Xiangjiang Qunyin's Downstream Countercurrent • Cai Guoquan

Cai Guoquan now has no news, and it is impossible to understand how his condition has recovered, even whether he is alive or dead. It is no wonder that in this high-speed society, everything is quickly forgotten, not to mention the "old man" who was 30 years ago.

Life is like a ferry, whether it is downstream or countercurrent, a few can not get more, all by Providence, will always return with melancholy, the dream is gray, no longer able to decorate.

Cai Guoquan is like this, and so am I.

(i)

Most of the introduction of Cai Guoquan is vague, after all, he was half red and not purple, and later he completely disappeared after suffering disasters, and received very little attention.

I can only make a rough summary of his life before entering the music scene with just a few words.

Cai Guoquan was born on December 26, 1953, and some say that his birthplace is Hong Kong, and some say zhuhai, Guangdong.

He attended marino's high school and was a fifth-year graduate of the school's 3rd class in 1971. During his time in school, Cai Guoquan, who was familiar with singing and sang well, was a prominent figure, but any performance project was indispensable to him.

After graduating from middle school, Cai Guoquan entered the society and worked in banks and hotels (some sources say that he went to college, majored in accounting, and later worked in an advertising agency, but could not be verified). However, he did not like this boring and stereotyped life, in his heart, he has always been obsessed with singing, so he formed an underground band. Cai Guoquan's expertise in electronic organs, guitars and compositions may have been cultivated at this stage.

Around 1980, Cai Guoquan, introduced by a friend, met the famous manager LAL DAYARAN. LAL DAYARAN, Portuguese, known as LAL Ye, Chinese named Lin Zhenye, single-handedly discovered Xu Guanjie's The Lotus (Lotus) band, Teddy Robin 's Teddy Robin & The Playboys (Teddy Robin and Playboy) Band, etc., nearly 90% of the famous Hong Kong bands in the 60s, all of which were managers by LAL Grandpa, he also managed new art treasures, artistic dynamic music, and worked as a consultant for rolling stones, praising Teresa Teng, Chen Shuhua, Faye Wong, Zhang Huimei and other superstars.

It can be seen that LAL's vision is very unique, he recognizes people very accurately, and after contacting Cai Guoquan, he found that he has great potential and is suitable for development in the music world, so he signed a contract with him soon after. LAL is confident that he wants to praise the red Cai Guoquan.

Until many years, LAL Grandpa talked about the singer he handled, saying that the "most satisfied" was Cai Guoquan. This can be understood as the satisfaction of making a person with an ordinary appearance, low profile, and no star temperament into a singer, and can also be understood as Cai Guoquan has left many famous songs in the song world, which have been passed down to this day, making him satisfied and satisfied.

LAL became cai Guoquan's manager, and was not in a hurry to help him make a record, but first arranged for him to do some performances, such as participating in amateur singing performances in 1981 to attract popularity, and sure enough, people left an impression and interest in this Sven-wen, beautiful singing man. At the same time, Cai Guoquan received a lot of advertising songs to practice, and wrote some popular advertising songs, such as Coca-Cola.

With the relationship between LAL and Poly Gold, Cai Guoquan naturally joined Baoji smoothly.

In 1982, LAL and Polygram felt the time was ripe to produce their first self-titled album for Choi. This album gives full play to Cai Guoquan's creative skills, and among the 12 songs, he composes and composes two songs ("The Arrangement of the Heavens", "Should No Longer Hesitate"), and composes 4 songs ("Needles under the Sea", "My Heart Is Not Cold", "Examination Examination", "Accidental").

Debut self-titled album

In the album, there is a work that is not Cai Guoquan, but to focus on, it is "Childhood".

Yes, this "Childhood" is the "Childhood" created by Luo Dayou and sung by Zhang Aijia, which was re-filled by Huang Xia and changed to the Cantonese version.

It is said that Huang Xia was very satisfied with the version of "Childhood" he filled in, and planned to use it to compete for the best lyrics award of the year, but was extinguished by Lin Yanni's words. Lin Yanni said this: No matter how well you write, there is still a suspicion of rewriting and writing. Huang Xia listened, thought it was reasonable, and sent "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water" to participate in the evaluation.

Later, Huang Xia slowly tasted it and found that Luo Dayou's Chinese version was better, so in "Tonight No Defense", in front of Luo Dayou, he sighed to himself.

In 1982, Tan Yonglin held a golden song concert, and the guest was Cai Guoquan.

In this move, Poly Gold deliberately arranged the ingredient of "bringing the old to the new and recommending new people", but also let Tan Yonglin and Cai Guoquan get together, so that the names of the two often appear together.

Cai Guoquan can not create, well, hurry up to write a song for Tan Yonglin, show your talent, it is best for the two to sing together, and you can improve your fame. Thus, in 1983, "Energetic Grass in the Wind", composed by Cai Guoquan, was born and included in Tan Yonglin's "Late Spring" album. This song sung by Tan and Cai has become an inspirational classic.

Since then, Cai Guoquan has created as many as ten songs for Tan Yonglin so far, including "Light up the red light", "Create Destiny", "Ask", "Parting Heart Song", "Help Me Deceive Me", "Live Dashingly", "Don't Treat You So Well", "Spit Out the Truth After Drinking", etc., until the year before his accident (2001), he also wrote "Give Back" and "Sunset Time" for Tan Yonglin.

Tam Wing Lin repaid the peach and took good care of Cai Guoquan, and invited him as a guest of honor many times, such as the 1985 Super Platinum Concert and the 2000 Performing Arts Academy Birthday Party. He was also called "Vice Principal" on the show. When Cai Guoquan had an accident, he actively contributed to help him tide over the difficulties.

Cai Guoquan and Tan Yonglin are not only the same goal, but also musical collaborators, and ball friends. Cai Guoquan loves to play football, plays as a right-back in the Hong Kong star football team, don't look at him polite, excellent physical strength, playing two halves without problems. However, there are too many stars in the team, they have to perform, can not allow him to play the whole field, when off the field, he will find some interesting things, such as a ball game, Luo Jiaying jumped high to compete for the top of the ball, but saw two black shadows flying to the goal at the same time, the goalkeeper was difficult to distinguish for a while, took one of them into his arms, the referee whistle sounded, the ball was scored! The goalkeeper looked at the object he had caught, and it turned out to be Luo Jiaying's wig.

Cai Guoquan revealed that he has always wanted to hold concerts with Tan Yonglin, but unfortunately, this wish may be difficult to achieve.

To tell the truth, Cai Guoquan to Tan Yonglin to create a song, there is no big hit, far less than the classic written for other singers, probably Tan Yonglin temperament, you write what I sing, the requirements are not high, if he is as rigorous as Xu Xiaofeng, it is not sure that Cai Guoquan will be forced to contribute a song "Down the Current".

In 1983, Cai Guoquan released his second album "Sing in Your Ear", which still covered half of the compositions, including the composition of "Who Sings in My Ear", which won the first place in the Dragon and Tiger Chart of radio Chinese songs in Hong Kong, becoming his first champion song. At the same time, this song and another song, "Cold and Proud like Ice", were selected as the third quarter and fourth quarter golden songs of the top ten golden songs held for the first time.

In August, Cai Guoquan, Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong and others participated in the filming of the TVB variety show "Weekend Laser Crazy Games". The shooting period coincided with the rainy season, and the venue was on the softball field, and several people were not only all wet, but also had muddy feet. Although it was hard work, Cai Guoquan had no complaints, because he knew that for newcomers, it was lucky to have such an opportunity to show his face.

In 1984, Cai Guoquan continued to develop in the entertainment industry.

That year, he and Mui Yanfang, Lei Anna, Mai Jiewen, Hong Kong Tigers and other newcomers, co-organized a "Famous Song Dragon and Tiger List Concert"; and recorded TVB's "Summer Swing into New Areas" program with Zhang Guorong, Jiang Liping, etc., vowing to spread "youth breath to your home" (slogan); in November, together with Mak Jiewen, Chen Jieling, cai Fenghua stepped on "Happy Tonight", others talked and laughed freely, but he was slightly shy.

Perhaps only in the field of music can Cai Guoquan find self-confidence. That year, he released his third album", "Goodbye Maybe No More", and the song of the same name won the Dragon and Tiger Chart again.

This new star in the world of singing and composing is rising and will reach its peak in the next year.

As mentioned earlier, Cai Guoquan was forced out of "Down the Current and Countercurrent" by Xu Xiaofeng, what happened?

It is said that around 1984, Xu Xiaofeng issued an invitation to Cai Guoquan to ask for a song. How Sister Xiaofeng noticed Cai Guoquan, I don't know, it may be that Guan Zhengjie, who jumped from Baolijin to Kang Yichengyin this year, recommended to her: "Sister (Xu Xiaofeng is three months older than Guan Zhengjie), I tell you, Baolijin has a young guy, the song is very good, you should find him to try." The year before, Cai Guoquan wrote a "Detailed Description of Love" to Guan Zhengjie, which made a deep impression on Guan Zhengjie, who was full of righteousness, into a "love saint".

It is also possible that Xu Xiaofeng himself discovered Cai Guoquan's talent. Xiao Fengjie's song path, mainly in the minor key, naturally pay attention to this style of songs on the song world, it is also strange, Cai Guoquan was born in the band, but he has a lot of achievements in the folk song minor, the first three albums of "should no longer hesitate", "cold and proud like ice", "Goodbye may no longer be" are such, rich application of national instruments, creating a quaint atmosphere, coupled with beautiful lyrics, affectionate interpretation, good guys, very beautiful. If Sister Xiaofeng hears it, she must like it, so she asks him to write songs. Later, Cai Guoquan's minor key songs went to a higher level, "Miao", "Don't Decorate Your Dreams", "Pile Dreams", "Human Wall", "Providence of People's Hearts", the first wonderful. Nowadays, this kind of song is popular, and is called "Chinese style" or "ancient style", forgive the old, simply do not know what to appreciate.

It is also possible that it was PolyGram who introduced it to him. For this big sister in the music world, BaoLijin has been coveted for a long time, and with more than a year to go, Xu Xiaofeng will expire his contract with Kang Yichengyin, please it in advance, and increase the chips for the next robbery war. This move sold both human affection and strength, and achieved more in one fell swoop. In 1986, Xu Xiaofeng joined Poly Gold, and Bao remembered to fulfill his wishes.

Of course, the above is all speculation. But no matter what the situation, Cai Guoquan is extremely excited, you think, what a glory to be able to serve such a big singer, goddess, and idol as Xiao Fengjie.

However, he is also worried, this song will be placed in Xu Xiaofeng's upcoming "New Song Collection 3", the first two of the "New Song Collection", well-made, exquisitely packaged, high-quality, the birth of such classics as "Star Question", "Caprice", "Starlight's Back", "Three Points and Seven Points", "Dusk Cattle Herding" and "Love Than Rain", "Wind Road", "Telephone" and other classics. If he writes badly, it will inevitably affect the quality of the album, and let Xiao Fengjie look down on it, which is absolutely humiliating.

Xiangjiang Qunyin's Downstream Countercurrent • Cai Guoquan

Under this pressure, Cai Guoquan did everything in his power to brush and write eight songs for Xu Xiaofeng to choose, and none of them satisfied Xu Xiaofeng and returned them all.

Cai Guoquan was dumbfounded, he had heard that Sister Xiaofeng was picky, and many people were afraid to write songs for her, which was really difficult to serve. This instead inspired his fighting spirit, shook his spirits, and spent a week writing eight more poems to offer.

"Down the Current" is in this eight works. This song can be said to be tailor-made for Xu Xiaofeng, who has experienced peaks and valleys since his art, tasted the cold and warm in the circle, always calmly and calmly, sees through the gains and losses, and shows the true colors of a generation of songs. Of course, there is also a personal figure of Cai Guoquan in the song, the road of music has come to the present, grievances and bitterness are inevitable, but the results are not great, so I encourage myself to go up against the current and stick to it as before.

Sure enough, this song was taken by Xu Xiaofeng at a glance, and he liked it greatly, that's it!

In May 1985, with the release of "New Song Collection 3", "Down the Current" was sung in the streets. This song has become Xu Xiaofeng's most representative song, and she said that it is her glory to be able to personally pick out this song. In 1989, Xu Xiaofeng won the Golden Needle Award, which she divided among several musicians who wrote songs for her, one of whom was Cai Guoquan.

"Down the Current" won the 1985 Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award, and Cai Guoquan also won the Best Chinese (Pop) Lyrics Award. That year's top ten Chinese golden songs, seven of the adapted songs, and the songwriter was only "Down the Current", so it was particularly precious, and Cai Guoquan shined.

After "Down the Current", Cai Guoquan successively created "Winter", "Notes", "Warm Currents of the Xiangjiang River", "A Certain Night", "A Strand of Love" and "His Own Role" for Xu Xiaofeng. Through cooperation, the two formed a deep friendship.

1985 was the most brilliant year of Cai Guoquan's musical career.

In addition to the great success of "Down the Current and Countercurrent" created for Xu Xiaofeng, it has also achieved a number of achievements.

In the same year, he released three albums in a row: the album "Love You For a Lifetime" at the beginning of the year, the song of the same name was nominated for the Golden Melody Season (1985) together with "Heartless Fast Talk" and "The Visit of the Face", and "Heartless Fast Talk" won the first place in the RTHK Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger Chart; then the "Warm Currents in the Wind" album, which gave birth to the legendary work "Don't Decorate Your Dreams", some people commented on this song: Broken heartache, a little string and a buckle, Cai Gong masterpiece, and then there is no right; finally, a "Cai Guoquan Selection" , sales reached platinum, "Love Puppet" won the first place in the dragon and tiger list.

On May 11 and 12, Choi held two concerts at the Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai, and the response was good. This time, he also brought the old to the new, and the guest was Lin Shanshan of Warner.

In addition to singing, Cai Guoquan also dabbled in the film and television field, playing roles in the movie "Counterfeit Thief" and "My Eros", especially in "My Eros", after a male lead addiction, acting skills are not good or not to comment, at least with Ye Tong to have a lot of fun.

"My God of Love"

At the end of the year, Cai Guoquan participated in the TVB Taiqing and appeared as a singer honor guard, which shows that its weight at that time was not low.

According to this development, Cai Guoquan seems to have a bright future, and stepping into a line is just around the corner, however, unexpectedly, his scenery stopped here, and then he did not advance and retreat.

Cai Guoquan continues to work hard in the music world, basically every year there are new albums released, but also created and sang "Human Wall", "Starry Night", "The Last Ferry", "Breaking Through the Waves", "Heaven and Earth", "Create My Song", "Miss You for a Century", "Providence of The Heart" and other excellent works, but always singers are not popular, it is difficult to go to a higher level.

Xiangjiang Qunyin's Downstream Countercurrent • Cai Guoquan

The reason has a lot to do with his personality.

Cai Guoquan is low-key, introverted, and not good at competition. He is rarely sociable, taciturn, not smiling, usually likes to read books, watch movies, novels, essays, poetry do not refuse, science fiction, action, comedy can be accepted. To what extent is Cai Guoquan low-key? Even his manager, LAL DAYARAN, didn't know about his private life, or even whether he was married or not. His best friends in the circle are only Tong Ange, Chen Jian and a few people. Chen Jianhe, Xiang Xuehuai, Xiang Xuehuai is both the supervising producer of his records, and the two are also collaborators in music, one writing lyrics and one composing music, so they committed to it. Just imagine, with his personality of being willing to be calm and at ease with the encounter, how can he get ahead in the entertainment industry?

There is also his music, the songs created by Cai Guoquan are definitely good things, but the style is slightly single, coupled with the changes of the times, young people are getting farther and farther away from the tradition, his style is affectionate, the national charm, the market is getting smaller and smaller. He also tried to change, writing the fast song "Walking with Your Hands", but unfortunately it did not work.

I have to say that his appearance has also had a certain impact on development. Cai Guoquan and Liang Zai do not match, when they debuted, they were older, and the natural fan group was mainly mature, and their popularity was definitely inferior to the idol faction, resulting in coldness. Once, Cai Guoquan and Zhong Zhentao and Jacky Cheung performed "Love Suite", several fans went on stage to offer flowers, but only gave Zhong Zhentao and Jacky Cheung, no Cai Guoquan's share, this situation is very telling.

In 1986, Zhong Zhentao's "Summer Journey" concert, Cai Guoquan and Jacky Cheung served as guests

In this way, the record company will not give it a strong support, and the awards, publicity, and resources will not be supported, and it will be too difficult to become popular. The salaries of Cai Guoquan and PolyGram are calculated on a record-by-record basis, which shows that they are not valued by Poly Gold.

In such a situation, Cai Guoquan also accepted it calmly and resolutely made a change. In the 1990s, Cai Guoquan signed a contract with TVB, and the focus of his career was on television, and in 1992, after he released the album "Hearing That Love Will Be Wonderful", he completely bid farewell to the stage, focused on the background, and wrote songs for other singers. In fact, this is also a helpless move, as mentioned above, Cai Guoquan and PolyGram's salaries are calculated according to each record, his record sales are not ideal, the income is naturally not high, and he has to rely on acting in television and behind-the-scenes production to supplement his life.

During the TVB period, from 1990 to 1996, Cai Guoquan has participated in more than ten dramas such as "Zero Point Attack", "Dragon Sky", "No. 1 Imperial Court II", "O Record" and hosted the programs of "Great River South and North" and "Huanyu Style".

At this stage, Cai Guoquan's main contribution was still creation, he wrote songs for Li Ming, Kwong Meiyun, Guan Shuyi, Li Keqin, Tang Baoru, Liu Xiaohui, Wen Bixia, etc., and even Shen Dianxia, Li Zi, Wu Qianlian, Zhang Xinzhe, etc., which can be described as a pen that has not stopped, and is more well-known, about Shuyi's "Everything Is Willing", "True and False Love Words", Wen Bixia's "Flying Flowers", Tang Baoru's "Winter Without Memories", and Peng Ling's "Like a Dream Awakening", which won the top ten Chinese songs.

In addition, Cai Guoquan excavated the newcomer Liang Jiayu (Ru Meng), but BaoLijin did not pay attention to it, resulting in a beautiful voice being buried.

In the mid-1990s, Cai Guoquan immigrated to Canada in the entertainment industry.

Although retired, Cai Guoquan was still looking for inspiration and composing, believing that writing several works that broke through the past made him rekindle his fighting spirit and decided to make a comeback in 2002, that is, the 20th anniversary of his debut.

At this time, Poly Gold has been acquired by Universal and no longer exists, but some elders still stay behind, know cai Guoquan's strength, and hear that he intends to fight in the music scene again, and expresses his willingness to cooperate.

Cai Guoquan returned to Hong Kong and prepared for the comeback, first he appeared as a guest at Zhong Zhentao's sincere walk with me concert, then came to Guangzhou to promote, and began to record a new album, which is scheduled to be released in the second half of the year or the following year. He is also actively preparing for solo concerts...

Cai Guoquan is full of ambition, and many old fans are also full of expectations. However, people are not as good as heaven, and an accident at the end of the year made all this come to an abrupt end.

On November 13, 2002, Cai Guoquan and his party of 7 people set off from Shenzhen to Zhaoqing to play, and on the way back at about 4:30 p.m., when they passed the Wudian Mei Bridge in the Dongguan section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, the off-road vehicle they were riding was out of control, broke through the wire guardrail, and overturned the Mawei Reservoir, which was about 10 meters high.

The accident caused 3 deaths and 4 injuries, and Cai Guoquan, who was sitting in the back row, although his life was saved, was seriously injured, his skull was contused, his lungs were bleeding, his chest was hemorrhagic, and he was unconscious

Cai Guoquan was first sent to Dongguan Chang'an Zhenjiekou Hospital for emergency rescue, and then transferred to Humen Yishou Mountain Villa, where the brain surgery ward of Humen Hospital was located.

After full treatment, Cai Guoquan was in a coma for more than a month before he woke up, but he left huge sequelae, and his lower body was paralyzed since then, and he also had difficulty speaking.

In order to treat the disease, Cai Guoquan spent all his savings, his wife Yu Daqing found a garment factory job for this, earned money to support the family, once appreciated by people, praised as "20 years of deep feelings do not abandon" "Cai Guoquan married his wife so fortunately" Yunyun, almost selected as a good Chinese wife who moved China.

Xiangjiang Qunyin's Downstream Countercurrent • Cai Guoquan

In 2004, Universal released Tsai's album recorded before the accident, titled Mr. Perfect. The album contains four new songs and re-arranged songs by Cai Guoquan, "Let Me Assume There Are You", "Boasting", "Flower Love", and "Mr. Perfect". The album was actually only recorded 80%, Cai Guoquan originally had many ideas to express and interpret, such as finding Huang Guanzhong to sing "Wind in the Wind", and increasing the band elements, making the album as a whole more rock, but unfortunately the disaster of heaven could not be completed. Universal then selected a few songs he composed for other singers and made them into a double disc for the market. So, this is not a complete album.

Probably affected by the release of the new album, Cai Guoquan was in a good mood, and his condition was recovering well that year, and he was able to practice playing guitar and trying to compose music for a while, which encouraged people who cared about him, thinking that in time they would be able to hear his songs and works again.

However, this hope was soon dashed, and in 2005, Cai Guoquan suffered from cerebral atrophy, the situation was not optimistic, and he needed a lot of physical therapy and similar therapy to slightly slow down his slurred speech and decline in his mobility of his limbs. Undoubtedly, this is a big expense, and yu Daqing's monthly income of thousands of yuan is simply unable to bear.

Several insiders organized two charity performances in 2006 to raise funds for Cai Guoquan.

The initiator of the charity performance is the veteran jazz drummer Shum Jinhua (Frog Ye), who has cooperated with Cai Guoquan and has a good friendship, and is strongly supported by LAL DAYARAN. LAL DAYARAN ceased to be Cai Guoquan's manager as early as the early 1990s, but after his accident, he has been taking care of his aftermath and is very righteous.

On March 26 and 27, 2006, the "Stars Gather to Care for Cai Guoquan Charity Golden Melody Night" was held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre for two consecutive nights. This schedule was originally performed for Luo Jiaying's Cantonese opera evening, and he did not hesitate to change to the Alpine Theater to give Cai Guoquan a convenience.

The evening was attended by Che Shumei and Anderson as emcees, and the guests included Guan Shuyi, Li Guoxiang, Xu Guanying, Fat Ma Maria, Hu Meiyi, Zhang Weiwen, Chen Jieling and others. There are also two people that Cai Guoquan most wants to see - Xu Xiaofeng and Tan Yonglin.

As soon as Cai Guoquan had an accident, Xu Xiaofeng expressed her concern, she kept calling for more than ten days to inquire about the situation, and she had planned to visit Humen, people were afraid of causing chaos before giving up, and she contacted local friends to take care of it.

In both charity performances, Xu Xiaofeng participated. On the first night, she sang "Down the Current", and just sang two or three sentences before she could not cry. Such a great loss of manners is rare in Xu Xiaofeng's performance, which shows that she really reveals her true feelings. This scene also moved Cai Guoquan to tears.

Xu Xiaofeng and Cai Guoquan hugged each other and wept

After singing, Xu Xiaofeng laughed at herself as the guest who sang the most ugly, and then recalled cai Guoquan's experience of composing "Down the Current" for her, thanked her for writing this good song, and praised Cai Guoquan for not being afraid of hurting her self-esteem and having a professional spirit after retiring from the song.

The next night, Xu Xiaofeng adjusted his mood, talked and laughed, made Cai Guoquan happy, and met to wait for him to be well, and the first song he made must be sung by her.

Tam Wing Lin appeared in the second charity performance.

As soon as Cai Guoquan's treatment improved after the accident, Tan Yonglin and Li Keqin and others went to the nursing home to visit him to show their concern. Before the "Stars Gather to Care for Cai Guoquan Charity Golden Melody Night" was held, Tan Yonglin's father Tan Jiangbai died, and the principal was busy handling the aftermath, but still came to draw the sword to help, with affection and righteousness.

As for some guests who failed to help on the spot, they brought checks to support Cai Guoquan, like Peng Ling, who donated 100,000 yuan.

The charity performance raised a total of 1.6 million yuan, throwing aside the expenses, and there were still 600,000 to 700,000 yuan left, which should be able to solve Cai Guoquan's temporary urgency. But soon, the news came that he was "abandoned" by his family to a nursing home in Ciyun Mountain, and he also cried to the reporter who came to interview: "I will give up!" I want to die! Everyone immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and scolded the "good wife" Yu Daqing, who had previously been praised, to the point of being unfinished, lamenting that "husband and wife were originally forest birds, and they flew separately when the great trouble came."

Cai Guoquan and his wife

In 2008, when Cai Guoquan received the "Regeneration Society Outstanding Life Award", he confirmed that Yu Daqing rarely visited him in the nursing home, or even contacted him.

In 2010, after 7 years, the court made a trial and ruled that the accident driver Chen Huaxian was 80% responsible for the car accident and Cai Guoquan himself was 20% responsible. Yu Daqing appeared at the right time and claimed 20 million yuan from Chen Huaxian.

So far, Cai Guoquan has been living in a nursing home. It is said that although there are people in the hospital who take care of everything, Cai Guoquan has great self-esteem and often has to do it himself - he tries to cut his nails, cut until his fingers bleed, causing several fingers to be wrapped in gauze; he tries to go to the toilet on his own, but sometimes he can't move in time, the feces and urine are excreted in his pants, the staff gives him diapers, he will lose his temper and push it away, feeling that his dignity is damaged.

Cai Guoquan, as always, rarely communicates with people, does not like to talk with other elderly people, and relies on reading books to pass the time, and loves Jin Yong the most.

There are many heroes and good men in the Golden Book who ended in tragedy, and I don't know how Cai Guoquan felt when he read their stories.

For a long time, there are still fans who remember Cai Guoquan and sometimes go to the nursing home to inquire, which is the only place he can comfort.

As for the current situation of Cai Guoquan, there is no news. Maybe no news, is the best news.

And whether it is a downstream or a countercurrent, it will eventually be washed away with time.
