10 tapes kept as souvenirs (1)

I stumbled upon a small cardboard box covered with dust. Like an archaeologist, I carefully brushed away the dust from the surface and gently opened it. For a moment, my heart was full of anticipation, in case it was an ancestral treasure. In that case, I don't plan to pass it on to my family, immediately get Poly to auction, get eighteen million, and suddenly become a local tycoon. From then on, every day I bought two elbows, I ate one, the dog ate one, and after the wine and dinner were full, we wiped our mouths and went around the street. Don't tie the dog leash, in case you bite someone, you will give you a rabies vaccine, who let us have money.

After the box is opened, what comes into view is neither the calligraphy and paintings of the Song Dynasty nor the blue flowers of the Ming Dynasty, but a pile of somewhat old audio tapes, and dozens of plates are crowded together. After a brief disappointment, curiosity quickly prevailed. When these tapes were in this box, and where they were lurking for so long, there was no impression for a long time. Undoubtedly, this is something from the eighties and nineties of the last century, and if you are not careful, you will cross the century.

I am a person with an old complex, although this thing has been worthless, but it is not egged, let me immediately throw it all away, obviously a little sadistic. After thinking about it, I had to compromise and pick out a part of it as a souvenir. I don't dare to use the word collection, that is too grand, it is better to use it. Along with it was the dual-sim tape recorder, which was probably the older item left in the house. The tape recorder was bought when they were married, and it can still be used today, and the brand is "Planet", made in Changzhou; in terms of popularity, it seems to be second only to yancheng's "Swallow Dance" at that time. The machine has an automatic flip function, which was very advanced at that time.

I pride myself on being a veteran of literature and art in wireless cities, and I am a veteran, and in addition to dancing and ink, I now have new evidence. These tapes prove that I loved music at a young age and was an audiophile, which shows that the pressure of widowhood was very high more than twenty years ago.

1. "Sister Drum"

This tape should have been released in 1996. I remember very well that year I moved from a bungalow where I had lived for several years to a building. That summer and autumn, every day after work and dinner, I went to the new house to work on furniture. I can't believe it now, I used to be a carpenter. With a knife and saw, a planer, and a hammer, ten pieces of furniture were made, of course, all of which were small pieces, shoe cabinets, hanging cabinets, miscellaneous cabinets, and so on. Later, I also wrote an essay called "My Masterpiece", which recorded the process of making furniture with my chest open and sweating like rain. Look, at that time, how much I loved life.

Every night, I listen to music while I work. The tape that I have been listening to is this "Sister Drum". Open the tape cartridge, take out the cover, a note fell out of it, open it, it is actually a receipt for the purchase of the tape, it said that the purchase time is September 4, 1996. Confirmed the accuracy of my memory.

I like Zhu Zheqin's voice, ethereal, ethereal, as if coming from the clouds. Later, Zhu Zheqin opened a concert, and the name was "Heaven Singing in the World", which was really good. The producers of this tape seem to be brothers, most of the lyrics are written by He Xunyou, and the music is composed by He Xuntian. These three people together can be said to be a match made in heaven. Zhu Zheqin was the most internationally influential singer at that time, compared with the pop singers of the same period, it was the difference between angels and Cinderella.

The style of "Sister Drum" has a strong Tibetan element, which sounds strange and mysterious, and at that time, it was an absolute natural sound. Zhu Zheqin's singing is also distinctive, either singing in a low voice or bursting out, just like a lady-like girl standing next to her, suddenly drawing her sword at each other, making people excited. This feeling especially boosted my morale as a carpenter.

2. "Unforgettable You"

To put it bluntly, the name of this cassette tape is quite clumsy, if it were not for the singer Lin Yilian, I would be the first to throw it away. Look, throw things away without a word.

This is Lin Yilian's early works, most of which are relatively unfamiliar, and are still popular, should be "Falling in Love with a Person Who Doesn't Go Home". Using this song as the title of the album is also a hundred times stronger than "Unforgettable You".

Among the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, I liked Lin Yilian earlier. In addition to singing well, it is also because Lin Yilian belongs to a small and exquisite beauty, especially those small eyes, which are very charming. Generally speaking, I like girls with small eyes, and it doesn't matter if they have single eyelids; small eyes give people a sense of introversion, subtlety, and charm; the kind of girls who stare at a pair of big bell-like eyes and drip and turn around, which makes people wonder.

The combination of Lin Yilian and Li Zongsheng has brought his singing art to its peak state. "When Love Has Become a Thing of the Past" has undoubtedly become a classic of love song duets, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to be surpassed for a while and a half - the past should not be mentioned again / Life has been stormy / Even if the memory cannot be erased / Love and hate are still in the heart / Really want to break the past / Let tomorrow continue well / You don't have to ask my news bitterly.

It seems to be a word, and the two of them are separated again.

The boat of love turns over.
