He has experienced ups and downs since he was a child, relying on his father to support his family.

Personal experience

Qu Youliang

This name may be very strange, but if you have seen the 1986 movie hero by Chow Yun fat, you may think of the theme song hero he sang in it. Qu Youliang, formerly known as Qu Yongwei, was born in Taipei in 1961.

Qu Youliang had a rough life. He loved literature and music since he was a child. He was the only son of a soldier. At the age of nine, he lived with his father because of family troubles. After graduating from high school, he worked as a newspaper delivery and Porter, and took on all the livelihood of his family. He joined the army at the age of 20 and served in the compulsory military for two years. In 1983, he retired and returned to Taipei. He began to ride a motorcycle and carry a guitar to sing in the popular folk song restaurant in Taiwan at that time. He was very popular with young friends and called it "song". Although he is silent, he is naive and straightforward.

In 1985, he met famous producer Chen fuming in the way of self recommendation. The self-confidence of his way of self recommendation and the quality of his voice are deeply loved by Chen fuming. It happened that Chen fuming and another famous producer, Cao Junhong, were planning to set up a music company, later called "Kedeng". So the song became the company's first singer.

At the same time, Hong Kong director Michael Mak is on his way to Taiwan to find a suitable singer for his new film. He has also invited many record companies to recommend him. Among them, some of the auxiliary talents have been set up, but "Kedeng" has not yet been published. In this way, the song competes with many famous male singers at that time. Finally, the song conquered the director's heart with its hoarse, dark, rich and emotional voice, and invited the song to perform as the theme song of every film in the future. So with the launch of the film, the song finally launched its first album in January 1986, and achieved remarkable results. This is called hero. This person, who originally had no bright spot or background, just because of his self-confidence and courage, became his biggest bright spot and background, and was named "hero" by the media and fans of Taiwan Island. When Andy Lau, the main actor of the film, turned to singing career at the end of that year, his first song in public on Taiwan TV was "hero", which he sang together with the song!

In 1987, the theme song "reluctant to part" of the film "provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers" was once again well received, and "hero" won all the major awards in all music categories, such as the best singing award, the most potential Rookie Award, the best music production award, the best single award, and so on, which were awarded by the "golden voice Award" held by Taiwan's news authorities (similar to China's Radio and television or propaganda departments) Awards. After the awards show, the next day, almost all the three major print media in Taiwan Island introduced the process of the show and the song - Hero Qu Youliang. However, the big tree catches the wind, followed by the inexplicable and bloodless rumors and false rumors, and began to spread all over the world, and filled with this poor and helpless song and his world. At that time, he just repeatedly asked the people around him: "why? Why? "

In 1988, he released his third album, the dragon in the heart, which was still very successful, but the music became more silent. Up to now, I still don't know why he didn't even say hello to some of his closest friends, so he suddenly disappeared. Zheng Yi, his elder martial sister (because Zheng Yi appeared earlier than Qu Zi, so Qu Zi always respected her as her elder martial sister), was so anxious that she couldn't care about her image that she openly published in the newspaper and searched for Qu Youliang in the music channel she presided over. Chen fuming also inquired about it through various channels, but he got nothing. Finally, more than a year after it disappeared, the song appeared in the platinum studio in Taipei. It became thinner and more silent. It is reported that he even unplugged the power supply of his home phone.

In 1990, the last album "pay" was released, and even the publicity didn't start. The song disappeared again, and so far no one can know its whereabouts. He didn't leave anything, he didn't say anything, he just left more memories. And those damned rumors are finally willing to become silent and fade away.
