The original singer of Faye Wong’s Hongdou song is Faye Wong herself.
"Red Beans" is a song sung by Faye Wong. It was written by Lin Xi, composed by Liu Zhongyan, and arranged by Xin Weili. It was released on October 2, 1998 and included in the album "Singing Tour".
In 1999, this song won the Radio Television Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award.
Liu Zhongyan, the composer of "Red Bean", said that when he composed "Red Bean", he was thinking about Faye Wong's voice. He particularly admired her voice and imagined how she would sing. The song came out within a few minutes. .
When Lin Xi, the lyricist of "Red Beans" was writing, she saw a Japanese drama on TV. In the drama, the heroine was cooking red beans. She cooked the red beans because she was thinking about breaking up. So Lin Xi followed the plot while thinking of lyrics, and thus created "Red Bean".
In addition to the catchy melody of "Red Bean", Lin Xi's delicate and lingering writing style also adds a lot of color to the song; Faye Wong's voice sounds a little diffuse, but the form is scattered but the spirit is not dispersed, which is particularly special. It is full of emotions in the middle and expresses naturally. It is worthy of being a model of a love song. "Red Bean" can be said to be the most popular and widely sung representative song in the "post-Faye Wong era".
