When Huajian was a child, his brother gave him a guitar.<\/p>\n

After graduating high school, \u534e\u5065 enrolled the National Taiwan University, where the tuition was relatively cheap. He studied hard in order to enter the Department of Mathematics, but wasn\u2019t quite sure what he really wanted to do in his life. In a local restaurant, where he sang and played folk songs during his studies, he met the people that changed his life.<\/p>\n

In 1981, Zhou Huajian passed the entrance exams and entered the Mathematics Department of National Taiwan University.<\/p>\n

One day while \u534e\u5065 sang, an American girl named Constance Woods entered the restaurant. She was enthralled by his singing, and when she approached and told him:\u201c\u4f60\u505a\u7684\u662f\u4e00\u4ef6\u5f88\u4f1f\u5927\u7684\u4e8b\u4e1a\u201d(n\u01d0 zu\u00f2 de sh\u00ec y\u012b ji\u00e0n h\u011bn w\u011bid\u00e0 de sh\u00ecy\u00e8 = you are doing a great job), he finally understood that singing is more than just a hobby.<\/p>\n

Constance\u2019s support encouraged \u534e\u5065 to be determined about his singing career. She helped him find his goal, and he felt he found his mate. They got married the following year, and today they are proud parents of Andrew and Anya. \u534e\u5065 speaks warmly in many interviews about his family and kids. \u201c\u7537\u4eba\u4e00\u751f\u4e2d\u6700\u4f1f\u5927\u7684\u4e00\u4e2a\u89d2\u8272\u5c31\u662f\u7236\u4eb2\u201d (n\u00e1nr\u00e9n y\u012bsh\u0113ng zh\u014dng zu\u00ec w\u011bid\u00e0 de y\u012bg\u00e8 ju\u00e9s\u00e8 ji\u00f9sh\u00ec f\u00f9q\u012bn = the greatest role in a man life is to be a father), he once said.<\/p>\n

Huajian met an American girl at the restaurant, and got married the following year.<\/p>\n

Constance wasn\u2019t the only one to be charmed. A music producer who visited the restaurant as well was impressed, and offered \u534e\u5065 a job as a music producer assistant. He had only six months left to complete his degree, but \u534e\u5065 couldn\u2019t wait anymore. He left university and joined the Taiwanese record label. Writing and producing songs for other was his main job, but he also sang several commercial jingles. One of them caught the ear of his boss; and in 1984, \u534e\u5065 released his first single as an artist in his record label, in which he is still represented to this day.<\/p>\n

One of his successful albums was released in 1991 under the name\u300a\u8ba9\u6211\u6b22\u559c\u8ba9\u6211\u5fe7\u300b. More than two million copies were sold that year, and the song bearing the name of the album became a hit. The song is a cover of a famous Japanese song named\u300c\u7537\u3068\u5973\u300d(meaning \u201cMen and Women\u201d).<\/p>\n
