Xu Xiaofeng, as distant as a certain star in the depths of memory. But when you say to her: I grew up listening to your songs. This star will playfully return to you: I grew up singing.
Anita Mui is known as the successor to Paula Tsui
In 1982, at the age of 19, Anita Mui formally entered the music industry, but before that, she had already been on stage for more than a decade, as she was already performing with her sister when she was just four years old in order to support her family. That year, Mui took part in the first New Talent Singing Competition organized by Hong Kong's TVB, and her entry was to sing Tsui Siu Fung's latest pop song "Season of the Wind".
Then-judge Wong Chim gave her a perfect score of 50, while judge Koo Ka Fai scored only 49. Wong Chim asked Koo why he deducted a point, and he said there is no such thing as a perfect score in art. In the end, Anita Mui won the champion of that new talent competition, and officially entered the music industry, and Huang Zhi and Gu Jiahui already saw that this little girl will certainly become a great successor of Xu Xiaofeng in the future.
Who are the lyricists?
"Season of the Wind" was first sung by Xu Xiaofeng in 1981 and is one of her masterpieces. Xu Xiaofeng's timbre makes this song "Season of the Wind" more expressive of female heroism and emotionally undriven feelings. Her singing voice is not high-pitched and restless, exuding absolute penetration in its gentleness, not dull and heavy, but absolutely infectious in its pallor and antiquity, and her classical temperament is also on display in the song.
"Season of the Wind" is composed of lyrics by Tang Zhengchuan and music by Li Yasang, sung by Xu Xiaofeng. The content of the lyrics complement the melody and the emotions expressed are in a state of relative indifference, and the song expresses the free-spiritedness from the lyrics to the fullest.
This classic song is one that I get excited to sing silently every time I hear it on various occasions. At first it just made me feel like a tender three-minute reminder of the past, time and the good old days. But as time passes, listening to the song again gives me a haunting sense of confusion and panic about the future, and a reverence for wasted time.
Why is it still sung by Paula Tsui?
Then Xu Xiaofeng, as well as the singers in my "Oldies" list, they are using their own voices and their own singing skills to sing their own stories, with simple but appropriate accompaniment, whether it is intoxicated, missing, shy, lost or hopeful and other moods, all of which are their own heart first to create a good atmosphere. It's an intriguing and listenable piece of music that creates an atmosphere before letting the listener in.
And Xu Xiaofeng's voice is marvelous, like the slightly undulating earth, like a warm comforter, giving people a kind of motherly and sisterly comfort. Her greatest love is singing, and although she is no longer in her prime, she still manages to sing whenever she wants to, and whenever she gives a concert, fans flock to her.
