In memory of Ka-kui: I hope I just "ate too many preserved eggs"

1at 4 pm on June 30, 993, Ka Kui passed away.

It's been 26 years.

But we all know that he lives in another way.

My hometown is in a coastal town, only a few kilometers from home to the seaside. You can see the river that is about to enter the sea along the way. There are mottled fishing boats parked on both sides, and the wind blowing gently day and night always has a faint salty taste.

The town is relatively closed, and TV is an important window for children to observe the world. At that time, TV didn't have so many channels to choose from now, except for a few flashing snowflakes and maintenance, less than 30 channels. At that time, my favorite movie channel was Phoenix TV, which played various Hong Kong and Taiwan movies repeatedly in turn every day. It was here that I began to understand the world and beyond.

The movie is called Beyond Diary. Don't bully the poor. It tells the story that four young people in Hong Kong, played by beyond's four sons, are addicted to music, form a band, and have to face various choices and grow up hard in their family life.

The plot that impressed me the most in this movie is:

Wu Jiaju, played by Ka Kui Wong, plans to immigrate to the United States to open a restaurant. In order to achieve this goal, the whole family tried their best to earn money, scrimp and save, and even went to medical college to volunteer for experiments, just to earn a few hundred dollars and a sandwich. As a result, when their family earned enough money to emigrate, Jia Kui's immigrant medical report found suspected stomach cancer, so the immigrant was not approved. Finally, there was a big mistake, and there was a mistake in submitting the report. Ka kui just "ate too many preserved eggs"

Later, I discovered that this film produced by 9 1 and even starring Faye Wong has so many similarities with reality.

Anyone who is familiar with beyond probably knows that their road to music has not been very smooth.

They won the championship from the beginning of their debut. After a period of hard work, they finally became famous with songs such as "The Good Earth" and "Like You", but some people jumped out and said that they were rock traitors, abandoned their ideals and were corroded by business. Why does this sound so familiar? );

After their efforts and record success, they need to participate in entertainment activities again and again, and even host programs to let more people listen to their songs.

Even if I finally decide to study in Japan, I just walk from one besieged city to another. You still need to take part in recreational activities, and even to some extent, start from scratch and let people know about them.

However, from 1983 to 1993, we can easily find that the music of beyond and Kaju 10 has never been just music, but has injected their own thinking and pursuit of ideals into their works.

"I really love you" is wrapped in vulgar love songs to celebrate great maternal love; Lover is about the cultural barriers and language differences left by a Hong Kong man and a mainland girl when they fall in love. The Great Wall and the earth are feelings of home and country. "Farmers" is a tribute to the farmers who face the loess in the traditional way. Even when it comes to ideals, there are memories of old times in Gone for Never, reflections on the present situation, encouragement to "study hard with a smile in the face of setbacks", encouragement to yourself in Don't hesitate, "Dreams will come true one day, find the world you dream of", and of course, there is a vast sky.

Today, on the stage of Singer, which represents the highest level of singing in Chinese music, there are still people who cover their songs. Even when chatting with friends, I talked about the choices of big cities and small cities since graduation, the struggles and ideals of young people, and these unchanging topics. As I spoke, I sighed, and my friends sat in front of the computer and turned on the music software to play songs. The prelude sounded "No more hesitation".

Back to the town where I was born, reclamation made the clear sea water no longer clear, and farmland was replaced by various buildings. The newly opened KTV stands in the old seaport, and is wrapped in golden color symbolizing glory at night. Everything seems to have changed, but in this new KTV, the familiar prelude will still be heard often. A middle-aged man with a big belly will always sing "Gone Days" by drinking. At the seaside farther than before, fishermen who stop and rest will always listen to their lovers facing the distant sea through the swaying sea breeze, but their tools have changed from tape recorders to smart phones; At school, in class, the teacher looked at the green faces on the platform. After graduation, he asked them to have a good look at the classroom and the people around them, and then sat down to sing a song together. Those are the days of our lives. Nothing seems to have changed.

Some music is already a part of the soul.

The most popular music program this summer is Summer of the Band. When I watch it, I always wonder what it would be like if Ka Kui were still there.

I feel full of regret when I think about it. I hope all this is just a false alarm in the end, just like the movie he starred in. It's just that "preserved eggs are too much."
