If there is only one person in the Chinese music scene who can sing to make people feel melancholy and sad, it must be Jiang Yuheng.
Whether it is his song style or his unique melancholy voice, Jiang Yuheng is a unique existence.
Some people even say that listening to Jiang Yuheng's songs can sense many life stories in an instant and sting the sadness in the heart.
Therefore, Jiang Yuheng was also named the "melancholy prince" of the song world.
In turn, his singing can feel a little comfort in loneliness and loneliness, so that people's hearts are no longer waves.
In addition to the extraordinary achievements in his singing career, Jiang Yuheng is also a completely good man in his feelings.

In 1958, Jiang Yuheng fell to the ground in Seoul, South Korea.
At that time, his parents went to South Korea from Rongcheng's hometown in Shandong Province and lived a difficult life of uprooting.
His family lives in a small town more than 100 kilometers from Seoul, so his life is not rich.
Therefore, Jiang Yuheng's childhood life was not worry-free, and he was already very poor when he was in elementary school.
Studying in a foreign country, Jiang Yuheng tasted the bitterness.
In order to be able to attend Chinese school, Jiang Yuheng, who was in middle school, had to leave home to study in other places.
Moreover, during his schooling, Jiang Yuheng worked while studying, and the money he earned was used to subsidize the family.
He did a lot of low-level work, such as a food delivery man, a waiter, and sold shoe polish and umbrellas.
It is said that the children of poor families have long been homemakers, and these hard experiences have also made Jiang Yuheng's character very mature and strong.
Therefore, Jiang Yuheng, who later came to the development of the music world, was able to endure hardships and become a well-known thing.
When he was in high school, Jiang Yuheng was not only a perfect child, but also especially liked music. (Won a prize at the age of 9)
At that time, he showed a very high musical talent, and also formed a band with his classmates to sing.
Perhaps for a child of an ordinary family like him, music became his only spiritual salvation.
However, the originally ordinary and happy family suddenly ushered in the storm.
In the third year of high school, his mother died of illness, and Jiang Yuheng had no choice but to go to Taiwan to join his sister.
After arriving in Taiwan, although Jiang Yuheng loved music very much, he regretted that he had no way out and could not find a related job.
In order to survive, he had to work as a waiter again, and later went to Japan to work.
When he was young, Jiang Yuheng, wandering and hardship became the background of his life, so he could sing a classic song that was touching and profound.
After returning to Taiwan several times, Jiang Yuheng went to work in a nightclub, played bass here, and finally had a relationship with music.
Sometimes, if the resident singer is not there, Jiang Yuheng, who can sing, will go up and sing two songs.
It is precisely because of the opportunity to show his singing voice that Jiang Yuheng has ushered in the biggest opportunity in his life.

In 1982, Jiang Yuheng was discovered by Guangmei Records with his talent, and officially became a singer after signing a contract.
However, signing a contract does not mean that you can directly debut and become popular.
It was not until 1984 that Jiang Yuheng, who had been signed for 2 years, finally released his albums "Lonely Journey" and "When".
Since then, Jiang Yuheng's melancholy and sad voice has become a dark horse in the Chinese music scene.
Two years later, Jiang Yuheng released the album "Yesterday's Dream Is Far Away" and began to emerge.
After four or five years of tempering and precipitation, Jiang Yuheng has his own understanding and ideas about music.
So in 1987, Jiang Yuheng jumped to the famous UFO record on the condition of "being the producer of his own album".
Here, Jiang Yuheng completely spread his talents and climbed to the peak of his career.
He released his fifth solo album, "Moving Hearts", which received a good response.
That song "Moving Heart" has also become one of Jiang Yuheng's representative works.
After becoming popular, Jiang Yuheng was also invited to star in the movie "Boy next door", played a conservative and stereotypical teacher, and personally sang the theme song "Give Your Heart to You".
The next two albums directly made Jiang Yuheng crowned as the "Melancholy Prince", which was popular all over the country.
In September 1988, Jiang Yuheng released the album "Toast to the Past".
That song "Cheers to the Past" is a classic song of life until now, enduring.
Tomorrow's wine glass
Don't pretend to be yesterday's sorrow anymore
Please raise a glass with me
Cheers to the past
Immediately after, Jiang Yuheng released a most classic album , "Looking Back Many Years Later".
Among them, the classic "Looking Back Again" has become the pinnacle of Jiang Yuheng, making his reputation famous.
Whether it is lyrics, melody or voice, this song expresses the feeling of life to the extreme.
Looking back, it's like a dream
Looking back, my heart is still the same
Only the endless road accompanied me
In 1990, Jiang Yuheng took this classic song "Looking Back" to the Spring Festival Gala and began to be popular all over the country.
Since then, Jiang Yuheng's melancholy and story-filled singing has accompanied generations of people in the long time.

In addition to breaking through the sky in the singing career, Jiang Yuheng's love is also a low-key good story.
Jiang Yuheng met his wife Xiaofeng before he became famous, whose real name was Li Fenghuang.
In 1982, Jiang Yuheng returned to Taiwan after many years of wandering and found a job singing at the hotel.
As a result, here Jiang Yuheng was lucky to get acquainted with Xiao Feng, who was an accountant in the hotel, and the two became colleagues.
At that time, the two not only worked in one place, but also lived in one direction.
So the relationship between the two became more and more intimate, and eventually came together.
After meeting and falling in love, the two worked together to envision the future and work hard for their careers.
However, at that time, Jiang Yuheng was still a nameless person who had not become famous, and his family was not well-off.
The relationship between the two was firmly opposed by Xiao Feng's family, and his father-in-law was very disapproving of Jiang Yuheng.
Therefore, the two have been in love for many years, and they have not dared to get married for a long time, but their sincerity has not changed.
Later, Jiang Yuheng finally signed a contract with a record company and released an album as a singer, and his career gradually improved.
Until 1990, Jiang Yuheng became a complete hit with a song "Looking Back Again", and the two survived.
During Jiang Yuheng's fame period, Xiaofeng silently paid too much bitterness and loneliness behind his back.
After Jiang Yuheng became famous, the two originally wanted to enter the marriage hall with the trend, but their careers suddenly encountered a crisis.
Later, Jiang Yuheng relied on the money earned from singing to make an investment, and the result was a huge loss.
The money saved over the years was suddenly wasted, so that the marriage between the two had to be postponed.
During this period, Xiao Feng has always chosen not to give up and accompany him through the difficulties.
In 1993, after 11 years of falling in love, the two finally achieved the right results and entered the marriage hall as desired.
That year, Jiang Yuheng was already 35 years old, and Xiaofeng was desperate to marry him at his lowest point.
After marriage, they took all the red envelopes they received to repay the debt, which amounted to more than 1 million Taiwan dollars.
Later, after years of hard work, the couple ushered in a second spring in their career.
In the second year of marriage, the two had the crystallization of love and gave birth to a lovely daughter, and everything was happy and perfect.
In the entertainment industry, Jiang Yuheng and his wife can be called a low-key model couple, and there has never been a scandal or discord.
Since 1982, they have fallen in love, and now the two have walked hand in hand for 39 years, which can be called a beautiful love on earth.
Although Jiang Yuheng, who is 63 years old, no longer publishes albums, he is still active in the music world, singing the past like songs.
He said that his material requirements are not very high, and the money he earns is enough for family expenses, and he will devote the rest of his life to charity.
Looking back, his classic songs will still touch our hearts and let us learn to face life plainly and calmly.
As the song "Looking Back Again" sings:
I once asked questions in the shadows and darkness
Only to know that plain and calm is the truth
