A butterfly is not afraid of rain on its wings

When she was 3, her parents divorced. The family was discriminated against because of poverty and ancestry. Her mother took her to a peripatetic life, and they boarded on the floor of friends' houses because they could not pay the rent.

Even so, she never shed a tear. Influenced by her mother, who had been an opera singer, she fell in love with music at the age of four and often learned to sing behind her mother.

After going to school, her academic performance is not excellent. A test, her math got 6 points, the teacher in front of the whole class scolded her, but she was righteously stand up, said: "math for me is useless, I want to be a singer." This language, was immediately laughed at by the students, in the students' jeers, she tightly clenched her fist.

At the age of 13, she began to compose music, and at 14, she found several recording studios as their backup audition singer. When she graduated from high school, she moved to New York with her young dream, despite the objections of her family.

When she first arrived in New York, she worked as a hostess in a bar, shared a cramped apartment and spent nights with a mattress on the living room floor. She often struggled on a packet of macaroni and cheese a week, and in the lean months she subsisted on hard bread and ice water from the owner of the nearby deli.

But she did not give in. In the dim light, she wrote so many songs that her hands became numb and she fell asleep on her desk. She was eager to get a contract and make a record. But she went to every record label in New York and was turned away.

At the age of 18, she finally got a chance to perform at a popular club. Her perfect voice and creative talent were gradually noticed, and Columbia Records signed her to the label with a $350,000 deal. At $350,000, a huge sum for her, tears welled up in her eyes.

She quickly made her mark at the company, scoring top 10 hits for the company. Her songs became more mature and her image became sexy and confident, and she appeared on the cover of every major magazine. The magazines credited her transformation in music and image with starting a trend that they dubbed "the Butterfly Effect." At the age of 20, she won the Grammy Award for Best Female Vocalist. Over the next 10 years, she won the World Music Awards, the American Music Awards, the Soul Train Awards, the American Society of Composers Awards, and the European Platinum Award for Music.

However, just as her career was on the rise, something unpleasant happened. At the age of 30, she parted ways with Columbia Records and had to look for a new label. Unfortunately, two years later, the new label also decided to terminate her contract. The reason was that they thought she was mentally ill after her breakup.

At that time, she was controversial, but she did not give up music in the trough, she firmly believed that a butterfly is not afraid of the rain on its wings.

A year later, she signed a deal with Universal Music's Island label. She was appreciated at her new label and returned to the top two years later with her new album. The album was the second best-selling album in the world that year and the number one album in China. Since then, her songs have been at the top of the music charts, her songs are loved by fans around the world, and she has been called the queen of pop music.

The butterfly has a characteristic that its wings are covered with scales, which contain a lot of fat, as if to put on a "waterproof raincoat" for the butterfly. She has always believed that she is a beautiful butterfly, no matter how much rain will not wet the wings of the dream and fly. Finally, she made it, ushered in her own gorgeous spring, she is Mariah Carey.
