Chen Chusheng Regrets Giving Up Study
Chen Chusheng (陳楚生) has become popular all over China overnight. Like Li Yuchun (李宇春), he is regarded as a super idol (偶像). As soon as the singing contest was over, he received many invitations to be the spokesman in advertising, which has greatly increased his social status. But few people know how hard a life he had led before becoming famous.
At the age of 26, Mr. Chen has been singing in a bar for six years. He told reporters that, born in a poor family, he and his elder brother had to do a lot of jobs to make a living, such as repairing cars, delivering fast food, etc. He also tried to earn money for schooling during summer vacations. While doing these jobs, he suffered from different kinds of humiliation (羞辱). In a word, he has experienced the hardest life. But, what he regrets most is that he gave up his study in the third year in a high school in an attempt to make a living in Shenzhen. He said, “I also thought about continuing my study while working there. But, because of frequent change of jobs, I had no time to do so.”
Although he has won a lot of fans with his moving songs, Mr. Chen has some small problems with his voicing method. Due to lack of professional training and hard work, he often suffers from hyperaemia (充血) in his throat. Not long ago, he even experienced aphonia (失聲). So far, there is still something wrong with his throat. He will have to take medicine for a long time before he completely recovers from this illness.(from www.nmet168.com)

陳楚生最后悔高三就休學(xué)
陳楚生一夜之間紅遍了大江南北，但是又有多少人知道，成名前的陳楚生，有著多少和他面孔一般滄桑的故事。陳楚生被認(rèn)為是繼李宇春之后又一個(gè)“超級(jí)偶像”，比賽剛結(jié)束就有數(shù)十個(gè)廣告代言找上門，身價(jià)千萬直逼李宇春。
26歲的陳楚生，卻已經(jīng)有6年酒吧駐唱的經(jīng)歷，過了許多艱苦的生活。他向記者透露，家境并不太好的他曾和哥哥一起做過修車的，也送過快餐，暑假時(shí)候自己打工賺學(xué)費(fèi)，社會(huì)最底層的生活我都體會(huì)過。送盒飯?jiān)豢腿巳雍酗�，唱歌也觀眾潑啤酒。不過，讓陳楚生至今還后悔的是他高三就放棄了學(xué)習(xí)，獨(dú)自去深圳闖蕩，“我在深圳的時(shí)候也想過要學(xué)習(xí)深造，但工作一直不穩(wěn)定，也沒有時(shí)間考慮了。”
雖然楚生現(xiàn)在的歌唱感動(dòng)和吸引了無數(shù)粉絲，但也因?yàn)闆]有受過專業(yè)的訓(xùn)練，發(fā)聲方法有些小問題，加上疲勞和長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的用嗓，導(dǎo)致嗓子充血，前陣子還一度“失聲”。目前他的喉嚨還沒完全恢復(fù)，要堅(jiān)持配合醫(yī)生用藥才能慢慢恢復(fù)。
