In 1988, Fei Xiang sang "The Little Rain Came just in time" to the whole country.
Fei Xiang's version is so well-known that few people know that the original song of this song is actually not Fei Xiang, but Zheng Yi, who is known as the folk song Tianhou.
When Fei Xiang sang "The Little Rain Came just in time" affectionately, Zheng Yi, who had broken up with Li Zongsheng, packed up her mood and created her brilliant career again.
However, in 1991, Zheng Yi left the music scene again.
It was still too early in that period, and many people did not have the opportunity to hear Zheng Yi's voice like "moon piano playing".
The reason why Zheng Yi left the music scene in the first place was very simple.
She said that she is a playful person who likes new and interesting things.
At that time, Zheng Yi had been repeating the film, and gradually she felt that it was not fun.
Zheng Yi's experience in the music industry began in 1974.
In 1974, the Taiwanese folk song movement began.
The following year, Xinge Records launched the "Golden Rhyme Award" Youth Campus Folk Song Contest, encouraging young people to compose and sing their own songs.
The Golden Yun Award can be regarded as the earliest talent show, because it is held in the summer vacation, the prize money is high, and college students flock to it.
Zheng Yi was still in high school at this time, and she had not yet germinated the idea of going to the competition.
That year, NTU held a camping event.
Zheng Yi's brother, who was studying at National Taiwan University, took Zheng Yi with him to participate.
So Zheng Yi met Qi Yu, who was also studying at National Taiwan University.
The scene of that night Zheng Yi will never forget.
In The Tiger Mountain in Miaoli, a group of people surrounded the campfire, and Qi Yu took out a guitar and sang.
Qi Yu
The song and the fog between the mountains drifted around together, and for a moment Zheng Yi felt that the whole mountain was full of spirits, wonderful.
In 1978, Qi Yu participated in the second Golden Rhyme Award Song Contest and won the championship.
Launched the first single , "Country Road" by Ye Jiaxiu, one of the most important founders of Taiwanese school folk songs.
In the same year, Zheng Yi was admitted to the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology of National Taiwan University.
The following year, Qi Yu released his debut album Olive Tree.
Zheng Yi, who finished her first year of college, went to participate in the Golden Yun Award, and Zheng Yi did not copy the scenery of xuejie and lost in the competition.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Zheng Yi, who was enjoying the summer vacation at home, suddenly received a call from Xinge Records and invited her to record.
The third golden rhyme award competition, starting from the rematch, Xinge Records found that there are many excellent singers.
So they decided to pick some singers from the rematch to record two Golden Rhyme Awards anthology, and Zheng Yi was one of them.
After that, Zheng Yi recorded a Golden Rhyme Award anthology and sang a song "Breeze Past".
Morning breeze
We set off into the distance
Music rang in my heart
The curtain is turned on
Zheng Yi's musical path was officially opened.
When Zheng Yi first entered Xinge Records, the company held a networking event.
At the event, Zheng Yi met Wang Lihong's uncle for the first time, which is the original singer of "Descendants of the Dragon".
He arrived early on the day of the event, waved to them on the top of the tall building, and said, "Don't fall in love with me, I have a girlfriend." ”
Seeing that this man was so narcissistic, Zheng Yi turned his head and snatched away one of his songs.
The song that Zheng Yi snatched away is called "Yueqin", which is regarded as a benchmark for modern folk songs in Taiwan.
"Yueqin" is composed by Lai Xi'an and composed by Su Lai, which is composed in honor of Chen Da, an old Folk Artist in Taiwan.
Su Lai and Zheng Yi debuted at the same time, and their creative talents are excellent, and Cai Qin's "Your Eyes" was written by him.
He and Zheng Yi live very close, and whenever there is a new creation, they will always call Zheng Yi to come and listen.
In 1980, when he wrote "Yueqin", Su Lai wanted to take this song to Li Jianfu to sing.
"Yueqin" has a long and deep song, and the lyrics are sad and heavy.
Zheng Yi was very touched after hearing it, and asked Su Lai to sing to her, Su Lai was a little hesitant, feeling that 19-year-old Zheng Yi could not sing the responsibility and sense of mission in the song.
After Zheng Yi finished singing, Su Lai changed his mind.
During the recording, Zheng Yi made a suggestion to put the chorus "Sing another thought" to the first sentence, which would be more shocking.
With such an adjustment, as soon as Zheng Yi's tactful high voice opened, it was quite earth-shattering.
As soon as "Moon Qin" came out, it shocked the song world.
Ye Jiaxiu, who wrote "Country Road", praised:
"No matter how beautiful the timbre of others is, at best, it will be as melodious as a violin, but Zheng Yi is a piano because she has such a wide resonance area." As soon as her voice came out, with the penetrating power of hers, I don't think anyone in the whole world sang better than her. ”
After the "Moon Qin", Zheng Yi wanted to study abroad, and the record company was reluctant to let her go, and discussed with her that you would make another record, and if you came out, you would go abroad to study.
This second album is "The Rain Came at the Right Time", a song that strings Zheng Yi together with Li Zongsheng and Xiao Worm (Chen Huanchang).
In 1983, Wang Lihong's uncle had joined the army as a soldier and met Chen Huanchang, who was very good at writing songs.
Because of his service, Chen Huanchang had just lost a pure love, and his heart was distressed, so he buried his head and wrote "The Little Rain Came just in time".
It just so happened that Wang Lihong's uncle heard that Zheng Yi's new album owed a title song, so he recommended Chen Huanchang to Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi remembers seeing Chen Huanchang that day, Chen Huanchang held a thick songbook, played and sang one by one, and sang "The Little Rain Came just in time", and the true feeling touched Zheng Yi.
When Zheng Yi officially recorded the album, the producer disappeared, and the company had to let the fledgling Li Zongsheng top.
It is said that at this time, Li Zongsheng and Zheng Yi are already a small couple of grace and love.
Li Zongsheng and Zheng Yi
Li Zongsheng, who is still in the initial stage of exploration and experimentation in music production, can serve as her producer, which is largely recommended by her.
Li Zongsheng was quite successful in capturing the exquisite clarity and high-pitched elegance in Zheng Yi's voice, and the whole album made people sound very intimate, clean and natural.
After the album was launched, word of mouth and sales were a great success. Li Zongsheng and Chen Huanchang made a name for themselves, and Zheng Yi could not study abroad.
In the album "The Time for the Little Rain to Come", Li Zongsheng composed a song "End" with lyrics, which was sung by him and Zheng Yi.
The feelings of being trapped by love and confused by love in the song are not intense, but only appear to be light and breezy, and this song has also become a classic of Lee's love songs.
Next, Li Zongsheng wrote a love song for Zheng Yi's third album, called "Go To My Love".
This is the theme song of the youth realistic movie "Little Daddy's Sky" that year.
Zheng Yi's moving singing voice, with the movie depicting high school students unmarried children, but because of the reality of the environment can not be together, the explosive plot has touched countless boys and girls.
Then soon, the love of Li Zongsheng and Zheng Yi really "went" and ended.
There is a lyric in "The End":
Every night every breakup
There are always no tears and no end
Late one night, Su Lai received a call from Zheng Yi, and Zheng Yi cried without saying two words on the other end of the phone.
Later, when Zheng Yi released his fourth album, Su Lai wrote:
"The torment of her feelings has transformed her into a bone."
Zheng Yi's fourth album "Awakening" was born in 1985, singing the mood of growing up from the disillusionment of love.
Zheng Yi presented her mood notes in the album:
"After many blows, I suddenly understood that true love is only the beginning of a fate, and does not represent a happy ending. The future is neither predictable nor speculative, but only hopes to leave good memories when you have them. ”
This time, Zheng Yi decided to become a real participant, writing two lyrics,"The Rising Sun" and "The Last Beginning," echoing each other, as if to signal herself to say goodbye to the past and face another life.
However, although the album is called "Awakening", except for "The Early Sun" and "Little Child", most of them are songs with a strong sense of serious injury.
"The Pattern of Aging", "The Time of Parting", "The Expectation of Love", "The Love of Life" and "The Last Beginning", etc., each capital is explaining the mood of parting from sorrow.
In fact, this is very common, at this time, Zheng Yi, is just a 24-year-old girl.
After Zheng Yi released "Awakening", he invested in a new owner and launched the critically acclaimed "Want to Fly".
Then he launched an album that covered old songs, "Line and Line Again", temporarily retired from the song world.
After a short parting, Zheng Yi returned strongly with "Mood".
"Mood" was written by Lu Changming, a well-known ghost director who shot commercials, and the song was used in shampoo advertisements.
The lyrics describe the girl's love mood.
The popular girl group, Ding Rou'an of the Red Lip Clan, was invited to star, and the record company also sent a large team of people to Africa to shoot musical love stories.
After the shampoo advertisement was broadcast, it caused a sensation, and Zheng Yi immediately released the "Mood" album.
The album was released on a Saturday in Chunghwa Road, Taiwan, where record stores gather.
Every record store was playing "Mood" that day, and by the afternoon all the record stores were selling out.
In today's words, Zheng Yi is a well-deserved singer.
However, just when the singing career was going well, Zheng Yi resolutely left the song world to host radio programs.
1991's Heaven became her last solo album to date.
After Zheng Yi got tired of releasing an album, she was ready to change her profession, and later she found it interesting to do radio, she could meet many different objects, and she could visit them to learn about their music and their stories.
Zheng Yi herself is also a singer, and she is afraid that she cannot introduce the interviewees very objectively, so she made a choice at that time and only did radio
In the broadcasting world, Zheng Yi has achieved a pivotal position as a host, and Fei Yuqing, who can speak well, has praised her one after another.
In 1995, Wang Lihong released his debut album "Love Enemy Beethoven", thus entering the music scene.
Wang Lihong is the nephew of Zheng Yi's old friend and once appeared on Zheng Yi's show.
Zheng Yi liked his friend's handsome nephew very much and posted his photo at the head of the bed.
Wang
In 2000, Jay Chou debuted, and the team arranged for Jay Chou to go to Zheng Yi's program, please Zheng Yi in every way, and take care of this newcomer.
In 2002, Zheng Yi immigrated to Canada with her family.
At first, she flew around alone for work.
After two years of this, she felt that she had been separated from her family for a long time and missed the growth of her children.
It was not the model that a family should have, so she quit all her jobs in Taiwan.
In Canada, she didn't have the aura of a star, starting as a volunteer mom at school and then opening a bakery.
After many years in Canada, Zheng Yi no longer wants to sing.
But one after another, she met many fans around the world, who told her: Your songs affect the important times of my life.
Every time the fans said this, it deepened her feelings, "I think I have influenced so many people, I can't stop singing." 」 ”
In 2015, Zheng Yi returned to Taiwan and held her first concert in Taipei.
A long time ago, Chen Da, an old Taiwanese folk artist, carrying an old and worn moon organ, shuttled through the streets and alleys, singing "Thoughts Rise" lonely and lonely.
Once, while crossing the street, Chen Da was hit by a car and died on the way to the hospital.
The appearance of Chen Da ignited the spark of many people continuing folk songs, and the light that burned in this instant did not leave anything for Chen Da, but left endless nostalgia for future generations.
"The old singer's piano tone is still there, the legend of Hengchun is not seen alone, the falling mountain wind to the ocean, the sentimentality will disappear, and your rest will continue."
In 1981, Zheng Yi continued his rest note, "singing another piece of thought", and in 2015, Zheng Yi came back to "sing another piece of thought".
As long as there is music, "thoughts" will not stop.
After Huang Jiaju left, he did things that no one else dared to think about
Scolding Faye Wong, revealing his fake singing, "The Originator of the Divine Comedy" is really all for music?
