Please enjoy Cai Xingjuan's "Asking For Affection":
In 1991, a "Joke about Qianlong", which set off a ratings boom, made countless audiences fascinated by the fourth master of Yushu Linfeng and Cheng Huaixiu, who was played by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi, who were familiar to everyone, one was 44 years old and one was 37 years old. They are not fresh meat, nor are they small flowers, but they can support such a sensational drama on both sides of the strait and three places. "Joke about Qianlong" is China's first drama about the Qing Palace, in addition to the real scene shooting in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the drama is also filmed in the Ming and Qing style street of the Beijing Film Studio, I have to say that before the TV series was filmed more atmospheric, really filmed in the Forbidden City, put now, it is impossible.

The success of this TV series is inseparable from the atmospheric and moving theme song "Ask for Love", which is still unforgettable. The song "Ask for Love", written by Iskandar, a Singaporean malaysian descendant, listens to a sad and sad tune, and has been later used in other TV series, such as the background music in "Bao Qingtian". The lyrics were composed by the famous Taiwanese lyricist Chen Lerong, who also composed the lyrics of "Dashing WalkIng Back" and "Grateful Heart", and the combination of lyrics and songs, coupled with the singing of Cai Xingjuan (sung by Zhang Jihong in the mainland version of that year), became an impeccable song.
Talking about Cai Xingjuan, she was only 25 years old when she sang this song, but she can also control it very perfectly. Her singing voice is soft and loud, and some people have commented: Cai Xingjuan is the only one I have ever seen that can still sound so good without accompaniment. So she has a nice nickname: Oriental Lark. It is such an oriental lark that sang "Asking For Love" red. She performed softly but vigorously, singing the words of chivalrous pride and pride, which really made people listen to endless memories, no wonder the box tape published in the mainland that year was printed on it: Teresa Teng's successor.

Zhang Jihong's version has not been heard, it is said that the voice is sweet, many people love to listen. At that time, "Joke About Qianlong" was broadcast, and there was no signature of Zhang Jihong on the song box, which triggered a very unpleasant lawsuit, but it eventually ended with Zhang Jihong winning the lawsuit. Now it is difficult to find Zhang Jihong's version of "Asking For Love" on the Internet.

So, what kind of memories does this "Ask for Love" evoke?
1. Peek at TV
Some people, when they were young, because they peeked at "Joke About Qianlong", their tv was hot when their families got off work, and they didn't know how many times they were beaten. (A little miserable, and a little sweet to recall,) ）
Some people say: This song is so memorable for me! Alas, it is a pity that when I was a child, I could only peek at it a few times and then I was shouted at by my parents to write homework, and I never finished it!
2, think of the black-and-white TV at home
How many people used to sit under the big trees and listen to the screams, take a big fan to cool off, watch the TV full of snowflakes, and the TV was "Joke about Qianlong", listening to this song "Asking For Affection".
3, think of family
A netizen's comment made people sigh: when I was a child, I took my sister to the neighbors to watch "Joke About Qianlong" almost new year, she pestered me like a small fart, and now that my sister is married, she will no longer follow my brother to see the drama and say Qianlong! (The past can only be reminisced!) ）
Some people say that in a trance, I went back to the TV series that I watched with my sister that year, and now my sister has long been married, and I can't bear to be the time that flies! (How many people watch it with their siblings?) ）
There is also a friend's comment that makes people tearful: when watching this TV was in the early 90s, I was in elementary school, when my grandfather still came to cook for me every day at noon, went to school and the same table I had a crush on, in the blink of an eye I was almost 40, my grandfather was gone a few years ago, and the girl had never seen her after graduating from elementary school... (Really as the song sings: years can't stand too long waiting)
4, think of youth
The young people and middle-aged people who listened to this song are now in their prime and old age, think about the most terrible estimate in the world is time, unconsciously let you get old, the lost youth, will never come back!
A good song can always make people resonate, and "Ask for Love" has an indescribable melodiousness and sadness! The previous singers were really singing with their hearts, pure, with affection in place, the beauty of the country, all in the middle, it can be said that some singers are thrown away ten streets now.
"Asking For Love" combines the plot to listen, and can better appreciate the meaning of the lyrics of "love to the point of not being able to love, gathering until the end must be scattered".
The fourth master went to find Cheng Huaixiu, who was thinking alone in the White Cloud Temple, and there was a conversation, to the effect that.
Cheng: The Buddha once lay under a mulberry tree for several days.
Four: That's the Buddha, you're the helper.
Cheng: He talks about Buddha, I talk about salt.
Four: If you knew what my last name was and what others called me, maybe you would...
Cheng: During the Dry Lake Covenant, I thought about what the name of the fourth master in front of me was, but if you didn't say it, I didn't even know if it was a mulberry tree, wouldn't it be better? Fourth Master, you are a dashing person.
Four: I just want to do something that is not dashing. ......
Indeed classic, love to the depths, after all let go.
