In order to pursue the celebrity effect, Chen Fuli, the album producer at that time, wanted to use chi Zhiqiang, a famous film actor who had just been released from prison because of "hooliganism", as a selling point, so he found Chi Zhiqiang, who had just been released from prison and working at the construction site, but after recording a song, he found that Chi Zhiqiang's singing skills were too poor, and even a little incomplete, so he found the local singer Zhai Huimin and recorded the album "Tears of Remorse". On the cover of the album, the singer Chi Zhiqiang was marked with large characters, and after the listing, the album was a big fire, making fans mistakenly think that the singer was Chi Zhiqiang.

Zhai Huimin recalled: "One day in 1989, Chi Zhiqiang held a concert at the Changchun City Gymnasium, and I was also at the performance site that day, Chi Zhiqiang suddenly looked at me during the performance, accidentally slipped the microphone in his hand, and then picked it up and continued to sing, but what came out was my voice. After the performance, I went backstage under the leadership of the staff to meet Chi Zhiqiang, who had never met but was inextricably linked to me. Of course, we were very enthusiastic about each other when we first met, but there was a hint of embarrassment, and we didn't know what to say to each other, but just greeted each other haphazardly. Chi Zhiqiang took the initiative to talk about the theme, he said that he had just come out, the situation has not been very good, all aspects are more difficult... I hurriedly stopped him from continuing, "I understand I understand, it's okay, sing!" From then on, as long as there is a place where Chi Zhiqiang performs, Zhai Huimin will not go again, because he knows that his appearance is actually smashing people's rice bowls.
