1961September 27th, this day may be an extremely ordinary day for many people, but it is indeed a festive day for the Liu family in Taiheng Village, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong, because on this day, the fourth child of the Liu family was born, and he is a future superstar.
Andy Lau, we walked into "This is how I grew up".
Andy Lau wrote in the article, "Thirteen are old songs that once dominated the Hong Kong music scene. The era when golden songs were popular coincided with my personal growth. From the study training class to the performance of "The Condor Heroes" to today, these songs really confirm my youth. "
What are the youth years like? What are the real memories of a star at the age of 34 and the life experiences of the former "Four Kings"?
In the preface of this essay collection, Andy Lau wrote down his true feelings about life, which is simple, sincere and simple. This is probably the life he wants.
"Every time I step into the recording studio, I will think of many, many: familiar faces, warm life scenes, dribs and drabs, and warm hearts. I decided to write down all these feelings, which is a rare emotion: sincerity and simplicity. I hope that through these small words, I can write my heart by hand and let my friends share the growing family, friendship and love with me! "
Andy Lau mentioned a song in his prose, which is probably a portrayal of his love when he was young: "At this time, the song" I still remember that time "was playing on the radio in the carriage, and I laughed when I listened to it. I don't know why, I actually thought of Chen Yulian and remembered the first time I saw her on Radio Television Hong Kong that year. "
I still remember that time was written by talented scholar Huang Zhifeng and composed by two schools in George Lam, creating a classic. Even if we look at the lyrics today, they are still so fresh and moving. Andy Lau also sang the voice of the people in the song.
"Remember bam once.
Dependence on wind and nature
Think of people or yearn for ecstasy.
I see you are an adult.
No more infatuation
Why is it in my heart?
Remember that time?
It's hard to know you in the morning.
Acacia for life "
This song probably sings Andy Lau's special feelings for Chen Yulian, because Chen Yulian, the aunt in The Condor Heroes, is the goddess in Andy Lau's heart and "remembers that time". This feeling may be a feeling that many people have lost. For young people, love is a cage that they can never break free from, and it is also a trap that they are willing to invest in.
Andy Lau also has a very real description of the past lives of the stars, and his writing is cordial. It seems that an ordinary person appears in front of us, instead of Andy Lau in Starlight Glimmer, and we can see a real Andy Lau.
He wrote in his prose: "In the ten years from a young boy to today, I have understood ups and downs, life and death, clutch and moodiness." False accusations, accusations, and finding fault, I have been furious with these things that are out of thin air, and my mood has fallen into an extreme trough. I ask myself why I have tried my best, but I still have to face the blame! It's hard not to be understood. "
Being a star is not an easy task. We often see glamour, but we can't see the sadness behind it. This is a road that everyone knows, but we often can't understand it, because people only like glamour.
"In the past ten years, the faces that passed by have changed again and again, like the facial makeup in Peking Opera, which is indiscriminate, uninterrupted, and the scenery of the past may be when you are lonely and poor today; Today, people who are down and out are flying around the branches, proud and domineering, or this illusion is infinitely fascinating. However, ten years later, there are still several unforgettable faces: Wang Ban Pan, Ye Dexian and Chen Yulian. "
"Chen Yulian's eyes can talk, but what she said is cold, dull and weak. I never saw a trace of longing in her eyes.
Eyes, maybe she has always been a girl who wants to live a quiet life. "
Chen Yulian is probably Guo Er's "aunt" who will never leave, so that Andy Lau mentioned this smoky past several times in his article.
1992 in may, Andy Lau released "thank you for your love". This song is his first attack in Mandarin music after he was awarded the title of "Four Kings". It can be said to be a great success. This song is of far-reaching significance to the music circle and Andy Lau himself. Thank you for your love, whether for others or for yourself. Thank those who have loved me.
"Don't ask me how many people I have loved in my life.
You have no idea how hurt I am.
It's always cruel to open a wound.
I advise you not to be an infatuated person.
Make out for a while
Don't like loneliness
But afraid to get along with each other.
This is obviously a kind of pain. "
Andy Lau's love for life and life also has his own unique description of life in and out of the play. Is life like a play or a play like life?
"Life is a flower, and love is dew. We have been looking for flowers like hardworking bees all our lives, hoping to blossom and bear fruit, having a most beautiful and favorite flower, keeping her by our side and caring for her forever. Every time I love to death in front of the camera, I can't bear to leave, but when the director says "card", love fades. I once asked myself: Is love really such a joke? Can love really be false and true? Can love really last on the set? "
Love is unreasonable, love has no script, and love is blind. Is there any reason? If we are asked to answer why we love you, we may make up thousands of reasons, but are there really so many reasons?
In fact, there is no reason to love someone. Love at first sight means love.
If there is one reason, it is not love.
1994, Andy Lau released "Forgetting Water". All the former feelings have been forgotten like running water, but many emotions are still unforgettable and not so easy to say. "Forget the Year Water" is the best love song in many people's hearts. It is simple, kind and sentimental, but it is so real that people want to cry every time they hear it.
Forgetting water sounds beautiful when you are young, but if you understand it, you are no longer young. This is the charm of love songs, through time and space, through classics, love comes and goes. People are still the same now, but love has changed.
"When I was young, I liked to chase my dreams. I just wanted to fly forward.
I've traveled all over Qian Shan and I can't go back all the way.
Looking back suddenly, I can't help it.
I realized that the most painful thing about love and hate is regret.
If you hadn't broken your heart, you wouldn't have broken mine.
When my eyes are full of tears, don't ask who I am for, just let me forget all this. "
A song "Forget the Year" sang many people's voices. No wonder this song is considered an eternal classic. Once swept the country, forgetting has become a symbol of that special era. It seems that the air is full of forgetfulness.
Andy Lau also has his own true portrayal of acting and life. Stars are really ordinary people, and acting is just a profession. "Drama can change the ending because of the needs of the plot and the taste of the audience, but life can't add happy fragments or extract sad fragments at will. There is always a script that suits you in the drama, but life often kills you unexpectedly! "
No job is easy, no job is not linked with hardship, and so is a star. Look at Andy Lau's working condition.
He said in the article: "It's another night without stars. The pressure of work makes my back ache, and the air I breathe in the studio is much more turbid than usual. Fatigue makes me feel annoyed when I see the notes and words in the movement. This is not good! Secretly talking to myself, eager to find a place as soon as possible, so that the body can have a little rest and the mind can have a little comfort, so I boldly told the society that today's work is over and left without exchanging eyes with him. "
Andy Lau has a simple but tested sentence about the suffering of life: "You can endure, you can resist, you can love, I tell you, you are the supreme martial arts!" Therefore, even today, we can still see Andy Lau's name and his original style in the entertainment circle.
Facing the choice of life is also a fork in everyone's life. How should I choose?
"Growth needs to face many choices. From the moment we are sensible, we have to face the big and small forks in the road of life. The road we walked is always cross-shaped, standing in the middle, helpless, and suddenly I feel that people are at the crossroads, and there is no absolute direction; We are afraid to make choices, because we are afraid to face the harm caused by our own mistakes after making them. What is seen outside the authorities is a "crossing point", but the insiders have fallen in and become a "crossing point".
Seventeen-year-old Andy Lau made a life choice. Every choice is accompanied by pain and opportunity. We need to make the right choice, but who knows if this is correct? Who can predict the future? If Andy Lau didn't go to the wireless training class, there might be something missing in the entertainment circle, don't you think?
"Until that day, I will understand that talent is the biggest master of life. It's your decision whether to turn left or right. There is no sky.
Especially. My heart has always been my compass, and only it can best understand the direction I want, and it also taught me to finally choose the registration form on my left hand. "
Seventeen-year-old Andy Lau wrote Seventeen, which is a summary of those years. Whenever I see Andy Lau singing this song, I can see tears in his eyes. Song is a person, word is a free life:
"/kloc-shamelessly took part in the challenge at the age of 0/7.
Stars also have training classes. One year is too new.
I remember brother Fage has seen it.
Later, the promotion to the leading role was too sudden.
17 years old, admitted to a wireless training class. At that time, he met his fourth brother Xie Xian and his younger brother Chow Yun Fat. For young Andy Lau, he also has his favorite stars, and he also has an idolized dream. But now he has become the object of worship. We have our own dreams, people we admire and efforts in life. Maybe you will be the object of envy and worship by others in the future.
Now he is forty years old, and his voice used to be hoarse.
Looking back, I hope the applause is still today.
The song "Tide and Forget Water" is no longer classic.
Still buried in your heart, never changed. "
The once popular tide and forgotten water will be forgotten by the world. But as a golden song that touched a generation of fans, it will definitely stay in the hearts of fans forever and will never change.
Recalling the experience of studying makes people feel very emotional. Recalling a person's seventeen years old is painful and happy. What are we doing at seventeen? Quietly remembering, I naturally have a taste in my heart.
He said in the book: "This ten-year acting career has made me see many ups and downs of stars. There is no eternal glory and no eternal disappointment. Life, change is eternal! "
1In August, 995, Andy Lau released "Always True", and one of the albums "Today" sang his heart.
"It took me many years to discover how imperfect the world is.
Have some illusions about success or failure.
How wide the sea is and how deep the river is.
The people in the bureau understand
The reluctant beginning of life always ends.
Give up all my heart, not afraid of being misunderstood by you.
Who hasn't been hurt and who hasn't shed tears? "
Family, including many, except love, is probably family. In the article, Andy Lau also has some inner feelings about family, which is extremely simple and real to read, without too much modification. Family actually doesn't need modification, and simplicity is the most real and moving:
"Blood is thicker than water, and' affection' is the most precious thing in the world to me. Nothing can compare with affection in my mind. Busy, yes, this is the excuse I always give myself, but I can't forget to be my childlike innocence because I am busy. In this world, there is no greater feeling than a mother! "
The movie "Sister Tao" premiered in September 2065438+012, and was released in March 20 12. Andy Lau performed a classic love life, which may be a sublimation of Andy Lau's affection. A young master's concern for his servants makes people feel the charm of family ties.
In the postscript of the book, Andy Lau said: Over the years, I have experienced a lot, and finally I deeply realized a sentence:
"Sighing that there is a fly in the ointment in the world, even in the case of Qi Mei, it is difficult to settle."
Remember1October 25th, 1994, 165438, Andy Lau released the album "providence", in which the song "providence" is probably a summary of his life:
If everything is providence, everything is fate, and it is doomed after all,
If you can love for one more day, if you can look at it more, the harm will be less.
If everything is providence and everything is fate, no one can escape.
What's the point of life without love? I succumbed to this loveless life.
An unintentional exploration reminds us of the words and songs that have touched us.
