You say, in this entertainment industry, who is most qualified to be called a "real superstar"? Or is it a female star who can't even be recognized by plastic surgery? Wrong! Neither.
The one I'm going to talk about today is the one who really deserves the word "superstar". Not only can she sing well, but she can also give up love for the sake of her motherland. That's right, I'm talking about Xu Xiaofeng. This name may be a little unfamiliar to the post-80s and post-90s. But, let me tell you why Xu Xiaofeng is a real superstar!
Xu Xiaofeng: From obscurity to the queen of the music scene
Xu Xiaofeng, as soon as this name came out, many old fans probably jumped up with excitement. But for young people, they may be confused: Who is this? So awesome? Don't worry, listen to me slowly.
On New Year's Day in 1949, the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Xiaofeng was born in an ordinary family in Wuhan, Hubei. Just born to catch up with such a good day, this girl is destined to be not simple! However, fate played a little joke on her. When she was 2 years old, she moved to Hong Kong with her parents.
You think this is just an ordinary immigration story? Then you are wrong. Sister Xiaofeng has not taken the usual path since she was a child. The other children were in school, but she was fine, she dropped out of school at the age of 13.
But don't get me wrong, it's not like she doesn't like to learn. In order to help share the pressure on the family, this girl offered to drop out of school to help take care of her younger siblings at home. Tsk, this sensible, now the bear children learn a little!
However, God will always favor those who have a heart. At the age of 16, Xu Xiaofeng participated in the singing competition of "Hong Kong Warbler". You know what?
This girl amazed the audience as soon as she appeared, and won the championship in one fell swoop! You know, she is an "amateur" who has never studied professional music! This time is good, the scouts of the record company are crazy, scrambling to sign this "fragrant bait".
However, Xu Xiaofeng's parents don't think so. In their opinion, the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, where is the place where good people stay? But Sister Xiaofeng is not the one who gives up easily. She finally convinced her parents. In this way, the legendary story of a generation of music divas officially kicked off.
Xu Xiaofeng's history of struggle: from the song hall to the Spring Festival Gala
Do you think Xu Xiaofeng will be popular all over the country as soon as he debuts? Then you would be naïve. At the beginning, people didn't know her mezzo-soprano who was neither high nor low.
But Sister Xiaofeng is not a master who easily admits defeat. She started running between karaoke halls and nightclubs just to get a chance to show her face.
Speaking of which, you may not believe it, one year during the Spring Festival, Xu Xiaofeng was stunned to work in the song hall until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve. During that time, she relied on a few breads every day. At its most exaggerated, she ran more than ten venues a year to sing. Tell me, how many of the little fresh meat in the entertainment industry can endure this kind of hardship?
However, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. In 1969, Xu Xiaofeng finally waited for her opportunity. Hong Kong Wenzhi Records saw her potential and signed her. With the help of the famous musician Wen Qibo, Xu Xiaofeng began to prepare his first album.
In this recording, 12 songs were recorded! These songs were placed on the three records of "Wall", "Autumn Night", and "Fire of Love". In this way, Xu Xiaofeng quickly became popular at an astonishing speed. Making movies, participating in activities, and singing theme songs for movies belong to Xu Xiaofeng's era, and it's finally here!
Speaking of which, Sister Xiaofeng is really not a master to mess with. At that time, it was the era when TVB covered the sky with one hand, but Xu Xiaofeng was stunned and had a conflict with them. Moreover, she also left a sentence domineeringly: "Strength is the last word." Tell me, how many celebrities dare to say this kind of thing now?
Xu Xiaofeng's peak: The Spring Festival Gala changed the rules for her
In 1989, Xu Xiaofeng's career can be said to have reached its peak. This year, on the one hand, she was preparing for her own concert, and on the other hand, she also received an invitation to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Tell me, can ordinary people have this treatment?
However, Sister Xiaofeng is not the kind of person who is not greedy enough. Because of her lack of skills, she could only reluctantly refuse the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala. But, guess what? The Spring Festival Gala changed the rules for her!
Xu Xiaofeng became the first star to appear in the Spring Festival Gala in the form of recording and broadcasting. Tell me, how big a brand does this have to be for the Spring Festival Gala to change the rules for you? How many of the so-called "top streamers" can have this treatment?
However, Sister Xiaofeng is not the kind of person who is proud of her privileges. On the contrary, she has been doing public welfare and helping younger generations. This also made her the most respected person in the hearts of countless Hong Kong movie stars.
Do you still remember the scene when Andy Lau attended her concert? Towards the end of the music, Andy gave her a big salute! Tell me, how powerful and charismatic is this to make peers so respectful?
Xu Xiaofeng's emotional world: I'd rather be single than stay in the motherland
Speaking of which, some people may ask: such an excellent woman must have a rich love life, right? Don't worry, listen to me slowly.
Xu Xiaofeng's love life can be said to be quite low-key. Except for a "marriage anecdote", the only relationship she has made public is the relationship that she calls "7 years of dewy love".
The male protagonist of this relationship is an auto shop manager named Liao Hui. The two met because they bought a car, fell in love at first sight, and soon fell in love. Seeing that they were about to enter the palace of marriage, Liao Hui said a word and directly cut off their relationship.
Guess what he said?" Marry me and come with me to the United States. "
is such a simple sentence, but Xu Xiaofeng made up his mind to break up. Why? Because in Xu Xiaofeng's view, if the price of marriage is to leave her country and give up her entire career, just for that "green card", then she would rather not get married.
Xu Xiaofeng said: "I am Chinese." is such a simple sentence, but it expresses her deep feelings for the motherland. Tell me, how many celebrities can give up love for the motherland?
Later, Xu Xiaofeng sang like this in his song "Helpless":
"I wanted to retreat with you indifferently, but it was not easy to go, seeing my blank face and confused eyes, you couldn't bear to turn around...... I hope that this relationship will be prolonged, but it will disappear like dew, and every moment you get along, you will be infatuated, who will give you ......"
Listening to this song, you can feel Xu Xiaofeng's reluctance to this relationship. However, she has no regrets. Because in her heart, the motherland is more important than love.
75-year-old Xu Xiaofeng: Still charming
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Xiaofeng is 75 years old. Although she faded out of the screen and stage, she still lived a comfortable life.
In June 2023, Xu Xiaofeng was invited to participate in the "Greater Bay Area Film and Music Festival". You know what? As soon as the 75-year-old diva spoke, everyone present returned to the original era. The sword is not old!
Recently, Xu Xiaofeng also went to visit the son of Yuan Weihao, a friend who had forgotten his old age. In the photo, she is radiant and smiling. Although the years have left traces on her body, what remains unchanged is Xu Xiaofeng's always gentle and kind personality and treatment of others.
This is Xu Xiaofeng, a real superstar. She is not only powerful and charming, but more importantly, she has a sincere patriotic heart. In this era of entertainment to death, a star like Xu Xiaofeng is really rare.

"Actually, I'm more curious, if Xu Xiaofeng had chosen love at that time, what would have happened to her career? Will it shine abroad as well?"
