I wrote the song Sailor in the bathtub that year. The song Sailor was written by Zheng Zhihua while he was taking a bath in the bathtub. For him who didn't know music at that time, this was a realistic portrayal of true feelings. Sailor is probably the most popular inspirational song, and almost everyone will hum a few words. This song inspired many people, forget the sorrow, to forget the failure, go forward bravely, and pursue their dreams with heavy burdens.
If you listen carefully to Zheng Zhihua's lyrics, you will find that the "hope" in his music is dim and all of them are born from "despair". It is that he refuses to admit defeat in the face of fate, that he is dogged by illness and stubbornly resists, but that he hates evil and sees through the indifference of the world. He said that the whole world was "chaotic". He was the kind of person who cried twice in his life, once when he fell to the ground and once when he saw through the despair of life.
In the lyrics, "Father's scolding and mother's crying will never be forgotten", the young Zheng Zhihua was forced by the pressure of life under the torture of illness. I was mistakenly labeled as "inspirational", but "it's not like this."
A sailor who writes about sailors is an unintentional sailor. In the first paragraph, he said that "he always looks like a coward". Only through experience can he understand what this sentence is saying. Most people can only hear the lyrics, and a few people hear the hardships he has experienced and are laughed at by countless peers.
The third paragraph is the abbreviation of society and the focus of the whole song. "It's too difficult to step on footprints on parking roads in cities", which tells us that although life in cities is good, it is not easy to leave your own "footprints" and make some achievements. Zheng Zhihua is a musician who can tell stories best. His lyrics look simple, and the melody is mostly straightforward, but it sounds like a terrible pain. These songs are all about their own stories, but they sing about people's lives.
"Sailor" is definitely an indelible symbol of the post-80s generation, and it is a widely spread inspirational song. It has inspired many people who have encountered setbacks in their career and life and given them great relief. The power of fighting can be said that this song has influenced a generation from the spiritual level.
As early as 2000, Zheng Zhihua married his wife Zhang Yuya and gave birth to a lively and beautiful daughter. Life is perfect. Because of her childhood regret, Zheng Zhihua tried her best to give her daughter a warm childhood. I even went back to the stage to let my daughter listen to her sing. A sailor who bravely showed his sword to fate, under the gentle package of his family, gradually got wet.
