Background of the composition of "Flowers in the Water"
"Flowers in the Water" is a song sung by Alan Tam in 1988, which received a large response in Hong Kong and mainland China. A Mandarin version of the song was also performed at the 1991 Chinese New Year Gala.
Because the Chinese New Year Gala could only sing the Mandarin version, and the song and other aspects could not be too open, so of course Alan Tam stood at the center of the stage in his suit and sang the song, which Alan Tam himself said was a bit uncomfortable. And, the lyrics of the song were changed a lot, and the lyrics of the Mandarin version were handed over to Doll. Then sang the famous "Flowers in the Water" in very rusty Mandarin.
