He was once known to the national public for singing a song, but he was also ** for 14 years because of this song. ”
This person is the singer we have been familiar with for generations - Zhang Mingmin.
Although Zhang Mingmin was born and raised in Hong Kong, he is not a native of Hong Kong, but a native of Fujian.
After the family settled in Hong Kong, he has been living a poor life, although he has liked to sing since he was a child, but due to economic conditions, he has never learned to sing.
Although he has no money to learn to sing, he has always maintained his love for **, and learns to sing sentence by sentence with the tape every day.
When he grew up, he went to work in an electronics factory in order to live, and for the ** he loved in his heart, he continued to participate in the Hong Kong Workers' Singing Competition.
At the age of 23, he ushered in the first turning point in his career, in these competitions, he won several championships, so he was favored by the record company and began his career as a singer.
When the time came in 1982, due to Japan's tampering with history textbooks, national sentiment rose again, and Huang Zhan, a talented musician, wrote "My Chinese Heart", which was subsequently composed by Wang Fuling.
The song was ready, but who would sing it became a problem, because at that time, Hong Kong had not yet returned, and the related issues were more sensitive, and some famous singers did not dare to sing it.
In the end, the company took a fancy to Zhang Mingmin, who was not yet famous, and the company hoped that he could win the love of patriotic Chinese at home and abroad with this song and make a lot of money from it.
Although the company is interested in money, Zhang Mingmin sincerely wants to take this opportunity to express his deep love to the motherland.
With this song, he finally became popular, and then ** TV threw an olive branch to him, hoping that he could sing this song on stage at the Spring Festival Gala.
This is an unsought-after opportunity for mainland stars, but due to environmental factors, it is different for Hong Kong stars, so the company to which he belongs refuses and requires Zhang Mingmin to never act.
He is not unclear about the pros and cons, but his patriotic heart has always touched him, and his mother also fully supported him, saying to him: "Don't talk nonsense when you go back, it's okay to say it, I'll go see you." ”
Therefore, regardless of the company's opposition and other voices, he resolutely went to the appointment and sang "My Chinese Heart" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 84, which brought tears to the eyes of the audience and won continuous applause.
After taking the stage this time, he became an instant hit in the mainland, and the melody of this song lingered in the hearts of every audience, but when he returned to Hong Kong, he encountered a different situation - he was **, one is 14 years.
Even if he was **, his singing career was interrupted, but he never regretted it and returned to work in the electronics factory.
When the time came in 1990, China hosted the Asian Games for the first time, and it took 2.5 billion yuan to hold the Asian Games, and there were still hundreds of millions of yuan left after the raising.
After learning the news, his patriotic heart surged again and decided to contribute his own strength.
He sold his house to raise money for a concert in the mainland after getting funds, and this decision was also strongly supported by his wife.
A concert ranged from a few cents to a few yuan, and more than 100 concerts were held in this way, raising more than 600,000 yuan, all of which were donated to the Asian Committee.
Now he is 67 years old, and he still sings with his son everywhere to continue this patriotism.
Many netizens were also moved by his patriotic deeds, saying: "I grew up listening to his songs, my heart is surging, Zhang Mingmin's true patriotic feelings, and the admiration of the people!"”
Indeed, patriotism is not only to be spoken, but also to be expressed with practical actions, how many so-called celebrities make money in the name of patriotism, but in fact they are evading taxes.
People like Zhang Mingmin are real patriots, and artists who are worthy of our real Xi and admiration.
