" Childhood " has accompanied me throughout my school years. Whether it is the beautiful and cheerful melody or the popular and catchy lyrics, they are all impressive and sound "wandering".
Whenever I sing "Waiting for get out of class to end, waiting for school to end, waiting for games to have a childhood" I can't help but sigh: Who is so talented, can write so vividly, so appropriately, and so picture-like, and only when I grow up will I realize that this is written by Luo Dayou .
When I knew that "The Story of Time", " Love Song 1990", " Wild Lily also has spring ", "The Proverbs of Love" and other familiar classic golden songs were all written by Luo Dayou, I admire him even more.
Love experience
Luo Dayou was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1954. His ancestral home is Guangdong Meizhou . Luo Dayou was born in a family of famous doctors. His father and brother are both doctors, his mother is a nurse, and his sister is a pharmacist. Luo Dayou used to learn medicine, but later he gave up medicine and chose to be a musician.
Luo Dayou's first love is his medical school nursing major Xia Zhiren . They have been together for 7 years. Their wonderful campus time can be found in " Love Song 1980" .
As early as 1977, Luo Dayou and Zhang Aijia met because of their collaboration on the movie "Shining Days". At that time, the two of them were in love with each other, but because of their youth and shyness, neither of them confessed their love to each other and missed this fate.
Zhang Aijia met a second-married man soon after and stepped into the palace of marriage without hesitation. This man was 16 years older than her.
Although his family strongly opposed it, Zhang Aijia insisted on marrying him, so Luo Dayou had to continue his beautiful love.
1980, Luo Dayou graduated from university and became an intern doctor, but his heart was always entangled with "being a doctor" and "making music". In the end, he chose music, but he never forgot about Chang Aijia in his heart and created the album "Childhood" for her.
Then, Luo Dayou gave the "Childhood" that he had worked hard to create for several years to give Zhang Aijia. Zhang Aijia was moved by Luo Dayou's talent, and Luo Dayou had already fallen in love with Zhang Aijia, who was one year older than him.
"Childhood" was written by Luo Dayou during his studies at Medical University. He outlined the innocent and carefree childhood vividly. As long as the music of "Childhood" sounds, I believe every listener will inevitably recall the sunny time of his own.
"Childhood" has extraordinary significance in the Chinese music scene. It represents the memory of that era and witnesses Luo Dayou's love for Sylvia Chang.
Later, Luo Dayou also tailored "Little Sister" for her (Little Sister is Luo Dayou's love name for Zhang Aijia).
Luo Dayou felt sorry for Zhang Aijia because she lost her father at a young age. He wanted to use his love to soothe her injured heart.
Zhang Aijia was not afraid of rumors, nor did he care about his married identity. He cheated on him during marriage, and knew and fell in love with him. But even so, they did not come together in the end.
Zhang Aijia said that Luo Dayou loved her, but he loved music more, so Zhang Aijia, who had lacked love since childhood, chose to leave.
Although Luo Dayou has not been with Sylvia Chang for long, during this period, the love between the two inspired his creative inspiration . He not only created the album "Childhood" for Sylvia Chang, but also personally released his first album "Zhihuzheye".
Since Taiwan’s records could not achieve the effect he wanted, he took them to Osaka to arrange the music and then sent them back to Taiwan, and he was sent to the companion. At that time, he did not have an agency, so he made his own money. At this time, the father, who had always opposed him making music, did not hesitate to spend all his savings to help his son realize his music dream.
Despite this, his record was still not recognized. After several twists and turns, Rolling Stone Records at the beginning of its establishment decided to take a risk and give it a try. As a result, as soon as the record was released, it caused a huge response and sensation in the Taiwanese music scene.
Luo Dayou opened a new form of pop music. It is not as "narrow" as the previous pop music, full of love between men and women, and the love between children and children. His pop music appears macro, reflects social problems, is full of humanistic feelings, and suddenly arouses deep resonance among everyone. Luo Dayou is called by his Taiwanese compatriots: "the conscience of society" .
Then, Luo Dayou struck while the iron was hot and released albums such as "The Master of the Future" and "Home". Because his music was too sensitive, many records were once banned by the Taiwanese authorities. In this way, everyone rushed to buy them. He was regarded as the "music hero" by people.
However, as for the current situation in Taiwan at that time, his music was still "out of time". Helplessly, Luo Dayou flew to the United States after the concert of "The Last Night to Warm with You".
In 1985, he created "Tomorrow Will Better" at the invitation of Chang Aijia. 60 Taiwanese singers sang this song with all their hearts and looked forward to the beautiful tomorrow in Taiwan.
1985, Luo Dayou shifted his career to Hong Kong, and wrote classic songs such as "The Pearl of the East" and "Flowers on the Sea". A few years later, he settled in Hong Kong. After settling down, he first formed a recording production company and a music factory, and did his best to create his own music kingdom.
is here, he met Li Lie . In fact, they met when they were almost 20 years old. Ten years later, they met again in a different place, and they naturally got together. "Love Song 1990" was created here.
The way for a musical talent to express love is to be different. It is a song without any effort, but it has become another classic in the music industry.
Later, "Love Song 1990" became the theme song of the movie " A Lang's Story ", which was popular and also caused a huge response in the mainland. This was Luo Dayou's peak period,
, and Li Lie was just the opposite. She studied news in college and wanted to be a reporter. Unexpectedly, she planted flowers but did not bloom, and she planted willows and willows to become shade. He became a movie star and starred in the movies " Small City Story ", "Eternal World", "Go to the Wrong Heaven and Reborn", and "One Cut Plum", becoming a model of a jade girl.
23-year-old Li Lie met Mao Xuewei during the filming of "Home on the Beach ". She quickly fell into love. She put aside her career and ignored her mother's objection, and resolutely devoted herself to the arms of a man who had his father's shadow and had no income after returning to China.
They rented a house in Taipei. Because Mao Xuewei did not have a stable income, all expenses were spent by Li Lie. This unpopular marriage ended after only two years.
After divorce, Li Lie continued to film and later started a business to open a clothing store. After 6 years, he still failed. Then, Li Lie got together with Luo Dayou again and lived together soon.
Li Lie has always wanted to find a man who is as mature as his father and knows that he feels sorry for him. During the years of love, both of them were very busy and almost couldn't take into account each other's shortcomings.
However, after living together, she found that Luo Dayou was like a child who never grew up. She needed to be accommodated and tolerant everywhere, just like Dai Wangshu and Qian Zhongshu. Perhaps most talented men were a little crazy or a little confused in life, and the musical talent Luo Dayou was even better.
Luo Dayou used to be obsessed with aquariums and spent all day in the aquarium. At most, he had nine aquariums and two super-large ones at home. Later, he became obsessed with raising fish and flowers, but he fished for three days and dried the net for two days, and soon he lost interest. Li Lie had to "wipe his butt" those aquariums, fish and flowers.
In addition, Luo Dayou also has some nonsensical principles. His family cannot do it knowingly, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Not only that, as a senior musician, he likes to fall asleep while listening to music, and the music must be loud. For example, put "The Phantom of the Opera" to the maximum sound. If Li Lie said of him, he would say, "If I live alone, no one cares about me." Later, there was no choice, and Li Lie slowly adapted.
persisted like this for a few years. Li Lie found that he was not the person he wanted to find, but at that time, Luo Dayou's father was seriously ill. In order not to let him be hit again, she was by his side, comforting and taking care of him, and taking care of Luo's father together. Until Luo's father passed away,
Although she accompanied him through that most difficult time, Luo Dayou had a very deep relationship with his father, and he needed her. He proposed to her who had been in love for 11 years, and she married him, but their marriage only lasted for 9 years and 9 months and had to be separated.
This is the reason given by Li Lie with tears in his eyes about the reason for their divorce.
Li Lie and Luo Dayou were not in a relationship with each other, and she had no material requirements. After the divorce, she couldn't even take out the money for renting a house, but she had never complained about anything.
Li Lie, as his name is, after the divorce, she later became a film producer and did it very successfully.
After the divorce, Luo Dayou shifted his career to Beijing and set up a personal music studio. He was doing well in his career, but his relationship was not satisfactory. He even said that he would never get married again in his life.
Luo Dayou was lucky. Later, not long after, he met outsiders 13 years younger than him Elaine.
She looks a bit ordinary compared to Zhang Aijia and Li Lie, but Luo Dayou said that she is the right person.
Elaine admires Luo Dayou very much, but is not blind. In addition to being a good wife, she also has her own life. In this way, it may be the best state for Luo Dayou and Elaine.
So, they got married in 2010. Luo Dayou, who has always insisted on dink , also agreed to have a child at the suggestion of his wife. Later, they had IVF. Finally, when Luo Dayou was 58 years old, they had their daughter Gemma.
transformed into daughter slave
After having daughter Gemma, Luo Dayou moved home 19 times in his life. After drifting for more than 30 years, he finally returned to his birthplace of Taipei. After wandering for most of his life, he wanted to settle down for his "little lover", so he chose to settle in Taipei.
"Young young man leaves home and returns home", Luo Dayou joked that no one understands the meaning of this sentence better than him.
In the interview, when Luo Dayou got up early in the morning, he walked through the alley with his daughter's hand, chatting along the way with words only the two of them. When he arrived at the park, Luo Dayou skillfully sprayed anti-mosquito liquid and applied anti-mosquito ointment on his daughter, and then looked at her daughter with doting eyes, making her look like a "daughter slave".
Since having a "little lover", Luo Dayou's life has lost all the original principles. His daughter wants Luo Dayou to tell stories, pee, and eat with him. No matter what it is, as long as it is what his daughter asks, Luo Dayou will respond to his request and will immediately put down all the work at hand.
Unconsciously, the unruly musical talent has become a "treacherous uncle". He will talk about his little things from time to time and time from time to time. It seems that the classic works he has carefully created are not as good as his daughter's work.
he always said proudly: "Since I have had a daughter, I have laughed more in the past few years than in the previous 58 years." Even during the interview with reporters, he said that he missed his daughter again. Since his daughter, the stars in his sky have been bright, and he almost wishes to give all his love to Gemma.
His heart began to become delicate and soft. Luo Dayou, who once only knew how to make people accommodate and tolerate, also began to learn to love. Love that was willing and without any return could also make people so happy.
As the godfather of Chinese music, he has always cared about society. He wrote "Company" during SARS in 2003. During the COVID-19 epidemic, Luo Dayou re-adapted "Company" . In the MV, he took his 7-year-old daughter out for the first time to encourage everyone to fight the epidemic. It can be seen that he has always been a musician with humanistic feelings and a very social responsibility.
Luo Dayou's three relationships, whether it is Chang Aijia whom he liked when he was ignorant in his youth, Li Lie who had been in love with him for 12 years, or even his beautiful wife who was 13 years younger than him, in his heart, he has now lost to his "little lover" Gemma.
After going through hardships, Luo Dayou, who was old, regarded his daughter as the real pearl in his hand.
Good mentors and friends
Luo Dayou once received an apprentice -Ai Yiliang . She is a very excellent singer, but her music scene has not gone smoothly. Although she was selected into the Na Ying team when she participated in " China's Voice ", she was eliminated by Na Ying herself.
At that time, some netizens even held up for her and said that there was a "shady scene", but she had been eliminated and could only leave her beloved stage.
Later, she participated in several programs, especially on the stage of "China's Strongest Voice", she suffered repeated setbacks and barely entered the top five in the country. However, Luo Dayou saw her strength, so Luo Dayou accepted her as his apprentice on the spot.
Now Ai Yiliang is doing well in the music industry. Not only has she been favored by Mayday and re-translated the song "Ru Yan", but she also helped many well-known singers to create songs and won unanimous praise from everyone.
When she released her third album, she won the "Best Mandarin Female Singer Award" and was nominated for 7 awards including Best Composition and Best Lyrics at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, becoming a female singer of the queen level. Some netizens even said that Ai Yiliang could be on par with Na Ying who eliminated her.
There are often thousands of miles of horses, but there are not many Boles. If it weren't for Luo Dayou, her thousand-mile horse would not have been discovered so quickly. It has to be said that Luo Dayou is really unique and has a unique eye, and has "discovered" a powerful singer who shines like gold for the music industry. The influence of
songs
There is another story behind "Love Song 1990". In 1993, in Congo , a mother bought a tape without a cover from a Chinese store. She listened to a song repeatedly. She told her son that it was her favorite song.
Later, the mother passed away and her son moved from Congo to South Africa. The tape was also lost during the moving process. However, whenever the son missed his mother, he would involuntarily hum the song that his mother loved the most. Later, He also went to the Chinese store, but unfortunately it had closed. More than 0 years later, his son became a taxi driver. Whenever he met a Chinese passenger, he would hum and ask if he had heard this song. 20 years later, a couple passenger played Luo Dayou's "Love Song 1990" for him.
This song carries the memory of his mother and also carries the filial piety of a son to his mother. I finally found this song. I believe he will never regret his mother in this life.
Luo Dayou is worthy of being the "godfather of Chinese pop music", leaving so many extraordinary works for people. He is like a music poet, pushing pop music to the height of literature. He uses music to record the history and memories of a generation. He changed the form of pop music and turned pop music into cultural music with rich connotations.
Conclusion:
His music hits the soul, so it can last forever and last forever .
Whether it is "Love Song 1980", "Childhood", "Love Song 1990", or "Partner", they all ended up becoming Luo Dayou's "Story of Time".
used to only know how to like Luo Dayou's songs, but for some reason, now I finally know.
It turns out that every song of his is a story, and it is not just a story of Luo Dayou, but also a story of all of us.
