When you think of Jay Chou, what do you think of? His "Seven Miles of Fragrance", "Rainbow", or "Sunny Day"?

There is no doubt that Jay Chou is an inseparable milestone in the Chinese music scene, and it engraves the youth memory of a generation. But today, let's not talk about his music, let's go back to the beginning, and talk about what kind of person he is.

There was a popular saying on the Internet before, "Start with appearance, fall into talent, and be loyal to character", which is the triple realm of liking. How to start with appearance, it is good to fall into talent, if you can't be loyal to your character, that is, you deny the value of being born as a human being. So, what is Jay Chou's character?

As long as my mother is happy, I am willing to give everything for her.

Recently, Jay Chou posted his mother's paintings on the brand's official blog, praising his mother as the painter he has ever seen, with diverse styles and personality. While praising my mother, I don't forget to praise myself by the way. As we all know, Jay Chou's mother's name is Ye Huimei, an art teacher at Tamkang Elementary School in Taipei, and his fourth album is named after his mother. When Jay Chou was in kindergarten, his mother sent him to the Danjiang Mountain Leaves Preschool Music Class to learn piano, and the teacher told Zhou's mother that Jay was very talented in music. The family's economic conditions are limited, but in order to train her son, Zhou's mother took out all her savings to buy a good piano for her son, and invited the best piano teacher for tutoring. In the third grade of elementary school, Jay was obsessed with the sad tunes of the cello, and his mother took out her savings to buy a cello for her son again. Jay's musical talent is more and more revealed, but his grades in cultural classes are a mess, and he is even considered to have an intellectual disability. Zhou's mother believes that her son has no intellectual disability, gives her son more love and support, and injects strong spiritual motivation into Jay's music path. Just like the lyrics "Listen to your mother, don't let her get hurt", Jay Chou loves his mother very much, and as long as he is in Taiwan, he will live with his mother. Watch a midnight movie and travel with your mom to relax. Although he is now a king and has a lot of income, all the money he earns is still handed over to his mother, he receives pocket money regularly, and he doesn't have a credit card. As long as it's my mother's birthday, Jay will be by her side and never be absent. He said that as long as he is in front of his mother, he will always be a child, and he will live with his mother after getting married. Jay Lun loves to eat fried rice noodles made by his mother, originally he hoped to help his mother open a rice noodle shop, but his mother said, "I only make it for you." Mom doesn't touch anything she doesn't like, everything Mom likes will be successful, from music, movies to self-created brand clothing, Jay will ask Mom's ideas.

In addition to his mother, there is also his grandmother who has been with him since he was a child, and Jay Lun also specially wrote a song for his grandmother. During the filming of the MV, which lasted for 16 hours, Jay Lun was worried about his grandmother's body, kept shouting about the cold, worried that his grandmother was bored, and took out his mobile phone from time to time to help his grandmother take pictures. Including "Rosemary", Jay Lun fixed his love for his grandmother in the MV. Even his father, who rarely participated in his own upbringing, Jay reaccepted after many years and invited his father to star in his movie "The Secret That Can't Be Said". Jay Chou Kunling Taipei Wedding Banquet, Father Zhou on the left, and Gan Bowen, a music enlightenment teacher on the right. In 2012, when I accompanied my mother to an art fair, I saw a painting in the photo, and I knew that the painting was only exhibited and not sold. This is true for family, not to mention friends and colleagues.

His partner Fang Wenshan, friend Liu Genghong, makeup artist Du Guozhang, dance teacher Ice Cream, assistant Li Fengni and the newcomer Nanquan mother he brought out have always been his iron buddies. Makeup artist Du Guozhang's "Thousands of Miles Away" He helped them write songs, release albums, and often took them to appear in MVs and movies.

The MV for "Hair Like Snow" is Jay Chou's chief Dancer Song Ruiting. The MV of "Ecstasy" is Jay Chou's national standard dance teacher Cai Jialing.

There is a very popular post on Zhihu "How is Jay Chou's character", and many fans share the heartwarming story between themselves and Jay Chou on it.

@雨丝儿: In January this year, a friend went to watch Jay Chou's Hong Kong concert and was lucky to be drawn by Jay Chou to sing the chorus. Friends have liked Jay Chou for 16 years, although his parents and friends don't understand why he is chasing stars, he said that he is chasing a spirit. Jay was very moved after hearing this, invited this loyal fan to eat noodles, and took pictures with him. It was still a Hong Kong concert, Jay Chou met a female fan, she held up the light sign from the Beijing concert to the Hong Kong concert, and excitedly ordered the song "Garden Fair". After more than 3 minutes of singing, the security officer took her microphone away, and Jaylen saw it and said he wanted to hear her voice again until she sang the whole song with him.

On the streets of Taipei, fans happened to meet Jay Chou when they were walking their dogs, and they excitedly wanted to take a photo with him, but it happened that the mobile phone was out of battery, and he said to Jay in a hurry, "I'll go back and get the ipad, wait for me." And Jay Chou also agreed very kindly: Okay, I'll walk the dog for you, you go get it. The male fan quickly ran home and got an iPad. When Jay Lun returned the dog to the owner, he also joked: This dog is such a dick, tell it to ignore me~

@暗夜行路: In July last year, someone asked Jay on Facebook to cheer for his injured sister, and Jay immediately recorded a video when he saw it.

@夜神乐: There is an Australian fan Lawrence, who has been in contact with music since he was 5 years old, and when he was in high school, he liked Jay Chou through movies, became his fan, and began to learn Chinese. At the age of 19, he was diagnosed with bone cancer that had metastasized to his lungs, and had to undergo knee amputation to prevent his condition from worsening, but there was still only a 30% chance of surviving for 5 years. Jay Chou wrote his blessing and signed it in his letter in Chinese, which made the Australian fan very happy. Jay Lun suffers from ankylosing spondylitis,

@叫兽易小星曾经贴出他跟杰伦的一段对话: When he walked, his back was very stiff, and I asked, "Isn't your spondylitis cured?" I was sad for a while, and then I asked, "What about concerts?" He said: "Take medicine, analgesic, otherwise the fans will come to see something." ”

There are many, many more stories like this. Jay Chou promised fans that no matter how busy they are, they will definitely release an album a year. Compared to his profits in other industries, an album is nothing, more than that, he is fulfilling the promise with his fans. Last year, there was a vigorous scolding turmoil, Chen Nian said that Jay Chou was garbage on the show, and many netizens, including Fang Wenshan and Yuan Li, demanded that Chen Nian apologize. Jay Chou never mentioned this matter in front of his family, and in the end, he only responded lightly, forget it, it doesn't matter.

He called Taiwan "Taiwan Province" in the Taiwan program, and he brought Chinese music to the world, saying that "Chinese songs are the most dick". "Hair Like Snow", "Blue and White Porcelain", and "Thousands of Miles Away" are filled with the simple charm of "Chinese style" and have been sung for a long time. Jay Chou not only makes people remember his music, but also admires his character. I believe that everyone also lives with a Jay Chou in their hearts, recording time, or engrave a certain memory. Time is like water, but that beauty lasts for a long time, illuminating our former youth.
