Zhongyi Cantonese songs, Zhongyi sings Cantonese golden songs.
Perhaps the favorite thing for many elderly friends, Cantonese songs with nine voices and six tones, gentle and gentle, make people infinitely reverie.
Once upon a time, those classic Cantonese golden songs.
"Down the Current", "Don't Decorate Your Dreams", "Walk with Your Hands", "Grass in the Wind", "Song of the Sunset", "The Wind Continues to Blow", "Goodbye is Also Tears", etc., are all representatives of Cantonese golden songs.
The first four songs mentioned above are all sung by Cai Guoquan.
Choi Kwok-kuen is a singer from the Hong Kong music scene who was once extremely popular.
He became popular before the Four Heavenly Kings, and in the 80s, he created classic songs such as "Don't Decorate Your Dreams" and "Go Down the Current".
After "Down the Current" was sung by Tianhou Xu Xiaofeng, it became her representative work, but Cai Guoquan's own version has a different flavor, and the ending of the lyrics is somewhat different.

The popularity of this song "Down the Current", perhaps you don't know, at that time, a singer in the mainland called Chen Rujia, especially liked Xu Xiaofeng's singing of "Down the Current And Against the Current".
Chen Rujia also sang a cover of "Down the Current and Against the Current", and became a popular song in the mainland, this cover version is so good that even Xu Xiaofeng wants to see which young man is covered.
When Choi wrote "Down the Current", it was the second year of his debut, and the song finally won the 1985 Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award.
Also in that year, Cai Guoquan's other classic golden song "Don't Decorate Your Dreams" was born.
Although the lyrics are not written by Cai Guoquan, the songs he composed are fresh and beautiful, which really makes people sigh while listening.
The separation of life, who decorated whom? Maybe they will be separated from each other again, or they may never see each other again, but the infinite love in their hearts only wants to stay in this air.
This is the throbbing that "Don't Decorate Your Dreams" brings, and every melody will touch you with a story.
In that era, under the strength of Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang and other people in the music world, Cai Guoquan was able to go out of his own unique style and kill a musical road for himself, which was really valuable.
Cai Guoquan's singing voice is pure, elegant, poetic, faint melancholy reveals a silky sense of beauty, and his lyrics can always point directly to people's hearts and be tender.
His songs always sing about the mood of life, no matter whether it is adversity or good times, how many tears have been shed, and he has never given up the ideal in his heart.
Although he has successfully become popular, Cai Guoquan also feels that his creation has limitations, and there is always a low point in life.
At the end of the 1990s, Hong Kong's entertainment industry was facing a downturn, and many artists and behind-the-scenes personnel turned to the mainland or retired.
And Cai Guoquan also found a reason for himself and faded out of the show business circle.
In 1987, Cai Guoquan released an album called "The Prophecy of Dreams", which has a song called "Walking with Your Hands", a very dynamic tune, a disco-style gold song from the 80s.
Fast forward to 2002, Cai Guoquan and his friends were driving through the Dongguan Highway in Guangdong Province, a traffic accident, Cai Guoquan suffered a serious head injury, coma for a month before waking up, but he could only rely on a wheelchair to travel.
That year, Cai Guoquan had planned to come back, but such an accident made a major change in his life.
It is understood that cai Guoquan's wife left him afterwards, and he was finally admitted to a nursing home.
Cai Guoquan's most difficult time is that some old friends in the same period of singing come to help, such as Xu Xiaofeng, Tan Yonglin and others, which shows that his popularity in the entertainment industry is good.
(Xu Xiaofeng burst into tears when he saw Cai Guoquan)
Xu Xiaofeng once went to visit Cai Guoquan and saw his current situation and has been silently crying.
There are always imperfect times in life, although there have been glorious years, but it is inevitable to encounter setbacks and wind and rain, as long as you are strong and gritted your teeth, you will also see the sunshine rainbow.
Judging from the photos exposed in recent years, Cai Guoquan is in a wheelchair but in good spirits.

I hope that Mr. Cai Guoquan will be happy in his old age, and it is fortunate to hear his singing voice, which is the luck of the majority of music lovers.
