Have you ever heard "Orchid Grass", "Cotton Tree Road", "Childhood", "Olive Tree". If," and "Autumn Cicada." ...... And do you know who the original singers of these songs are?
Do you remember "you at the same table", "B minor after the rain", "youth without regret"? Whether or not you can still experience that innocent school feelings.
Thirty years ago in Taiwan is a dream and poetry of the era, when a group of college students, is ambitious and thoughtful about the future full of reform generation, they are dissatisfied with the current world circulated on the Japanese cry, Europe and the United States pop, or is the thirties Ying Ying ditties, so they organized themselves, their own composition, arrangement, singing some of the tone of the fresh and catchy songs, which they called the campus folk songs. They called them campus folk songs. The university students called on everyone to "sing their own songs", and a vigorous campus folk song movement spread throughout Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, and even the mainland a few years later. It was only because the mainland was so closed that they had no access to these authentic songs from the island. This was the very beginning of modern Chinese pop music, and it was the first youthful ditties of most of the milestones of the modern Chinese music scene. Thirty years of Taiwanese school songs along the way, full of poetry, full of legend, all kinds of voices of a hundred competing.
Ten years ago, the mainland also sang its own campus songs, it turned out that there is such a pop song, no heart-breaking love blunt, there is no crying complaining woman complaining about the male complex, is not what move to say love me confession. Maybe a sentence contains a shy look, maybe look at the sky and the earth and the sea are beautiful poetry. Want to say still shy.
The singer will grow old, but the campus still exists. The different cultures of the mainland and Taiwan nurture different campus life, the mainland's university campus life, from the boring test education out, try to try that was once forbidden first love, try to understand the outside world of human complexity, try to outline their future life ideal scroll. Comparatively speaking, Taiwan's campus songs are more anti-simplistic than mainland's campus songs in terms of arrangement. The same campus songs, they also sing love, also sing the ideal, also sing life, but in addition to these, they taste the countryside to pick up the interest (walking in the countryside on the road), Ling listen to literature (gently I go), calling the wanderer (floating clouds like the wanderer), concerned about nostalgia (straw shoes is the boat, dad is the sail), concerned about the country and the nation (the ancient East has a dragon), perhaps the culture, perhaps the different times and backgrounds. Is it that when it comes to the life of college students, it is always just the first love?
Don't say it's old-fashioned, don't say it's outdated. There is the hustle and bustle of the city, there will be the quiet of the countryside; there is the dynamic and fashionable youthful splendor, there is the mountain village scenery of the world. The city is accustomed to singing the melodious white-collar melody, to listen to the countryside is also to enjoy a quiet heart.
Is there anyone still holding a guitar and singing on campus in winter?
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new guitar, and you'll be able to sing the same song.
Thirty years in Taiwan, ten years in China, those who were so excited about the initiation of the college students, now either to change careers, or into the backstage, or to change the face, the building is empty, very few of their own. The time has been changing, the music world every day in the wind and clouds, how many old brands have long been empty, but I have been nostalgic for that full of art and spirituality and no commercial packaging of the times.
The silhouette of the people faded away, but I clearly still hear someone far away: I hope you still remember, always remember, we once had, shiny days.
Let's remember these names: Yinxia, Tsai Chin, Pao Mei-sheng, Wang Menglin, Qi Yu, Wang Xinlian, Ye Chiaxiu, Pan Anbang, Shi Xiaorong, Xu Xiaojing, Yang Fangyi, Wang Hailing, Chen Mingshao, Pan Yueyun, Zheng Yi, Ma Zhaojun, Li Jianfu, dolls ......
