The most powerful in the Chinese music scene is Jay Chou and Jay Chou.
But what everyone doesn't know is that Jay Chou was also "defeated" by a song, and this person's life is extremely bumpy.
was imprisoned at the age of 19 for a trumped-up crime, but at the age of 23, he reached the peak of his career with his posthumous work, not only Van Gogh in the Chinese rap industry, but also the enlightener of countless young rappers.
But I didn't think of such a powerful role, but I was jealous of the talent, and the hardships became an eternal regret in the Chinese music scene.
"If he's still alive... The Chinese music scene will be turned upside down. ”
A work shocks the Golden Melody Award
At the 2004 Golden Melody Awards, the battle for the best lyricist was star-studded, with Jay Chou, Fang Wenshan, Chen Xiaojuan, Faye Wong and other kings and queens gathered together, and the competition was extremely fierce.
However, in the end, it was a little-known boy who stood out - Song Yueting.
With the song "Life's A Struggle", he overwhelmed the crowd with his amazing musical strength and profound lyrics, and became the biggest dark horse of the night.
"Life's A Struggle" not only shows Song Yueting's extraordinary rapping skills, but also shows the speed of speech, the flow of flow, and the subtlety of rhyme, which is a must in the Chinese rap industry at that time.
I have to mention that in the fierce competition of the 15th Golden Melody Awards, Chen Xiaojuan's "Leaves", Xie Zhihao's "The Wish of the Wind Blows", Faye Wong's "Don't Stay", Fang Wenshan's "East Wind Breaks" and Jay Chou's "Terraces" have been shortlisted.
Not to mention everything, at least the well-known Jay Chou and Faye Wong are absolute powerful players. They are absolutely powerful singers or lyricists, and their works have their own characteristics, and they are loved by everyone.
Everyone present also put the hope of winning this award on them, but what people never expected was that in this masterful duel, it was a relatively unfamiliar name that stood out in the end - Song Yueting.

With the work "Life is a Struggle", with its profound lyrics, unique creative style and strong personal emotional expression, he directly defeated Jay Chou, Faye Wong and other kings and queens, and won the crown of best lyricist.
This is not only a high recognition of Song Yueting's musical talent, but also a testament to his extraordinary strength and unique charm in music creation.
Song Yueting, a once-unknown name, has become a bright new star in the Chinese music scene overnight.
That boy is called Song Yueting
On November 6, 1978, Song Yueting was born in an ordinary family in Taipei, Taiwan Province. From an early age, he showed a talent for art like no other.
When he was 4 years old, while other children were still playing with mud, he had already begun to draw on the back of his parents' discarded manuscript paper and scripts, depicting the world in his heart with his immature little hands.
At the age of 9, he was interviewed by the China Television News Magazine "60 Minutes" and became a small celebrity in the neighborhood.
Fate always seems to play tricks on people. At the age of 14, Song Yueting was sent to United States by his mother for treatment due to severe sinusitis, and also began his study abroad career.
At an art high school in Los Angeles, he not only continued to deepen his painting skills, but was also unexpectedly exposed to hip-hop culture.
He was fascinated by that free, uninhibited way of expression, and he seemed to have found an outlet for his soul and began to try to create his own rap music.
However, adolescent rebellion also followed. During his time in the United States, Song Yueting gradually became rebellious, often skipping classes and fighting, which seemed to have become a commonplace.
His artistic talent also seems to be gradually eroded in this indulgence, and he can only paint some mediocre works. In order to survive, he began to dabble in the music industry, becoming a singer and music producer.
But the initial attempt did not go well, his works were not recognized by the market, and he was even labeled as a "plagiarist" because of the plagiarism scandal.
The blow of fate did not stop there. When he was 19 years old, because his friend was bullied, Song Yueting pretended to be a member of the Huaqing Gang to intimidate the other party, but he was betrayed by his friend and was finally sentenced to 3 months in prison with a 3-year probation.
This experience has become a deep imprint on his life, and it has also given him a deeper understanding and appreciation of music.
The swan song of prison
During his days in prison, Song Yueting did not give up his love for music. He used a rudimentary keyboard and a voice recorder to create the shocking song "Life's a Struggle".
This song not only records his real life in prison, but also expresses his various perceptions of life and his deep yearning for freedom. Every note, every lyric is full of affection, and people can't help but be moved after listening to it.
After being released from prison, Song Yueting chose to return to loneliness and continue to use music to express his emotions and thoughts. He has compiled his works into an album in the hope that his voice will be heard by more people.
Fate doesn't seem to be going to let this talented young man go easily. In 2001, he was diagnosed with advanced bone cancer, and his life entered the countdown.
Life came to an abrupt end! Distressed!
On August 9, 2002, Song Yueting closed his eyes forever in the arms of his mother Li Huagang at the age of 23. His death shocked and lamented the entire Chinese music scene.
Just a year after his death, his debut solo music album "Life's A Struggle" came out and quickly became a sensation.
The album features 18 songs including "Life's a Struggle" and "The Sun Shines on Your Face", each full of power and emotion.
In 2004, with this classic, Song Yueting won the Best Lyricist Award at the 15th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. This honor is not only a high recognition of his musical talent, but also the best footnote to his short and brilliant life.
At the award ceremony, many well-known musicians were moved and expressed their respect and nostalgia for this young talent.
Is it an underrated genius, or is it an over-myth?
In fact, the evaluation of Song Yueting has always been mixed, a music genius who is only one year older than Jay Chou, but died of bone cancer at the age of 23, is his music really underestimated? Is he over-mythologized?
As long as you are a person who has heard his songs, the rating will not be bad, especially the song "Daydream", which has an indescribable Jay Chou-style melody, if it weren't for his untimely death, maybe there would be nothing to do with Jay Chou in the Chinese music scene.
For Song Yueting, we must admit that his musical talent is beyond doubt. Being able to create such a deep piece of music on your own with a simple keyboard and tape recorder is an extraordinary talent in itself.
His songs are full of real insights into life and a deep yearning for freedom, which is a realm that many musicians find difficult to achieve.
When comparing him with Jay Chou, I have to admit that there are still differences in the styles and achievements of the two in music.
With his unique music style and diversified music creation, Jay Chou has achieved great success in the Chinese music scene.
And Song Yueting, although his music is also deep and infectious, due to his untimely death, his musical talent has not been fully displayed and recognized.
Song Yueting, he is indeed a musical genius, but whether his music can reach the height of standing shoulder to shoulder with Chinese music superstars such as Jay Chou is a debatable question.
But then again, Song Yueting's musical talent is worthy of our recognition and appreciation. His songs are full of real insights into life and love for music.
Although his life was short, his music remained in people's hearts forever.
Why is Song Yueting respected?
I wonder why a deceased singer can be remembered by everyone to this day, and there is such a high evaluation, in fact, as long as you understand a little, you will be infected by his tortuous but wonderful sound.
In his 20s, still in prison, he wrote the first masterpiece. At that time, Chinese rap was really too scarce, and his works, both in the treatment of rhyme feet and the expression of lyrics, can be said to be unparalleled.
Especially considering that the recording environment at that time was so bad, unlike now, you can record one day and one tomorrow, and at that time it was a cassette tape, and you had to record it in one go.
And the music form of rap that he is good at is itself touching and inspiring. It's a way to express yourself completely, to put your thoughts into the lyrics.
And Song Yueting, he had already expressed the rap lyrics almost perfectly at that time, considering the environment and mood in which he wrote that song, this is really rare.
From these perspectives, Song Yueting is definitely a name that cannot be skipped in the Chinese rap world. Everyone who really likes Chinese rap should have high respect for him!
He is not only a pioneer of Chinese rap, but also a musician who writes and expresses with his life. His works are not only a song, but also a mark of the times and a cry of the soul.
That's why he is still respected by everyone, and whenever you hear about his work, you will feel deep shock and respect.
Song Yueting is really an unforgettable name, a legend in the Chinese rap industry!
