Last week, "Time Concert" was launched in surprise, and the ratings and word of mouth were very good. I watched the second session of Principal Tan's special session with a look of anticipation, and it was really full of memories!

As the evergreen tree of the orchestra, Tan Yonglin has been debuting for 51 years. From the green onion boy to the old man. He has released 130 albums and countless classic songs. It is part of the childhood memories of the 70s, 80s, 90s and even the post-00s. A good song, a memory, a beautiful slice of life. The guests chose the song of Principal Tan, who had a profound influence on them. Singing in front of the original song (even many of the guests are fans of Principal Tan), it is very exciting to think.

Tan Yonglin - "Those Touching Songs"
Principal Tan chose this song for a very clear purpose, that is, to declare his heroic ambition of "Old Ji Futuo is determined to be in a thousand miles". As a 71-year-old singer, the singing scene is still stable and fierce, and I have to say that the technical strength of the artists who came out of that era is really too strong. The lyrics are everywhere an oath of Tan Yonglin's love for the singing career and pride in her identity as a singer, as well as gratitude and gratitude and feedback to fans. Nice and touching.
"Those Songs That Touched People"
Zhang Jie - "Between Half Dream and Half Awake"
This is a song released by Tan Yonglin in 1988, I watched the original MV, the principal tan of that year and the current Zhang Jie are similar in age, the golden age of the upright singing career. The similarities between Zhang Jie's "Between Half Dream and Half Awake" and Principal Tan's version are all confiding in the heart and singing love. The difference is that Zhang Jie's version is the secret promise of first love, while Tan Yonglin's version is a lifelong vow. Zhang Jie sang very well, but the voice temperament was too young, lacking the sense of maturity and intimacy of Principal Tan's version. There is a sense of imminent departure, which is really fascinating!
"Half Dream, Half Awake"
Li Keqin - "The Favorite of a Lifetime"
As Li Keqin said in the program, the relationship between him and Tan Yonglin is in a thousand words. They were colleagues from the same record label (formerly also contracted singers of Polygram Records) and developed into a partnership that formed the left and right Lee groups. Together, they witnessed the development history of Hong Kong's golden generation of singers. Memories of killing are moving.
Li Keqin's singing skills should be ranked among Cantonese singers. The song he sang, "The Love of My Life", can be said to be impeccable in terms of completion. It is a perfect interpretation of one of the most classic songs in Cantonese love songs. The 1991 version of Tam Wing Lin is more youthful. Tan's version of "The Love of a Lifetime" sings about a young man's unreserved confession to his lover. Hot and intense and sincere, Li Keqin's version is more like reliving the warmth and sweetness of the past between middle-aged and elderly couples. Each has its own advantages, and their chorus version is also very classic when Zuo Lin right Li concerted in 2005.
"The Love of My Life"
Legend of the Phoenix – The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
It's a magical song. Most people think it's Dao Lang's song. It was indeed written by Dao Lang, but it was written by Dao Lang and given to Principal Tan. So in theory, it is indeed Tan Yonglin's song.
Phoenix Legend picked the song this time and made a bold adaptation of it. Sings the flavor of the phoenix legend. The phoenix legendary version of "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" is a wolf in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, wild but free to wield. I once listened to the live version of Tan Yonglin's 2004 concert, when Principal Tan was no longer young, and he sang about the lone wolf in the cold wind of the northwest wasteland, desolate and slightly tragic. This song should be known by modern young people in the minority, counting Principal Tan's relatively recent golden song, a very interesting classic song!
The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Xu Ruyun - "Love in Late Autumn"
This is one of the top ten golden songs in 1984, Tan Yonglin's classic love song masterpiece. Xu Ruyun adapted the original song into a Blue style work, which is very suitable for Xu Ruyun's voice conditions and personal temperament. The whole song is sung like the quiet of the autumn leaves, very soothing and refreshing. The original version of Tan Yonglin is more like the reluctance and resentment of the young man who was suddenly broken up. Tan sings about the young people's attachment to their past feelings, and Xu Ruyun is a kind of relief. The style of the same song is very different, depending on what kind of mentality you are in at this time.

Lin Zhixuan - "The Root of Love"
Lin Daxian is now regarded as an "old artist", in fact, when he debuted, he also sang love songs and became popular! His "Single Love Song" should be a household name. This time, he picked "The Root of Love", one of the top ten golden songs launched by President Tan in 1985. Lin Zhixuan sang very well (after all, he was also a generation of love song princes). I have heard the original version of Tan Yonglin, and between the version that Lin interpreted today, I personally feel that Lin Daxian's version is too academic, while Tan Yonglin's version is more popular, so that ordinary listeners have no sense of distance. Of course, both versions are very good, and the key depends on which type of singing form you prefer.
The Roots of Love
Yu Kewei - "Flowers in the Water"
This song, which Tan Yonglin sang for the first time on the Spring Festival evening of CCTV in 1991, was a household name in the mainland at the time. The song is eloquent and melodious. A lot of people have covered it.
Yu Kewei is the most lyrical female singer in the new generation of female singers in the mainland in my opinion. This song "Flowers in the Water" perfectly shows the charm of her midrange, which is very good. Compared with the original version of Tan Yonglin, Yu Kewei's "water flowers" are like a cluster of daffodils, beautiful and graceful, long and moving. Principal Tan's version of the water flower is like a "pucao flower", which at first glance is not alarming, the breeze blows, and immediately has boundless poetry. Two different kinds of fun, but both are worth appreciating and enjoying.
Flowers in the Water
Liao Changyong – The Pearl of the Orient
As one of the representative figures of domestic academic singers, if Teacher Liao sings the love song of President Tan, it is estimated that he will cause a lot of topics. At this time, the less criticism, the better. So Mango Tai chose the song "Pearl of the Orient" for Teacher Liao. That's right, it's a pop song! What impressed me the most was the version of Na Ying and Andy Lau singing. At that time, when Hong Kong returned to the motherland, the frequency of this song should be unique among Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs, and President Tan estimated that he had sung this song during this time period. The academics sang big songs, which was expected and reasonable.

postscript
Time is like a white colt passing through the gap, and in the blink of an eye, the teenager is nearly late. When he was young, Principal Tan's appearance and strength coexisted, and now he is an old man with a flower armour. What has not changed is the many beautiful melodies introduced in those years. Years are faltering, life is short, only classic works can withstand the precipitation of years and the polishing of time. Hunan Satellite TV really cares, with a relaxed and pleasant program to pull us back to the good memories of the past, life is full of pride and frustration has become the past, only the unchanged melody echoes in the depths of the heart!
