Jay Chou is celebrating his 46th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-musician Jay Chou (Qing Hua Ci, Juhua Tai, Qi Li Xiang, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 46th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Chou, a cultural icon

Born in Linkou on January 18, 1979, Jay Chou's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Taiwanese history. Chou's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jay hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jay Chou as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 46.

Happy Birthday, Jay, you're the best!
