Behind each song, there is a story and a memory of an era. There is a song that has been covered by many singers since its debut in 1996. It appears in various competitions and a Cantonese version has been launched. It has become a must-sing song in KTV for a generation. If we list the golden song list with the most covers by singers, ‘Ye Ye Ye Ye’ ranks at the top. Every time this song is sung, it always evokes many people’s memories. Classic reappearance.

Two of them have become Qi Qin’s classic representative works. In 1997, Xiong Tianping officially debuted with his first album ‘Love Danube River’. In 2002, Fish Leong’s cover once again brought this song back to the audience’s ears. In 2013, on the stage of ‘I Am a Singer’, Lin Zhixuan once again sang this familiar classic. In the 1990s, during the heyday of Taiwan’s music scene, powerful singers emerged in large numbers.

The title song of the album ‘Love Danube River’ has a soothing melody and heartfelt lyrics, with a melancholic temperament. With the support of his excellent singing skills, this song and he became famous overnight. ‘Matchstick Heaven’. When young and inexperienced, I thought it was about the little match girl. Later, I learned that this song was written by Xiong Tianping for his cousin who died in a car accident. His cousin was his bosom friend and loyal supporter. During the lonely and misunderstood period, his cousin supported him to persevere in creation. ‘Fool’s Wharf’ is also a song in the debut work ‘Love Danube River’ and is also the opening song of the TV series ‘Beauty in Troubled Times’.Xiong Tianping and Xu Ruyun have virtually dominated the music of this TV drama, with netizens referring to it as ‘the pinnacle of domestic drama soundtracks’. Although ‘Snow Migratory Bird’ is not composed by him, it is the most famous song among all his works. Xiong Tianping stated that this song is imbued with a lot of his personal emotions. Perhaps it is the spirit of the snow migratory bird that deeply moved him, resonating with his own feelings, making this song exceptionally special for him. He possesses a unique vocal timbre of the bel canto style, and music critics often compare him with Zhang Yusheng and Zhang Xinzhe. In his world of love songs, there is no trace of the world’s smoothness and sophistication, like a child who doesn’t know how to protect himself, being sincere and pure, without any impurities. In the complex and snobbish real world, such infatuation with love, naive to the point of being out of place, foolishly persistent, and stubbornly unrepentant, appears especially precious. His songs, singing brightly about the hope and confusion of love, honestly unfolding the persistence of emotions, even when creating dreams, stay away from indulgence in illusions, away from the brief happiness of anesthesia, and the sick freedom of indulgence. His songs, truly suffering or joying for love, are lingering yet direct and true expressions for all emotions in reality, still continuing the search in reality, continuing the pursuit of simplicity and health. Now, he is coming to Nanjing, bringing his composed and performed songs to the stage, stepping onto a well-produced stage, taking us back to the classics. Xiong Tianping is back, still the talented Xiong Tianping; Xiong Tianping is back, still the Xiong Tianping with the voice of nature; Xiong Tianping is back, still the charming Xiong Tianping.
