1995, at the age of 35 and penniless, Tengger cut off his long hair and quit drinking. Fortunately, life did not abandon him, and unfortunately, he also paid for it.
After five years of concealment and five years of tempering, in 2000, Tengger appeared in front of the public again with a bald image and blue eyes. At the Hangzhou ** TV Exhibition, he made a strong return to the music scene with the song "Paradise".
He is now in middle age, but he has reconciled with himself. His singing voice is full of unparalleled emotions, singing the praises of the ideal country in his heart. His voice is impassioned and generous, yet full of calm, which makes people feel deeply resonant.
In 2003, he married dancer Hunger Zhula and started a new life.
After experiencing rebirth, Tengger turned his focus to his family. The following year, at the age of 44, he welcomed a daughter, whom he named Gagir, a name that means "earth" in Mongolian, symbolizing Tengger's desire to spend his life protecting this life as precious as the earth, but fate played a joke on him.
In 2007, Tengger welcomed his little baby, and he thought that life would be better because of it. However, fate played a cruel joke on him, and his daughter was found to have a congenital disease.
For the next two years, Tengger stayed by his daughter's side, seeking medical treatment in the hope of finding a cure for her, but in the end he could only watch his daughter die in his arms.
At the age of 50, Tengger had experienced the ups and downs of his life, but this time he couldn't shake the pain of losing his daughter. He recalls that his daughter, Gagir, was very lively and cheerful when she first fell ill, but suddenly one day she knew that her father could not save her life, so she became reticent.
His father's sense of powerlessness cannot be ignored, so Tengger chose to fade out of the public eye and devote himself to his family. The prairie singer gradually faded out of people's memory.
Who would have thought that Tengger would return again in 2017, change the decline and regain his strength. One of his covers of "**'s Wings" instantly ignited people's enthusiasm, and the rugged man performed a shy love song with an affectionate voice, and this strong contrast was eye-catching.
In the next few years, Tengger began to cover and try different ** styles, which was warmly welcomed by young people and was known as "Uncle Meng" Tengger.
However, as time went on, some people began to criticize Tengger for repeating the old ** works, just to attract attention and make money, but Tengger never responded to this.
In 2018, Tengger made a stunning appearance in "Singer Season 2", showing his style and strength that year. His deep voice and sincere emotional expression have captivated countless listeners.
Only a person with a pure heart can sing such a moving song. And Tengger is the one who has a pure heart.
Although Tengger is still active in the entertainment industry, covering many love songs, full of humor and fun, he still can't hide the pain he suffered in the past. However, whenever he mentions his daughter, he can't hold back his tears.
Although his life was full of desolation, he never gave up on himself, and his positive and optimistic attitude is the best proof of his tenacity in facing life.
