Dai Penny and Liu Yuning sang the love song "Happiness on the Street Corner", and the song was gentle and melodious, not only singing the loneliness of the night, but also showing a different warmth, as if suddenly returning to the green onion era.
Dai Penny Liu Yuning chorus love song on the hot search. In modern China, there is also a "love song prince" with an immortal sword and many golden songs, who is the "king of western songs" - Wang Luobin. Today, I will talk to you about the little story of this legend.
In terms of the number of songs that have been popular so far, the only person who can compete with the "song saint" Chen Dieyi; in the global cross-language singing degree, the only person who can compete with the "song immortal" Chen Gexin can be said to be the only "song king" Wang Luobin.
First of all, the "Song King" has been popular so far in the golden songs: "In that distant place", "In the silver moonlight", "Half Moon Climb Up", "Lift Your Hijab", "The Girl of Dabancheng", "Alam Khan", "Youth Dance"...
Let's talk about the international influence of his works. Chen Gexin's "Rose Rose I Love You", the "Song Immortal" in China's modern music history, was only transmitted abroad in the 1950s and translated into English, but our "Song King" Wang Luobin's "In That Distant Place" was translated and performed abroad as early as 1947! Translating and performing "In That Far Away" was the black American singer: Paul Robertson.
In 1952, the Soviet tenor Bebtov performed another version.
Diana Ross, the most successful female singer in American history, and two of the world's three tenors: Domingo and Carreras, have sung Wang Luobin's "In That Far Away Place" as the finale track.

Among them, Carreras is like a respectful primary school student in front of the "Western Song King", and every time he sings for fear of mistakes, he must read the lyrics "Small Copy"!
So what does this original mysterious lyrics look like, the signature of our "King of the West"? I really found it -
The song was composed in 1939! The earliest singer is also the singer of the previous chapter "Song Immortal" Chen Gexin's "Rose Rose I Love You", and Yao Li, one of the "Seven Songs of Shanghai Beach".
What's even more amazing is that this song actually saved the life of Wang Luobin himself! In 1941, Wang Luobin was imprisoned in Lanzhou by Kuomintang agents for propagating the War of Resistance. Who knew that ma Bufang, the warlord of the northwest at that time and the "King of Qinghai", knew about it. He said that Wang Luobin's "In That Distant Place" was sung throughout the country, which was the pride of the people of Qinghai, and he wanted people to know that there was a Wang Luobin in Qinghai Province, so he rescued the "King of Songs" and released him from prison on bail!
"In That Distant Place" was also chosen as an interlude from one of the greatest films of Chinese history, Director Fei Mu's Spring in a Small Town.
It is said that in the 1950s, there was a little girl in Taiwan who especially loved to sing "In That Distant Place". Later, she married a Spaniard and taught him to sing in Spanish; the two of them traveled to the Sahara with the waves and sang in the desert; and then she traveled thousands of miles to the mainland and met the "King of Songs" himself, which gave rise to a good story. Her name is Sanmao. (Zihua)
