Singing in the storm


In July 1980, she was born in Long Island, New York, USA. This baby girl with a pair of blue eyes does not know that waiting for her will be a very tragic childhood. In memory, she has never seen her father's smiling face. On the contrary, she will be beaten up for a chance if she makes a mistake or if she sees her when her father is in a bad mood.

Once, at the age of seven, she forgot to bring the key. After school came back from school in the afternoon, my father refused to open the door for her, and the mother did not ask for it. The night was getting thicker and thicker. She cried and tired, so she squatted in front of the door and shivered in the cold wind. The sky was bright, and my father finally dragged her into the already frozen. This dark and horrible night left a strong shadow in her young mind, and after many years of recollection, she still left her with a lingering fear. The most painful, far more than that. Because the father not only tortured her, but also tortured her mother again and again. Every time she was drunk, she would use a cigarette butt and use a belt to pump. Young, she witnessed it all, because of fear and sadness, she often bit her lip.

One day, when she was once again beaten by her father for no reason, she cried and ran out of the house, went to a nearby mountain, and wanted to jump off the cliff to end her life. At this time, a warm hand blocked her in time, it was a kindly grandmother! She couldn't help but scream in the old man's arms and burst into tears. When she stopped crying, the grandmother pointed at the tree behind him and said, "It is a hundred years old tree. In my memory, it has been struck by lightning and blown by the wind. The most serious one, because of an inexplicable The mountain fire, it was burned with only a few bare branches. Every time, people thought it was dead, but soon after, it sprouted green leaves and began to sing in the wind. You see, it can enjoy the sun now, and all of us have to look up to it!" She seemed to understand and nodded, and went down the mountain behind her grandmother. The next day, my grandmother took her who liked music, went to an audio-visual store, bought a few old records, and this kind of jazz music with a strong atmosphere made her suddenly fascinated. If I am drunk in music, it is only at such a moment that she can forget the misfortunes in real life. Soon, she began to show her innate musical talent, and began to participate in a series of singing competitions from the age of 8. At the age of 10, she has already sang the national anthem at the club in Pittsburgh. At the age of 14, she became the most attractive girl in the Mickey Mouse Club. However, just because she is so outstanding, the students began to squat and crowd her out. Once, she went to the dance class, and when she came back to wear shoes, she felt that something was wrong. There was actually a dead frog in her shoes! She was so scared that she screamed, but the students clapped their hands and sighed. In the midst of the crash, she suddenly remembered the tree on the mountain, so she calmly smashed the frog and took the bag back home. The classmates looked at each other and felt very boring. No one ever teased her anymore.

In 1998, Disney Company filmed a cartoon that reflected the ancient Chinese character Mulan, but could not find the right person to sing the theme song. When they found the famous Mickey Mouse Club, she volunteered to sing a favorite song in front of everyone. I heard that the 18-year-old girl could sing a high-pitched "E" scale, and the producer was immediately impressed by her voice. Next, in just two days, they recorded the classic song. Once launched, it has stepped into the forefront of the most popular singles charts, and has also been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for "Best Movie Original Songs." This girl with a deep high voice finally became famous.

Life can never be smooth sailing. In the days that followed, she encountered a betrayal of a lover, because the lyrics were ridiculed by fans, and so on, but every time, she could bite her teeth and continue to perform her favorite singing career. Passing through the storm, she won the Grammy Award four times. As the singer of the song, she first involved the screen debut "burlesque", which has reached 90 million US dollars at the global box office, won three Golden Globe nominations and became One of the highest-selling movies in the history of song and dance in recent years, she is Christina from the United States. In the face of the flowers and applause that followed, this frustrated girl often smiled and said: "Like the grandmother said that there is no way to avoid the wind and rain, standing in the same place sighing or complaining, will not help, It’s better to be a tree without tears and sing in the storm!”
