The current situation of the top ten popular singers in the 90s: Zhou Huajian Andy Lau became a classic, Gao Feng died early, Xie Dong fell to the altar, and Chen Xinglang did not move
What was the music scene like in the 1990s? I think it is an era of colorful and stars blooming, the Chinese music of this era, the music is pure, it is pure and it is deeply rooted in people's hearts to bring people a deep understanding.
Whose songs were you listening to in the 1990s? What kind of songs are you listening to? Is it Andy Lau, Li Ming, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok? Or Zhou Huajian, Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, Mao Amin, Yang Yuying? Or are you listening to "The Great China," "Smiley Face," and "Wandering Song"? Whatever it is, these people, these songs, I think in today's rapidly developing society can also remind you of some memories of more than twenty years ago, or beautiful love, or unforgettable youth, or a difficult entrepreneurial history. Any time there is music where we can stretch our inner emotions, whether it is the budding of youth or the sweetness of love, in the moment when there is music, you will feel a little warmth from the depths of the heart.
Music is so for us, and it is even more so for the group of musicians who create and interpret songs, every note that comes out of them is another form of their emotions, every word they sing carries their feelings about the society at that time, or their current emotions for this society, the music is pure for them, and every song is not mixed with anything other than music.
The 1990s were a rich year for the music scene, with different types of singers unleashing their charm. Let's walk into the music scene of the 90s, to perceive music, to taste life.
There were many popular singers in the 1990s, but there are very few people who are still active in the music world, some people sing and perform well, from the music world to the film world, some people gradually leave the music world with the passage of time, return to their own peaceful life, some people sing in heaven, and some people personally send themselves to drug rehabilitation.
Speaking of popular singers, it must be mentioned that Zhou Huajian, although he won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award in 1987, his 1991 release of "Let Me Rejoice and Make Me Worry" really made him stand firm in the Chinese music scene.
Born in Hong Kong, China in 1960, Zhou Huajian began to enter the music field in the 1980s, and until now Zhou Huajian is still active in the Chinese music scene, "Flower Heart", "Friend", "I Remember", "Is there a song that reminds you of me", "Sword like a dream", "Tomorrow you will marry me" and so on, until 2019, Zhou Huajian released a song called "Teenager", and one of the lyrics is sung like this" The years always run in front of the soul, fortunately there is still a little faith, accompany us to complete every day, do not forget the youth in our hearts."
There is a comment in the music software that goes like this: "From 1994 to 2019, you sing and sing and you get old, I grew up listening to it, I told my son that this person's name is Zhou Huajian, and my parents once took you all over China to chase his concert!" ”
Zhou Huajian has been singing since he was a teenager, until now, for Zhou Huajian, music is something that began to do at the age of 21, and we may still hear it at the age of 81, and the most recognizable voice sings "Teenager". How difficult it is to persist in any field, but Zhou Huajian has done it, every song of his song, every note sings his love of music, if you want to say who is the evergreen tree of the music world, I think Zhou Huajian must have a place in this.
And Zhou Huajian is also the king of Heaven Andy Lau, a few months ago in the Douyin hot list Andy Lau occupied the first place, singing and excellent performance, Andy Lau is not only the king of heaven in the music world, in the film world he is also praised by everyone for his acting school, the film emperor. He has not fallen behind in everything from public welfare undertakings, performance activities, and song releases, and now Andy Lau is still active in the film industry, and his songs are also classics.
There were many singers who became popular in the 1990s, but they are still active in front of the TV, and they can still see not many on the show, while Zhou Huajian and Andy Lau are still active in the Chinese music scene and the film world. The reason why they can grow forever is because of their pure insistence on music, and the emotions they want to express are always sincere and touching.
Some people are still singing, and some people have left early, maybe heaven will always be jealous of talented people, or maybe heaven needs such a singer.
Gao Feng was born in Hubei in 1968, and some people may wonder who is Gao Feng? But his songs you must have heard, in 1988 Gao Feng graduated from the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts entered the music scene, studying fine arts, he has no experience in the field of music, but he also successfully entered the Chinese music scene in the 1990s by relying on his own learning.
In 1988, Gao Feng began to enter the Chinese music scene and began to sing to some film and television dramas, and he sang many film and television dramas, including the song "Good Thoughts" of the TV series "Dangerous Time", the SONG series "Houmen Prodigal Son" song "Jin Does Not Change" and so on.
In 1991, Gao Feng signed a contract with Pu'an Company to release his first album "The Night After You Left", this year Gao Feng officially entered the music world, and it was in this year that Gao Feng, who changed from art major to music field, began to truly contact music knowledge, and successfully became a musician from a graduate.
In 1993, Gao Feng terminated his contract with the original company and became a free musician, in this year Gao Feng began to compose music and lyrics, he composed songs for friends, and constantly accumulated experience. Finally, after signing with EMI in 1994, he released his second album "Love over there", which was loved by everyone as soon as it was released, especially one of the songs called "Great China".
The catchy melody and simple and easy to remember lyrics will vividly express the love for China, and soon "Great China" spread throughout the streets and alleys, in 1996, Gao Feng appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with a song "Great China", released the album "Harvest" in the same year, and released the album "The Best Gift" the following year.
In the following years, Gao Feng studied abroad, studied various musical forms in London, in 2000 was hired by the University of Missouri as a visiting professor, created his fifth album "London Enlightenment", in 2001 released the song "Sunflower to the Sun" and "Will See", in 2002, Gao Feng released the last album of his life" "Brave New World", in the same year Gao Feng died due to ineffective treatment of viral pneumonia.
The last song "Brave New World", Gao Feng's life is surrounded by art, until the end of his life he is also singing, perhaps heaven also needs singers will take him away when Gao Feng is 34 years old.
Listening to Gao Feng's songs, there will be a sense of simplicity, he integrates music into life, singing not only a song but also his life journey.
Gao Feng's life was so short that no one could stop the torture of illness, but the musical works he left behind became eternal classics.
Singers who were also popular in the 1990s, some are still active in the music scene, some people have died early, and some people have slowly begun to lose themselves.
Xie Dong, compared to the previous singers, Xie Dong's work experience does not have too many twists and turns, his father is CCTV actor Xie Lingxiao, his mother is a single-string artist, it can be said that Xie Dong was born into an artistic family, after graduation, Xie Dong entered the CCTV work, participated in many TV series and evening shooting.
In 1993, he successfully entered the music scene with the song "Smiley Face", and then the 1994 song "Smiley Face Waiting All the Way" quickly made him one of the most popular pop singers at that time.
In 1995, Xie Dong established his own company, and in 1996, he published his second solo album "Waiting for You Again", and the same Xie Dong also participated in the performance of the film and television series, becoming the male protagonist of Guan Hu's film, serving as the male protagonist of the TV series "Lovers Eventually Become Dependents".
Xie Dong along the way seems to be thriving, his acting career has also entered a climax, a song, a movie and tv series, etc., his popularity continues to improve, perhaps feel that the self needs to be improved again, in 1997 Xie Dong released the third album, in the next year after the release of this album, Xie Dong briefly bid farewell to the music scene, once again returned to the campus, into the Beijing Film Academy's Literature Department for study, I thought that Xie Dong's reappearance in front of the public should be more scenery, more poetry and bookish self-glory.
However, xie dong appeared again because of drug use by the public security organs, in 2007, Xie Dong and his girlfriend were detained for taking drugs at home, because of the small amount of drugs they were soon released, originally thought that this matter passed, but in 2008, once again, Xie Dong was taken away by the public security organs because of drug use, this time Xie Dong was sent to a drug rehabilitation center, and was successfully released after half a year of drug rehabilitation.
Xie Dong, who should have been very popular, personally ruined his future in his own hands this time, Xie Dong also released songs after leaving the drug rehabilitation center, but he did not get more attention, and now Xie Dong is no longer the Xie Dong on the big stage at that time.
Now Xie Dong sings at a country wedding, with not much appearance fee, family life is not very rich, now he seems to be very satisfied with his life, he wrote on his social software "I just want to sing, I don't want to be famous."
Whether Xie Dong wants to be famous now or not, he is a person who has fallen from a high place, perhaps experiencing a high place, over time, and family life, he now wants to live his own life.
Now Xie Dong does not have the aura of the past, from becoming a popular singer in the nineties to the current ordinary people who only want to sing, time can really take away a lot, but people's inner wealth is also given by time.
He has written popular songs all over the country, he has also written Buddhist songs, he wanders in all directions, using music to give a home to the heart, he is the "wandering singer" Chen Xing in the nineties.
Chen Xing was born in Honghu, Hubei In 1966, his parents are folk artists, he has a strong perception of songs since he was a child, at first he followed his father around to imitate performances, Chen Xing learned a lot. He once went to art school on his own, but later dropped out of school to take the exam again and entered the university to study formal music composition. Because of his dissatisfaction with the assignment of jobs after graduation, he left his hometown for Guangdong, where Chen Xing experienced failure and saw the warmth of home.
As a result, in 1997, a "New Migrant Nursery Rhyme" he entered the hearts of many people, Guangdong in the nineties, is the gathering place of migrant workers, and in this place Chen Xing released a song written for the workers "New Migrant Workers Nursery Rhymes" "Leaving parents and friends, waving with tears in their eyes" A simple and unpretentious lyrics, after walking through countless hit workers, when the wanderers are inside, they are plated with a layer of gold.
It is everyone who goes out for the hometown of the miss, deeply embedded in it, and then Chen Xing took advantage of the hot iron and launched the song "Wandering Song", this song was published as soon as it was published by the people of the whole country, slightly sad melody with lyrics with great emotional expression, little by little penetrated into the heart of every wanderer who was wandering outside.
A song sang the innermost voice of countless workers and wandering people. In 1999, a year after the release of the second album song "Looking home", the song "The Child Who Left Home" was released, and chen xing successively published a number of songs expressing the homesickness of the wanderer, and on the basis of "wandering song", people also called Chen Xing "wandering singer".
In addition to homesickness, Chen Xing also wrote a lot of songs about the love story between workers, included in his album, Chen Xing is not only a popular singer in the 1990s, but even in the early 21st century he was also one of the singers who constantly released musical works.
It is such a singer, who has opened a concert tour in the southwest, and who has continuously released singles, chose to join Buddhism in 2009 and began to compose some Buddhist songs such as "Past Life Mantra", "Bodhisattva Blessing" and so on.
Some people say that this "wandering singer" wave does not move, after 2015 Chen Xing has not released songs, returned to life Chen Xing is now an internet musician, on the platform he has nearly three million fans, live singing with goods, when he sings the songs of the past again can still evoke memories.
For people at that time, Chen Xing did not seem to be a singer, he was like an ordinary person around him, I think this is also the best evaluation of him, precisely because his songs made the listeners feel the real emotional resonance, evoking their thoughts of home and family.
Time always runs fast, and in the blink of an eye, the people who listen to these songs are nearly middle-aged or even older, although time has taken away the youthful appearance, but what remains is the thickness of life. These singers are the same, maybe they are nearly sixty years old, but their songs have become the inner classics of a generation.
Music can often heal people's hearts, and those who create music are the same existence as the soul of music, they use their own inner thoughts, or their own personal experience, they can bring people often a deeper understanding. It is precisely because these songs with practical experiences resonate with people more, they can be evergreen in the music world, and their songs can become classics in the music world.
