"Where did you come from, my friend, like a butterfly flying into my window..." On the spring evening of CCTV in 1988, a song composed of lyrics and music "broke into" the hearts of countless people like wings. And the name of the singer also spread throughout the country with the popularity of the song.
Nowadays, whenever "Thoughts" is mentioned, people must think of Mao Amin. However, before Mao Amin, "Miss" actually had another singer - the representative of "Northwest Wind".

Like Mao Amin, Fan Linlin is a student of Gu Jianfen's music training class and the first singer of the song "Missing". As early as June 1987, she performed the work at the "Gu Jianfen Works Concert", which attracted great attention from the music circles in the capital. Later, Fan Linlin's singing of "Miss" was also included in the compilation tape "Snow City", which achieved a good result of selling more than one million.
However, unlike the tapes that sold very well, "Missed" is still a long way from the real fire throughout the country. Speaking of this, it is estimated that many friends will be curious, since "Missing" is Fan Linlin's song, how did her "sister in the same door" Mao Amin get this song and bring it to the Spring Festival Gala? This brings us to Mao Amin's two benefactors – and peace.

In an article shared earlier, Jun once said that Mao Amin's initial works originated from Gu Jianfen, the teacher, and the original stage came from director Deng Zaijun. At that time, the director team of the 1988 Spring Festival Gala was selecting programs, and the "Handshake Disco" sent by Mao Amin did not even pass the first round of screening. Upon hearing this news, she immediately rushed back to Beijing, hoping to find new works from her mentor.
The "big sister" Mao Amin in the song world
It was very coincidental that when Mao Amin came to Gu Jianfen's home, he found that Deng Dao was actually there. It turned out that Deng Dao, like Mao Amin, had come to Gu Jianfen to "ask for a few songs that can be on the Spring Festival Gala". In the conversation, mentioning the works that were "denied", Gu Jianfen thought about it and proposed to let Mao Amin try Fan Linlin's "Miss" without singing fire. This is why deng dao boldly "enabled" Mao Amin later many stories.
At that time, although Fan Linlin failed to sing "Thoughts", she also walked out of her own musical path with other representative works such as "", "", "", "", "", Therefore, the encounters of life are elusive. Some things, both by chance and destiny, are still evocative to read.
