Hitting the scene in 1994, Zheng Jun reached a career peak in 2002 with an MTV Video Music Award win for his hit "1/3 Dream."
The annual Beijing Pop Music Awards were presented by Beijing Music Radio as a year-end wrap-up of its influential pop music chart.
Each award is shared by a mainland musician and a Hong Kong or Taiwan musician.
At Wednesday's awards, the best singer-songwriter from Hong Kong/Taiwan was Chang Chen Yue, who also shared the best album award with Zheng Jun, for "Yearning Is a Kind of Sickness." The best producer under the Hong Kong/Taiwan category was Lee-Hom Wang, for "Change Me."
Wang Feng (mainland) and Eason Chan (Hong Kong/Taiwan) shared the best male singer awards, and their female counterparts were mainland Super Girl winner Zhang Liangying and Taiwan songstress Angela Zhang.
