:''For the Hong Kong entrepreneur, please refer to Vincent Fang (entrepreneur).'' Vincent Fang () was born on 26 January 1969 in Hualien, Taiwan. He is a Taiwanese multi-Golden Melody Award nominated lyricist, best known for his collaboration with singer-songwriter Jay Chou. Fang won ''Best Lyricist'' at the 19th Golden Melody Awards for "青花瓷" (Blue and White Porcelain) sung by Jay Chou from ''On the Run''.〔 GIO, Taiwan (19th Golden Melody Awards winners list ) 16 October 2008. Retrieved 2011-06-06〕 In 1997, he sent samples of his lyrics to record companies, hoping to find a new career that complemented his passion for writing. Record company owner Jacky Wu was impressed with his work and hired Fang to work with Chou, who had just started his songwriting career. In 2000, Chou released his first album (titled ''Jay'') and since then produced albums in which Fang contributes the majority of the lyrics. Chou’s fame grew rapidly across Asia, pulling Fang into the limelight as well. Fang's lyrics are noted for covering a wide of issues from family to war, beyond what is normally discussed in love ballads. He is known for using a writing style similar to traditional Chinese poetry, making frequent references to Chinese history and folklore, esp. in Chinese style music (中國風), a fusion genre made popular in the 2000s (decade) by Jay Chou, fusing modern rock and contemporary R&B together with traditional Chinese music. He calls his style of lyrical poetry "Su Yan Rhyme Poetry 素顏韻腳詩", which has become a new poetry form in modern Chinese musical literature. ==Early life== Born in 1969, Vincent Fang grew up in Taiwan and was raised in what he calls a "blue collar family".〔 He is a Hakka with ancestry from Yudu, Jiangxi. In his youth, he gave very little effort in school and received poor grades. After graduating from high school, at the age of 20 he served his mandatory military service in the Republic of China Army. When he was off-duty, he spent his free time reading and watching movies, which triggered an interest in language and words.〔 After completing his military service in 1991, he worked over 20 odd jobs over the following 7 years, including newspaper deliveryman, electronics repairman, factory worker, security alarm serviceman, and truck driver. Despite taking these jobs and having no formal post-secondary training in linguistics, he was determined to shift into a writing career. In 1992, he decided that his dream job would be a movie scriptwriter, which he complemented by taking several relevant night courses. After a year, he was no closer to his goal. He planned an alternate path to enter the film business: establish his stature in the entertainment industry by first entering music field as a lyricist, then transit into script writing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vincent Fang (lyricist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
