From the time I was in school to now, this song "Sailor" has endured for a long time. Whether it is chicken soup for the soul or exciting encouragement, it will appear in my mind from time to time.
Today, we will talk about the story of singer Zheng Zhihua.
01
He was born in a very ordinary family. In fact, his name also has a lot of origin. It is said that his mother met a high monk before giving birth to him.
If it was a boy, he would be named Zhihua. Sure enough, not long after, a boy baby was born.
But fate did not befall this little baby. When he was 2 years old, he contracted polio due to a fever. His parents rushed him to the hospital but it was too late.
Zheng Zhihua, who cannot walk yet, can only rely on crawling to have fun every day. Whether it is eating or painting, he can only crawl.
The comments and ridicules from his peers never stopped. Fortunately, when he was 7 years old, he received corrective surgery on his legs, and then he slowly stood up.
He officially entered school when he was 9 years old, but this caused quite a stir. Because he had to use crutches, he was often bullied in class.
At that time, Zheng Zhihua often stayed alone in a small corner because he was isolated and helpless. He doesn’t communicate with others and has very low self-esteem.
But as time slowly passed, Zheng Zhihua also ushered in his rebellious period. Because he was different from others, his rebellion became more fierce.

He doesn’t understand why his body is different from others. He hates living on crutches day after day, and even blames his parents for giving birth to him.
He was dismissed by the principal for playing truant due to being tired of studying. His parents here were very sad and disappointed, but Zheng Zhihua over there felt very happy in his heart.
But I have to say that Zheng Zhihua’s calligraphy is quite good. After all, people will only pay special attention to things that interest them.
After finally getting into a junior college, Zheng Zhihua chose civil engineering, which was actually very different from his parents’ expectations.
It is precisely because of Zheng Zhihua’s calligraphy works that he attracted a large number of beautiful girls who wanted to confess their love to him. Among them was a very kind and simple girl.
Zheng Zhihua also fell in love with her at first sight, but their relationship was soon known by their parents and met with strong opposition. Zheng Zhihua even thought of committing suicide. Before committing suicide, he wrote a song, It was later called "Don't Cry, My Favorite Person".
After being exposed to engineering careers, Zheng Zhihua joined an advertising company. Although I have never been in this field, I am interested in it.
With enough interest, the fighting spirit will come.

At that time, Zheng Zhihua could see his advertising slogans on the street, and was even called an "advertising genius" by Taiwan's advertising circles.
But at this point, I haven’t explained how he became a singer. In fact, this is inseparable from advertising.
At that time, a "Happy Girl" advertising song he composed became an instant hit, and he had the idea of ??writing a song.
Faced with the persuasion and doubts of people around him, Zheng Zhihua began to enjoy creating in a sea of ??various melodies. He loved music.
That's it, whether it's "Sailor" or "Star Lights", although life has brought many traumas to Zheng Zhihua, he still expresses his persistence in life in his songs.
In fact, when "Sailor" became popular, Zheng Zhihua was already 31 years old.
Seven years later, Zheng Zhihua held a farewell concert to announce his intention to bid farewell to the music industry. In fact, many people cried at that concert. Including himself.
Later, he went to the United States to learn IT technology. After returning to China, he opened a company. Now he is accompanied by his wife and daughter, and his life is very happy.
In fact, looking back now, Zheng Zhihua has been changing his life with his own strength. Even if God didn't give me a perfect body, I can still live a beautiful life of my own.
