In 1983, a soulful Chinese song touched countless Chinese descendants.
Zhang Mingmin, an amateur singer from Hong Kong, also became famous for his outstanding performance.
Due to the influence of this song, his popularity in the mainland reached its peak for a while.
But in Hong Kong, he was ** and ostracized, and had to make ends meet by repairing his watch.
Despite such a difficult situation, he donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to China's first Asian Games.
Whether it's a property or a car, it should support the country's major affairs.
Decades have passed.
Is that singer who can sing the heart of China not bad?
Patriotic singer Zhang Mingmin
Zhang Mingmin, born in 1956 in a family of overseas Chinese who returned to China, has had a deep affection for China since he was a child.
In the 1960s, Hong Kong was under British rule, and the main content of instruction in schools was English.
Despite this, Zhang Mingmin has always been committed to learning Xi Chinese and enjoys humming a few Chinese songs in his free time.
After completing secondary school, Zhang Mingmin chose to work in a factory in order to reduce the financial burden on his family.
He initially worked as an apprentice accountant in a foreign firm for half a year before moving to another inspection company.
After that, I found that the job of a clerk had become boring, so I decided to change careers and become a technician.
I have a dream that one day I will be able to set up my own factory on my own.
Precisely because of the practical work experience in these positions.
This allowed him to make new friends from all backgrounds and broaden his horizons.
In his free time, he would hum a few songs to soothe his inner depression.
When he was 21 years old, he mustered up the courage to sign up for his first singing competition and unexpectedly won the title.
After two years, he once again won the amateur team, which provided him with a good opportunity to sign a contract with the record label.
However, in the years that followed, he continued to explore broader opportunities for growth.
However, in that era, Hong Kong's entertainment scene was dominated by Cantonese songs, and Chinese songs had little chance of survival.
It wasn't until 1982 that he finally ushered in an opportunity that truly belonged to him.
In that particular year, the world experienced a major event.
Our arch-rival, Japan, has blatantly tampered with their history textbooks in an attempt to erase the crimes they have committed against China.
This "shameless" act was immediately met with fierce opposition from Chinese and overseas Chinese around the world.
Considering that it was a critical period of negotiations between China and the United States on the issue of Hong Kong and Macao.
Huang, the well-known songwriter, was so touched that he wrote a song to convey his inner emotional turmoil.
This song was later widely popular in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and was called "My Chinese Heart".
Due to its political uniqueness, the song was particularly sensitive when it was first released, and few singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan dared to sing it.
In the end, Zhang Mingmin, who has always been passionate about Chinese songs, took over this headache-inducing "hot potato".
Singing loudly: "Yangtze River!".The Great Wall!Huangshan!Yellow River!Zhang Mingmin has not yet learned about this.
This Chinese song, which everyone doesn't like, has the potential to change the trajectory of his life in just one night.
In 1983, CCTV was busy preparing for the first Spring Festival Gala.
Director Huang Yihe is busy preparing for the show.
This is to show the core theme of families on both sides of the strait.
A question suddenly occurred to him: could he invite actors from Hong Kong to participate in this performance?
However, due to the influence of the historical background, there was always a clear gap between the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan at that time.
A lot of cultures and arts are not very closely connected.
In order to find the most suitable program, Huang Yihe personally led the director team to Shenzhen Port for an art investigation.
When they took the bus, they heard the song "My Chinese Heart" sung by Zhang Mingmin for the first time.
The melody of that ** was full of passion and vitality, leaving him with unforgettable memories.
Huang Yihe eagerly inquired about the record of the song, but searched the local area for a long time but could not find it.
Thanks to the assistance of local residents, they finally bought Zhang Mingmin's *** in Hong Kong
After listening to all the lyrics of this song, Huang Yihe's eyes were full of tears.
He immediately made a decision, he will definitely be there in this Spring Festival Gala!
After a series of twists and turns, Huang Yihe finally succeeded in getting in touch with the record company where Zhang Mingmin was working at the time.
When Zhang Mingmin learned the news that she was about to appear on CCTV, her mood suddenly became nervous.
Deep down there is a fear of my hometown, afraid that I will make a mess.
Despite the constant persuasion of his parents, he finally mustered up the courage and nodded gently.
After receiving a clear response, Huang Yihe immediately arranged for Zhang Mingmin to go to Beijing to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhang Mingmin's knowledge of the mainland was very limited at that time, so when she came to Beijing, she only dared to stay in a hotel and did not dare to go out.
When he first arrived, he couldn't even buy the Coke he wanted, and he encountered a lot of difficulties in communicating with Huang Yihe.
Despite this, with the encouragement and support of his mother, Zhang Mingmin finally mustered up the courage to go on stage.
In the end, he completed his performance in a way that was both natural and passionate.
After he sang the song in Mandarin, he couldn't imagine the meaning at all.
The song quickly gained widespread attention and affection at a stormy pace.
In just one night, the song "My Chinese Heart" left a deep impression on every corner of the mainland.
Zhang Mingmin has won the worship of many people and has become the male god in their hearts.
Support our Motherland with all our might.
Surprisingly, despite his fame on the mainland, he was snubbed in Hong Kong.
He even had to leave the record company, and with no other choice, he had no choice but to rejoin the watch factory as a worker there.
After a year, Beijing successfully applied for Asia.
In order to make Asia's greatest prosperity more prosperous and enhance the prestige of our country.
The state has invested as much as 120,000 points of manpower, material resources and energy.
However, the specific situation in China at that time was well known.
Despite the tightening of the budget by the Ministry of Finance, there is still a deficit of billions.
In order to help the country tide over this difficult situation, donations of funds and materials were being made throughout the country at that time.
Zhang Mingmin, who is in Hong Kong, was full of worry when he learned about this.
But at that time, he was just an ordinary worker and did not accumulate much savings.
He considered his own garage for donation.
Unexpectedly, the wife immediately decided to "sell" after hearing this.
Zhang Mingmin was deeply touched when she saw his wife's firm support for her.
Therefore, the couple did not hesitate to decide on their motorhome.
However, even if the family is ruined, these funds are still a drop in the bucket in the face of a huge gap of hundreds of millions of yuan.
With nothing to do, Zhang Mingmin had no choice but to pick up the microphone again and prepare to hold a concert to earn income.
As a result, he formed a performance team of more than 70 members and toured the country for a year.
In this way, Zhang Mingmin became the first Hong Kong singer in history to hold a concert in Chinese mainland.
In just one year, Zhang Mingmin has traveled to all corners of the country.
With only a few cents per person, the Asian Games successfully raised more than 600,000 yuan.
He made significant contributions to the success of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, so he was highly praised by the country and the people.
He has been practicing patriotism all his life
After returning to Hong Kong, Zhang Mingmin profoundly realized that simple patriotic feelings were not enough.
The most important thing is to have enough wealth, and when the country is in trouble, providing funds is the most realistic option.
So, he started his entrepreneurial journey and became his own boss.
Zhang Mingmin successfully accumulated wealth with enthusiasm and under the impetus of reform and opening up.
By the 1990s, he had built his own business and had assets worth more than $100 million.
Subsequently, he actively participated in various public welfare undertakings to show his patriotism.
On the occasion of Hong Kong's return to China in 1997, he once again picked up the microphone and sang affectionately about my love for China.
In 2019, when Hong Kong society underwent great changes, the gray-haired man returned to the public eye again.
Led a group of patriots to take to the streets, marched and demonstrated in the rain, and provided strong support to the police force and **.
During the 22-year epidemic period, he also recorded a public welfare song for the motherland for free.
Despite only appearing for a few seconds, the lyrics are only a few lines.
However, he took it very seriously and did not rest for several days and nights in a row.
When Zhang Mingmin participates in various activities, he always faces everything with a sincere heart.
He once expressed this opinion: "As a Chinese, I am willing to use my singing voice to make meaningful contributions to my motherland." ”
These words deeply touched the hearts of everyone around him.
This also shows the image of a sincere patriot to us.
Please pay tribute to those Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who are full of patriotic feelings.
In the entertainment industry, many stars are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
They are not only gifted, but also deeply affectionate for their homeland.
Zhang Shaohan, for example, is one of these people.
Although she looks like a "Taiwanese sweet girl", her patriotism is indestructible.
He once participated in a high-profile theatrical performance to celebrate the founding of the Communist Party of China, but was strongly criticized and spoken ill of by netizens in the Wanwan area.
Despite the adversity, she did not choose to back down, on the contrary, her feelings for her country became stronger.
He has expressed his deep affection for China affectionately many times in ** meetings or songwriting.
It is for this reason that she was subjected to a total blockade in Taiwan.
Even her biological parents have maintained clear boundaries with her".
Still, her feelings about China have not changed.
She is not only the first Taiwanese artist in her age group to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
He also had the honor of being Taiwan's only Olympic torchbearer.
Raise your eyebrows and exhale!
Coincidentally, Hong Kong actor Leung Ka-fai is also a celebrity who dares to challenge tradition and loves his motherland.
In 1983, he was banned for refusing to comply with a request from Taiwan's so-called Cultural Affairs Bureau to write "**."
He is the only one because of his deep affection for his country.
Leung Ka-fai was confused and did not understand why he could not return to the mainland for filming, so he ignored the relevant policy regulations.
swaggered into the mainland and participated in the performances of many works such as the movie "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with a Curtain".
He has lived in Beijing for more than a year and often enjoys wandering around the city.
I also have a deep sense of affection and belonging to the mainland.
He also won the title of actor for his performance in "Listening to Politics with a Curtain".
However, what is surprising is that before the Academy Awards are fully popular, ** Ling has appeared in people's eyes in advance.
After losing the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, the director no longer had the courage to invite him to participate in the filming.
Although he returned to the entertainment industry, he never forgot his contribution to the country.
In many movies with patriotic themes, he participated in the performances without pay, which is his duty.
Summary section. Whether it is Zhang Mingmin, Zhang Shaohan or Liang Jiahui.
They all showed their deep patriotic feelings through their actual actions.
Despite all the pressures and challenges they encountered, they never changed their perspective.
He showed admirable courage and determination.
Their experiences reveal the truth for us.
No matter where we are, we should love our country deeply and defend its dignity and interests through practical actions.
