He recalled that when he was 30 years old, the Orient Express disbanded without warning, which made him fall into a low ebb for nearly 1 year, and he felt very sorry and regretful, "The Orient Express was all I had at that time, and everyone decided not to do it, it was very low. He began to invest in business, including investment in catering, nightclubs, barbecues, lighting and sound equipment, etc., and still holds shares, and was asked if he is free of wealth? 」
It wasn't until the 2003 Golden Horse Awards that the Orient Express was invited to join together, and they had the opportunity to get together, but unfortunately there was a lack of drummers, and asked if there was a chance for all the members to sing together again in the future? Yao Kejie said with a wry smile: "From 06 to now, I also admire those members who will say no, all members are classics, but we must also respect their wishes, especially returning to the screen is also a challenge, because some people may have their own lives, we still have contact, but musically talk less. 」
Talking about her daughter, who has just entered college, Yao Kejie said with a smile: "She can listen to the orchestra, but she just doesn't listen to the Orient Express, once I played Radiohead's "Creep", from that song, she can discuss the music with me at that time, I am very grateful to her for sharing my orchestra hobby, thank her very much." Today, Zhao Chuan also made a special appearance on the platform, and the two who were sung by the arch chorus on the scene agreed to cooperate later, Yao Kejie said: "I want to reproduce a classic 80 rock song with Brother Chuan!" and Zhao Chuan fell at home a few days ago, tearing the meniscus in his left knee, he said that he can't play for 3 months now, and can only do heavy training at home.
