July is the season of parting, and it is also the beginning of young students stepping out of school and facing the world in a different capacity.
At this special stage, Ucommune Li Lin's "Yellow Ribbon" album is the closest to the mixed feelings of students. Even though it was widely circulated twenty-nine years ago, our dialogue with the world remains the same.
In the hearts of young fans today, Lin Zhixuan is already a relatively unfamiliar name, not to mention the folk group "Youke Lilin", which existed for less than five years and was disbanded as early as 1995.
However, for the first batch of veteran fans who were exposed to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music, Ucommune Li Lin is an incomparably beautiful memory. The combination of Lin Zhixuan and Li Ji brings fans too many classic songs such as "Admit Mistakes, Yellow Ribbon, Youth Tour, Defending Love, Losing You Win the World, Just for You, Getting Married..." and so on, which are worth playing repeatedly.
As the second album of Youke Li Lin, "Yellow Ribbon" continues the high quality of the first album.
The album contains a total of ten works, most of which are composed independently by Li Ji. Don't look at Li Ji's identity as an inspirational best-selling author, businessman and psychological counselor, but in 1992, the only identity of this person is a talented music creator.
In addition, Yao Qian's "Graduation Commemorative Book", just by virtue of the first sentence of the opening chapter, "The phoenix flower has opened / The air has the taste of summer / Spend a thousand days with you / From the future to become a memory material", it will complete the classic and eternal transmission of this song.
Purely from the commercial influence of the record, compared with the sales easily exceeded one million, the first album that won the award softly, it must be admitted that "Yellow Ribbon" is indeed slightly inferior, and it is not the most famous album of Youke Lilin.
However, in view of the confidence and commercial autonomy that the first album successfully brought to musicians, Li Ji and Lin Zhixuan boldly explored the theme of the song in the second album, and also dared to show some real sounds and pictures, thus bringing a near-perfect artistic beauty.
Through this album, we seem to have seen two young people who are about to leave the campus, through music, telling their expectations for stepping into the society and starting a new life, and boldly expressing their true thoughts about love, friendship, and even society, the campus and the future.
In addition, I also have to sigh Lin Zhixuan's singing, as the lead singer of the group, Lin Zhixuan's beautiful voice with great recognition, as well as his super penetrating power in the high-pitched area, is simply a divine voice, which makes the listener deeply intoxicated.
What is even more incredible is that when Lin Zhixuan launched the "OneTake 2.0" album in October 2020, his one-shot live singing still maintained the supernatural performance at the beginning of his debut. Even compared with the youth of the 1990s, Lin Zhixuan's singing voice is more mature and charming.
Unfortunately, even though the group's third Chinese album "Youth Tour" and the fourth Chinese album "Defending Love" are still outstanding, Ucommune LiLin announced its dissolution after releasing its first collection "Yesterday, Today, Forever" in August 1995.
At that time, Lin Zhixuan followed his father's orders and concentrated on running the family heirloom printing factory, leaving Only Li Ji to continue to fight in the song world alone.
Unexpectedly, in 1996, the printing plant was destroyed by fire, and Lin Zhixuan made a comeback in the music scene, and successively released two albums, "Scatter It" and "The Tears of the Mona Lisa".
On the contrary, after Li Ji released his first solo album "A Li Ji" in 1997, he switched to the business world, and no personal album came out again.
It was not until 2006 that Lin Zhixuan and Li Ji joined hands again to hold the first and only concert tour since the debut of Youke Li Lin.
At this time, looking at them who are already old on the stage, I think of the youth throbbing when I listened to "Yellow Ribbon" at the beginning of the year. Can only sigh: the years can give style, but harvest too many memories.
