26 years ago, a song "Great China" became popular all over the country and is still a classic in the music industry.
We all have a home, called China, Lots of brothers and sisters and nice view.
Many people have the impression that this song is sung by Andy Lau, but few people know that the original singer and creator of "Great China" is Gao Feng, a former music talent.
Born in Wuhan, Hubei Province in 1968, Gao Feng loved art since he was a child and showed a high artistic talent.
In 1986, at the age of 18, Gao Feng was admitted to the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, majoring in sculpture.
During college, Gao Feng accidentally became interested in music, and he began to think about recording records on his own, and he was out of control.
Quite artistically talented, he also showed amazing talent in music.
In 1991, Gao Feng was discovered by Su Yue to become a singer. He signed to a record label and began a career as a professional singer.
However, originally from the art major, he did not learn any music theory knowledge, but completely by his own interests and talents.
He knew that talent alone would not go far, so he began to delve into music theory knowledge.
In his first year in the industry, he created his first album, The Night After You Left, but the response was mediocre.
For the next two years, his career did not improve, and he decided to terminate his contract with the company to become an independent musician.
Perhaps because after the termination of the contract, he regained his "freedom", and his musical talent began to burst.
He created classic songs such as "Spring Flowing Water", "Spring", "Hanging on the Hook for a Hundred Years And Not Allowed to Change", which was widely sung and became popular.
But he gave the song to Li Lingyu, Xie Xiaodong and other singers, and silently became the producer behind it.
A year later, Gao Feng switched from behind the scenes to the front of the curtain and launched the famous "Great China", which has been popular all over the country ever since.
No one can imagine that the creation process of this famous "Great China" took only two hours.
It was in 1994, Gao Feng was passing by Beijing Railway Station by train, and the solemn bell above Beijing Station was ringing at the hour.
At that time, the melodious singing of the red song "Oriental Red" fluttered in the air, and the melody of the endeavor made this enthusiastic young man excited.
Along the way, he looked at the scene of the rapid drifting outside the train window, his blood was surging and a word suddenly flashed in his mind - Great China.
After getting off the train, Gao Feng immediately found a small hotel near the train station, asked the front desk for paper and pencil, and began to compose music.
He admired the magnificent scene of Greater China, admired the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, Mount Everest...
In less than two hours, a song "Great China" came out.
We all have a home called China Lots of brothers and sisters and nice view There are two dragons coiled in the house, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River There is also Mount Everest, the highest slope
In 1996, the song "Great China" appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Two years later, at the Spring Festival Gala in 1998, shortly after the return of Hong Kong, three popular singers Mao Ning, Andy Lau and Zhang Xinzhe sang this song "Great China" on behalf of Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, respectively.
Just past the 2020 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Guoguo, Song Dandan, Karen Mok, Luo Zhixiang and other stars also sang this song "Great China" together.
At this time, "Great China" has been born for 26 years, and its creator Gao Feng has left the human world for 18 years.
In 2002, Gao Feng began to feel discomfort in his chest, often coughing and panting. At a young age he did not take this symptom to heart.
He still works and lives as usual in the midst of busyness.
He didn't seem to care about anything, and everything was resigned to fate.
On September 4, Gao Feng's condition worsened, he fainted, and was taken to Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
The doctor diagnosed that his lung infection was serious and his condition had deteriorated. The hospital immediately issued a critical illness notice to his family.
The mother tearfully signed the critical illness notice.
Even before dying, Gao Feng was still calm and calm, which was surprising.
Later, someone said he had predicted his own death a month earlier.
A month before his death, he released his new album Brave New World, and he designed the album cover himself as a major in fine arts.
In the poster, he removes his head and has a tube underneath.
This image coincides with the image of him later dying in his hospital bed.
The name "Brave New World" also seems to have a strong "meaning".
Perhaps subconsciously knowing his "destination", the art design of the entire album has a strange atmosphere.
The media reported this year:
Gao Feng, a famous Chinese singer, cut off his own head in the photo on the cover of his record "Brave New World" and inserted his head with a pipe in his hand. He died of illness during the album's release, and before he died, his head was really full of tubes.
At that time, the album was designed, looking at the strange pattern, some people also asked Gao Feng: What is the meaning of this design?
He just laughed and didn't answer.
At the end of his life, his parents whispered the doctor's opinion in his ear with tears in his ear and asked him: "Understand?" ”
Unable to speak at that time, he wrote the word "death" in the palm of his mother's hand, nodded slightly, and left quietly.
After Gao Feng's death, his former friend Yao Rong wrote an article entitled "Past Events, Carving, Zhang Ziyi" to mourn him.
In the text, it is said that Gao Feng and Zhang Ziyi are each other's first love.
When they met, Zhang Ziyi was only 17 years old and a student at the Beijing Dance Academy. At that time, Gao Feng had already appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala twice.
According to Yao Rong, Gao Feng's relationship with Zhang Ziyi ended because he was blocked by Zhang Ziyi's mother.
One day, Zhang Ziyi's mother answered a phone call from Gao Feng, and her tone was very dissatisfied with him:
"Don't look for us Ziyi anymore, she wants to take the exam and is very busy!" You'd better not call here. ”
Since then, the relationship between the two has broken off, and Gao Feng has not loved a woman since.
And this statement was strongly denied by Zhang Ziyi. She was furious about this:
"Rumors! I don't know what this person wants to do? ”
Zhang Ziyi said:
"I have refuted the rumors through the media, not once, but this time I have hurt a lot, because this time my gossip boyfriend is a person who has just died, who do I look for to make it clear?"
Zhang Ziyi denied this relationship, if it is true or false, then Gao Feng's former friend Yao Rong, but after his death, he said this, I don't know what is the intention?
Since the Scythians have gone, let the past go with the wind.
Although the music talent Gao Feng has been dead for 18 years, the song "Great China" will last forever.
