In 1948, Ye Qitian was born in Chiayi, Taiwan, he was born in poor health, Grandpa was scared to hurry to ask Mazu for protection, when he was young, Ye Qitian's family was very poor, although the economy mainly depended on farming paddy fields, fortunately his father was a teacher who taught Beiguan, there were 9 brothers and sisters in the family, Ye Qitian ranked third.
Childhood Ye Qitian
When he was 13 years old, Ye Qitian went to the Sanshan Theater in Chiayi City with the adults to watch a concert, when Ye Qitian was greatly touched, and soon after, Ye Qitian said to his friends and parents in the village, I want to be a singer.
"First, I want to sing, I want to be famous. Second, I will also think that my family is very sad and has no money. "
Ye Qitian told his parents that he was going to go to the big city of Taipei to develop, although his parents did not support it, but he could not resist his insistence, and finally thought, the 9 babies in the family are not short of this one, you go.
Ye Qitian took the 20 yuan given by his parents, he left the poor and remote hometown of Shuiyucuo, and took the express train to Taipei, although Ye Qitian had great ambitions, but in Taipei, where he was not familiar with life, he also had two eyes and one black, and temporarily lived in a small hotel in Mengjia.
Yes, it is the Gang gang mentioned in the Taiwanese gangster movie "Mengjia", and later Ye Qitian's life was also related to the gangster.
As many people expected, this 14-year-old boy did not find a suitable job, helping others sell fish at the fish stall in the vegetable market, earning some living expenses, and after 3 months, Ye Qitian returned home.
No way, such a stunned young man has no resources, it is too difficult to make his debut, but back to his hometown, the neighbors said that Ye Qitian has matured a lot and is more polite to people, and the elders said that this child has seen the world.
Two months later, Ye Qitian ran to Taipei again, although he still helped people sell fish in Mengjia, but he firmly believed that he could be a singer.
When you go out, you still rely on your fellow countrymen.
Later, one day, Ye Qitian met a fellow in Mengjia, this fellow is selling white flower oil, he has a propaganda car, running around in the streets and alleys every day, there will be some people standing on the car singing and dancing to do the tour, Ye Qitian feels that although it is not a formal stage, he is one step closer to his dream.
In this way, Ye Qitian began not to sell fish, began to sing around with the propaganda car, and wandered around for more than 2 years, the money was not earned, but he did not starve to death, but the fire in his heart would not be extinguished.
When he was 15 years old, Ye Qitian was wandering around Ximending, there were many dance halls and theaters nearby, he happened to meet Mr. WenXia with the popular Taiwanese singer group "Wenxia Four Sisters" at that time, when Wenxia they bought medicine from the pharmacy, Ye Qitian suddenly had a premonition that his life had ushered in an important moment, it was really a godsend, Ye Qitian plucked up enough courage, pounced forward, confessed that he wanted to learn to sing with a teacher, Wenxia saw it and said:
"Who are you?" I'm not available. "
Ye Qitian's dream for 2 years was shattered in an instant, but he did not give up aspiring to become a singer.
One day, Ye Qitian found the contact information of some singers in a singing practice book, one of whom was Guo Dacheng, and he plucked up the courage to run to the bookstore of singer Guo Dacheng, and with the directness and sincerity of the countrymen, he directly said that he wanted to learn from the teacher, hoping that the teacher could cultivate and promote himself as a singer.
Guo Dacheng was stunned by the sincerity and directness of the young man in front of him, and replied kindly:
"Okay."
Ye Qitian hurried to guo Dacheng's face at that time, and sang two songs that he was good at, "The Little Girl" and "Daddy Often Thinks of You", one of which relied on Ye Qitian's vision of love, and the other was the mood of missing his family alone in a foreign land.
Although there was no formal singing training, Guo Dacheng was deeply moved, and taught Ye Qitian some singing skills at that time, and pointed out Ye Qitian's mistakes sentence by sentence.
At the age of 16, Guo Dacheng gave Ye Qitian two songs, "Neishan Girl" and "Tomb Boy Pu Also Dare to Go", saying that you should sing it. Ye Qitian was flattered, and the two songs were brought back to chiayi's hometown by himself.
Ye Qitian said that he had "practiced 1,000 times each of these two songs", thinking of charging records as soon as possible, and finally at the end of 1964, he suddenly received a telegram from his teacher Guo Dacheng:
"Hurry up to Taipei and enter the studio in a few days."
Ye Qitian was so excited that he waited for the notice of Tsinghua Peking University and came to Taipei to know that the original record company did not intend to let Ye Qitian sing, hoping that Guo Dacheng would sing, but Guo Dacheng had contracts from other companies, so he recommended his apprentice Ye Qitian to sing.
This mentorship and apprenticeship made Ye Qitian unforgettable, and many years later, Guo Dacheng was still the one who could make Ye Qitian kneel and cry.
Ye Qitian, like several other people, co-recorded a record, signed a contract with Venus Records, and happily returned home with 400 yuan.
"At that time, the first album was popular, and every album seemed to be popular. I only know that I seem to be very red, and I don't understand anything else, so I am embarrassed. "
Since then, Ye Qitian has ascended to the Taiwanese music scene, becoming one of the oldest and brightest superstars in singing, and at the age of 17, he began to become popular with "Neishan Girl" and "Tomb Boy Pu Also Dare to Go", and at the age of 21, he was selected as the "King of Treasure Island Songs".
"Northern Radio jointly held 10 major singer elections, listeners sent postcards to the radio to vote for their favorite singers, the 10 singers with the most votes went to school to sing for 3 days, sold tickets and added 1 ticket, and voted again at the end, and finally the most votes for boys were me, and the most girls were Yuya."
Although there are many singers in Taiwan, there are not many Taiwanese songs, such as Luo Dayou, Jay Chou, Wang Lihong, SHE, are mainly Chinese songs, Ye Qitian once revived Taiwanese songs and revitalized the market, it can be said that the greatest contribution.

After being selected as the "Treasure Island Singer King" at the age of 21, Ye Qitian's star road was very good, but he did not expect that at the age of 29, Ye Qitian ushered in a turning point in his destiny.
In the 1970s, Taiwanese songs were banned, and the radio was not allowed to broadcast them, so Ye Qitian had to turn to the show, mixing fish and dragons in the dance hall, often making trouble with small gangsters, some people on the underworld were red-eyed, often making trouble and blackmailing.
On June 12, 1977, when the 29-year-old Ye Qitian was performing in Tainan, the members of the troupe had a serious conflict with the underworld, and the bodyguard shot and killed a person, and Ye Qitian, as the person in charge, became a wanted criminal for "instigating murder".
Ye Qitian turned himself in, this lawsuit was fought for 4 years, he was once found not guilty, but later sentenced to 7 years in prison, Ye Qitian heard the sentence of 7 years, directly scared away, escaped for 132 days and finally arrested.
Ye Qitian, who served a three-year sentence in prison from 1982 to 1985, thought about freedom every day in prison: all day long his eyes looked out, he thought about the world outside the wall, but he couldn't get by.
In prison, he made 6 plans for himself: 1, to reflect on his mistakes; 2, to practice guitar and study singing; 3, to read the dictionary to learn Chinese; 4, to make a life plan for the long, medium, and short distances; 5, to write a book; and 6, to learn English.
Half a year after being released from prison, Ye Qitian returned to the music scene and had his own wishful thinking: "1 year market research, 2nd year competition, 3rd year flat world." In 1988, a song "Love to Fight to Win" brought Ye Qitian back to the peak.
Once a person falls, it is difficult to stand up again, but once he really stands up again, then he will get more praise and likes than before, just like Pan Yueming and Shi Yuzhu of business.
The song "Love to Fight to Win", because it means that even if you fall down, you must maintain hard work, self-confidence, and very positive energy, and are often used by many elections to make a momentum song.
At this time, Ye Qitian, who had returned to the top, felt that instead of taking the election, it was better for me to run for the election.
Ye Qitian began to enter the political arena under the super popularity.
"I spent 3 years reading political books and understanding politics, and my goal was to run for office (in 1992)."
As we all know, the so-called candidacy in addition to politics, is actually a game of local tycoons burning money, just like Trump, and what is more frightening is that Ye Qitian owes a large debt because he does not have any political party support.
"If you lose less in the election, you will all be finished if you lose the election, so he will owe people money." Guo Dacheng, who was also the benefactor who promoted Ye Qitian's debut, said with pain.
In the first election, Ye Qitian took out all the money for singing, spent all the 30 million he saved, burned 800,000 yuan a day, and could only borrow it from friends.
Ye Qitian ran for the law enforcement committee 4 times, was elected 2 times, owed hundreds of millions of foreign debts, the door of the family was sealed three times, his wife had no choice, signed a divorce with him, and went to the United States with a pair of children.
In the 5th campaign, Ye Qitian was found to be suffering from pneumonia and finally gave up.
"My hands were shaking, my chest was burning like fire; my mouth was dry, my brain was constricted, and I wanted to say that I would be lifeless in 5 or 10 minutes."
During that time, Ye Qitian suffered from panic disorder and almost thought of suicide, and in 2017, Ye Qitian came back at the age of 69, although he has been paying back, he still has 70 or 80 million yuan of debt to repay.
Fortunately, some of the creditors are Ye Qitian's friends, and they also think that he is old, and they feel that they have to forget it and do not have to pay it back.
Ye Qitian: "I feel very embarrassed in my heart, and some people will say that it is okay, because this is the money I spent in the election, not the kind of money that I spent indiscriminately." "
Ye Qitian, who once became popular in the Chinese-speaking world with "Love to Fight to Win", is now in the age of ancient rarity, and when looking back on the past, he said:
"Life still has to be plain, you can fight, but you can't fight randomly."
