zhang yu, the king of taiwanese pop music, has been in the music industry for nearly 30 years and is well-known for his classic love songs such as "good intentions" and "it's all the moon's fault". this "miserable prince" suddenly announced an indefinite suspension of work in 2018, shocking the music industry and many fans. six years have passed, and zhang yu has rarely appeared in public. however, recently, a picture of him with a head full of white hair on the streets of taipei was exposed, showing the true state of his semi-retired life.

in june 2018, zhang yu announced an indefinite suspension of work through social media without any warning, and this decision immediately sparked widespread discussion. zhang yu later explained the reasons in detail in an exclusive interview with li siduan. he admitted that due to years of accumulated work pressure, he gradually lost his sense of security, so he continued to overdraw his physical strength and devote himself to work, resulting in physical and mental exhaustion. during this period, he also neglected his family. in addition, as the core of a singer, his throat also had problems, which seriously affected his singing state.

although zhang yu's decision disappointed his fans, it was a form of self-redemption for him. after stopping work, his family relationships gradually recovered and the relationship between him and his wife improved. at the same time, this period of time also provided him with an opportunity to breathe and adjust, gradually coming out of a long period of high-pressure life.

in the six years since he stopped working, zhang yu has lived a secluded life away from the entertainment industry. recently, paparazzi photographed him on the streets of taipei. although his hair has turned gray, his figure is still in good shape and his complexion is rosy. in the exposed photos, zhang yu is carrying a golf bag embroidered with his real name, waiting for a car to pick him up to play golf, looking relaxed and contented.

although zhang yu has been away from the music scene for six years, his fans still miss the classics he once brought. songs such as "good intentions", "it's all the moon's fault" and "be early" are still widely sung in the chinese music scene. as the "prince of misery", zhang yu has won the love of countless people with his unique voice and emotional interpretation style. now, fans are looking forward to him standing on the stage again one day and singing those melodies that once touched people's hearts.
