Date with Qi Qin 1


Qi Qin was a juvenile delinquent as a boy. After spending three years in juvenile detention center, music became his only inner support. Following the release of his first album 'The Wolf', Qi Qin's cool expression, his long hair, and his black clothing attracted the attention of the public. Although living among the masses, the image of the lone wolf was always in his heart.

<The Wolf> was talking something when I was young. When I was 17 years old, I was caught, I mean arrested by the policemen. At that time, I was like a gangster, and always doing things wrong. I always got drunk and kicked the doors of the others. When I got older, and looking back, I created <The Wolf>. It was about a young man the first time to face the windowed life. <The Wolf> was talking something about myself.

The song's English name was<Once In The Winter Time>. When we were young, we always have farewell, always falling apart with darling. We don’t like it, but we have to accept it. So this song is talking something about it.

<Windflowers>is a song that I cooperated with my sister together. Windflowers is a misty, it is a woman or someone you love. You can go there them, but you can't having them. It is just like an Illusion, or imagination in your mind. I think it also means something else, not only Windflowers.

Her name is Qi Yu. She is Qi Qin's elder sister. 'Sister' is an ordinary form of address, but it has great meaning. It includes care, help, support and love. Throughout Qi Qin's musical career, Qi Yu has always guided his direction.

I think I got a lot of help from my elder sister. In my bad situation, she sent me a guitar as a gift. At that time, the guitar, the music was like a floating wood on the sea. That's the only thing I can catch. It also showed me the direction of my life. I always feel so thankful to my elder sister.

Without his elder sister, Qi Qin doesn't know whether he could have had a musical career, but he is sure his life would have been much harder. His sister gave him kindness and tenderness. Qin Qin says he may not be a wolf, but his elder sister is his angel.

When I was in the jail, we need someone to see us. At that time, my sister was in Taiwan University. She was about 22 years old. Every Saturday, every Sunday, she always came to see me. She had no time to meet boys, to watch movies, have no time to have entertainment. I think she sacrificed a lot for her kid brother in her golden ages.

When I was a kid, about 10 years old, I remembered there was a record player in my home, a very old one. My elder brother always used it to play English songs. Such as The Beatles,Brothers-4. That was my first time to contact English songs.

Qi Qin began his formal studies of English in middle school. In school he mostly studied some vocabularies and grammar. After leaving the juvenile detention center, Qi Qin stayed at home for a year. At that time, his father made him get up early in the morning, and listen to the English radio broadcasts. He kept this up for one or two years, and his English improved a great deal during this time.

Every morning, I got up at 5 o'clock. I listened to the English radio, learning some new words and grammars. That time was so boring for me. Somebody told me you should have a walkman when you are sleeping. Then you can force yourself to learn English. Whatever, you just try to listen to those vocabularies and dialogue, try to understand them.

Many years ago, when I began to sing songs, they were some English songs. At that time, I was a teenager. I always sang songs in some restaurants. The Eagles, I like them so much. Such as Desperado,Hotel California. In that time, those songs are so great.
