In 1981, the song was covered and re-lyriced by Taiwanese singer Frankie Kao (高凌風, Gāo Língfēng) as "A Fire in Winter" (冬天裡的一把火, Dōngtiānli de Yì Bǎ Huŏ), which was later covered, with much more success, by Fei Xiang (費翔, Fèi Xiáng). Having had some success prior, he reached superstar status almost overnight when in 1987, he performed this song in CCTV's new year gala. The song became an instant hit in Mainland China.
