Wang Jie

Dave Wang Chieh (English: Dave Wang Chieh; October 20, 1962 -), formerly known as Wang Dawei, is a Taiwanese male singer-songwriter, music producer and actor. Together with Qi Qin, Tong Ange, and Zhou Huajian, he was dubbed "Taiwan's Four Heavenly Kings" by fans. He is recognized as the most iconic Chinese singer in the 1980s and 1990s. Its songs have wide influence in Greater China, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea and other places; a large number of songs have also been covered by singers from Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand. The early promotional copy of UFO Records called Wang Jie "yesterday's prodigal son. today's superstar. tomorrow's legend." He made his debut in Taiwan in 1987 with "A Game, a Dream" and became the most anticipated dark horse in the music scene at that time. His subsequent albums also set rare sales records. From their debut in late 1987 to 1991, they sold more than 10 million records in just over three years. Wang Jie has been involved in charity for many years. He once donated millions to the 1991 floods in East China. He has also made many donations to disadvantaged groups and participated in charity activities in various places and the United Nations Children's Charity Foundation. In 1993, he won two major awards: Top Ten Idols and Best Singing Idol sponsored by Minsheng Daily, and accepted the invitation of Mainland China CCTV Spring Festival Gala to sing the song "Go Home". In 1995, the American company Lightyear Entertainment confirmed Wang Jie's singing status in the Chinese-speaking region after conducting a survey on the Asian market, and invited him to perform the theme song "Let Me Be in Your Life" from the United Nations' 50th anniversary album "Earthlings" in Chinese and English duet with Filipino singer Lea Salonga, becoming the only Chinese-American singer to participate. Songs such as "Sad 1999", "Heart Addiction", and "Unromantic Crime" released in Hong Kong after 1999 became popular again in the Chinese music scene. Wang Jie was hidden by the company due to various reasons during the later stages of his contract with Emperor. After her contract with the Emperor expired in 2009, she held concert tours around the world and received enthusiastic support from new and old fans. He is the first artist to hold a four-sided solo concert at Beijing Wukesong Stadium. Sina Entertainment's column wrote, "In the 1980s and 1990s, Wang Jie was really a first-line superstar comparable to Taiwan's Qi Qin and Hong Kong's four kings. His golden songs, together with the disappeared UFO records, became a symbol of Taiwan's pop music era... Wang Jie's life was really as vicissitudes of life as he sang in his songs." On May 17, 2014, a concert of 50,000 people was held at the Beijing Workers' Stadium. Fifty thousand people sang karaoke together, setting off several climaxes and demonstrating the charm and influence of "Ji Shi" that spans the ages.
