Hello, hello everyone, I am a small search, today we want to talk about a 39-year-old singer Liu Jialiang who is hot with a song "Who Do You Really Love", Presumably most people only remember this song, do not know this person. This classic memory song won the most popular award of "China Mobile Wireless CRBT Tianwang"... Nonsense, Follow me...

After listening to the cries of "Mice Love Rice" and "Two Butterflies", pop fans suddenly issued a loud "group question" - who do you really love?
The song "Who Do You Really Love" indisputably became the most eye-catching song of the year, and the songwriter and singer Liu Jialiang also won the reputation of "Prince of Internet Love Songs"!
However, you know what? Before Liu Jialiang became the "Prince of Love Songs", he worked as a porter and a handyman and many other hard laborers. In the years of part-time work, I have suffered a lot of shame that others can't imagine.

Liu Jialiang was born in an ordinary worker family in Xining City, Qinghai Province, with two younger siblings below. When he was 3 years old, his parents divorced, and he lived with his mother, who was just a general doctor in a small hospital and had a very hard time.
Liu Jialiang has been interested in music since childhood. At the age of 4, I was able to sing along the radio. In the 4th grade of elementary school, he sang a song "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" at the school celebration party, which attracted the attention of a music teacher surnamed Huang, who thought he was very talented in music and began to teach him some vocal knowledge.
In 1994, 15-year-old Liu Jialiang graduated from junior high school, and because his family was poor, he had to give up his dream of going to high school and then entering the university and applying for a secondary school.
After a year of secondary school, Liu Jialiang found that his mother's salary alone could not maintain the family's life, so he quietly dropped out of school and went out to work.

Liu Jialiang was young and thin at that time, and no one was willing to accept him as a "child laborer". One day, Liu Jialiang was on a slope section of the street, and saw an uncle pedaling a human tricycle uphill with great effort, and the cabbage piled up on the car suddenly fell down.
He quickly picked up the cabbage for the uncle to load on the tricycle, and helped him push the cart uphill. During the conversation, the uncle smiled and accepted Liu Jialiang, the "disciple".
In this way, every day when the sky was just dark, Liu Jialiang followed his uncle, pedaled a tricycle, and began to collect business at the station, the river dam wharf, the farmers' market and the wholesale market.
Every night when he came home, the first thing he did was to give the money he had earned that day to his mother.
Doing hard work is destined to endure a lot of humiliation. In the hard life, Liu Jialiang's only pleasure is to sing, and imitate the songs of Wang Jie and Zhou Huajian.

One day in October 1997, Liu Jialiang went to move furniture to a family surnamed Zhang, and he sang Zhou Huajian's "Friend" while he was busy.
Mr. Zhang, the owner of the side, was fascinated, and when Liu Jialiang finished singing, he actually asked Liu Jialiang to sing another song! Liu Jialiang let go of his voice and sang three or four songs in a row.
Mr. Zhang said excitedly: "Your voice is good and very skilled!" He said and gave him a business card, "I have a new bar, and if you want, you can come to my bar and sing." I open it to you every night for $20! ”
Liu Jialiang carried his bag to wander
Liu Jialiang was so excited that he really went to Boss Zhang's bar that night. As a result, Liu Jialiang won the love of the audience with his realistic imitation singing voice.
Boss Zhang's bar business is surprisingly good, and Liu Jialiang can also get 20 yuan a night with peace of mind.
At the beginning of 1999, Liu Jialiang put on the guitar, bid farewell to his mother, left his hometown, and came to Shanghai alone, embarking on a difficult and never-say-die wandering journey.
Once became popular with a song "Who Do You Really Love", Jay Chou, whose fame did not lose at that time, has now become like this

After coming to Shanghai, Liu Jialiang found a fellow who worked in a bar and found a job as a handyman in the bar.
After the foreman learned that he had "ambitions", he repeatedly made small reports to the boss. As a result, before working in this bar for a month, Liu Jialiang was fired by the boss.
Just when Liu Jialiang was about to despair, a decoration company promised him to be a handyman responsible for transporting consumables and tools, and the salary was settled by day, working 10 hours a day, and he could get 20 yuan a day.
He works at a renovation company during the day and goes to bars to sing at night. One day, not long after, while repairing chandeliers for a factory office, he accidentally fell off a ladder and immediately threw his head in blood!
"Green Music Alliance" was established Liu Jialiang called for making music with heart
When he was treated in the hospital, he did not forget his musical dreams, and often begged Miss Nurse to find him a pen and paper to record the lyrics he thought out in time.
After being discharged from the hospital, he lost both jobs and was penniless.
Just when Liu Jialiang was at the lowest point in his life, his friend, a friend from Guangzhou who met in a Shanghai bar, contacted him, and after learning of his predicament, the friend sent him the fare.
In April 2001, Liu Jialiang left Shanghai and embarked on a train to Guangzhou to embark on his dream journey to the next stop. This year, he had just turned 20.

This time, the god of fate finally showed a long-lost smile to him who had endured so much suffering. He successfully became a singer in a nightclub and gained a foothold here in his own strength.
With the financial support of friends, he released his first solo single "Break My Heart" in June 2003, and gradually gained a certain popularity in Shantou and Shanwei, with a group of loyal "bright fans".
The spring of 2004 is also the spring in Liu Jialiang's life!
Liu Jialiang, "Who Do You Really Love?"
In a commercial performance, Liu Jialiang deeply impressed a talent-hungry scout - the famous music producer Lü Fei - with an original song "Dear Don't Leave Me".
Therefore, Lü Fei found Liu Jialiang and asked him to sing the songs he had created. Among the newcomers, I am afraid that only Daolang can match it, but what is even more rare is that Liu Jialiang was only 23 years old at the time, more than 10 years ahead of the "Daolang Myth"!
Lü Fei recorded the album "Dear Don't Leave Me" for Liu Jialiang. No one expected that less than a month after the album was launched, without any publicity, the market sales reached 200,000 copies!
By April 2005, Liu Jialiang's album had sold more than 800,000 copies! afterwards......

Liu Jialiang's popularity shocked the Chinese pop music scene! His album was also in serious stock shortages at the time. How hot is that. Liu Jialiang, a wanderer, has worked hard to become a generation of "love song princes"
In addition to performing arts, Liu Jialiang is also keen on public welfare and charity. As the youngest star in his hometown, Liu Jialiang won the title of Qinghai Provincial Anti-Drug Image Ambassador and Disabled Persons' Federation Love Ambassador in 2008, and also vigorously advocated anti-drug and called for care for the disabled.
The spirit of the prince of love songs is worth learning from each of us, fortunately, in 2016, Liu Jialiang welcomed the twin sons, from a working boy to a love song prince, and then upgraded to a star daddy.
Let more people hear his songs, let the long-awaited hearts move, and bloom together at this moment.
