Abour Richie's Family
關於小齊家族
Our Beginning
我們的起點
Who else would call their fans “family”? Who else would worry about fans waiting outside a radio station, fearing they might catch a cold? Richie Jen — fondly known as “小齊” — has always treated his supporters with warmth and sincerity. In return, Richie Family members have supported and cared for him like true family.
Founded at the end of 1998, Richie Family began as an online community and rapidly grew across regions. In just over a year, we became a large fan base spanning Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, Japan, Korea, North America, Singapore, and Malaysia — officially launching as the Richie Jen International Fan Club.
有哪位歌手會稱自己的歌迷為「家人」？有哪位歌手會擔心歌迷在電台外久候會著涼感冒？任賢齊 — 我們親切叫他「小齊」— 一直以真摯的心對待支持他的人，也正因如此，小齊家族的成員們亦全心全意支持他、愛護他，就如同關心自己家人一樣親切溫暖。
小齊家族於1998年年底誕生，起初在互聯網上萌芽並迅速發展。在短短一年多的時間內，我們已連結了來自香港、台灣、中國大陸、日本、韓國、美國、加拿大、新加坡及馬來西亞等地的齊迷，成為一個跨地域的後援組織，並正式成立「任賢齊國際歌迷會」。
Our Values
我們的信念
In truth, we seldom call ourselves a “fan club” — because the bond within Richie Family is more than that. Over time, a heartfelt connection has grown between members and with Richie himself. We don’t just follow his music, movies, and performances; we also quietly support his career and health, while respecting his privacy and personal space. We never engage in disputes with others who have different opinions — instead, we focus on giving him our warmest and most genuine support.
As the saying goes, “The fans reflect the artist.” At Richie Family, our mission from the beginning has been to carry ourselves with grace and respect — to be a community that Richie can always be proud of.
事實上，我們不常自稱為「歌迷會」，因為在小齊家族裡，成員之間、與小齊之間早已建立起如親人般的深厚感情。我們不只是關注小齊的音樂、電影和電視演出，也會默默支持他的事業發展與身體健康；同時，我們亦懂得尊重他的私隱空間，不給予壓力，不與持不同喜好的歌迷爭執，只希望為舞台上的他送上最真摯的支持。
我們相信：「有怎樣的歌手，就有怎樣的歌迷」。小齊家族一直以來的宗旨，就是以最好的修養與風度，讓小齊引以為傲，這也是我們的承諾與責任。
Our Story
我們的故事
In 1998, Richie starred in ATV’s adaptation of The Return of the Condor Heroes, where his touching portrayal of Yang Guo captured the hearts of many. Fans started searching for information about him online, and soon gathered in the discussion forum hosted by Rock Records. That forum became our “home” — a place where we shared stories, exchanged news, and welcomed each other like family.
On December 15, 1998, Richie appeared in the Good Friends Concert in Hong Kong — it was also the first public appearance of the Richie Family. That night, he joined a radio show interview on Sky of Hai Kei.
In January 1999, Richie won “Most Popular Mandarin Male Singer” from Metro Radio, with the Richie Family cheering on from the audience.
By April, preparations to officially launch Richie Family began, with membership forms published in Yes! Magazine to include offline fans. On June 24, during the press conference for his Big Mission concert, Richie officially announced the launch of Richie Family in Hong Kong.
Through a vote, we chose November 8 — the date of Richie’s first solo concert in Taiwan (98 Qi Ji) — as the official birthday of Richie Family. Since then, every November 8 has become a day of celebration for us all.
1998年，亞洲電視播放由任賢齊與吳倩蓮主演的金庸劇作《神鵰俠侶》，讓更多香港觀眾認識這位早以《心太軟》成名的實力歌手。小齊對楊過一角的詮釋，感動了無數觀眾。也正是這部劇，讓一群齊迷在網上相識，並在滾石唱片的討論區結下不解之緣。那裡被我們親切地稱為「家」，每天都有家人守候著其他成員一起聊天、分享消息、交流齊遇記。
1998年12月15日，小齊參加了香港的「好友音樂會」，小齊家族首次在現場亮相。同晚，他也接受了電台節目《海琪的天空》專訪。
1999年1月，小齊獲新城電台頒發「最受歡迎國語男歌手」獎，小齊家族亦到場支持，當晚收穫了他幾個飛吻，歡呼聲此起彼落。
同年4月，家族開始籌備正式成立，並於《Yes!》雜誌刊登入會表格，讓不懂上網的朋友也能加入。6月24日，小齊在「天降大任演唱會記者會」中正式宣布小齊家族在香港成立。
經過投票，我們決定將1998年11月8日，小齊首次在台灣舉行大型個唱《98齊蹟演唱會》的日子，定為小齊家族的生日。從此，每年11月8日，成為我們共同的慶典。
