Zhao Yingjun gives the impression that he is a man with an explosive head, and even at the last moment of his life, he has always maintained a cheerful and open-minded attitude.
From the discovery of cancer, he spent two years battling the disease and survived the winter, but did not wait for the spring to symbolize life.
Zhao Yingjun took the little red flower that belonged to him to a distant place, and many people regretted his departure, thinking that he was "jealous of talent".
He was unknown during his lifetime, not many people knew about it, but after his death, the world knew about it, why is this?
Why do countless people feel sorry for his departure? Next, let's walk into the world of Zhao Yingjun and take a look at his legendary story.
01
Zhao Yingjun, formerly known as Zhao Jian, was born in an ordinary family in Fushun, Liaoning Province in 1977.
When he was a child, Zhao Yingjun was relatively delicate, and he was often dressed up as a girl by his mother, but he didn't think it was anything, and his mother liked it.
Zhao Yingjun also often wears girls' clothes and fights with boys, which makes people feel like a tomboy.
He has loved singing since he was a child, and without any basic knowledge of music, he can imitate songs on TV, and he sings quite well.
When he was 10 years old, he began to learn the guitar and performed many times in school, which made his classmates admire him very much.
If he develops according to Zhao Yingjun's own life plan, he must go directly to learn music when he grows up.
What made him helpless was that her parents had already planned a stable route for her, that is, to work in a bank, after all, they were all there, so they had a good care.
Although the bank salary is not particularly high, it is an iron rice bowl, which is very decent and envied by others.
The step-by-step work of the bank made Zhao Yingjun feel a little boring, and at the suggestion of a friend, he worked in the bank during the day and went to the bar to sing at night.
This makes Zhao Yingjun, who already likes music, seem to have found the direction of his life and has the motivation to move forward.
While singing in a bar, Zhao Yingjun met a group of friends who liked music as much as he did, and they formed a band together.
Performing at major events, after a few years, he has a small reputation in the local area, and Zhao Yingjun is also regarded as the "king of rock and roll" in their eyes.
After gaining some fame, Zhao Yingjun found that singing was more interesting than working in a bank, and he made more money than the bank.

For this reason, he told his parents that he would quit his job in the bank to pursue his music dream, although his parents disagreed, he still resolutely resigned from the bank job.
With his few luggage, he embarked on the road to the north in style.
Zhao Yingjun, who first arrived in Beijing, rented a cheap basement with a friend to live in.
When the accommodation problem was solved, they began to look for jobs, and they hit a wall one after another, which made them deeply shocked, and the outside world turned out to be so cruel.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally a newly opened bar owner left them, but the salary was only fifty yuan a day.
Although it was not much, he still agreed, but the fifty yuan was not enough for him to go home.
But life had to go on, so I paid one day at a time, and after a while, the business of the bar improved.
The boss also added a little to their salary, which was enough for Zhao Yingjun to live in Beijing and see hope.
In 2004, mainland pop music began to become popular, and Yang Chengang's "Mice Love Rice" was popular all over the country at that time, and the era of idol singers began.
At the same time, various talent shows began to prevail, and Zhao Yingjun also participated in the selection of "My Type My Show" by mistake.
"My Type My Show" is a turning point in Zhao Yingjun's life, looking at others as young guys, full of the shadow of youth.
His level was also much better than theirs, and after participating in a competition, he withdrew from the competition on the grounds that he was too old, and he was 27 years old that year.
Zhao Yingjun's talent made the program team appreciate it very much, and the other party used a contract to invite him to be the music director, and later the champion of "My Type My Show" fell to Zhang Jie.
In his spare time, Zhao Yingjun will watch sketches to pass the time, and see Zhao Benshan's lines in Zhao Benshan's classic sketch "I Want to Have a Home": "My name is Zhao Yingjun, and I am 35 years old this year...... which touched him very deeply.
After that, Zhao Jian changed his name to Zhao Yingjun and used it as his stage name.

In 2005, the year of Zhao Yingjun's popularity, he spent some time fusing the best parts of more than 20 pop songs, and finally named it "Stimulation 2005".
The name "Stimulus 2005" comes from one of Zhao Yingjun's favorite movies, "Stimulus 1995".
Zhao Yingjun never expected that the song "Stimulation 2005" would finally become popular all over the country, because after he released this song, he went home for the New Year.
Since then, Zhao Jian has become "Zhao Yingjun" and has become popular on the Internet, and he is one of the first batch of Internet celebrities, and netizens also affectionately call him "Brother Chic".
After working in Shanghai for many years, Zhao Yingjun has gradually gained a foothold, and he can be seen in many activities.
In 2009, Yang Qing invited Zhao Yingjun to play a comedic role in his movie "Nightclub".
After hearing this, Zhao Yingjun readily agreed, and in the crew of "Nightclub", Zhao Yingjun got acquainted with Xu Zheng and other well-known actors.
This acting laid the foundation for his future career as an actor and a foundation of contacts.
After the expiration of his contract, Zhao Yingjun left Shanghai and returned to Beijing to develop, during which time he served as a producer of some of Xue Zhiqian's music albums.
Xue Zhiqian not only introduced him to a job, but also gave Zhao Yingjun some financial support, and the two were very good friends.

In 2012, the soundtrack of the movie "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" directed by Xu Zheng was not particularly smooth with the foreign musicians who had previously cooperated.
finally found Zhao Yingjun to take over, hoping that he could save the emergency, Zhao Yingjun readily agreed after knowing it, and created the track "I'm going to be with you" for the movie.
After the film was released, it became all the rage, and the episodes in it also became popular, and Zhao Yingjun's career was pushed to the top again.
Zhao Yingjun's musical talent has been recognized by the circle and the audience, and he has created many hit songs.
In 2015, he created the theme song of the same name for "Pancake Man", "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountains", "Never Expected", "Chinatown" and other hit songs.
At the same time, he also made cameo appearances in "Detective Chinatown" and "Never Expected".
There is also such a rumor in the film and television industry: "Zhao Yingjun was mainly invited to write songs, and the box office of the movie will definitely be a big hit in the end", but it seems to be true.
This year, Zhao Yingjun was 38 years old, and he began to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, becoming a well-known figure, and many people called him a "creative genius".
He posted in a meager post: "Maybe he is like a grocery store owner, he can never become the manager of a specialty store, and he sells everything, which may be his highlight."
Maybe it's because his living habits are reversed every day, and this state makes his physical health problematic.

In 2018, 41-year-old Zhao Yingjun was diagnosed with cancer, and before he left, he took the initiative to tell some friends that he wanted to make a cover album.
Many bigwigs in the music industry have joined, including Han Hong, Eason Chan and other bigwigs, as well as some new-generation singers.
As a friend, Xue Zhiqian took the initiative to help him do publicity and organization work, and invited all singers to participate.
When he was diagnosed with cancer, Zhao Yingjun didn't tell anyone, including his parents, but he didn't hide it from his friend Xue Zhiqian.
And Xue Zhiqian has always been by his good brother's side, whether it is examination or treatment, he accompanies Zhao Yingjun.
On the afternoon of February 3, 2021, Zhao Yingjun died of illness in Beijing at the age of 43.
A group of artists have posted condolences, probably about Zhao Yingjun and their previous stories, or the music he created.
As Zhao Yingjun's friend Xue Zhiqian did not post a message of condolences, and was once scolded by netizens on the hot search.
When Zhao Yingjun's suicide note was exposed, it made a group of netizens and melon-eating people cry like rain, feeling sorry for him, feeling jealous of talents, and being unmarried in his life may be his biggest regret.
Later, at Zhao Yingjun's memorial service, Xue Zhiqian specially rushed back from other places to attend his friend's memorial service, and once almost cried until he fainted, during which he kept comforting Zhao Yingjun's parents.
Many people say that he is hot and sensational, but those who know his friendship with Zhao Yingjun know that Xue Zhiqian is really sad.
After attending the memorial service, perhaps at this time, Xue Zhiqian accepted the fact that his friend had left, and posted a long article of nearly 1,000 words to express his thoughts about Zhao Yingjun.
In July 2022, Xue Zhiqian posted an article with a picture, the picture shows him and Zhao's mother going to the cemetery to visit Zhao Yingjun together, and pulling a cart of flowers.
After Zhao Yingjun's death, Xue Zhiqian often visited his mother, and it can be seen from the photos that he took good care of Zhao's mother.
Si Ren has passed away, I hope that his relatives and friends will get out of the pain as soon as possible, and I also wish Zhao Yingjun to stay away from illness in another world and be a healthy musical talent.
