The father of Chinese pop music: Lai Jinhui.
Who is Lai Kam-fai? The name is indeed unfamiliar to today's young people, but in China half a century ago, his name was thunderous. In the cultural circles of modern China, he is a strange man who combines many achievements. He has an important seat in the history of Chinese music, drama, film, literature and education, and in some fields, he is worthy of the reputation of "founder" and "founder", and in the 1920s and 1940s, he created one "milestone" after another in China's cultural undertakings. In the program "One Hundred Years of Song" of CCTV's "CCTV Boutique" channel, you will learn about Li Jinhui's extraordinary life. Looking at all of Lai's achievements, the most prominent and important achievement is, of course, music.
Past and today, the music industry acknowledges that Li Minghui is the father of pop music in China. His "Drizzle", "Peach Blossom River", "Special Express", "Deep Night", "Little Jasmine", "Rose Everywhere", "Sister I Love You" and so on, are the earliest popular songs in China. His popular song collection "100 Family Love Songs", which was published in 16 volumes by Shanghai Civilization Book Company, had a huge impact on China at that time. His 1928 composition and composition of The Little Painter is considered to be the abuse of 20th-century Chinese opera. In recent years, an American musician published the book "Yellow Music", which means the music of the yellow crowd, calling Li Jinhui "the first person in yellow-skinned music" and pointing out that Li Jinhui has pushed forward the development of Chinese music "at least twenty years". Li Jinhui combines Western jazz with Chinese local folk music and promotes it in China and even Southeast Asia, so that Chinese music can develop internationally. The years are like a long river, and the sound of empty tides is stirring. When we look back fondly at the source of Chinese pop music, Li Jinhui's voice and smile are so vivid, and his works have become the background music that will always echo in our memories. Without him, the modern era of old Shanghai would have been eclipsed. Without him, the history of Chinese pop music would not be postponed to what year and month. Without him, Zhou Xuan, Wang Renmei and other superstars of a generation may be lonely for life.
Without him, our ears might be forever wandering in another world. Now, let's walk into the CCTV "Nostalgic Classics" channel, listen to the songs created by Li Jinhui, and awaken the glorious years that belong to him.
