On the evening of the 7th, Yu-Ching Fei, a 64-year-old "Evergreen Tree" singer, officially "sealed wheat" and retired from the music scene after completing her last farewell concert in Taipei.
The last concert
"I am also an ordinary person, always ups and downs, mixed feelings. As a singer, I am looking for his bosom friend. Dear friend, you are my bosom friend. Thank you. "
At the farewell concert on the evening of the 7th, Yu-Ching Fei not only sang her own classic songs, but also sang songs by Eason Chan and Jacky Cheung. Among them, he felt that "A Thousand Miles Away" was too sad to be included in the song list, but he finally sang with the audience.
Yu-Ching Fei mentioned that he would cherish every minute of the concert. "I must sing more songs in three hours. Thank you for coming to the scene. Our destiny has not been abandoned. Thank you for your care and support over the years. Say it again, thank you! "
Although this was the last concert, Yu-Ching Fei remained gentle and funny. Until the end, he choked twice and chatted with the audience.
Yu-Ching Fei said that he always remembered that his mother kept encouraging him to continue singing, and his father warned him to look at life more. He frankly regretted not putting down the microphone to accompany his father for a while two years ago, and the pain that his son wanted to support but could not stay with him remained in his heart.
The three-hour concert soon ended. Watching the audience cry, Yu-Ching Fei forced a smile and said, "Don't mention it when you meet me in the street in the future. Say hello to me. There is a coffee shop next to you. Sit down for a cup of coffee and chat! "
A year's farewell
In fact, Yu-Ching Fei announced his retirement from music at the end of September last year.
At that time, he disclosed his feelings through a personal letter, saying that since he entered the music scene at the age of 17, he has been moving forward rapidly and neglected to appreciate the scenery along the way; After their parents died, they lost their sense of belonging in life, and applause could not fill this loss. Only by stopping can they learn to taste life calmly.
Regarding the arrangement after retirement, Yu-Ching Fei said that he would spend more time traveling, because he had never even been to Alishan in Taiwan Province Province after work.
"For such a long time, I have worked very happily. If I want to leave everything behind and start a new life, it's actually quite unique. But I really don't want to sing old age. Some people (choose to continue) sing because they are happy, but for me, I have to leave some time for myself. I haven't done much. "
Since Yu-Ching Fei announced his retirement, every concert he gave was full of sadness of parting. When singing in Australia, he lamented that he had been debuting for decades. Although it was time to say goodbye, he still didn't give up.
When he was singing in Chongqing, he once choked up and couldn't finish singing "I wish you a long time". With the cheers and encouragement of the audience, Yu-Ching Fei wiped her tears with a handkerchief, took a deep breath and sighed "It's hard to say goodbye" before singing the last sentence "I wish you a long time, thousands of miles away." .
Poor since childhood, never married.
Yu-Ching Fei, whose real name is Zhang Yanting, was born in 1955. His older brother is Chang Fei, the host of Taiwan Province, and his older sister, formerly known as Zhang Yanqiong, had a stage name and later became a monk.
Because their parents divorced, the three brothers and sisters lived in poverty since childhood. In his early years, Yu-Ching Fei was introduced by his sister to sing in nightclubs and made a living by singing in bars. 1977, under the recommendation of my sister, she was appreciated by Liu Jiachang, a famous songwriter and director, and signed a contract with Haishan Records to officially start her acting career.
After decades of debut, Yu-Ching Fei won numerous awards. His voice is gentle and pure, and Teresa Teng once praised his voice for being so loud and clear. So there are always new people in the music world.
Although she is a senior singer, Yu-Ching Fei has always been low-key and gentle. His concert will always be one person, singing the whole time in a suit, giving people the feeling of listening to a CD.
64-year-old, after a failed relationship in her early years, she has been unmarried and childless. Some media asked him why. He said, "It's not just holding hands to ignite a love, nor is it just that a woman can spend half her life in love."
Yu-Ching Fei's singing is very distinctive. He always likes to look up at the stars at a 45-degree angle and sing. Many people speculate that this is his exclusive way of using his voice, but it is not. Earlier, he explained in the variety show that his habit of looking up has a long history. "In our time, there was a microphone on an iron bar, and then the music came down and began to sing." But earlier, when singing, it was "the wires on both sides were pulled down and the microphone was hung in the middle", and sometimes it was even necessary to sing on tiptoe.
Yu-Ching Fei said that his withdrawal from music was a complete withdrawal. In the future, no matter what the media say or how the phone calls, he will never appear again, as if it were farewell.
