Princess Chen Huixian is 56 years old, and our ears are still echoing her "A Thousand and One Songs"

"Looking back slowly, the night that once belonged to each other...

There's so much to talk about in a flash..."

These are the two lyrics in the 1989 representative song "A Thousand and One Songs" that the famous Hong Kong female singer Chen Huixian spread throughout the streets. This song has become the memory of many people who have experienced the glory of the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s. Although Chen Huixian has long since withdrawn from the singing world, her bright voice and vivid singing have always echoed in our hearts.

"Red is still you, giving me the sun in my heart."

Like a fool who sheds tears, pray that you can be sympathetic and forgive. ”

In the 1980s, Hong Kong experienced post-war economic reconstruction, post-war tranquility, peace and freedom, inheriting and carrying forward the traditions of the Chinese nation, integrating the local areas of Cantonese and various immigrants to Hong Kong or elites or grassroots, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, Europe and the United States and other cultures, the ancient and modern, the combination of East and West, eclectic,...... It has cultivated and developed a large number of musical talents with profound heritage and creative talents.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Hong Kong music scene was at its peak.

In 1984, Chen Huixian, who has a sweet and beautiful voice line, entered the singing world, and with "The Promise of the Passing", "Dancing Street", "Silly Girl", "Where Life Does Not Meet", etc., won the Most Promising Newcomer Award of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs of Radio Television Hong Kong, the Female Singer Award of the Pop Chart of the Music Scene, the Golden Melody Award of the Top Ten Chinese of Radio Television Hong Kong, the Golden Melody Award of THE Top Ten Songs of TVB, the sales of published albums in Hong Kong reached four platinums, and Chen Huixian became the princess of the Hong Kong music scene.

In the 1980s, Mui Yanfang was a diva in the Hong Kong music scene, singing, dancing, acting and styling.

Although Chen Huixian has a beautiful singing voice and is pure and cutting-edge, she still feels that her career is developing in the shadow of the queen of heaven on the road of advancement.

And Mei Yanfang, as a diva, also felt the challenge from competitors such as the new generation of singers Chen Huixian and Lin Yilian.

There is a kind of "deprivation super reaction" in psychology, that is, among people and animals that were originally docile and docile, once the original possession is deprived, it is extremely likely to produce irritability, irrationality, biting the master and destroying their own good future.

In 1989, Chen Shufen, a gold medal manager in the Hong Kong music scene, heard "Sunset Song" composed by Japanese composer Yasuji Makaino and sung by singer Masahiko Kondo, and thought that this song would definitely be popular in Hong Kong, China, so she quickly went to Japan to buy the copyright of this song.

At this time, Princess Chen Huixian was looking for an outlet for how her excellent singing performance could get out of the shadow of Tianhou Mei Yanfang, and Mei Yanfang was also thinking hard about how she could maintain the status of Tianhou.

Chen Huixian's friend on the radio, Huang Xiajun, thought the song was very good and recommended it to Chen Huixian and his producer Ou Dingyu, who quickly bought the copyright to the song from Chen Shufen.

And the original singer of this "Sunset Song", Makoto Kondo, is exactly Mei Yanfang's former Japanese boyfriend.

For Mei Yanfang, if it is a strong newcomer competitor who sings her former lover to the sky, what will it mean for her?

At this time, she can only stand up, personally come out, and also cover this song of her former lover, relying on the strength and connections of herself and her team to compete with competitors.

Agent Chen Shufen first gave this song to Chen Huixian, which shows Chen Shufen's optimism and love for Chen Huixian.

Chen Shufen was originally Mei Yanfang's agent, so Chen Shufen, at The Request of Mei Yanfang, also gave the copyright to this song to Mei Yanfang.

Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang, one after the other, almost at the same time, chose the song of Makoto Kondo, and a contest between the princess and the diva singer reached its peak.

Chen Shufen and Mui Yanfang have a deep friendship, so chen Huixian's version is required to be released after July, thus giving Mui Yanfang enough time to create.

This competition has earned enough for the princess and the queen of heaven, the queen of heaven and the old lover, the veteran and the new person, and earned all kinds of heat.

The agents and producers of Chen Huixian's team were her boyfriend Ou Dingyu, who was very fond of her at the time, and another producer, Chen Yongming. The lyricist that Ou Dingyu invited for her was the gold medal lyricist Lin Zhenqiang, and the arrangement was the Filipino gold medal arranger Ludoni.

Mei Yanfang's team invited the famous lyricist Chen Shaoqi, who basically did not change the lyrics of the original work.

At this time, from the perspective of songs, Chen Huixian's talented voice and singing voice, the boyfriend producer's love for her, and the gold medal lyricist and arranger invited, Chen Huixian's team has surpassed Mei Yanfang's team.

From the perspective of the status and connections of the music scene, Mei Yanfang's power is difficult to shake.

Subsequently, Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand And One Passes" compared with Mei Yanfang's "Song of the Sunset" has shown obvious advantages in terms of momentum, singing degree, playback volume, record sales, etc.

However, in that year's Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Competition, Tianhou Mui Yanfang still won the best singer and best song awards of the year with her status and connections in the music scene. Princess Chen Huixian still lost to Mei Yanfang, a veteran of the music world.

This result caused great dissatisfaction among Chen Huixian's fans on the spot, and caused a conflict at the scene, bringing the confrontation between The Queen of Heaven and the princess to another climax.

The result of this evaluation made Chen Huixian, who had originally developed her singing career in the shadow of Mui Yanfang feel a lot of pressure and had already had the idea of leaving the Hong Kong music scene, making such an idea even more resolute!

"In the coming day, even if a thousand songs are sung, floating on my road in the distance,

In the coming day, even if the thousands of evening stars are brighter than tonight's moon,

None of them are as beautiful as this night, and they must not make me appreciate it more,

Because you sing with me tonight, how can you compare to the beauty of this night..."

Today, 32 years later, Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand and One Passes" is still deeply impressed, repeatedly echoed and full of excitement in the memories of our generation. I lamented the sudden farewell of such a talented singer in 1989. If it weren't for this farewell, how many good songs would Chan Huixian bring to make the Hong Kong music scene shine brightly, let pop music shine, and make our ears suddenly open?!

"Leaving you tomorrow morning, the road may be lonely and long,......

I had to stare deeply at this moment,......

Before leaving, I suddenly felt sad and beautiful,......
