Him and Her, Lin Qiuli and Xiong Meiling

30 years ago, Lin Qiuli wrote the lyrics and Xiong Meiling composed the music. This talented couple has worked together to create countless masterpieces and fulfill many singers' dreams of becoming stars. Zhang Qingfang "I'm still young", Tai Zhengxiao "Find a word instead", Huang Yingying "Crying Sand", Tsai Chin "Heart is too anxious", Andy Lau " Thank you for your love ", Southern Duo "I'm from the South" ", Meng Tingwei's "Sign Language"... are all written by them. Lin Qiuli has also written classic works such as "Listen to the Sea", "Cut Love", "Jiangnan", and "Dark". He was the chairman of Haidie and the mentor of JJ Lin and Adu.

Together, they use music to express their feelings for each other, and their feelings provide inexhaustible inspiration. "Your name is on the left, my name is on the right." We are lucky enough to hear affectionate and gentle music in their unique romance, and hear about their love.

He started writing songs

twenty years ago to express his love to his sweetheart.

That year, Lin Qiuli was 26 years old, left home and came to Taipei to work hard. I often drink with my friends until midnight, and sometimes sleep on the roadside when I'm drunk. Once I slept under a car and was almost run over by a car.

Xiong Meiling is already famous for writing the song "Hug Me" for Chen Shuhua . Not long ago, my six-year relationship broke down, and I was in the haze of the breakup, waiting for the procedures to be completed to immigrate to the United States.

In the creative circle, a group of friends who like music often get together to talk about music and life. Among them are them. There was a story during this period of , which was often mentioned by people in the industry later.

When they met for the third time. Lin Qiuli sent Xiong Meiling home alone. They chatted a lot along the way until they arrived at Xiong Meiling's residence. The two of them were still not satisfied, so they went to the small attic where Xiong Meiling lived to continue chatting. They talked a lot about their views on music and life. Xiong Meiling gradually felt that many of this boy's views were very close to her own, so the two of them chatted until dawn. Xiong Meiling went to bed alone, while Lin Qiuli was resting in the living room. When Xiong Meiling woke up the next day, Lin Qiuli had left, leaving only a letter and a song lyric.

In the letter, Lin Qiuli said: I only slept lightly for a while last night. When I woke up, I looked at your room and the sunlight shining through the window in front of your desk, making the whole room dim. Dimly, I suddenly felt a sense of happiness that I wanted to be taken in. The lyrics of

are "Seagull's Sky". Lin Qiuli sat alone in the living room of Meiling's house, thinking about her life over the past year, her future, and the pressure from all aspects, and wrote it down. This song later became the only song since the two collaborated that had lyrics first and music later.

"I was just a wandering seagull, and I wanted to find a piece of land to land on because I was tired from flying. Then maybe Xiong Meiling was the piece of land where I could land, and I did land later, otherwise now Still flying. "

The only thing she knew at that time was composing,

and the only thing I knew was trying to make her happy.

"Every time I told people that I would catch up with Xiong Meiling in three days, she told me. Urgent! I was very innocent, because we were both very lonely at that time, and I happened to be good at telling jokes, and when I saw that she lived in that kind of place (on the roof of the old apartment next to the wall of the Normal University), I He patted his chest and said, "I'll support you from today on!" So we got together. "

He asked her why she lived here, and she said, "Because you can watch the stars here!" So they watched the stars every night.

However, while she was in love, she got a green card in the United States, and her parents found a boyfriend for her there. She had to go.

In order to keep her, he started writing his own lyrics inspired by his good friend Liang Hongzhi."A Lifetime of Love" flows out from his writing, which is his commitment to this love and the beginning of his career:

A Lifetime of Love, a Lifetime of Repayment

This life will be for you

Looking at the years, I will tell all my lovesickness

A Lifetime Love Life is still

Not long after, this song was sung by Fan Yiwen and became popular. Lin Qiuli’s Xiong Meiling went to the United States.

After Xiong Meiling left, Lin Qiuli stayed on the roof of their building and wrote to her every day. Xiong Meiling, who was in a foreign country, was originally disgusted with immigrants as "second-class citizens", and she often missed that "boy who knew how to tell stories - Lin Qiuli." Fortunately, her sister was very supportive of her pursuit of music and love.

One day, Lin Qiuli on the roof received a call "I'm almost home, are you there?" .

You knock, knock, knock, it hurts my heart

After getting back together, they partnered, worked together, and their music career started. There was a time when the top three songs on the Mandarin pop charts were all their works. First place: "I'm Still Young" by Zhang Qingfang, second place: "A Lifetime of Love" by Fan Yiwen, third place: "Ruthless Strings" by Lin Huiping .

Even if your career goes well, you will be accompanied by your lover. For a long time, Xiong Meiling still couldn't believe in love. Half of her soul had died from her last love. She often locked herself in the house and saw no one, especially Lin Qiuli. When she saw him, she would think of him before. She was heartbroken and blamed herself for being unfair to Lin Qiuli. She wanted to love but was afraid of being hurt. At this time, Lin Qiuli would knock on the door desperately and call Xiong Meiling's name over and over again. The more she told him to leave, the more he refused to leave, worried that she would do something stupid.

You hurt my heart

No matter how sad I am

Have you ever heard me cry

I have seen through your heart

You are truly heartless and you hurt my heart that loves you the most.

Actually hurt my heart that loves you the most

Lin Qiuli's determination finally dispelled Xiong Meiling's extreme loneliness and unlocked the lock in her heart. In 1989, Xiong Meiling released her first solo album "Change of Heart", with the title song titled "Knock, knock, knock, you hurt my heart." Behind this song, only the person involved can explain clearly the pain of Xiong Meiling being pulled by despair and confusion in love, and the tangled process of regaining confidence and accepting Lin Qiuli.

They must not be allowed to meet.

After getting married, agree to help him write songs. Please click here to enter the image description.

Shortly after Lin Qiuli and Xiong Meiling got engaged, Chen Fuming brought the still young Andy Lau to see Lin Qiuli. He hoped that Lin Qiuli The couple helped write the songs. After a few words of conversation, Lin Qiuli quickly fled the scene. "Where did such a handsome man come from!" He vaguely felt that Andy Lau was a "disaster". I have to go home quickly to keep my fiancée Xiong Meiling safe. "We must never let them meet. After they get married, agree to help him write songs."

A few years later, Hua Tsai really "brought harm" to many young girls in their early years. But Hua Tsai has always kept his integrity. He gives them fantasies and never breaks their dreams. Lin Qiuli admired this very much, and Xiong Meiling also admired it very much.

Later, Zhou Zhiping served as the producer of Andy's album and invited Lin Qiuli and his wife to help Andy write songs. Because of "jealousy", Lin Qiuli has been delaying his songwriting plan. When Zhou Zhiping called and said he was coming to pick up the songs. Xiong Meiling was mopping the floor when Lin Qiuli hung up the phone and said "Hurry up, write Andy Lau's song quickly!" Xiong Meiling threw away the mop, rushed into the studio, picked up the guitar, and then rushed out. Throw the cassette to him. He rushed into his studio and grabbed the pen, then wow, rushed into her studio together to listen to her wow wow.

, Lin Qiuli's late song to prevent the "scourge of love", became the title song of Andy Lau's album.

My wife and I are basically invincible once we work together

Lin Qiuli enjoys working with Xiong Meiling.Unlike other husband and wife songwriters in the industry (such as Zhang Yu, Shiyilang and his wife, Tan Jianchang, and Xiaoxuan), most of them are composed and sung by their husbands, while their wives write lyrics. Lin Qiuli doesn't know how to play a musical instrument, and Xiong Meiling refuses to teach her, fearing that he will steal her business. Xiong Meiling likes to write music first because she can capture inspiration without restraint. Their workflow is always music first and lyrics second.

Usually, as soon as Xiong Meiling's music comes out, Lin Qiuli can hear what her music is about without any prompting. And Xiong Meiling can always accurately understand the picture Lin Qiuli wants to express through the lyrics.

“My wife, Xiong Meiling, and I are basically invincible once we collaborate. I’m not talking about how good our stuff is. In fact, what I want to emphasize is that a composer and a lyricist are in perfect harmony. This kind of tacit understanding. "

Lin Qiuli likes ancient poetry, and among ancient poets, he prefers Li Qingzhao. He said, "Xiong Meiling is a living Li Qingzhao" . She wrote "Crying Sand" just after finishing frying a dish. She threw away the rice spoon and wrote it in a hurry. It was this song that rescued the couple who were at a career low in the 1990s and pushed them to another peak.

She has the tenderness of a Jiangnan woman. You know she is angry and uncomfortable, but she still makes you feel her tenderness. She was the best "Jiangnan" female prototype when he wrote "Jiangnan".

Every lyric I write is a love letter I wrote to her

And we can also sell it for money

The Taiwanese industry commented on their love: "Xiong Meiling is like the heroine in Qiong Yao's works: delicate, sensitive, and elegant. A fairy who doesn't eat fireworks from the world, and Lin Qiuli is like an infatuated man who only appears in novels, appearing next to the fairy when she is in the most critical moment. "

" Of course there will be disputes, but we are all cautious. Avoid hurting each other badly, even a little hurt will hurt each other's hearts!" married a wife like the heroine in Qiong Yao's works , "There are all kinds of tragic factors, but we live a happy life. There are very few conflicts between us. If there is, I will bow my head first - this is the secret of harmonious coexistence over the years! We are easy to talk to and find it difficult to refuse others. We usually help each other heal our hurt hearts after we go home! "

In Lin Qiuli's Weibo, you can often see him sharing his daily life with his wife:

She can ignore me visiting the beautiful girl, she can also ignore my private messages with the beautiful girl, and she can even ignore it. I'm going to have a date with my pretty girl! Just when I thought I could do whatever I wanted, she said: "Writing a song?... It depends on whether I am happy or not!"

Yesterday, when we were having dinner, we talked about one of our songs, "Love and Business", which contains a line: " When I'm drunk, I hold your hand tightly and take you to see the mountains and rivers to see if I fall in love with you!" Suddenly I felt dizzy. This situation... is simply like the Condor Heroes! When I returned to the hotel after dinner, I told my wife these innermost thoughts, and she glared at me for a long time... You used to be more like Yang Guo, but now, you are like that eagle, and you are an old eagle!

They teased each other like an ordinary old couple. In the past 30 years, the sugar of love has turned into white rice porridge, but they are still steaming and chatting with each other. Lin Qiuli said , "Xiong Meiling and I talk about everything except love, because we don't need to talk about it. Every lyric I write is a love letter I write to her, and we can sell it for money."

is in Listeners at all stages of love search for their "love letters" to comfort their love, and then prepare love words to continue waiting or continuing to love.

As for Lin Qiuli and Xiong Meiling, they can never finish their love letters, because the inspiration of love will never run out. He writes the lyrics and she composes the music. The words and the music are frank confessions, and they like to use the method of knowing each other.
