During the millennium, a song called "Xiasha" resounded through the streets and became a hit on the major pop music charts of that year.
The name of the singer "You Hongming" was also known to everyone at this time.
The song "Xiasha" is still a must-have song for many people to go to KTV.
In addition to "Xiasha", You Hongming also has representative works, such as "White Lover", "The Person Who Loves Me and the Person I Love", etc., but why has there been no new development in recent years for such a popular original strength singer?
01
You Hongming was born in Taipei, Taiwan Province in 1968.
There are five children in the family, and You Hongming is the fourth. You Hongming's childhood is no different from the childhood of his brother and brother.
Going up the mountain to catch birds, going down the river to catch fish, and digging bird nests in trees is very naughty, but the difference is that You Hongming has been very interested in music since he was very young, and he has also shown extraordinary talent on it.
At that time, he had already begun to imitate and learn to sing from the radio and radio, dreaming of becoming a singer one day.
When he was a little older, in the era of the popularity of martial arts films and martial arts novels, You Hongming, who was in middle school, became interested in "Jianghu" again, fantasizing about becoming a chivalrous guest.
Adolescent children are always like this, and may be changing their dreams every day.
But gradually, You Hongming's interest returned to music.
At the age of the beginning of the love sinus, in order to win the smile of the girls he liked, You Hongming learned to play the guitar. This also became the beginning of his musical path.
After entering the university, You Hongming began to be keen to participate in the singing competition in the school, and he could achieve some good results in each competition, which further stimulated You Hongming's love for music.
In this way, four years passed in a flash, and You Hongming finished his career.
But instead of choosing the music industry, he became a company planner.
After all, it is too risky to make money from music to make a living.
02
You Hongming, who became an ordinary clerk, was grumpy about not being able to make music.
So he began looking around for related part-time jobs.
Eventually, he found a restaurant and became a resident singer under the stage name of "You Huai".
After the busyness of the company ended every day, he came to the restaurant after work, which made You Hongming feel that all the day had disappeared.
It was also during this period that You Hongming knew Zhang Yu, Yuan Weiren, and Mo Fan, who were also playing music at that time.
The four of them were like-minded and became good friends.
Recalling the days of singing at that time, You Hongming said that at that time, it was popular to sing what was popular, running several fields every day, riding a motorcycle to sing one place at a time, carrying a guitar in the wind and rain, but not feeling bitter.
Among several people, You Hongming has the best temper and is a "good sir", and when he encounters an audience who does not listen to the song seriously, You Hongming will not be angry, and he will not sing like his friend Zhang Yu because of this matter.
In this case, the good-natured You Hongming will go to the bottom for his friends, and Zhang Yu will clean up the stall and go up to the top without singing.
The days of singing brought You Hongming a lot of things, whether it was the tempering of singing skills or the experience gained from running performances with friends, which became a valuable asset after his debut.
Soon after, Zhang Yu gradually began to become famous with the album "Walking with Wind", and worshiped under the name of Li Zongsheng.
At that time, Zhang Yu was not the zhang yu who liked to play treasure now, but a very talented singer with strong creative ability.
Yuan Weiren and Mo Fan also won the appreciation of Chen Sheng, and several people often got together to exchange ideas of music creation and share interesting things about mixing in the music circle.
Under such influence, You Hongming also came up with the idea of taking the road of professional music, and was inspired by a lot of inspiration for writing songs and lyrics.

Seeing his friends become famous one by one, You Hongming couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart.
In 1993, You Hongming released his first album, Can't Wait to Tell You.
The album's eponymous title song is from Zhang Yu, inspired by You Hongming's emotional state at that time, and the experience of being broken up eventually became the single that made You Hongming music start.
As soon as the album was released, it received a lot of attention and welcome, a song "You Say You Are More Used to Being Alone", which made You Hongming listed on major music charts.
But overall, the sales data of this album is not optimistic, and You Hongming is under great pressure.
In those days, record companies did give newcomers a chance, but an album was basically abandoned. You Hongming's boss saw his talent and placed high expectations on him, so after the first album, he agreed to let You Hongming try again.
Under such tremendous pressure, You Hongming struggled to create, because this was his last chance.
A year later, You Hongming released his second album, and this time, all of them were Original Songs by You Hongming.
Why You Hongming's singing is very moving, it is very important that the songs are all about stories of personal experience.
The inspiration for the creation of "Falling in Love with a Man" in the second album came from You Hongming's girlfriend at that time was a flight attendant, after the two had a big argument because of a contradiction, the girlfriend went to Los Angeles because of work, and then saw the Los Angeles earthquake You Hongming regretted it in his heart.
Although there are thrills, this story has become a tear-jerking affection in "Falling in Love with Someone".
And what really made You Hongming's fame increase greatly was the "People Who Love Me and The People I Love" in the second album, this song came out, and it spread all over the country, becoming the first place in the major lists, and also becoming You Hongming's representative work.
The gentle and gentle singing voice, as well as the moving and profound lyrics, can interpret the bitterness and sorrow in the song to the extreme, which are the characteristics of You Hongming, and in the Chinese music scene at that time, these points made You Hongming very popular.

In addition to solid singing skills, You Hongming's creative talent cannot be ignored.
In 1998, with the song collection "Ten Thousand Years a Day", You Hongming won the "Golden Melody Award for Best Composer".
After receiving this award, You Hongming was greatly encouraged, and soon after, he released a new album "Snow in May", which soared to 250,000 copies in just two months.
Under the popularity of this album, You Hongming became a popular male singer of the year and ushered in a small climax of his music career.
The year 2000 was you Hongming's turnaround year.
A song "Under the Sand", let You Hongming burn all over the streets and alleys overnight, red through half of the sky.
The heart-wrenching emotions in this song and You Hongming's penetrating voice form a perfect match.
"Xiasha" has completely opened up the popularity of You Hongming, and as long as You Hongming is mentioned today, "Xiasha" will become the first song title that flashes in the minds of many people.
You Hongming's title of "Musical Poet" predates Li Jian, derived from his album "The Tears of poets" released in 2006, and as soon as this album came out, You Hongming's musical characteristics were crowned with poet praise.
With delicate and vivid lyrics, melodious and touching melodies, You Hongming has formed his own unique style of "swim-style love songs" in the Chinese music scene.
In addition to creating his own album, You Hongming also helped many first-line singers write songs at the same time, Zheng Xiuwen's "Understanding", Sun Yanzi's "Bad Weather" and so on, all of which were written by You Hongming.
You Hongming's creative talent is undeniable, and the songs written by You Hongming before and after are as high as more than 400.
You Hongming, who has both singing ability and strength, has become a shining star in Chinese music.

You Hongming's musical attitude is also admirable, when filming the mv of "Xiasha", You Hongming, who has rhinitis for many years, personally went to the desert to participate in the shooting in order to express the desolate feeling in the song.
The feeling of loneliness and sadness that we feel when we watch mv is displayed by You Hongming's personal practice.
The flying yellow sand in the sky and the harsh environment of dry thirst in the desert have made You Hongming's rhinitis frequently attack. In order to shoot walking in the desert for a long time, he once caused You Hongming to go into shock and his life was in danger.
From 1993 to 2009, You Hongming was like a model worker in the music industry, releasing a new album every year, and has always maintained himself in highly efficient music creation.
In the years that followed, there were also many great works.
However, an operation in 2014 greatly affected You Hongming's state.
Because of years of rhinitis and being a singer, the vocal cords began to have problems gradually, and You Hongming had to undergo surgery.
The doctor's reminder before the operation made him afraid.
Because this operation may be greatly affected by You Hongming, it may cause him to be unable to sing in the future. If you don't have surgery, you will face another life-threatening situation.
In desperation, You Hongming had to undergo surgery.
Because of the impact of the operation, the recording progress of You Hongming's new album has been seriously affected, and after continuous postponement, he still launched "RecentLy You Hongming" to explain the latest situation and new songs to fans.
06
After 2015, You Hongming gradually gave up his career and returned to his family.
Wife Huang Yuxiu was once a flight attendant, "In Love with a Person" is written in the story of the two people's interaction period, in 1997, You Hongming and Huang Yuxiu officially married, ending several years of love run.
After marriage, You Hongming and his wife experienced many storms of life and death.
On the day of his wife's childbirth, he almost took away two of You Hongming's loved ones because of heavy bleeding, and in the following years, his wife gave birth to three daughters for You Hongming, and a happy family life never came out of the waves.
Many years later, You Hongming was once again pushed into the public eye, or borrowed the light of the eldest daughter You Yutong, the daughter's appearance has become the focus of netizens' attention, a good inheritance of the parents' high-quality genes, the former "music poet" actually lost to his daughter.
07
In addition to his own musical works, You Hongming rarely mentions his feelings and married life, and does his best not to let his family bear the scrutiny of the media and the public eye.
Since his debut, You Hongming has been an extremely low-key singer who only speaks with music.
Rather than hyping up gossip and fame and fortune, You Hongming is more concerned about music creation, so this has the quality assurance of the first classic of "You's Love Song".
You Hongming, who is low-key and makes music with heart, has left an indelible mark in the history of the Chinese music scene.
Today, You Hongming, who is fifty-three, may have become a kind of past, but the music he composed will always be passed on.
