Li Zongsheng's most popular song was sung by his assistants and he became the King of Heaven

Li Zongsheng is the godfather of the Chinese music scene, and although the songs he composed are popular, they can always strike directly into people's hearts and never get tired of listening. As a musical talent, his works are not only sung by himself, but also dedicated to many stars such as Zhou Huajian, Lin Yilian, Karen Mok, Liang Jingru and so on. Although he has created countless classics, in fact, Li Zongsheng once wrote a song that he thought was "too vulgar", when he felt a little bored after writing it, he planned to abandon it, but he did not expect to accidentally hit and let an assistant next to him sing, so he accidentally created the birth of a superstar in the music world.

It is reported that before becoming famous, "Love Song King" Zhang Xinzhe used to be Li Zongsheng's assistant and miscellaneous at Boulder Records under the Rolling Stones, helping colleagues and stars in the company to handle documents every day, buying bento and buying drinks, nevertheless, he still looked forward to singing the songs created by idol Li Zongsheng one day and realizing his musical dream.

Just that year, Li Zongsheng created the song "Love Like a Tide", but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that the song was a bit tacky, and it was not his style, so he threw the song aside unsatisfactorily, planning to throw it away, and the assistant Zhang Xinzhe saw the song, he particularly liked it, hoping that Li Zongsheng could transfer this "failed work" to him, Li Zongsheng felt that his voice did not lose its affection and gentle charm after letting Zhang Xinzhe audition the song, so he gave it to him. Unexpectedly, with the song "Love Like a Tide", Zhang Xinzhe fully demonstrated his excellent singing strength and became a hit. It is precisely because of this song that Li Zongsheng discovered Zhang Xinzhe's strength, and then tailored songs such as "Don't Be Afraid of My Sadness" for him, slowly building Zhang Xinzhe into a love song prince in the 90s, laying an unshakable position in the song world.

It is worth mentioning that Li Zongsheng once said when recalling the past that "Love is Like a Tide" is the most popular song he has ever written, but often the more vulgar the song, the more impressive it is. Although he mistakenly gave this song to Zhang Xinzhe, who was only his assistant at the time, to sing this song that year, Zhang Xinzhe's good voice eventually made him.
