Besides the legend of singing career, Xi Lan Xiu's marriage is also a bumpy story.
In her own words, she can write a play.
Xi Lan Xiu's husband, Jialiang Xie, was his brother's classmate when he was studying in England.
Later, my brother introduced him to my sister Xi Lan Xiu.
They fell in love at first sight and soon became lovers.
After a year of contact, the two agreed with each other and decided to step into the marriage hall.
However, this seemingly beautiful marriage was strongly opposed by both parents.
Xi Lan Xiu's mother doesn't want her to get married too early, because it is difficult to show up again after marriage, which will affect her singing career.
At that time, Xi Lan Xiu was the economic pillar of the whole family, and her mother felt that she could only fall in love and should not get married.
The bigger obstacle is the father of his lover Xie Jialiang.
Jialiang Xie is a rich boy of jewelry brand "Xie Liyuan" Jinpu, and his family background and life experience are extremely prominent.
Xie Jialiang's father has never been optimistic about the marriage between his son and the artist, and he is extremely opposed and threatened to break up.
He bluntly said that this marriage would not have a good result, and even worried that his daughter-in-law was a singer, which would affect the reputation of the family business.
He said to his son Jialiang Xie, "Artists are for dating, not for getting married!"
However, the two have made up their minds that feelings are stronger than gold. No one can dissuade them.
For parents' obstruction, they firmly replied: "We are serious!"
1979, they got married regardless.
This year, Xi Lanxiu was 29 years old.
But this unfulfilled marriage finally cost each other a lot.
Disobedient Xie Jialiang was driven out of the group company by his father, away from the life of the giants, and the relationship between father and son was completely broken.
At that time, Jialiang Xie had only 7,000 Hong Kong dollars in his body, and instantly changed from a rich boy to a poor boy.
So when they got married, they were also full of loneliness and indifference.
Both parents don't want not to attend, let alone relatives and friends.
Mother said to Xi Lan Xiu:
"If it is a truly filial daughter, don't take a dime from the family, and we don't want a dime from the man's family."
Before getting married, all the money Xi Lan Xiu earned was given to his family.
When they get married, they have the cheek to ask the owner of the wedding dress shop for sponsorship.
After getting married, the two still rent a house outside.
Under the pressure of her father-in-law, Xi Lan Xiu disappeared from public view for five years and temporarily withdrew from the entertainment circle.
"I love my career very much, but I love my husband more."
So she just insisted on making a record, not showing her face, not showing her face in public.
So at that time, we "heard the voice of Xi Lan Xiu, but not himself".
Later, people often ask her where she disappeared in those five years, which is very mysterious.
Xi Lan Xiu lost too much for this marriage, but she was also very lucky.
In the later married life, her husband Jialiang Xie did "love the country and love beauty".
Although Xi Lan Xiu didn't live a rich family life, he made himself a rich family.
Her husband, Jialiang Xie, was very supportive of Xi Lan Xiu's singing and made her stick to her music career.
During her five years of silence, Xie Jialiang often helped her organize music materials and record records.
Her husband has also become the strongest and warmest backing in her music career.
1983, Xie Jialiang's father's business was frustrated, and many people left him, leaving him alone.
When Xi Lan Xiu and her husband Jialiang Xie visited him, they were rejected several times.
At this time, Xi Lan Xiu began to reconsider his career. Fortunately, once again ushered in a turning point.
1984, Xi Lan Xiu returned to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which broke out again in an all-round way and became famous all over the world.
She is 34 years old.
Xi Lan Xiu's atmosphere and wisdom have completely changed the embarrassing marriage life.
This once unpopular marriage has completely broken all doubts, which is impressive and blessed.
Even become the "fairy couple" envied by everyone in the entertainment circle, and all this is the result of their patience and hard work.
Later, even her good friend Teresa Teng said to her enviously, "I really don't understand how you are so lucky."
Years later, Xi Lan Xiu said with emotion, "The original choice was right." .
Now, Xi Lan Xiu is 70 years old, and his age is gradually disappearing.
Although he rarely sings in public, he still insists on his favorite music career behind the scenes, keeping a low profile and plain.
Moreover, she believed in Christianity since she was a child, and often sang for social welfare and dedicated herself with her songs.
"I am a singer, and singing is all my dreams, hopes, happiness and sadness.
No matter before, now and in the future, singing is my life. "
Whenever those classic songs ring in time, the beauty and youth of countless people seem to be yesterday.
