Time passes, even if memories accumulate or fade away.
But there are always some people's voices that travel through time and space and always haunt you.
Fei Yuqing, a generation of singers, has disappeared from the public eye for five years.
But his elegant and soulful singing voice is still soothing countless tired hearts.
The people are not in the rivers and lakes, but the rumors about him have never stopped. He was once reprimanded by his sister for "not pulling out a dime", and he was also rumored to be seriously ill.
In the 46 years since his debut, he sang the most affectionate songs, said the most spicy jokes, was scolded for paying off his sister's debts, and kept his life alone just for a relationship.
Fei Yuqing's legendary life accompanied by beauty and regret is not the epitome of many people's mental journey.
01
Wear the most formal suit and dance the most bewitching dance
"True love is like a vast grassland, and layers of wind and rain cannot be blocked"
"A cut of cold plums stands proudly in the snow, only for the fragrance of the Yiren"......
In the poetic and romantic Chinese music scene in the 80s, Fei Yuqing relied on a fresh and affectionate song "A Cut of Plum".
It seems to have a refreshing winter plum fragrance, which warms and purifies the hearts of countless people.
His name has also shone in the music world since then.
The suit is straight, gentle and elegant, soft-spoken, and sings at a 45-degree elevation angle, which is Fei Yuqing's iconic image.
In the hearts of mainland audiences in the eighties and nineties, Fei Yuqing was a humble gentleman with a golden voice and gentle as jade.
However, after entering the Internet era, everyone was shocked to realize that in addition to being a singer, Fei Yuqing was also the originator of variety show imitation shows and a master of spicy meat segments.
The versatility and humor he showed on stage allowed people to see a different side of him.
This ability to switch freely between the two heavens of ice and fire without disobedience is due to his legendary acting experience.
In 1955, Fei Yuqing was born in a family of civil servants in Taipei, and his real name was Zhang Yanting.
There are three sisters and brothers in the family, the eldest sister Fei Zhenya was a smash hit star when she was young, and the second brother Zhang Fei later became a well-known host.
At the age of 17, Fei Yuqing participated in a singing competition with the encouragement of his sister, and he wore a school uniform on stage and won the fourth place, and since then he has embarked on the road of singing.
Four years later, under the active recommendation of his sister, Fei Yuqing was appreciated by Liu Jiachang, a big name in the entertainment industry, and successfully signed a record company, officially starting his singing career.
His voice is clean and refined, soft and warm, as if the wind is blowing through his heart, lingering with a faint meaning and strong affection. In the soft chanting and low singing, it can always give people a deep touch.
The media once praised him as a representative male singer of lyrical songs, "Teresa Teng for women and Fei Yuqing for men".
In the six years from 1981 to 1986, Fei Yuqing won the top ten most popular singers in Taiwan's "Golden Voice Award" in a row, and was known as the "Golden Voice Singer" in the Taiwanese music scene in the 80s.
His singing voice not only swept Taiwan, but also spread throughout China with the hit of the TV series "One Cut Plum".
This song became one of his masterpieces and made more people remember this personable and talented singer.
At that time, who would have thought that he would show a completely different side on the stage, transforming into an imitator and a master of meat jokes?
The second brother Zhang Fei is like a fish in water in the variety show industry, he took a fancy to Fei Yuqing's potential, so he pulled him to co-host the variety show "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother".
How popular is this variety show? As soon as the show was broadcast, it swept Taiwan, and the Douban score was as high as 9.5 points.
The brothers turned on the cross talk mode, holding and teasing, and there were "whoa" everywhere, and the demonic celebrity imitation show and spicy meat jokes in the show made people laugh and cry, and they couldn't stop.
With this variety show, Fei Yuqing and Zhang Fei also won the Taiwan "Golden Bell Award" Best Variety Show Host Award.
In the show, Fei Yuqing's imitation won the essence of the performance.
As the magic music of "Love Cha Cha" sounded, Fei Yuqing, who was in a straight suit, pouted his hips, twisted his body enchantingly, and his hearty dancing not only laughed at the audience, but even the accompanying musicians laughed so much that they couldn't play the instrument.
He imitated Cai Qin in person, and between low and shallow singing, his eyes switched instantly, smiling and moving.
The cold and charming, playful and free and easy are vividly displayed, and Cai Qin is smiling from ear to ear.
Speaking of meat jokes, Fei Yuqing even opened his mouth to come.
He can always tell the meat jokes with a serious expression and a passionate way of telling.
The audience is not only not disgusted, but feels that his meat jokes are dirty and colorless, and regards him as a clear stream in the hands of the jokes.
In this regard, Fei Yuqing said: "Only with a clean mind can we tell meat jokes frankly." ”
Since his debut, Fei Yuqing has not been riddled with scandals, although many female stars have taken the initiative to confess to him, but he has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf has touched him.
He also "wished to have one heart", but that unforgettable love finally fell into the dust and became the deepest treasure in his heart.
02
Thousands of miles of love regret is missing, infatuation for a lifetime
"I'll send you away, thousands of miles away, you are silent black and white, silent age, maybe it shouldn't be, too far away to love. ”
When recording the song "A Thousand Miles Away" with Jay Chou, Fei Yuqing sang until he burst into tears several times.
Ask what the world is like, only lovesick people can understand the pain of love but not love.
In 1977, during a performance in Taipei, Fei Yuqing met a Japanese girl named Chie Yasui.
On the stage, his singing voice flowed like a clear spring, and she was deeply attracted by this beautiful singing voice off the stage.
After the performance, she eagerly went backstage just to take a photo with him.
This group photo seems to indicate the fate that is about to unfold between the two.
A year later, Fei Yuqing went to Japan to perform, and Chie Yasui also bought tickets for the front row early, looking forward to seeing him again.
After the show, she made her way through the crowd and went backstage just to get his autograph.
This encounter brought the two hearts closer together.
In those years, Fei Yuqing frequently traveled back and forth between Japan and Taipei, and every parting and reunion made their feelings deeper and deeper.
There are not too many gorgeous vows, but Fei Yuqing always holds Yasui Chie's hand tightly and takes her to various award ceremonies, so that she can feel all his glory and joy.
In 1981, Fei Yuqing and Chie Yasui held a grand engagement celebration.
However, love is a matter of two people, and marriage is more than that.
At the invitation of Chie Yasui's father, Fei Yuqing came to her home for the first time, only to find out that she was actually from a famous family in Japan.
In the face of this marriage with a huge disparity, Chie Yasui's father put forward harsh marriage conditions: quit the entertainment industry, join the Japanese nationality, and the child takes the mother's surname.
This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Fei Yuqing.
He is deeply in love with Chie Yasui, but he can't give up his career and identity either. And Chie Yasui is also in a dilemma.
In the end, the two could only say goodbye with tears, and this relationship became the regret of Fei Yuqing's life.
We met again in 2007.
At that time, Fei Yuqing was standing on a luxury cruise ship and singing "A Thousand Miles Away" affectionately.
And Yasui Chie happened to pass by, and when she heard the familiar singing, she desperately boarded the cruise ship to find Fei Yuqing's figure.
reunited again, the past is vivid, but Chie Yasui has become a wife and mother.
The two people who originally loved each other were speechless and choked in the face of each other, perhaps this is the impermanence of fate and the helplessness of life.
Many people have asked Fei Yuqing why he has been single, and he replied indifferently: "It's not just holding hands to ignite a love, and it's not just a woman who can live half a life." ”
Perhaps, despite the passage of time and the fact that things are different from people, whether he sees or does not see it, whether he thinks it or not, the deep affection has always been cherished in his heart, and it is enough.

The fetters of family affection are unspeakably bitter, and the wind is light and light when they turn around
In 2020, a debt news about Fei Yuqing's sister Fei Zhenya shocked the entertainment industry.
In an interview, she accused her younger brother Fei Yuqing of "not pulling out a dime" and not saving her when she died.
The experience of this sister is also quite legendary.
She imitated Marilyn Monroe when she was young, and in the relatively conservative era of the 70s, she became popular with her bold and avant-garde style and hot performances, and was dubbed the "Venus of the East" by the media.
After becoming famous, Fei Zhenya spared no effort to support her two younger brothers. She used her network resources in the entertainment industry to pave the way for Zhang Fei and Fei Yuqing to become stars.
It can be said that without Fei Zhenya's guidance and help, there would be no "Enchantress (Fei Zhenya), Clown (Zhang Fei), and Sage (Fei Yuqing)" combinations that later became popular in Taiwan.
The song "One Cut Plum" is the singing opportunity that Fei Zhenya won for Fei Yuqing, which also became an important turning point in Fei Yuqing's singing career.
Fei Yuqing has always remembered his sister's dedication, and he once confessed affectionately at the concert:
"I am grateful to my sister for giving me so much, and all my awards and glory are half of hers. ”
However, just when her younger brothers' careers were in full swing, the 40-year-old Fei Zhenya chose to become a monk and become a "Master Hengshu".
Her decision shocked and puzzled many, but even more shocking was her lifestyle after becoming a monk.
Master Hengshu's life is extremely luxurious, wearing a customized million-dollar robe, endorsing diamond brands, drinking and eating meat on variety shows, and going in and out of various entertainment venues.
She also accompanies four "Dharma Protector" disciples all year round, known as the "Buddha F4".
This subversive "monastic" way of life, according to Venerable Hengshu, is called Hongchen Practice.
In March 2020, Master Hengshu was revealed to have a debt of nearly NT$40 million. In order to repay her debts, she started live broadcasts and shows, and frantically complained that her brother was slamming the door and refused to help herself repay the money.
She even gave Zhang Fei and Fei Yuqing the nicknames "Governor of Taiwan" and "Chinese Toothbrush" respectively, alluding to their money-saving and non-curvy skills.
Faced with her sister's accusations, Fei Yuqing chose to remain silent.
And Zhang Fei came forward to clarify, saying that the brothers had just helped their sister repay more than 14 million debts, but she didn't expect her to owe a huge amount of money.
He also revealed that he and Fei Yuqing have repaid NT$200 million in debt for their sister over the years, and her sister has also signed a letter of commitment many times before saying that she will not drag down her two younger brothers.
Zhang Fei reluctantly said that Fei Yuqing had begged her sister to return to the vulgar and promised to be responsible for raising her, but her sister did not listen to persuasion.
Despite this, Fei Yuqing would still give her 100,000 living expenses every month, and never ignored her.
is completely different from her sister's controversial "practice" method from the outside world, Fei Yuqing's decision to quit the music scene is a kind of "wave your sleeves and don't take away a cloud".
In many interviews, Fei Yuqing has revealed his yearning for a simple life.
He said that he didn't feel that his life alone was lonely, and that having the company of his family and the support of his fans was enough to make him feel happy and satisfied.
In those years, his parents were his deepest concern, and he has been trying to become the pride of his parents.
Whenever he stands on the stage, he can always feel the ardent expectations and endless love of his parents.
However, in 2010 and 2017, he lost his mother and father successively.
For Fei Yuqing, the death of his parents is undoubtedly the heaviest blow in his life.
After losing his parents, he seemed to have lost the focus and support of his life.
Although he still has the care of countless fans and friends, the loneliness and loss in his heart are indescribable.
Without the attention and sharing of parents, no matter how gorgeous the stage is, it has lost its original color.
In 2018, Fei Yuqing made an important decision: to complete the national tour in one year, thank the fans for their support over the years, and then bid farewell to the stage to pursue the idyllic life he longed for.
The Taipei concert on November 7, 2019 was the last stop of Fei Yuqing's farewell concert.
That night, he did his best to present a wonderful and unforgettable performance for the fans.
After each song, he would bow deeply to the audience and thank him, and humbly express his gratitude to the fans: "Thank you for your appreciation", "I'm sorry to let you break the bank"......
When singing "I Wish People Were Long", Fei Yuqing was uncontrollable, and choked up and cried several times.
He tried to calm down, took a deep breath, and sang the classic lyrics with tears in his eyes: "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for a thousand miles." ”
Since then, Fei Yuqing has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes and retired to the pastoral life he has longed for. Let the rivers and lakes spread his legend.
Fei Yuqing's life is like his singing, full of affection and sighs.
Although love has never really come, despite experiencing the separation of relatives, there is a life of regret in order to truly understand the meaning of cherishing.
The most beautiful scenery in life may not lie in how much you have, but in whether you have loved, understood, and let go.
Just like the chic back left by Fei Yuqing when he turned around, at that moment, it turned into an eternity in the hearts of countless people.
