I will never hear Zhang Bichen's live version of "Annual Rings" again. 👀 I asked GORK and deepSeek and they both told me that -In the Chinese music scene, songwriters singing their own works ≠ original singers, and the original singer generally refers to the first singer to officially release the work. Zhang Bichen released the version before Wang Sulong, so Wang is the creator's second interpretation. The reason why there has been so much noise online in the past few days is nothing more than the ambiguity of the concepts of original singers and original creations. As for other things, whether the private lives of celebrities are true or false is another matter. It's just a pity for the song "Annual Rings". Imagine if the song was directly uploaded to the chain when it was released. Skip the middleman, and the contract automatically distributes the income to the account. For issues such as copyright ownership, you can tell at a glance who is the original singer and who is the cover singer. There will be no controversy about "double original singers".
