While working as a postman, he helps others cut fences to earn pocket money. One cold morning, when he left home, he saw his young neighbor wrapped in rags and barefoot, chopping a pile of wood moved from the old stable, saying that he wanted to earn a dollar to buy a pair of shoes.

On one occasion, when he was a surveyor, after surveying in Petersburg, he deliberately designed a street that could have been straight to be curved in order to save the house of a poor orphan and widowed family. If the streets were built straight, poor families would not sleep on the streets!

Chapter II: Jay Chou.

Jay Chou was born in a poor family. Mom and dad divorced when he was 5 years old, and he followed his mother. We know that he has a song "Dad, I'm home" in Fantasia.

Jay showed his unique feeling and talent for music in primary school. He likes the piano very much, and he likes listening to music quietly alone, which also forms the character of such a shy big boy as he is now. But his academic performance is not very good, because he wants to engage in music, but music is a plaything of the rich in Taiwan Province Province, which is almost impossible for him, so many people advised him to study hard, enter a university and find a job in the future.

But what is "disappointing" is that Jay didn't go to college and was introduced to a restaurant as a waiter after graduating from high school. However, he still loves his music. Although he earns only 400 yuan a month, he will spend a lot of money on tapes besides subsidizing his family. He often listens to music quietly and tries to create his own music. Jay said he only cried three times, once when his parents divorced; Once, because I was distracted when I was working in a restaurant, I knocked over the plate with hot dishes on the waitress and was fined half a month's salary by my boss.

There is a piano in the dining room, which is Jay Chou's favorite. Once, when he was not busy at work, he sat in front of the piano and played a song. The other waiters were surprised. It happened that the boss saw this. He didn't expect such a humble waiter to have such an elegant hobby. In this way, the boss made Jay Chou a pianist in the restaurant, which was a big "promotion" for Jay Chou, and his salary rose to 1000 yuan per month. Since then, he has been full of love for his work.

Jay Chou's sister is very supportive of her brother's music creation. On one occasion, she signed Jay Chou in the "King of New Musicians" hosted by Wu Zongxian. Wu Zongxian was a famous musician in Taiwan Province at that time. He was shocked to see Jay Chou's music score, because a very complicated piece, Jay Chou, was composed neatly. However, because of Jay Chou's strange music style, he was booed by many audiences during the live performance, which also gave Jay Chou a great blow. However, Wu Zongxian likes this quiet young man very much. He asked Jay to be a music production assistant in his "Erffa" music company, but the so-called assistant just helped run errands. But this is a good start for Jay Chou to realize his dream. Since then, he has strengthened his determination to take the road of music creation, and he has time to ask others for advice. Finally, Wu Zongxian promoted the hardworking young man to a music producer. But this is a bigger test for him, and he is willing to bear this test. Every morning, he puts his written songs neatly on Wu Zongxian's desk.

He encountered many difficulties in it. The song he wrote for Andy Lau was thrown aside by Andy Lau without reading it. It is said that this song is the later "Xingqing". And his "nunchakus" tailored for May, a popular actress in Taiwan Province at that time, was also abandoned. When he secretly saw Wu Zongxian tearing up his manuscript, he silently left tears, which was his third time. At this time, Wu Zongxian gave him one last chance to write 50 songs in 10 days, and selected 10 songs to give him an album. He knew that his boss had given him the last spy, and this time was the key moment to decide his life and death on the music road. Sure enough, many things happen. He completed the task in 10 days and successfully released his first album "Jay Week". Since then, he has also become famous. He was only 19 at that time!

Article 3: Mariah Carey

At the age of 3, her parents divorced. Because of the poverty of family and origin, the family is discriminated against. My mother took her to live a wandering life. Because they couldn't afford the rent, they boarded on the floor of a friend's house.

Nevertheless, she never shed tears. Because her mother used to be an opera singer, she was influenced by her mother at an early age. She fell in love with music when she was 4 years old and often learned to sing with her mother.

After school, her academic performance was not excellent. In an exam, she got 6 points in math. The teacher scolded her in front of the whole class, but she stood up confidently and said, "Mathematics is useless to me. I want to be a singer in the future. " As soon as this language came out, it was immediately laughed at by the students. In the laughter of her classmates, she clenched her fist tightly.

/kloc-started composing music at the age of 0/3. /kloc-When she was 0/4 years old, she found several recording studios to be their backup audition singers. After graduating from high school, I came to new york with an immature dream despite my family's opposition.

When she first arrived in new york, she could only work as a waitress in a bar, share a small house with others, and often put a mattress on the living room floor for the night. She often can only live on a packet of macaroni and cheese every week. In those months when the economy was extremely tight, she had to rely on hard bread and ice water donated by the owner of a nearby deli to fill her stomach.

However, she did not give in. In the dim light, she kept writing songs until her hands were numb and she fell asleep at her desk. She is eagerly looking forward to a contract and a record. However, she went to all the record companies on the streets of new york and was turned away.

/kloc-at the age of 0/8, she finally got the opportunity to perform in a pop club. Her perfect voice and creative talent gradually attracted people's attention, and Columbia Records successfully recruited her with a contract of $350,000. $350,000 is sky-high for her. At that moment, her eyes were full of tears.

She quickly became famous in the company and set the top ten hit songs for the company. Her songs are becoming more and more mature, and her image has become sexy and confident. She often appears on the covers of major magazines. These magazines believe that her changes in music and image have driven the whole music trend, and named this trend "Butterfly Effect". At the age of 20, she won the Grammy Award for Best Female Singer. In the following 10 years, she won many awards such as World Music Award, American Music Award, Soul Train Music Award, American Composers Association Award, European Music White Gold Award and so on.

However, just as her career was booming, something unpleasant happened. At the age of 30, she parted ways with Columbia Records and had to find a new company. Unfortunately, two years later, the new company also decided to terminate her contract. The reason is that they think she has mental problems after her lovelorn love.

At that time, she was controversial, but she didn't give up music in the trough. She firmly believes that butterflies are not afraid of rain falling on their wings.

A year later, she signed a contract with Island Records, a subsidiary of Universal Records. She is highly appreciated in the new company. Two years later, she returned to the peak of music with a new album. The sales of this album ranked second in the world and the domestic champion that year. Since then, her songs have been at the top of the major music charts, and her songs are loved by fans all over the world, so she is called the queen of pop music.

Butterflies have a characteristic: their wings are covered with scales, and the scales contain a lot of fat, which seems to put on a "waterproof raincoat" for butterflies. She has always believed that she is a beautiful butterfly, and the rain will never wet her wings flying for her dreams. Finally, she succeeded and ushered in her beautiful spring. This is Mariah Carey.
