Dong Wenhua enlisted in the army at the age of 15 and became famous at the age of 23, and in his 15-year acting career, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala a total of 13 times.
He has sung popular songs such as "The Fifteenth Moon", "Happy Tonight", "The Great Wall", and "The Story of Spring".
However, since 2000, Dong Wenhua suddenly disappeared from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, not only that, but her figure also disappeared from other mainstream **.
A figure known as the "flower of the army" has fallen 23 years now, how is the life of Dong Wenhua and her husband?
For our company, customer satisfaction is the most important thing. We always strive to ensure that our clients receive the best possible service to meet their needs and build long-term relationships.
Dong Wenhua from Shenyang, Liaoning Province was born. In the yard of their house, there is a large vat used to pickle vegetables, and what the parents did not expect is that Dong Wenhua used this vat to practice singing.
Dong Wenhua has two older brothers and an older sister, and her sister Dong Shuangqiu has loved singing since she was a child and often performs in the Children's Palace. Dong Wenhua often plays with his sister.
Gradually, she developed a strong interest in singing, and often pestered her sister to ask her for advice. Over time, she also developed a keen interest in singing, and she often pestered her sister to let her teach her.
Her sister told her that learning to sing is not an easy task, and that she needs to get up early every day to practice her voice, and that she must not be lazy. Do you think you'll be able to hold on?
Dong Wenhua patted his chest and assured his sister, for fear that her sister would not agree.
As long as you are willing to teach me, I will definitely learn.
My sister originally only thought that Dong Wenhua was on a whim, thinking that he would not be able to hold on for a few days, but what was surprising was that Dong Wenhua not only persevered, she developed the habit of getting up early every day, regardless of cold or heat, and getting up on time to practice her voice.
The surrounding neighbors have known that they have two larks in their house for a long time.
Her mother was worried that Dong Wenhua might suffer frostbite during the cold winter in the northeast, so she objected to her going to the river in the morning to practice singing and suggested that she train at home. Winter temperatures here often reach more than minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Not long after, the surrounding neighbors came to the door to complain that Dong Wenhua got up too early, which affected their rest.
Dong Wenhua had no choice but to squat down and sing in the vat at home, so every morning they would hear a buzzing sound filling their house.
Torture two brothers who love to sleep in.
Dong Wenhua was already in elementary school in an instant, she was elected as the class president and a member of the art committee, and led the class to sing before class every day, which was unanimously respected by everyone.
Dong Wenhua, as the class leader, had two disabled classmates in the class at that time, and he organized the whole class every day, and personally took several classmates to take turns to help them go to and from school, consistently.
Dong Wenhua was excellent in character and learning, and after graduating from primary school, she was successfully admitted to Shenyang No. 4 Middle School, a key middle school at that time, and her parents had high hopes for her.
Their family is also going to welcome a college student, which is really emotional.
During this time, an unpleasant thing happened, that is, after graduating from middle school, my sister Dong Shuangqiu wanted to go to an art school to learn singing.
However, my father was adamant and convinced that such a choice was irresponsible. In his opinion, girls should concentrate on their studies and study hard.
You can choose to give up your studies, work in a factory, and get married as soon as possible.
In the end, my sister failed to beat her father and became a worker, she cried a lot and said to Dong Wenhua:
My sister goes to work for you, you study well, your voice is crisp, you must stick to your dreams.
When Dong Wenhua heard the news, he was moved spontaneously, and at the same time, he was more determined in his dream.
When she was in junior high school, Dong Wenhua realized that it was a rare and good opportunity for the 39th Army of the Shenyang Military Region to recruit literary and artistic soldiers in the school.
Fifteen-year-old Dong Wenhua was finally admitted and became a member of the army's amateur propaganda team.
Two years later, due to her outstanding performance, she was selected to join the Advance Song and Dance Troupe of the Shenyang Military Region.
In the song and dance troupe, Dong Wenhua studied vocal music with a teacher named Lu Menglan. The teacher later recalled that Mr. Dong was one of the most gifted students she had ever met.
This student is the most talented, hardworking, and at the same time has great respect for teachers and morality.
At that time, many of the students came from cadre families, or their parents worked in public institutions, and these children were spoiled from an early age and could not endure the hardships of studying.
She is different from Dong Wenhua, she was born in an ordinary family and has a love for singing, and this love is deep in her heart.
The teacher asks the students to transcribe and recite the lyrics before learning to sing the songs.
Dong Wenhua only needs one night to remember, while many others spend a whole week still not mastering it.
Dong Wenhua not only respects his teacher very much, but also waits for the teacher to move his chopsticks before every meal, and sometimes adds some meat to improve his diet.
She put the meat in the teacher's bowl.
Dong Wenhua has won everyone's love with her diligence and simplicity, and the person who likes her the most is ......
A boy named Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan grew up in a family of cadres, and like other children, he grew up under the doting of his parents and never experienced any hardships.
Once, the performance team went to the plateau area for a condolence performance, and due to the thin oxygen there, the captain of the team stipulated that each person could only sing one song so as not to trigger altitude sickness.
After Dong Wenhua arrived at the scene, the soldiers in the audience kept her one after another and asked to sing another song. Moved by their enthusiasm, Dong Wenhua sang three songs in one go.
By the time she started singing the third song, she was already clearly feeling the discomfort of tightness in her chest and dizziness.
In order to live up to the fighters in the audience, she firmly gritted her teeth and persevered until the end.
When Dong Wenhua walked off the stage, her steps were staggering and slightly shaky, and the teacher who led the team reprimanded her very anxiously.
How can you be so desperate to ignore my explanation?
Dong Wenhua rested for a long time, and it wasn't until she recovered that she said an unabashed word:
The warriors here have been living a hard life all the time, and I don't want to disappoint them, so let's sing as many songs as I can.
At the mention of these things, Dong Wenhua's eyes began to redden, and many of the fighters here were even younger than her.
How could she learn vocal music and learn to sing with peace of mind, if not them?
Zhang Nan stood aside, feeling very touched in his heart. The more he looked at Dong Wenhua, the more he felt that she was different from other girls.
After Zhang Nan returned to the army, he began to pursue Dong Wenhua. He knew that Dong Wenhua liked to read, so he took out the collection of books at home and shared them with her.
He also learned that Dong Wenhua often stayed up late to study, so he specially bought some snacks for her to eat as a supper.
Dong Wenhua had never experienced such preferential treatment, she was a little hesitant, but Zhang Nan forcibly gave it to her.
Rest assured, these are all I bought with my own money, you come and taste them.
After all, Dong Wenhua is just a young girl who has just experienced her first love, and this kind of meticulous care still makes her feel very useful.
She is still a little hesitant about her singing career.
Zhang Nan noticed her hesitation, but he didn't say much, and was still considerate to her as usual.
In 1980, when Dong Wenhua was 18 years old, Zhang Nan finally couldn't hold back the love in his heart and made up his mind to confess to her. In order not to delay Zhang Nan, Dong Wenhua did not hesitate to tell him directly:
In my mind, singing has always been my first choice, and I didn't think about getting married at all, and being with me may affect you.
Dong Wenhua was not forced by Zhang Nan, but accepted her information:
It's okay, I can wait for you. If you are willing to marry me in five years, I will marry you.
Dong Wenhua was 8 years younger than Zhang Nan, when he was only 18 years old. At that time, he was already considered an older young man, because the conditions of their family were very good, so many people came to propose.
He stubbornly resisted the pressure of his parents and insisted on waiting for Dong Wenhua for five years.
Dong Wenhua was deeply moved by Zhang Nan's pursuit, and she agreed to be his girlfriend.
Although they both work in the Forward Cabaret, they sometimes perform in different places. Every time they arrive at the venue, they always go out of their way to find a way to connect with each other.
Greet him and tell him to take good care of himself.
Colleagues are very envious of the relationship between them, and sometimes when the two perform on stage together, the colleagues below will even jokingly ask Zhang Nan:
When do you want to marry the girl you love?
Dong Wenhua, Zhang Nan glanced at it and said without hesitation:
I will be eager to marry her the moment she is willing to marry me.
Dong Wenhua has always understood that Zhang Nan has been under tremendous pressure in order to wait for her, so she has made up her mind that when the time is ripe, she will marry Zhang Nan.
Be sure to make him wait as soon as possible and not too long.
It didn't take long for this opportunity to come.
Dong Wenhua sang the song "When I Become a Warrior" in a theatrical performance in 1983, which deeply touched the composer Tie Yuan sitting in the audience.
Her beautiful voice and soulful rendition make her the best interpreter of lyrical songs.
As a result, Dong Wenhua's name was remembered by Tie Yuan.
Tie Yuan completed the score of the song "Fifteenth Moon" at the beginning of the second year, and he was very satisfied with the song, the only problem was that he could not find the right person to sing it.
After racking his brains, he finally remembered Dong Wenhua.
When Dong Wenhua walked into the recording studio, due to the limited conditions, it became very difficult to record a song, and it could not be interrupted halfway, and if there was a slight mistake, he had to start all over again. Tie Yuan was still comforting her.
Don't be anxious, just finish recording in three days.
Dong Wenhua only recorded it once, and he completed the song perfectly, Tie Yuan was deeply shocked, so he suggested that Dong Wenhua record another song.
Dong Wenhua recorded five songs in one day, and the results were remarkable.
Tie Yuan praised her, calling her a natural singer.
This song soon became the most popular song on Liaoning Radio**, and Dong Wenhua's name was widely spread throughout Liaoning.
While Dong Wenhua's career was booming, Zhang Nan, who had been by her side, disappeared mysteriously.
In the past, Zhang Nan would always talk to Dong Wenhua for a while, whether there was something or not. Even when he is out performing, he will be contacted through **.
Since Dong Wenhua became famous, Zhang Nan seems to have deliberately distanced herself from her.
Dong Wenhua knows Zhang Nan very well and easily understands her thoughts. She has always taken her career very seriously.
She now has the opportunity to go to the whole country, and Zhang Nan doesn't want to be a burden to her at this time.
Four years have passed, Zhang Nan has been waiting for Dong Wenhua, and Dong Wenhua thinks that it is time to marry Zhang Nan.
She found Zhang Nan, who had been avoiding her, and then said to him:
Do you remember the agreement between us? Now I want to marry you, will you marry me?
Zhang Nan was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and even stammered when he spoke.
I'm about to get married, and I'm ready to get married. ”
Dong Wenhua was silent, looking at him with a smile on his face, and after a while, Zhang Nan realized this, so he said while running
I'll call the family right away, and I'll immediately go and propose to you.
Zhang Nan's parents are also fans of Dong Wenhua, and they are very satisfied with this new daughter-in-law. At the end of the year, Dong Wenhua and Zhang Nan held a wedding.
Zhang Nan waited for her for five years, but in the end she still didn't let him wait.
Before Dong Wenhua came out of the joy of being married, she ushered in another good news - the Spring Festival Gala sent her an invitation.
In the Spring Festival Gala of 1985, Dong Wenhua became famous with the song "Fifteenth Moon" and became a well-known singer.
Dong Wenhua's years of study paid off in this year, when she was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts and began a four-year college life.
She will have to live separately from Zhang Nan.
She was comforted by Zhang Nan, he said: "You can concentrate on studying, I am at home." That's good news, my wife is about to become a college student. ”
During Dong Wenhua's study, Zhang Nan was not idle, he was also working hard to improve himself, he never thought of surpassing Dong Wenhua, his mind has always been, at least to keep up with Dong Wenhua's pace, don't let himself be too far away from her.
After graduating from university, Dong Wenhua joined the General Political Song and Dance Troupe in 1989, and then Zhang Nan was also transferred here.
Not only did they reunite in Beijing, but they still worked in the same company, as before.
In 1992, Dong Wenhua became popular again in the Spring Festival Gala with a song "Happy Tonight", she was only 30 years old at the time, and her career was booming.
However, this time Dong Wenhua changed his decision in time and chose to return to the family and take on the role of a mother.
Her friends were very incomprehensible about her actions because she was still young and had enough time to have children. In their opinion, she should focus on developing her career first.
Dong Wenhua said when talking to a friend
Zhang Nan and I have been married for 8 years, you may not know. He's always wanted to be a father, and now he's 38 years old, and I can't let him wait any longer.
Dong Wenhua, who was pregnant, sang "The Sun Rises from Your Hands" on the Spring Festival Gala in 1993, and gave birth to a son for Zhang Nan 5 months later.
Zhang Nan hugged the child and cried with joy, Dong Wenhua looked at it, and felt very sad in his heart, and his guilt for Zhang Nan was even deeper.
Zhang Nan encouraged Dong Wenhua after the child was full moon and said
I understand, you have always dreamed of becoming a singer, and the stage is where you should go, so leave the child to me to take care of.
Since then, Zhang Nan has become a "housewife", he takes care of his son, Dong Wenhua, and the elderly. In fact, he is also a very good tenor.
For Dong Wenhua, he is willing to hide his excellent talents and become her staunch supporter.
In the following years, Dong Wenhua has been at the peak of his career, winning wide acclaim with songs such as "The Great Wall", "The Story of Spring" and "Voyage", and has become a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala.
In the 90s, Dong Wenhua became famous, perhaps because of her fame, she suffered misfortune after participating in the 2000 Spring Festival Gala.
The occurrence of the Xiamen Yuanhua case shocked the whole country, and the criminal Lai fled to Canada. Subsequently, Dong Wenhua and Lai's ** were **.
Dong Wenhua has become the focus of questioning, rumors are everywhere, and there is no argument.
The famous composer Gu Jianfen expressed doubts about Dong Wenhua's character, and personally learned about the situation from the task force, and finally confirmed that Dong Wenhua was not related to Lai.
However, everything came too late, and Dong Wenhua's career still suffered a devastating blow.
Since then, Dong Wenhua has no longer appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, and many large-scale galas and events have no longer invited her. Just when she was the saddest, Zhang Nan's husband stood in front of her and said:
As long as we have a clear conscience, we are not afraid of how others will accuse, because those who are pure are self-purifying.
After her career hit rock bottom, Dong Wenhua devoted all her time and energy to her creation and family, and finally she launched her own "Harbor".
She has never given up the pursuit of the best road.
Dong Wenhua announced her comeback in 2008, which was her return to the public eye after years of silence. A year later, in 2009, she was awarded the title of "People's Favorite Artist" together with Yu Kuizhi, Jackie Chan, Zhang Yimou and others.
In the next few years, some people often broke the news that Dong Wenhua appeared in some commercial performances, so some netizens speculated that Dong Wenhua's life was not satisfactory.
Why bother lowering oneself to make money, if not?
However, in recent years, there have been some ** when Dong Wenhua attended a gathering of friends, and it can be seen from these ** that although Dong Wenhua is over 60 years old, he is very well maintained, with short hair, neat and neat.
Her husband Zhang Nan has become a little round and always accompanies her with a smile on his face.
It can be seen that Dong Wenhua's life in her later years is very good, and it is not as many people say, she has become so poor that she can only rely on commercial performances to make money.
Maybe Dong Wenhua just likes the feeling of standing on stage and singing.
May the old artists be happy and healthy in their old age and receive good blessings.
