In 1965, Hou graduated from junior high school and was admitted to the China Railway Art Troupe, where he partnered with Shi Fukuan.
On December 11, he visited the United States with the China Quyi Rap Group led by Hou Baolin and made the first official performance of Quyi abroad, which was performed in five cities: New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.

The program scheduled to be broadcast in early July became Mr. Hou's final performance on the TV screen.
In 1993, Hou Yaowen married Yuan Yin, a student of Beijing Film Academy, and divorced in 2004.
When the reporter called on the evening of June 23, Guo Degang was live broadcasting a TV program in Hefei.
After hearing the news, Guo Degang and Yu Qian, who were preparing to record, burst into tears.
Originally planned to return to Beijing immediately, and even checked off the playing list, but in the end Guo Degang and Yu Qian held back their grief and continued to record.
[2] After the thirteenth anniversary of Hou Yaowen's death, Guo Degang still wrote poems and published articles to mourn his master.
[2][4][12] Guo Suqing, deputy director of the emergency center, stated the cause of Hou's sudden death was likely a cardiac disease.
[2] Guo also noted that Hou had a routine physical examination scheduled for June 19, four days before his death, but missed it due to "temporary work arrangements".
