Huang Yunling studied in Luo Dayou's studio at the age of 18, this time Luo Dayou won the award, the ceremony was held at the Taipei Pop Music Center, as the chairman of Beiliu Huang Yunling said happily: "I feel very honored to be able to participate in the Golden Melody Awards in Beiliu! Mr. Dayou can always bring new musical forms and styles in every era. He is a pioneer and an adventurer, and although this award came a little late, I still thank Mr. Dayou for providing many good examples for people in the music industry to continue to work hard to break through all the current frameworks."
Huang Yunling also recalled that when She often took advantage of The Factu luo to come to the studio, she often "explored" alone in the studio, and found that the godfather of music read all kinds of books, including comics, and was a knowledgeable person, "He let me know that music is not just melodies, it is life, or every moment you are experiencing." 」 She also shared the little story of the two, before Luo Dayou had let go of a record for Huang Yunling, with a deep voice, instead of the familiar style of Teresa Teng and Feng Feifei at that time.

Luo Dayou said to her, "Xiao Ling, you have to go in this direction", Huang Yunling smiled and said, "I am actually very sad at the moment!" But he made me realize my strengths and weaknesses early, which part should be studied more, so that I can stand here today, and I really thank him." "Rock Godmother" Jin Zhijuan will also sing together, the two have collaborated on many popular works, for this performance, she said: "Teacher Dayou has a great love for this land, expounded it with music, really feel happy and proud of him, I hope that more new generations of musicians can understand, Teacher Dayou's original intention for music is great love, with a broader vision with elegant music expression, as a former staff of Teacher Dayou, it is very honored and proud to stand on this stage."
Huang Yunling will lead the generations to perform together at the ceremony, and also racked her brains in the preparation of the show: "There are really too many works by Mr. Dayou, to be presented in a limited performance time, just discussing the repertoire we are dizzy!" Basically, it will be based on his musical journey from different periods." Huang Yunling revealed that Luo Dayou gave encouragement like a brother: "He always told me that it is a very beautiful thing to let all musicians get together and touch the spark, don't put too much pressure on yourself." 」
