In 1991, Anita Mui stood on the stage and made a decision with tears in her eyes.
This decision shocked all of Hong Kong and the entire mainland.
Anita Mui stood on the stage and shouted to the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, calling on the stars to organize a charity performance.
She also told everyone to "do whatever it takes" to raise donations!
Anita Mui did this because she couldn't bear to see her compatriots in the mainland suffer from natural disasters...
In 1991, a heavy rainstorm that lasted for more than ten days triggered a flood that had not been seen in a century.
Floods have invaded the East China region of our country, affecting a total of 18 provinces, leaving tens of millions of affected people homeless.
It was this flood that made our country request international support for the first time!
While compatriots in the mainland are suffering, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is planning a vigorous "performance"!
Nearly two hundred celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan came from all over the world after hearing Anita Mui's appeal.
Jackie Chan did 7 somersaults in a row for 50,000 yuan.
Brigitte Lin flew across half of the world and came from the United States in such a hurry that she didn’t even have time to change her clothes.
At that time, Andy Lau, , who was already one of the Four Heavenly Kings, performed on the spot and his chest was broken.
After he got up, he vomited blood, but the first thing Andy said was "blood is thicker than water."
All this is to raise funds for our compatriots in China!
01 spontaneously organized, and the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry mobilized!
In 1991, a huge flood destroyed and submerged the homes of countless compatriots.
Anhui and Jiangsu provinces were the most severely affected. The affected population in these two provinces alone was as high as more than 90 million people, which shows the huge area and impact of the disaster in my country at that time.
At that time, 2 million people did not even have a place to live, and could only sleep in tents on the Huaihe River embankment every night.
After the flood, the flood was not over yet, and a plague spread rapidly...
People had not yet come out of the impact of the flood, but they were suffering from diseases again. The situation of the people and the country was very difficult.
After Anita Mui learned the news, she felt extremely sad when she saw the suffering figures of her compatriots in the news.
At that time, Anita Mui was the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association.
Anita Mui began to run around, calling on the entertainment industry to organize a fund-raising performance.
Anita Mui even said that celebrities should do whatever they can to raise donations.
Under Anita Mui’s call, many celebrities responded to the call.
The four major TV stations in Hong Kong, which were once incompatible with each other, have temporarily made peace and come together to cooperate.
Because the incident happened suddenly and time was tight, there was no time to plan such an exquisite and gorgeous performance.
The program list of the entire performance has not been arranged in detail.
Even, due to the short interval, this performance did not even have the most basic rehearsals!
Not only that, because many celebrities’ schedules are arranged in advance.
So when Anita Mui suddenly launched the call, many celebrities were not in Hong Kong at the time, or even abroad.
But they all responded to the call, and they all put down their work and hurried back to Hong Kong to attend Anita Mui's charity performance.
Just like that, a temporarily organized fundraising performance was held in a hurry on July 27.
There are no bright and shining lights in this performance, nor are there gorgeous and exquisite choreography.
Even if the stage is put now, people will say it is a "grass stage team".
The stars standing on the stage were not as glamorous as usual, but they all performed hard.
Among these stars, there are some who have been acting as minors for many years and are filming on the set. They stopped working and came here to do their meager contribution.
Some people have reached the status of king or queen, and every time they hold a concert, it is hard to get a ticket.
Some people are considered to be movie kings and movie queens, and their appearance fees are extremely high, but they all participate in the show for free and perform their best, just to raise funds for charity.
In this temporary performance without much rehearsal, every star and their program looked a little embarrassed.
is the most sensational and the most unforgettable performance recorded in the history of the entertainment industry!
This performance is the unprecedented "Selfless Performance" in 1991.
02 A performance listed in the Guinness Book of World Records
This "selfless performance" officially started at 3 pm and continued until 10 pm.
's entire fundraising performance lasted more than 7 hours.
can be said to be a star-studded show with constant programs.
had more than 200 celebrities participating in the charity performance and contributed nearly 100 programs.
The celebrities did not wear fancy clothes. They all wore white T-shirts and simple jeans.
's charity performance was also listed in the Guinness World Records because of its 7-hour long performance and the participation of more than 200 celebrities. The song "大地" by
Beyond moved countless people present. Even though our compatriots are separated on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, they are still one family. During the break between
's singing, Huang Jiaju's emotional speech made the audience's eyes wet.
Sylvia Chang was living in Taiwan as a husband and raising a child. After hearing the news, she quickly rushed from Taiwan to Hong Kong.
Because her son was still young and could not live without her, Zhang Sijia took her child directly to the stage.
She held her young son in one hand and my microphone in the other, and sang for a full six minutes!
At that time when the monthly salary was less than 100 yuan, Lu Liangwei hurried over with three checks, each worth up to 100,000 yuan!
Lu Liangwei donated a check of 100,000 yuan himself, leaving two checks. One was brought by him for Chen Yaoxing , and the owner of the other check chose to conceal his identity.
Chen Yaoxing is known as Tiger of Wan Chai . He was a key member of the Hong Kong Triad organization at that time.
The 100,000 yuan he brought was quite "chivalrous".
At that time, Winner Five Tigers and Wireless Five Tigers were popular. Needless to say,
Wen Na Five Tigers, the Wireless Five Tigers will also have a big background, consisting of Huang Rihua , Andy Lau, Michael Miu , Tony Leung , Tang Zhenye .
On this charity stage, the Ten Tigers performed together for the first and only time in history, bringing everyone an unforgettable and wonderful performance.
Brigitte Lin was working in the United States at the time. After hearing the news about the charity performance, she asked for leave without saying a word, stopped working, and boarded the flight back to China.
After flying across half of the world, when Brigitte Lin arrived, she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she hurriedly went on stage to perform Peking Opera with Michelle Yeoh , Sammo Hung and others.
Lin Qingxia shouted emotionally on the stage, hoping that everyone could reach out and save our compatriots.
03 The somersaulting kung fu superstar, the king with a broken chest
Jackie Chan, who was already a superstar at the time, performed on stage.
A boss shouted for Jackie Chan to do somersaults and said he was willing to donate 250,000 yuan, or 50,000 yuan for a somersault.
When Jackie Chan heard this, he immediately did 7 somersaults on the spot! After
stood firm, he said domineeringly that the two extra somersaults would be counted on him, and he would pay another 100,000 yuan!
Let a kung fu superstar perform somersaults for money...
If this plot was placed in a movie, it might be a scene where rich people use money to humiliate celebrities.
But Jackie Chan didn't show off at all. As long as the other party was willing to donate money, he would act.
Not only that, Jackie Chan did not leave the stage even after his hard performance.
He and Ye Qianwen held the donation box at the scene and walked back and forth in the auditorium in person, calling on the audience to donate money and materials.
Jackie Chan said that as long as someone donates money and asks him to perform, he will continue to perform on stage.
Wang Jie directly donated 1 million!
Zhou Huajian, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Yi Nengjing and more than a dozen Taiwanese celebrities also rushed to Hong Kong to perform shows to raise funds.
Chow Yun-fat , as the president of the TVB wireless artist training class, led the stars who graduated from the TVB training class to sing songs together.
Among the many programs, the most shocking one is Andy Lau!
Andy Lau performed a chest-breaking performance on the spot, and a boss sitting in the audience immediately said that he would donate 1 million.
Andy Lau was lying on the stage with heavy stone slabs weighing on his body.
Stephen Chow and Ng Mang-tat also performed, giving him the special function of the "Sage of Gamblers" and giving him a diamond to protect his body.
The sledgehammer swung down one after another, and the hearts of all the viewers were tugged.
When the sledgehammer hit for the third time, the stone slab was finally smashed.
At the same time, Andy Lau spit out blood from his mouth!
When he stood up, blood continued to flow from his mouth, and even his white vest was stained red.
The audience screamed one after another, but Andy Lau said four words "blood is thicker than water", which highlighted the theme of this charity performance.
Seeing the worried faces of the audience, Andy Lau quickly explained that the blood in his mouth was a performance prop.
turned out to be a false alarm!
Only then did everyone realize that this was also a part of the performance!
In addition to Andy Lau, Alan Tam also made everyone laugh. On the night of the
charity performance, Alan Tam had a solo concert at , the Coliseum. Many people felt that Alan Tam might not attend the charity performance.
However, as soon as the benefit performance started, Alan Tam, who was supposed to be rehearsing live at the Hong Kong Coliseum, also came to support the performance.
More than that, Alan Tam started from the performance and stayed until the afternoon.
He performed multiple shows, contributed money and effort, and did not leave until the evening to prepare for his own solo concert.
This also caused me to feel so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes during the second half of Alan Tam's concert, but I was still singing very immersedly.
04 A gathering of heroes, gathered together for a great cause
On the charity stage, Alan Tam did not reserve his energy for his solo concert in the evening.
He spared no effort to perform affectionately, without any perfunctory performance.
Alan Tam also played football while singing, letting the singers take turns guarding the goal. The rule of
is that for every goal scored, three donors will each donate one thousand.
In order to donate money, Sammo Hung, who had confirmed the count, "faked" on the spot in front of a large audience.
said that Alan Tam scored 100 goals, and therefore, each donor had to donate 100,000. After
raised 300,000 yuan for charity, Alan Tam added an additional 300,000 yuan on the spot.
Alan Tam also said that as long as any of the three donors make additional donations, he will follow suit.
On that day, George Lam rushed back to Hong Kong from Europe and sang three songs in a row as soon as he took the stage.
A boss donated 100,000 yuan to let Gong Li perform and sing.
Gong Li, who rarely opens her voice, heard this without any hesitation or hesitation.
She picked up the microphone, explained to the audience that she was not a professional singer, and then started singing. After
, Gong Li and Zhang Min appeared together and announced that the movie " truant Weilong " would donate the first day's box office revenue.
In front of him, Sylvia Chang took the stage with her son in her arms, coaxing the child and singing at the same time.
was followed by Fat Sister Shun Dianxia, who came on stage holding a sobbing little girl.
However, this girl is not the daughter of Shen Dianxia and Zheng Shaoqiu, but the child of the audience who accidentally got lost from her family.
Only then did Shen Dianxia go on stage with her child in her arms to look for someone.
Jacky Cheung was the celebrity who donated the most that day, tied for first place with Alan Tam.
On the stage, singer Jacky Cheung also performed with all his heart, singing many songs and singing a duet with Yu Chengqing.
Dawn, who is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had a small situation during the performance that day.
At that time, Dawn sang continuously for half an hour and left the venue after the performance.
A rich woman spent 500,000 yuan to ask Liming to sing. After Liming found out, she hurried back immediately.
Because Li Ming was not familiar with the song, and he was a little tired after performing for half an hour previously. The band at
had not rehearsed. When Dawn sang, the band directly raised four keys! After singing the song "
", Liming's voice broke and went out of tune again on the stage. It can be said that it was a series of situations.
But as the king of heaven, Li Ming did not play big or show off, nor did he back down.
In order to raise 500,000 yuan for charity, Liming bit the bullet and finished singing this song.
The next day after the results, the news that Liming was out of tune hit the headlines. Liming was once ridiculed as the "Prince of Out of Tune", but he didn't care at all...
05 Women are not inferior to men, and the blood of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is thicker than water.
The truly thrilling performance that day can be said to be Ke Shouliang riding a motorcycle and jumping over a human wall!
The so-called human wall is naturally composed of celebrities present.
This program is not only difficult, but also highly dangerous.
Because there are no safety protection measures, not even a helmet, many celebrities are a little intimidated.
Anita Mui, who had previously said she would "use any means necessary" to raise funds, immediately rushed forward to sign up.
Not only did she have to be a human wall, she also stood at the top and most dangerous position.
As the only actress in this wall of people, her courage and kindness are really admirable.
Beside Anita Mui, there were martial arts brothers such as Jackie Chan and Andy Lau, all of whom did not take safety precautions.
They put their lives and safety in the hands of Ke Shouliang, but their hearts are always concerned about the compatriots who are suffering in the mainland! At the climax of the
program, Ke Shouliang successfully jumped over the human wall. This program raised a total of 3 million yuan for charity!
Ke Shouliang's performance is thrilling, and the human wall of stars is even more moving. When
was performing the show, many celebrities who were not performing all held donation boxes and walked back and forth in the audience to collect donations.
In addition to celebrities, Hong Kong's major film and television companies and business leaders also donated funds.
He Yingjie, a mainlander who started his career in Hong Kong, even said that he would donate as much as the charity performance raised!
This performance started at 3:00 noon and continued until 10:00 pm. It was a non-stop fundraising performance for seven hours, and the total cost was more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars!
He Yingjie immediately donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars without saying a word!
06 The most embarrassing performance created the most glorious moment in Hong Kong.
In addition to this benefit performance, the stars of the Hong Kong entertainment industry also spent 4 days filming a movie " Rich Family Night Banquet ".
This movie has a luxurious lineup of directors and screenwriters, and the cast can be said to be unprecedented.
also brings together Leslie Cheung , Stephen Chow, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Tony Leung , Liming, Gong Li, Anita Mui, Joey Wong , Maggie Cheung , Carina Lau , Aaron Kwok , Beyond, Michelle Reis and many other big-name actors...
This movie was made to raise funds for the East China floods . All the box office was donated, and all the stars who participated in the film were paid zero pay.
The final box office of "Wealthy Night Banquet" was 4.61 million Hong Kong dollars, all of which was donated to compatriots in the mainland.
Alan Tam's star football team also organized a disaster relief charity performance and football match, and once again raised more than 4 million yuan in donations.
In the last program of the whole show, the stars sang " Tower Lingyun " loudly. The song
was known as the Hong Kong song in Hong Kong at that time, and it was very contemporary.
There is no word about nostalgia in the lyrics, but every word is singing about nostalgia.
How can the soaring Eiffel Tower, the magnificent Mount Fuji, the Statue of Liberty in the distance, and the romantic Honolulu coast compare to the fishing lanterns in my hometown on the other side.
During the chorus, the stars changed the lyrics to "How can the fishing lanterns be in Anhui/in Jiangsu".
In that hot summer of 1991, what was hotter than the scorching sun was the enthusiasm of Hong Kong compatriots and the passion of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
This selfless performance, as Andy Lau said, showed the "blood is thicker than water" feelings of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
This embarrassing performance organized temporarily was hailed as a great performance. The great thing about
is not the gathering of stars, but the national Tsing Yi of these stars and Hong Kong compatriots!
31 years have passed, and this performance can still be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Everyone who knows this period of history will be moved by this performance.
At the end of the performance, the stars once again sang "Tomorrow Will Be Better" loudly.
The saying "disaster has no mercy" was vividly reflected in this benefit performance!
Back then, they sincerely wished their compatriots in the mainland an early escape from suffering and cheered for the motherland.
Listening to it now, this song and the singing back then are still inspiring and inspiring to every bloody Chinese!
