No matter how busy the days are, she can't stop Xu Xiaofeng's yearning for music, although she has always liked to listen to songs and sing, but she never wanted to become a singer, but the fate of the arrangement pushed her to the same name as Teresa Teng and sat on the throne of a palace singer.
In 1965, Xu Xiaofeng signed up for the "Hong Kong Warblers" singing competition, and debuted on the song scene with a song "Fire of Love", and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Just when Xu Xiaofeng was full of joy to tell her parents the news of the award, her conservative parents were not only unhappy, but also strongly opposed her from singing on stage again.
Xu Xiaofeng insisted that singing is not only a good job, but also a legitimate profession, in order to change the parents' thinking that girls show their faces to earn money is humiliating, Xu Xiaofeng has done two or three years of ideological work.
Later, in her singing career, Xu Xiaofeng toured many nightclubs and song halls, and covered many old songs from Shanghai in the 1930s and 40s.
Xu Xiaofeng's personality is more introverted, usually do not like to talk, but prefer to sing, at that time the Hong Kong music scene is more popular is a delicate, thin voice, she also wants to sing that kind of song, but can not sing.
In order to let the fans have a process of adapting to their unique singing style, Xu Xiaofeng signed the company at the beginning, but did not release records.
Like many young people now, Xu Xiaofeng has also been confused and distressed about her life, standing on the cross street, she does not know where to go.
Unlike the singers who became famous overnight, Xu Xiaofeng is in the long period of hard work and accumulation, with a unique singing voice and image, so that fans can not help but immerse themselves in it.
Her rich voice and elegant typhoon are becoming more and more popular with fans, and the highest record has set a record of singing 13 scenes in one night, and published 7 records in one year, and the length of the record can be played on the radio for three days and three nights.
In his heyday, Xu Xiaofeng created several records in the singing world that no one can break so far, when Taiwanese singers gathered in Hong Kong, Xu Xiaofeng's status in the Hong Kong music scene was as stable as Mount Tai.

At that time, fans compared Xu Xiaofeng with Teresa Teng, who was popular all over the country, and popularized a saying, called "Taiwan has Teresa Teng, and Hong Kong has Xu Xiaofeng." ”
Until the big red, low-key and calm Xu Xiaofeng, still trembling on the road of singing, singing seriously, taking the awards that should be obtained by strength.
Many of Xu Xiaofeng's songs, such as "Against the Flow of The Water" and "Caprice", are all portrayals of her own mental journey, just like she wears her own clothes, if she sings other songs, like wearing other people's costumes, there will be a completely different feeling.
From 1983 to 2006, Xu Xiaofeng held a total of 169 concerts in Hong Kong, which is a classic representative of concerts.
In 1992, at the Hong Kong Hung Rin Stadium, she set a record of 43 consecutive games, which was included in the world record at that time, a record that no one has been able to break so far.
Fame and fortune for Xu Xiaofeng, is always so light, she is not afraid of being surpassed, often pass on her experience to the new singers, intentionally to promote them.
Mei Yanfang, who debuted by singing Xu Xiaofeng's song "Season of the Wind", regarded Xu Xiaofeng as a mentor and idol.
Not only that, Xu Xiaofeng also pays great attention to the feelings of fans, and interacts with them intimately, once, Xu Xiaofeng is singing "Wind and Rain on the Same Road", due to insufficient electricity, when singing "bright back shadow has darkness", the lights on the stage suddenly went out.
The intoxicated fans who listened to it also thought that this was a scene that needed to be deliberately set up on the stage, they all sat motionless in place, Xu Xiaofeng did not dare to move, maintaining the original posture, the band did not have a little sound, until three minutes later, the lights came on again, she continued to sing the next sentence, the fans applauded thunderously.
This is a wonderful induction between Xu Xiaofeng and the fans, and she thought afterwards that if she ran off the stage at that time, the fans would definitely run away.
In line with the attitude of being serious and responsible for the fans, in a concert in 2005, there was a performance, Xu Xiaofeng suddenly had a cold, afraid that the voice would not play well, she resolutely decided to stop the performance, so that the audience kept the ticket tail and did not lose it.
Two weeks later, she planned to make up another song, all the expenses were paid by herself, but she did not expect that the enthusiasm of the audience was too high, she made up eight at once, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong at that time, because in the singing world, there has never been a similar thing.
In the Spring Festival Gala program in 1989, the general director of the Spring Festival Gala hoped that Xu Xiaofeng could participate, because Xu Xiaofeng wanted to open a concert in Hong Kong at the same time, in desperation, the person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala had to choose the way of recording, let Xu Xiaofeng record the performance first, and then play the video tape on the Spring Festival Gala stage, in this way, Xu Xiaofeng became the only Spring Festival Gala performer who did not appear at the Spring Festival Gala so far.
Xu Xiaofeng's favorite song is the blessing song such as wishing a lover to eventually become a family member, and seeing others in pairs is her favorite warm picture.
Compared with the smooth sailing of the singing career, Xu Xiaofeng's personal feelings are somewhat bumpy.
When he first debuted, his parents were anxious to let Xu Xiaofeng go on a blind date, and at first in order not to make his parents angry, Xu Xiaofeng also went to deal with it.
In the face of strange blind dates, Xu Xiaofeng would always politely say to others, "I'm sorry, I was arranged by my family." And they'll say, "Me too." The more times, she did not want to go again, and her parents could not take it.
In the column of "Ke Fan Listening", when it comes to feelings, Xu Xiaofeng talks about it: I like to see others pair by pair, pair, I am a person who is not very unruly, I am afraid of destroying this picture, but I am very envious of having this picture, I can only look at it from a distance, I have enough, feelings are things that can not be sought.
Xu Xiaofeng lamented that he had spent too much time in his singing career and did not have time to take care of emotional issues.
Although she had appeared in her dreams with Prince Charming, she thought it was not a simple matter, and when a suitor appeared, she would often gently advise the other party not to wait for her.
When a reporter once asked Xu Xiaofeng whether a person was lonely, Xu Xiaofeng said: "It is very difficult to find a person who is in love with each other, and it is really missed, and there is no need to force it.
Xu Xiaofeng, who is now 72 years old, has lived a single life with sound and color, enjoys her time at home alone, reads books and watches movies, and loneliness is just a luxury for her.
Beauty is late, Xu Xiaofeng left a classic song, such as a sparkling pearl, will be passed down forever, not only that, Xu Xiaofeng is also a big philanthropist, every time Hong Kong artists donate, it is indispensable to her share of the payment, which is awe-inspiring.
I wish this veritable big sister of the song world a happy old age and a temperament that does not decrease! May we all be like Xu Xiaofeng, no matter what time, we all have a positive and upbeat state of mind.
