Cai Qin, an ordinary girl, successfully entered the music scene with the song "Just Like Your Tenderness" and began her counterattack life. Before this, her life was the same as most of us, ordinary and ordinary.
The twist of fate occurred during a music lesson in Cai Qin. At that time, when the teacher asked the class to sing together, Cai Qin unexpectedly discovered that she had a unique talent for singing in the low register.
This discovery was like a seed that quietly took root in her heart and aroused her deep interest in music.
During her college years, Cai Qin began to sing in the corner of the campus, and her singing voice was like magic, and it soon spread throughout the campus. As a result, the name "Cai Qin" gradually became familiar to people and attracted the attention of entertainment companies.
Therefore, Cai Qin was given the opportunity to pursue her musical dreams.
Cai Qin's musical talent is outstanding. With her love of singing and unique voice, she released more than 50 records over the next 40 years, and successfully rose to prominence in the star-studded era of folk songs, becoming an indispensable member of the music scene.
Her gentle and beautiful singing voice has conquered countless listeners, so she is known as the "Velvet Queen of Songs". Cai Qin's name resounded all over the country, and in the minds of many people, she was the representative of the "Queen of Love Songs".
However, when Cai Qin's music career was booming, fate arranged an unexpected turn for her. A director named Yang Dechang suddenly broke into her life, which also brought her the biggest ups and downs in her life.
This story may start with the 1984 movie called "Childhood Sweethearts"...
In 1984, Cai Qin's singing voice was floating in the north and south of the river, and director Yang Dechang was looking for actors for his movie "Childhood Sweetheart". Yang Dechang was fascinated by Cai Qin's gentle singing voice and invited her to participate in this movie.
Cai Qin did not intend to accept director Yang Dechang's invitation at first. On the one hand, it was because Yang Dechang was still a little-known director at that time, and on the other hand, it was due to her inferiority complex deep in her heart.
Due to her mother's strict education of her, Cai Qin has always lacked confidence in her appearance, however, director Yang Dechang's sincerity and encouragement finally moved Cai Qin, and she took over the role.
In the days when the crew got along day and night, Cai Qin was attracted by Yang Dechang's charm, his maturity, stability, care and thoughtfulness, made this fledgling little girl feel the warmth different from that of a young man.
Cai Qin gradually fell into Yang Dechang's warm trap.
Cai Qin's admiration for Yang Dechang deepened day by day, even to the point of obsession. She once said affectionately, "I was fascinated by his talent, and that's why I didn't marry him."
However, when Cai Qin took the initiative to propose marriage to Yang Dechang, Yang Dechang politely rejected her on the grounds that her career had not been successful.
However, Cai Qin's refusal did not dampen her enthusiasm, but inspired her determination to support Yang Dechang's career. Cai Qin did her best to support Yang Dechang, and even used her own network resources to help Yang Dechang gain a foothold in the entertainment industry in Taiwan Province.
With Cai Qin's full support, Yang Dechang's talent made him famous on both sides of the strait with "A Day on the Beach" and gradually became a well-known director.
In 1985, Cai Qin and Yang Dechang tied the knot. However, Cai Qin's parents have a different view of the marriage. Whether a young director who has been divorced and has an uncertain future can bring happiness to their beloved daughter has always been a problem for the two.
However, Cai Qin, who was immersed in love, didn't care, she firmly chose to spend her life with the talented man in her heart.
Cai Qin entered this marriage with great expectations, looking forward to a happy life in the future. However, she never imagined that what awaited her was a painful and long "platonic" marriage, a love dream that would eventually come to naught.
Life after marriage was not as sweet as Cai Qin expected. Soon after the wedding, Yang Dechang made a surprising request: he wanted the two to maintain a "platonic marriage", that is, not to live in the same room.
The explanation given by Yang Dechang is: "Don't let your feelings be disturbed by any impurities and constraints, for the sake of a common cause, please concentrate on your work."
This request filled Cai Qin's heart with doubts and uneasiness, she hesitated and felt confused, but in the end she chose to deceive herself. She gave Yang Dechang all kinds of forgivable excuses: maybe he had unspeakable hardships, maybe he needed time to accept this marriage.
With these thoughts in mind, Cai Qin began her "platonic" married life.
In order to be a good wife, Cai Qin gradually reduced her work pressure and spent all her thoughts on family life. She learned to be a virtuous wife, preparing delicious meals for Yang Dechang at home, so that he would feel warm and comfortable when he came home.
Even if Yang Dechang needs to stay up all night in the crew because of work, Cai Qin will work tirelessly to go back and forth between home and the crew, just to deliver a hot home-cooked meal to her husband.
In his career, Cai Qin's support for Yang Dechang is all out. She is always ready with her own resources to expand her husband's network and promote the development of the film industry. She will even sing the theme song for Yang Dechang's movie for free.
With the help of Cai Qin, the talented Yang Dechang began to make a name for himself in the directorial circle and won many awards.
The flood of awards and titles is a testament to Yeung's masterpieces – 1991's "The Juvenile Homicide on Guling Street" and 1994's "Age of Independence" – and his influence in the film industry.
This brilliant achievement made Yang Dechang leap forward, and he became a high-profile director, seeing her husband's achievements, Cai Qin was very pleased, and felt honored for her husband's excellence.
However, as time passed, Cai Qin gradually felt the abnormality of this marriage. In this marriage, she can't live out in front of Yang Dechang, and the focus of her life seems to be only Yang Dechang.
In marriage, she is more like Yang Dechang's cook, nanny, movie talker, and movie theme song singer than his lover.
Cai Qin found that she couldn't open her mouth to question Yang Dechang, but when she did open her mouth, she preferred that she hadn't done it. Because she found that Yang Dechang had no guilt for his cheating in marriage, and even when facing her, the original wife, he unabashedly expressed his love for Peng Kaili and turned a blind eye to her entire ten years of dedication.
In this marriage that lasted for ten years, Cai Qin gave her all, but in the end it was empty. She dedicated her best youth to this relationship, but only got an ending of a "ten-year blank marriage".
I thought that man was her piece of heaven, but in the end he still lived up to her sincerity.
The marriage between Cai Qin and Yang Dechang has gone through ten years, and finally came to an end. When Cai Qin found out about Yang Dechang and Peng Kaili's affair, her world seemed to collapse in an instant, and the man she had loved for ten years betrayed her.
Cai Qin felt even more heart-wrenching that when she mustered up the courage to confront Yang Dechang, what she got was a heavy blow from the other party. Yang Dechang not only did not feel the slightest guilt, but unabashedly expressed his love for Peng Kaili in front of her.
He said coldly: "I am more suitable for her, we are in love" This sentence was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Cai Qin's heart.
Cai Qin was deeply betrayed and angry. She couldn't understand that she had put in so much youth and effort, but in exchange for an "inappropriate" reply. The ten-year relationship between husband and wife was easily let go like this.
Cai Qin told herself that since love is gone, let it go, this may be the best way for two people She understands that tears sometimes only make men more disgusted.
Despite her heart, Cai Qin chose to end this marriage gracefully. She told herself that the divorce only made the two strangers who were originally living together become real strangers.
However, when she saw that Yang Dechang and Peng Kaili quickly married and soon had two children, her heart was deeply pierced again.
Painfully, Yang Dechang bluntly said in an interview: "Regarding the marriage that lasted for ten years, looking back now, it seems that there is nothing left." Hearing this, Cai Qin's heart instantly collapsed and fell into depression for three years.
What she exchanged for ten years of youth turned out to be just "a blank" in her ex-husband's mouth.
The failure of this marriage devastated Cai Qin, and her personality became inferior and she was reluctant to communicate with others. For three years, she was never able to get out of this shadow.
At a Hong Kong concert, Cai Qin said with a seemingly free smile: "The marriage that should be divorced is divorced; The knife that should be opened, opened; The fat that should be reduced, reduced; New clothes to wear, worn. The audience applauded and cheered for her remarks, but they didn't know the pain in her heart.
Cai Qin understands that it is difficult to get out of the haze. Ten years of marriage finally turned into a bubble. Despite all the reluctance, that marriage is a thing of the past. The failure of this marriage made her lose ten years of youth, and also made her miss the opportunity to become a mother, which became her lifelong regret.
After experiencing the failure of her marriage, Cai Qin began a long journey of self-redemption. In 1999, at the age of 42, she bravely tried her second spring, but this time, fate seemed to play tricks on her.
Her married life was not so smooth, and her relationship with her husband was not pleasant This time, Cai Qin finally looked down on love and chose to live with her true face.
However, life did not let her guard down on Caiqin, and the following year, she was diagnosed with possible breast cancer. But fortunately, after a detailed examination, it was found that her tumor was benign.
After experiencing a blow of "the sky falling apart", Cai Qin's mentality became more optimistic, she actively cooperated with the treatment, and underwent surgery in time.
Cai Qin chose to live a simple life after her recovery, and she rarely appeared in public. Regarding remarriage, her attitude has also become indifferent, she said: "Why get married, what can you do if you get married?" This sentence reveals her disappointment and helplessness in marriage.
Until 2007, a piece of news deeply touched Cai Qin's heart again. Yang Dechang, who was over half a hundred years old at the time, died of colon cancer. The death of her ex-husband seems to evoke Cai Qin's memories deep in her heart.
Facing the media, Cai Qin said frankly: When facing death, all hatred and unwillingness dissipated.
That gentle and soft-hearted woman, after all, still can't complain about a lost person. She even said with emotion: "I knew that his life was short, I was willing to divorce him as soon as possible and let him enjoy the rest of his life." ”
This sentence not only shows her kindness, but also makes people feel a trace of regret about her past marriage.
After ups and downs, Cai Qin has a new understanding of her life. She no longer focuses all her energy on her relationships and refocuses on her career and health. This experience made Cai Qin stronger and more aware of how to cherish the current life.
Now, the 64-year-old Cai Qin has stepped out of the haze of the past and re-emitted her own light. In 2020, she appeared at an event, and in the face of the news of "death" that had been circulated, she responded humorously: "Maybe it's because I'm too popular." ”
Although her face is old, her mental state is still very good.
Cai Qin actively embraces modern life, opens a social platform, shares a healthy daily life with fans, and shows the proud vest line. She is still active on the music stage, participating in music programs and conquering audiences with her moving voice.
In addition, she actively participates in variety shows, showing a cheerful and optimistic side.
Although Cai Qin has no children, she does not feel regretful. On the contrary, she cherishes her current life more and enjoys the pleasure of music. She has a new understanding of marriage and will no longer regard it as the whole of life.
Cai Qin's story tells us that life has ups and downs, but as long as you have a positive attitude, you can still live a wonderful life. She interprets the meaning of life in a unique way, and has been moving forward on the road of music, conveying warmth through singing.
As a generation of folk song queens, Cai Qin once amazed an era with her unique charm. Today, she is still shining in her own way and continues to compose her own life chapter.
