The winners of the 33rd Golden Melody Awards have been announced, Cui Jian won the Best Chinese Male Singer - this also means that Cui Jian became the first mainland singer.
"I did win some awards, but I never wrote an acceptance speech" . Lao Cui 's acceptance speech is worth reading. It is sincere and sincere. In addition to expressing his recognition for the Golden Melody Award that recognized him, there is some realm in it. ——All your past experiences plus your doubts will become a new ticket, allowing you to board the music train leading to a world full of challenges and questions.
The physical version of this ticket may be "飞狗", an album Cui Jian released when he was 60 years old and is solidly worthy of this award and four previous nominations. But the focus is no longer on the ticket, but on continuing to move forward.
I have indeed won some awards, but I have never written an acceptance speech, or even prepared one. If you have the opportunity to see or hear this manuscript. One thing is for sure; I did write it!
If music is like a journey, there are many stops along the way. Any stop may be a destination. I believe some people can tell that the album "Flying Dog" has had many different destinations, but they were all temporary. Now I finally understand; it never has a destination!
Golden Melody Award is a transfer station with a long history, exquisite decoration and a bit of warmth. It clearly told me the direction of the next stop, and it seemed to be saying; a new era is waiting for you, are you ready to get off! All the experiences you have had, plus the doubts you have had, will become a new ticket to board the musical train that leads to a more challenging and questioning world.
Thanks again to the judges of the Golden Melody Awards! Thank you Universal Records! Thanks to the band members! Thanks to everyone who recorded the album! Thanks to my agent!

These remarks give the award more real weight.
For comparison, you can also read what Lao Cui said when he learned about the finalists: We still have a chance.
I hide some of the hard work in the details of music production and don't want people to see it. Because it's not cool enough! In the end, it was discovered by the judges of the Golden Melody Awards. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share, it makes me feel like I have an extra space. This space may be tolerance, enjoyment, or it may be a possibility. Because every time the music plays I feel; we still have a chance!

Congratulations to Cui Jian!
