…(Born on March 12, 1976 Wuhu, Anhui, China) is a Chinese film actress and pop singer.
In 1999, Zhao entered the music industry and released her first album, Swallow. It included several tunes from the series Princess Pearl. The album was relatively successful and received several awards; critics commented on Zhao's potential in the music industry. In 1999, China's Pop Songs Chart Committee presented Zhao the "Best Potential Award" for her debut album. The same year in Hong Kong, Radio Hong Kong awarded Zhao the "Best Progress Award." Moreover, Radio Hong Kong presented Zhao an "Outstanding Mandarin Song Bronze Award" for her single "There is a Girl" (有一个姑娘). Originally, "There is a Girl" was a theme in Zhao's breakthrough series, Princess Returning Pearl.

Following Zhao's debut in the music industry, she has released several other albums. The same year, Magic of Love was released. In 2001, Zhao released the album The Last Separation, based on her recent breakup with her boyfriend. Zhao's first three albums sold well in China, selling over 3 million copies, but received a lukewarm response from critics. As part of the soundtrack for Romance in the Rain, Zhao performed several songs written by Chiung Yao. In the actual television series, Zhao's character, Lu Yiping, also performed many songs.

After taking a three-year break from singing to focus on her acting work, in 2004 Zhao released the album Piao (飄), meaning "flutter." Zhao recorded this album in hopes of coping with the rumours about her. Fans and critics alike feel Zhao's new album shows a more mature and expressive singing technique. Included in the album were hits such as "Jian Jian" and "Continuous Rainy Sunday." Following the release of Piao, Zhao's music career flourished. At the 12th East Music Awards, Zhao won the Best Stage Performance Award. Furthermore, at the 5th Pepsi Music Chart Awards, Zhao was selected as Mainland's Most Popular Female Singer.

Following the success of Piao, Zhao released another album titled Double (双). This album included the popular hits "One Tiny Part" (微小的部分)and "Shangguan Yan and I" (我和上官燕). It also included "Faxian" (发现; literally "Realize"), based on the theme song of Moment in Peking. The success of Double resulted in Zhao winning "Most Popular Female Artist" at the 13th East Music Awards.

Her music career is highlighted by her wins in the Channel V's 12th Chinese Music Billboard Event in 2006. Zhao won awards for Most Popular Female Artist and Most Popular Music Video for her music video "Shangguan Yan and I." Zhao was also awarded MTV Asia's Favourite Artist from Mainland China.

痛苦之歌
趙薇 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

到后来我才明白了
痛苦之歌

到后来我才明白了
你恨我
我想当时可能就连你都
没察觉到
即使我有太多理由不认同

还是被哀伤给淹没了
恨人的比被恨的人还寂寞
请原谅我离开我告一段落
离开的人比在原地的人还自由
这是我唯一能给你的
这样吧你我永远不再重逢
重新收回你的快乐

即使我有太多理由不认同
还是被哀伤给淹没了
恨人的比被恨的人还寂寞
请原谅我离开我告一段落
离开我
这是我唯一能给你的
这样吧你我永远不再重逢
重新收回你的快乐
到后来我才明白了
你恨我
我想当时可能就连你都

没察觉到
我接受了

Overall Meaning

They are filled with sadness and guilt, realizing that the relationship was drowning in sorrow and that they were unable to see it at the time. The singer also touches upon the idea that it is often those who hate the most that are the loneliest, and that it takes a lot of bravery to walk away from a relationship that is not working out.

It is a bittersweet ending as the singer accepts the reality of the situation and is willing to move on for the sake of both their own and their partner's well-being.

Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and moving on.
