If you're not that familiar with Mandela, you've probably heard beyond's famous song "The Glory Days." In 1990, Wong left Hong Kong alone and came to Africa to witness the suffering of African people because of the war. This deeply shocked the colt. JiaJu once wrote in his diary: "Under the fierce sun, a group of old people dressed in dirt danced and danced to welcome us with sweat. I asked the people around me suspiciously, did our arrival help them? Or did it hurt them? This rhetorical question plunged the foal into deep contemplation. After he returned to Hong Kong after that visit, it was at this time that the Beyond Third World Foundation was officially established. 1991 " This song was originally written by Huang Jiaju to Mandela, the era in which Mandela lived, and his determination to change the world in that glorious era. In 1991, Wong again traveled to Africa with Beyond, a country ruled by whites before Mandela became president. Whites make up only one-fifth of the black population. So this shows that the number of blacks is very large, because black people have not read books since childhood, which also leads to black people can only do the dirtiest and most tired work, and the gap between rich and poor is very large. In order to solve this problem, the rulers of the time enacted the Bantus Act, which drove blacks to specially designated settlements, thus further intensifying racial tensions.

It was then that Mandela stepped forward and began to fight the white government. He gave up the favorable living conditions and threw himself into the struggle without hesitation. Later, because of his long-term racial struggle, he was arrested and imprisoned in 1962 and stayed for 27 years. During his imprisonment, he insisted on exercising and reading books every day. During this period, he also won a piece of land for himself. He planted plants on that land until 1990, under pressure from the international community, when Mandela was unconditionally released and the freed Mandela traveled to the Soweto football stadium, where he delivered his famous release address to 120,000 people, and in 1994 Mandela became the first black president in South Africa's history, and he enjoyed a high reputation as the president of the world. This song is Wong Ka Koo's, dedicated to Mandela a song of praise for freedom. When he saw the story of Mandela being trapped in prison in the newspaper, he felt quite touched in his heart and felt that there was a resonance between the two. In his view, Mandela's spiritual connotation is resistance and hope, and everyone needs freedom, equality, and human rights. The song "Glorious Years", which was created later, is also a tribute to the great leader Mandela! It is said that in his later years, Mandela, after hearing the song, immediately found someone to translate the lyrics. When he listened to the meaning of the lyrics, he couldn't help but burst into tears, this may be Mandela's life!
