At one time, the girl's song provoked countless netizens' ****ing, and the video was forwarded rampantly online.
Some people commented, "Her singing voice is like heavenly music," while others lamented, "It's as if I saw myself from that weak figure and ethereal voice."
In just one day, the video's broadcast volume exceeded 3 million, the singer Ren Yue Li also completely fire, netizens affectionately called her "Xidan girl".
The fire of this video also completely changed the fate of Ren Yue Li.
After 13 years, the usual "Xidan girl" how, these years she went through what?
It all started with a capricious "running away from home"......
Ren Yue Li was born in 1988 in a poor family in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province.
The father had an accident when he was young and was disabled in both legs.
Mother is congenitally mentally retarded, unable to communicate with others, to the point that even Ren Yue Li is often unrecognizable.
Because of her mother's special physical reasons, Ren Yue Li from the beginning of the birth, it is constantly by the grandmother to raise.
School time, because the family has no money, every time to pay tuition, Ren Yue Li have to delay for several days, and for this reason is often punished by the teacher.
But, the house is not even rain, in the Ren Yue Li read the first year, the disaster once again came to this overflowing disaster of the family, first of all, his mother had an accident, was seriously burned, not long after the most pain in her grandmother also had a stroke.
Fourteen-year-old Xiao Yue Li had to drop out of school to take up the family's heavy burden.
In order to support the family, there is no skill Xiao Yue Li, can only go to the left near the small hotel, welding factory, printing factory to do hard labor, every month there are two to three hundred dollars in wages, but basically can not support the family's life.
The fate of the blow and the life of the hopeless, so that the small moon every day in the disintegration of the edge, she even wanted to die a hundred, swallowed nearly a hundred tablets of Anacin.
The good thing is that her family found her in time and rushed her to the hospital, where she survived.
It is said that people who have died once are no longer afraid of the world's storms, and so is Ren Yue Li, from the death line, she resolved to live well and work hard to earn money.
In 2004, 16-year-old Ren Yue Li defied her family's objections and sneaked out of her home to get on a bus to Beijing ...... At this time, she will not know that this resolution will change her life ......
Just arrived in Beijing. Because there is no education, no technology, Ren Yue Li can only go to the restaurant dry waiter.
Ben thought to do a full month will be able to receive 1000 yuan of wages, but the boss is a variety of reasons, deducted her wages. In the end, not only was she not paid a dime, but she was also kicked out.
Lost Ren Yue Li walked alone on the cold and quiet streets, feeling that I was discarded by the world. Just when the heart is incredibly disappointed, she passed an open channel, when there was a drifting singer singing, Ren Yue Li found that the pedestrians passing by will put a few dollars to him.
Ren Yue Li in the channel stopped to look at the 2 hours, the male singer enough to earn a few dozen dollars, which can be more than I dry waiter earned more.
Ren Yue Li, who has loved singing since she was a child, had an idea that she would learn from a master and then come to the open channel to sing.
Ren Yue Li is very talented, after a period of practice, she was able to play and sing by herself. After the master, the bold Ren Yue Li began to go to the open channel to sing.
Every morning at six or seven o'clock, Ren Yue Li from the rented house, and then ride a bicycle for more than an hour, to the high traffic channel, she began to sing. 60 songs is a round, sing a round, and then come to the next round, up to a day can sing six or seven hours.
Ren Yue Li always picks the most popular and touching songs to sing. At that time, the most lucrative ones were "About Winter", "Love Song 1990" and "Over the Fire", which absorbed a lot of listeners every time they sang them.
These people, some listen to the end of the walk, some will be "rewarded", then she can earn up to fifty or sixty dollars a day, a month down to about a thousand dollars of income.
In order to save money, Ren Yue Li every day meals are very simple, two steamed buns a bag of squash is a meal, eat a bowl of 5 yuan of noodles are simple, even the most 10 yuan a day meal money.
In addition to the cost of food and rent of 300 dollars a month, Ren Yue Li can have a few hundred dollars left over, she will send all of this money back home, barely able to feed their families.
But the days of singing are not good, the summer is good, in winter, the days of the most difficult, every day Ren Yue Li's hands will be
frozen unconscious, so that are frozen out of the nose, dripping to the mouth to know.
Because of the income is not much, life is difficult, many wandering singers finally gave up this road, but Ren Yue Li constantly insisted, over and over again, singing the most popular songs, this persistence is a full four years.
Eventually, this persistence rewrote her destiny.
December 2008, Ren Yue Li, as usual, sitting on the speaker playing and singing "angel wings", in the harsh environment of the channel, her voice is flawless and magic.
At that time, a netizen named "non-me non-me" happened to pass by the channel, perhaps empathy, Ren Yue Li's singing voice heard him in tears.
Then, he took out his cell phone and shot a video, he and Ren Yue Li did not expect, in the era of the network is not prosperous, this video will burst into flames.
With the increase in the number of video broadcasts, Ren Yue Li has become popular as a wandering singer, and netizens have named her "Xidan Girl," a name that has spread throughout the Internet in just a few days.
Major media seized the opportunity, numerous to Ren Yue Li issued invitations, a variety of interviews and performances also come and go, at the same time, "fame and fortune" is also like snowflakes to Ren Yue Li fly.
Surely from the poor, but these did not faint Ren Yue Li's mind, under the fame, she worked harder to practice songs, she thought that the song to practice well in order to live up to the netizens on her favorite.
In 2009, Ren Yue Li on the talent show stage, participate in the Oriental satellite TV's "refueling! Oriental Angel", and achieved a good ranking of eighth place in the national finals.
In 2010, Ren Yueri signed up to participate in the "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala", and after netizens voted for her, she appeared on the 2011 Spring Festival Gala as a grassroots representative.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Ren Yue Li sang her own song "Homesickness".
Home is our harbor, wandering in Beijing, no one wants to go home more than them.
Ren Yue Li with my own story, my true feelings, once again moved the national audience, a song "homesick" touched the hearts of thousands of travelers.
Subsequently, Ren Yueri's value soared, a variety of commercial activities should be a full time, the appearance fee once rose to 100,000 yuan. RenYueLi come to all, a year to receive hundreds of venues for, sometimes a day to run a few cities.
Ren Yue Li finally do not have to worry about money, she also bought a set of more than 200 square meters in her hometown of Zhuozhou, a large house, after my efforts, she moved from the ragged bungalow to the high-rise district.
She also bought her father a scooter and built a new house for her family. She also had the courage to go shopping in department stores and began to learn how to disguise herself.
After many years of hard work, the best of all possible worlds, Ren Yue Li finally no longer inferiority complex, she even dared to take the initiative to confess to the constant accompaniment of my side of the Li Gang, harvested a wonderful love.
From the drifting singer on the Spring Festival stage, from the grassroots into a well-known singer, which about many people, this has been very triumphant, but Ren Yue Li is still struggling.
In 2012, Ren Yue Li launched her debut album "Xidan girl", for this album she spent a lot of effort. However, the market response after the launch was mediocre.
More over, some people actually started someone to attack Ren Yue Li, saying that she has no real skills, is a halfway out of the fluke.
That's how it is in the entertainment industry, you get red fast and you get cold fast.
The beginning of 2013, popularity is no longer Ren Yue Li is into a career bottleneck, can not receive large-scale commercial activities, can go to some of the platter of small performances, or private weddings and so on.
In 2014, Ren Yueri slowly fade out of people's vision, after simply laying low, people have forgotten that I had moved the "Xidan girl".
Ren Yue Li was recently presented in the mass field of vision, or Wuhan epidemic outbreak, when her name, presented in the Han Hong Foundation's donor list.
Many netizens realized that Ren Yueri, who disappeared from the singing stage, did not fall into despair, but won a big victory in another category.
Originally, in the face of the fact that the "out of fashion", the strong Ren Yue Li did not give up, since it can not go farther on the road of music, then change a direction.
In 2015, Ren Yueri and a few friends discussed the resolution to go from business, they joined forces to develop a toothpaste, Ren Yueri mainly serve as the work of product promotion.
On the box of Ren Yue Li's company there is a sentence: I want to be China's next Dong Mingzhu, so that the world fell in love with China made!
From this sentence can be seen as the ambitions of Ren Yue Li, although it is still far from the achievements of Dong Mingzhu, but she did win.
Ren Yue Li and others developed toothpaste, once listed on the public's favorite, and even repeatedly off the market, a short period of time entrepreneurial victory Ren Yue Li was impressed by a number of business bigwigs.
The idol Dong Mingzhu and her cordial photo and praise her, Pan Shiyi is so praised Ren Yue Li: "to all do not rely on parents of entrepreneurs to pay tribute!"
With her own brand of toothpaste, Ren Yueri also appeared on the electronic screen in New York's Times Square, once becoming a shopping mall newcomer.
Ren Yue Li's victory was exposed, many people rumored that she relied on selling toothpaste had earned 100 million, about this rumor Ren Yue Li never took the trouble to explain, but continue to focus on doing my own brand.
In 2016, Ren Yue Li's toothpaste brand was bought at a high price of 60 million, and she completely faded out of the mass field of vision.
Ren Yue Li in the past, just occasionally will participate in some programs. In addition, she was born in poverty, after the victory did not forget to give back to society, these years she is constantly engaged in public welfare activities, for the disaster areas and poor regions to collect donations, and so on.
In the era of short-form video, Ren Yue Li also opened her own jittery number. She has been updating her funny videos and documenting her ordinary life as a normal person, and her life is simple but happy enough.
Many people say that Ren Yue Li's victory is mostly from fluke, but her efforts can not be ignored, as
Einstein once said: "There is no such thing as luck, the most occasional accident, are also inevitable."
Particularly in the face of the fact that "out of fashion", she did not chagrin, did not complain, but a different way, and ultimately created their own business road.
No complacency at the peak, no abandonment at the trough, this is the most valuable quality of her body.
