Speaking of Taiwanese musicians of the last century, it is necessary to mention Zhang Yusheng.
You may not be very familiar with him as a person, but you must have heard his songs.
"I want to say I love you but I am blown in the wind, and I suddenly turn back to you there, and if the sea can exchange the love I once had, let me wait for my whole life"
A song called "The Sea" evokes the memories of countless people.
A song "My Future Is Not a Dream" sang the voice of many struggling young people,
Lyrics from "I know my future is not a dream, I live every minute seriously"
It has also become an inspirational word for many college entrance examination students today.
He is also Zhang Huimei's mentor,
He is also a million-dollar producer who has created more than four hundred works in his lifetime.
However, he died in a car accident in 1997.
Today I will talk about his legendary life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > babies born in the rain, the children of poor families have long been in charge</h1>
Zhang Yusheng was born in 1966 in Penghu County, Taiwan Province.
With a Taiwanese music magician, he did not choose the music industry at the beginning.
Zhang Yusheng's father originally wanted to name Zhang Yusheng Pengsheng pengsheng in Penghu, the place of his birth.
However, on the day Zhang Yusheng was born,
Penghu, which has always rarely rained heavily, changed to rain.
His parents later added four younger siblings to Zhang Yusheng.
Because the living conditions at that time were not good, plus there were so many children in the family, Zhang Yusheng was very obedient and sensible since he was a child.
He had a dream since he was a child: to be an engineer, and the engineers of that era had a lot of money.
However, this dream was defeated by real-life results, because his math scores were so poor.
Later, the engineer's dream changed to that of a diplomat.
When he was a teenager, Zhang Yusheng rarely read textbooks.
Most of the time comes to listen to music, play basketball, swim and read my favorite books.
When it comes to singing, Zhang Yusheng in his youth is not particularly prominent.
Sister Zhang Yuxian also often laughed at him for singing badly,
Because he rarely shows his singing voice in front of his family,
So his family didn't know about his singing talent.
This boy who looks very well-behaved will also have rebellious times,
It was also the only rebellion of his life.
When I was in the first grade, my mother came to ask Zhang Yusheng to get up as usual, and there was no shadow in the room, and there was an extra note on the table.
It reads: Mom, I'm going to fight the world, and I don't go home if I don't succeed.
When the mother saw that this was returned, she quickly called the police and her father searched the surrounding places, and finally found Zhang Yusheng near the house.
In the face of Zhang Yusheng's rebellious parents, they did not scold him, but took him to a meal.
Since then, Zhang Yusheng has never let his parents worry about it again.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > singing two people's dreams with one person's song</h1>
In 1985, Zhang Yusheng was admitted to Taiwan University of Political Science and Law and realized a dream he had when he was young.
During this period, Zhang Yusheng listened to many foreign songs and was also exposed to many musical instruments.
Among the several brothers and sisters, Zhang Yusheng had the best relationship with the third sister, Zhang Yuxian.
Her sister Zhang Yuxian has loved music since she was a child and dreams of becoming a singer.
The two of them agreed to form a band together,
In 1986, Zhang Yusheng received bad news: his sister Zhang Yuxian drowned in Lishan to rescue him!
At that time, Zhang Yusheng's life fell into darkness,
Zhang Yusheng, who had been greatly hit, took a long time to come out.
And made a big decision: he wanted to help his sister fulfill her unfulfilled will.
This idea was opposed by parents.
In the face of existing academics and an unknown challenge, the choice of parents is of course the former.
But how can a decision be changed so easily?
Zhang Yusheng signed up for the Wooden Boat Folk Song Festival,
At the beginning of the game, he was ridiculed for his height and looks.
However, Zhang Yusheng did not put it in his heart, because he had more important things to complete in his heart.
Zhang Yusheng's victory in this game also added a lot of confidence to him.
Zhang Yusheng, 21, was born in 1987 during his sophomore year
He formed the orchestra ThunderSpot with his classmates and began his singing career.
In the same year, Zhang Yusheng and the orchestra went to Taiwan University to perform on behalf of the school
Because of his excellent voice, he was noticed by Metalkids of National Taiwan University.
Later, when Metalkids wanted to go to Tunghai University to perform, the lead singer was too ill to attend and asked Zhang Yusheng for help.
This also lays the foundation for future cooperation.
Zhang Yusheng's talent is not only reflected in his voice
And his excellent creative ability.
In his junior year, Zhang Yusheng wrote the song "They"
This is a song about the life of a soldier.
With this song
Zhang Yusheng won the first place in the school's songwriting competition.
In 1988, 22-year-old Zhang Yusheng participated in the first Taiwan Hot Music Competition.
Won the team championship and the best lead singer award.
In this competition, he was appreciated by Weng Xiaoliang.

In April of the same year, it exploded with "My Future Is Not a Dream" and received widespread attention.
It is also because of this song Zhang Yusheng's career has been booming, shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award, the most promising singer award,
The 2nd Golden Melody Awards, Best Male Singer Award,
It was also nominated for the 1st Taiwan Golden Melody Awards and the Best Newcomer Award.
Zhang Yusheng, who was uneasy about the status quo, began to transform into a musician.
The song "I Love You", written in 1990, was included on an album by Aaron Kwok.
During this period, he also created "Good Night Sister" for his sister Zhang Yuxian.
And the widely sung "The Sea" is also related to the younger sister, who drowned at the seaside.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="205" > created a legend in the music world, and the bar discovered Zhang Huimei</h1>
In 1995, Zhang Yusheng discovered Zhang Huimei in a bar.
Zhang Yusheng learned about Zhang Huimei from a friend,
The owner of the bar that day told Zhang Huimei that someone was coming to listen to her singing, or her idol Zhang Yusheng!
Zhang Huimei was very excited when she heard it, and began to choose the songs she wanted to sing in front of her idols.
The song "Iwillalwaysloveyou" was finally chosen.
In the next month, Zhang Huimei found that Zhang Yusheng went to the bar every day to listen to her singing.
Later, the owner of the bar told Zhang Huimei that he came every day to investigate you, he thought that you were a talent for singing, he just came to examine how much potential you really have!
Zhang Huimei is also very touched by the fact that she has worked harder for this.
Because she didn't sing in just one bar, but in many! Zhang Yusheng will appear every time.
Perhaps it is also because of the miss of the deceased sister, plus Zhang Huimei has a temperament similar to that of her sister.
Soon Zhang Yusheng said to Zhang Huimei: I have been listening to you sing for a month, and I really sang very well, I can write songs for you to build you, but you have to be serious.
Zhang Huimei was very excited after hearing it and immediately agreed,
In Zhang Yusheng's new album, there is a chorus of two people, "The person who loves me the most hurts me the most", which opened Zhang Huimei's popularity for a while.
In 1995, she released her first album "Sisters" for Zhang Huimei.
Zhang Huimei also broke the sales record of Jacky Cheung with this album and became famous in one fell swoop.
Zhang Yusheng thus became a million-record producer.
In addition to achievements in creation
Zhang Yusheng also has his own outstanding place in stage drama.
In 1997, there was an adaptation of the stage play "Kiss Me Nana" at the Guotuo Theater in Taiwan.
Intended to appear in the form of a rock musical.
Because Zhang Yusheng has also participated in some stage plays before this.
So the director found Zhang Yusheng to create, and in three to four months, Zhang Yusheng practiced twenty-eight songs according to the plot and characters.
Later, in an interview, Zhang Yusheng also said that it was a somewhat crazy task.
After the performance, the outside world gave Zhang Yusheng full praise.
Because of the vivid music design,
Make the whole plot more moving and attractive, there is a feeling of inexhaustibility.
"Kiss Me Nana" also brought great shock to the musical and dance theater industry at that time.
However, on October 19, 1997, Zhang Yusheng went to the Guotuo Theater to learn about the situation of the role changing performance, and when he returned, he also sent the theater actor Chen Youfang home, and was found and reported by the villagers after a serious car accident in front of the mangrove bowling alley in the early morning of October 20
After more than two hours of rescue by medical staff, Zhang Yusheng's situation was basically stable.
After twenty-four days of coma, he died of concomitant inhalation pneumonia, and the myth of a generation fell.
During the period of Zhang Yusheng's accident,
This relationship with his girlfriend Huang Huiling is slowly known to the outside world.
Huang Huiling was born in Taipei,
He served as Zhang Yusheng's assistant, and the two had a long-term relationship.
But at that time, there was a rule in the company: staff members could not fall in love with artists!
Later, Huang Huiling left the UFO Record Company to study in a foreign country.
After Zhang Yusheng was born, Huang Huiling has been taking care of him step by step.
When the doctor hinted that she would prepare for Zhang Yusheng's aftermath, Huang Huiling always believed that Zhang Yusheng would get better.
However, Huang Huiling still could not wait for the miracle, and Zhang Yusheng finally went.
After Zhang Yusheng's death, Huang Huiling once wrote a letter for Zhang Yusheng:
He smiled at me like an angel who appeared on a spring day, saying that he would never leave me, that he would never abandon me.
Obviously I only look at you, why do you deliberately avoid, I seem to see your melancholy eyes again,
I actually saw your gentle silhouette again under the setting sun, which is the final answer to the story.
For the next ten years, Huang Huiling insisted on paying off her mortgage and moved into the house in Tamsui, where two people shared their memories.
This stay is ten years!
She spent this decade to accept the fact that Zhang Yusheng had left.
In the end, he was persuaded by both parents to marry someone else.
After Zhang Yusheng left, the saddest and uncomfortable thing was his parents.
After two times the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man!
His parents buried Zhang Yusheng and his sister Zhang Yuxian together.
Because the relationship between the two is very good, the cemetery is named: Yusheng Garden
After Zhang Yusheng's death, two elderly people ran a homestay called Zhang Yusheng's House in Lishan.
Inside there are Zhang Yusheng's songs, photos, award-winning things,
That's their only concern,
Looking at those people was like a son still alive.
In 2011, Zhang's father died of cancer, leaving Zhang's mother alone.
At the 28th Golden Melody Awards in 2017,
Zhang Yusheng was awarded the Special Contribution Award, and Zhang's mother received the award on her behalf.
Zhang Yusheng's age is forever fixed in 1997,
But the musical wealth he brings us is forever.
At the Golden Melody Awards ceremony in 2017,
The TV recap program commented on him: has been at the peak of popular music!
But the care of Song Lu and Qu FengLiu quickly flipped.
Later, the song was still good, but it was getting harder and harder to sing.
He tried to create surprises on pop music,
Mayday Fan Weiqi Chen Qizhen and others said that they were deeply influenced by Zhang Yusheng.
What is the real point of reflection on making music?
Eleven years after Zhang Yusheng's death,
The Penghu county government converted his former former residence into Zhang Yusheng Story Museum.
He left though
But his musical spirit has influenced generations of musicians.
