preface
Zhenni returned to Hong Kong and faced the 71-year-old godfather of rock and roll, as if it was a collision across the ages.
And the godfather of rock and roll has been married four times, divorced four times, and now lives with his girlfriend, who is nearly forty years younger, and his life can be described as "complicated".
However, this time, Jenny's re-encounter with him seems destined to set off a new storm.
Her face is red, is it emotional fluctuations or something else hidden? What kind of story is hidden behind this meeting?
An unexpected reunion: a surprise meeting between two generations of musicians
On an ordinary day in 2024, the Hong Kong music scene ushered in a moving reunion.
Feng Ji Zhenni, the singer who once dominated the Hong Kong music scene, returned to Hong Kong in order to recover record royalties.
Who would have thought that she would meet Hong Kong's "Godfather of Rock" Xia Shaosheng at Sony Music.
This encounter is like stepping back in time.
When Jenny stepped into the Sony Music building, she was filled with emotion about the familiar environment.
"Sony is my old club, I don't know how many generations it is."
She smiled and said, "Watching a group of young people work hard and introduce themselves to me makes me feel like home." "
At this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar figure appeared in front of her - Xia Shaosheng.
The two looked at each other and instantly recognized each other, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
The past is like smoke: the musical relationship between Zhen Ni and Xia Shaosheng
Back in the mid-1970s, the young Jenny was already a rising star in the Hong Kong music scene.
Her keen sense of music allowed her to discover a young man who was playing drums at the Meilun Hotel - Xia Shaosheng.
"At that time, I thought that this young man was not simple," Jenny recalled, "and there was enthusiasm in his eyes, and the drum stick in his hand seemed to have magical powers.
I knew he was destined to be a great musician. "
Under the recommendation of Zhenni, Xia Shaosheng gradually stepped onto the stage and became the well-known "Danny · Summer".
His singing voice is unique and his creative talent is brilliant, and he soon shocked the music scene with golden songs such as "Empty Stool", "Intersection" and "Never Give Up".
1983: A wonderful collaboration in the world of music
In 1983, the musical relationship between Zhen Ni and Xia Shaosheng was intertwined again.
The two sang "The Wrong Beginning" together, which was included in Xia Shaosheng's album "Troubled Silk / Night Wandering".
What's even more surprising is that this album was released by Jenny's self-formed Golden Note Records.
"At that time, we were all young and full of ideals."
Xia Shaosheng recalled, "It was a great honor for me to work with Jenny.
She is not only my Bole, but also my mentor and friend. "
Each is wonderful: the ups and downs of life in 40 years
In the past 40 years, Zhen Ni and Xia Shaosheng have each experienced a wonderful life.
Zhenni has always maintained her outspoken character, although she has lived in Taiwan for a long time, she has always cared about the big and small affairs of Hong Kong.
She often expresses her opinions on social media and has become the "most powerful sister" in the minds of many people.
And Xia Shaosheng's life is as ups and downs as his music.
He has been through four marriages, each of which has allowed him to grow and cherish the present even more.
At the age of 19, Xia Shaosheng married a middle school classmate and had two daughters.
Although this marriage ended in failure, it gave him valuable experience of becoming a father.
After that, he married a United States woman and a Chile woman.
These two transnational marriages gave him a taste of different cultures and gave him more inspiration for his music creation.
The fourth wife is the daughter of the former richest man in Viet Nam, and although the marriage lasted only one year, it also left a deep impression on Xia Shaosheng.
1995: A double test of career and relationship
In 1995, Xia Shaosheng's career and feelings faced a test at the same time.
When he was filming the TV series "Criminal Investigation Files", he had an affair with actress Leung Wing-lam.
This turmoil once put Xia Shaosheng in a predicament, but in the end, the two sides reconciled, and Xia Shaosheng also learned valuable life lessons from it.
Regaining Happiness: 71-year-old Xia Shaosheng finds true love
Now 71-year-old Xia Shaosheng has finally found a spiritual home.
He and his girlfriend, who is 40 years younger, have been in love for 14 years, and their relationship is stable and sweet.
"This is the happiest stage of my life," Xia Shaosheng said frankly, "I'm not worried about the age gap, and I'm not afraid that she will leave me."
We understand each other and support each other.
That's the kind of love I want. "
Xia Shaosheng's grandson has graduated from primary school, and he is extremely pleased to see the children grow up healthily.
Although he has experienced four marriages, Xia Shaosheng said that he will not enter the fifth marriage.
"Four times is enough," he said with a smile, "and life is good now." "
Reunion after a long absence: Touched and grateful
When Jenny and Xia Shaosheng reunited at Sony Music, they were both excited.
Xia Shaosheng was even moved to tears, and he whispered in Zhen Ni's ear: "Zhen Ni, thank you!" "
Zhen Ni was also moved by Xia Shaosheng's true feelings.
She wrote on social media: "Seeing my old friend Danny call me a boss made me red-faced and afraid to be a boss! He grabbed my hand and told him about his dreams.
He is preparing for a concert and I wish him success and all the best! "
Xia Shaosheng shared a photo of the two on Instagram to express his gratitude to Zhenni.
He wrote: "I was still playing drums at the Meilun Hotel...... Discovering that I became Danny · Summer, she met today at Sony Records, and I was moved to tears. "
Looking to the future: Continuing on the road of music
This reunion is not only a review of the past, but also a look forward to the future.
Xia Shaosheng revealed that he is preparing for a new concert, hoping to move the audience with music again.
Jenny said that although she has retired from the background, she still cares about the development of the Hong Kong music scene.
"It's very gratifying to see the new generation of musicians working so hard."
"I believe that concerts in Hong Kong are getting better and better," she said. "
epilogue
40 years is enough to change a person's face, but it can't change a musician's love for music.
The reunion between Jenny and Xia Shaosheng is not only a friendship between the two musicians, but also a warm review of the history of the Hong Kong music scene.
In this fast-paced era, their stories remind us that genuine camaraderie and love for music will never be erased by time.
Let's look forward to them continuing to create wonderful music on the road, and also look forward to more musicians like them to bring us more moving melodies.
