In 1996, when Liang Jingru was still an 18-year-old girl, she was pressed to the ground by fate and rubbed twice.
At that time, Liang Jingru was still called Liang Cuiping, and her ancestral home was Guangdong, and she was born in a Chinese family in Negeri Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Her parents like to sing, and Liang Cuiping is also very impressed, and she has participated in singing competitions arranged by her father since she was a child.
Her father loved Liang Cuiping very much, and in his spare time, he always took her and her brothers to fish, walk green, fly kites, and sometimes jokingly pull off her ponytail and then "escape" quickly.
But the joy ended at the age of 18. In 1996, my father died prematurely due to nasopharyngeal cancer at the age of 38. Liang Cuiping and her two younger brothers cried heart-rending, and at home, they knelt down to welcome back their father's coffin...
Without his father's wings, life goes on. The carefree girl seemed to grow up overnight.
Near the college entrance examination, Liang Cuiping and two classmates formed a "blue boiled water" combination to participate in the "Conch New Rhyme Award" singing competition, and finally achieved a good result of the third place in the middle school group.
The winner's song was included in the "2nd Conch LEE COOPER Commemorative Album". But the record company felt that this Liang Cuiping looked ordinary, and only let her sing harmony for other singers, and did not make much money at all...
In order to support her two younger brothers, Liang Cuiping took the initiative to give up college, and after graduating from high school, she went to society and often went to folk song restaurants to sing, singing for 1 and a half hours each time, and the money earned was about 100 yuan.
As she sang, she gradually began to enjoy singing, but with no future in the restaurant, she felt lost and helpless.
At the critical moment, a man came from afar, and by chance, yin and yang, profoundly rewrote her fate.

This man was Li Zongsheng, who was born in the same year as Liang Cuiping's father, and was a senior executive of Rolling Stone Records in Taiwan at that time.
In 1997, at the age of 39, Lee Chung-sheng went to Malaysia to produce an album by Guang Liang and Pin Guan, and by the way, he was looking for a new artist.
The record company pushed Li Zongsheng a CD, Li Zongsheng listened to the previously recommended songs, and was not satisfied with the lead singer, but was interested in a girl who sang harmony.
Just when the record company recorded a cappella for her, Li Zongsheng listened to it and said yes, just her, make an appointment.
This girl is Liang Cuiping.
But Li Zongsheng was too busy to wait to see Liang Cuiping, so he went to Singapore. Liang Cuiping's mother stopped coming when she saw it, quickly pulled up her daughter, chased her all the way, and ran to Singapore to meet Li Zongsheng.
Li Zongsheng saw the mother and daughter of the wind and dust servants, saw that they were miserable, timid, and looked distressed, so he asked the girl to try to sing a few difficult songs.
As soon as the girl sang, Li Zongsheng's eyes lit up, he felt that he had found the right person, asked her what her name was, and she said Liang Cuiping. Li Zongsheng sighed for a moment and said: Are you willing to go to Taiwan for development? However, I have to take a stage name...
At that time, Taiwan's cultural and entertainment industry was booming, and its influence was quite large among Southeast Asian countries. Of course, Liang Cuiping couldn't ask for it. Having never been far away, she followed Li Zongsheng to Taiwan under the guidance of her dreams.
However, after all, growing up in Malaysia, although Liang Cuiping got a very poetic stage name "Liang Jingru", Chinese still speaking differently, so she had to read the newspaper every day to practice, and then sing in the studio after practicing.
Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, lonely day after day, makes Liang Jingru become sensitive and inferior, feeling that she can't do anything well.
Winters in Taiwan were colder than in Malaysia, causing her nose allergies and seriously affecting the recording status. When her mother called and asked her to get dressed more, she burst into tears.
Singing originally required opening herself and singing out loud frankly, but at this time, Liang Jingru wrapped herself up and was a little restrained when facing the microphone.
Li Zongsheng initially came for an hour or two a day, and then left in half an hour. Later, only 5 minutes. He also sighed and said: I never heard the voice of Jingru when she first auditioned...
Sometimes, Li Zongsheng even took off his glasses and threw them on the table: "No singing, no singing, today's work." ”
Liang Jingru, who was already inferior, saw Li Zongsheng's reaction so big, and the tears fell unconsciously, and he actually moved a surprising thought.

Almost a year later, a friend went to Taiwan to chat with Liang Jingru and found that she was in a very closed state. She wanted her friend to listen to the song she had recorded, but the friend refused and advised her to go back.
Liang Jingru thought about it for one night, and the next day she held a notebook full of lost books and told Li Zongsheng about her feelings. Say she is homesick, wants to be wayward, and goes back to Malaysia...
Li Zongsheng was surprised at first, and then he felt that this was also a method, so he said: "Then you go back, you will go back to find the simplest and most loving singing self, and get ready to come back!" ”
So, Liang Jingru returned to the Malaysian folk song restaurant to sing, and without pressure, she sang very happily, naturally, and with a lot of feeling. Finally, half a year later, she really found her original self.
In April 1999, 21-year-old Liang Jingru returned to Taiwan. After nearly half a year of preparation, he successfully released his first personal music album "Growing Up Overnight".
Li Zongsheng, who is known for "writing all women's hearts", attaches great importance to this blood-soaked album. The company began a big publicity, ready to do a good job, but unexpectedly, suddenly, the sky was dark.
4 days later, in the night, Liang Jingru was lying on the bed, suddenly the power went out, and then, the air conditioning also stopped, and the bed was bumpy like a wild horse in the dark night, almost pulling Liang Jingru out of bed, scaring her into crying in the quilt.
The next day, it turned out that the largest earthquake at the end of the 20th century had occurred in Taiwan, killing as many as 2,321 people. Suddenly, the whole society was shrouded in dark sadness, and the entertainment industry was also hit hard...
As a result, the album, which took two years to produce intermittently, only sold 40,000 copies.
Liang Jingru's mood fell to the bottom. She had heard that the company's support for the signed singers all depended on the first album, and if the first battle was successful, it would naturally take advantage of the victory, and if the first battle failed, the future would be unpredictable.
At the critical moment, Li Zongsheng did not abandon her and went all out to produce a second album for her. In fact, Li Zongsheng has always been very fond of her, but the requirements are very strict, such as brothers and fathers.
He didn't want her to go too well, because he would know how to cherish it because of the pain.
During the production process, the staff saw a fax at Liang Jingru's residence, the words were well written, and when they asked, they knew that this was actually a love letter sent by Liang Jingru's boyfriend...
The boyfriend, named Ah Guan, is a Malaysian lyricist who is not only talented but also mature and considerate, and is rumored to have met her during her return to Malaysia.
Although they are far away from the mountains and seas, the love between the two has crossed the mountains and seas. The boyfriend often made transoceanic phone calls, asked Han Han about warm love, asked Liang Jingru's mood, and sang songs to her. But for the sake of their careers, the two have not been made public.
Later, musicians from Malaysia, Rui Ye and Guang Liang, also used this relationship as inspiration to compose a song that became popular all over the Chinese world, which is the famous "Courage".
In August 2000, the record label directly titled the album Courage. Liang Jingru also really plucked up the courage and made a very bold move at the press conference.

At the "Courage" press conference, 22-year-old Liang Jingru boldly gave a public kiss to Ah Guan, which is equivalent to directly announcing the love affair between the two.
This wave of operations, in the entertainment circle of hidden marriage and hidden love, seems too courageous, so that the melon-eating masses are stunned.
Since then, this song that encouraged herself and her boyfriend has also encouraged countless listeners, and even once became a favorite inspirational song of the gay community:
"Finally made this decision, I ignored what others said. As long as you are equally sure, I am willing to go with you at all ends of the earth..."
Since then, the Chinese music scene has had one more "queen of heaven", and Liang Jingru has stood at the same height as Sun Yanzi, Jolin Tsai and Xiao Yaxuan. She is more incarnated as "Doraemon", her pockets are full of courage, and whoever lacks it will borrow from her.
Liang Jingru, who has been in the industry for 3 years, is completely on fire. The record company hit the iron while it was hot, and at the speed of one album a year, it created multiple albums for her and sang many classic songs.
For example, "I Like" and "Happy To Break Up", the people who are in love with the former say good, and the people who break up with the latter say good. Anyway, no matter what kind of emotional state you are, you can't escape Liang Jingru's love song universe.
After the release of her fifth album " Beautiful Life " , she was nominated for the "Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Chinese Female Singer" for the first time.
However, that year's opponent was Faye Wong, and after receiving the award, "Tianhou" dragged and said: "I know that I can sing, so I also give full affirmation to the affirmation given by the judges of the Golden Melody Award." ”
Although Liang Jingru did not win the award, her popularity remained high. It was because it was so hot that she developed some scruples and eventually missed the man who loved her.
It is said that Ah Guan's parents hope that the two can get married soon, and Ah Guan also proposed to her, but she wanted to focus on her career first, and as a result, dragging the emotional line was broken...
Perhaps losing to distance, or perhaps to time, the two broke up after Valentine's Day in 2004. Ah Guan wrote the breakup song "Acceptance" for her, which contains the following sentences:
"It must be that each other is not mature enough, cannot distinguish between the important and the important in love, and the honesty is too much."
When filming the "Acceptance" MV, countless old-time scenes broke into her heart, and Liang Jingru's eyes were filled with tears.
At that time, in addition to the loss of love, Liang Jingru had another very distressing thing.
It turned out that although Liang Jingru had sung many love songs with a high degree of circulation, her image was seriously fixed, and she wanted to change and break through, but she always felt powerless.
Just as she was confused, 3 more men broke into her life.

"Mayday" Ah Xin, is Liang Jingru's brother-in-law, he thinks she is a very brave girl, like a pupa butterfly, in the face of love, desperate, he wrote her a rock style "Swallowtail Butterfly".
Liang Jingru, who always sings lyrical slow songs, was very uncomfortable with this fast-paced rock at first, and once felt that she could not sing. Until after auditioning a few times, I found that I loved the song more and more.
Tao Zhe, who introduced the R&B style into the Chinese music scene, is Liang Jingru's idol. When she learned that she was going to work with her idol, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and she frequently interacted with the idol's emails.
Tao Zhe composed a rock love song "I Know" for her, a high-pitched and confusing prelude, a dynamic swaying style, like a drunken song, so that everyone heard a different Liang Jingru.
The composing genius Li Zhengfan's reputation is not very loud, but he is the top god in the industry. He once went to a primary school in Ningxia to teach, where the scenery is fresh and quiet, the children are simple and frank, and they have not even drunk Coke.
In just 3 days of getting along, he was greatly touched in his heart, and when he left, he wrote a clean lyric like a breeze and bright moon on the blackboard, and the melody on the way back to Taipei came to mind, so there was "Ningxia".
The title of this album was set as "Swallowtail Butterfly's Determination to Love". This bold transformation made Liang Jingru win the full house and was once again nominated for the "Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Chinese Female Singer Award".
In that era when the gods and immortals fought, the same stage competition with her was Zhang Huimei, Sun Yanzi, and Zhang Shaohan, who also broke the sky. In the end, she lost by one vote to Sun Yanzi, the darling of the Golden Melody Awards, and lost again.
However, at that time, Liang Jingru had not yet experienced the "high cold" of the Golden Melody Award, and she was already very excited to be nominated. Moreover, she was proud of her career and fell into a honey love.

Liang Jingru's new boyfriend is Martha, a member of "Mayday". Both were colleagues and both released their debut albums in 1999.
The cheerful Martha, 1 year older than Liang Jingru, quickly became friends and witnessed each other's loss and growth. After Liang Jingru and Ah Guan broke up, the friendship between the two also produced a "fission".
In November 2004, Mayday released the album God's Children Are Dancing. One of the songs, "John Lennon", written by Martha, has a lyric: "A red bean, why do you want to single out this universe".
A year later, "Mayday's" Ah Xin and Wang Lihong collaborated to produce a new album "Silk Road" for Liang Jingru.
While composing the title song of the same name, the busy Ashin wrote in the bathroom, "I shed my tears into a lake above the Tianshan Mountain, so that you can camp and stop when you are tired", and afterwards he sighed that this is the most beautiful song he has ever written.
Gossip boyfriend Martha, who also participated in the production of the album, arranged "Long Time Later" and "One-on-One".
However, neither side admits the relationship in any case. Even Cai Kangyong couldn't help but ridicule: "The whole of Taiwan knows that they are in love, but they just don't admit it." ”
In 2006, Liang Jingru invited Jay Chou to sing while preparing a new album. Zhou Dong saw Liang Jingru and Martha's scandal in the newspaper, and the inspiration gushed out, and the lyrics in "Amnesia" were written like driving: "I have spelled the picture of John Lannon with you for many nights, but I can't spell an eternal ..."
"John Lannon" is exactly the name of the song that Martha wrote earlier. Everyone saw the lyrics meaningfully and smiled, Liang Jingru shyly sighed: "Zhou Dong is very powerful, but also really a thief ..."
In fact, Liang Jingru, who has lost her dependence since childhood, is very eager for marriage and family after she has achieved fame. At the "Parade of Love" Shanghai concert that year, she invited Martha as a guest.
When singing "One-on-One" arranged by Martha, Liang Jingru, who was wearing a black dress, walked straight to Martha and sang as she walked: "Since you have feelings for me, why not be braver and dissolve me..."
Fans see this and go crazy. But Martha, who was opposite, continued to play bass, and did not respond explicitly after hugging. It is said that women chase men in the layer of yarn, women have been so active, why do men still have concerns?
Because Martha is an unmarried person, no matter how others induce her, he will not disclose her relationship with Liang Jingru. The original hot love, in the cold wind like a knife, gradually extinguished and cooled.
In January 2009, Liang Jingru had a "love song" on her album, as if to use Martha's words to commemorate the dead love: "Fate is so humorous that everyone who loves is silent." A whole universe, for a red bean. ”
At the same time, Liang Jingru also deeply felt the successive blows from the other direction.
Seven
In 2006 and 2008, Liang Jingru was nominated for the Golden Melody Award twice, but lost to her friend Cai Jianya.
After repeated defeats, she was nominated for the Golden Melody Award for the fifth time in 2009. This time, her voice was extremely high, as if winning the award was a matter of certainty, but she lost to Chen Shanni.
After 5 times of escort running, Liang Jingru directly collapsed and cried in the background. Even Martha stood up for her:
"She's been the best female singer every time she votes on the Internet, and she's already not bad for that award to affirm... But also out too many times. ”
Although the name of the merit is like a floating cloud, it is really uncomfortable not to get the award, and it is estimated that the little plum before the award can feel it. Fortunately, a new love warmed Liang Jingru's heart.
In June 2009, 31-year-old Liang Jingru returned to Malaysia for a concert. On the eve of her birthday, a man proposed to her with a diamond ring worth 170,000 yuan, and Liang Jingru readily agreed.
The man's name is Zhao Yuantong, 3 years older than Liang Jingru, a Chinese-American and well-known red wine merchant. He met Liang Jingru at a concert celebration in Shanghai two years ago, and the two quickly became friends.
In just two years, they have developed to the point of talking about marriage. But what Liang Jingru did not expect was that the infatuated man in front of him would have a nightmare in the future.
On February 1, 2010, Liang Jingru and Zhao Yuantong held a grand wedding on Boracay Island in the Philippines, and Li Zongsheng, who had been rumored to have been rumored before, appeared on the spot, and Liang Jingru clarified to the outside world that he was just his "dry father".
At the wedding, Li Zongsheng, the father and mentor of the marriage, served as a witness and said emotionally: "I am the first man to take her into this line, and today I personally handed her over to the second man in her life." ”
Liang Jingru burst into tears, and Zhao Yuantong's words made her even more emotional: "Thank you for being my other half and completing my life." Living with you in the name of love is the happiest thing I think is. ”
Liang Jingru also expressed her deep feelings: "Thank you for letting me grow into a better person." ”
For this wedding, they hosted three banquets in the Philippines, Malaysia and Chinese Taipei, costing a total of more than NT$5 million.
After the release of two albums, Liang Jingru directly faded out of the music scene and enjoyed the sweetness of marriage. Even if she eats a roadside stall together, she feels extremely comfortable and happy.
In April 2014, 36-year-old Liang Jingru gave birth to her son Zhao Yichen, a family of three extremely romantic and warm, and later it was rumored that her husband was in an economic crisis, and Liang Jingru did not hesitate to mortgage the property to support her husband.
However, in 2019, 41-year-old Liang Jingru released her new album "Am I Okay?" after 7 years of disobedience. -The sun rises as usual" Soon, the husband Zhao Yuantong was photographed walking intimately with other women, suspected of splitting legs...

A month later, Liang Jingru appeared at the sharing meeting of the new album, and in the middle of singing, she suddenly had an emotional breakdown and turned to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Subsequently, she announced the divorce to the media, saying that the two had signed the divorce agreement and were going through the final process.
Her 5-year-old son was very confused and asked her "why do I have two homes", and she had to say to her son euphemistically: "Although my parents are not together, my love for you will not diminish." ”
The undersea moon is the moon in the sky, and the infatuated lover becomes the lover. She had difficulty accepting the end of divorce, often crying while listening to her own songs, crying when driving alone, and finally had to find a psychologist, and her mother came to accompany her.
In 2020, the 42-year-old Liang Jingru was nominated for the "Golden Melody Award for Best Chinese Female Singer" for the sixth time, and she was very happy and deliberately wrote the acceptance speech in advance on the yellow paper, because the master said that she lacked yellow energy in her life.
However, the results were announced, and the winner was Wei Ruxuan.
Liang Jingru thought sadly: The master may really have two shots, because the trophy of the Golden Melody Award is also yellow!
In fact, Liang Jingru's songs are more popular, not avant-garde enough, lack of pioneering spirit to lead the times, and this is not the type that Taiwan Golden Melody Awards likes.
However, although she has not been recognized by the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, she has already won many awards such as the "Best Female Singer Award of the Global Pop Music Golden List" and the "Best Female Singer Award of the Chinese Song Chart", and does not need more awards to prove herself.
Some people say that her voice is as fresh as a freshly picked strawberry, singing the sweetness and bitterness of love. When listening to her sing, even the sparrow on the telephone pole outside the window could not bear to talk much, so she was known as the "queen of love songs".
Looking back, we seem to have experienced the whole process of love in Liang Jingru's singing.
Confession requires "Courage", hot love is "Warm and Warm", miss is "Pain That Will Breathe", "Unfortunately Not You" when there is no chance, and even the end of the relationship has "Happy To Break Up"...
There are so many of her classic love songs that they can be strung together into a necklace, bringing too many memories and emotions to fans.
The only pity is that she has a deep love like the sea, but the love road is turbulent and not smooth at all.
In November 2020, the media exposed her new relationship, saying that the man was Lin Daguang, the president of Picasso Group Asia, who was 14 years older than her, and was also photographed kissing at the beach.
Fans thought she had stepped out of her ex-husband's shadow and ushered in another spring, and they all offered her blessings.
As a result, only 3 months later, she posted the breakup message on the social platform: "If you don't, you will go." Get along, have very different values for people and things, and choose to return to friendship. ”
