Text, Editors / Where the south wind blows
As an indispensable entertainment item in our lives, wherever there are people, there will be music.
But looking at today's music scene, not only are there not many singers, but the songs are also rapidly dimming after setting off a trend.
Compared with the era of the last century, when songs could only be played on tape, people can't help but sigh.
It is precisely because there were few entertainment projects at that time that many excellent songs all hit the hearts of listeners.
Maybe it's jealousy of talent, or maybe it's red face, although the songs they sing have survived to this day.
But their departure is both a loss for fans and a big hurt to the music scene.....
And the following 7 singers have all been popular and recognized by the audience.
1. Teresa Teng
"Sweet honey, sweet honey of your laugh ...."
For fans on the mainland, the most regrettable thing is that Teresa Teng has never been able to set foot on this soil.
And for Teresa Teng, not being able to come here may also be her biggest regret.
Once upon a time, Teresa Teng used her natural voice to make her the first generation of sweet girls in the country popular throughout Asia with her song "Sweet Honey".
Although the mainland was in a special era at that time, it still could not prevent Teresa Teng's voice from quickly spreading throughout the Chinese-speaking world.
Even if you can only hear a sweet and attractive female voice on the radio, it will all shake people's hearts that have been imprisoned for a long time.
But fate is always so unexpected, and her life can be described as both brilliant and short.
On the night of May 8, 1995, a sudden news came that was unacceptable to everyone, a generation of goddess Teresa Teng died unexpectedly due to asthma.
And her achievements, as the lyricist Zhuang Nu said:
"There is no one before and no one after, before Teresa Teresa, there is no Teresa Teresa, and after Teresa Teng leaves, there will be no more Teresa Teresa."
Even if she died young, "The Voice of Nature" and "Classic Goddess", Teresa Teng is still the only idol in most people's hearts.
2. Anita Mui
Anita Mui was born in Hong Kong in 1963, and she was one of the four superstars of the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s.
With his unique voice and skillful singing skills, he has won the love of many listeners.
"Woman Flower", "Sunset Song", "Bad Girl" and so on are Anita Mui's masterpieces.
But in 2003, when she appeared on her last concert, she didn't know that this was her farewell ceremony to the world.
Prior to this, Anita Mui had announced her condition under the camera, and she said that she did not have a malignant tumor and would not die.
But she did not disclose the painful process of cancer, but chose to fight fate herself.
But the truth is that Anita Mui lied, and her life was less than a few months away.
At the concert, Anita Mui showed her best side, but under the gorgeous exterior, it was her bleeding body.
In the end, Anita Mui's "Sunset Song" seemed to be saying goodbye to the audience.
Looking back now, Anita Mui has passed away for nearly 20 years, but her singing voice has always infected the world.
3. Leslie Cheung
"I haven't done anything bad in my life, why is this?"
On April 1, 2003, Leslie Cheung fell from the 24th floor of the hotel due to uncontrolled depression and died at the age of 46.
Perhaps many people know him from the play, what is the crazy He Baorong, the gentle and weak Ning Caichen.
But in fact, Leslie Cheung, who officially debuted in 1977, is one of the iconic figures of Cantopop music, and representative songs include "The Love of the Year", "I", "The Wind Continues to Blow" and so on.
and "Monica", the first Chinese hit in the Hong Kong music scene, which also won the top ten golden songs and the top ten powerful golden songs.
He not only successfully held his own concerts, but also used his musical literacy to make Cantonese, a local dialect, popular throughout Southeast Asia.
After bidding farewell to the music industry in 1989 and choosing to go to the film and television industry, the movie "Farewell My Concubine" starring him, "A Fei Zheng" is still a classic.
But just when the outside world unanimously believes that Leslie Cheung's career has reached its peak, his own heart is not as bright as it seems.
Now that many years have passed, Leslie Cheung's three words have not only not been forgotten, but have become more and more dazzling.
4. Cheris
"The evening breeze gently blows Penghu Bay, and the white waves chase the beach..."
Sheris is a famous singer, a national first-class actor, and a household name in the 80s of the last century.
Since she pioneered the popular singing of school songs, the light tune and gentle singing have accompanied the growth of generations of students.
"Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Walking on the Country Road", "Nine Nine Sunny Days" and so on are all representative works of Cheris.
In an era when songs were mainly distributed on tape, one of her albums "When to Meet" sold 5 million boxes when it was released, which shows its influence.
But it is such a landmark figure in the music industry, and there are many tribulations and heartaches behind Sheris.
In 1997, not long after a fierce argument with her husband Long Wenyao, Cheris felt that her mouth was a little disobedient during the meal, and slowly began to tilt her eyes.
After waiting for the hospital examination, I learned that Cheris had a cerebral infarction.
Although later she stood up and returned to the stage through the company of her husband.
But because of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the disease, until January 14, 2023, Cheris died of illness in Beijing, and his wife Long Wenyao also issued an obituary.
5. Cheng Zhi
Because of his good voice conditions, Cheng Zhi became a company singer after joining the army, and since then he has started the story of his relationship with music.
Later, after graduating from the Opera Department of the Central Conservatory of Music, Cheng Zhi also performed around the world as a Chinese artist on behalf of China and other artists.
In addition, Cheng Zhi sang well-known songs such as "In That Far Away Place" and "Walking on This High Xing'an Ridge" with his high-pitched and vast voice.
And about Cheng Zhi's voice, not only the outside world praised him, even the New York Times once praised him as follows:
"The freshest and cleanest lyric tenor I've heard in years."
In 2020, Cheng Zhi was hospitalized for acute intestinal obstruction and underwent two surgeries.
But what I never thought was that the condition was not only not controlled, but also getting more and more serious.
On March 9, 2023, the famous singer Cheng Zhi died of bowel cancer after three years of fighting the disease at the age of 77.
6. Lee Kwang-hee
As a well-known singer in China, the songs sung by Li Guangxi are still very familiar.
"Toast Song", "The Sun Comes Out with Joy", "Beijing Ode" and so on are his representative works.
Among them, the most well-known is "Toast Song".
As soon as the song was published, 1 million copies were bought in just five days, and Li Guangxi also successfully won the first Golden Record Award.
People who can make a song have a huge impact on the whole society can show how much people love Li Guangxi.
Even because of his acting career of more than 60 years, he was once praised as "evergreen in the music industry" by the audience.
In 2020, 91-year-old Li Guangxi sang "Dear China" for everyone at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Although he is full of gray hair, his radiant appearance, everyone has always thought that his physical condition is very good.
Unexpectedly, on March 13, 2022, the famous mainland singer Li Guangxi died suddenly at the age of 93.
7. Hu Baoshan
It is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, but Hu Jun's achievements are far from catching up with his father Hu Baoshan.
Influenced by his parents, Hu Baoshan has been interested in singing since he was a child, especially for some old records.
After being conscripted into the army, he became a literary soldier who could sing and dance, often bringing joy to his comrades.
With his excellent voice, in 1959, Hu Baoshan was sent to the Sofia Conservatory in Bulgaria for graduate studies due to the Sino-Bulgarian Cultural Agreement.
After returning to China, he worked as a soloist in the Haizheng Cultural Troupe, and was awarded many times for performing large-scale events.
With solid and skillful basic skills, coupled with free singing, Hu Baoshan created the song "I Love This Blue Ocean".
About this song, it can be said that it has resounded at home and abroad, and has had an extremely wide and profound impact, and the TV series "Fire Blue Blade" is based on this song.
And in 2019, he was selected as one of the "100 Excellent Songs to Celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" by the Central Propaganda Department.
But as he grew older, Hu Baoshan's body was actually detected with lymphoma.
Although he recovered well at first, in the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2019, Hu Baoshan died of illness at the age of 84.
