Chyi Chin (Template:Zh; born 12 January 1960) is a Taiwanese singer, songwriter and actor.

Early life

Chyi Chin was born in Taichung, Taiwan. When he was young, his father had a strict daily regimen of study that started at 5 am. His studies varied from English music and literature to classical Chinese literature and Tang dynasty poetry. Chyi, however, did not enjoy reading. When he became a teenager, his father's push for education caused a strain on their relationship. Chyi joined a local gang in defiance of his father, and landed in jail for three years as a result. During his incarceration, Chyi learned to be introspective and kept a diary. While in prison, he earned an appreciation for music. The prison had a guitar in the courtyard for the "juvenile delinquents" recreation, and Chyi taught himself how to play on it.

After his release, Chyi and his older sister, Chyi Yu, often sang together at home, but his father again placed him in home detention for a year. Chyi Yu, by then already a famous singer, gave Chyi his start in the field. Whenever she performed "The Olive Tree" (橄欖樹), she would tell the audience that her brother could sing it even better than she could. Following a duet in Hong Kong with her brother,[when?] she gave him an expensive guitar, which he practiced with every day, and after their father died from cancer, Chyi did not want to inherit any property, but kept all the books he had to read.[1]

Career

Chyi started his formal career in 1981 with his first album titled See Her Slip Away Again (又見溜溜的她), which made him quite popular later that year. He released the smash hit "Wolf" in 1985 and opened up Rainbow Studios. In 1987, the album Winter Rain (冬雨) was released, and contained the hit Around Winter (大约在冬季), which would later be made into a film.[2]

Chyi groups his music career into two periods: the "wolf period" (pre-1992) and the "deer period" (after he converted to Buddhism in 1992). He attributes the titles of the two periods to "Wolf", the hit single he released in 1985, and a poem that a fortune-teller told him. "The deer bleated/gently towards the hunter's rifle muzzle it walked/gently it toppled/still, with gentle eyes at the hunter it gazed." ("鹿哨呦呦/ 溫柔地走近獵人的槍口/ 溫柔地倒下/ 依然用溫柔的眼神看著獵人").[citation needed]

Personal life

Chyi Chin was in a relationship with Joey Wong from 1985 to 2002. During this period, they separated and reconciled three times, before separating for good in 2002 after a court case and Wong's departure for Canada. They remain friends.

In March 2010, Chyi married 27-year-old Sun Li Ya, in Las Vegas, U.S., and she gave birth to a baby daughter, Bonnie, on 25 March 2011.

On 1 September 2011, Chyi was undergoing cupping therapy when the therapist accidentally spilled alcohol on his body, causing a fire. Chyi suffered non-life-threatening burns to his back, face, and chest. According to a burn expert, he suffered second-degree burn damage to the surface of the skin and the tissue beneath. Though Chyi's voice was not damaged, his engagements for the next two to three months were cancelled to allow him to recuperate.[citation needed]
