　　 His teachers thought he was stupid. Talent spotters(物色新秀者)thought he　 was ugly, but Zhou Jielun, whose English name is Jay Chou, is now one of Asia’s hottest pop stars.

　　 Last week he had the honor of being the first Asian male singer to appear on the cover of Time, a popular magazine in the US. He has won more than 30 entertainment(娱乐)awards over the past two years.

　　 Chou released(发行)his first album "Jay" in November 2000, and with two follow-up albums--- “Fantasy” and “Eight Dimensions”--- his music has come to rule the Asian pop world.

　　 The entertainment industry has called him “a small heavenly king”. But Chou says he is not a king, at least he isn’t before he shoots to stardom. As a boy, he was thought “stupid”. His high school English teacher said young Chou had a learning disability. “He had very few facial expressions. I thought he was dumb.”

　　 Chou did poorly in math, science and English. But his mother noticed the quiet, shy boy was sensitive(敏感的)to music: When he heard western pop music, he seemed to dance. So she took Chou to a piano school at four years old. He practised all the time, concentrating on the keys the way other children focus on ice-cream. At the end of high school, he failed his exams and didn't go to university.

　　 But he liked playing the piano very much. In a show he was seen playing the piano by a major Taiwanese entertainer, Jacky Wu. The 18-year-old Chou became a contract(签约)song writer for Wu’s music studio. There he spent one and a half years writing songs for famed artists　 such as Valen Hsu and Coco Lee.

He proved that he could be more than a song writer. His catchy tunes have mainstreamed (成为主流) rap and R&B (Rhythm & Blues) in the Mandopop world (华语音乐). And his success proves that gifts still matter more than looks and images.
