How Jay Chou Became World’s Chinese Pop Superstar Due To His Mother’s All Out Love

Jay was called into the office and Wu solemnly told him: “Jay, I’ll give you 10 days, if you can write 50 songs, and I can pick 10 from those, then I’ll help you launch an album.”

This made Jay very excited and motivated. He called to tell his mother and then ran down the street after work to buy a large box of instant noodles.

He thought that this was his last chance, even if he were to die of exhaustion; he will still have to give it his best!

The bloodshot eyes Jay wrote about 50 songs and each of the songs were written in a very proper structure. Finally, Wu let out a fade smile of happiness.

He picked out the 10 songs and in early 2001, Jay’s first album “Jay ” was debuted.

The recording company did not have much hope for Jay’s album and was simply hoping to earn enough to just recover the cost of production.

However, that album became like a fierce typhoon that swept through Taiwan, quickly snapped up by fans. “Jay” won in Best Pop concerts in Taiwan that year for best album, best producer and best composer three awards.

Jay’s success was totally not within the expectation of the company and the music industry was totally shaken as well by Jay’s sudden rise.

If the first album was a sign of success, then Jay’s second album “Fantasy” was even a bigger one.

“Fantasy” became a storm that swept through the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia and the entire Chinese music industry, sweeping numerous awards, one after another.

Jay finally succeeded after the earlier years of his unhappy family, sad childhood and painful teenage period.

He is fully aware that if not for his mother, he would not have been able to make it.

Because of Jay, his mother did not remarry as he was the world to her.

Now that Jay has become so rich, he gives all his income to his mother to be in charge.

Even though he now has his own house, he still goes home every weekend to spend time with his mother and grandmother.

And as time goes by, the memories of her husband’s sarcasms, his teachers’ opinion of him and the hardships that they went through together has slowly vanish in Ye Hui Mei’s mind.
