In 1992, there was a sad news in the Hong Kong music scene: the well-known singer Chen Baiqiang was found unconscious after taking an overdose of sleeping pills in his apartment, and was then rushed to the hospital for rescue. In his hospital bed, he struggled to survive.
This news instantly shook the entire entertainment industry. What's even more shocking is that Chen Baiqiang's career is at its peak, but 3 months ago, he just finished his farewell concert in Shanghai and announced that he would devote himself to charity performances.
Why did the 34-year-old popular singer choose to commit suicide when his career was going well? The entire entertainment industry was shocked by the result, and fans and industry insiders alike were saddened and puzzled.
Chen Baiqiang and He Chaoqiong's marriage originated from a TV series in 1981. At that time, He Chaoqiong was still a trainee of TVB, and because of her cameo appearance in this TV series, she was fortunate to meet her idol Chen Baiqiang.
Sure enough, He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang gradually became familiar with each other during the filming, and He Chaoqiong's cheerful and lively personality was very likable, and she was deeply loved by Chen Baiqiang. After the filming of the TV series, they still kept in touch, often dating, shopping and watching movies together.
In 1985, He Chaoqiong played the heroine in one of Chen Baiqiang's MVs. In the eye contact between the two, the overflowing love is obvious. At Chen Baiqiang's birthday party, He Chaoqiong sat on the main seat and publicly stated that she and Chen Baiqiang were "heart-to-heart", implying that their relationship had developed substantially.
However, the good times did not last long, and the gambling king carefully arranged a wealthy wedding with Xu Jinheng, the daughter of the ship king, for his only daughter He Chaoqiong. In 1991, Pansy Ho officially became Xu Jinheng's wife in a three-day grand wedding.
Chen Baiqiang, who once had high hopes, appeared at the wedding scene as the woman's brother at this time, and sent blessings to the wedding with He Chaoqiong. However, because of the shackles of class, the two could only become confidants in the end.
Chen Baiqiang, born in 1958, was born in his father's second room. When he was less than 1 year old, his parents divorced due to a broken relationship, and this divorce left him with a complete family and his father's love.
Despite the best efforts of his biological mother to take care of him, the lack of fatherly love in his childhood caused him great emotional trauma, resulting in a withdrawn personality and often isolated himself from the outside world.
* is the only way for him to relieve his loneliness, and it also allows his talent to be displayed. He once said, "When I was a child, it was only me and my mother, so my personality was more withdrawn".
His father's expectations were very different from his ideal choice, and at the age of 16, he had a heated argument with his father and subsequently chose to drop out of school. Chan decided to go to the United States to study**, and soon returned to Hong Kong to continue to pursue his dream of being a singer.
This rebellion against patriarchy stems from his heart's desire for the lack of paternal love. His psychological need that he has never been able to fill is to prove himself and be recognized.
When the news of Chen Baiqiang's suicide came, He Chaoqiong decided to ignore the traditional funeral customs and insisted on seeing Chen Baiqiang off in person. He Chaoqiong was already the daughter of the ship king at that time and had already entered married life.
Overcoming many obstacles, she came to the watchman and said firmly, "I want to send my brother on his last journey, I am his sister!" He Chaoqiong was dressed in a plain white dress and stayed in the mourning hall for six hours, looking in a trance.
She held Chen Baiqiang's hand tightly, tears were like rain, and in the end, she cried so much that she couldn't help it. At this moment, she removed the hard shell of the strong woman in the mall, showing the most vulnerable and soft side of a woman.
Two people who had a bumpy emotional experience failed to get together in the end. Pansy Ho expressed her grief and regret in this way. For her, Chen Baiqiang is not only a "blue-faced confidant", at this moment, he is her most painful true love.
Her crying in the mourning hall is a kind of redemption, and it is also a longing that she will never forget for the rest of her life.
If time could be turned back, if Chen Baiqiang could choose to live one more day, maybe he would not have chosen to end his life so easily. It's a pity that history is ruthless, there is only one life, and the 34-year-old ** genius left suddenly at the peak of his career, which is regrettable.
As the most representative talented singer in Hong Kong in the 80s, every classic old song he left behind is endlessly memorable. After becoming famous, his personality is still withdrawn and sensitive, and under the double blow of emotion and spirit, he failed to successfully resolve the loneliness and pain in his heart.
That night in 1992, Chen Baiqiang fell asleep alone at home and never woke up. For those of us who are still struggling in the journey of life, Chen Baiqiang's ending reminds us to learn to release stress and cherish life, and at the same time learn to communicate with others and make confidants.
