著名音乐家、对外经济贸易大学退休教师刘欢于2026年9月25日上午9时52分在上海病逝，享年63岁1。作为中国流行乐坛的标志性人物，刘欢创作了《少年壮志不言愁》《好汉歌》《从头再来》等家喻户晓的歌曲，并在2008年北京奥运会开幕式与英国歌手莎拉·布莱曼共同演唱《我和你》1。

刘欢一生坚守纯粹的音乐创作理念，从未签约任何唱片公司，没有职业经纪团队，极少接受媒体采访1。他在对外经济贸易大学执教30多年，主讲《西方音乐史》课程，其选修课采用电脑随机抽签方式选课，每次有300人参加1。2023年9月，刘欢正式办理退休手续，告别讲台1。

在从事音乐创作和教育工作的同时，刘欢也致力于社会公益。2019年，他以个人名义出资2000万元与芒果V基金共同设立"刘欢原创音乐公益金"，每年于1月11日资助100万元给30岁以下未成名的华语原创唱作人1。2009年，刘欢曾被确诊为右侧股骨头缺血性坏死，并接受了人工髋关节置换手术1。他最后一次公开露面是在2025年12月31日B站跨年晚会上，演唱了《千万次的问》和《我欲成仙》1。

Liu Huan, an iconic figure in Chinese popular music and a retired professor at the University of International Business and Economics, died in Shanghai on September 25, 2026, at 9:52 a.m., at the age of 63 1. Throughout his career, Liu created numerous beloved songs that defined generations, including "A Young Hero's Aspirations," "The Brave Man's Song," and "Start All Over Again," and performed "You and Me" with British vocalist Sarah Brightman at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics 1.

Despite his prominence as a musician, Liu maintained an unwavering commitment to academia and artistic integrity 1. He taught "History of Western Music" at the University of International Business and Economics for more than 30 years, where his elective course used computerized random lottery for enrollment, drawing 300 participants each time 1. Liu deliberately refrained from signing with any record label throughout his life and operated without a professional management team, rarely granting media interviews 1. In 2023, he formally retired from teaching 1, with his final public appearance occurring at a Bilibili New Year's Eve concert on December 31, 2025, where he performed "A Thousand Questions" and "I Wish to Become Immortal" 1.

Beyond his artistic achievements, Liu demonstrated deep social commitment through philanthropy 1. In 2019, he personally invested 20 million yuan alongside the Mango V Fund to establish the "Liu Huan Original Music Charity Fund," which allocates 1 million yuan annually on January 11 to support emerging Chinese-language songwriters and artists under 30 years old 1. Liu had undergone hip replacement surgery in 2009 following a diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the right femoral head 1.
