Biographical notes
When I was in middle school, I studied in the prestigious St. Paul Boys' and Girls' Middle School in Hong Kong, and 1973 graduated from the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong. Based on his achievements in the entertainment circle and his contribution to community work,/kloc-0 was selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong in 1982, and/kloc-0 was awarded the Medal of Honor by the United Kingdom in 1985. But he is famous not because he is an architect, but because he entered the music scene as an amateur singer, which is unprecedented in the music scene in Hong Kong.
Guan is an important early strength singer in the history of Guangdong pop music development. When I was in middle school, I formed a band with He Guoxi (the lead singer of the theme song of Hong Kong Radio and TV program Under the Roof) and two classmates, mainly singing English folk songs. Later, the band declined in Hong Kong, and he turned to personal development. At about 1976, he began to sing canto pop. At first, many of his most familiar songs were the theme songs of TV dramas and movies.
When many people mention Guan's songs, they will think of many songs around "reasoning", "peace" and "hope". Of course, like other singers, he also sang many love songs. His inspirational songs make people feel strong vitality and anti-adversity spirit, among which the most representative songs are "A Candlelight", "Expectation" and "Stars". His love songs are romantic, touching and poetic, including Love in the Snow, Remnant Dreams and Fishing Boat Singing Late. Is the most famous.
Guan's songs have a unique charm. To feel this, you can find a quiet moment in the dead of night. Without any harassment, you can put on headphones and listen to his songs quietly. In this atmosphere, you will always feel that it sounds unique, and then you will be intoxicated by his warm singing and "gorgeous" arrangement, because listening requires calm listening.
Perhaps because Guan's image of "seriousness and integrity" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, he also sang many government propaganda songs in the 1980s, such as "One Voice", the theme song of district council election in 1985, and "Enlightenment from mussels", the theme song of civic education information Expo in 1986 (he is one of the three lead singers, and the other two are He). In addition, he has also performed many famous songs by ci writers, such as The Kindness of the Earth by Lu Guozhan, A Candle by Zheng Guojiang and Thousands of Waters in Qian Shan by Wong Kar-wai. Therefore, Guan's songs can more or less reflect the situation of the poet group at that time.
In the early 1990s, Guan moved to America to continue his architectural career. Disabled people hear "a little candlelight" from time to time when demonstrating to express their demands. "Two Forgets in the Smoke" (the theme song of the popular TV martial arts drama "Dragon") is still a hot song in karaoke for people who crossed that era. Sing the theme song "Fate" of the Buddhist program "Love in the Air" broadcast by Radio Television Hong Kong, because the program has been broadcast regularly so far.
Xueyou sang his kindness to the earth that year.
