In 2014, Yu Chengqing participated in Hua Shao's talk show and mentioned the surname Yu.
Hua Shao mentioned that Yu Cheng Qingzu had a great general, called Yu Xin, both civil and military, and later generations called him Yu Lang.
There is a poem written about him: Yu Lang Panmadi, but he is afraid of spring mud.
After Yu Chengqing listened, his face sank.
This is "Spring Mud" written for him by Yi Nengjing ten years ago.
At that time, this song brought Yu Chengqing's career to a new peak, and Yi Nengjing was also known as a talented woman.
But he never asked Yi Nengjing what it meant to write this song for him.
She compares herself to "spring mud", afraid of being a fetter under Yu Lang's feet.
Six years after the song was written, their twenty-year relationship came to an end.
Yi Nengjing wrote in the book: He seems to only know how to love me, but he doesn't care about the exit of my soul.
Ten years later, the arrow shot by Yi Nengjing when she was young hit the center of Yu Chengqing's eyebrows ten years later.
Their family backgrounds are too far apart, and Yu Chengqing's family background is unimaginable.
In February 1909, Shen Bingkun, then governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, transferred Yu Enyang, Tang Jiyao, Huang Yucheng, Zhang Kairu and others who had just graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school back to serve in the Yunnan army.
After returning to China, these people jointly organized the Lecture Hall and the Army Camp School.
Yu Enyang also served as a professor in the lecture hall, and in the later period he trained many outstanding students, including the later commander-in-chief Zhu De.
On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the news soon spread to Yunnan, as a member of the League, Yu Enyang, together with Tang Jiyao, Liu Cunhou and others, secretly planned, and held the Yunnan Chongjiu Uprising on the ninth day of September.
After the recovery of Yunnan, Cai Ye was appointed as the governor of Yunnan, and Yu Enyang was reused.
In 1913, Tang Jiyao replaced Cai Yi as the governor of Yunnan, and Yu Enyang was invited back to Kunming to serve as the principal of the Jiangwu School and the senior adviser of the Yunnan Governor's Office.
The times create heroes, and Yu Enyang, who participated in the torrent of history, is actually likely to become a more remarkable figure in the future, but the world is unpredictable, and in 1918, Yu Enyang was assassinated in Bijie, Guizhou.
He was only 34 years old that year, and he had already devoted his life to the country and the nation.
Later, Sun Yat-sen specially inscribed the four words "should be a male ghost" on his tombstone.
The cause of Yu Enyang's death was speculated to be related to Tang Jiyao at the time.
Rumors are like knives, Tang Jiyao proved himself frank and appointed Yu Enyang's younger brother Yu Enxi as the director of the Yunnan Provincial Water Conservancy Bureau, but Yu Enxi had little interest in being an official.
Soon after, he resigned and went home to found the first cigarette factory in Yunnan - "Asia" Tobacco Company, in honor of his brother Yu Enyang, he also named the cigarettes produced "Chongjiu".
The establishment of Asia Tobacco Company actually broke the monopoly of foreign-funded enterprises on the domestic market at that time, which was of great significance at that time, and even during the Anti-Japanese War, people regarded smoking "Chongjiu" brand cigarettes as a patriotic act.
In 1927, after Long Yun forced Tang Jiyao to become the "King of Yunnan", he also found Yu Enxi to let him be the mayor of Kunming for a period of time.
Later, the Kuomintang was defeated, and Yu Enxi's son Yu Jialin and others also followed the defeat of the Kuomintang to Taiwan.
Yu Enxi did not leave, after the founding of New China, he also handed over the old family house located in Chongren Street in Kunming to the state, that is, the key protected cultural relics unit "Yu Yuan" in Yunnan today.
At the age of 64, Yu Enxi committed suicide by jumping into Dianchi Lake.
And by that time, his descendants had already put down roots on the other side of the channel.
Since then, this huge family that once straddled the military, politics and business worlds on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau collapsed like a building.
Many years later, his grandson returned to his old house in Kunming from Taiwan and had to buy a ticket to enter the venue.
At this point in the story, everyone is also clear, Yu Chengqing is the one who has to buy a ticket when he goes home.
In fact, the Yu family who moved to Taiwan is still a famous family, his father Yu Jialin is a veteran in the political circles, once served as a "representative of the National Congress", and his mother Zhang Zhengfen is a famous Peking Opera singer.
Who would have thought that it was such a long history, and the clansmen were all in politics and business, but later there was a "stranger" like Yu Chengqing who claimed that he was forever 18 years old and never played cards according to the routine.
Yu Chengqing's personality when he was a child was not like this, and there were many rules in the big family.
In addition, his health was not good when he was young, and the elders in the family did not allow him to go out to play, so he had a lot less fun and a lot less innocence in his childhood.
He said: I am very traditional in private, and I usually write calligraphy at home. I have been listening to Peking Opera since I was a child, and since I was three years old, I have listened to my mother hanging her voice outside in the bed every morning. Until the age of ten, he listened to Peking Opera at home, and there was no old pop music.
In fact, he still maintained this habit when he grew up, Cai Kangyong and Xiao S once said that many times when he met Yu Chengqing in private, "he was paralyzed next to him like a dead man".
He himself said: The red light on and off on the camera is a curse for me, and when it comes on, I will change people, and I will try to be as happy as possible.
In fact, this is not to say that he is an unhappy person, but his childhood education has already made his bones infected with the cold style of a son of a family.
But why can he have such energy and be so lively and jubilant as soon as he gets on stage?
It all starts with music.
After going to junior high school, Yu Chengqing began to get in touch with Western music, and since then he has been out of control, learning guitar and forming a band, not only embarking on the road of music, but also his personality has become more extroverted at that time.
The family had high hopes for him, of course, they didn't want him to be such a "plaything", but they couldn't stop it, at that time, in order to buy a beloved guitar, the pampered son brother actually ran to the construction site to lift the bricks, and he finally saved enough money to buy the guitar during a summer vacation.
Maybe God loves to fight against him, not long after a typhoon blew in Taipei, his guitar and stereo were placed in the basement of the performance restaurant that night, and when Yu Chengqing received the news, the rain had already flooded the entire street.
He hurriedly stamped his feet to the side, and when the water was almost pumped, he plunged into the basement.
The water in the basement is actually very deep, and the equipment is plugged in, so it is also very dangerous, but the young Yu Chengqing can't care about it so much, and he only thinks about saving his baby guitar.
Yu Chengqing was exactly 18 years old that year, and he sacrificed his life to save the piano, and he had already identified his dream.
Later, he went to military service and formed a band to perform everywhere, performing the most dry rock music.
It was also at that time that he met Zhang Gengyu, who invited Yu Chengqing to join his record company when his military service was about to end, which was later known as Fumao Records.
However, at that time, the company had just been established, and it was still a "grass platform team" that everyone did not have, and no money was required.
Yu Chengqing withstood the pressure from his family in order to play music, and resolutely joined the company, and the road after that was not much easier.
In order to prepare for his first record, he traveled around by himself, and finally consulted a senior in the music industry, and was told by this senior that it was worthless: That time broke my whole body, because you know that school homework is not good, and the only thing I think is that music is my most outstanding and most accomplished place. As a result, he slapped him to the ground and couldn't get up, and the whole person was shattered.
The first album was really made by Yu Chengqing gritting his teeth.
The album was called "Sad Singer", and the lyrics, composition, arrangement and performance were all handled by Yu Chengqing, who was 25 years old at the time.
In Taiwan, Yu Chengqing is the first singer who has written and sang as soon as he debuted.
That album only sold 100,000 copies, which is not much, but it caused a lot of repercussions in the industry, and it was because of this that Fumao Company finally officially signed a contract with Yu Chengqing.
This is also the first singer signed by Fumao Records.
When he first debuted, Yu Chengqing played rock: because the Chinese pop music in the past was relatively light and soft, and that kind of thing, because I was making music with this kind of "wind and snow" dissatisfaction attitude. I thought it would be better if this song was like this, and it would be better if I made it, so you poured a lot of dissatisfaction into your album.
This dissatisfaction has led to many innovations, such as playing rock and dance music with his husky voice on the first album, when he led the rock trend in the Taiwanese music industry.
You see that rap is popular now, and rappers from all walks of life have expressed their desire to carry the banner of Chinese rap, but they may not know that the first time RAP this music style was officially introduced into the Chinese music scene or Yu Chengqing.
1987's "Report to the Class Leader" is a typical black RAP, and he proudly called himself "the first rapper in the Chinese music scene".
Virtual singers are also a popular trend these days, do you think it's trendy?
In fact, Yu Chengqing played as early as 1998.
That year, he designed "Ha Baobao" based on his own image, which was the first virtual singer in the Chinese music scene, and it was a pioneering move to look at the whole world.
However, at the time, these overly avant-garde music forms did not allow him to gain many fans.
It wasn't until 1989 that he won 400,000 copies of "Let Me Love Enough at a Time", and was covered by Jacky Cheung, becoming one of the top ten golden songs of the year in Hong Kong that year, and Yu Chengqing really began to become popular.
In 92, he brought this song to the Spring Festival Gala, which was well-known to mainland audiences, and his fame once reached its peak.
That was when he was at his most popular, and it was also when he was about to lose it.
After that, Yu Chengqing successively released four albums, "Change All the Mistakes", "Can't Control Yourself", "Top Partner", and "Honest Love Song".
At that time, the decline of the record industry made his creation enter a bottleneck period.
At that time, Yu Chengqing was like what he himself said, "The whole person is a bit like a headless fly, unable to find a direction."
Coincidentally, at this time, someone asked him to do a variety show together, and Yu Chengqing, who "couldn't find the direction", grabbed this "floating board".
Of course, he also has to play something different when he does a variety show: I made a condition with him, I said I don't want to play games, what kind of smashing cakes and splashing water, I hope there will be musical things in it.
So there was this "Super Sunday", Yu Chengqing combined music with variety shows, and created his own style, the show was a great success, and he also won the Golden Bell Award.
The new environment also provided him with new soil for creation, and the bottleneck was broken.
Yu Chengqing officially returned to the music scene and won the Golden Melody Award for "Tsunami" in 2001.
In the same year, with "Meteor Garden" sweeping across Asia, we also heard the song "Love Must Be Done".
He said: Playing music is the first thing, you must play.
In 2003, "Harlem Paradise" was released, which included Yi Nengjing's "Spring Mud".
They met when they were young, one was a musical genius and the other was a pure girl, but the gap between their family backgrounds was too big.
Yi Nengjing has lived in a fixed place since she was a child, and Yu Chengqing is pampered.
Yu Chengqing's mother has always disliked Yi Nengjing, even if she tries everything to please her, she only has white eyes.
After getting married, they lived together, and Yi Nengjing didn't even have the qualifications to watch TV series.
Yu Chengqing's sister wants to watch entertainment channels, her nephew wants to watch cartoons, and her mother wants to watch the news, and she is forever excluded.
Yi Nengjing could only vent this dissatisfaction on Yu Chengqing, he just loved him in every way, but he refused to move out of the house.
Later they divorced, in a near-self-destructive manner.
This also became the pain of Haring's life.
Later, he gave out all this love on music, and in music, it seems that the person who is restrained and traditional never exists.
At the age of 48, Yu Chengqing released an album called "Eighteen Years Old Until He Dies".
He said that this is the feeling that has been running through his heart since he entered the industry: when you are on the stage, you must always show your youngest, most energetic, 18-year-old feelings, and at the same time, I also encourage myself to be limited by my qualifications or my age when creating.
This presumptuousness has remained so until today's 63-year-old.
What we see is always that bohemianism, and it is he who probably blends all the unhappiness into the music.
This is a rebellion that he only has once in his life, and it is also a rebellion that he has only succeeded once.
Many years have passed, and I only remember his unbridled laughter, but I forgot that he was a very powerful singer.
