Last night (December 31st), Taiwanese Ami singer Dick Cowboy appeared at the Beijing Satellite TV New Year's Eve concert, singing "Great China" with Jia Nailiang, not only proudly singing the lyrics of "We all have a home, the name is China", but also shouting excitedly at the end of the singing: "China, bless you!" ”
As a result, this scene spread to Taiwan, and the Taiwan media lamented that "I haven't seen it for a long time, and then I saw it at the New Year's Eve party on the other side", and emphasized the "Ami" identity of Dick Cowboy. Some Taiwan netizens collapsed after watching it, shouting that "the aborigines are authentic Taiwanese, how did they become like this", "the ancestral spirit wept", and as a result, they were rebuffed by other netizens on the island: There is a saying that the ancestors of the Ami ethnic group came from the mainland, "Don't be sour if you can't earn it, look at Taiwan's New Year's Eve is getting more and more shabby every year."
The 62-year-old Taiwanese rock singer Dick Cowboy, whose real name is Lin Jinzhang, nicknamed "Daddy", was born in Kaohsiung and is an Ami ethnic group, and has been debuting for 25 years. He was initially famous for his cover song "How Much Love Can Come Back", and later released songs such as "Thirty Thousand Feet", "Let Go to Love", "Forget Me or Forget Him", and his masterpieces are still loved by many fans. In recent years, his focus has shifted to the mainland.
On the evening of December 31, 2021, the long-lost Dick Cowboy took the stage of the Beijing Satellite TV New Year's Eve Gala with his trademark long thick hair, and the 62-year-old maintained his state quite well, singing two songs "Great China" and "Thirty Thousand Feet" with actor Jia Nailiang in one breath.
When performing "Great China", Dick Cowboy showed a high-pitched singing voice and proudly sang lyrics such as "We all have a home, the name is China" and "China, bless you, you will always be in my heart; China, bless you, no thousand words and ten thousand words" and other lyrics.
At the end of the song, Jia Nailiang and Dick Cowboy shouted "China, come on" and "China, bless you" to the camera.
When the news spread to Taiwan, some Taiwan media reported that "Ami singer Lu Sang new year's eve, long lost frozen age appeared: we have a family named China", and also said "I haven't seen him for a long time!" See again at the New Year's Eve party on the other side."
This kind of title, which emphasizes its Ami identity, has indeed attracted a large number of "acid people". Some Taiwan netizens cried out, "For the sake of the renminbi, zu ling wept," and also shouted that "if you have the ambition not to return to Taiwan," "it is recommended that the 'Taiwan Indigenous Nationalities Committee' cancel his welfare," and some people even shouted that Hualien County has money to ask Luo Zhixiang not to be able to afford this person.
Interestingly, under the sound of some doubts, the recoil of other Taiwan netizens is more eye-catching.
Some Taiwan netizens mentioned that one theory says that Taiwan's indigenous people passed by the mainland.
Some of the replies are more heartfelt: "More is that the mainland can't earn it and has to stay in Taiwan", "Don't be sour if you can't earn it, look at Taiwan's New Year's Eve is getting more and more shabby every year"...
According to public information, the Ami are a branch of the Taiwan alpine tribe, with a total population of more than 210,000, which is the largest number of indigenous people in Taiwan, and its song and dance culture is the richest, and the Ami people are also the tallest among the indigenous people of all ethnic groups in Taiwan.
According to China Net, there are different theories about the origin of the Ami tribe, but more and more research has found that the ancestors of taiwan's mountain tribe migrated from the mainland to Taiwan. In addition, according to the data of the Taiwan authorities, the residents of the Taiwan region are still mainly Han Chinese, and Han Chinese people account for about 96.45% of the total population of the island.
In recent years, Dick Cowboy's focus has shifted to the mainland, and he often shows his pride as a Chinese on Weibo, and will also cheer for the motherland at special moments.
In June 2021, he also posted a photo of himself receiving the Kexing vaccine in the mainland and wrote "Vaccinated with the second dose, gratitude, pride".
This week, Dick Cowboy also praised a Weibo post titled "Cross-Strait Reunification Is Imperative to Welcome Taiwan Compatriots Home."
