This is one of the most beautiful albums in all of Zhang Guorong's Chinese albums. Originally only expected zhou Zhiping's addition to make the songs more warm and better listening to the popular pulse of the Taiwanese Chinese market, I did not expect Zhang Guorong to take the opportunity to play the deep character of his voice, and most of the Chinese versions adapted from Cantonese hit songs have become like a little more soul. Producers: Zhang Guorong, Yang Qiaoxing, Zhou Zhiping, Liang Rongjun.
01. Refuse to play again
Original music: (1987.04) Safety Ground - Shiretei
Cantonese: (1987.08) Refused to play again
Music: Koji Tamaki
Lyricist: Doll
Arrangement: Tang Yicong
Wawa King, stage name Doll, was born on October 4, 1964 in Gangshan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, and formed the Qiuqiu Choir with friends in 1981 as the lead singer. Joining Xinge Records, his debut album "Just Tonight" was published in 1982, and the song of the same name and "Why Dream of Him" were popular all over the streets. Since then, the doll has been listed as the first female singer in Taiwan. In 1984, the Hill Hill Choir disbanded, and dolls completed their debut solo album "Green Water Droplets" with the help of friends. The song of the same name is the first dance song "Secret in the Heart" that was included in disco in the Taiwanese Chinese. Released in August 1991, the album "Heavy Rain" is a work of the doll's successful transformation. As they grew older, dolls changed from rock women and rebellious women to mature, affectionate urban women. "Across the Ocean to See You" is from Li Zongsheng's brilliant pen, and other participants in the creation are Wang Xinlian, Chen Guanxuan, Luo Hongwu, Zhang Hongliang, and many outstanding musicians.
After putting on the mask, I clung to the footsteps of the wind, (I drove the wind, I rushed forward) and sped through the city, finding my own path,
In this city, there are rules of the game to read, (this do not do that can not be said) I must be careful, afraid of falling into the trap and suffering.
In this way, I like to walk the eight-way road, and just like that, I scream until the end of the game, refusing to play again (no longer playing) and not repeating the same mistake.
In the urban jungle, I chased and was chased, (sometimes to advance, sometimes to escape) tired of running, I decided to be a traitor,
Regardless of my success or fame, nothing can stop me, and I can no longer feel the bondage in my arrogant posture.

The older brothers and sisters all love music, the eldest sister loves rock, the second sister loves classical, the brother loves folk songs, the third sister loves Huangmei tune, and the different loves of the older brothers and sisters gave Zhou Zhiping's initial musical enlightenment, giving him the opportunity to contact a variety of different styles of music forms. When he graduated from high school, just as campus folk songs swept the Taiwan campus, playing guitar became a fashion for students to chase, Zhou Zhiping of course could not stay out of the degree, under the guidance of his brother, he learned to play guitar. From this time on, because of the initial contact with the guitar, Zhou Zhiping began to write some songs. He was eighteen years old. Soon, his debut novel "Midusa" was sold to Gao Lingfeng for three thousand yuan. Despite the low price, he was excited because for a newcomer like him, as long as he could publish his work, he could win a chance to succeed.
Close your eyes and turn off the lights, look back at this part of the journey, see how many hardships there were yesterday today, you are still with me,
Once confused in the heart, hidden in the dark corner, it is you who lead me out of loneliness, with all your love and tenderness,
If I can walk through this love again, I am willing to reunite with you, at the end of the long night,
Can you let me be in another world, wake up and still see you, let me have the tenderness of this life in the next life,
The long wind and rain road, with you in my heart, walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, let you and I spend together,
How many sorrows in the world have become the clouds of yesterday, and the past has fallen into dreams, all composed into the most beautiful songs.

The only Cantonese song on the album. It was first included on Cheung's Summer Romance '87 album, released in August 1987. "Heartless Sleep" is the main single of the album "Summer Romance" released by Zhang Guorong after joining "New Yibao". In 1987, Guo Xiaolin, who had just returned to Hong Kong, suddenly received a call from Chen Shufen one day, saying that Zhang Guorong wanted to ask him to write songs, so he made an appointment to meet at the Peninsula Hotel. Generally such work meeting singers are attended by the agent, to Guo Xiaolin's surprise, Zhang Guorong also came that day, and specially arranged a private room for everyone to eat and talk. Chen Shufen wanted to find a special song for Zhang Guorong to participate in the Japanese music season later, and it would completely subvert the previous style, so Guo Xiaolin created this rhythmic "Heartless Sleep".
Melancholy rushed to the cold day, knocked down every little raindrop, opened the mouth like a lifebuoy, and experimented with the sourness and sweetness of the rain. Roll up your beloved cigarette, touch the cushions on the soles of your feet, drunk and heartbroken,
Woo, Mindless Sleep, Woo, Brain Wars.
Stepping on your feet to miss you yesterday, the night is oozing with the past, if you can see it tomorrow, let me be warm in my arms. Melancholy rushing to the cold sky, living in my heart, always only you can, so that the heart that has passed away is sweeter.

Chen Yuzhen has written many famous lyrics, such as "A Cut of Plum", "Flowers in the Water", and "Meet and Hate Late". Chen Yuzhen was an exclusive lyricist for PolyGram in the early days, and was fortunate to start writing professional lyrics because a lyric was appreciated by the record company, when she wrote the Chinese version of the lyrics of "Flowers in the Water" for Tan Yonglin, as well as many songs by Jacky Cheung and Beyond. There are many forms of the doll's lyric writing style, from the works of the early classical mood to the modern love themes of recent years, and even the lyrics that match the R&B style, the dolls are handy. The doll in the text is never ostentatious, and she is equally peaceful and thin in life, does not love sports, does not love to go out, does not want to be "too successful", only wants to make music "until it cannot be done", and the industry she most wants to engage in is "to be a lazy person".
I searched, searched for many years, but I could no longer find my lost shadow, that is I was my past, lost unintentionally, slowly became a kind of miss, that shadow, once around me, embracing, my joy and sorrow, that shadow, some truth and some nothingness, I don't understand, how much attachment I have to him,
When I was separated, I had forgotten what excuse I used to leave him in the dark, I wanted to get more freedom, when I was separated, there was not much reluctance in my heart, my world would change, I was tired of my shadow, and long after, when I glanced back, only he made me miss.

Life is, the extension of dreams, dreams are faint, there are faint tears, where to go, looking for the direction of my heart, the wind and gloom sigh in the dream, the road and people are vast.
The road on earth, the happy young man, in that rugged, rugged look at the sun, in the red dust, how many directions of happiness, a trace of wind and rain like a dream, the road is vast with people.
