As a native of southern Fujian, from childhood to adulthood, when other people's color television sets broadcast Hunan Satellite TV programs, in my home, it is always black and white television sets, Taiwanese programs, and weekends, always occupied by parents, can not be transferred from music programs.
Her mother favored female singers such as Jiang Hui, Huang Yiling, and Feng Feifei, while her father favored Ye Qitian and Chen Lei. Only for Cai Qiufeng's song, parents like it.
The two will also change from a state of contention to a cessation, just quietly listening to Cai Qiufeng's "Gold And Silver" on the black-and-white TV set.
<h1>Parents are not gold and silver youth</h1>
From my mother, it turned out that when I was in her belly when I was a child, she often listened to Hokkien songs on the radio, while constantly knitting clothes and subsidizing the family. The radio broke one after another, and the father, who had always slammed the door, was willing to buy a new one for his mother. When my sister was born and my mother began to leave the house and look for a job in the factory, the radio was left idle, or even abandoned. As soon as it was abandoned, the radio grew old, along with this memory that I could not remember.
It wasn't until the black-and-white television set appeared at my house that the fanaticism of my parents, who used to stand by the radio and listen to songs, returned. They stood in front of the television.
Amazingly, I would sing a sentence or two in most of the Hokkien language on the TV, and I knew it well that I hadn't deliberately memorized it. It wasn't until my mother told me about the music of the prenatal education that I understood. But at the time, it was only a matter of hearing it and forgetting it.
Occasionally, when his father's unit called to ask his father to work overtime on a windy and rainy day, he was wearing a raincoat and humming "Gold and Silver". I asked my father, is it okay not to go to the unit? It was windy and rainy outside, and I was afraid that my father would have an accident.
But the father said, don't go, don't go.
My father was singing, "The lives of others are inlaid with gold and silver." ”
Those ignorant people when I was a child, until I worked today, and when I overheard "Gold and Silver" again, I tasted the taste of life.
In "Please Answer 1988", Deshan tearfully accuses her parents at Paula's birthday party why Paula is called Paula and Lu Yi is called Lu Yi, only she is called Cheng Deshan. At that time, Deshan kept crying and complaining, and most of the time his parents were just silent.
In the silence, it is more their current guilt, failing to give their children a comfortable enough family economic environment. But in the end, Deshan forgave his parents and accepted that he was their daughter— an indisputable fact.
My mother took "Gold and Silver" and sang: When I fell to the ground, I encountered bad characters.
Thinking about the love of my parents for this song before, I can't help but wonder if they were at that time, they also secretly sighed in their hearts, why is their life like this?
My grandmother passed away before my mother was married, and my grandfather died 3 months after I was born. I don't know if when my mother heard this song, did she also think back to her parents and remember her family situation at that time?
I knew my father would have sighed.
As the middle child of the family, my father has never been loved by my grandmother. Grandpa was gone very early, so when Dad was 13 years old, he began to work outside the home to earn a living. Some children of the same age are still playing happily, and their fathers can already follow the adults to the sea.
"The wild birds outside the window also sing for me." I don't know if this wild bird will also chirp for its father.
Poor families are not something that a father can choose, is not loved by his mother, nor is he able to control. Countless voices can only be pinned on music, trying to digest and release themselves when he sings.
"People in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves." Cai Qiufeng's unique nasal resonance singing voice makes the sense of bondage more intense, and also makes the unfairness of fate produce more helplessness.
When the Supreme Treasure put down the headband, he couldn't save Zixia, but when he put on the headband, he wouldn't be able to save Zixia. Such a life is helpless, but real life is even more helpless.
The words written by my father are very beautiful. Because it is neat and good-looking, every new semester, I will let my father give me a new school bag and book cover, and write the name of the subject. Every time, my father was very careful to help me do a good job. And in that eye, there was the loss and helplessness of being away from the classroom when he was young.
There will always be richer children, like gold and silver, who can speak loudly and do what they want. But the children of poor people can only stand far away and cannot get close.
"Worthless life," desolate and sad.
<h1>Cai Qiufeng and Cai Zhennan's jianghu life</h1>
The song, launched by Cai Qiufeng around 1980, was written by the famous Tsai Zhennan in Taiwan at that time. Mr. Choi is also a well-known record producer and singer.
Compared with the youthful pain and helplessness of his parents' generation, Mr. Cai Zhennan even lowered the perspective of his song to the authorities of Taiwan society at that time.
At the age of thirteen, he went out to work, because of his love for the guitar, he worked as a guitarist in a song and dance troupe, and followed the song and dance troupe all over Taiwan. Wandering in the middle and lower classes of Taiwan, seeing too much helplessness and prosperity in the world, he finally pinned what he saw and heard on music.
Many of his lyrics describe the daily life of people at that time.
Cai Qiufeng sang this song "Wipe Out the Broken - What Music" at that time very realistically wrote about the atmosphere of gambling in Taiwan and even in the fujian and southern Fujian regions of the mainland at that time.
In order to gamble, people who should have gone to the market early to set up stalls to sell things were dragged to the stalls late. Everyone went out into the street in a daze and went to the temple early in the morning to draw lots, chanting the zodiac sign he dreamed of last night. In the evening, I went to see the word "disappeared" again. ”
Behind everyone's obsession with gambling is the mentality that everyone is unwilling to face a painful and poor life, preferring to believe that they can one day change their fate through good luck.
Everyone's crazy state was looked at by Cai Zhennan.
Cai Qiufeng debuted since she was a child, although her family initially disagreed with her going out to "sell art" at a young age, but in the end, seeing her love for singing, she agreed. The life of fishermen and going out to sea to catch fish has made Cai Qiufeng learn to understand things at a young age and understand that the life of poor people is not easy.
When she sang "What Music", she adopted a tone similar to the song boy play, with her unique wine falling throat singing, singing the social atmosphere of "positive wind".
Cai Zhennan and Cai Qiufeng, one singing the voice of the people with lyrics, and the other using the voice of the song to elicit the emotions of the people.
And my father and mother were just individuals in it.
They and all the people of that generation at that time were always humming this song "Gold and Silver", turning around, facing the wind and waves, sinking into one powdery factory after another, willingly burying their heads in work for their own economic resources. But when I looked up at the extravagant life of others, I reluctantly sang "Gold and Silver".
Until today, through the corner of this song, I have a new glimpse of my parents' youth and bitterness at that time.
In what voice should I answer you, my parents? Then listen to "Gold and Silver" again.
I'm Jane Ann, like my words, just pay attention to me~
