At the beginning of the 21st century, I also happened to be in middle school, and I also caught up with the last peak of the Chinese music scene. Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Wang Lihong and other familiar names have drifted into the cochlea of thousands of young people along with their melodies that are sometimes ancient, sometimes melancholy, and sometimes relatively brisk.
I still remember when Zhou Dong's "Chopin in November" first came out in 2005, the young female computer teacher was not in class, but turned on the projector in front of the lectern, turned on the speakers in the computer room and shared the songs with us. "Nocturne", "Hair Like Snow", "Black Sweater", "Coral Sea" are all classics in my opinion today.
In that era, Jay Chou's album was such a sensational scene, and to this day, if Jay Chou released a new album, even if it was a new song, it should still be the headline.

Of course, Zhou Dong's songs cover a very wide range, but my personal favorite is still a few of his ancient songs, such as the above-mentioned "Hair Like Snow", and his album "Ye Huimei" released in 2003 in the "East Wind Broken".
I like the role of the national instrument erhu in this song, the melodious sound of the strings is mesmerizing. Coupled with the words of the lyricist Fang Wenshan and Zhou Dong's unique singing style, a classic was born.
Later, in the 2008 album "Magic Lord", another unforgettable "Orchid Pavilion Sequence" was born, there is no doubt that the lyrics of this song are also composed by Fang Wenshan, and the prelude to this song is still played by Erhu, and the melody is gentle as if it can suddenly make people travel back to the era of the ancients thousands of years ago. In front of his eyes, there seems to be a picture of a smoke and rain pavilion, and the ancients wantonly splashed ink and pencils in the pavilion.
In addition, this song also appeared on the 2011 CCTV Spring Festival Gala with Zhou Dong. It can be seen that the song and the Chinese style represented by Jay Chou himself have been recognized by all parties. Today, there are also many music experts in the popular short video platforms who adapt the singing method of this song, but the essence and text of the song do not dare to move, after all, the classic is not so easy to surpass.
In the lyrics, "And I lack your lifelong understanding", I don't know what kind of situation Master Fang wrote such a text, I can only say that a master is a master.

In addition, because of the release of the movie "Head Text D" in 2005, Zhou Dong's acting skills as the male number one are temporarily ignored, and the film interlude "All the Way to the North" composed by Fang Wenshan lyrics and Jay Chou is still a song that many people are willing to reminisce about when they are driving alone in the middle of the night.
In addition, I personally like several other songs of Zhou Dong, namely "Peninsula Iron Box", "Sunny Day", "Qilixiang", "Xingqing", "Tornado", "Simple Love", I don't know which songs of Zhou Dong I like to listen to.
If in Jay Chou's most brilliant era, he can still compete with it a little bit in popular music, that is, Wang Lihong, who is called a star by the Wahaha Group.
The most familiar song for this high-achieving student from the Berkeley College of Music in the United States is "The Only". This is the main track in his 2001 title album of the same name," The Only One, the song has a soothing melodious tune, catchy lyrics, and Wang Lihong's magnetic voice makes this song extremely popular.
There is also the cover song from Li Jianfu's "Descendants of the Dragon", needless to say, the song combines popular music and patriotic feelings to the fullest, and the degree of singing is extremely high, especially on the eve of the Beijing Olympic Games, many shops in the streets and alleys will play this music.
The song "Flower Field Mistake" included in Wang Lihong's "Heroes of the World" album released at the end of 2005 is one of my favorite songs, and the song tune gives people a lively and brisk feeling, of course, the insertion of erhu also makes me feel very good.
There are still many people who like the song "Big City Little Love", which is also a song sought after by many students and young people in that era, the song tune gives people a soothing feeling, and it is a song that many people are willing to play when they are reading and living at home.
Lin Junjie, who has had a lot of negative news recently, is also a group of dark horses that came out of that period. The title song "Gangnam" from his 2004 album "Second Heaven" not only quickly captured a large number of fans from both sides of the strait and three places, but also snatched the position of Singapore's "first brother" from Adu.
A year later, in another album "No. 89757", a song "A Thousand Years Later" conquered the hearts of many fans, at that time I seemed to talk about the first love, this song also accompanied me to sleep through MP3 on many nights.
I have to say that Lin Junjie is still very good at singing love songs, and his success in popular music seems inevitable with his extremely powerful singing skills.
In addition, the title song "Cao Cao" on the 2006 album also gave him a complete place in the Chinese style repertoire. This song is also interpreted by him with a very personal style, which is very popular with everyone.
However, among these pop superstars who had great popularity and many masterpieces at that time, I also had a male singer who I particularly liked, that is, Xiaogang Zhou Chuanxiong.
"Dusk", "Lonely Sandbank Cold", "Blue Turkey", "Man Ocean" including "Notepad", "Betrayal", "My Heart Is Too Messed", "The Last Train" A highly sung love song made me fascinated at that time. The name "Godfather of Love Songs" is truly deserved.
To be honest, Eason's songs were only slowly tasted by me on the eve of college graduation, and maybe this is how everyone behaves at different stages of the growth process.
Of course, the classic of "Ten Years" does not need to be said more, and Eason Chan's incomparable voice can really calm down many people when they are impetuous. Later, after working, the theme song of the movie "Spend a Long Time with You" is also a song that I am willing to reminisce about in my spare time.
The appearance of Eason seems to be the last carnival of the peak of Hong Kong pop music, and when we look back many years later, it seems that there is no such singer in our field of vision.
At that time, I personally did not listen to a lot of female singers' songs, but there was one person whose songs I also listened to a lot, and she was Zhang Shaohan.
From "Aurora" to "Flowers in Dreams", her voice gives people a very ethereal feeling, very penetrating, anyway, I personally am very useful.
The album "Pandora", released in 2006, should be her peak, and that song "Invisible Wings" not only put her on the peak of her singing career, but also was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in 2007.
But just when everyone thought she was going to attack the throne of the queen of the world, her bloody parents destroyed her with their own hands.
Fortunately, in recent years, she has returned to the public's vision through a series of columns such as "I Am a Singer", and may this beautiful woman who has been hurt by her loved ones be all right for the rest of her life.
These are some of the pop songs and favorite singers I listened to when I was a student. I don't know which singers' songs accompany your ears during your student years, welcome to leave a message in the comment area below to communicate together.
