In the 1970s, the pop music scenes in Hong Kong and Taiwan were almost simultaneous, and the development route was similar, Hong Kong copied Europe and the United States, and Taiwan imitated Japan.
Divergence points emerged in the 80s. Hong Kong continues the "Sinicization" route of foreign songs, but the goal has changed from Europe and the United States to Japan; Taiwan has given birth to a group of singer-songwriters who are committed to originality and talent, and the music scene has burst with amazing vitality.
The first of these is Luo Dayou, known as the "godfather" of popular music. Luo Dayou's position in the Chinese music scene is undisputed and unshakable, and he is the well-deserved first person in Chinese. The "Heavenly King", "Queen of Heaven", "God of Song", and "Saint of Words" advocated in Hong Kong were all vulnerable in front of Lao Luo.
Luo Dayou is fond of Chinese pop music, and does not dare to say "no queen" but at least "unprecedented". His works have become the strongest voice in the 8090 era, and the excellent coordination of songwriting and arrangement has made countless music fans creep to the ground and worship them as gods.
On the one hand, Luo Dayou's greatness stems from his unusual musical genius, on the other hand, from his keen social insight and his uncompromising heart that dares to speak up for the people. Some people say that Luo Dayou is a "social conscience that is always beating."
This sentence may have an exaggerated component, but if it has to be used on which star, it is really Luo Dayou.
In the more than 40 years since his debut, Luo Dayou has done many sensational things, the most classic is the 2004 Little Dome concert, Luo Dayou of course 23,000 people cut the US passport that has been used for 12 years!
Friends who have some understanding of Hong Kong and Taiwan culture know that Taiwan's little dome, Hong Kong Hung Hom, was once a concert "holy place" in the eyes of stars, and it is only when concerts can be held in these two venues that Hong Kong and Taiwan can stand.
Hung Hom can accommodate 12,500 people and the Little Dome 23,000 people, and Luo Dayou opens in these two places casually, and the field is full.
In 2004, Luo Dayou's concert opened to the little dome, and when he was singing, he suddenly asked his assistant to take his American passport and cut it to pieces in front of 23,000 people.
This move immediately caused fans to scream, and the audience was excited to shout "Big You, Jinla"! Luo Dayou was even more domineering: I am so afraid! I'm as timid as a rat!"
Some people don't understand, how can a sentence that is obviously very "instigated" be said to be "domineering"? In fact, Dayou's sentence has another meaning and cannot be understood literally.
Luo Dayou's words really mean that "I am very bold" and "I dare not fight Iraq." The background of this matter is known to many people, if you don't know, please search for yourself.
Luo Dayou is such a person, if you let him personally suffer some losses, he may not say a word, but when he rises to the national level, he must speak about the people's livelihood. Some people are just the opposite of Luo Dayou, and when they see that the situation is not good, they immediately run away at any time with their "passport in hand", and there are too many such people.
