Tsai GuoquanSome people like to listen to songs like the youthful energy of pop music, some people like to be full of passionate unrestrained hip-hop music, and some people like to listen to old songs mood and vintage music.
Some people like the youthful vigor of pop music, some like hip-hop music with passionate exuberance, and some like to listen to the mood and retro of old songs. In the seventies and eighties, there were two very hot singers in the Hong Kong music scene, and at that time, the two fans were like today's fans of the rice circle, and the quarrels between the two sides of the fans were very intense, and there were even over-excited behavior. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Hong Kong music scene, emerged a lot of music giants, especially the "Tam and Cheung" situation, more unforgettable to many people. With Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung competing for traffic at the same time, there is a young man who only started at the age of 29, but insisted on adding his own heavy in the music world.
Can be at the peak of his career, but suffered a car accident, resulting in cerebellar atrophy, paralysis of the lower body, overnight, the music dream into a bubble, his wife to send him to the nursing home after he seldom reappeared. Now 67 years old, he has been living in a nursing home for 18 years, and can only rely on friends and fans to get by, when the red generation of stars this way in the end experienced what? That year he was red-hot, in the end, how good is it?
Talking about the name of Cai Guoquan everyone certainly do not feel, but talking about "a lifetime of love you one" and other songs, many 70, 80 years should have heard, these songs are sung by the person is Cai Guoquan. In addition, Choi also sang with Alan Tam in songs such as "Strong Grass in the Wind", Tam's "After Sunset", and Jacky Cheung's "Forgive Me". At the time of Choi's entry into the Hong Kong music scene, the city's entertainment industry was booming.
At that time, the Hong Kong music scene could be said to be dominated by Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, whose position in the music industry was an unassailable high position, so there was little room for new singers in the music industry to grow at that time. However, under such circumstances, a dark horse in the music field broke into the Hong Kong music scene, that is Choi Kwok Kuen. Two years after the album was released, Choi released his first album "Forever Only Love You", it was this album that created the myth of Choi's overnight success. The album was so outstanding that many fans loved the album and the songs in the album were widely sung by everyone.
Extremely creative talentCai Guoquan does not have a high face value, nor does he have a background, and in a group of singers, he does not stand out, but he is extremely creative talent. Gradually, his musical talent was discovered, he began to sing, with "love you one lifetime" quickly became popular, Cai Guoquan also became very popular. The most popular Tsai Kuo Kuen, who has collaborated with singing stars such as Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam, has released a number of albums, which are highly sought after by fans. If we look at the development trend, it is also not surprising that Choy Kwok Kuen will become a generation of Hong Kong's superstar.
The fact that Choi was able to break through in the Hong Kong music scene at the time is a testament to his musical prowess, and if he didn't have such strong musical prowess and talent, people wouldn't have been able to love him. After breaking through in the music field, Choy Kwok Kuen also published many works, which were also very popular, in addition, Choy Kwok Kuen also created songs for some other musicians, these songs have achieved good results. Even some heavenly kings singers also sang Choi's songs, such as Alan Tam and Tsui Siu Fung.
Unlike other singers, such as tailors, who copy other people's works, Chua Kuo Kuen is more like a designer, who transforms the constant flow of inspiration from his own mind into songs. What can be inspired will always be exhausted by time, life, and trivia, and Tsai Kuo Kuen felt this so y that he decided to step back from the curtain for a while and let himself relax. In the nineties, Tsai organized a mini-concert as a response to his adoring friends, and since then, Tsai has been focusing on behind-the-scenes songwriting and executive producing.
This caused many fans to feel sorry for him, but understandably so, and to hope that he would see the light of day again soon. So by 2002, fans were thrilled when everyone heard the news that Choi Kwok Kuen was ready to make a comeback. But unfortunately, the second regrettable thing happened in Cai Guoquan's music career, Cai Guoquan was in a car accident on the way to Dongguan to play with his friends, and Cai Guoquan lost a lot of things as a result. Microcephaly and being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life was a big blow, but things couldn't be undone.
Cerebellar atrophyThese past few years, Cai Guoquan really hasn't appeared in front of the public much, and it's unfortunate news that he's once again causing an uproar.
49-year-old Cai Guoquan in and friends out to play, friends a person seven people four by car passing through the Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed highway section of Dongguan, a sudden tire blowout caused by a serious traffic accident, the vehicle out of control out of the more than 10 meters of wire guardrail, flipped off the bridge, fell into the 10-meter deep Mawei reservoir . A car accident, is nine deaths and injuries, even if you are lucky to escape, but also still the ghosts walked around, Cai Guoquan is both the lucky and unfortunate, he was strong through the dangerous period, but because of the back of the brain serious injury, after a month of sobriety, or left a serious after-effects, his cerebellum atrophy, the rest of his life can only be wheelchair to spend.
The Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s and 1990s saw the emergence of a number of musical giants, especially the "Tam and Cheung" situation, which is unforgettable for many people. With Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung competing for traffic at the same time, there is a 29-year-old young man, but hard to add their own in the music world. Can be at the peak of his career, but suffered a car accident, resulting in cerebellar atrophy, lower body paralysis, overnight, the music dream into a bubble, his wife sent him to a nursing home, and seldom reappeared. Now 67 years old, he has been living in a nursing home for 18 years, can only rely on friends and fans to receive help to live, when the red generation of stars this way in the end experienced what? That year he was red hot, in the end, how good?
Sent to a nursing homeFor those who love music and creativity, this is a fatal blow. In addition to not being able to continue the music career that he loves, Cai Guoquan is experiencing the warmth of human feelings, in the misfire years, surrounded by countless friends, dinner invitations constantly, can only let him point out one or two, or write a song. But after this car accident, many people saw that he had accomplished nothing, and perhaps even tired of themselves, have avoided, so that he was very heartbroken, and his spirit was seriously traumatized. And, what makes him even more desperate is that his formerly loving wife abandoned him in spite of all the opposition, sent Cai Guoquan to a nursing home, and then chose to leave, leaving only his dad to accompany him.
And now Tsai Kuo Kuen is 67 years old, due to paralysis has been living in a nursing home for nearly 20 years, living alone, although there are some artists friends to see him, but Tsai Kuo Kuen's basic living expenses are maintained by receiving the dole. Year after year, Choi Kuo Kuen only left behind the legend of the Hong Kong music scene, although left many songs, but many people have long forgotten him. Once there was the generation of the King of Songs, now it has come to this point, and it is also the despondency of life, everything is like a dream, and it goes up in smoke.
This stage on the radiant King of Song, that talented talent, late in life but can only be paralyzed in bed, still abandoned by his wife, the fate of life seems no longer in their own hands, can only wait for other people's pity and relief, in fact, we are still looking forward to, looking forward to the miracle of the occurrence of 67 years old, looking forward to him to re-write a new song, re- The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night!
