Zheng Zhihua, Sailor: I never changed my mind. I retired for my family and released a new album at the age of 60.

On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, 2022, Zheng Zhihua, a sailor, cooperated with his friend Cui and released the new album "Dutch Proverbs" again after eight years. Why does 60-year-old Zheng Zhihua release another album?

Maybe the dream in my heart is still alive, or maybe it's just a word from my daughter, "Dad, I want to hear you sing again."

The new album uses so-called proverbs and spreads in a very colloquial form. Good listening and singing, singing the real life of grassroots people.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhihua's style hasn't changed. Although he is over 60 years old, he is just like himself.

Zheng Zhihua's childhood was not smooth sailing, and even the common word "water chaos" can be used to describe it.

Before he was born, my brother died unfortunately. Even now, people still say that he killed his brother.

When I was three years old, I suddenly had a high fever approaching 40 degrees and was unconscious several times. His parents began to take him to a small clinic for a few injections. Later, I saw that he was in poor health and a little panicked, so I quickly went to the hospital in a big city.

After professional analysis, it was finally diagnosed as "polio", which is what we often call polio.

At that time, the complications were very serious, and it was likely to be paralyzed directly.

The old couple were shocked to know the result, and the doctor also suggested that this situation could only be operated.

But at that time, the family was really poor and could not afford the money, so we had to take it back for conservative treatment.

Before long, there was something wrong with my leg and I had no money for surgery, so I had to take medicine first.

The old couple are also superstitious. They went to see the so-called "famous doctors in rivers and lakes" and ate a lot of bitter medicine.

Zheng Zhihua eats a little hard every day. He wants to eat a lot, but his leg has not improved, and it is getting worse.

Only then did I know that I had been cheated and had an operation in desperation.

Until I was seven years old, I finally saved enough money to have an operation, but from then on, I had a 16 scar on my leg and had to walk with crutches.

Finally, I went to primary school, and I was discriminated against and bullied by many people because of my physical defects.

Only one classmate wanted to play with him and finally became his best friend, but this friend died unexpectedly at the age of 16.

This incident dealt a great blow to Zheng Zhihua. Later, when he visited, he said, "His death has a great influence on me! I felt the pain of losing my life for the first time. "

Later, he was finally admitted to the university, but his parents asked him to study medicine, saying that such a job was stable and promising.

He didn't listen, so he chose civil engineering as his major. He said that he would do a job that would leave his work behind.

I met a girl I like in college. The girl doesn't care about her disability. She thinks she will be lucky and get her love.

But the reality is so cruel. The girl's family disagreed. She doesn't like Zheng Zhihua's birth and physical defects, saying how he can give his daughter a complete life.

In the end, I had no choice but to end this relationship. This breakup, I have a great sense of inferiority to myself.

Once he tried to commit suicide, leaving a 1 1 suicide note. When he saw his last suicide note, he hesitated: I have experienced so much in my life, there is nothing to be afraid of. Suicide is the stupidest act.

After this life and death, I also want to survive. After graduating from college, I found a job related to civil engineering.

At first, I felt that I was getting ahead, but the mechanical work made him feel unfulfilled.

So I resolutely resigned and found a job writing for others. This work has been done for several years.

I'm also very interested in this job, and I want to do my best in this line. Whenever he sees his handwriting on the big screen, he will tell himself that the previous efforts are worthwhile.

Later, one thing directly made him leave the industry and have a new starting point.

The company received the business of writing advertising songs for Happy Shampoo. It was not so easy to write advertising songs at the beginning, and you need to have the most basic knowledge of music theory. But at that time, Zheng Zhihua didn't know anything, even the most basic staff.

The company told him to let others do it. After all, he didn't understand anything at that time, and he was unconvinced at that time. He went directly to the boss and said I could do it myself, so the company let him try.

After returning, I began to look for various materials to supplement my knowledge of music theory.

With my own talent and hard work, I really wrote an advertising song named "super girls".

Unexpectedly, this song became popular all over the streets, and Zheng Zhihua's fame also increased greatly. The boss of a record company took a fancy to him and invited him to his own record company.

Zheng Zhihua refused at first, because he had just made his own world in the advertising industry and because he really didn't understand music theory.

In the end, the record owner tried both hard and soft and decided to give it a try.

1988 made his first album "The Story of Lao Yao" on the singer's road. Sure enough, the boss has a sharp eye, and the album became a hit at once.

1989 retired from the advertising industry, and Zheng Zhihua officially embarked on the road of singing.

1990, the third album "fallen angels" brought human compassion to a new era.

1992, this is the peak year of Zheng Zhihua, and the China Olympic delegation won 16 Olympic gold medals in Barcelona.

The organizer organized a party to celebrate the victory of Olympic athletes, and Zheng Zhihua sang "Sailor" on the field.

He said that in the storm, this pain was nothing. Dry your tears and don't ask why.

The lyrics of this sentence are related to the Olympic Games, which are held only once every four years. This song directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

In fact, the organizer didn't want him to use Sailor at that time, but he didn't listen and insisted on his own ideas.

He thinks this song is very suitable for the present environment and atmosphere. Since then, inspirational singer Zheng Zhihua has also set off a frenzy in the mainland.

In the same year, he released his own album "Light the Stars", which was also very popular.

1999, when Zheng Zhihua made a splash, he announced his retirement from the music scene. No one knows why.

This year, Zheng Zhihua got married.

His wife's name is Zhang Yuya, an outsider and a designer. They met when they were writers in Zheng Zhihua, and they were also very beautiful.

There were many people chasing him at that time, and Zheng Zhihua was one of them. At that time, I thought I had no chance, but I finally chose him.

The reason why girls like him is actually very simple. They were moved by Zheng Zhihua's talent and attitude towards life.

Later, for Zheng Zhihua, she silently quit her job and was willing to be a housewife.

But at that time, Zheng Zhihua was quite popular, and all kinds of Shang Yan kept coming. I have to fly to various places every day, and my wife is waiting for him at home without complaint.

However, as he became more and more angry, the two men could not see each other more and more, and the loving life between the young couple was gone. In the end, even eating and watching movies became a luxury.

Therefore, Zheng Zhihua felt that he could not be so sorry for his wife's support and dedication, so at the peak, he resolutely announced his retirement.

After resigning, he lived a happy life of ordinary people, picked up a brush, drew a picture, picked up a pen and wrote words.

Zheng Zhihua sent a blog post like this:

I am an unfortunate person, so I want to use my life to heal my childhood.

But I am also a lucky man. I have my own wife and daughter to spend the rest of my life with me.

Practicing calligraphy, drawing and spending time with my wife and daughter have become the happiest things after retirement. He also designed a mobile phone case for his wife. The main body of the case reads "Meet you".

There are always trade-offs in life. He chose his own love, and he chose to run his own small family. He is very lucky and happy.

In order not to disturb his daughter's life, he has been hiding his identity as a singer.

But as my daughter grew up, I slowly heard something about being a singer.

Until one day, my daughter asked, "Dad, why don't you sing?" I really want to hear you sing another song. " So, in May 2005, she officially came back.

Maybe it's to satisfy my daughter's wishes, or maybe the flame of making music never goes out.

In 2006, he released his three songs "Birds", "Between Us" and "Now in Progress", and released an album in June 1 1 and started his own music journey.

Because of his sharp words and humor, Zheng Zhihua is not only a sailor, but also a contemporary Lu Xun.

Actually, it's helpless to call it that. He also said a few words that people didn't like: at the beginning of the epidemic, some people didn't hoard food and drink, but actually grabbed toilet paper.

Laughed by Zheng Zhihua as "An Shi Rebellion".

When the epidemic needs to be isolated, someone doesn't listen to the command. This time, he directly hit the homophonic stalk:

The freedom of isolation is gone, without isolation, people are gone; Isolation. I see you, not isolation, ICU.

Many people know that his lyrics are inspirational, but they don't know that his words are so sharp, humorous and ironic, and netizens are hooked.

After eight years, at the age of 60, he was able to release his own album. He has been advancing for his musical dream and singing more about the lives of ordinary people.

Throughout his life, his songs seem to describe his life perfectly. Before getting married, Zheng Zhihua was like saying the song "Sailor": "Don't be afraid to dry your tears, this pain is nothing".

Zheng Zhihua after marriage is like "the light of the stars": "Stars in the sky, please light a lamp of hope for me".

Zheng Zhihua today is just like the song "Now in Progress" released this year:

I want to conquer my destiny. I can't stop working hard, even if my brain is tired, I must go forward bravely.
