The creative background of " Glorious Years " is the establishment of a new South Africa. In 1990, the lead singer of Beyond band, Huang Jiaju, went to Papua New Guinea with Radio Hong Kong's First Love Brigade, where he saw the lives of people suffering due to war and famine.

After returning to Hong Kong, Wong Ka Kui felt the suffering of the South African people, and Mandela was imprisoned, but he was still determined to change South Africa's anti-war spirit, so he created this song "Glory Days", which can be said to be this song The song is dedicated to Mandela.

Mandela was the first black president of South Africa and the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize winner. His birthday is July 18, which is designated by the United Nations as Mandela International Day.

If you want to evaluate him impartially, I suggest you read his autobiography " Long Road to Freedom ". This is an autobiography he completed in prison. There is also a movie of the same name. If you "eat it" with "Glory Days", More flavor."

It is said that among the unnamed tombstones under Westminster Abbey (the highest church in the UK), there is a tombstone that changed Mandela's life. It is engraved with:

When I was young, my imagination My power has never been limited, and I dream of changing the world. When I matured, I found that I could not change the world. I shortened my sights and decided to change my country.

When I entered my twilight years, I found that I could not change my country. My last wish was just to change my family, but this was impossible.

As I lay in bed, it suddenly occurred to me that if I had only changed myself first, then by being a role model, I would change my family.

It is said that Mandela became enlightened after seeing this inscription. From then on, he gave up the pursuit of quick success and quick gain, and worked hard to become a role model among his relatives, friends and compatriots with a non-complaining mind. Decades later, he finally changed his country by changing and insisting on the best version of himself.
