On September 10, 2000, the female singer Reiko committed suicide at home and bid farewell to the world in a resolute and resolute way, at the age of 27.
Many young netizens may not be very familiar with this singer, but she is a very talented female singer in the Chinese music scene, especially in the rock circle.
She is Gao Xiaosong's ex-girlfriend, and was later pursued by Wang Feng, and her circle of friends are Cui Jian, Zheng Jun, Xu Wei, Tang Dynasty Band, Black Panther Band, these rock masters;
She released her first solo single and won the top of the music table for two consecutive weeks;
She only released one album in her lifetime, but was nominated for the "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year 2000 on the China Song Chart";
She died young, and every time she mentioned it, it made people sigh.
What kind of story does she have?
And listen to the pickpocket sister.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > talented, but not at the right time</h1>
Born on January 24, 1973 in Xinjiang, her original name was Wu Yajun. Her parents and friends liked to call her, Reiko.
When she was a child, due to her parents' work, she often traveled between Zhengzhou and Zhengzhou, and her turbulent and displaced life had a major impact on her music creation.
Her songs are ethereal, like the sound of nature, but full of vicissitudes, people can't bear to listen.
In 1994, "Magic Rock Three Masters" Zhang Chu, Dou Wei, He Yong, plus the Tang Dynasty band set off a rock storm at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, as soon as the storm ended, mainland rock music began to decline.
In the same year, Reiko graduated from the Vocal Music Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts. In order to leave a way out for herself, she went to Singapore alone to study business management. After graduation, Reiko regained her musical dreams.
But at this time, "Zhang Chu is dead, Dou Weixian is dead, He Yong is crazy", and the musical environment in Beijing has long been different. In desperation, Junzi went to Guangzhou to develop.
In Guangzhou, Reiko and the famous musician Xiao Ke collaborated on their first single "Let's Do It Together". Once the song was launched, it received rave reviews, winning the first place in the music station chart for two consecutive years, and at the same time, it also won the "Top Ten Golden Songs in China Chart" that year.
Debut is the peak, nothing more.
The fame of Reiko has attracted the attention of Beijing musicians, including Gao Xiaosong.
The turn of the reiko is not far from the tragedy of his life.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the love-hate feud between Junzi and Gao Xiaosong</h1>
Gao Xiaosong was amazed by Yuzi's talent and quickly persuaded her to return to Beijing. At the same time, Gao Xiaosong collected many musical samples from his friends Park Shu, Xu Wei, Shen Qing, Wang Feng and others, and with his own creations, he tailored an album of "Spring Equinox, Liqiu, Winter Solstice" for Junzi.
It was during this period that the two fell in love.
At that time, Reiko could be said to have a deep affection for this relationship, and he used the money earned in Guangzhou to buy a car, buy a house for decoration, and prepare to marry Gao Xiaosong.
As a result, in 1997, when Reiko was filming the MV, she had an unpleasant quarrel with the record company, plus the car was stolen. Reiko is depressed and has a great change of temperament, and often quarrels with Gao Xiaosong.
Gao Xiaosong was a person with a quiet nature, and when he got bored, he ran to the United States with his hands off.
In early 2000, Gao Xiaosong returned to China, and Reiko transferred to the Jingwen Audio-Visual Company.
Although this record company also has a good relationship with Gao Xiaosong, at this time, Reiko is obviously still angry with Gao Xiaosong.
Because at this time, she was in contact with another rock singer, Wang Feng.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > genius female singer Xiang Yuyu died, Xu Wei burned songs, and Wang Feng wrote epitaphs</h1>
At that time, Wang Feng was still the lead singer of "No. 43 Baojia Street", Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong did not recognize that Wang Feng was singing rock, and the pop music scene lacked tolerance for him. It can be said that Wang Feng had a very difficult life at that time.
As we said earlier, This new album of Reiko uses a lot of singers' samples, such as the song "Youth" from Wang Feng; for example, the song "Spring Equinox" has Xu Wei's participation.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Feng later released this song:
I plan to leave at dusk
Take a car to go far away
Tonight there's a feast for my friends
I hurriedly got dressed and pushed the door out
Oncoming is the sweltering desire on the street
I jumped gently into the river of people
It was raining lightly outside
The raindrops fluttered lightly like in my youth
My face was covered with rain as if I were covered with happiness
There was nothing in my heart
It's like no pain
The world has everything
It's like everyone has it
Keep going and keep losing
In my youth I didn't realize
Although there are different words and different songs, if you put two songs together and listen to them together, you will find similarities. Of course, we're not talking about songs here.
Around the time when Reiko and Gao Xiaosong were in conflict, Wang Feng pursued Reiko. This point, Reiko's mother later broke the news in the media, because of the age, we will not be deeply pickpocketed.
After Junzi committed suicide, Wang Feng knew before Gao Xiaosong, who once described the scene at that time:
When She left, she was dressed in red and withered like a flower...
Gao Xiaosong, who learned of Reiko's death, couldn't believe it, and broke down and cried several times.
His friend Xu Wei was planning to sing "That Year" with Reiko, but he couldn't do it because of Reiko's death. At Reiko's funeral, Xu Wei burned the song to Reiko.
You were young that year
I always feel that tomorrow will be beautiful
That ideal world
It's like a ray of light
Shine in your heart
How can you let this heart burn non-stop
Just like that, it disappears into mediocrity
You decide to hit the road
Leave the city
......
At present, this song has been re-adapted by Xu Wei. He later got out of control at concerts many times later, singing to the chorus part, where he left the microphone empty.
Do you think Xu Wei is empty to sing to fans?
When Junzi died, Junzi's mother commissioned Wang Feng to write an epitaph:
A few years have passed, are you okay?
The indifferent people are still laughing, the vulnerable people are still crying.
The sun is still hot, the moonlight is still bright,
Hypocrisy is still hypocrisy, nobility is still hurting.
We're still listening to your voice,
But your figure is gone.
The years are like the wind, laughing and crying that beautiful dream,
The girl in the dream smiled like a flower,
She's an orphan of a beautiful world,
Returning to innocent heaven too early.
And we're still here here
Listen to the heavenly song
Tears slipped quietly,
Soul washed away smiling life!
——Wang Feng, a famous rock musician
A few years later, Wang Feng wrote another article on the death day of Junzi:
"To The Son" Wang Feng
How many years have passed, but is it okay with?
The cold are happy, and the weak are weeping.
The sun is still hot, and the moon is still bright,
Hypocrisy is still hypocrisy, and nobility is still hurting.
Zi Sheng I still listened, and Zi Ying was gone.
The years pass like the wind, with a smile and a good dream,
The woman in the dream smiles and is lonely for the beauty of the world.
This woman has returned to heaven, but I am still here,
Smell the sky here, and your eyes droop like that.
Soul exhausted, smile for the rest of your life!
But no matter what, it is impossible for Reiko to come back.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
Reiko has only shined in the Chinese music scene for three years, but although it is only three short years, she has bloomed very brightly.
It's hard to imagine what she would achieve in the Chinese music scene if she hadn't ended her life in a desperate way.
Unfortunately, where in the world is there a if?
If there was still music, there would be rock'n' roll!
Rock 'n' roll is not dead.
