The song is called "Walking on the Waves" comes from a Taiwanese romantic literary film "I Came on the Waves" 40 years ago, and the singer is Shen Yan.
According to Taiwanese media, Shen Yan died before Christmas in 2020 at the age of 60. An informed source revealed that Shen Yan was suspected of having heart-related diseases and died peacefully in his sleep before Christmas last year. Previously, singer Zhang Beixin, who worked for the same record company as Shen Yan, posted a post saying that a friend recently passed away and she felt sad in her heart. Some netizens asked if it was Shen Yan? Zhang Beixin did not answer. Jiang Ling, who was known as the Jade Girl idol together with Shen Yan, also relented and said that she had heard about it.
Shen Yan (formerly known as Zhou Meilin), with long hair, delicate face, and beautiful temperament, quickly became popular with "A String of Hearts" and "Walking on the Waves", sweeping Hong Kong and Taiwan. She rose to the top of the music scene alongside Jiang Ling and Yinxia. At that time, Taiwan's first generation of idols was called the "leader of idols" by the Taiwanese media. From the end of 1979 to 1986, she performed well as a singer and in movies. In 1987, she quit the music scene and settled in New York with her boyfriend, where she ran a flower shop and had two sons.
2. The beautiful lady rides away on the waves
You may not know Shen Yan, but you should have heard "Walking on the Waves" when you were a child, no matter who sang it. "Treading the Waves" was originally sung by Shen Yan. It was the theme song of the 1980 Taiwanese movie "I Come Riding the Waves". It was later introduced to the mainland through a cover by Zhu Fengbo. Xu Huaiyu, Zhuo Yiting, Andy Lau, Black Duck and others have also covered it. It is a Cantonese song A popular campus song.
It was quite sad to hear the news of Shen Yan’s death. Although many netizens were not born when Shen Yan became popular, her "A String of Hearts" and her last album "Four Seasons" are both quite good. I didn't expect that Shen Yan had passed away last year, so I saw the news report online. It was so unexpected. A few years ago, I watched the old movie "Pretty Like a Colorful Butterfly" starring Shen Yan and Zhong Zhentao on CCTV 6. I have to lament that life is so unpredictable. I hope that a generation of beautiful female singers will fare well and continue to sing in heaven. There are really fewer and fewer old singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan in that era. Basically every once in a while, you can find out that so and so is no longer there. Now everyone really needs to cherish the time when some of them are still there. In the past In the future, I really need to cherish the time I can still listen to music every day and every night... The old songs of my childhood, when I recall them today, I feel familiar. Unfortunately, the beautiful woman who once rode the waves to pick orchids and grass is no longer there.
