Personal experience

Zhang Mingmin's acting career has proved that he is a strong singer. Since his acting career began in 1979, he has been focusing on hard work and artistic excellence, striving to present the best songs and performances to his dear audience. He has received strict training from Dai Sicong, song Chi, Wei Xiuxian and many other teachers, and won their praise.

In 1984, Zhang Mingmin became a well-known patriotic singer with a song "my Chinese heart". Now, he is the executive director of a biotechnology company. In the past 20 years, he has walked an uneven road.

Mr. Zhang Mingmin has been fond of singing since childhood and has a special talent for music. Although the poverty of his family did not make him enter the music school, his enthusiasm was not cooled by the reality. With indomitable will, unyielding spirit and persistent pursuit, self-taught. In 1979, at the age of 23, he participated in the "all Hong Kong Workers' singing competition" and "all Hong Kong amateur singers' singing competition" sponsored by the Hong Kong Federation of trade unions and Radio Hong Kong, and won two consecutive championships. In the same year, his name was on the "dragon and tiger list" of Radio Hong Kong's outstanding singers, and the well-known eternal record company recorded his first personal album "country road".

Since then, Mr. Zhang Mingmin devoted himself to the work of art, and formed an indissoluble bond with the singing career. In 1982, when the Japanese Ministry of education, culture, culture, culture, and culture tampered with the history of invading China in the approved textbooks, he recorded his second album "the Chinese nation" with great national indignation, which aroused strong resonance among compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao and overseas Chinese, and won the "Golden Record Award". After that, "I am Chinese", "we have a name called China", "my Chinese heart" and other albums came out one after another, pushing his popularity to a new peak.

Huang Zhan and Wang Fuling, two famous lyric writers, wrote "my Chinese heart" full of patriotic passion for him. After the song was put into record, it sold more than one million pieces and won the "platinum record" award in 1983.

In 1984, on the occasion of the signing of the Sino British Joint Declaration, CCTV officially invited Mr. Zhang Mingmin to participate in the "1984 Spring Festival Gala" for the first time. So he took "my heart China" as the first Hongkong singer to sing Chinese mainland. This performance, which won great praise, has injected new vitality into Chinese pop music and become a new milestone in his life.

Since then, "my Chinese heart" has become more popular throughout the country. In August 1984, at the invitation of Beijing Youth Daily, as the first Hong Kong singer, he held a solo concert in the capital and held a benefit performance for the national activity of "love China and build the Great Wall". In 1988, he raised funds for the 11th Asian Games. It took him more than a year to go to 24 cities and hold 154 individual concerts, which achieved unprecedented success. So far, no singer has made a breakthrough. In 1990, he took part in the Spring Festival Gala Songs: "giving up sincerity and love in my heart", "we love this mistake".

1984 to present

From 1984 to now, Mr. Zhang Mingmin's benefit performances in the mainland are numerous: for "love China, build the Great Wall", for the disabled, for the Beijing Asian Games, for disaster relief and poverty alleviation, for the hope project, and for China's tourism. So many benefit performances are beyond the reach of ordinary singers. If we say that when eternal records company packaged him, it pasted the image of loving China on him, then gradually, this kind of love has penetrated into his skin and become his flesh and blood, his "Chinese heart". He said affectionately: "I have deep feelings for my motherland. My Chinese heart is the sum of all my feelings. When I ascended the Great Wall, facing thousands of mountains and valleys, I really felt how proud I was as a Chinese for the first time

Mr. Zhang Mingmin is not only a patriotic singer, but also an outstanding social activist. Over the past 20 years, with the help of his fame, he has done a lot of intentional social work to promote the exchange of youth between China and Hong Kong and to promote the smooth transition of Hong Kong. He is a member of the selection committee of the first and second governments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, a specially invited member of the 6th-8th Hong Kong session of the all China Youth Federation, a member of the Guangxi CPPCC, a director of the Standing Committee and director of the Publicity Department of the Hong Kong Chinese import and Export Chamber of Commerce, a consultant to the Hong Kong Youth Federation, a vice chairman of the Beijing Youth Federation, a director of the China Overseas Friendship Association, a director of the Beijing Overseas Friendship Association, and a director of the Hong Kong Progressive Youth Federation Chairman of the Committee and member of the 9th harbor people's Congress election meeting.

I can use my voice and work to promote the exchanges and cooperation between the youth of China and Hong Kong, contribute to the smooth transition of Hong Kong, the prosperity and development of China and Hong Kong, and the great cause of reunification of the motherland, which is my greatest hope Wish and joy. "

Electronic watch factory worker

Born in Hong Kong in 1956, Zhang Mingmin used to be a part-time worker in charge of an electronic watch factory in Kowloon. He has always wanted to be a singer since he was a child. He has made great efforts to become a singer. However, he has achieved little except that he won a champion of the amateur singing competition in Hong Kong at the age of 22. In 1982, an accidental opportunity made Zhang Mingmin appear on the stage as a folk singer, but he was always a small role. His life still depended on his work in an electronic watch factory.

In February 1983, the staff of the Hong Kong Youth Federation found Zhang Mingmin and wanted to record a patriotic song called "my Chinese heart". Because no suitable person had been found, they wanted to invite him to audition. Zhang Mingmin is a nobody. He thinks it doesn't matter, so he goes. As soon as he sang, he fell in love with this song deeply, and he took this song as the main theme, recorded a tape and put it on the market. At that time, he had no money and could only simplify everything. After the tape was put on the market, there was almost no response. He was very disappointed and depressed, and still worked as his professional worker and amateur singer.

Attend CCTV Spring Festival Gala

In January 1984, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited China and issued the "Sino British joint statement". The Chinese government will take back the sovereignty of Hong Kong on July 1, 1997. At that time, Huang Yihe, director of CCTV's "1984 spring Gala", wanted to invite a Hong Kong actor to the Spring Festival Gala. In order to understand the situation of Hong Kong's performing arts industry, director Huang Yihe came to Shenzhen, where he could see the programs of Hong Kong TV station. But they didn't find a suitable song.

One day, they went out by car. On the way, the driver put a tape, and the beautiful melody of "my Chinese heart" immediately sounded in the car. The more Huang Yihe listens, the more excited he is. Isn't this the song we are looking for! He quickly reprinted the tape and brought it back to Beijing to make a report to his superiors, hoping to invite Zhang Mingmin, the original singer of my Chinese heart, to Beijing to participate in the performance of the Spring Festival Gala. The report was soon approved.

Zhang Mingmin became the first Hong Kong actor to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. As a result of his performance at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Mingmin became a pop star overnight in the mainland. Although the song "my Chinese heart" didn't make Zhang Mingmin any money, he didn't care. He felt that the spiritual and political wealth brought by the song could not be measured by money.

Although Zhang Mingmin was very famous in the mainland, Hong Kong had not returned at that time. Most people could not speak Putonghua. There was no market for singers of the National Anthem in Hong Kong. Therefore, Zhang Mingmin, who became popular in the mainland by singing the national anthem, remained silent in Hong Kong. In order to live, he had to return to the electronic watch factory as a worker.

In 1990 Spring Festival Gala cover "we love this wrong.".

Singing became a sideline

In the early 1990s, Zhang Mingmin began to do business. He started karaoke halls, lounges, public relations companies and advertising companies, but they all ended in failure. After years of hard work, Zhang Mingmin has become the executive director of a biotechnology listed company in Hong Kong.

In the mid-1980s, the patriotic singer, who was popular in China, now singing has become a sideline. Zhang Mingmin said with deep feeling: "I think the reason why my life has such a big change is due to a song" my Chinese heart "

On December 19, 2014, Hong Kong society has been full of negative energy since 2014. For example, the illegal "occupy China" incident happened earlier, which makes people realize that young people in Hong Kong, growing up in a rich environment, have gradually forgotten the past and the motherland behind them. As a patriotic singer, Zhang Mingmin is worried. He consciously has the responsibility to give positive energy to Hong Kong Society and enlighten young people. He hopes to spread the news through music, trigger the idea of launching a new disc "my Chinese dream" and get the support of Meiya entertainment. Besides Hong Kong, he also plans to release it to the mainland.
