In the nineties of the twentieth century, the Chinese music scene was in full swing, and various types of voices emerged here.
At that time, there was such a song that was sung all over the country, and that was Gao Feng's "Great China".
29 years have passed, and this song has been popular for 29 years.
In 1998, Gao Feng took this song to the Spring Festival Gala and became popular overnight, this song became popular, and Gao Feng also became popular.
Since 2002, there has been no news of Gao Feng, he has only been popular for 4 years, and the Internet was not developed at that time, and many fans thought that he had "disappeared".
But in fact, he died as early as 2002, and his songs are still being sung after his death.
A creative genius in the Chinese music scene
Gao Feng's fame was not achieved overnight, since ancient times, the law of "the winner is king" has always played a role in various fields, especially in the highly competitive entertainment industry.
Many people have managed to break into this industry through relentless hard work and talented performances and have made their mark in a short period of time.
Gao Feng is like this, what kind of prominent family background and dazzling social status.
Before graduating, he was already "famous" because of a music competition.
Gradually, music producers and other musicians began to take the initiative to make friends with him.
Whether you say it or not, it's good to have connections.
After work, Gao Feng joined a song and dance troupe and went to be an ordinary artist, with a stable job and a stable salary.
But Gao Feng's temperament is not satisfied with this.
In 1991, with the help of a producer, Gao Feng finally got his wish and signed a contract with a Hong Kong record company and officially became a singer.
The company wanted to make him a popular idol, but Gao Feng's first album failed to achieve the expected success.
After a period of thinking and hard work, Gao Feng realized that as a singer, his advantage may not be in singing, but in creation.
After that, he terminated his contract with the company and willingly became a freelance musician, who could sing or write on his own.
During that time, he composed many of the now well-known songs, such as Huang Ge's "Spring Water Flow", which is popular and catchy.
The popularity of these works made him firmly believe that he was indeed the most suitable to take the road of "behind the scenes".
But he is also unwilling to give up as a singer who can shine on the stage.
After a long period of precipitation, Gao Feng frequently went out to collect and create, but he could not find inspiration, and finally after a long period of creative struggle, Gao Feng finally found inspiration and created a majestic song - "Great China".
Overnight, this song became popular, and Gao Feng also became popular.
That year, Gao Feng was 27 years old, although he was not young and famous, but with his persistent pursuit of music and unremitting efforts, he finally made a name for himself in the music scene.
The success of "Great China" not only allowed Gao Feng to get rid of the difficulties in life and realize his music dream, but also made him an important figure in the Chinese music scene.
In the next few years, Gao Feng successively released a number of high-quality albums, and continued to create many classic tracks for others, such as Andy Lau's "Stupid Child", "I Don't Believe in Tears", Zhang Weijian's "A Dream in a Life", Lin Yilun's "Night Fragrance" and so on.
At the peak of his career, Gao Feng was not satisfied with his immediate achievements.
In order to better improve himself, he chose to temporarily put aside his fame and fortune and went to the United Kingdom for further study to Xi learn more advanced music knowledge and skills.
Although he temporarily faded out of the public eye during his study abroad, Gao Feng's fame did not diminish because of this. After returning to China, his musical style changed significantly, and he created singles and albums that were unique and refreshing.
Stepping into the music industry by mistake
In fact, a large part of Gao Feng's musical talent comes from his father, whose original name is Zeng Yanchi, whose father Zeng Lingpeng is a famous songwriter who has left many popular works on the national stage;
Mother Lian Qiusheng is a female singer, and everyone in the local area knows it.
Gao Feng, who grew up in this environment, has been strongly influenced by art since he was a child.
Compared with his father's passion for music, Gao Feng seems to be more interested in depicting colorful worlds.
When he was in the second grade of elementary school, he also created a beautiful crayon drawing, which was fortunate enough to be featured on a television art exhibition.
This small achievement sparked his interest in art and allowed his family to see his potential.
In order to make Gao Feng better on this road, his parents specially signed him up for an art class in Wuhan.
With his outstanding professional skills and unremitting efforts, Gao Feng has performed well in school and has been rated as a "Three Good Students" for many years.
Even in the midst of intense cultural courses, he never gave up his painting ideals and always stuck to this passionate field.
As the college entrance examination approaches, Gao Feng is faced with a major choice - should he devote his future to art?
The answer is obvious.
After careful consideration, he resolutely applied for the art school, and successfully entered the Academy of Arts and Crafts, known as the "cradle of oriental design", with his excellent performance, majoring in sculpture.
In a fulfilling and busy student life, Gao Feng has not forgotten his dreams.
That experience allowed him to discover another talent of his own – music-making.
This heartfelt expression brought him endless pleasure, even beyond the pursuit of painting and sculpture.
He also realized that he could make a bigger breakthrough in the music industry.
During his university life, Gao Feng tried many interesting activities, including but not limited to sports, club participation, and travel and adventure.
These rich experiences not only allowed him to accumulate a lot of valuable life treasures, but also provided him with a steady stream of inspiration for his future music creation.
The time soon came, and an unexpected change occurred in an ordinary singing competition, completely changing the trajectory of Gao Feng's fate.
Although the scale of this competition is not large, the high praise of the judges has attracted his attention.
When they heard some of the original songs sung by Gao Feng, they were deeply moved.
Critics praised him as a talented young man, and he was awarded the title of Best Singer.
With this honor, Gao Feng officially embarked on the journey of music and embarked on the road of "musician".
has also become a "creative genius" in the entertainment industry, but how can such an excellent person have such a short journey in life?
Accidents always come without warning
There is nothing more painful in this world than the sudden loss of a loved one.
Gao Feng's body was originally healthy, and there was no warning that he would suffer from any serious illness.
He has always maintained a healthy Xi of life, and despite the intensity of his work, he has always been full of energy in front of people, and he does not look sick at all.
After recording Wanta's new album Brave New World, he began to feel fatigued, coughing incessantly, and having a fever.
At first, he thought it was just a common cold and didn't pay enough attention to it.
But the situation is not getting better, but worsening.
A few days later, Gao Feng was taken to the hospital.
After examination, doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and it was at an advanced stage.
This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, and Gao Feng's relatives and friends were stunned.
It was hard for them to believe that this outstanding young man, who had been in good spirits a few days ago, could suddenly suffer from such a serious illness.
But they also know that in the face of the fragility of life, all speculation and comments seem insignificant. At this moment, all Gao Feng needs is the support of his family and friends.
Gao Feng's parents waited by his bedside day and night.
His sister also rushed back from the United States to help her family take care of her and seek medical treatment.
The disease is getting worse faster than anyone could have imagined.
Within just a week, Gao Feng's situation began to decline sharply.
He was eventually transferred to the intensive care unit, but even then, his condition did not improve. This is undoubtedly a double whammy for the family.
Gao Feng's relatives had to watch helplessly at the bedside as his life passed by little by little, and there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, in the entertainment industry, various theories about Gao Feng's illness and cause of death also spread rapidly on the Internet.
But these people may never understand how much damage these baseless speculations and rumors have caused to the parties and their families.
Gao Feng's agent had to stand up and clarify many times that Gao Feng had no other cause at all.
But this has little impact on outside coverage.
Gao Feng never had any misconduct during his lifetime, but people seem to be more willing to believe some negative news. This undoubtedly cast a shadow on Gao Feng's reputation.
In the last days of his life, Gao Feng was in a coma and had no chance to defend himself. He really dedicated his life to music, and in the end he passed away in this way, which is extremely sad for his family and fans.
On September 19, 2002, 34-year-old Gao Feng left this world, and his young life came to an end.
His musical talent was forever frozen in that moment.
This is undoubtedly a deep trauma for fans and families, and it will take a long time for them to truly move on from their grief.
