-The days of our lives, a spiritual fighter

Ka Kui Wong, a transcendental soul, passed away on June 24th, 1993, and it has been 15 years since then. During Ka Kui Wong's short life of 365,438+0 years, he left behind not only classic music works worthy of eternal collection, but also his eternal pursuit of musical ideals.

Miss Ka Kui Wong, because-once is forever.

A road of no return

1983, Ka Kui Wong and his friends temporarily decided to take Beyond as the name of the band, participated in the guitar competition held by Guitar magazine, and won the "Best Band Award". Since then, they have embarked on a musical road of no return.

In the mid-1980s, under the influence of European and American pop music, young people in Hong Kong began to form bands. It seems that more than 20 bands with guitars appeared in the pop music scene in Hong Kong overnight, and Beyond is one of them.

1983, Ka Kui Wong, Ye Shirong and others, who usually play music together, temporarily took Beyond as the band name and participated in the guitar competition held by Guitar magazine and won the "Best Band Award". Since then, Ka Kui Wong has embarked on the road of no return of music. In 1984 and 1985, Ka Kui Wong and others began to write their own songs, but most of them were written in English. At that time, it was very rare to interpret rock music in Cantonese. 1985, Chen Shian left and Paul Wong joined. Since then, Beyond has struggled in the Hong Kong music scene for more than ten years, with the members of,, and Huang.

1998, Beyond once again included the song "Farewell to Ideals" in the album "Secret Police". Coupled with works such as The Good Earth, Like You and Breaking Everything, the band's album sales exceeded platinum records. Goodbye to Ideal is actually a song with simple composition and straightforward lyrics. However, it has become a masterpiece in Ka Kui Wong's music career for the simple reason that it is true. Farewell to Ideal is Ka Kui Wong's spiritual confession when Beyond band just started. It tells the story of loneliness and helplessness as a singer, and also expresses his determination to fight for rock music to the end. At that time, Ka Kui Wong was persistent: his heart was full of motivation, and he had no worries, as if he had everything around him and built a barrier with others. However, faced with the pressure of business operation and fans, Ka Kui Wong made many concessions, vacillating between non-mainstream and mainstream.

Due to their musical success, Beyond was invited to participate in some movies and TV series, but due to their poor acting skills, they quickly focused on music. In Beyond's films, "Don't Bully the Poor" is autobiographical, which shows the initial belief in music, their efforts and sacrifices. Huang plays a company employee and finally bravely stands up to fight against the insidious and selfish boss. Paul Wong is a policeman, careful and cowardly; Ye Shirong was forced by family pressure to study medicine; Ka Kui Wong and his family worked hard to earn money and emigrated. In the end, it is naturally an idealized comedy ending: personal dignity triumphs over timidity, faith triumphs over secular tradition, four people bravely stand on the stage because of their musical ideals, and a song "No More Hesitation" begins their struggle.

From 1992' s The Great Wall and Continuing Revolution to 1993' s Joy and Anger, Ka Kui Wong's music has been released unprecedentedly, and their musical expression and connotation have surpassed the past. Under the popular and popular elements, they pay more attention to people's consciousness, spirit and living conditions, such as endless emptiness, farmers and vast sky, which are the most profound and profound in Ka Kui Wong's music career. They hoped to "remain free and sing my songs forever", but Ka Kui Wong's death shattered Beyond's ideal.

The Musical Dream of Idealists

Ka Kui Wong's life has always been like a musical dream. Ka Kui Wong's musical attainments are far beyond everyone's imagination. He is an idealist and will always strive to realize his ideal.

Ka Kui Wong's life has always been like a musical dream. Ka Kui Wong's musical attainments are far beyond everyone's imagination. He is an idealist and will always strive to realize his ideal. It is not difficult to find Ka Kui Wong's originality and amazing musical talent. Once, Ka Kui Wong was just an ordinary young man. He is neither rich nor artistic, but his extreme love for music has made him.

When Ka Kui Wong was a child, he didn't have a rich material life, but he had the most common and free life gadgets for ordinary children, such as flying kites, jumping planes and catching Cao Meng ... After finishing primary school, he went to middle school. He said that his academic performance was poor, especially in mathematics, and he was often absent from classes. After finishing middle school, I came out to work. I worked as an office clerk, engineer, hardware, TV designer and insurance broker, but each job didn't last long.

Ordinary life, sparks, because he fell in love with music, but also because he has a persistence. At the age of twelve or thirteen, influenced by his close friends, Ka Kui Wong began to pay attention to music trends. Ka Kui Wong recalled his own music road, once said such a passage:

"The first time I saw my favorite idol singer was on a TV show. He dressed up uniquely and sang psychedelic music in the 1970s. Suddenly, his feelings were led by his charm. This is David Bowie. David Bowie's "1984" and "diamond dog" are shocking. I thought: he must not be from this earth. Since then, I have followed him strongly and searched for his records and posters. Every time I find a poster of Zhang Zhengui, I am as excited as a treasure.

There is no doubt that David Bowie's magnetic voice did have thousands of fans that year. I admit that I am definitely a follower. I was in the heyday of disco music at that time. I often stand near the speaker of the TV with a small cassette, record my idol's new songs or concerts, and even spend money to buy a magazine with his cover to familiarize myself with the musicians/musicians he cooperates with. As far as I am concerned, his background is more familiar than the content in the textbook. "

David Bowie's progressive rock influenced Ka Kui Wong's future musical intention. David Bowie's unique dress and magnetic voice shocked Ka Kui Wong's heart and made him have an indissoluble bond with music.

Throughout Ka Kui Wong's works and life, there is a powerful force throughout, which is different from Cao Meng's "fierceness" and Daming's "astringency" and should be called broadness. Although he also has exquisite love songs and avant-garde works, it seems to be his lifelong responsibility to try to express the meaning of life in the language of music.

Life symbol of lonely dreamer

Broad Sky expresses a selfless and lonely realm, and reaches the peak of Ka Kui Wong's creative career. This song is not only a portrayal of his heart, but also a symbol of the life of a lonely dreamer.

Ka Kui Wong once said: "Music creation comes from life, and we prefer to pay attention to the trend of the world and bring impact to creation."

The creation in the early 1990s was also an important turning point for Ka Kui Wong. Transcendent trip to Africa, let him see the people and things in this famine land, war and peace, oppression and resistance, helplessness and tears. "I went to the third world not only to see poverty, but also to see the changes in the third world, to see the future third world, and to reflect on people's actions from human conscience with sensibility." "Africa has always given people the feeling of poverty and backwardness. What we think is insignificant may become very meaningful material there. The world is moving forward, and it's a pity to see their lives stagnate. As long as we are willing to pay a little attention, they can also move forward with us tomorrow. " Back in Hong Kong, he wrote a poem "Amani", which not only poured out the children ravaged by war, but also pointed out the dignity and preciousness of life. "Our Days" was specially written for nelson mandela, a black leader. It not only praised human beings, but also reflected the trend of human harmony and ignorance of war.

Ka Kui Wong's last transcendental collection of works, Joy and Anger, reached the peak of his creative career. The title song "Broad Sky" expresses a selfless and lonely realm, the pursuit of years, how many troubles and dreams, how much love and innocence, and shuttles through this world of mortals. This song is not only a portrayal of his heart, but also a symbol of the life of a lonely dreamer.

Ka Kui Wong is the transcendental musical soul.

On the occasion of the rise of Hong Kong pop music, Ka Kui Wong has become the spiritual guide of contemporary young people with his songs, singing the injustice of the world, peace and love ... Undoubtedly, he is BEYOND's musical soul.

Ka Kui Wong's music is full of brilliance and contains peace and love. Compared with the moaning and melodrama of the pop music scene at that time, this was indeed a profound revolution.

"The Bible says that the end of the world will come in 2000, and I think it will be quite exciting if I can see it for a long time; But on second thought, there is nothing on this earth, and I think this is a very boring thing. Looking at the prevailing trend of the last century in recent years, everyone is just' drinking today and getting drunk today', which is really a headache. There is no denying that the atmosphere of the last days is really irresistible.
