I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a farm. When I was 10 years old, my father asked me to be responsible for feeding chickens and cleaning up the stable (鸡舍). He believed it was important for me to learn responsibility and moods from those jobs.

When I was 22, I found a job in New York at a country music club. I washed

dishes and cooked from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. I soon became known as a singing cook. I had been refused so many times by record companies that it was easy to be discouraged.

One night, a woman from a famous company named Song Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked. Several weeks later, my manager received a phone call—Sony wanted to sign me to a record deal. I released my first record in July, 1987. It was sold over two million copies.

My best efforts had gone into every job I ever held. It was the sense of

responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.
