Serious Snow
2006 single by Joker Xue
"Serious Snow" (Chinese: 认真的雪; pinyin: Rènzhēndexuě) is a song by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue. It was released on June 9, 2006, as part of his debut album Jacky (2006) and then included on his compilation album Unfinished Songs (2009) under Shang Teng; both have been acquired by Xue's own label Chaoshi Music. The song was written and composed by Xue.
Xue gained widespread attention due to "Serious Snow". It is credited as establishing the "Xue Style Love Songs", for which he is well-known.
"Serious Snow" performed well on charts and was one of the highest downloaded ringtones of the year. It is a staple in the setlist for Xue's three concert tours: I Think I've Seen You Somewhere Tour (2017), Skyscraper World Tour (2018-2019), and Extraterrestrial World Tour (2021-2025).
Background
"Serious Snow" was inspired by Xue's first heartbreak. As Xue was writing the song, he sought feedback from producers multiple times but was always told to "do it boldly", a response that frustrated Xue until the album was completed and he understood the freedom he was given to create the music he wants.
Xue wrote the song after his girlfriend ended their relationship and it was snowing at the time when it hadn't snowed in Shanghai for many years, so the inspiration struck.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Serious Snow” as 2006 single by Joker Xue. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q134488449. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2009, 2017 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
