She hopes to build a temple someday, where a group of people who are not monks but are better than monks will live.
They are simple and kind, and in addition to doing some piecemeal work together and eating simple meals, they will each cultivate their own afterlife.
Like in the movie Gonzo, they chant, eat and meditate on time. This is the beautiful dream that she can imagine and always long for.
In March 2022, the new crown epidemic spread across the country again, with Jilin becoming the hardest hit.
On March 15, Han Hong retweeted a microblog from the Han Hong Foundation, writing, "Do your best!"
In the announcement, Han Hong Foundation, according to the actual situation of the epidemic in Jilin, assessed the social needs, and quickly set up the "Han Hong love to support the Jilin" project team, donated 5 million yuan worth of anti-epidemic materials, including: 10 ambulances, 10 nucleic acid sampling vehicles, N95 masks and disposable medical surgical masks 1.15 million, and so on. The project team donated 5 million yuan worth of epidemic prevention materials, including: 10 ambulances, 10 nucleic acid sampling vehicles, 1.15 million N95 masks and disposable medical surgical masks.
In the end, Hanhong Foundation specially emphasized that this project does not openly raise money from the community.
On the evening of March 17, Han Hong called out to the students of Changchun University, encouraging everyone to hold on, the dawn is just ahead, "still want to eat what delicious, tell me, I and Han after the public welfare team of star volunteers brothers and sisters to find ways to transport you over, there are a lot of food on the way, will soon arrive ..."
In the end, Han Hong Foundation specially emphasized that this project will not raise money for the public. ..."
Every time there is a disaster, Han Hong is always at the forefront, but doing public service for nearly 20 years, she is a little afraid.
Fear of being mistaken for "show", fear of gossip. But think about it, if you really do something good, be misunderstood, so what?
Even if she was vilified again and again, she never said much.
The aggression is always with her, and the longer she does public service, the more words she saves, and the more she has no place to talk about them, so she has to write them in her music.
She said, every song is not just written, "If you really want to know me, then please open my record. Every song is a word to myself and to everyone else."
At a recent reunion, Han, 50, got herself slightly drunk.
That night, under the influence of alcohol, she improvised a song.
The first time I saw the movie, I was able to get it out of my head.
Hi, I'm Han Hong
A song
Hi, I'm Han Hong
An ordinary singer
Years I just like to sing
......
Those who struggle
Those who don't know the reason for the sadness
Can't tell you
The song was written by a man who is a member of the Chinese Communist Party, who is a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
......
Hey, those unspecified rhymes
In what way are you
......
You know, I'd like to forget about me
In the world of purity, to be a child. world Be a childish child
......
Shortly after, the song was titled "Old Han" and went online on all major music platforms. The album cover is a piece of calligraphy signed by Han Hong, which is paired with a photo of her as a young girl.

Han Hong wanted the song, which expresses her heart, to be heard by more people. But she, who has always hated doing publicity, refused all media interviews.
On March 4, in a video lasting 11 minutes and 37 seconds, Han Hong told the story of the creation of "Old Han".
"...... In the face of some of the things I've done and my stubbornness and my obstinacy, some people say yes, some people say no ...... I accept all the evaluations others have made of me... ...I've been arrogant, I've been obnoxious, but today's old Han, basically close to living to understand ...... I've offended a lot of people, I refuse to lie ......"
"Maybe after this video was recorded today, I disappeared again, and I started to go and shut my mouth again and not speak, but I tell all of you who see this video ...... when you need it, Lao Han will definitely appear, and when our country meets with a disaster, I will definitely appear on the front line ......"
The camera shows Han Hong sitting in front of a piano in a black shirt. In this improvisation, she pushed her glasses nine times, closed her eyes more than 20 times, and choked several times.
She said she was shaking. For more than a decade, in the face of the outside world denigrating words, Han Hong accepted in full, "but it does not mean that they do not care."
Her consistent response has been to remain silent, but still with anger.
That's true of singing, and it's also true of doing charity work.
In 2021, heavy rains in Henan Province caused serious damage in many areas. On July 24th of the same year, Han Hong sent a message to thank her friends who accompanied her to Henan to help with the disaster, including Wang Yibo.
This caused some netizens to question. Some said that the two participated in the disaster relief was for show as a way to raise awareness.
Ironically, one of the comments on a story that received high praise was: Han Hong and Wang Yibo need to rely on hype to raise awareness? How can you say that.
Doing public service and being criticized, Han Hong is not surprised.
Some of the ill-will of unknown origin has greeted her years ago.
Some people have been trying to get her to do the right thing, but they've been trying to get her to do the right thing, and they've been trying to get her to do the right thing, and they've been trying to get her to do the right thing.
In order to avoid this offensive online environment, Han Hong once wanted to cancel her account. To no avail, she had to be patient and spend several days deleting the past developments one by one.
For more than a decade, the controversy has been intermittent, but Han Hong has never let go of her passion for public service. She defines herself as a "public service person", and believes that "the identity of the singer can make money, can live", but not a career.
She feeds the public good with the art of music.
In an interview seven years ago, Han Hong revealed that she had donated more than 10 million yuan to the public welfare, almost emptying her own money.
Han Hong
People who hate her are rumor mongering everywhere. Those who love her are always by her side.
The comment section of Old Han brings together fans of all ages, and many post-00s have also expressed their support and love for her.
Han Hong is a truly gifted singer.
She has another name, Yang Jin Zhuoma. Han Hong spent an unforgettable time on the banks of the Rikaze River in Tibet. All her memories of her hometown came from that brief few years of life experience. She wrote it into a song and chanted it frequently.
In September 1971, Han Hong was born in Chamdo, Tibet, into a family with a strong artistic background. Her father, Han Dejiang, originally from Dezhou, Shandong Province, went to Tibet to join the army and became a comedian in the army. Her mother, Yongxi, is a Tibetan singer, known for singing "On the Golden Mountain of Beijing".
Perhaps inspired by her family environment, Han Hong showed her musical talent from a young age. She started singing at the age of 3, and at the age of 5, she took the liberty of going onto the stage where her mother was performing, trying to sing with her and getting beaten up for it.
As for singing, Han Hong was not supported by her mother. As a young girl, her voice was not in good condition, and according to Yong Xi, it was "low and coarse", so she didn't recommend her daughter to take the path of singing.
At school, Han Hong was also not recognized. The teacher organized the chorus, need to select the voice of the students as the lead singer, the turn of Han Hong try to sing, a sentence is not yet finished, was called off.
When she was a child, Han Hong (left)
At the age of six, Han Hong's father died, and her mother was often too busy with performances to take care of her. When no one came to pick her up after school and she didn't know her way around, she recognized a child who lived in the same house and followed the mother and child home.
Han Hong has told the media more than once that she didn't have a happy and complete childhood.
When she was nine years old, her mother remarried, and she embarked on a train to Beijing alone, where she began to live with her grandmother.
Han Hong remembers spending three days and nights on the road. The train passed through the caves from time to time, and it was so dark that she covered her eyes in fear at a very young age.
This has become a fear that has always accompanied her, and at the age of 40 in an interview, she claimed that now "I still have to cover my eyes when I take the train through the cave."
When she landed in Beijing, Han Hong lived in a small hutong on the third street of Fresh Fish Pass. She received all her family education from her grandmother, and the only person she cared about most was her grandmother.
Han Hong and her grandmother
In the days when they were dependent on each other, her grandmother sold popsicles to pay for her granddaughter's education and life.
Han Hong hid in the house every day, from morning to night singing, sometimes grandmother called her lunch, can not care.
At the age of 15, Han Hong bought her first guitar, and never touched this instrument, she played the tune accurately.
In addition, other types of musical instruments to the hands of Han Hong, also play to turn. Surprisingly, she has never been able to read music, "but the harmonies written are standardized."
In her early years, Han Hong formed two bands with some young people who also liked music. They performed in concert halls, with Han Hong as the lead singer, "earning 30 dollars a night." With such an opportunity, Han Hong continuously polished her singing skills.

Later, she was honored to study under composer and conductor Tan Dun.
After a few encounters, Tan Dun once lamented to her, "I don't know how to teach a gifted child, but I can see one thing, you will become a master if you work hard at conducting and composing."
In fact, since childhood, the talented Han Hong, the road to fame is full of twists and turns.
No one was willing to give her a chance. Starting from the age of 16 when she joined the competition, Han Hong spent 11 long years of hibernation. In order to become a singer, she participated in various types of singing competitions, and each time she got the evaluation: singing can be, image almost.
Some people even told her to "dig her eyes and pad her nose" to change her appearance.
The first time Han Hong became famous was when she appeared on the CCTV talk show Half the Sky, where the theme was "Don't worry about your looks".

Han Hong disagrees. Even though she was repeatedly discouraged from previous competitions because of her size and appearance, she never felt inferior because of it. Hearing the theme given by the program team, Han Hong at first refused to go on the show, but later thought that she could use this opportunity to let more people know herself, she was still very happy to sit in front of the camera.
"If you were someone else, you would have thought, well, why don't you do something else? I'm not, I like challenges." Unconvinced, Han Hong decided to die to the end.
A competition, the failure of Han Hong was off-stage a troop leader, invited her to join the ranks of the communications soldier, responsible for the troops to do amateur propaganda. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to the public, and the company's mission is to provide the best possible service to the public.
In the army, her love of music was appreciated by the leadership, and she was able to write songs regularly and teach her comrades to sing.
During this period, she secretly enrolled in 11 army groups, but was always rejected because of the image problem.
She was a very persistent singer, and she was always rejected because of her image.
The grandmother saw Han Hong's desire for music, and in order to help her embark on this path, she saved more than 20,000 yuan to Han Hong, encouraging her to do her own songs.
So, in 1995, Han Hong's first music video "Himalaya" was born, which later won the first place in the bronze medal of the CCTV music TV competition.
With some recognition, Han Hong was signed to a record label, and in 1998, at the age of 27, she released her first solo album, "Snowy Light", which formally launched her career as a rookie singer. Afterwards, she released albums such as "Awake" and "Red".
In 2003, she opened her first solo concert, and even invited her mother to sing "Beijing's Golden Mountain" on the same stage, which was a great success.
Han Hong and her mother
After that, Han Hong became "arrogant". In her first year of fame, Han Hong said confidently in an interview, "I will be the best female singer in China."
On the "arrogance" of the performance, she has also summarized this way, "those two years I really can not find the north. Wearing big sunglasses, people call you and ignore you. The first time I went out to the fans to sign autographs and so on, a bunch of assistants blocked it."
Grandma saw her state, and repeatedly reminded her not to be too proud, Han Hong did not listen to, still at ease.
Han Hong's grandmother
In 2005, her grandmother died of a sudden illness. Han Hong's "world went dark".
"At that time to take the award back in order to hold it to her, her joy, pride so that I have the motivation to continue to fight, after she left, you take so many awards, so good, to whom?"
She became very thin and suffered from depression. In those two years, Han Hong put off all the work, refused to socialize, and went out wearing only black clothes. It was also at that time that she learned to smoke.
After her grandmother's death, Han Hong felt like a sponge drifting on the sea, with no shore to rely on. Starting from the age of 9 living with her grandmother, she became almost everything to her. The money she earned from singing in the opera house was handed over to her grandmother, and after she became famous, she continued to give more money to her grandmother, hoping that the family, consisting of her grandmother and herself, would become better and better.
Han Hong
The bad state of affairs continued for three years. Not singing, not listening to music, and not daring to move the pen. Three years after her grandmother left, she finally wrote her first song, called "The Power of Love", as an expression of her thoughts about her grandmother.
Han Hong has revealed that the recording process of this song was extremely difficult, "I couldn't sing because I was crying all the time."
After that, the girl, who had been underappreciated, took the memories of her grandmother and insisted on walking down the road of music.
Her voice, loved by more and more people, concerts are hard to find. 2014 December 31, Han Hong opened a concert in Beijing Capital Stadium. On New Year's Eve, 8,000 audience seats were almost full.
Immediately after that, on January 2, 2015, Hunan TV started the third season of "I am a singer". Han Hong, who participated in the competition, won the championship by virtue of her strength and became the only female singer.
In the 2022 Spring Festival Gala, Han Hong sang on stage. A song "so many people in this world", not only sang and cried himself, but also sang and cried in front of the screen of many viewers.
Now, the grandmother has been away for many years, Han Hong has long since ceased to be the "arrogant" appearance.
She could not forget her grandmother's dying words, "Dahong ah, you must save the suffering."
Han Hong did not understand her grandmother's intention to say this, but in order to fulfill her grandmother's "last words", she embarked on the road of public welfare, a do, is more than 10 years.
Han Hong has a habit of never daring to do a physical examination, for fear of checking out any problems.
"When people don't know they have a disease, there is a breath of top." She said.
When she was busy, Han Hong had only four hours of sleep a day, and after breakfast at 5:00 a.m., she set off with her team to do charity work in remote places such as Tibet, Qinghai and Guizhou.
In 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake, she took a team of four people five into five out of Wenchuan, insisted on going to the scene in person, the money and supplies into the hands of the victims, the team, then known as the "five tiger generals". By the time the fifth time into Wenchuan, the team has expanded to more than 20 people.
Han Hong in Wenchuan
Han Hong recalled, into the Wenchuan, into the eyes of the first scene is, "a child's leg on the wall has collapsed," she can not wait to fear and sadness, followed by the firefighters to clean up the bodies and rescue the victims of the siege.
After the Wenchuan trip, Han was unable to get out of the emotion of the time, often remembering images of death, injury, and tragedy, and eventually underwent two to three months of counseling before gradually improving.
In 2010, a mudslide occurred in Zhouqu, Gansu Province, and Han Hong still led the team to the scene to rescue.
These actions were criticized by some as "showboating", but Han Hong has always believed that her heart is not guilty. She said that she is doing public service with her life.
In the Wenchuan area, the aftershock occurred, a stone bigger than the van rolled down, almost smashed into the car where Han Hong was; on the way to Zhouqu in Gansu, the car suddenly tipped over, and Han Hong rolled out six or seven meters with the car.......
In 2011, the "Han Hong Love, Hundred People" campaign was launched, and it is the first time that Han Hong has been involved in this campaign. After the establishment of the public welfare team "Han Hong love 100 people medical assistance", she led the well-known hospitals in various fields of medical experts, to Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and other places, for the local poor residents to provide public welfare medical assistance.
In 2015, after the "Hundred People Aid Qinghai" activity, Han Hong knelt down and thanked the crowd
As this series of public welfare actions were recognized by more people, more and more volunteers joined in, and in May 2012, Han Hong launched a charity foundation named after herself to provide public welfare services to disaster-stricken areas and special groups. The company's website has been updated with the latest information on the company's website.
Over the years, she has never been absent in front of some major disasters.
But fundraising has never been easy, and ever since she started her career, Han Hong has often faced the problem of not being able to raise money. In one of the interviews, she mentioned that if there is no money to do charity work, she will take people to the Great Wall to pick up garbage.
At the beginning of 2020, when Wuhan's new crown epidemic was in full swing, Han Hong actively docked with major hospitals in Hubei, and delivered supplies to medical staff in a timely manner. A local medical worker said that the first batch of masks, protective clothing and other supplies were received soon after the external claim of the need to rush to help. And that batch of supplies, came from Han Hong.
In the 2021 Henan rainstorm, and the 2022 Xi'an epidemic, Han Hong always threw herself into the scene as fast as she could.
Recently, Jilin was in an emergency situation due to the epidemic. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers, and the company's goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers, and to provide the best possible service to its customers, and to provide the best possible service to its customers.
The so-called danger, almost not in the scope of her considerations, Han Hong thought, only the disaster scene, only the first line.
For more than a decade, Han Hong's life seems to be only two things, one for singing, one for public welfare.
As she said herself, every song contains her attitude and story.
In the album "Awake" released in 2001, there is a song called "Daybreak". Upon its release, this song won the Best Public Service Song of the Year Award and the Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year.
The story behind it is a moving one.
In 1999, a cable car running in the Maling River Scenic Area in Guizhou suddenly fell, and in the nick of time, Mr. and Mrs. Pan Tianqi in the car, lifted their two-and-a-half-year-old son up high. In the end, the child called Pan Zihao only suffered minor injuries, while his parents died.
A disaster that left Pan Zihao an orphan.
When Han Hong learned of this, she adopted Pan Zihao and named him Han Houhou. She hoped to pour all the love she missed during her childhood into this child.
Han Hong and Han Houhou (right)
She went on to adopt more children, sponsoring their education and lives.
Her commitment to charity seems to have become an integral part of her life.
Now in her fifties, Han Hong remains a childlike figure, honest, truthful, and outspoken, though sometimes criticized for it.
One year, when she was a guest judge on a talent show, Han Hong was angry at a contestant who lied to her face. Several other judges and the audience looked on in disbelief.
Later, some people have made inquiries about this matter, Han Hong indignation: not accustomed to false, lying people.
Han Hong has always been such an anachronistic looking person. She can't get along with a lot of people, and she's not used to a lot of the status quo.
In today's music market, making an album is a money-losing business. But Han Hong still insisted on making a record of her songs, even if it doesn't make money. "I think that's a kind of reverence and loyalty to music."
Talking about the reasons why there are fewer classic songs in today's music industry, Han Hong said bluntly, "All want to go to the money, the music is not far away from you?"
Han Hong
Many years ago, Han Hong mentioned a past event.
She said, master Tan Dun treasured a very slim and beautiful red baton, has not been willing to use. Until the day she worshipped her master, kneeling on the ground to ask him to drink tea, Tan Dun suddenly handed the baton to her, saying:
"How could I have not expected that the baton, which had been saved for more than ten years, would eventually be given to you, and that you were still called Han Hong."
Han Hong took the hand and saw two lines of text written on it, one was the signature of the master, and the other sentence was: good people, good songs, good Han Hong.
