1. The four kings of Hong Kong sang the audience fascinated, the love songs of Taiwan's little diva Liang Jingru were intoxicating, the stage charm of mainland singer Wang Leehom was unmatched, and Jay Chou, who was in the limelight, brought a new music style.
At that time, we were always around the radio or in front of the TV, just to hear the latest songs of our idols. However, time flies, and the once glorious Chinese music scene now seems a little lonely.
The short video platform is full of plagiarism and random adaptations, which makes people sigh: "It would be great if we could set music back 20 years!" This sentiment is not unfounded, someone once told the joke that one day, God decided to set back the level of music in all countries by 20 years.
People in other countries protested resolutely, but Chinese fans excitedly said, "Is there such a good thing?" "In this era of quick success, we seem to have forgotten the singers who once amazed our youth.
Some people are still kings in the music industry, some people are ruined because of carelessness, and some people start a relaxed and comfortable retirement life after being busy for most of their lives.
However, among these people, there are 6 singers who have disappeared from the audience's view for a long time and have passed away. This article will tell you the stories of these 6 singers who have left us.
Their music has accompanied our youth, and their departure has made our hearts ache. Let's look back on their lives, listen to their timeless melodies, and remember these musical geniuses.
In the world of music, some people are destined to be bright stars. Gao Feng, Ah Sang and Yao Beina are three such dazzling stars, and their stories tell us that success is never achieved overnight.
Gao Feng, this name may be a little unfamiliar, but his song "Great China" is a household name. Before 1994, Gao Feng was just an unknown behind-the-scenes creator, writing singles for famous singers such as Lao Wolf and Li Lingyu.
It wasn't until he signed with EMI Records and launched "Great China" that he became famous in one fell swoop. The phrase "We all have a home, the name is China", instantly spread all over the country. Gao Feng's talent was finally recognized, and he sang "Great China" in the Spring Festival Gala in 1996, and then wrote the popular "Stupid Child" for Andy Lau.
Since then, Gao Feng's path in the music industry has become wider and wider. Ahsan's road to fame is even more bumpy. Her music samples have been rejected by 6 companies one after another, and finally there is someone who appreciates her talent, but in the end her songs are used on Lin Yilian.
Second, but Ahsan did not give up, and finally became popular in 2003 with the ending song "Leaves" of the idol drama "Rose Love". In the same year, her debut solo album "Hurt a Little" was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.
Ahsan used his own experience to tell us that as long as we persevere, we will eventually be able to see the moon. Yao Beina's story is like a fairy tale. In November 2011, she sang "Red Face Tribulation" and "Bodhisattva Man" for the hit drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and she made her debut.
The audience not only appreciated the artistic conception of "Wan Wan Class Qing", but also was attracted by Yao Beina's unique voice. In 2013, she performed the song "Maybe Tomorrow" on the stage of "The Voice of China", which amazed the four mentors and conquered the hearts of countless audiences.
Although she didn't win the championship in the end, Yao Beina's talent has been widely recognized. The rise of these three musicians is different, but they all show the power of music and talent.
Gao Feng sang patriotic feelings with "Great China", Ah Sang used "Leaves" to interpret the fragility and strength of life, and Yao Beina used "Maybe Tomorrow" to convey hope for the future.
Their stories tell us that as long as we have dreams and work hard, we will eventually have our own highlight moments. In the starry sky of the Chinese music scene, although some stars have fallen, their light still shines on us.
Zhang Yusheng, Pan Anbang and Xie Lisi are three such eternal stars, and their works are still sung today, influencing generations of listeners. Zhang Yusheng's music career is like a bright fireworks, short and gorgeous.
He made a stunning debut with a song "My Future Is Not a Dream", and then "I Miss You Every Day", "I Love You" and other golden songs came out one after another. In 1992, he released his fourth album "The Sea", which sold an astonishing 6 million copies upon release, and the title song of the same name won him the crown of the Taiwan Golden Melody Award.
Some people say that the Chinese music scene is inseparable from Zhang Yusheng, and some people say that if Zhang Yusheng can live for 30 more years, then the Chinese music scene will definitely not be what it is now. Zhang Yusheng is not only excellent in his own creation, but also good at discovering newcomers, and the famous Taiwanese singer Zhang Huimei became popular under his leadership in the early stage.
Pan Anbang is known as the "Prince of Taiwanese Folk Songs", and his famous work "Grandma's Penghu Bay" was sung in the Spring Festival Gala in 1989, and became popular all over the country overnight. This song not only allowed Pan Anbang to earn an astonishing income of 900 million, but also became a classic in the hearts of a generation.
Some actors can eat a lifetime with a drama, but Pan Anbang can eat a lifetime with a song. In addition, songs such as "Follow Your Feelings" and "Country Road" are also very popular and have become his precious gifts to the world.
Although Xie Lisi's name sounds a little exotic, she is actually an authentic Chongqing girl. The combination formed by her and her partner Wang Jieshi is like the "Phoenix Legend" of that era, not only with outstanding ability, but also welcomed and loved by countless people.
3. Songs such as "Why Are Flowers So Red" and "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days" are still sung by people today. These songs are full of Xinjiang flavor and make people feel as if they are in the vast desert.
These three musicians, with their talent and enthusiasm, have left countless classics for the Chinese music scene. Zhang Yusheng's "The Sea" shows the breadth and depth of life, Pan Anbang's "Grandma's Penghu Bay" sings about the nostalgia of wanderers, and Xie Lisi's "Why Are Flowers So Red" shows the splendor and diversity of nature.
Their singing has become our common memory and will always be cherished in our hearts. The creative talent of these musicians is not only reflected in their works, but also in their love and dedication to music.
They compose melodies with their hearts, interpret lyrics with their lives, and integrate their thoughts and thoughts into every note. Although they have left us, their musical spirit will remain forever and continue to influence later musicians and become a valuable asset in the Chinese music scene.
We cannot predict the length of life, but we can determine the width of life. Gao Feng, Zhang Yusheng, Ah San, Yao Beina, Pan Anbang and Xie Lisi, they have enriched their lives and our world with music.
However, fate played a cruel joke on them, making us deeply feel the fragility of life. The departure of Gao Feng and Zhang Yusheng was like a thunderbolt from the blue. In September 2002, Gao Feng, who was at the peak of his career, suddenly felt very unwell shortly after the release of his new album "Brave New World".
He wanted to wait until the album was released before going to the hospital, but he didn't expect the delay to turn out to be a disaster. On September 6, Gao Feng was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with PCP viral pneumonia.
Just two weeks later, at the age of 34, he left this world forever, and on his deathbed he still cried out that "Great China" would always be by his audience's side. Zhang Yusheng's story is even more heartbreaking, on October 19, 1997, at the age of 31, he was in a serious car accident due to sudden physical reasons while returning from sending an actress home.
After 24 days of rescue, this bright new star in the music industry has left us forever. The story of Ahsan and Yao Beina shows us the strength of life.
Diagnosed with terminal lymphoma in 2007, Ahsan bravely battled the disease for two years before dying in 2009 at the age of 34. The story of Yao Beina, who was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer as early as 2011, has never shown it in public.
It wasn't until 2014 that her condition worsened that it became known that this brave girl had been suffering from the disease in silence. On January 16, 2015, 33-year-old Yao Beina left us forever.
Although Pan Anbang and Cheris lived longer, they also suffered from health problems in their later years. In January 2008, Pan Anbang suffered from active heart detachment and almost became a "glass man".
4. After 5 years of treatment, he finally died of kidney failure at the age of 52. Xie Lisi was diagnosed with cerebral infarction in 1997, but fortunately recovered under the careful care of her husband Lang Wenyao, and was able to return to the stage in 2000.
But in January 2022, at the age of 75, she passed away. The stories of these musicians make us deeply aware of the preciousness and fragility of life. At the end of their lives, they still insisted on their love for music and interpreted the meaning of life with their singing.
Their departure is not only a huge loss to the Chinese music scene, but also a wake-up call for us to cherish life and love life. Although these musicians are gone, what they left behind is not only a moving singing, but also a spirit and attitude that shows the power of music.
Gao Feng still remembered his works before his death, he said: "I hope that "Great China" will always be by your side! "This dedication to music and love for the audience is very moving.
Even at the end of his life, he was still concerned about whether his works could continue to be sung, and this love and sense of responsibility for music was admirable. Yao Beina continued to write and perform during the fight against cancer, and she used her actions to explain what is the love of music.
Even at the end of her life, she still gave her fans the most beautiful singing. Yao Beina never showed her illness in front of the public, but endured it silently, just to continue to bring beautiful music to the audience.
Her strength and courage show the character of a true musician. Cheris's story shows us the power of music and love. During her cerebral infarction in 1997, her husband Lang Wenyao took good care of her and helped her return to the stage.
In 2000, 53-year-old Xie Lisi collaborated with her partner Wang Jieshi again and sang "Young Friends Come to Meet", proving the tenacity of life with her singing. It's not just a love of music, it's a love of life.
These musicians have used their lives to interpret what it means to love music, what it means to be strong, and what it means to never give up. Their stories are not only about music, but also about the meaning and value of life.
They show us through their actions that music can not only contagnate people's hearts, but also empower us to get through life's difficult moments. A philosopher once said that a person will experience two deaths in his life, one physical death and the other memory loss.
Fifth, compared with the two, the second seems to be the real death. For these six musicians, although their bodies have left us, their music and spirit live forever in our hearts.
When we hear "Great China", it seems that we can still see Gao Feng swaying enthusiasm on the stage; When the melody of "The Sea" sounded, Zhang Yusheng's gentle voice seemed to be in his ears; Xie Lisi's "Why Are Flowers So Red" can still make us feel the magnificence of the Xinjiang desert; Ahsan's "It's Been Quiet" can still touch the softest part of our hearts; Yao Beina's "Red Face Tribulation" still tells her love for music; Pan Anbang's "Grandma's Penghu Bay" will always be the most beautiful nostalgia in our hearts.
After closing their eyes, every tone and every hum they sang seemed to be close to their ears, perhaps this is also one of the life goals that the singer wants to strive to achieve. With their talents and enthusiasm, these musicians have left a valuable legacy for the Chinese music scene.
Their loss hurts our hearts, but their music will always stay with us.
