Alan Tam was born in 1950 and has had a passion for music since he was a child. He prefers to listen to the repertoire of Western rock bands such as The Beatles and Rolling Stones, and is also actively engaged in the practice of playing and singing himself.
However, in the Tan family, music was not his father's expectation. His father was a professional footballer who played for the Hong Kong South China team and was a legend in Hong Kong football.
He hoped that his eldest son would inherit and develop the business, so he was very disgusted by Alan Tam's contact with music.
This contradiction made the young Alan Tam feel painful and troubled. He couldn't satisfy his inner love for music, nor could he get his father's support and respect, as if his choice had been denied.
In the estrangement between his parents and his children, Alan Tam felt helpless and hesitant.
In order to please his father and gain his approval, Alan Tam was sent to Singapore to study finance. There, he had no interest in his major, and he felt that he could not adapt to the living environment.
The torture of loneliness and stress caused Alan Tam to gradually fall into depression, and even had to return to China urgently to recuperate due to the deterioration of hepatitis.
It was in the process of returning to China to recuperate that Alan Tam rekindled his love for music. He made up his mind to give up finance altogether, and bravely chose the path of pursuing his musical dreams.
However, this decision once again sparked strong opposition from the family, especially the father. They saw it as a waste of precious time and opportunity, and a heated argument broke out between father and son.
Even in the face of strong resistance from his family, Alan Tam still insisted on his choice and pursued his inner dream openly. Unafraid, he chose to move forward and fight for his musical ideals.
This dedication and courage to the dream is undoubtedly awe-inspiring.
From the struggles of his youth to his final determination to choose the path of music, Alan Tam's artistic pursuit has been magnificent. His indomitable spirit, as well as his insistence on his inner love, laid a solid foundation for his later rise in the music industry.
This difficult growth process has undoubtedly become an indelible part of Alan Tam's life.
Career take-off, love and marriage
While Alan Tam was struggling to find himself and pursue his musical dreams, another fateful arrangement quietly came. In 1973, fate made him meet Yang Jiewei, who would become his lifelong partner.
This gentle and intelligent girl is not only Alan Tam's classmate, but also happened to become a neighbor.
From the first time they met, Yang Jiewei fell in love with Alan Tam at first sight. She bravely confided her heart to the man who had just given up his financial dreams to devote himself to music.
Alan Tam was also deeply moved by her gentleness and sincerity, and the two quickly fell in love.
Yang Jiewei fully supports Alan Tam's decision to pursue his music dream. Whether it is the company when practicing or the encouragement on stage, she always stands firmly by the side of her lover.
In order to be able to take better care of Alan Tam, she even temporarily put aside her studies and career and devoted herself wholeheartedly to this relationship. It can be said that Yang Jiewei is Alan Tam's most solid backing and most loyal partner.
In 1974, Alan Tam and a few like-minded partners formed the Band Winna. With their unique musical style and innovative performances, the band quickly attracted a large number of young fans and became a milestone in the history of rock music in Hong Kong.
As the soul of the band, Alan Tam also took advantage of this to emerge as a rising star in the Hong Kong music industry.
Although the band finally announced its disbandment in 1978, this did not stop Alan Tam from moving forward. He began experimenting with different musical styles, including pop songs, folk songs, dance, etc., and actively dabbled in the field of acting in films and TV series.
With his tireless efforts and outstanding talent, he eventually succeeded in elevating himself to the leadership of Hong Kong's music industry, earning him the reputation of "the king of Asia".
Hidden moral decay
As Alan Tam's career continues to expand, his life has become more hectic and challenging. However, this once affectionate man has gradually faded his kindness, showing more pride and self-centered tendencies.
Alan Tam began to leave Yeung's emotional and material needs behind, devoting a lot of time to work and social activities, and the opportunities to spend time with his wife were greatly reduced.
Even, he maintained an indifferent attitude towards Yang Jiewei's physical and mental health, completely ignoring his responsibilities as a husband.
What's even more distressing is that Alan Tam began to secretly have scandals with other women, reneged on his marriage vows, and launched a provocation to social justice and moral bottom line.
What is particularly shocking is the promiscuous and ugly affair between him and a young female fan named Zhu Yongting.
This secret romance went on for years, and Alan Tam cleverly used lies and deception to cover up their relationship in order to protect their privacy.
This covert infidelity reached its peak in 2002. That year, Alan Tam and Alan Chu welcomed a son, named Tan Junyan. This child is an ironclad proof of their sin, but it is also a symbol of their forbidden love affair.
What's even more outrageous is that Alan Tam actually hid all this under Yang Jiewei's nose. He even left his huge fortune to this illegitimate son, instead of the wife who accompanied him through the long years.
Yang Jiewei had no idea about this, and it was not until 2006 that an impurity called "East Weekly" completely exposed the secret.
This disclosure made the always docile Yang Jiewei feel extremely desperate and painful. She thinks that her life has been ruthlessly destroyed by Alan Tam, and it is difficult to accept this fact.
Eventually, she had to file for divorce, ending her 25-year marriage and choosing to convert to Buddhism for solace.

As a result, his career also fell into a trough, losing the support of many fans and movie fans, and his music and film works were met with a cold reception and boycott.
In the face of everything he caused, Alan Tam did not show due apology and self-blame. Instead, he simply insisted that he was an ordinary man, entitled to pursue his own emotional needs and self-restraint, and that he was not at fault.
He also resolutely denied the marriage and love relationship with Zhu Yongting and the existence of his illegitimate child, claiming that they had never lived together.
However, Alan Tam seems to be unable to understand that it is these acts of deception and perfidy that have brought endless pain and bitterness to his wife, mistress, children and many fans.
He selfishly put his personal emotional needs above the bottom line of morality, trampled on everyone's feelings, and was condemned and spurned by the world.
