One is to "Look Back" and "Plum Blossom Three Alleys"
Popular Jiang Yuheng,
The other is singing

Zhang Haozhe, who has maintained his popularity all the way.
Zhang Haozhe,
It can be regarded as the originator of the "Korean Wave" in the Chinese music scene.
He is different from Jiang Yuheng, whose ancestral home is Shandong and has an uncompromising Chinese ancestry, while Jang Ho-chol's ancestors are Koreans, born in Seoul in January 1962 to a wealthy family, he has been exposed to classical music since childhood.
In 1982, the 20-year-old Zhang Ho-che decided to come to Taiwan to study Chinese because he loved Chinese and Chinese literature, and successively studied at the Department of Literature of Taiwan Culture University and the Institute of Political Research of National Taiwan University. Originally, he wanted to return to Korea to be a teacher of Chinese after completing his studies, but during the summer vacation, bored, he ran to a popular folk song restaurant in Taiwan at that time.
That song hall is the land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, Lee Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian, Zhou Zhiping and other big celebrities often haunt here, they feel that the voice of this Korean student is very distinctive, so they recommended it to Chen Meiwei, the producer of PolyGram Records.
Polygram executives were unanimously optimistic about Zhang Haozhe, and in this way, Zhang Haozhe released his debut solo album "I Really Didn't Mean it" in 1988.
The producer of this record is Liang Hongzhi, who set a record for the first Korean to release a Chinese record in Taiwan, the main title "I Really Didn't Mean" composed by Chen Fuming, Chen Huichun / Sasha lyrics, said the philosophy of life, portrayed the lover's self-blame after the breakup, and also became the best endorsement song for the other party after the couple quarreled.
Someone once used such two sentences to describe Zhang Haozhe, "standing at the intersection of the street where the north wind whistles, precipitating the vicissitudes of a thousand sails", which is quite appropriate, whether it is his beard, tall and burly figure, or his unique hoarse voice, it does give people a sense of rough and heroic vicissitudes.
Such a person using such a voice to sing a song with a soothing rhythm and chanting true feelings is really a special flavor, which is the unique charm of Zhang Haozhe.
Compared with the first two popular songs, this "Mirror Empty Bottle Thirty Years" created by Lin Qiuli and Xiong Meiling has been ignored, but it is definitely a pearl in the sea, and the philosophical lyrics match the lingering and melancholy of the Sassy style, and Zhang Haozhe's vicissitudes and hoarse voice line create an atmosphere full of male charm.
In 1989, Poly Gold quickly became a hit and became popular Zhang Haozhe to the next city, "Not I Am Not Careless" album launched and caused a sensation, continuing the image of Zhang Hozhe's affectionate man, the theme of "Not I Am Careless" Melody, lyrics, singing are perfect, with irresistible appeal, but also became one of the representative works of the "typhoon" to attack Hong Kong, and was covered by Li Keqin into the Cantonese version of "Unchanged for a Lifetime" has become a classic.
In 1989, PolyKin released his third album for Zhang Haozhe, "North Wind Crossing the River" was produced by Huang Qingyuan, a friend of Zhang Haozhe University, when Taiwan was blowing a wave of nostalgia, a song "North Wind" portrayed the rootless loneliness of Zhang Haozhe when he first arrived in Taiwan, and Zhang Haozhe's magnetic and desolate voice appropriately sang people's helplessness into people's hearts, and this song composed by Huang Qingyuan, He Qihong, Yin Wenqi, and the very infectious "North Wind" won the second Taiwan Golden Melody Award." Best Composition of the Year", and Zhang Haozhe was also nominated for "Best Male Singer of the Year" at the 2nd Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.
"Every time I want to call out your name" the first singer for Taiwan's unique "grasshopper prince" Li Shuquan, Jacky Cheung has also sung, Zhang Haozhe also included his own version in this album, rough and heroic and affectionate Zhang Hozhe sang a heart-rending pain in this love song.
"Crossing the River", written by dolls and composed by Tong Ange, is another title song on the album. The rhythm of the song is soothing, and Zhang Haozhe's voice is low and tense. Here life is likened to a river, and the lonely person is likened to a ferryman wandering by the river, looking for a ferry. Love flows through life like a river; people who have lost their love drift with fate. The ferry port cannot be asked for in the fog, and love is just a luxury of life.
In 1991, he released his fourth solo album "The World Is Haunting", in 1994, he released his fifth solo album "Derailed Love Song" and the album "Helpless", in the same year, he established the "Two Brushes" music studio and began to produce his own album records, but there were no more popular songs from the previous three albums.
In 1996, a song "Good Man" once again let Zhang Hozhe return to the career high position, this "Good Man" by Yao Ruolong lyrics, Zhang Hanqun composed, catchy "Good Man" sang many people crying, but also sang a lot of pain, with Zhang Hozhe's personality, all fans have identified Zhang Haozhe is the standard of a good man.
In 1998, he was awarded the "Outstanding Korean Overseas" by The President of the Republic of Korea, Kim Dae-jung.
And in fact,
Zhang Haozhe has praised and depreciated in emotional matters,
The name "good man" has also been controversial.
The relationship between Zhang Hozhe and his wife is also music, and they met at the Taiwanese folk song restaurant where Zhang Hozhe dreamed of taking off. At that time, Zhang Hozhe was singing in the restaurant, and every day a girl would sit in the same seat and order the same song - Su Rui's "Slowly", which was the first Chinese song that Zhang Haozhe learned in Taiwan.
It turned out that the girl was an investor in the restaurant, and the two met and sparked a love spark, and they fell in love for more than 3 years and married. After marriage, Zhang Haozhe's singing career continued to rise, his fame soared, and in 1991, Zhang Haozhe's daughter was born, and the family of three was happy and harmonious.
In 1998, Zhang Haozhe released the 11th album, his wife unfortunately suffered from breast cancer, Zhang Haozhe's world suddenly became very dark, but he understood that the biggest strength at this time came from himself, in order to let his wife have the confidence to recover, Zhang Haozhe chose to retire from the music scene and concentrate on taking care of his wife at home.
Under his careful care, the sick wife had the most stable and gentle dependence, and the deterioration of the disease was greatly reduced. But the creation of people, a few years later, the wife who originally thought she would slowly get better suddenly found out that she had liver cancer!
Knowing that she was running out of days, she made a wish to Zhang Haozhe - hoping that he could produce a new record. Zhang Haozhe tearfully agreed to his wife, so he had a ninth album "Lovers", which was as a final gift to his wife. Shortly after the album's release, in 2005, his wife left him.
From his wife's breast cancer detection in 1998 to his death in 2005, Zhang Haozhe gave up his career to accompany his wife through the last days of his life, Zhang Haozhe is undoubtedly a respectable and good man.
But two years later,
"Good Man" was met by paparazzi candid photographs
Man-made collapse.
In 2007, Taiwanese media took photos of him and Zhang Shaohan's mother on an intimate late-night date, and the two not only walked out of the hotel hand in hand, but also couldn't help but kiss passionately on the street. At that time, Zhang Shaohan's parents did not formally divorce, and public opinion pushed Zhang Haozhe to the edge of "third party" for a while.
Afterwards, Zhang Haozhe denied this relationship, the two did not come together in the end, Zhang Haozhe has always praised fans for his vicissitudes and deep "good man" image, and he could not imagine that when he debuted 20 years ago, he encountered such a storm, which caught him a little off guard.
"If you go back in time,
It all repeats itself,
Will I understand the point of life"
Today, Zhang Haozhe has no new works, occasionally attends commercial performances in the mainland, and the most sung is still "Good Man", he still loves Chinese culture, and has repeatedly emphasized that "I am the first Korean singer to sing in China in Chinese, and I have contributed to sino-Korean cultural exchanges."
After experiencing the ups and downs of life, this "good man" has long understood the key points of life, calm, not impatient, not happy and sad, not big ups and downs, plain and simple is true.
