Showbiz: I've Been Slacking for Ten Years, and Millions of Fans Beg Me to Return

Ye Xianglun debuted at fifteen, and by eighteen, just three years later, he had become the defining figure of the Chinese music scene.

One song, “Nunchucks,” ushered in a new era.

One song, “Dragon Fist,” sang of the pride of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

He wrote “Kyoto Welcomes You,” the theme song for the 2008 Olympics.

He performed “A Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Rivers” solo at the Olympics.

And yet, he peaked at his debut, then retired at his peak.

After the Olympics, a musical prodigy of his generation faded from sight and stayed retired for ten years, but legends of him still circulated in the entertainment industry.

Then the age of online traffic arrived.

As “You So Beautiful” and “Big Bowl, Wide Noodles” kept assaulting people's ears time and time again,

fans who had lived through the Ye Xianglun era could no longer sit still.

“Ye Xianglun! Look at what the Chinese music scene has become! For crying out loud, release an album!”
