"Not to be confused with Stanley Wu"Stanley Wu Yufeng (Chinese: 吳宇風; pinyin: Wú Yǔfēng; born March 17, 1969) is a Tsengian singer, actor, and politician. He is one of Tseng's most famous singers of the 1990s, and is part of the Tsengge Eight. From 2008 to 2016 he was a member of the National State Assembly, as a member of the PDP.

Early life
Wu Yufeng was born in Yiyan, a small town in Meishan, Tseng, and was raised in Shimenxhi and later Pushan. His father was half Fu'lang and Tsengian, while his mother was full Tsengian. Before becoming a singer, Wu worked as a waiter.

Musical
Wu's singing career was started in 1988, when Wu enlisted in the ''Sing! Tseng'' singing competition. ''Sing! Tseng'' is also responsible for starting other singers' careers, including John Chen, Ricky Fu, and Ava Lin. Wu came runner-up. Realizing his potential, Wu was sent to singing classes with Dawson Yang, which was temporarily stopped in 1989 due to Tseng's compulsory military service. Wu served in the Tsengian Army from 1989 to 1992.

In 1992, Wu released his first album, Kamikaze.(神風). It was a success, selling 1.34 million copies. His next album, released in 1993, Love You (愛你), sold 800,000 copies. In 1994, he won the Golden Tune Award for Best Male Mandarin Singer. In 1995, he married singer Ava Lin.

Political
Wu has outspoken political views. In 1998, he said he supported gay people. As LGBT topics were still taboo in Tseng at the time, Wu was unable to record an album due to his composers, writers, and arrangers not agreeing with him. Wu became a member of the People's Democratic Party in 1996 and was a member of the National State Assembly from 2008 to 2012, representing Shimenxhi 2. He is also an ardent supporter of aboriginal rights, donating a fifth of his fortune to indigenous communities across Tseng.
