Seeing this sentence, I, a middle-aged man, just like Zheng Zhihua sang in his song "Youth", a little crazy and a little handsome: Zheng Zhihua was once the boss of the music industry in my mind.

"The people here don't speak English, but they help Americans guard the door. They don't speak Japanese, but they recognize their Japanese ancestors."

This is what Taiwanese singer Zheng Zhihua just said.

"Boss! Boss! Boss!..."

Seeing this sentence, I, a middle-aged man, just like Zheng Zhihua's song "Youth Age" sang, a little crazy and a little bit Shuai: Zheng Zhihua was once the boss of the music industry in my mind.

Now, it seems that he is still the boss, and he is still the same Zheng Zhihua as before, without any change.

In the 1980s, Teresa Teng 's " Sweet Honey " was the first to float in from the open window in the mainland, which was refreshing: it turns out that songs can also be sung like this.

But then until the 1990s, people discovered that Hong Kong and Taiwan’s songs, movies and TV series had too many vulgar similarities and melodious sounds, which made people bored over time -

"I can't stop loving you." ..."

Is there nothing else to do in life besides dating?

In a word, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan lacks cultural flavor, comprehensive exploration of life, and deep thinking. So much so that later, Mr. Jin Yong came to the door and asked CCTV to remake his "The Legend of the Condor Heroes " for a copyright fee of 1 yuan.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are cultural deserts, Mr. Jin Yong felt deeply.

But even in the desert, there are oases and "Oriental Qilova" -

Luo Dayou and Huang Zhan both left immortal memories for people.

and Zheng Zhihua.

What they all have in common is that they write and compose their own songs, and are full of genius. In addition, their lyrics and music reveal a lingering sentimentality about fate, as well as an endless, deep and deep feeling for their family and country.

Compared with Luo Dayou and Huang Zhan, Zheng Zhihua's music seems to be more sharp-edged, frank, and even aggressive -

"Grand People", "The Tears of the Actor", "The Story of the Youngest"...

From these songs, we can see how proud, how upright, how cynical, and how righteous this singer with disabled legs is.

Say things that ordinary people dare not say, and sing things that ordinary people are unwilling to sing!

His style and feelings are obviously different from those of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop singers of the same era. It can be said that he is truly independent, proud and unique!

I was young at that time, and I never really liked Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music, so I regarded Zheng Zhihua as my artistic boss.

I admire this kind of person, who dares to strike a blow, dare to give a blow, and dare to tell the truth in the face of hypocritical, worldly, or even despicable and ugly people and things.

In addition to showing his deep feelings about his family and country, Zheng Zhihua’s music also fully expresses his love for life and his painful understanding of love -

" sailor ", "Stars and Dots", "Fireworks by the Tamsui River" and " "Southern Taiwan"...

These songs are not only full of life, poetic and picturesque, but the music is either sonorous and powerful, lingering and moving, or ethereal and meaningful, which still makes people recall it.

Time flies by. I feel middle-aged.

Zheng Zhihua faded out of the music scene in the late 1990s.

Sometimes I think of Zheng Zhihua who has faded out of the music scene, and I am not worried about him at all, because the life of this versatile and talented architect, advertiser, novelist, and musician will only become happier and happier.

Later, about ten years later, in order to make his baby daughter believe that he was once a singer in the Chinese music scene , Zheng Zhihua made a comeback for a while, held several concerts in several cities in China, and even came to a fourth-tier town. Puyang.

A few friends and I met Zheng Zhihua in a music bar, and met the boss of my childhood.

I gave the first version of Zheng Zhihua's tape "Fallen Angel" that I bought back to Zheng Zhihua.

The boss is very kind to my little brother.

He waved to me excitedly on the stage and treasured it in front of everyone.

...

More than ten years later, I really want to go to Taiwan to visit him.

I must realize this idea before I grow old.
