I remember that about when I was in elementary school, there was suddenly more than one TV station called Satellite TV Chinese at home, and in that era of relatively poor entertainment life, an unknown and ignorant child suddenly faced such a brilliant and colorful TV program, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, which was both excited and fresh. Since then, that strange and unheard of TV screen has attracted me deeply like sunglasses, and I am like the queen who thinks she is the most beautiful in the world, and I am hopelessly intoxicated by the phrase "you are the most beautiful in the world".
This Song Cai Xingjuan's "Half a Dim Sum" MV is at this time, I can neither resist, nor more unwilling to resist, obsessed with this woman, crazy for this song, until more than 30 years later today still can not forget, always stay in my computer song of self-selection, whenever I am alone for the hardships of life, I will quietly open this song alone, let the song flow unscrupulously in my ears, the first time I don't know the meaning of the song, and then listen to the song has become a song. We think that the woman in the song, wagging her tail and begging for pity in order to get the person's half-heart, seems cowardly and ridiculous, but is so powerless, what else can we do? The ruthlessness of life has crushed the ruthlessness of our words and words again and again, what else can we do? Time and again, the burden of the family has wiped out our young radiant soldiers without bloodshed. And all we can do is hope that tomorrow's days will be better than today's.
The original song "Half a Dim Sum" was grasshopper band, a Hong Kong band most familiar to all of us in the 1980s and 1990s, composed of three big boys, Cai Yizhi, Cai Yijie and Su Zhiwei. After the "grasshopper" gradually became popular, it developed independently, and it was able to stand alone in the pop music world with vigorous singing and dancing. Their early excellent works are countless, in addition, Cai Yizhi and Cai Yijie are also involved in the creation of lyrics from time to time, so Grasshopper can also be regarded as a creative group, and they are also one of the few bands that have been standing from the 80s to the 90s.
The song is not original, but is based on the French song Venus Des Abribus (Venus in a Caravan) and originally sung by French singer Patricia Kaas.
Patricia Kaas was one of France's top female artists in the 1990s, and she tried to combine pop, blues, jazz and other musical elements in traditional French chanson music, forming a unique musical style. She is also one of the best-selling French female singers in the world, and can be called a chanson queen.
Although the original song of grasshopper is also a classic, the perfect image of "Half a Dim Sum" in my heart is still the delicate Cai Xingjuan, especially this MV, the image of those typical Asian girls has always engraved an indelible mark in my mind.
Can I go
You bow your head and don't speak
Love is like a cup of overnight tea
I'm going to drink it
There's always some attachment between you and me
You can go ahead
Even if it's delusional
Let me keep it too
Don't let this relationship end here
Half a snack to give me this question scares me
My heart is willing to let you think of me as him in order to love you
Are you really happy?
Love is always sand in your hands
Who can leave it behind
Will you still miss me?
You still don't speak
Love is like a dream flower Waking up is all fake
Let me keep it, and don't let this relationship end here
Is that best?
Let me give him all my love
Is it good to have a heart in half?
Will the rest of the heart be left to me?
At the end of the song, a sad and gentle, delicate, and infatuated girl jumped on the paper. I thought again, if there had been a peerless demon whispering in my ear, I would have been forever in my heart. What family, status, money, reputation are all left behind, Chong Guan is angry and red-faced, only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals.
