him as the "Iron Lung Prince" (鐵肺王子) while noting because of his age and experience, that he was a "late bloomer" (大器晚成) heralding a "new age" of music in Taiwan as an "elderly new guy" (高龄新人). Since its debut, "我相信" has been one of the most demanded songs requested on networks, as well as a "大學生必頂必唱的勵志歌曲" song favored by college students to sing for inspiration, used in elections, and was chosen to be the ending theme song for the 2009 Taiwanese drama, Recruit's Diary. Yang even performed the song on March 14, 2010, as the opening song to the exhibition game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Taiwanese Professional Baseball League All-Stars in Kaohsiung. The song has not only been extremely popular in Taiwan, but also in Mainland China, though nearly three to four years later after its initial release. It was featured in the August 2008 Beijing Olympics, playing during competitions held in the Bird's Nest stadium and the Water Cube. Most notably in Mainland China, Yang was crowned as the "80s Youth God" (80後青年之神). Mid career With his hit single "我相信" taking over the airwaves and receiving critical acclaim from critics and college students, Yang finally achieved his long-awaited dream, officially debuting with "我相信" and releasing his debut album, 2 AM After Midnight (午夜兩點半的我), on June 2, 2006, at the age of 35. The album debuted at number five on the Taiwanese G-Music chart's 21st week. The album would stay on the chart's top 20 for 17 weeks, before bowing out on the 38th week. Yang began competing in singing shows like 藝能歌喉戰 and making rounds in the Taiwanese talk show circuits, demonstrating the range of his singing abilities and his outstanding command of employing vibrato while singing high notes by often using Shin Band's "死了都要愛" or Chang Yu-Sheng's "我的未來不是夢"and raising them six keys, which led to Chang Fei's endorsement of Yang as the "Iron Lung Prince" (鐵肺王子) and for Bao Xiaosong (包小松) and Bao Xiaobo (包小柏) to further claim he was "Music's 101" (音樂界的101). When asked if he feels any resentment and indignation at being "discovered" by the public and the music industry at the age of 35, when he had been performing for ten or more years, he says when he was younger he did, but now, he feels many of the past trials he endured have shaped him to become appreciative of the opportunities
