The singer sang a song full of emotion "My Chinese Heart" on the Spring Festival Gala in 1984, which quickly became popular all over the country.
The song was sung by the famous patriotic singer Zhang Mingmin.
This theme song full of patriotic feelings was supposed to be warmly welcomed, but unfortunately Zhang Mingmin was ** as soon as he returned to Hong Kong, and he was also terminated by the company, which was very unfortunate.
Although the country is about to host the Asian Games, it is facing the dilemma of lack of funds, but this has not broken Zhang Mingmin's patriotism. On the contrary, he decided without hesitation to sell his house and do his part for the country!
The Hong Kong music star, once glamorous, has suddenly disappeared. Now, how is Zhang Mingmin doing?
In my dreams, I only have rivers and mountains, and I have not set foot in the motherland for many years, but no matter what, my feelings towards China will not change.
Once this moving melody sounds, it will remind people of Zhang Mingmin who stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala back then.
Zhang Mingmin once sang "My Chinese Heart" at the Spring Festival Gala, and this song quickly became popular throughout China. This song expresses the deep longing of the wandering wanderer for his motherland.
Although he was very popular in the mainland, when he returned to Hong Kong, he was snubbed by his hometown and rejected by the entertainment industry, and even the record company he signed with was forced to terminate his contract by strong public emotions.
Stressed by life, Cheung worked in a watch factory in Hong Kong, but in 1988 he suddenly heard that his home country did not have enough money to prepare for the Asian Games.
At that time, our country was at a stage where it was just able to solve the problem of food and clothing, and the country simply did not have the ability to pay a huge amount of nearly 2.5 billion.
Even if ** has done everything it can to raise funds, there is still a shortage of 600 million. With the Asian Games approaching, people are very worried about it.
When all foreign people were expecting China to make a fool of themselves, Zhang Mingmin was still struggling to live in the watch factory, and he did not hesitate to stand up and say to the organizing committee: I am willing to contribute my own strength.
Because Zhang Mingmin has been ** in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he can't raise funds at all. As a result, he plans to use his talents to tour around the country and use the proceeds to support nation-building.
Since the tour requires a team, Zhang Mingmin simply cannot afford the cost at this time, so she actually plans to mortgage the house she lives in to the bank.
Zhang Mingmin tentatively proposed his ideas to his wife, and after listening to it, his wife simply responded: "This amount of funds is not enough, so let's sell it directly, no need to bet." ”
Zhang Mingmin's wife, like her husband, has a deep affection for the motherland, so when she heard her husband's thoughts, she did not hesitate to express her full support.
The couple is a typical example of the well-known proverb: "Share the blessings and share the difficulties".
The two were like-minded at this time, and they quickly ** the house and the vehicle, and only then did they raise enough money to form a team of more than seventy people and start touring.
Zhang Mingmin and his team began a formal concert tour in the mainland, and over the course of a year, he held more than 100 concerts in total, almost all over China.
He could even do three shows in a row in a day, as his tour was so popular that ticket tickets** soared to more than three dollars at one point.
Zhang Mingmin finally managed to raise more than 600,000 donations for his homeland through a nearly year-long concert tour, although this amount still could not make up for the huge funding gap required for the Asian Games.
However, his deep patriotism has touched the heartstrings of every Chinese, inspired everyone to take action, and finally successfully hosted the Asian Games and impressed foreigners who looked down on China.
Although Zhang Mingmin did not have a house to live in after returning to his hometown, his contribution to the motherland will be remembered by every compatriot.
Zhang Mingmin grew up in a love for the country, when Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland, and although he preferred English teaching at school, Zhang Mingmin still did not forget to learn Xi Chinese.
Unfortunately, in order to reduce the financial burden on his family, Zhang Mingmin went to work in a factory after graduating from middle school. During the workday, he likes to hum some lyrics in his free time.
Zhang Mingmin actually loves singing very much, and at that time he fantasized every day that he would become a household name in the future, and he did succeed in realizing his childhood dream in the future.
In order to realize his dream of being a singer, Zhang Mingmin occasionally participated in some singing competitions and unexpectedly achieved some good rankings, which made him full of confidence in his ideals.
When Zhang Mingmin was competing to sing, he met his true daughter, and accompanied by his girlfriend, he was successfully signed by the company to become a singer.
However, Zhang Mingmin has not always been favored by good luck. Although he had already released several records, they did not cause a sensation and disappeared in obscurity.
Just when he was thinking about giving up his dream of becoming a singer, famous Hong Kong composers Huang Zhan and Wang Fuling reached out to him and invited him to sing "My Chinese Heart", which they co-wrote.
Zhang Mingmin already has a deep affection for the motherland, and when he heard the news, his originally discouraged mood instantly ignited the flame of hope, so he immediately came to record the song.
He didn't expect that once this song was released, it not only quickly achieved very bright results, but also put him on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Huang Yihe happened to hear the news at that time, and he was still worried about the Spring Festival Gala program at that time. So, he immediately invited Zhang Mingmin to sing a song "My Chinese Heart" in front of the national audience.
Zhang Mingmin became famous overnight after the Spring Festival Gala, but when he returned to his hometown of Hong Kong, he faced "boycott" and "**" from the masses
However, this did not dampen Zhang's patriotic fervor, on the contrary, he became a symbol of cross-strait cultural exchange when Hong Kong returned to China in 1997.
Despite the boycott from the Hong Kong entertainment industry at the time, Zhang Mingmin decided to develop singing as a side hustle and started his own entrepreneurial path.
Although Zhang Mingmin encountered many difficulties when he first started his business, after years of hard work, he has now become the owner of a Hong Kong-listed company.
When Hong Kong returned to the motherland in 1997, Zhang Mingmin was invited to sing "My Chinese Heart" again at the celebration, and at this moment he was finally able to sing the song that meant so much to him without any burden. Moreover, not only that.
He later traveled back and forth between Hong Kong and the mainland, singing for children in poor areas, and donating all his income to these children in need.
During this time, Cheung also served as a member of the Selection Committee of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and in 2011, he was awarded the Bronze Bauhinia Star for his contribution to friendly communication between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Even, Zhang Mingmin's subsequent actions for national unity are really worthy of being rewarded by **. Whenever the motherland needed help, he always rushed to the front.
In 2014, when violence broke out in Hong Kong, he not only bravely stood up for the public, but also said: "How can our roads tolerate this garbage." ”
Whenever there is turmoil, he always stands up as soon as possible, calling on the people to stay sane, resist malicious incitement, and guide young people to choose the right path.
Over the past few decades, Zhang Mingmin has used her reputation to promote many meaningful cultural developments among young people in the mainland and Hong Kong.
Zhang Mingmin is not only a singer who loves the motherland, but also a social activist who puts patriotism into practical action.
Zhang Mingmin is 67 years old, but he still has never stopped loving his motherland. Even when the epidemic was raging, he actively participated in the CCTV public welfare song "Firmly Believe that Love Will Win", which inspired people and aroused everyone's fighting spirit.
Zhang Mingmin's songs are not only popular in the north and south of the country, but also evoke the love of the motherland for people far from home.
There is no doubt that the reason why Zhang Mingmin was able to devote himself to this patriotic cause is also due to the fact that his wife has always been silently supporting him, and this firm and selfless support is deeply admirable.
Zhang Mingmin's patriotic experience has deeply infected the patriotic feelings of every Chinese, and I hope that his future life will be smooth and he can create more excellent songs for everyone.
