As a teenager, she committed suicide once, swallowing 100 tablets of a Western medicine that her father usually ate.
The pills were so big that she put four or five tablets in her mouth at a time, drank a large mouthful of water, and swallowed them with difficulty.
She felt that there was no point in living, that there was no hope in sight, and that she could be relieved just by thinking of dying.
What happened to her?
She was born in 1988 in a rural area of Zhuozhou, Hebei Province.
The mother is mentally retarded, less intelligent than the level of a four-year-old child, and even her daughter is not recognized.
Dad was a polio sufferer with severe O-shaped legs and shook his small body every day to make ends meet.
Fortunately, there is also Grandma, who has endured the sympathetic glances and cold words of others and grew up under the care of Grandma.
She knew from an early age that her family was the lowest family in the village.
Parents are disabled, family conditions are not good, academic performance is not good... There was nothing she could get her hands on, and she didn't dare to think about the future at all.
In the first year of junior high school, her mother was injured in a fire, and she used the excuse of dropping out of school to go home to take care of her mother.
Since then, doing farm work and taking care of housework has become the focus of her life, day after day, inferiority and hopelessness.
Finally, after her father broke his leg, her emotions broke to the extreme, and she resolutely picked up the bottle of white pills.
Thanks to Dad's timely discovery, he called someone to send her to the hospital and rescued her back to this disappointed world.
Since it has come back to life, it should be "great difficulty and immortality, and there will be a blessing."
She comforted herself in this way and decided to work hard to support the family.
Seeing other partners go out to work, she is eager to move:
Other people can make money, and so can I.
Stubbornness became her only capital to challenge her destiny.
In 2004, at the age of 16, she went to Beijing alone.
The prosperity of the city makes her yearn, but there is no education, no culture, and the place that suits her is only the corner behind the prosperity.
She went to a restaurant as a waitress for 300 yuan a month.
The work was hard, the boss scolded, she endured for two months, thinking of a meager salary.
The boss deducted it for various reasons, and the salary eventually drifted.
Dazed, she walked through the underground passage of the Fuxing Gate and saw a wandering singer and the change in front of him.
After observing from the side for nearly a day, the dream of singing that accompanied her growing up was awakened, and she saw a glimmer of light in her destiny.
Can sing their favorite songs, earn fifty or sixty yuan a day, much stronger than the waiter, after the heartbeat began to act.
She studied under singers, bought a second-hand guitar for more than 100 yuan, and embarked on the road of singing in the underground passage to make a living.
She is Ren Yueli.
At this time, it is still 4 years before she becomes the "Xidan Girl" known to all.
There is a saying:
God closes a door and will open another window for you.
But the reality is that God closes a door and often forgets to open a window for you.
If you want to break out of the confinement of fate, the most important thing is to learn the ability to open the door and open the window.
The underground passage is bustling with people, passers-by are like a tide, wave after wave, coming and going in a hurry.
Wandering singers are like an innocuous landscape, most people are accustomed to it, turn a blind eye, and few people can stop and listen or leave change.
Dialing the guitar, gently chanting, one after another, Ren Yueli wu sang for 4 years.
Singing is a song, but also a life story of oneself or many people.
There are always heartstrings that are touched and change is taken out of their pockets as a sign of respect, affection or sympathy.
Earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, not much, but can sustain yourself.
In addition to the rent of more than 300 yuan per month, the living expenses of no more than 10 yuan per day are sent home.
She told her family that she worked at a restaurant and was well paid, and no one knew she was singing in the underground passage.
Returning to the 10-square-meter rental house in the evening, she felt that she could support her family and support herself, and there was a little pride in contentment.
But she did not dare to think about the future, hovering on the line of life that had just been able to solve the problem of food and clothing, and she did not have the ability to hope for luxury.
The underground passage is like a magnified haha mirror, where she sees all kinds of people and all kinds of attitudes.
A young lad, very dismissively tossing a few coins at her, still looked at her playfully from the side.
Those few coins lying on the ground, trampling on dignity, were pushed back by Ren Yueli with her hands.
She needed money to live, she needed to sing in this way to make a living, but she didn't feel inferior.
Even if you can't see the sun in the underground passage, making money by your own hands is always the proudest thing under the sun.
She had seen too many strange glances, heard too many words of sympathy, and had long been accustomed to filtering herself through all kinds of hurtful words and deeds.
Later, she became a famous "Xidan girl", and the "tendons" in her brain were always tight.
I make money by singing, I can sing with peace of mind, why do I have to go out to socialize? Why bother with leadership? Why say so many scene words that are not the words of the heart?
So many delicious things, I have never seen, have not eaten, but never enough.
Squeeze out smiling faces for leaders large and small, but can't squeeze out willing happiness.
Those words that have been arranged in advance, there are not a few words that I really want to say.
Participating in the variety show, she just ran to sing, so she refused to learn to dance.
The way she refused was simple, a person hiding in a corner silently, at odds with the energetic collective.
Her original family has carved a deep imprint on her body, she actively lives and faces bravely, but she is timid and inferior, and it is difficult to really relax herself.
In 2008, Ren Yueli was 20 years old and had been singing in the underground passage for 4 years.
Every day, she rode for more than an hour to the underground passage, singing for 6 or 7 hours.
Winter came and spring came, and the cold and summer changed, and she became the longest-lasting wandering singer there.
Recalling that part of the road, she never felt bitter, but worked hard, earning more than a dozen yuan a day to make her very happy.
On December 20, the coldest winter day in the north, the wind through the underground passage was cold and bone-chilling.
A netizen walked into the Xidan underground passage, and he heard "Angel's Wings" turn around in his ear.
Ethereal, pure, distinctive sounds attracted his ears and eyes.
A young girl, a bloated warm suit, a guitar, a speaker, pictures and songs, made him stop and look.
He shed tears, took out his mobile phone, and recorded the girl's singing video.
What he recorded may be the touch of the heart in an instant, or it may be the difficulty of everyone's life.
Invisibly, he acted as a messenger of fate, bringing a turning point in the girl's life.
On December 25, netizens posted the video online.
A month later, another netizen reprinted the video with the title of "Xidan Underground Passage Girl Cover Singing "Angel's Wings".
Overnight, more than 3 million reads, more than 100,000 likes, directly pushed this girl to the public.
No one knew the girl's name, so she had a nice code name, Xidan Girl.
Many people came to hear her sing, and the Xidan Underpass became her main singing home.
Because of the 4 words of "Xidan Girl", Ren Yueli's fate has changed dramatically.
Fan pursuit, inspirational story, Ren Yueli naturally became a grassroots character representative who did not succumb to fate.
Many media outlets have focused on her, digging into her earning a living story and unleashing her motivational energy.
In 2010, she appeared on the stage of "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala", relying on the help of fans, the positive energy image was added to the points, and she obtained the Spring Festival Gala singing qualification.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 2011, Ren Yueli embraced the guitar and sang "Homecoming" in her true colors.
The pure and clear singing sounded, which resonated with countless wandering wanderers and brought a bright future to themselves.
After the Spring Festival Gala, she became a near-household star.
Concert invitations, advertising endorsements, variety shows, character interviews... Hydrangeas of the future were thrown at her.
At one point, her appearance fee rose to 100,000 yuan, and her schedule was full.
With more than 300 collaborations a year, she travels non-stop and concentrates on making money.
Money is not omnipotent, but it can cure the poverty of the family, so that parents do not worry about eating and wearing, and do not worry about not being able to afford medicine.
It can also heal the hollowness of the spirit and fill the passion of Ren Yueli's struggle.
After Ren Yueli's singing video in the underground passage exploded, her family and neighbors sat around and watched.
Dad's face seems calm, but his heart is full of mixed feelings.
He is not able to provide a good life for his daughter, but relies on her daughter to earn money to support the family at a young age.
Being a waiter is more heartbreaking than being a wandering singer.
He kept nagging: "She said she worked in a restaurant, and I didn't expect her to go there and sing." ”
The helplessness of the father's love, the guilt that cannot be erased, tangled into a mess in the father's heart.
How could he not feel sorry for his daughter?
When I was in school, every time there was a parent-teacher conference, my father told my daughter's eldest daughter to go.
In fact, he knew both the teacher and the principal, but he didn't have the courage to go to school.
He was afraid that after other children saw him, they would laugh at their daughter and add psychological burden to her daughter.
Other children are enjoying the pampering of their parents, and their daughters earn money early to support their families, and as a father, it is difficult to hide their sadness.
The actual situation left him with no choice.
Others sang "Only mother is good in the world", and Ren Yueli sang "Only grandma is good in the world".
Years passed, time flies, and Grandma suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
The family, only Ren Yueli, with her still young shoulders, struggled to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family.
Shouldering the responsibility is Ren Yueli's hard-earned money.
Many people say that she should seize the opportunity to learn, otherwise she will not keep up with the development of the times and will be eliminated sooner or later.
But Ren Yueli believes that she must seize the opportunity to make money and save money.
Buy a car for dad and a big house of 300 square meters for the family.
I don't pay attention to my own food and clothing, and the rest of the money is saved up for my grandmother and mom and dad to use when they are sick.
Her love for this poor house must be measured in money.
While singing in the underground passage, a singer 14 years older than Ren Yueli confessed to her.
During the most difficult times, they took care of each other and warmed each other.
He pointed out the direction of her life and made her feel the warmth of the world.
But she refused, not because she didn't like it, but because she didn't dare to like it.
On her terms, she was unwilling to drag anyone, especially those who loved her, into this muddy water that would not know when it would be clear.
After becoming famous, the economic conditions improved, and she had the ability to clear the muddy waters.
Without any worries, she turned to "good horses to eat the grass" and chased the man who was 14 years older than her back.
In 2014, the two married, and this man named Li Gang became Ren Yueli's legal husband, agent, and comrade-in-arms who worked hard for life.
The turning window of fate is finally opened by itself, and all other externalities are called opportunities.
So there's a saying: The opportunity is coming, are you ready?
When the opportunity came, Ren Yueli had been preparing for 4 years.
Some people say that Ren Yueli is like a meteor flashing in the night sky, which gradually disappears without a trace after stunning the eyes of everyone.
She said:
Everyone wants to be a star, not a shooting star, and so do I. But I didn't disappear, I was just busy focusing on my own things, making albums, making music videos, singing, performing...
Her mentality is rarely peaceful, even if no one pays attention, she enjoys herself in her own life and does not feel lost.
What had been such a depressed day was now a world of difference, and she was very satisfied.
On days when there was no performance, in the rented 60-square-meter two-bedroom apartment, she ate snacks and quietly did what she liked.
In addition to her acting career, she started her own business.
She co-financed with several partners to develop a toothpaste, the Rather Love Pie.
She is the least funded, and given the actual situation, she is mainly responsible for product promotion and sales.
In 2016, Po Aipai toothpaste was acquired for a purchase price of 60 million yuan.
In a program of the Central Second Radio, the judge Dong Mingzhu expressed appreciation for Ren Yueli's successful transformation and entrepreneurship in just a few years.
Her huge poster landed on New York's Times Square, and rumors spread about her worth hundreds of millions.
Even the neighbors in the village ran to Ren Yueli's house and asked her father to borrow money.
They said, "Yueli has become a billionaire, and your family has money." ”
As an inspirational grassroots, a big guy publicly praised her:
To all the hard-working entrepreneurs who do not rely on their parents and do not rely on relationships, rely on their own hands and brains, salute!
Under the influence of entrepreneurial passion, Ren Yueli released a bold statement:
I want to do Dong Mingzhu second.
In the photo with Dong Mingzhu, she became a fan in seconds, but many people said that she was delusional.
Now, she is only 33 years old, and the road ahead is still long, and the people who say this are arbitrary.
Doing what you love and living a life without worrying about food and clothing is luckier than the days before you became famous.
She is Ren Zong, but not the legendary value of hundreds of millions.
She felt that this statement was too exaggerated, but she never deliberately explained it.
Because this legend, like free advertising, really helped open up the sales of toothpaste.
Dong Mingzhu is still far away from her, but she has been working hard, and she may not know one day, her dream will come true.
She still shuttles through third- and fourth-tier cities, going to commercial performances and wedding scenes to help entertain.
The money for each show is not much, but she earns her own money to spend, and she has only been grateful and has not complained.
She always knows where she came from, always pays attention to public welfare, and donates to love as much as she can.
Every kind of life cannot escape the nonsense of others; every road cannot stop others from pointing fingers and feet.
The future is long, and Ren Yueli's future is still shining.
You love your mountain treasures and seafood, I love my radish greens, and some people like to eat smorgasbord.
Everyone's life is different. But everyone's choice deserves to be respected.
17 years ago, Ren Yueli had a helpless choice, but now it has become a brave leap.
Seventeen years ago, in the public rental house of 40 people, 10 square meters of snail dwelling, was where she licked her wounds.
17 years ago, the crowded underground passage, although there was no sunlight, but there was light into Ren Yueli's life.
Nowadays, the hustle and bustle has become the past, and the seemingly silent Ren Yueli creates the life she yearns for and tastes the taste of life she likes.
She wants to be a star, and although she is still trying, she will never become a meteor that disappears in an instant.
Her beautiful life is not easy to come by, don't use all kinds of groundless speculation and slanderous words to disturb her hard-won life.
In the future, it does not matter whether she can become Dong Mingzhu or not.
Importantly, this belief will always support her upward growth in life.
