"Her voice is thin and sharp, very contrived, and she is not at all a horse-riding and unrestrained person like the book describes."
Qi Yu first met Sanmao because she was about to sing a song written by the other party, although she had a bad impression at first sight and had a lot of criticism of this famous writer in her heart, but she quickly covered up her emotions, friendly cooperation, and eventually became a good friend publicly appreciated by Sanmao.
In her early years, she became acquainted with her mentor Li Taixiang, and then gained the favor of her mentor, and a song "Olive Tree" made her a hit. Led the rebellious brother Qi Qin to the road of music, and had the grace of knowing Zhou Huajian... Both mentioned that she was full of admiration.
Although both marriages ended happily, cheated or betrayed, she was able to withdraw decisively and gracefully. In the face of her ex-husband's accusation that she "abandoned her daughter", she did not give any superfluous explanation, but instead spoke out to protect her ex-husband's reputation.
Praised by many people as an "angel", Qi Yu is indeed worthy of this title, she can always keep herself and the people around her in the most comfortable state, it is difficult for people to feel bad about her, the method is smart, and the way is superb.

In the 1970s, Qi Yu's family underwent dramatic changes. Her parents were at odds, and after divorce, they went to the United States one after another; the eldest brother Qilu made progress in his studies, packed his bags and went to Japan to study; only she and her younger brother Qi Qin were left at home to rely on each other.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Qi Qin was in adolescence, made some fox friends, was deeply affected, and learned to drink heavily. After a drunken fight with this group of friends, the police were alarmed, and he was sent to a correctional institution equivalent to a prison.
Qi Yu, who was studying at Taiwan University, heard the news and instantly felt that the sky had fallen, and she regretted that she had not taken good care of her brother to have such a flaw, so every weekend, she would go to visit Qi Qin.
Standing in front of the high fence and barbed wire, looking at his brother's appearance of being soft and hard and not eating, Qi Yu was heartbroken, and could only repeatedly tell his brother to take good care of his body.
At the age of 21, she has always loved singing, and she participated in the Golden Rhyme Award and folk style competition, and won the double championship in one fell swoop. She took out the 8,000 yuan prize money she won in the competition, turned around and bought a guitar and sent it to her brother.
Qi Yu forced Qi Qin to learn music to purify her soul, she knew that her brother was talented, and sure enough, Qi Qin's heart slowly calmed down, and she gradually fell in love with singing and began to reform herself.
In the same championship competition, the judge Li Taixiang, who was sitting in the audience, noticed Qi Yu and decided to take her as an apprentice. Receiving the favor of the famous music master, Qi Yu was very surprised and immediately asked the teacher for advice.
As long as she gets out of class, she will rush to the teacher's house to practice singing, accept all the opinions, actively correct, special voice, strong talent, hard work, Li Taixiang is very fond of this disciple.
He took out "Olive Tree", which he had been creating for many years, which was a work that Li Taixiang was very optimistic about, and he had long planned to find a best interpreter for it, so he handed it to Qi Yu to sing.
Qi Yu did not live up to the expectations of his mentor, and the songs and people all became popular overnight. Immediately after, she sang the theme song for the movie "Happy Face", which won a blockbuster award again and became famous.
After that, Li Taixiang helped her introduce the lyricist Sanmao of "Olive Tree" and got acquainted with the great literary writer, Qi Yu understood that this would benefit her music career a lot, she covered up her first impression of Sanmao's poor, and talked with her about the lyrics and songs, and the two became friends.
In 1985, Qi Yu decided to make an album, she invited Sanmao to participate in the creation, and invited Pan Yueyun to sing together. The three of them pondered in the room for a long time, and finally knocked on the heart of Sanmao, who had been in trouble for half a lifetime.
From wandering in a foreign country to settling in the desert to the unexpected death of her husband Jose, Sanmao wrote about his experience in 11 songs, and the album was named after his English name "echo".
Qi Yu knew that the emotions contained in these songs were extraordinary, and she tried to figure out the deep meaning of the words, and when she sang for the first time in the recording studio, Sanmao, who was standing next to her, listened attentively and burst into tears.
She praised Qi Yu, "I have two good friends in my life, the angel Qi Yu and Cleopatra Pan Yueyun. "There are only three women in Taiwan who are the most suitable for bohemian long skirts, that is, Sanmao, Qi Yu, and Pan Yueyun."
With the death of Sanmao's self-hanging 6 years later, these songs became the sound of life, and Qi Yu, whose career was in the sky, was awarded the title of Queen of Heaven.
After becoming popular, Qi Yu still treated people kindly, and when she met Zhou Huajian, who was still a nobody in the company, she introduced him to sing advertising songs, thus becoming famous, and the company began to cultivate him to make records. Mentioned many years later, Zhou Huajian has always been grateful.
"It was her songs that made me have the urge to sing, and she also helped me at the beginning of the music world, and later when I opened my first world tour, I specially invited Qi Yu as my singing guest." Our fate is deep. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > two marriages</h1>
While the singing career is smooth sailing, Qi Yu's feelings are twists and turns, but she has always been very sober in dealing with various emotional disputes, blameless and admirable.
When studying in the United States, Qi Yu fell in love with his classmate David, and two young people in love were like-minded, they studied their studies together in class, and they played music together outside the class.
David served as Qi Yu's accompanist, and there seemed to be endless topics between the two. At the age of 24, Qi Yu and his lover entered the marriage hall and spent a very happy time.
Three years later, Qi Yu decided to return to Taiwan to focus on the development of music. At first, David accompanied her to Taiwan as a lecturer in the Department of Archaeology at National Taiwan University, and soon after, he returned to China to become a professor.
The two people lived apart in two places, began a foreign marriage, saw less and less, and gradually even contacted less, Qi Yu sensed that something was wrong, tried to quit the stage, she reduced her workload, went home more to accompany her husband, and looked like a full-time wife.
Unfortunately, the change is still as scheduled, 9 years of marriage, with the feelings faded, David did not survive the "marital itch", he cheated and had a new lover.
When Qi Yu learned about it, she did not try to stay, but immediately packed her bags and returned to Taiwan, a divorce document to let the other party go, and then she used a song "Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?" (Where the flowers fall, time is gone), whisper goodbye to the past.
She continued to sing, blending all the joys and sorrows into the music. In 1991, Qi Yu reunited with li Taiming, the younger brother of his mentor Li Taixiang and music producer, and in the day-to-day relationship, Qi Yu's lost heart was comforted.
From musical confidants to intimate lovers, they soon stepped on the red carpet of the wedding hand in hand. After marriage, Qi Yu gave birth to a lovely daughter Li Jie, and the family looked harmonious and happy.
However, time changed all this again, and the 8-year marriage was ruined, and the two people quietly divorced. In the first two years of divorce, no one knew about this matter, until in an interview, Qi Qin grinned and said that he and Wang Zuxian had a 16-year relationship, and at the same time revealed the news that his sister had long been divorced.
Everyone was surprised and rushed to ask Qi Yu the reason for the divorce, she smiled and said that there was nothing, "After separating, Li Taiming and I have become very good friends, and our love for our daughter has not decreased." ”
In 2013, his mentor Li Taixiang was seriously ill, and Li Taiming said through reporters that his brother wanted to see his beloved disciple Qi Yu, who learned the news from the newspaper and rushed to the ward to visit, but did not inform the other Li family when visiting.
Everyone speculated, suspecting that Qi Yu and her ex-husband divorced still had mustard, and then Li Taiming came forward to reveal that he had no contact information for Qi Yu for a long time, and she had not contacted her daughter for 10 years, "It may be related to her religious beliefs, as far as Buddhism is concerned, I and my daughter are her past life causes, and I have to let go." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone accused Qi Yu of abandoning his daughter fiercely, and speculated whether the couple had dispersed unhappily, and sure enough, an insider came out to break the news: Li Taiming owed a lot of foreign debt and cheated.
"When we decided to separate, we were really rational, not as noisy as ordinary people, we were all very rational people, very open-minded people." 」 Public opinion is boiling, and Li Taiming has repeatedly clarified that he is very innocent, but no one believes it.
In the end, Qi Yu helped to calm the storm with "personality incompatibility", "because the personalities of two people are really different, so even if you have the same interest, there is no way to really be together." ”
She ignored the idea of abandoning her daughter. After many years, Qi Yu finally said her inner thoughts, she was just to protect her daughter, after all, as a public figure, her daughter received too much attention with her, and she wanted to give her daughter a normal life.
"Because they have a very good family now, I don't want to bother them, it will bother her in the process of her studies, I think the newspaper wrote that I was divorced, and her daughter as a public figure was actually quite hard, and then she returned to a normal life, which I think is very good." 」
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
"Whether it is music or life, my sister has always supported me and helped me. In the eyes of many people, my sister and I are a bit like angels and wolves. Her voice was like a natural sound, and I was a lone wolf on the earth. ”
Qi Qin once commented that his sister was an angel and that he was a lone wolf. However, today, he has long ceased to be "lonely", with a wife and children, a happy family, and only Qi Yu is left alone in the world, living a free and free life.
In 2019, Qi Yu participated in "Singer" in order to do public welfare, humming the old songs belonging to her time, ranking down to several consecutive issues, and some people suggested that she sing some popular songs to show her singing skills, but she did not listen, insisting on showing a different charm on the stage.
"In fact, I still stick to my own ideas and myself, and I know very well what I can and can't do."
