Early life

He was born Chang Yen-ching in Taipei, Taiwan on 17 July 1955. His eldest sister is Chang Yan-qiong, was a singer formerly known as Jenny Fei, and later became a buddhist nun in 1991 best known as Heng Shu [zh] (恆述法師). His elder brother Chang Fei is also a singer and host.

This song was chosen by China Television to end each day's broadcast in 1979. It was dubbed "打烊歌" (Closing Shop Song) to announce breaktime.

In 2006, he was featured in a duet, "千里之外" (Faraway) with Jay Chou released in his album Still Fantasy. In February 2008, he also performed during CCTV-4's Chinese New Year special, singing a solo version of "千里之外" (Faraway), which was also performed by Chou later in the programme.
