Every year, there is a person who is always mentioned in the Golden Melody Awards, and he is Wu Qingfeng.
Why do many people compare themselves to him?
Because he is the only Grand Slam winner in the history of the Golden Melody Awards.
In other words, he has won all the awards involved in the Golden Melody Awards, and no one before or after him has achieved achievements.
But these did not make Wu Qingfeng truly happy.
When I was a child, my father's violence, the bullying of my classmates, the cyberbullying of black fans after becoming famous, and the betrayal of my teacher......
Many times, Wu Qingfeng has hovered on the line of life and death.
He said: Those who dare to attack people at will only when they hide under the network that no one knows, but they can't show a little courage to face and create their own lives; Those who spend their lives in meaningless abuse and making fun of others are, to me, the sissies of personality.
This is the salvation of himself at the age of 40.
Wu Qingfeng lived in the shadow of his father in his childhood.
The father was a violent and irresponsible man.
Wu Qingfeng has a wall calendar, if he is scolded, he will draw a triangle, if he is beaten, he will draw a cross, and he will pass the circle safely.
One day when he grew up, Wu Qingfeng sorted out his things, and inadvertently turned to the wall calendar and found that there was no circle on it.
His father's violence made Wu Qingfeng more and more introverted.
When everyone was changing their voices and growing taller during adolescence, Wu Qingfeng's size did not change, and his voice was still like that of a child.
The naughty male classmates in the class began to bully him, calling him a "sissy".
This drew another wound on Wu Qingfeng's sensitive heart.
Later, when he was singing in the witch shop, he met his confidante Zhang Hang, and when he told Zhang Hang about this experience, she hugged Wu Qingfeng and cried.
Zhang Hang didn't know how this friend of his age had survived that dark period and lived so softly.
Wu Qingfeng loves to dream very much, many of them are sweet dreams, and he is looking for the tenderness that he can't get in life.
After going to college, Wu Qingfeng became less and less fond of going home.
The school held a campus singer competition, and Wu Qingfeng wanted to try each one, so that the three groups of solo, chorus, and creation all signed up.
Before participating in the competition, Wu Qingfeng had never written a song by himself, so in order to cope with the competition, he casually hummed a song and wrote it down.
In that competition, Wu Qingfeng got a good result, and then he gathered several young people who love music to form a band - Soda Green.
Soda Green's road to fame is still relatively smooth.
During the performance, I met Bole Lin Weizhe, who did not make any changes to their music and asked him to maintain his original style.
When the newcomer band first joined, there were few performance opportunities, and they had no regular income for a long time, so Lin Weizhe sold his house to release an album for them.

Many years later, Wu Qingfeng was very moved when he mentioned this incident.
In 2005, Soda Green finally released their first album, Soda Green.
At the concert, Wu Qingfeng cried and said: Many people were not optimistic about us before, and many people said that our teacher Wei Zhe was crazy, but today we finally stood here to prove that Teacher Wei Zhe is not crazy.
Lin Weizhe introduced Yang Naiwen, Lin Youjia and other friends in the circle to Wu Qingfeng, and asked him to deliver the songs he had written.
At that time, Wu Qingfeng had just written a "Little Love Song", and he gave it to singers such as Lin Youjia, and they were all returned without exception.
The lyrics of this song are obscure and full of the romance of a liberal arts student: "I can't stand to see your back coming, write down my divorce that is hard to spend seconds", "Write down my castle where the sound of time and piano is intertwined"......
Helplessly, he could only sing this song by himself.
One day, he had a dream in which Jay Chou said to him: I wrote a new song, you come and listen to it.
When he woke up, Wu Qingfeng still remembered the melody, so he wrote it down, and he continued the feeling in his dream, and the song was called "Small Universe".
He said: In my heart, this song has always been written by Jay Chou for me.
In 2006, Soda Green released the album "Small Universe", which included the "Little Love Song" that no one wanted.
It was also this "abandoned" "Little Love Song" that brought Wu Qingfeng and Soda Green to the pinnacle of their careers together.
In 2007, Wu Qingfeng won the Best Composer Award at the 18th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for "Little Love Song", and Soda Green was known by more people.
They're no longer an alternative duo that no one is paying attention to.
But in addition to fame and fortune, the popularity is public opinion.
The words "sissy" and "shemale" followed Wu Qingfeng, and he mustered up the courage to post a video of himself singing on the Internet, and what he gained was not praise for the song but an attack on his voice.
During that time, Wu Qingfeng closed himself off and fell into depression.
The real fight back was one day in 2009.
The unscrupulous reporter couldn't find any black material about Wu Qingfeng, so he ran to Wu Qingfeng's alma mater and found his high school teacher: Wu Qingfeng has been in a bad mood recently, which may be related to his high school experience.
The teacher was worried about Wu Qingfeng, so he told the reporter a lot of things about high school, and the reporter added the information he collected and arranged the article to publish an article, which caused a thousand waves with one stone.
Not only Wu Qingfeng was hurt, but also many teachers and classmates were involved.
This made Wu Qingfeng unbearable.
He had a not-so-good school experience, but he didn't want him to hurt others.
He decided to give up his career as a singer: I hope that my existence can make the people around me feel that it is more beautiful. I feel sad that my significant family and friends are suffering these injuries as much as I do.
At that time, it was the rise of soda green, and he stopped all activities.
Wu Qingfeng decided to go for a break and went to Beijing to listen to a concert by his idol Qi Yu.
After singing "Olive Tree", Qi Yu said: Before becoming someone else's olive tree, you must first become your own olive tree.
At that moment, Wu Qingfeng was awakened: If I am repulsed, I will never have enough strength to really protect those I want to protect.
He learned to fight back and even wrote a song "Peter and the Wolf": You say my mother, but I dare say that you are cowardier than me.
wrote a poem "He Raised His Right Hand" to talk about verbal violence, "Applause Falls" satirizes the narrow-mindedness of keyboard warriors, and "Chauvin" resists male power......
In 2016, he won the Best Lyricist Award at the 27th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for the song "He Raised His Right Hand".
After that, he swept all the major awards of the Golden Melody Awards, and really became a strong self.
Just when he thought he was protective enough to protect the people around him, the people closest to him gave him a heavy blow.
In 2018, Wu Qingfeng publicly cried twice.
The first time was on the stage of "Tomorrow's Son", where he led the contestants through the test as a mentor.
Many of the contestants chose the more popular Hua Chenyu or the more famous Li Yuchun, and Wu Qingfeng was left out in the cold.
Some players even forgot his name and called him directly.
was so angry that Hua Chenyu said directly: This is my idol, Wu Qingfeng.
Wu Qingfeng immediately played a round and said: Call me Fengfeng.
I finally won the trust of several students, but I didn't get good results.
Wu Qingfeng cried: Is it because I can't speak, I'm not popular enough, and I didn't get a ticket for you.
His own grievances could be said with a smile, but the talents of the students were ignored and he cried.
The second cry is the termination of the contract with his mentor Lin Weizhe, and he will start again in his personal capacity.
The termination of the contract reads: It is father and son, master and apprentice.
In order to repay the teacher, Lin Weizhe owed Wu Qingfeng the royalties of 275 songs, but he didn't ask for it.
Not long after he thought about it, Lin Weizhe actually sued Wu Qingfeng in court, did not allow him to sing his works publicly, and even claimed 8 million.
At the beginning, Wu Qingfeng still said good things for his teacher, until the businessman's face was all exposed, and Wu Qingfeng's worldview collapsed.
He cried and said, "Why did a teacher I had always blindly believed in become like this?"
Soda Green changed its name to the Yuding Department, and Wu Qingfeng fought for three years before it ended in success.
Soda Green's name was asked back, and Wu Qingfeng's song was also asked back, but nothing could be returned.
In 2019, Wu Qingfeng released his first solo music album "Spaceman": I was imagining the brain activity of a person paralyzed in a hospital bed, which was really painful and written, and everything was based on healing himself.
With this album, he won the Best Chinese Male Singer Award at the 31st Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.
The following year, he was shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award again.
He seems to be strong enough, but he hasn't done his job of protecting himself.
That year, at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, Wu Qingfeng, who stood on the stage more than once, scratched his head shyly and didn't know how to express it.
When asked how he felt, he said he was just hungry and wanted to go home early.
Wu Qingfeng has always disliked this kind of award occasion, everyone is hypocritical and unfamiliar.
The happiest moment that night was when the female singer Yu Peizhen took the stage to accept the award, she said: I want to thank Wu Qingfeng. I've been listening to your songs when I've been retaking my college exams, and I love your words so much.
Wu Qingfeng's eyes were red in the audience.
That's the warmth he wants to bring to others the most.
In 2007, Wu Qingfeng wrote a song called "Unparalleled Beauty", and her friend Zhang Hang was in a very bad mental state at that time, she said to Wu Qingfeng: My summer is very bad, I hope you can have a great summer.
After going back, Wu Qingfeng wrote this song and gave it to Zhang Hang.
Zhang Hang saved herself with this song on many nights when she wanted to give up her life, and she said that when she heard this song, she decided to live.
Wu Qingfeng burst into tears when he learned about this.
He said: I believe that I have the ability to turn pain into happiness.
Three months ago, he lost his voice again, and it was only an understatement in the report.
If life can't be turned around, make yourself empowered.
Gentleness and strength are never antonyms, it can be in a person at the same time, and it should be.
