Do you have an idol? Would he always been at a loss when he faced the entertainment reporter’s shot? Did he ever hold an concert for his fans use his own money? Did he set up his own public welfare fund to help the children in poverty-stricken mountainous areas? Is there nothing expect singing in his world? If he ever vomiting during the rehearsal, only for a short show? Do you know? Each idol has a long and tough road to be famous, we may never know about that. I know an idol like that, now I’ll show you about his road to fame. His name is Zhang Jie.

Ten years ago, 2004.
That year, he was 22 years old. He stood on the draft stage with his youth dream. With good singing skills, he won the match. When he received the trophy from his idol, Xueyou Zhang, a very influential big brother in Chinese music circles, he had been dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe all the things happen to him that day. After that, he signed a contract with a large record company. Do you think he would become famous soon or become rich soon? No, no, no… All the things are different, no longer after he signed, the executives has changed. He became a singer that nobody cared about him. He had his own records but with no propaganda, and no activity let him to go. He is a signed singer! But he had to go work only by bike, find activities by himself. He comes from a normal family, his parents are not rich, even much poor. He’s a fealty and sensible boy, he never told his parents about the difficult predicament. He kept all this pressure by himself. Those days, he singing to the wall, but he never changed his mind about singing. Today, he always said that he feel thankful about himself ten years ago, during that period, even it’s too hard , he never give up singing, never give up hope light. All of that makes him achieved his gold today.

Six years ago, 2008
Something has changed in his life that year. He decided leave his old company, and join another TV show. He appeared in people’s field again, with many doubt, like “You have already been a champion, why you join this kind of event again? You only want to gain another NO.1?”… All the things are hard for him to keep. But, something bad happen, must with something good. He met his future wife that year. She is lovely, beautiful, and… already famous, and… she is the host of that show. At that time, they just common friends. But, you know, the entertainment reporters are don’t care about that , they just care about their rates, viewing rates. They said he could join that TV show just because his girlfriend’s help. Nobody care about his song, nobody. It’s very sad for a singer! People thought he became famous not by himself but his wife, they said he married his wife just for find an easy way to be fame. Even the program doesn’t give him a right place, at the end of that match . He just thanks, like there’s no hurt. He thanks his friends who always supposed him, thanks his fans always around him, thanks the show let more people know him and give him a stage to singing. He just thanks, with no grumble.

Now, 2014
A show called<I’m a singer>, let more people know: he is a good singer! He became a famous singer on real significance. Nobody can say he became famous only by his wife. Ah! Yeah, he has married her in 2011. They are very happiness. One is a good singer, one is a good host.
Use ten years he let people know that “He is a singer!” He would go much farther on the way of singing, cause he still insisted his simple dream, always keep a kind and lovely heart.
