Life of the characters

In 1979, he came out and took the stage name "Shen Yan" from the idiom "sinking fish and falling geese", which belongs to Gelin company and is also the basic singer of China TV station. Shen Yan's road is quiet and dreamy. At the end of 1979, his first album "treading waves" was released, and the release of the film "I come here after treading waves" (Shen Yan also has a guest performance in this film) attracted attention. Treading waves took the top of the charts for several weeks and spread to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in a short time.

In 1980, with the promotion of "I come on the waves", I went to Hong Kong to participate in the "Youth Symphony night" and performed together with Zhong Zhentao for the first time, which attracted Hong Kong fans to see the style. Shen Yan also swept Taiwan and Hong Kong in a short time, and signed a contract with Hong Kong Polaroid. In August 1980, the second album "here" was released in Gelin.

In 1981, he left Gelin company and moved to the first comprehensive company. In July 1981, a song composed by Sun Yi called "a string of hearts", together with the movie "a string of hearts skipping", was popular in the streets of Taiwan at that time, which made Shen Yan reach the peak of the singing world. She has starred in a number of love and art films, and has also performed in the films "a string of hearts jumping" and "pretty as butterflies flying", as well as in the eight o'clock series of China television company.

In 1982, he hosted the variety show "wild geese in the woods" for the first time, and Cucurbita acted as the actor of the short drama.

In 1986, Shen Yan released her last album, four seasons, and left the singing world. After marriage, he left the film and immigrated to the United States. He married his boyfriend locally, ran a florist in New York and had two sons.

Shen Yan took a dreamlike route and sang lyric songs with a little folk style. The appearance is fresh and beautiful, the singing is sweet and meticulous, and the personality is slightly shy and reserved, which has become Shen Yan's trademark impression. The sound "pure" is Shen Yan's characteristic, plus the style of folk songs, with her appearance, "people and songs in one" sense of appropriateness to give full play to Shen Yan's characteristics. Shen Yan has been in Gelin for less than three years, and only released two albums. Her career in pop music has only lasted for five or six years, but she has left endless memories for the majority of fans.
