is "Happy Paradise".
The following is the original MV of the Rolling Stones. The order of appearance is: Sylvia Chang, Zheng Huajuan, Huang Yunling, Wang Xinlian, Qi Yu, Pan Yueyun, Qian Huaiqi, Ji Hongren, Chen Shuhua, Li Zongsheng, Tang Xiaoshi, Zhou Huajian.
In Taipei in 1986, the news that Yuanshan Zoo was moving to Muzha became headline news. In order to cooperate with the move of the zoo, Zheng Huajuan, the producer of Rolling Stone Records' "Happy Paradise" album, organized the company's artists to record Chinese music scene Lidi. A concept album with the theme of caring for animals and environmental protection, awakening the intimate and inseparable relationship between humans and animals.
Unfortunately, good things come in hard times. The album was delayed again and again, and the style was overturned again and again. The six-month-long production process put Zheng Huajuan under a lot of pressure. Until the relocation of zoo was completed, the album was not completed. No wonder it was expressed in the copywriting " The emotions and communication with animals are completely blank, and the expression of words lacks appeal and feels awkward and helpless."
Today, it seems that producing a concept album for animals is a very meaningful move. It is natural for the producer Zheng Huajuan to be recognized by her peers and the media for this album.
In January 1987, the album was officially released. "Happy Paradise" became one of the most important works of Rolling Stone Records and a must-sing track in many of the Rolling Stones' concerts.
"Happy Paradise" was composed by Chen Fuming and lyrics by Lu Xuehai. It starts from the small movements of animals and extends to lyrics with positive meanings: "The whole world has raised hopes", "No one should be depressed forever", "Higher and farther We need more dreams” etc.
has concise, true and easy-to-understand lyrics combined with catchy melody, which is very suitable for friends of all ages to sing. It looks at everything around it from a childish and innocent perspective, and is full of the beauty of humanistic care. The purpose of the song
is to let people understand that animals do not actually harm humans, and they also "cry, laugh and feel sad" and "have the same sunshine".
As early as the last day of 1986, Taiwan had the most classic New Year’s Eve party.
That night was the first time that all the Rolling Stones' singers made a public appearance. More than a dozen singers, including Zhou Huajian, Huang Yunling, Zheng Huajuan, Wang Xinlian, Qi Yu, Pan Yueyun, and Li Zongsheng, participated in the performance. Tens of thousands of viewers spent an unforgettable night together. . That concert was called "Happy Paradise" and it was also held to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the Rolling Stones.
More than twenty years later, in 2010, "Happy Paradise" was selected as the theme song of the "Rolling Stones 30" concert, which represented the song's special status during the record company's career. "The elephant's long trunk is rising high" is actually describing the important role of the zoo - the elephant "Awang". This 85-year-old animal passed away in 2003.
"Happy Paradise" with warmth and humanistic care
feels warm when I listen to it at this time.
The epidemic is raging,
But we should never lose our inner strength.
Tell you about a mysterious place/
A happy paradise for children/
As busy and noisy as the human world/
Crying and laughing/
Of course there will be sadness/
We have the same sunshine/
