His elder brother Chang Fei (張菲) is also a singer and a television personality.Fei’s career began in 1973, and he began to build a large fan base along with his brother. He performed several theme songs for television shows, some of which were more successful than the shows themselves. He has sung numerous hits such as “Yi Jian Mei” (A Trim of Plum Blossoms), “Ode to the Republic of China”, and “Good Night Song” (晚安曲; Wǎn’ān Qǔ), which was composed by the Taiwanese songwriter Liu Chia-chang.

This song was chosen by China Television to end each day’s broadcast in 1979. It is dubbed as “打烊歌” (Closing Shop Song) which is played when shops and department stores are about to close for the day. In 1996 at the 7th Golden Melody Awards, his album Good Night Song (晚安曲) won Best Mandarin Album[1] and he was nominated for Best Mandarin Male Singer.
