Preface
Have you ever heard the hits of the '80s and '90s?
They once lit up the youth of a generation with their singing voices and sang the innermost stories of countless people in that era.
Nowadays, the years are not forgiving, do those familiar songs in our hearts continue to linger? Are the musical styles of these mainland male singers still the same? Are the classic golden songs that accompany the youth of a generation still touching people's hearts?
A boy who loves music, singing like a gloomy sky
Jan, the name is reminiscent of his masterpiece "Paper Planes", a song that transcends age and depicts fond memories of childhood.
Speaking of this song, no one will not be impressed by it - it is so innocent, so moving, like a free-flying paper airplane, with everyone's beautiful childhood, soaring in that green years.
Little Iyan has shown a deep interest and love for music since he was a child.
There is a faint sadness in his singing, and it is like an alienated sky and fluttering clouds, giving people a feeling of being separated from the world.
So fans gave him a gentle reputation - "Cloud Singer".
However, the good times were short-lived.
When he was in the limelight with a singing voice, he was unconsciously fascinated by online games.
He was immersed in the world of games all day long, unable to extricate himself, allowing his career and future to come to naught.
It wasn't until he met his beloved girlfriend that he suddenly woke up and could no longer talk about the virtual game world as before.
So, with her encouragement, Iyan got back on the path of chasing his dreams.
It's just that time has changed, and the years have not forgived people, and when he stepped into the music scene again, he had long since lost his former popularity.
Yiyang had to transform into an actor, but the results were not satisfactory.
Today's "Cloud Singer" is no longer in the glory of the past, and only fans recall that carefree era through the melody of "Paper Planes".
A powerful singer who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, he resolutely gave up the Spring Festival Gala just to stick to his beliefs
Speaking of Lao Dai, many fans will naturally think of the popular "Ah Lian".
It is a classic song that reflects the fate of rural women, and its record sales have reached one million.
"Ah Lian" has built Dai Jun's status in the music world, and his singing voice is warm and sincere, giving people a kind of affinity.
However, his personality is not as gentle as his singing voice - Lao Dai has a pungent energy in his bones, which does not match his external image.
In 1992, he had just become popular for "Ah Lian", and he was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
But because he thought that the songs of different styles on the same stage would weaken the appeal of his masterpieces, Lao Dai resolutely made the decision to give up on the CCTV stage.
At that time, he lacked influence and popularity, which was undoubtedly a big bet.
However, as he expected, it was precisely because of his adherence to his own style that Lao Dai's "Ah Lian" became a swan song for the ages and has endured in the music world for a long time.
Today, he is still dedicated and focused, interpreting the true portrayal of farmers with his singing, which has been highly recognized by fans and industry insiders.
A song has been popular for half a lifetime, and it has never been only singing
Speaking of the golden songs of the 90s, Lin Yilun's "Love Birds" can be said to bear the brunt.
This not only made him gain a firm foothold in the music industry, but also made him famous overnight.
However, there are also many people who despise him for relying on a song to eat half of his life, and are not optimistic about Lin Yilun's future development.
But the truth in life is often more brilliant than people's comments.
Lin Yilun has never lived up to his music dreams and is still very keen on acting.
He has a proven track record in musicals and is also popular as a food presenter.
What's even more commendable is that after experiencing a failed marriage, he and his second wife grew old together, and with his wife's shrewd financial acumen, he has a net worth of hundreds of millions.
Today's Lin Yilun has already reached the height of his life, he still does his own thing, loves music, and has successfully achieved cross-border self-branding in many fields, which is really rare.
The melancholy little prince, as if from the song of the last century
The prelude to "Spring Water Flows" sounds, as if traveling back in time to the last century.
This is the famous work of Huang Gexuan, a melancholy little prince who was born poor and has experienced hardships.
The slightly desolate, fresh voice like the sky after the rain sings the adult story of an entire generation from an ignorant teenager to a person who has experienced vicissitudes.
Many people even forget the original name of the little prince and only remember this song of his.
Huang Gexuan himself is very calm and introverted, and never deliberately hypes himself.
He just sang those simple love songs one by one, and told the stories in the hearts of countless people with his unique mellow voice.
Perhaps many young people are no longer familiar with the melancholy little prince, but for the people of the previous generation, Huang Gexuan's singing voice is still shining and classic.
"Nine Sisters" became popular all over the country, but it was the song he was least optimistic about
Who would have thought that Huang Hexiang's mediocre response to "Nine Sisters" would push him from obscurity to the throne of national superstars in one fell swoop?
Huang Hexiang has had a soft spot for music since he was a child, but his road to fame has not been smooth.
Fortunately, he worked hard and got the support of a master, and finally ushered in a turning point in his life.
At that time, Huang Hexiang signed a contract with a record company and was ready to release a solo album.
However, due to financial constraints, he had to temporarily take over the task of writing songs for rural girls - that is, "Nine Sisters", which later became popular all over the country.
The style of the local song "Nine Sisters" is completely different from the sense of luxury that Huang Hexiang pursues, and he did not plan to put it on the album.
But the producer insisted on this, and Huang Hexiang could only compromise.
Unexpectedly, this tune, which he himself delights the most, has achieved a miracle in which he became famous in the music world.
Today's Huang Hexiang recalls the past and can't help but sigh that our arrangements for life are often so small and stupid.
Perhaps, it was this trick of fate that made his legendary story possible.
Saving money for the dream, and now it has finally achieved the song of railway workers
If you have to choose the most "inspirational" among the mainland male singers in the 90s, that person must be Jiang Tao.
He was a hard-working example who never gave up, building his own tower with his hands.
When he was a teenager, Jiang Tao dreamed of entering a university to study Xi music, but his ambition was unsuccessful and he could only become an ordinary railway worker.
Even so, he did not give up his pursuit of art.
Jiang Tao worked hard to study music knowledge and actively participated in various performance competitions in his spare time.
Finally, at an important singing grand prix, he stood out and really embarked on the road of singer.
Years of hard work have not been in vain, Jiang Tao has gained a firm foothold in the music industry and has become one of the best male singers in the mainland.
And the song "The Fool Moves the Mountain" has also become the most meaningful song in his life.
The "strange" child who worries about his father has created a new folk music that has touched thousands of people
In fact, Feng Xiaoquan has not been "normal" since he was a child.
Unlike all boys who are obsessed with rock music, he is full of love for the so-called rustic folk songs and folk music all day long.
His worried father had to teach him to learn Xi himself, but this seemed to strengthen Xiao Feng's pursuit of folk music.
At the age of 10, Feng Xiaoquan won first place in an important folk music competition.
Since then, his father has been determined to pursue a musical path.
really lived up to expectations, the young Feng Xiaoquan continued to innovate in music, and finally shocked the music world with his exquisite interpretation of "Rock Sugar Gourd".
Today, he and his wife are working together to create new folk music that is becoming more and more popular, and their children have inherited their musical talents.
Thinking about it, Feng Xiaoquan's family will become a bright star in the folk music industry.
The limelight is fascinated by the game, and now he is no longer what he used to be
In the 90s, there was also a "male god" level figure in the music industry - Yang Kun, of course, he also became famous with the song "It Doesn't Matter".
At that time, Yang Kun's music and image were deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless boys and girls, and he was like a dazzling new star.
But the good times didn't last long, when his career reached its peak, Yang Kun was lost in the world of games and couldn't extricate himself all day long.
When he finally realized the cruelty of reality, it was too late to undo it.
Yang Kun had to start all over again, but time had passed, and his aura had long since faded.
In recent years, Yang Kun is trying to make a comeback, but once upon a time, it was not easy to reach new heights.
And most of the fans who admired him have entered middle age, recalling their young and frivolous selves.
That affectionate person, is he still dreaming back to the past in song
Back then, Man Jiang's "The Most Beautiful Time" was broadcast all the time, and countless people were moved by it.
His soulful and delicate voice seems to have an indissoluble melancholy, which makes people moved.
Man Jiang is not only an excellent singer, but also an outstanding music producer.
It was he who broke through the limitations of creation and wrote this popular masterpiece, thus achieving the perfect transformation from singer to producer.
Today's Manjiang is no longer as sharp and flamboyant as before.
The years have left a mark on him, making him look more stable and introverted.
Is the soulful voice of those years still vaguely lingering in the dreams of some middle-aged people in the dead of night? Countless people have been moved by his singing, but the years will eventually fade all the stories.
We have heard too many touching songs, and in the end, we are still left to follow the pace of time and continue to explore on the road of life.
epilogue
As the years go by, are those old songs still in our hearts? Will the golden songs that once accompanied us through the green years still suddenly linger in our ears at some moment?
Thinking about it, maybe we who are born in the 80s and above can still evoke some memories, but for those young people born in the 90s, these glorious years are long gone.
On the road of life, each of us has to face the vicissitudes from the peak to the trough, which is the torrent of the times and the subject that must be passed in life.
But will the songs that once touched us continue to infect our hearts? The memories of a generation will eventually fade in the long river.
Aren't we the protagonists of those singers, who continue to chase life after spending their youthful years.
