This Taiwanese nostalgic classic song has become an immortal song, but many people do not know that the original singer is her

The one Night Wolf talked about with you today is very unfamiliar to most readers born in the 80s and 90s.

Her name is Youya , the first queen of Taiwanese Chinese music.

The post-80s and 90s didn't hear about it. It's normal. Because when she was very popular, the mainland was going through the Cultural Revolution vigorously. In the 1980s, when the reform spring breeze blew Taiwan's singing, she had already retired, and mainland audiences only heard Teresa Teng .

But if you mention You Ya's famous masterpiece, no one will know it. This may be one of the most representative classic songs in Taiwan's music scene in half a century.

" can only reminisce about the past ".

People who eat melon will say, I have heard this song, Teresa Teng sang it, and some say it was sung by Cai Qin, Long Piao Piao, Xu Xiaofeng, there are many versions, basically the 1980s can be called the queen of heaven All female singers have sung this song.

But who is the original singer of this song, many people don't know.

That night wolf tells you, Youya. The first diva and jade girl idol in Taiwan's Chinese music scene.

Youya was born in an ordinary civilian family in Taipei. She liked to sing since she was a child. At the age of 16, Youya began to sing in restaurants.

When she was 17 years old, someone who changed her destiny appeared.

That person is Liu Jiachang , the most influential music creator and director in Taiwan in the 1970s.

When Liu Jiachang listened to Youya's singing in the restaurant where Youya sang, he was astonished.

At that time, he ran to the backstage and invited Xiao Youya to drink tea, and invited the little girl to sing on the variety show of China Television.

Liu Jiachang signed a contract with her at that time in order to prevent the night from dreaming too much.

Liu Jiachang had no paper at the time, so he signed the contract with You Xiaomei with the napkin he brought with him.

You Ya, who was on the screen, became popular, and then, under the strong recommendation of Liu Jiachang, she signed with Taiwan's most influential Haishan Records at that time , Haishan Records in the 1970s, is the most influential record in Taiwan and even Southeast Asia. Influential Chinese record company, Xie Lei, Yao Surong, Feng Feifei, Zhen Ni, Cai Qin and other superstars are all from this record company, behind the scenes there are Liu Jiachang, Zhuang Slave, Zuo Hongyuan, Luo Daoming, Sun Yi, Lin Huangkun and other master-level Chinese original musicians are in full swing.

At that time, Haishan Records released her first debut work "I Can't Remember the Past" tailored for You Ya. The main song was composed by Liu Jiachang and written by Lin Huangkun. Once it was released, it became popular all over the country and became one of the most classic nostalgic hits in Taiwanese Chinese music.

Time is gone and never return

The past can only be reminisced

Recalling childhood bamboo horses and green plums

The two little ones accompany day and night without guessing

The spring wind blows the stamens red again

You have also added a new year

You're going to change your mind

It's like going back in time

I only cuddle with each other in my dreams.

This is a classic song that is endowed with the meaning of the times (some people even say that it is a metaphor for the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait at that time). Later, there were also versions of Teresa Teng, Feng Feifei, Xu Xiaofeng, Fei Yuqing version, each version All we can hear are reminiscences and nostalgia for an era. There are countless movies that use this song as a movie episode, from Chow Yun-fat 's "Prison Storm", Liu Guochang's "Mobile Force", Chen Yufan 's "Days Related to Youth",And the most recent one is "Detective Chinatown" by Wang Baoqiang .

Yewolf first listened to this song in a movie starring Zhang Aijia (can't remember the title), Zhang Aijia is a milf proprietress in a karaoke hall and has an adolescent son , fell in love with the female protagonist who was forced to sing and sing in the karaoke hall. The son later helped the female protagonist to escape to Taipei to regain her freedom and new life. Later, the karaoke hall closed down. Zhang Aijia quickly grew old, and the son ended his adolescence. The son saw the heroine on the TV talent show on the street screen, and the song "Only Memories of the Past" sounded at the end.

The spring wind blew the stamens red again / You have also added a new year / You are about to change your heart / It's like time is hard to go back / I only cuddle with each other in a dream. Every person, every group, every era has its own youth and memory, love and sorrow, but time will take everything away, and looking back many years later, things are different, the past is a faded black and white movie, love and hatred are gone is the past.

At this time, you and you may only be able to talk and give up. The song "Only Memories of the Past" can replace all the thousands of words.

This album was not only a big hit in Taiwan, but also hard to find in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, just like today's Xiaomi phones.

The sales volume of Youya's "Only Memories of the Past" exceeded one million, which also allowed the 17-year-old Youya to set a record. She became the first woman in the Chinese music scene to sell more than one million single albums. singer.

was so popular in 1970 that Yuya recorded five albums in one go.

And then Youya released "In the Rain", "My Heart Has Thousands of Knots", "Smoke Water Cold", " Little Rain" and other highly sung albums. The 1970s was like the era of Youya. .

In 73 years, she became the first Chinese female singer to be signed with Japan's Sony Records, and released several records in Japan.

Youya has a singing career of more than 40 years and has released a total of 123 albums.This is also a record that other female singers in the Chinese music scene cannot look back on.

Later, Youya got married and gradually faded out of the music scene, but she has a very loyal fan base among the post-50s and 60s in Asia. Every time Youya releases a record, Youya fans will buy it, just to listen to the long-lost voice of nature.

In 2012, You Ya went to Beijing to hold a nostalgic music concert for the 42nd year since her debut, and you fans from the mainland went there.

The jade girl of the past has become a middle-aged and elderly woman with growing silver threads, but the song "Only Memories of the Past" is an indelible memory and melody of youth.
