For the specific meaning, please refer to the story of the songwriter Ma Zhaojun.
Jeff Chang Shin-Che recalled the story behind Tolerance told by his teacher Ma Zhaojun.
The death of Taiwanese musician Ma Zhaojun touched the hearts of many people in the music industry. For mainland fans, Ma Zhaojun's works are probably most familiar with Tolerance. Yesterday, Jeff Chang Shin-Che, the singer of this song, wrote an essay to recall the dribs and drabs between himself and the teacher. Jeff Chang Shin-Che said frankly: "Ma Ye's Tolerance once had a great impact on my outlook on life and love."
The first collaboration was a bit disappointing
The first collaboration between Jeff Chang Shin-Che and Ma Zhaojun was when he made his second album. At that time, due to the unexpected sales of his first album, the company built a strong production team for his second album, including Jonathan Lee, Bug, Chyi Chin, and Ma Zhaojun, also known as "Ma Ye".
However, Jeff Chang Shin-Che was not impressed by their first cooperation. Although brilliant, Ma Zhaojun, who was young and successful, was obviously not mature enough, giving people a feeling of irresponsibility. Often before the recording is finished, my heart has already flown to the neon bar. Even once, I dragged Jeff Chang Shin-Che to knock off early and go to a bar to drink. As a result, Jeff Chang Shin-Che lost his voice and could not record for several days. A few years later, it was the low point in Ma Zhaojun's life, and they also lost contact.
The second cooperation was very shocking
The second cooperation between them was after Jeff Chang Shin-Che joined EMI. At that time, he was about to make his first record after joining his new owner. The boss recommended Ma Zhaojun and told him that Ma Zhaojun has experienced many things and changed a lot in recent years, and his creation is also very deep.
Meeting again, Ma Zhaojun's transformation made Jeff Chang Shin-Che feel shocked. During the meeting, Ma Zhaojun came with a guitar. During the whole meeting, Jeff Chang Shin-Che was deeply impressed by Ma Zhaojun's sincerity and expectation. At that time, he sang the DEMO of Tolerance on the guitar, and then told a touching story behind this song, that is, his wife accompanied him all the way to encourage him to spend a hard life in recent years.
Jeff Chang Shin-Che said that this song and this story moved him very much, and also had a great impact on his outlook on life and love. He made up his mind to sing this song well. In fact, the album Tolerance also won him many awards, including Singapore Golden Melody, the most admired male singer in 96' Asia-Pacific region, the most popular male singer, the best record production and the best golden melody, and became one of his masterpieces.
The third cooperation has been indefinite
Jeff Chang Shin-Che said that he had been looking forward to the third cooperation with Ma Zhaojun, but he did not expect that this wish would never come true. He said that he had a phone call with Ma Zhaojun's sister, and said that if there was any opportunity for me to help or do my best, I must inform myself. I hope I have the opportunity to express my thoughts on my teacher.
This is the live version of A Zhe singing in my space, which has special meaning.
