In 2023, Jay Chou will be 44 years old.

Jay Chou was born on January 18, 1979 in New Taipei City, Taiwan Province. His ancestral home is Yongchun County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. He is a male Taiwanese pop singer, musician, actor, director, and screenwriter. He graduated from Tamkang Secondary School.

Jay Chou's father, Zhou Yaozhong, is a biology teacher at Tamkang Middle School, and his mother, Ye Huimei, is an art teacher at Tamkang Middle School. The relationship between Jay Chou and his mother is like a younger brother and an older sister.

He also wrote songs for his mother many times, such as "Listen to Mom", and even used his mother's name Ye Huimei as the title of the album. Because his parents were divorced, Jay Chou seldom mentioned his father Zhou Yaozhong. Later, under the persuasion of his mother and grandmother Ye Zhan Amei, he re-accepted his father.

Character evaluation:

Jay Chou is a revolutionary and iconic original singer in the pop music market. He is also a musician who has deeply influenced the Chinese music scene. His songs are well-matched with lyrics and music, and have lasting appeal. He combined Chinese local culture with R&B music and completely Chineseized the R&B music form, which to a great extent elevated the status of original songwriters in the Chinese music industry.

He broke through the original themes and forms of Asian music and created a variety of song styles. Not only is he good at rhythm and blues, rap, Western classical piano, etc., but one of his characteristics is that each album has Chinese-style songs. He integrated Hip-Hop and R&B singing into traditional Chinese music, making Chinese style the mainstream style of Chinese pop music.

What is unique about Jay Chou is that while pursuing Chinese-style music, he injects literary beauty and artistic conception into the music, making him an idol without losing cultural taste.
