In 1966, Tian Zhen was born in Haidian District, Beijing, his father was a soldier and his mother was a solo actor. However, as fate would have it, Tian Zhen, who was only a few months old, was sent to his grandmother's house in Junxiang Village, Mentougou District, Beijing.
When he was more than two years old, because his mother often went out to perform and could not take care of her, Tian Zhen was sent to live with his aunt in the countryside of Mentougou District.
During the days at her aunt's house, Tian Zhen and her three elder brothers fished and fought in the village, catching crickets and playing, which was the starting point of her rural life and shaped Tian Zhen's frank and stubborn character.
When she was almost eight years old, her parents took her back and sent her to Zhongguancun No. 1 Primary School in Beijing.
However, after Tian Zhen came to the city from the countryside, it was difficult for her to adapt to life here. Her wild personality makes it difficult for her to make friends and she often feels lonely. The rebellion of adolescence caused conflicts between her and her parents, and she even stole her father's money to buy a train ticket and ran back to the countryside to find her aunt.
In high school, the death of Tian Zhen's aunt brought her emotions to a freezing point, which directly led to her failure in the college entrance examination. However, during this low period, music gave her new hope.
She began to hold a small tape recorder all day long, listen to Teresa Teng's songs, and hum along, and the music seeds in her heart gradually took root and sprouted.
In 1984, 18-year-old Tian Zhen began her musical path. Initially, Tian Zhen tried to imitate Teresa Teng's style and released two albums, "Beautiful Bay" and "Nameless Little Flower", but the response was mediocre.
Until her mother Li Li suggested: "It is always someone else who imitates, and if you want to achieve a classic, you must have your own characteristics!" This sentence became a turning point in Tian Zhen's music career.
Under the opportunity of the "northwest wind" blowing in the Chinese music scene, Tian Zhen seized the opportunity and found his own unique style, singing "My Beloved Hometown" and "Loess High Slope" with a rough but delicate, high-pitched but comfortable voice, which quickly became popular, and these two songs quickly swept through the northwest of China, so that the northwest men felt the attraction of music, and everyone could sing loudly and excitedly.
In this way, Tian Zhen, who came out of the countryside, broke out of the Chinese music scene with her unique voice and style, and started her brilliant music career.
Born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1967, Na Ying has shown outstanding musical talent since she was a child, and has served as the children's leader of the Liaoning Youth Radio Choir. At the age of 16, Na Ying worked hard three times and was finally admitted to the Shenyang Song and Dance Troupe.
Affected by the luck of the time and place, she won the opportunity to be the lead singer, and at first gradually emerged by imitating Su Rui's singing vocals.
At the age of 21, Na Ying participated in the "Sunshine Cup" Young Singer Competition, singing "The Same Moonlight" and "I Found Myself", which was appreciated by teacher Gu Jianfen and became his student. In the same year, she became popular with "Shangougou", which was also selected as one of the top ten golden songs of the year in Hong Kong, China.
At the age of 22, Na Ying won the first place in the "National Outstanding Singer Competition" of the Ministry of Culture, and won the first place in the singing award in the Beijing-Tianjin-Sui "Jianpai" Singer Grand Prix held in Guangzhou.
Tian Zhen and Na Ying were Chinese music giants of the same period, and there was obvious competition in the music world, among which the song "What a Big Tree" became the fuse that triggered the fierce competition between the two sides.
As early as the Spring Festival Gala in 1992, Na Ying sang this song with other singers, but in 1993, Tian Zhen made this song into MTV and participated in the China Music TV Awards Competition, and won the award.
Since then, Tian Zhen and Na Ying have started fierce competition in the field of music, as if they are tied together by fate. In the early 90s, Na Ying received wide attention from the audience for her outstanding performance in the Asian Games fundraising gala.
In the same year, Tian Zhen also participated in the "20th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations" concert in the mid-90s, Na Ying and Faye Wong cooperated to launch "The Darkness of the Day and the Night" and "Seeing Flowers in the Fog", Tian Zhen fought back with "Wild Flowers" and "Cheers Friends", and the two even shared the Spring Festival Gala many times, each singing in 97 Tian Zhen sang "AD 1997", and in 98 Na Ying and Faye Wong jointly performed "Meet 1998".
Originally, the momentum of chasing after me was a powerful force to promote the common progress of the two, but fate seems to have another arrangement. In 2001, the China Pop Song Chart awards ceremony completely changed the relationship between the two.
Tian Zhen deservedly won the first place in the "Most Popular Female Singer" award with more than 5,000 votes, and Na Ying was second However, at the award ceremony, the award that should have been awarded to Tian Zhen was temporarily replaced by Na Ying, which caused a sensational "microphone smashing" incident.
When Tian Zhen and Na Ying were in the most fierce competition, fate played a cruel joke on Tian Zhen. In 1998, Tian Zhen was diagnosed with chronic thrombocytopenic purpura, a blood disorder with an immune system disorder that causes platelet reduction and requires long-term medication to control the condition.
However, as a singer at the peak of his career, Tian Zhen chose to go all out to fight on the stage while concealing his illness. Despite the gradual severity of her illness, she insisted on attending concerts frequently, releasing new songs, recording albums, and even showing her influence in 2007 when her 2003 film "Wind and Rain Rainbow Sonorous Rose" was selected as the Chinese women's football team anthem.
In 2004, she was also invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala solo, and she was in the limelight for a while.
However, Tian Zhen's work load was too much, which led to the aggravation of her condition. In 2007, when people thought that Tian Zhen would continue to sing popular songs in the music world, she made a shocking decision: temporarily put down her singing career and went abroad to recuperate.
This decision must have been extremely difficult for Tian Zhen. She is at the peak of her career, and the applause and cheers of the audience seem to still echo in her ears. However, health issues could not be ignored, and she had to make this painful choice.
At the same time, Na Ying's career is booming. She not only maintains the status of "big sister" in the music world, with excellent works coming out every year, but also began to get involved in variety shows. She served as a tutor on Zhejiang Satellite TV's "The Voice of China", showing her professionalism and personal charm in music.
Since then, she has participated in the second season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", and has become a well-known variety show star with the image of "that sister".
Na Ying's personality has made her get a lot of attention. Her fans love her straightforwardness, and her old partner Faye Wong also has a high opinion of her. However, some people believe that she lacks emotional intelligence and speaks without going through her brain.
Na Ying herself admits that she is quite offended, mainly because her mouth is too powerful, but no matter what others say, her status in the music world cannot be shaken.
Watching his former opponent shine in the spotlight, while he had to retreat into the background, Tian Zhen's heart must be full of mixed emotions. But for the sake of her health and to continue to pursue her dream of music, she had to temporarily leave the stage she loved.
The Chinese music scene lost a powerful singer, and Tian Zhen's life trajectory was changed by this decision. However, what Tian Zhen's own songs sing is that even in adversity, she is still "a sonorous rose in the wind", blooming with a unique brilliance.
During this period of time, Tian Zhen's silence has been in stark contrast to Na Ying's brilliance, but perhaps this is the arrangement of fate that has made the two powerful singers embark on different life paths.
Tian Zhen In the difficult years of struggling with the disease, her husband Zhang Weining has always been silently by her side, and their love story interprets the moving legend of perseverance and loyalty.
As early as 2003, Zhang Weining proposed to Tian Zhen, but she refused, but Zhang Weining did not give up his support and companionship for Tian Zhen because of this. Tian Zhen is well aware of her condition, she doesn't want to drag down her lover, and she doesn't dare to hope for happiness in the future, and there is little hope of healing.
When Tian Zhen decided to go abroad for treatment, Zhang Weining did not hesitate to give up all his work and go all out to take care of her. In the days in a foreign country, Zhang Weining's dedication and persistence deeply touched Tian Zhen, and they experienced many ups and downs together, and their emotions became more profound.
After more than two years of recuperation, Tian Zhen's body finally gradually recovered, and in 2010, in the long company of seven years, Zhang Weining's sincere feelings finally touched Tian Zhen, and the two got married in a low-key manner.
This marriage was not easy to come by, and it was full of hardships and touching.
However, fate always seems to be less merciful to Tian Zhen. Tian Zhen's condition made her unable to have children. Faced with this unchangeable fact, Zhang Weining said: "I want to be with you, that's all."
This simple and unpretentious sentence shows his deep love for Tian Zhen.
Although they do not have children, in each other's hearts, the other person is the most important person. They have experienced various difficulties in life together, and their love deeply interprets the true meaning of "never leaving and never abandoning".
Tian Zhen always felt indebted to Zhang Weining in her heart, but Zhang Weining's dedication and persistence made her feel extremely warm and happy.
Tian Zhen, who is now 56 years old, although her life is not as frequent in the public eye as before, her life is very comfortable and happy. She often posts photos of herself and her husband going out on social media, showing everyone the happy life of an ordinary person.
The love story of Tian Zhen and Zhang Weining shows the truest side of true love. Although they did not have children in their lives and even faced illness at one point, they still supported each other and bravely faced the challenges of life.
This touching love story has also become the best chapter in Tian Zhen's life.
Although Tian Zhen has retired from the music scene for many years, her music still has a very high status in the hearts of the public. Her voice is powerful and penetrating, always touching people's deep hearts.
Tian Zhen's songs are not only musical expressions, but also intangible symbols of power. When people are at a low point in life, Tian Zhen's singing is like a warm current, which can make people feel strength and hope, and have the courage to continue to move forward.
Her masterpieces such as "My Beloved Hometown", "Loess High Slope", "Wind and Rain Rainbow Sonorous Rose", etc., are still sung by people, especially the song "Wind and Rain Rainbow Sonorous Rose", which is not only the team song of the Chinese women's football team, but also the spiritual pillar of many people in the face of difficulties.
Tian Zhen's singing voice is in the same vein as her character, like a tough rose in the wind, beautiful and strong. Her story has also inspired countless people to be confused but not to give up, and to remain optimistic in the face of adversity.
Tian Zhen used his life to compose such lyrics: "What is this pain in the wind and rain, don't be afraid to wipe away your tears, at least we still have dreams." Her music and stories will be one of the most valuable assets in the Chinese music scene, lasting the impact of generations of listeners.
Although Tian Zhen no longer has new songs coming out, when people feel sad or frustrated, they still turn on their mobile phones and listen to Tian Zhen's songs. Her music is quietly empowering people to stay strong in the face of adversity.
