People who listen to songs often say that when they understand Li Zongsheng's songs, they are already confused. In the Chinese music scene, Li Zongsheng's songs have a unique style of reading white, as well as the emotions in the lyrics, which will always resonate with everyone.
If you want to say why he can create so many classic songs that have been sung for a long time, it may be his personal experience, really experienced, and then poured his feelings into the work, so that different people can find their own shadow in his songs.
I remember when participating in "Kangxi Is Coming", Cai Kangyong asked Li Zongsheng, "I heard that every time you create an album, you will fall in love with a girl, is this true?" ”。
Li Zongsheng did not answer positively, but avoided the question by singing to the audience, perhaps this is everyone's impression of his feelings, mysterious and unspeakable story.
Since the ancient talents have many winds, Li Zongsheng is the most representative one, experiencing many relationships in his life, and none of them have been cultivated to a good end after vigorously.
Among so many male singers in the music world, Li Zongsheng has only created songs for many female singers, and these works also convey the feelings contained in them from the perspective of girls, so everyone calls him a male singer who "understands women's hearts the most".
And these songs are still the catchy works of everyone to this day, and his masterpieces are full of controversial stories in each capital, closely related to feelings.
"The Time for the Little Rain to Come" and "The End", this is the beginning of Li Zongsheng's career development, the young Li Zongsheng's family conditions are not good, but it is difficult to stop his love for music, participated in the "Acoustic Guitar" choir.
At that time, he was full of expectations for music, which also laid the groundwork for his first love Zheng Yi later.
In the 1980s, the Taiwanese music scene was in the stage of development, and Rolling Stone Records, as the most famous record company, its artists were naturally very famous, and Zheng Yi was one of them.
In a performance activity, Zheng Yi and Li Zongsheng met in this way, one with good looks, one full of talent, the two felt sorry for each other, and gradually they secretly had feelings.
At that time, Zheng Yi's company planned to produce a new album for her, invited a well-known producer at the time, but because of the time problem did not cooperate, Zheng Yi took this opportunity to recommend Li Zongsheng, but at that time he was not famous, the company naturally felt unreliable, but under Zheng Yi's repeated insistence, the company decided to try.
Wanwan did not expect such a recommendation, Zheng Yihong, Li Zongsheng also began to emerge. Li Zongsheng served as a producer and produced this song "The Time for The Little Rain to Come" for Zheng Yi, and the relationship between the two is constantly heating up in their daily relationship.
It's just that maybe everyone's first love is full of uncertainty, and then the two have a long time, the passion recedes and one is addicted to work and one wants to be accompanied, and finally they are separated.
Beginning with music, it ended with music, Li Zongsheng once again wrote a song "End" for Zheng Yi, the lyrics of which stated the reason for the separation: "What do you really want, you never say to me", perhaps lack of communication, the gap is getting deeper and deeper.
In this way, they were separated, and Li Zongsheng's musical path had just begun.
The song "The Price of Love", I think most people have heard it, the original singer is Zhang Aijia, as early as the 70s, Zhang Aijia was a popular female artist, very beautiful, starred in many film and television dramas, but also a goddess-level figure.
At that time, when "The Price of Love" was written to Zhang Aijia, she was already married, and although the two people had not been in love, they were generally confidants.
This song seems to have pried open the door of Zhang Aijia's heart and become her lifelong obsession, and she remembers that many years later, at Li Zongsheng's concert, Zhang Aijia attended as a guest, and when the microphone was given to her, she asked a surprising question : "Have you ever loved me?" For a time, Li Zongsheng was caught off guard by the question, and the answer to the question was not asked for a while, and the audience was also excited.
In the end, Li Zongsheng replied, "When I wrote The Price of Love, I was thinking about you, thinking about why you married someone else."
Some people say that this song is Li Zongsheng's last love letter to Zhang Aijia, although the two people said such words in a joking way at the concert, and some of the true feelings were not allowed.
But savoring the lyrics, there may still be a little regret, "Maybe I still think of her occasionally", if it were not for Zhang Aijia's wife, the two of them should still ignite the spark of love, right?
When this song was mentioned by Li Zongsheng many years later, he said that it was not a love song, but written to his sister, he has always called Zhang Aijia, who is a few years older, as "big sister", after so many years, his feelings for Zhang Aijia should also have undergone various changes, and she is more of an attachment to her sister.
Among Li Zongsheng's several relationships, the most famous of them is the love story with Lin Yilian, a singer of the same diva level.
In 1992, Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian met because of the recording of the theme song of Chen Kaige's movie "Farewell to the Overlord", "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past", this time, he met the people who affected his life, and this relationship was also criticized.
In the intersection of the two of you and me, the exchange between the talented son and the talented woman collided with a spark, which seemed to be a good story, but Li Zongsheng was already married at that time, how could such a love be accepted?
Speaking of Li Zongsheng's wife, who was also a once very popular artist, her name is Zhu Weiyin, she became a DJ of Radio Television Hong Kong at the age of 17, and in 1986, after Su Rui's introduction, she met Li Zongsheng.
Although it was the first time to meet, Li Zongsheng's conversation and talent still attracted Zhu Weiyin, and Zhu Weiyin at that time was also a combination of beauty and talent, and the two people who admired each other soon fell in love, although it was a long-distance love, but it could not stop the love between them.
After talking about love for two years, Zhu Weiyin expressed to Li Zongsheng that he wanted to end his long-distance relationship, and Li Zongsheng immediately understood her meaning, and the two got married.
After Zhu Weiyin got married, she gradually gave up her prosperous career and became a woman behind a successful man.
They also have two daughters, such a life also seems to be very enviable, if their feelings are still the same, if Li Zongsheng is a person who keeps to himself, it is a pity that everything is just a beautiful fantasy, and after the passion retreats, all that remains is cold.
After meeting Lin Yilian, Li Zongsheng complemented her cooperation and brought a lot of inspiration, which deeply attracted Li Zongsheng, who felt that he fell in love and met the most important woman in his life.
Finally in 1994, Lin Yilian decided to break up with her boyfriend who had been in love for many years, and Li Zongsheng's relationship with his wife slowly came to an end, at a concert of Li Zongsheng, Li Zongsheng invited Lin Yilian to be a guest, and when he introduced Lin Yilian to the audience, he was even more excited and excited.
The two people performed the song that is still called the classic "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past", the two people performed affectionately, looking like a couple, when the song ended, Li Zongsheng also vaguely touched Lin Yilian's head, for a time, the people in the audience boiled.
In the face of such a scene, the most uncomfortable thing is Still sitting in the audience Zhu Weiyin, who is his wife, but seeing her husband secretly sending Qiu Bo to other women on the stage, she has a feeling that her husband, who once gave up everything for him, has now become more and more distant from himself.
Such a scene undoubtedly made Zhu Weiyin feel sad, but for the sake of the two daughters in the family, for the integrity of the family, Zhu Weiyin still decided to try to save the marriage.
She made a phone call to Lin Yilian, of course, she did not question and accuse, but calmly told Lin Yilian, "He and I are very much in love, and our two daughters are also very cute."
Lin Yilian naturally understood what this meant, and such a relationship was originally immoral, and immediately decided to end this relationship, in order to break it completely, Lin Yilian did not even wait for the end of the cooperation with Li Zongsheng, she sold everything in Hong Kong and went to Canada.
I thought that I could make a decision, but everyone still underestimated Li Zongsheng's stubbornness, and he felt very sad about Lin Yilian's departure, and ended his concert in Taipei and followed Lin Yilian to Canada.
Coming to Canada, Li Zongsheng found Lin Yilian's residence and wanted to tell his heartfelt heart, but Lin Yilian, who was determined to leave, was closed.
It was late autumn, Lin Yilian thought that the weather was cold, he would stand and leave, but the next day he found that he was still standing in the cold wind.
This time it touched Lin Yilian, determined to be with this man, and later this night's experience was written by him as "For you and me by the cold wind", such a story does not sound like the situation in the novel, "for you and me by the cold wind, tears when lonely", Li Zongsheng is romantic to other women, but he has failed his family.
In the face of such a situation, Zhu Weiyin also saw through and decided to complete them, in 1996, Li Zongsheng confessed the matter between him and Lin Yilian, and also put forward his idea of wanting a divorce, Zhu Weiyin also understood that forced retention was torture for both parties, so in the second year, they ended their ten-year marriage.
Lin Zongsheng was finally able to be with Lin Yilian as he wished, but after 6 years, he was still divorced, and it seemed that he had not cultivated the right results if he desperately got his hand, which really responded to the sentence "What he can't get is always in turmoil."
"Ghost Obsession" is also a highly sung song, many men and women who have lost love use this song to express their longing for their feelings, or to express regret that they cannot love a person.
However, to talk about the background of the creation of this song, it is a romantic encounter, and what is more exposed is the nature of Li Zongsheng's talent.
Li Zongsheng was attracted by the flight attendant on the plane when he took a plane, saw her very beautiful appearance, had the idea of wanting to meet her, and also fantasized about what it would be like if he fell in love with her, but at that time the plane was about to land again, thinking that he was going to not see her, and there was still a little regret in his heart, so he wrote the song "Ghost Obsession", with the sentence "Now say that it will not be too early to break up", it is really a popular character.
