From health to disability
Zheng Zhihua was a healthy baby when he was born. However, when he was three years old, he suffered from polio due to a high fever. Due to delayed treatment, The bones are deformed and the legs are completely unable to walk. At that time, his parents took him to seek medical treatment. From the age of 3 to 9, Zheng Zhihua was treated by different doctors. He recalled, "The kind of suffering that ordinary people suffered is beyond imagination. But my dream since I was a child is to be able to run, so It doesn’t matter how hard it is.” Zheng Zhihua, who has a disabled leg, has been very smart since he was a child. “Because I couldn’t walk, I had no one to play with, so I had to learn by myself when I was 3 years old. I could already read newspapers before I entered elementary school. "When he was 7 years old, Zheng Zhihua had surgery on his leg. After almost a year of treatment, he could stand, but his legs were soft, so he needed a brace to walk.
Due to medical treatment, Zheng Zhihua went to school a year later than other children. However, as soon as he entered school, he vowed never to study again. "Because it was too boring. I would read newspapers before I went to elementary school." Later, I met a brother who was a patient and taught me functions, so I knew everything in elementary school. "At that time, he tried his best not to go to class. "Except for racing, I participated in all competitions, and then I just wanted to practice. Don’t go to class, from art, calligraphy, to speech, and work, and you must get first place, because then the teacher will let you continue to participate. This is how I passed my 6 years of elementary school.”
From singer to boss
Zhihua’s journey into music was the result of a “bet”. Around 1988, Zheng Zhihua had already developed very well in an advertising company. Once, a client needed to find a professional to write a song. Zheng Zhihua said, "I know the client best, so I wrote a trial paragraph. Sing it to the customer.” As a result, the customer was very satisfied, which made Zheng Zhihua feel that writing songs was easy and fun. He occasionally wrote two commercial songs. By chance, he met the boss of the record company. Zheng Zhihua recalled, “The boss asked me to sing it. I went to the recording studio to audition, and as I was singing, I suddenly discovered that I love this so much.”
What really prompted Zheng Zhihua to sing for 10 years was a “terrible bet.” After releasing the album "The Story of the Youngest", he was ridiculed by his colleagues. Zheng Zhihua recalled: "At that time, I signed a contract with him, saying that I would resign tomorrow and sing for 10 years. If he could find out , in the next 10 years, if I have any money that is not earned from music, I will lose and pay him two million, otherwise, he will find a five-star hotel lobby, kneel down and call me "Dad." Ten years later, Zheng Zhihua won the bet. After that, he started a new phase in his life. He came to the United States to study IT. After returning from his studies, he successfully transformed from a singer into a businessman with his own IT company. In recent years, the online games produced by his company have been doing well in the market. During the show, he said with a smile, "My ambitions are relatively big." , in addition to the entire Chinese-speaking market, I want to influence the entire world.”
From star to dad
When Zheng Zhihua was in middle school, he met a girl, and that first love has made him so happy to this day. He is unforgettable. At that time, the girl's parents objected to the two being together. After Zheng Zhihua wrote a song "Epiphyllum" for this love, he once thought about committing suicide, but then he suddenly figured out, "It can happen at any time to solve yourself." "If you die, you will give up."
Zheng Zhihua's wife happened to be the sister of his fan friend, and the two met by chance at a party. At that time, Zheng Zhihua’s wife was designing windows in a department store, and art happened to be Zheng Zhihua’s strong point. While painting, the two gradually developed a spark. At that time, Zheng Zhihua was about to retire from the music industry, and all his friends were getting married. He was very longing for a family and told his girlfriend directly, "I want a daughter."
More than a year after getting married, Zheng Zhihua really had a daughter. Although his daughter’s naughtyness made him “break down”, fortunately, her daughter is very smart like her father. “She can pose for photos when she is one year old. "I can read at the age of 3, and now I am 6 years old, I can play on the computer and look up information." As a loving father, Zheng Zhihua wrote many children's songs for his little daughter. After having a daughter, he changed from a high-ranking star. Became a nagging dad.
