I don’t know if you are familiar with the R&B genre. When R&B was first introduced in China, many domestic singers began to try it, but they did not achieve great success.
< p>One of the singers is Du Dewei. When he was doing this style of music, people around him thought he was a weirdo.Du Dewei’s voice is very distinctive. Many people now call him the originator of R&B. But whether he is the originator or not, his music has influenced many listeners today.
Du Dewei was born in Hong Kong in 1962. He not only has Chinese and Spanish ancestry, but also has Filipino ancestry.
He was born into an artistic family, and his father was the leader of a Hispanic Latin drummer band.
And his mother is very amazing. His mother Zhang Lu is a singer.
Zhang Lu has sung the classic works "Give Me a Kiss" and "You're So Beautiful" and is known as the "Chinese Queen of Songs".
In his early years, Du Dewei's family life was relatively prosperous and he did not have to worry about food and clothing.
But because his father later failed in business, his family fell into decline and his life was not as good as before.
In order for Du Dewei to go to college, he had to study while going to school to maintain his life.
But fortunately, Du Dewei inherited the artistic qualities of his parents and is extremely talented.
While studying in Canada, Du Dewei formed a dance group with some friends.
Du Dewei can be said to be one of the first musicians in China to introduce soul, R&B and blues.
Many people know Du Dewei because of his songs such as "Love Life" and "Lover".
In 1999, Du Dewei's Mandarin album "99 Lovers" caused a great sensation.
Du Dewei not only made achievements in music, but also led the dance trend in his dance songs such as "Save the Earth" and "Believe in Yourself".
So at that time, Du Dewei was also known as the "Asian Dance King".
The album "99 Lovers" is a turning point in Du Dewei's music career.
Before this album, Du Dewei had released 26 albums, and the mainland music market at that time had not yet discovered his shining point.
Du Dewei has liked Michael Jackson since he was 18 years old, so he began to go to some black societies to study with them.
Du Dewei had been immersed in black dance for many years and persisted for many years, so the title of "Asian Dance King" was not obtained casually.
Not only that, after Du Dewei had achieved success in singing and dancing, he was still not satisfied, so he began to develop in all aspects.
After that, he began to appear in film and television works. That year, Du Dewei starred in the hit drama "Pawn Shop No. 8" and became a sensation.
However, in terms of film and television, Du Dewei's path was not smooth.
After starring as Han Nuo, the owner of "Pawn Shop No. 8", he continued to star in movies such as "Red Zone", "The King of Flowers", and "The God of Savior".
However, these works did not allow Du Dewei to "escape" from the role of Han Nuo, so many people's impression of him still remained as Han Nuo.
However, during this period, Du Dewei was making movies and holding concerts, and he was still very successful.
Du Dewei, who is also handsome, still has money, and of course he has a lot of love history.
However, many people would have never imagined that Du Dewei actually had a relationship with Sandra Ng.
The two met and got together in 1990, but their relationship did not end.
The love experience of the two is relatively secretive, but there are many opinions about the breakup.
Some people say that Du Dewei disliked Sandra Ng for being fat, while others said it was because Du Dewei disliked Sandra Ng for playing a clown.
But these are all speculations from the outside world, and only they themselves know the real reason for their breakup.
It is said that after the breakup, Sandra Ng was very sad during that period, but the two were still good friends.
Sandra Ng and Du Dewei once attended events together. Although they both have their own partners, Sandra Ng will also attend Du Dewei's concert.
When Sandra Ng was asked about the story about Du Dewei, Sandra Ng would always say:
"The past can only be recalled. We have to look forward, not to talk about the past."
It is not easy to maintain such a good relationship after a breakup.
After that, Du Dewei also fell in love with a Hong Kong young model Zhou Wenqi for 6 years. The relationship between the two was also on and off.
It was not until 2004 that Du Dewei announced that he had broken up. He was just vague about the reason for the breakup, but it was clear that Du Dewei was alluding to Zhou Wenqi's love interest.
And their lifestyles were also different, so they broke up peacefully.
Soon after, Du Dewei fell in love with model Wang Jiaqing for a year.
After the couple broke up, Wang Jiaqing not only missed Du Dewei every day and cried every day, she also committed extreme acts such as cutting her wrists to commit suicide and taking sleeping pills.
And Du Dewei also got worse as he got worse. In 2002, Du Dewei was found by the police to have 0.13 grams of hand-rolled cigarettes hidden in his pocket.
Although Du Dewei did not smoke after testing, he was still convicted of drug possession and fined 4,000 Hong Kong dollars.
In 2006, it was once again reported that Du Dewei was soliciting prostitutes in a hotel in Hong Kong, and the whole process was videotaped.
After this incident was exposed, Du Dewei’s mother came out and swore in person: "He was framed, and he is willing to commit suicide if he does it."
But this incident Still, Du Dewei's career reached a low point and his reputation was ruined.
He was once famous and had no choice but to go home and live in an old house, living in poverty. Now he has become an unknown and has-been artist.
But Du Dewei's luck can be said to be very good. Although his career failed, he met his love.
Du Dewei, who is nearly 50 years old, met Li Xiaobing, a woman 24 years younger than him.
Li Xiaobing is a Hong Kong short film director and photographer. The two got married in 2012 and had a child in 2016.
When Du Dewei got married, Tony Leung, Lu Fang and others were his best men.
Li Xiaobing’s parents are very young, and Du Dewei is even one year older than his mother-in-law.
Slowly, Du Dewei also started to start a business, opening bars and tea restaurants. In recent years, he also started filming. Although he was a supporting role, his life was quite comfortable.
Some time ago, Du Dewei and Li Xiaobing were photographed by the media while shopping together.
Today, Du Dewei has long since given up his love for fun and has become a baby daddy.
It can be seen from the photos that Du Dewei and his wife have a very good relationship.
On the street, his wife was angry and didn't speak. Du Dewei not only held his wife's hand, but also kept making her happy.
Although he is already such an old man, Du Dewei still dotes on his wife in every possible way, and the romance remains the same.
I believe this relationship will definitely come to an end, and I wish Du Dewei and his wife can grow old together!
