This person is extremely mysterious, secluded all the year round, and very low-key. Few people know his true face, even a photo of him has not been included on the internet, and even if there is, it is not true.
I have been in the business for 30 years, and it has always been a Jianghu myth. I only heard the legend, but I didn't see him. He has never appeared in the public media, and even invited his friends to accept the prize. Chen, his partner, said he was a hermit.
But his songs are as many as the stars in the night sky.
The only way for people to know him is to make a guess from his works, and his works are highly sung, which makes him a "martial arts expert" in the field of song creation.
Yao Ruolong was born in 1965. He graduated from Soochow University in Taiwan Province Province and began to write songs in college. In just a few years, he became a famous poet and cooperated with superstars such as Anita Mui, Emil Wakin Chau, Jenny Tseng and Jacky Cheung.
He knows women's hearts best and sings the most romantically. I also know men's feelings, and I love crazy songs when I die. Through easy-to-understand language, I have created many songs that make people toss and turn.
1995- 1996 has won the Best Poet Award in Taiwan Golden Melody Award for two consecutive years, and is the only lyricist who has won two consecutive awards since the Golden Melody Award was established.
However, it is such a "master of love songs" that few people have heard of his name.
Low-key, never interviewed, never participated in variety shows. On the noisy and lively internet, you can't see any news about him, only his works one after another.
Become famous at a young age
1986 Yao Ruolong, who was only 2 1 year old, was still in college.
But unlike other students, he has started to write songs, one of which was chosen as the title song of the album Cold Summer by the record company and sung by the famous singer Wang Zhilei.

Leng Xia is a cover of the English song Light in Albuquerque. Wang Zhilei sang this song with her natural voice, which was touching and confusing, without any affectation, making it a memory of a generation.
Maybe you will feel strange, how can you feel cold in summer when it is extremely hot? That's because the heroine in the song didn't understand her boyfriend's words, so she separated.
After understanding the deep meaning of her boyfriend, the hostess regretted it and sadly called herself "so stupid." She looked around in tears. Although tears are warm, they can't warm the night.
"Loneliness sings softly in the wind, so sad tonight. Maybe I should invite starlight to cross this sadness. "
From the song "Cold Summer", we can see the style of Yao Ruolong's lyrics: he never talks about Du Like's Fu, but naturally carves clear water hibiscus like Li Bai.
He describes emotions in the simplest and simplest language, and occasionally lights up our hearts with starlight, making us sad along with the melody.
Leng Xia was a great success, and Yao Ruolong became famous. Wang Zhilei admired this talented boy very much, and they later collaborated on several songs: On such a night, Acacia vine and Lullaby, which are all well-known works.

Although Confucius said to stand at thirty, the sooner you become famous, the better. Yao Ruolong is in his twenties, in the prime of his life. It is the most beautiful time to point out the mountains and rivers, inspire words, hit the water in the middle, and stop flying with the waves.
His talent is like a waterfall pouring on a high mountain, which naturally attracts many singers without any pause.
After graduating from college, Yao Ruolong devoted himself to creation and cooperated with many pop stars.
△ Anita Mui
Anita Mui's Hibernating Love, Emil Wakin Chau's Don't Think of Me in the Dream, Jenny Tseng's Dance with Me Tonight, Jacky Cheung's Love You More Every Day, Yu Chengqing's Can't Help Yourself, Beyond's Mandarin Version of Farmers.
△ Emil Wakin Chau
Among them, Jacky Cheung's song "I love you more and more day by day" performed at 199 1 won the highest golden melody award among Chinese people in the world, and it is one of the most representative works of the God of Songs.
The tune of this song is euphemistic and poignant. Yao Ruolong's words are like a river flowing slowly in the moonlight, which makes the listener feel like lying on a boat drifting along the river.
When everything around me is like the wind, you let me find Gendi.
Don't want to leave, just want to stay low-key, love will never wither.
Every day, every day, this drunk,
I love you more and more until I have diarrhea.
△ Jacky Cheung
Plum blossoms bloom for the second time-good things happen again
The cooperation with many superstars makes Yao Ruolong handy, and he is more comfortable in the ocean of music.
He can easily leave the sea to enjoy the fish swimming on the bottom of the sea, or he can step on the waves and let the sea breeze blow into his chest. With the increase of experience, his level of lyrics has been further improved.
1995, Yao Ruolong, who was only 30 years old, won the Best Composer Award in Taiwan Golden Melody Award for "The Most Romantic Thing". This song, sung by Zhao Yonghua, is simple and exquisite, just like lying in a rocking chair in the sun in the spring afternoon, lazy and comfortable, warm and comfortable.
△ Zhao Yonghua
It turns out that the most romantic thing is not the luxury of the nobility, but the sunshine-like ease.
We just need to be soul mates, and the water will flow forever, and we will laugh until we are prosperous. No matter in the morning or in the evening, no matter the ends of the earth, we can always enjoy the truest romance in this world.
The most romantic thing I can think of,
Is to grow old with you.
Collect bits and pieces of laughter along the way,
Save it for later use. Sit in a rocking chair and chat slowly.
The most romantic thing I can think of,
Is to grow old with you.
Until we're too old to go anywhere,
You still treat me like a treasure in your hand.
It's great to win the Golden Melody Award at the age of 30, but no one expected that in 1996, Yao Ruolong won the Golden Melody Award for best composition for his song "Always Believe" written for Weng Qianyu.
△ Weng Qianyu
"Always Believe" is a classic inspirational song, which contains vigorous power in the light melody and inspires everyone to make continuous progress.
"Without the moon, we can also see the stars. Lose the starlight and have a warm look. " At the beginning, it firmly attracted our ears and warmed our eyes.
"I shed tears when you said I was strong. No, I just won't despair. " This sentence speaks for many people. There are not so many strong people in this world, some just refuse to despair!
"Always believe in the distance, always believe in dreams, walk in the wind and rain, and light the candle in your heart." When the eternal song of faith sounded, many people forgot their hesitation, rekindled the candles in their hearts, and set sail for their dreams in the storm.
In addition to the two songs that crowned Yao Ruolong, Yao Ruolong also wrote a lot of famous songs during this period.
For example, Huang Dawei's "You Drunk Me", maybe you haven't heard the original song of Huang Dawei, but you have probably heard the cover version of many stars, such as Anita Mui, Andy Lau, Eason Chan, Yoga Lin, Jam Hsiao, G.E.M. and others.
Another example is Vivian Chow's It's Hard to Leave You, Jacky Cheung's Love Letter and May's Liberation. Speaking of which, how many singers have you loved and how many love songs written by Yao Ruolong have you sung?

A low-key life
When Yao Ruolong won the Taiwanese Golden Melody Award for Best Lyrics twice in a row, he could become a pop star with a little publicity, but he chose to live alone as a behind-the-scenes hero.
There is a very interesting story in the music industry. The hero of the story is Chen. Known as the "master of love songs", Chen is a famous composer. They have cooperated for more than 20 years, and their works have exceeded 100.
For example, Eason Chan's Thank You, Angela Zhang's Farthest Place, Faye Wong's Fire Fighting, You Wait for me at the Terminal, Claire Kuo's The Next Dawn, singing in the trees, Christine's Can You Not Be Brave? One is like summer and the other is like autumn.
However, these two golden combinations have never met in the first four years of cooperation, and they all communicate by telephone. I didn't meet for work until four years later, and then I just contacted by phone, rarely meeting for an interview.
Chen once commented: "He doesn't like to show his face, lives alone and takes good care of himself. He looks at things objectively like cold blood. "
△ Christine
Because of Yao Ruolong's low-key personality, few people know his name. He silently created songs that make our single cycle. Because Yao Ruolong wrote too many famous songs, here are a few.
The praise of "knowing a woman's heart best" is not easily won;
Xin Yongqi's Why Women Are Difficult to Be Women?
ChouHuei agreement
Stephanie's "Enlightenment"
Christine was the first dream.
A glimpse of "Ten Thousand Years" by S.H.E
BiBi Zhou's "mouth to mouth"
The Devil Angel in Hebe Tien's Works
May's The End of the Soul
△ Hebe Tien
Of course, there are two singers that Yao Ruolong often cooperates with:
Fish Leong's Notes, Happy Breakup, Breathable Pain and Today's Valentine's Day.
Angela Zhang's lost beauty, walking in the sky and rain in my pocket.

As a man with delicate feelings, he naturally knows more about men's rudeness and affection:
Su Yongkang's "Let People Who Understand You Love You"
Huang Lei's "I think I am the sea"
Liang Guang is willing.
Song of Parting and Love After Death by Shin.
Emil Wakin Chau's "Happiness through thick and thin".
Hua Chenyu's Lost Yesterday
Eason Chan just came to see.
JJ Lin's "Can't Learn"

When Yao Ruolong writes lyrics, he always looks for inspiration from singers.
God created a woman with a man's rib, and Yao Ruolong filled the lyrics with the singer's soul, making the original cold lyrics come alive and integrate with the singer's life.
His lyrics are often gentle, delicate and touching, and many unspeakable philosophies are revealed by him gently. For example, the following sentences are signed by many people.
"I'm beginning to understand": people will become gentle and understand thoroughly.
Happy breakup: If he always holds an umbrella for others, why don't you wait for him in the rain?
Lost Beauty: Some people can't say what is good, but no one can replace it.
You wait for me at the terminal: Without you, all places are foreign lands, and all trips without you are vagrancy.

Embrace the wind
Different from Lin's obscurity and profundity, vincent fang's neat and elegant lyrics are pure and ordinary. He can always use the most unpretentious lyrics to inadvertently fly out a few witticisms and poke our inner softness.
Listening to his songs is like coming to a stream. In the shallow stream, you can see many leisurely fish, and fish jump out of the water from time to time, which makes people feel happy.
Some people will jump into the stream excitedly, touch out some fish and take them home, and put them in a fish tank to enjoy them seriously.
Have you ever jumped into a stream, cried for a few lyrics, and lowered your brow to meditate?
I like Gao's sentence very much:
Soft wind, soft dreams, soft morning light.
Light clouds and light tears, light years.
Whether it is Yao Ruolong's personality or lyrics, they all pursue light clouds and light winds, reading the prosperity of the world in a low-key way and writing the past of the world of mortals.
He has too many good songs. Who did you brainwash tonight? Your favorite singer, how many people have sung his love songs?
