On the evening of December 31, 2018, at Jiangsu Satellite TV’s New Year’s Eve concert, Huajian skewed five theme songs of Jin Yong’s martial arts film and television dramas to miss the deceased Mr. Jin Yong.
We once thought that with Mr. Jin Yong's departure, that era of martial arts would end here.
But when you think of music, when Zhou Huajian spoke, those light fur and long swords, fierce horses sang wildly, family, country, hatred, grudges and entanglements were all in front of you.
Netizens praised: Zhou Huajian is the world as soon as he opens his mouth.
"As soon as you open your mouth, you will be the world." This is not only to commemorate those years, but also to praise Zhou Huajian's steady typhoon, clear singing voice and solid singing skills for decades.
58-year-old standing in the center of the stage, straight, like a knight who abandoned his past and future events, letting go of all his sorrow and worries in his heart, and all his exuding was an open and upright spirit.
Someone once said that Zhou Huajian is the strength of his eldest brother and the status of his second brother.
Compared with Lee Zongsheng's direct hearts and Luo Dayou's feelings for family and country, Zhou Huajian seems to be the one who is easily forgotten.
But his singing can be warm and healed, and can be free and easy.
He has countless classic works with high popularity, and even has creative talents that are not inferior to those of Luo and Li.
famous music critic @ Erdi said: "Zhou Huajian is the foundation of in the Chinese music scene in . As long as he still sings, the music in this country will not be too bad."
Is there such a song that reminds you of zhao Huajian?

1991-1993 Heyday: " makes me happy makes me worry ", " Fragrant ", " True Hero "
1982, 22-year-old Zhou Huajian was still in his sophomore year at Taiwan University.
As introduced by the senior, he started his singing career in the Shilin Folk Song Western Restaurant.
was also there. He met Lee Jong-sung-sung, a regular restaurant customer, and joined Rolling Stone Records with Lee Jong-sung's recommendation.
One is warm and sincere, the other is simple and profound, and the two hit it off.
Zhou Huajian once laughed and said that he who opened a rice shop at home and Li Zongsheng, who runs a gas shop at home, has the most rewarding, because "only the gas is ordered can be cooked with raw rice."
But even with the help of Leehom, he did not walk smoothly at the beginning.
had several years of work, and he could only be the assistant behind the scenes of doing odd jobs. Later, he finally got the opportunity to release the album, but all of them were mediocre.
It was not until 1991 that he covered a Japanese song " Men and Women ", with the Chinese name "Make Me Happy and Me Worry", and that he officially entered the peak of his singing career.
The song helped him open up the era of leading the Chinese music scene in "1991-1993".
, please give me a little more time
, please give me a little more greeting
, please give me a little more space
, please give me a little more space
, please give me a little more gentle
, don't make me so uncomfortable
, the infatuation, resentment, anger, thoughts, those sincere hearts that are willing to give, those hurts that are hard to collect,
, were all relieved in Zhou Huajian's humming in a crying voice.
Then in 1993, he released his new album "Flower Heart", with sales of up to 4 million copies, winning the first place in the annual sales of Chinese records in the world, and winning the title of " National Song King ".
The heart of the flower is hidden in the stamen. I missed the flowering period in the empty space.
Your heart forgot the season. Never easily understand
Why don’t you hold my hand? Listen to the sun and the moon and sing a song together.
The night is day and night is day. Life is happy. There is a lot of joy.
Spring will come. The flowers will bloom again.
As long as you are willing. As long as you are willing, let the dreams line your heart.
Talking about this song, netizen @Galigugu said:
"I remember in 2009, once I took a bus. This song was played on the bus radio, and I sang it in a low voice. After a few sentences, someone echoed.Later, dozens of people in the car started singing loudly! "
Zhou Huajian's song has such charm. As long as someone hums gently, someone will be able to follow and slowly.
He sings the infatuated men and women in the world, and also sings the floating and sinking of life.
A song "True Hero", without gorgeous songs, no profound lyrics, simple and plain, but it sings into everyone's hearts.
Grasp every minute of life
Give all the best to our dreams
How can we see the rainbow without experiencing the wind and rain
No one can succeed casually
How hard is life, you and I are all ordinary people.
Every sad and frustrated passerby, as long as you hear this familiar The melody, when you hear the deep magnetic voice of Brother Hua Jian, you have the courage to move forward.

Jin Yong trilogy: " Swords are like dreams ", " Lovers in the World ", " Hard to recite scriptures "
html Zhou Huajian in the 190s was so popular that he had to give way.In addition to leading the Chinese era of "1991-1993", he was also the "monetary singer" of Jin Yong's martial arts theme song in those years.
He was warm and healed when singing the love songs, and he was heroic and free and easy when singing the martial arts songs.
Mr. Jin Yong once gave such an evaluation: "Gorgeous lyrics and music, and a toned singing voice. ”
1994, the remake of Ma Jingtao version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Taiwan TV is popular, and the theme song "Swords Like Dreams" sung by Zhou Huajian is perfectly matched with this drama.
It is worth mentioning that the composition of this song was completed by him alone, and the lyrics were written with his friend Zhan Demao.
My sword Where to go? Love and hate are hard to love
My sword Cut the sky. Yes and nonsense.
I am drunk. A hazy. Gratitude and resentment are illusion and emptiness.
I wake up. A spring dream. Life and death are all empty
He used his extremely penetrating voice to interpret this martial arts song "The dreams of the world are so beautiful, and love and hate are also in a hurry" magnificent.
A year later, Hong Kong TVB played Louis Koo and Li Ruotong's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Li Mochou , Lin Chaoying, Wang Chongyang , Gongsun Zhi , Qiu Qianren ... These children in the world love and hate are entangled, and they are intoxicated.
And its theme song "The World of Love" (Cantonese version is "Mythical Love Words"), which is gentle and ups and downs in Zhou Huajian and Qi Yu's high and low openings, which sounds lingering and heart-wrenching.
Love is a vague time when the world first opened
The rose that has bloomed
Love is walking through the world and looking through the autumn water just because
The people who have loved do not regret it
Love is a cycle of reincarnation in a lifetime
No matter in the southeast and northwest
Love is a piece of right and wrong
Teach lovers no longer can Say goodbye to
The lyrics of this song were written by Lin Xi, but the song was composed by Zhou Huajian.
Lin Xi once said: "Huajian is very special to Hong Kong. The songs he wrote have the flavor of minor tunes and this charm. Writing his songs, happy and painful, painful and happy. "
Zhou Huajian was lucky. He was lucky enough to meet Bole when he was young, and he met his soulmate at the peak of his career, but he knew better how to seize this luck.
In 1997, he and Lin Xi collaborated again, writing lyrics by one person and composing music by the TVB version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This is one of the five most difficult songs recognized in the Chinese music industry.
NetEase Cloud Music comments:
"In order to learn this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" more than 20 times, but my hard work paid off. I finally learned the Eighteen Palms of the Condor Heroes. ”
Swallowing the wind and kissing the rain and burying the setting sun
Bullying the mountains and seas and storming the snow paths
Picking flowers and shaking the wine, shaking the world, crazily
With these two eyes and hundreds of arms or thousands of hands,
Can't guard against the sky
The day is vast and the snow is long and the same as who sails together
This sand rolls and the water wrinkles and smiles lingering
Greedy for a moment, teaching the daughter's love to bury
neatly lyrics, coupled with Zhou Huajian's unique "fine brushwork" singing style, sings the ambition of a man, the beauty of a daughter, and the sword and shadow of the world, exquisitely.

"Good Man" Zhou Huajian, those songs written for his family,
, listen to those classic old songs again, and you will find that Zhou Huajian, who is in his twenties and thirties, sings the chivalrous world. When he enters the second half of his life, he knows how to cherish the people around him.
A few years ago, the media photographed his wife, who is over 50 years old. In the
photo, she is old and has no longer the beautiful face of the past, and is far from the appearance of Zhou Huajian, who is still young and vigorous.
But Zhou Huajian firmly defended his first wife. In order to make his wife feel at ease, he gradually faded out of the audience's sight over the years and left more time for his family.
When she was young, she didn't like her poor, and when she was old, she didn't like her vicissitudes.
In 2003, he sang "Happiness of Suffering Together" affectionately, expressing his pity for his wife, cherishing the past, and expecting the future.
Even if there are some things that are troubled and helpless
At least we have the happiness of enduring hardships together
Every time love goes to a dead end
The past will hug us around
Although sometimes times when the times encounter ups and downs
At least we have the happiness of enduring hardships together
One person has only sour
Two people have no longer lonely helpless
And as early as 1989, after knowing that his wife was pregnant, Zhou Huajian, who was the first father, began the creation of the song " Kiss My Baby " with excitement.
However, during the ten months of his pregnancy, he just composed the song, and the lyrics were not written for a long time.
But on the first night after his son was born, looking at his son in his cradle, every word and sentence emerged involuntarily in his mind.
I want to fly to the endless night sky
Pick the stars as your toy
I want to touch the moon with my own hands
Still write your name on it
Finally, I have to come back safely
Come back to tell you everything
He is an excellent singer and an excellent father.
The son was born and created "Kiss My Baby".
After the daughter was born, she wrote "Daughter Song".
agent Yang Yongan said: "Huajian attaches great importance to the time he spends with his family."
will personally check the children's homework as long as he is at home, understand their studies, and listen to their ideas;
He will also deliberately turn off work in order to attend the children's graduation ceremony;
He never interferes with his children's choices, always respects and cares for them.
In 2011, at a family gathering, he sang a song "The Singer of the World" that his mother loved, and his mother burst into tears before the song was finished.
So Zhou Huajian decided to create the album "Hua Dan" for his mother, integrating the Peking Opera and pop music that his mother loved, and spanning 80 years of time and space from a female perspective, paying tribute to the female actors.
Zhou Huajian once said that there has always been only the dream of music. Music is his only profession.
On the way to build a dream, he never forgot the people around him.

On the 30th anniversary of his debut, Zhou Huajian once said that he is not the "King of National Songs" but a "National Singer". The difference of
is the same as one word, and the pattern is fully displayed.
He has always been a good gentleman who always smiles.
doesn’t care about fame, fortune and honor, just want to sing well and fulfill the only dream of music.
The musical path of decades is his life path.
When asked the question "If you use a few words to summarize yourself, what would you use?", his answer was: "The words are not memorable, and they taste."
He said that he may not remember many things, but they are very interesting.
Music is the case, and so is life.
How fortunate we are, in those youthful days, in those dreams of revenge, and in those wandering troughs, we can hear such a simple, warm and powerful voice.
Is there a song that reminds you of Zhou Huajian?
Is there such a song that allows you to follow and gently?
Is there a song that you sing?
