How has Jay changed your life?

To be honest...I have yet no clue if a topic like this has been posted considering there is a mass of posts on the forum...but I'd like to share how Jay changed my life.

Many people know me as an extremely depressed person...I've gone around when I first came here as a depressed girl wanting to get attention that I had never ever received in real life....

At home I had always been the only girl ...my younger brother got my parents affection ....I got the grades and I did all the chores in the house...my two brothers never help me out but they never once praised me but instead yell at me for being lazy and inconsiderate...they never once ask me if I was doing well or gave concern to me when i was sad or depressed...

In school I had friends but what good was it when they don't talk to me and ask me what's wrong with me...but instead they make fun of me and they think that my depression is a part of a joke...

to be honest...i have thought about killing myself numbers of times my heart wanted death but my body didn't want it ... one time i had a knife in my hand making myself slit my wrist...but i didn't do it...i was home alone and when i think about it now...it hurts...my parents never knew my brothers didn't care my friends never asked...

But when I first listened to my first Jay song which was Shi Jie Mo Ri....of course I don't know Chinese I had to look up the beautiful translation...oh god but before I had looked up the translation I could feel the song...I didn't know it was about the end of the world I cried....when I heard the song for the first time...

I didn't know whether I was crazy or it was such a moving song which attracted me to more of Jay's songs....

but to answer the question...How has Jay changed you....I answer:

He changed my whole soul. He made me see that life goes on even if friends (whom you consider friends) aren't there for you and to make you ot of depression...and that my family will always be there even if they don't understand the things you're going through - He made me realize that even if I don't have the friends I want...I can always put on his songs and cry my heart out knowing that I'll always have something to wait for....

now I try talkin to my counselor at least once a week and he advised me to talk to my family and friends for help...I thank Jay so much...

thanks for reading whoa...i'm not sure if this post should be under Jay Discussion or like the Social Lounge or what?

thanks...

Jay has changed my life in many ways, but I guess the one that prevails is that he's opened my eyes to my old culture, one that I haven't really appreciated much lately.

I am half Chinese myself, but my parents grew up in Vietnam. I've grown up with a huge emphasis on Vietnamese culture, if only because that's the language all my relatives speak. My mother was always very proud of her Chinese heritage, but I couldn't really understand why.

I used to think, what's so special about China? What's so important about Taiwan?

Then, when I began listening to Jay, I began to see that there was this: this music. This was a small portion of what made my other culture so important but it really caught my attention. I thought, "Well, if there is an artist like this in Asia, then the country must not be so typical, as I've thought".

I was very amazed at how proud Jay was of his country, his culture. I admired that he loved his country so much. So, I thought to myself, why not learn more about my other half? The part of me I've forgotten since I was a little child? There must be something to it for an artist like Jay to love it so much.

Now, I have a desire to relearn my old language, visit the cities that my grandfather remembers with fondness, and learn more about what makes my mom so proud.

So, I owe Jay Chou for helping me discover part of myself.

I guess, he's also changed my life because now, I have a lot of respect for Chinese music. I now see what a beautiful language Mandarin is, and I love it all the more.

(Hope that this isn't an old topic, though given the size of jay-chou.net, it probably is. :whistle: )

Wow I'm glad Jay could be a big help to both of you.

Tearz your story really touched me. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that but it's great that you now have something that comforts you. And I hope in the future you will find a permanent stable thing in your life so you will never feel unloved or the want to kill yourself.

After reading your entry, myxlastxtearz, I'm very glad that you discovered Jay. He really has been a wonderful influence in your life.

I wish you continued luck in your life and lots of happiness myxlastxtearz. Also I hope that you find something or someone who can give you all the attention and love you deserve.

:)

05-02-2003, 02:45 AM

i can't say that i can relate to your story xmyxlastxtearzx, but i do know what it's like to be touched in some way by Jay.
He really is a positive influence in my life, as well as in the lives of so many people out there.
Jay was the one who got me into the whole Chinese culture that i tried to block out for the longest time. Because of him i started to actually learn the language and have been returning to China every so often.
I'm glad that someone like Jay Chou is there for people to draw inspiration from.
P.S. i'm very proud of the fact that i am sixteen yrs old, and am the oldest person in my Chinese class, right now i'm at the beginners level.
Woo Hoo! lol

05-02-2003, 02:59 AM

jay's speaking the absolute truth when he said that music is like the air we breath, and the water we drink

water has the ability to heal and revive, and drown to death...air is what keeps us alive...music can heal, music can kill...music can change emotions and now we know that music can save lives too

i'm glad that jay's helped you...i'm sure he'd be glad too if he knew

i'm sorry for what you had to go through...really...through life you meet a lot of obstacles...but what's important is that you don't give up...always try to find something to boost yourself over that barrier...because there are many more in the way you'll have to get through...time is precious

in this case...music is your boost...its mine too

awhile ago i was tryin to be optimistic....and made up some quote but as soon i read ur beautiful WORDS lol i forgot mines ^^ hehe okay i'm makin a fool of myself....

wenhope...its great that you rediscovered ur chiense heritage and learn the language me however envy it b/c i want to learn chinese and be chinese but i am veri proud also to be vietnamese...i remember me being a vietnamese dork who always went up to my family to ask the history of vietnam...wow i can't believe you guys didn't grab onto what was there when you had it...but at least you grab onto it before it flew away in time ...whoa...okay

thx guyz yet again for reading my little story...

whoops! it's all us Silence people in here for now.

tearz , gracie, the next time you feel low, you've GOT to remember that members in here are your friends, ok? just so glad that you're alright now.

before being obsessed with Jay, i hated - yes, hated, the chinese language. my mom wanted us to be tutored in the language but my brother and i vetoed her idea. i couldn't stand listening to anything in mandarin, be it someone reading the news , someone conversing or its music.

after a while, i was ok with the music bcos the industry was influenced with R&B. and then finally, seeing jay sing Black Humor did it for me. i now watch Entertainment News in mandarin, my car player is tuned to the chinese station and i even try to speak it with colleagues. i think later i'm gonna fo get myself a 'Teach Yourself Mandarin' VCD or casette. going back to my heritage, you know.

So, thanks Jay, for making me realise that I AM chinese and I SHOULD KNOW chinese, not shun it.

lol, yes ashely, us silence alliance, remember our motto? or was that the old one? "to serve and protect the silent and depressed"... :D anyhow...yes, i'm glad that Jay has altered your life, and brought you to the light within your pit of darkness.

Jo, that's right, Music is an international language, music itself does not really require words, it can be a song without any words, it puts human feelings into a tune, a tune that can contain happiness or sorrows. Music touches everyone deeply, and it has changed many lives i'm sure. Jay has been a great support to me, he may not acknowledge my existance, but him alone has given me courage to do many things, his lyrics touch me, his music touches me,

and you know what? i know that Jay will be truly happy, knowing that his music has served such a great purpose and importance in your life, and our lives.

i don't think jay's really saved my life yet, but he did open the door of asian music to me and because of him, i'm learning a dialect that can probably one day save my life- by helping me get a better job and a brighter future.

Hey to all:

Think Jay does have a lot of influence on his set of dedicated fans. Look at those pple who queued up a few days in advance to purchase his concert tix..

He is really inspirational w his music as well. Songs like Long Quan n Shuang Jie Kun are so inspirational. Also makes u feel really proud to be an asian. His slow ballads carries so much meaning that it makes u think alot bout going ons around us.

Think why Jay is so inspirational w his music is because he composes his own stuff n he is a real music lover as well.. Of course his introvert traits also plays a part as it means he is more expressive through his music..

xmyxlastxtearzx

05-02-2003, 01:26 PM

i know he has more dedicated fans out there than those who queued up that line for the tickets b/c i would be one...i really have no chance to see his concert but you know what this forum changed how i feel about it...even if ur not there at that concert you still could be apart of it!

i reallly am proud to be asian...OO i knew this topic should've been posted under Jay discussion~ but i was scared

you guys really have a way with words and
ashley and dream thx guys for letting me share my burden with you guys...you guys/gals are great friends

sugarcookie - ninjabeat and crystaltears - thx guys for reading ...okay i dunno why i'm doing this..i'm currently bored and have nuttin to do except wait for the bus....

I am glad that you didn't kill yourself..if not..life after dead is even worst than now. I am a buddist.
and from what I read from the books..commit suiside is the worst way of dying...because ur parent gave birth and this means gave u a life but you chose to die..and that consider very bad.

Jay saved me too!..I hope you don't mind if I share it here..
when I was 15..unluckily I got this serious dengue fever. During that time..the word appeared in my mind is death. I heard a lot of cases when ppl die of dengue fever,furthermore there is no certain medicine to cure this disease.
I was totally drepressed in the hospital and my body is aching like hell. Luckily my aunt brought me Jay's Cd and I kept listening to his songs for the whole week in the hospital. I felt energetic and tend to forget every sad and pain that I am suffering at that moment. Esp 'Shuang Jie Gun"
That's song is so cooll...

I am glad that Jay Chou saved ur life..if not..I won't be reading ur story now.:D
Take care girl..:)

xmyxlastxtearzx I actually know how you felt in the past when I was reading your story.It actually has happened to me for years already,but it finally has stopped recently after a joke they were playing on me about SARS.I was a depressed girl too,my friends always made fun of me infront of many people and rumors will go on at school about me.I've cried before,but never infront of anyone because I didn't want anyone to think I was such a baby.I wanted to let everyone to know that I was strong and kind,but it wasn't a easy thing to do when you always had to keep it inside.Jay probably didn't save my life,but made me realize many things in life.His songs inspired me to do things and make me into a better person.Good thing you didn't decide to kill yourself."Happiness is mercy,sadness is memory,so treasure what you have now."

xmyxlastxtearzx, I'm glad you thought better of killing yourself.
And I'm glad Jay opened up this path for you to reflect on yourself too.

Depression isn't something to be trifled with, and it's good that you talk to a couselor. Don't despair of life and it's goodness. You'll realise alot of things are just in the mind, will yourself to think positively, and I'm sure you'll derive joy in just being yourself, however dreary the world seems.

Cheer up, and I wish you happiness in your endeavours!

xmyxlastxtearzx - I'm glad that Jay has helped you in such a way...he has really helped me too...like you, I am very depressed...and I still am... :oops:

When I was younger, in elementary school, I had a counselor that I could talk to, and during that time, I felt like I was depressed anymore. But then I had to move on the middle school, and I wasn't able to see that counselor anymore... :( I had some friends, but I knew they were drifting away from me...and the counselor I had for middle school...I didn't really like...because he is scary...(I don't think he really knows how to deal with us). :crazy:

I started turning to music...and when I found out about Jay's music, it really turned things around for me...even though I know that I have a family around me, I feel like sometimes they don't care about me at all...but I know that I care so much about them...I have thought about killing myself many times before...I still think about it. But now that I have Jay's music to listen to, it gives me something to look forward to, something to live on for. As a person, I don't know if I will ever be any good to my family...I only want to be a good person, but it seems like I only make mistakes, and my mother always gets angry at me...

Jay's music is like something to ease my heart...maybe something like to make me feel loved. :unsure: I'm unsure how to explain it. But it eases the pain that I feel in my heart. His music goes directly to my soul.

He also inspired me to look at my culture in a different way. When I was younger, I despised learning Chinese. Now, I realize how late I am...I should've started learning earlier. I started to learn Chinese by taking Chinese school on Saturday mornings since September 2002, and now I can understand a lot more Mandarin and even read a bit of Chinese...Jay makes me proud to be Chinese.

Jay has helped me a great deal...more than I can imagine...hehe, I'm so thankful for Jay. :)

05-03-2003, 01:36 PM

i'm also so glad that you, xmyxlastxtearzx, didn't harm yourself, and anyone else here who was in a similar situation. Jay didn't help me in that way, but like many others he is the one who motivated me to try and reconnect with my chinese heritage. i'm hoping to learn chinese next year in uni, and know much more about the whole chinese culture, instead of just what little of it i live and see in the western portrayal of it

05-03-2003, 04:05 PM

xmyxlastxtearzx: i...i really don't know what to say...i'm just speechless after reading your story - :( its good to hear that you are a lil better now and that jay has inspired and changed your life. i'm sure he would be so touched if he knew what effect his music has had on ppl.

life can be a complete bitch at times and it seems that anything and everything that can go wrong...does and its times when that when you just feel like there's no point in going on...i'm sure we've all experienced it at some point in our lives...i guess the only thing you can do is stay strong and take one day as it comes.

i find jay's music so therapeutic and like others, it has definitely changed my outlook on life...

xmyxlastxtearzx: Glad that U are getting along better now. Please don't ever think of ending your own life. I mean U must be stronger and when u become an adult, u must live a much better life than now to prove to them that even with such terrible family members and friends, you can still get along fine.

God will surely have better things for u ahead! Be positive always!

gracecherry

05-04-2003, 08:46 AM

ohhh......i m so touched by all these facts about u guys.......coz i also feel that jay has definitely affected me or changed somehow in a way or another. i am the kind of person who thinks that western music is the best, i kept thinking that chinese music is never going to surpass the western , thus i never gave it a chance at all. but till one time.....i have no idea how and why.....i just got sick to listening to all those modern western music.......its like an all of a sudden thing.....i was on the radio.....and i just got disgusted to one of the song that was being aired, its like rubbish, sorrry to be rude......but i dont remember what song was that......its just one of those meaningless songs......so i met up with a friend and she was telling me about this new guy ,JAY.......and so.....slowly as i listen to his songs........i really cant help it...but......i think that he is such a great person. rite now.......its JAY'S music and songs that accompanies me trough the day, coz my mid term exam is soon to come and ive got to forced myself to study.....and when u are alone in your room........u will feel sort of a sad feeling of loneliness......so its jay's voice that is there all the time........he really.....did change my perceptions on lots of matters........these days i become interested in any news......that is somehow related to him......and i started to support originals because there is someone like him.........

blue_ice

05-04-2003, 09:07 AM

hMmm...it was JAY that inspired me to listen more to chinese music...all along i listened more to eng songs...sort of....but now...i seldom listen to them...instead i listen more to chinese songs now...jay really has this strength of inspiring people in a positive manner... :)

xmyxlastxtearzx

05-05-2003, 12:30 AM

wow....i never really thought you guys would be interested in my story...i mean...it's all tru...and i posted it because i wanted people to know...if i tell my friends -- they'll just laugh at me and think i'm wacko...i wish somehow at least one of you could go to schoool with me and share the burden and the horror i have to face at school alone...i feel as if people don't understand me...

as i'm healing and feeling better by the second with all these replies...i feel really lucky to have known Jay and this wonderful website...i feel really thankful...

thx guys

Mike

05-05-2003, 02:59 AM

wow

Jay hasn't really changed my life, jsut altered my priorities....

1. Jay
2. Jay
3. Jay

But it has also made me more interested in Chinese culture and to learn mroe chinese, mainly to be able to read articles on Jay. Also he has made me appreciate music more and i have a deeper passion for playing music on my guitar and piano.

fantasiekisz

05-05-2003, 04:42 AM

all of jay's songs seem to relate to my life..and it's scary because he sei yo mou, an jing, kai bu liao kou and like all his sad songs have related to my life..and when i think about my friends who've broken up..it reminds me of jay's and his heart felt songs..i go and listen to jay when i'm depressed and sad or when i'm happy..it's music for the soul, mind, and body..it makes me happy

xmyxlastxtearzx

05-05-2003, 10:09 PM

doesn't life surprise you sometimes?

you go and find an idol to idolize and know right away that ..that idol has gone through the same pain and it feels great to listen to a song you can relate to

you know how jay's all shy? but in his videos like Ye Ye Pao De Cha and that The Orcs song...he seems so outgoing and not quiet...he seems relax

i think we should all make a promise to each other, that if any of us are ever lucky enough to meet jay for more than 30 seconds, we'll pass on to him the stories of how his music has inspired so many ppl, and have kept people going even at their weakest times...i think he deserves to know how the beauty he's created has touched peoples lives...

Agreed! I wonder if we could all write a nice long letter to him, thanking him for making such inspirational music? Certainly, quite a few people here HAVE met Jay before... I think. It might take a long time for him to hear everything we have to thank him for though...

(Maybe I could get my friend to write a letter and send it to Jay... Hm...)

Like an universal language, music is understood by people anywhere in the world and have existed for a long time. In my case, i turn to music everytime i face difficulties in life. Music can make you sadder [some songs make me feel like dying] or make you a happier person.

Jay's music is different from the rest and his passion for music inspires me to do better in my life. I really got depressed many times and felt like life wasn't worth living anymore. Jay does help me recover from all these negative thoughts and make me a better person.

:love: Jay, thanks for your music!
and to the folks at Jay-Chou.net: thanks for everything!!!

xmyxlastxtearzx

05-07-2003, 01:15 AM

i agree with pennylane and linny - i think that if we hapen to meet jay one day we'll share all the stories and how he helped shape our lives

rojak - it's true some music make us sadder and ever happy but it's also true that jay's different music inspires everyone in life to do better

if only i can fly to where he is right now...fall on my kness and cry my heart out and in english tell him how much he means to us....although he won't be able to understand what i'll be tryin to say :(

-dream-

05-07-2003, 02:02 AM

it sounds like a great idea, it'd be really nice if we can all tell him about what he has done to our lives...sure, i mean, our lives can't JUST contain him, he is a portion only, but he means a lot, and has helped some of us through the hardest times, i know that , if i was him, it would make feel really happy...that my music is actually making a difference in people's lives.

evenstar_sc

05-14-2003, 06:24 AM

Music is my life. Without it I would be....I don't want to think about it. Listening to Jay, I have a greater appreciation of Chinese contemporary music whereas before, I just listened and never appreciated. His music has created a path for me to learn more about my Chinese culture. It's a small start but at least it is a start.

Ok...Im admit I'm a pretty depressed person myself. And I'm constantly just putting myself down, saying I'm not good...about the academic issue mostly and other things... I always think I'm not good enough. All the time and basically, i am my own worst enemy. I constantly beat myself up over the littlest things.

i've never had asian role models to whom I look up to. And Jay is the first. because of his dedication and his drive to succed in his music. Something he is so passionate about. It made me realise that I was really fortunate to have such a drive and an interest. Even if it doesnt show on a piece of paper. Hmm...here's my two cents...

Hyde

08-08-2003, 07:24 PM

maybe we should make a copy for everyone to keep with them at all times.
cus we don't know when we'll meet him (lol. hopefully. imagine a surprise meeting w/ jay at the supermarket). so we can't exactly be like, hold the oranges man. wait while i come back w/ a letter that a group of ur most dedicated fans wrote to u.

or something........

he's changed my life. belive me.

08-08-2003, 07:51 PM

Well Jay has changed the music part of my life alot. I use to listen to the radio everyday, but, once i started listening to Jay chou, i never listen to the radio again. Its been like 5 or 6 months since i have listened to the radio.

Recently thanks to you translations, i've had a new perspective on life. Yeah... its changed everything for me.

angel_numberone

08-08-2003, 10:15 PM

good that u didnt commit suicide, xmyxlastxtearzx. now u know Jay's music can help you. when you feel bad, just turn his music on then you will feel better.

for me, Jay is the one who bring me to appreciate chinese songs. before listening to Jay, i never like chinese songs. I think it's kinda boring. so, i prefer the western music. but after i listened to his songs, the attitude's changed. his music is really good. I start to like chinese songs and try to learn chinese language.

same as Smonkkey, i dont listen to the radio for a while because in my country(thailand) the radio stations do not play chinese songs except F4.

i usually dont buy the cds because i always listen to radio. even if sometimes i buy it, it's the pirated one. only few singers i will buy the original cds. Jay is also one of course one of these few.

08-09-2003, 09:40 PM

tearz..........
so sorry to hear bout that......
i know how feel coz i've gone thru those phases too
but am happy you're better now. :)

jay didn't really changed my life
but he changed my perception on chinese who dun know english language ( i know it sounds weird )....but seeing him who dun know english and once he quoted "he dun bother to learn english", see how he influenced people now.........and i dun mean u dun need too learn english.......whatever language baarrier is that.......
i used to have a bunch of friends who looks down on those people who dun english coz they think they are not educated enough......... :blush:

and music is like my LIFE, i dun know what i'll do without music
he opens my eyes to asian style of music and he makes chinese culture an interetin and fun thing for me to learn.....
well, at least that's for me..............

jay has changed a lot of pple's lives i think...even mine included..im a happy person usually..but a happy person also has sad times...for example..one of the saddest times of my life was breaking up wid my ex..i've cried for weeks after weeks..and those weeks i've been not eating and can't fall asleep..the only way for me to carry on with my daily routines was jay..and his voice...his cd has been in my cd player for the whole entire 2 months....cuz i needed comfort..and my friends were there for me..but some things i thought was better if i kept it to myself...so i spent those 2 months "with" jay....and he helped me got out of my depression....hes meant a lot to me

when i surf this web site i thought i'll just see some banalities about a pop star and go on to the next website but i am hooked to this web site . there's so much to learn - i read about indepth reviews about music ( ok - if it's only about jay's ) ; funny exchanges between members ; heated debates about music and personalities ; heplful translations of articles and songs for non-mandarin literate fans and now this post about how jay's music saves lives ! wow. i also discover that jay's fans are intelligent people with heart . tearz , shadowfei - i am glad you can find solace from music -esp's jay's . even though you feel there's no one who can listen to your problem - maybe just to share your thoughts like an understanding friend but remember this is only a temporary situation - one day you will meet a good friend . no matter how alone you feel now- never give up . being an ordinary person is not a crime . even if you are academically medicore or done anything outstanding , it's alright. just go about doing your best with a kind heart and god will surely love you . our family members are also ordinary people - be udnerstanding of their weakness - no need to have high expectations of them - just love them .
for members who need to talk with someone understanding , you can check out for your local good samaritans telephones and call them. at a critical moment of depression , such people helped saved lives .
lastly want to say " thumbs up" to all jay's fans - you are very supportive and fun people.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Ok. Hopefully i'm calm enough (again)... ^_^ hehehe..
Two hours ago..
I've been freaking out over my assignment and all (computer science. Yak! :oops: That resulted me in being --> :crazy: ),
and when i felt i should get to see what this forum can do to cheer me up (ok, it's really about JAY), whala! Reading all the lyrics, personal mesages, interviews, has not only calmed my 'freaking-out' mood, but has made me smile. :)

And let's just say, that he sort of gave me hope that there's still actually a nice guy around who still exists in Earth :) (What?... :laughing: He...he...he... Is a GOOD thing right? :angel: )

I wonder if i could meet a guy who is similar to Jay's personality? Coz' i'm really liking it :) (not bad for a girl who's starting to learn more of who Jay really is too...)

--------------------------------------------------------------

OMG!!!! 0.0!
I just realised that it was Jay's songs that helped me through my heart-break experience! :crazy: I can't believe (*slaps her forehead* :oops: ) that i'm forgetting more and more of what happened that had Jay involved (well... no, not really huh?).
When i first started listening to Jay, i didn't know alot of mandarin & i didn't have any pinyin lyrics as well, but the 'An Jing' (Silence) song really touched my heart for some unknown reason. And after finding out the meaning of that song, i'm really quite moved as that it makes me feel that way as well. So Jay releasing his musical talent and emotions into songs like 'An Jing' and 'Kai Bu Lai Kou' (Cannot Speak), did really save me coz' it made me feel that i wasn't alone and that there are others (eg: Jay?) who has experienced the same thing as well. :blush: :cry: :happy: What do u think?... Yeah i know. Too much writing here can be hazardous to the forum. Ok I'll stop here. :laughing:

jay?yah~he's changed my life. i have a new aspect of music. since i grow up in a diff. kinda places, and ppl around me are more white-washed, i dun get much of other cultures, so the music is all english. im tired of english music! so many of the songs are shyte! asian pop sounds pretty good now(becuz jay changed my music life too)soon im gonna go back to school, and a new school something called "secondary school". its gonna be tough on the first day of gr8...i have a big mouth, but now i hope i can zip it half way, since jay taught me to shut up sometimes. and i think that i have diff. tastes of things now. for eg, i used to go with the new trends, and soemtimes i didnt really like, but now i trend for myself. RETRO~~thanks Jay! there's no one in this world that I can believe will be more talented than you! :wink2: :)
