If you don't know who Chan Sarah is, you will be suddenly enlightened by her songs. Every song is a classic, it won't go out of date, and it won't be forgotten even after several years.
Chan Sarah, a woman who was called "the best singer" by Jonathan Lee and "the diva" by Emil Wakin Chau, stood out with her own strength in that era when singers came forth in large numbers. Her face value, her voice and her dribs and drabs have become unforgettable memories. But I don't know when, but she suddenly disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and there was no news for decades.
Calculate, Chan Sarah was 62 years old. Did she have a good old age? Why did it die? What about now?
"You know, sadness is always inevitable, in every waking moment. There are some things you don't have to ask now, and some people you never have to wait for. " Every song sung by Chan Sarah needs no soundtrack, and its tune will be hummed just by looking at the lyrics, which is a classic.
Chan Sarah was born in Taiwan Province province on 1958. She has short and capable hair, and her intellectual elegance has always left a deep impression on everyone. Unlike many singers, Chan Sarah had a talent for singing at an early age. When everyone is still babbling and only interested in toys, Chan Sarah babbles to the tape recorder every day. Her careful mother discovered Chan Sarah's singing talent and decided to concentrate on cultivating her.
1966, Chan Sarah, who was only eight years old at that time, took part in the biggest singing competition in Taiwan Province province at that time under the arrangement of her mother. Unexpectedly, Chan Sarah finally won the championship with everyone's satisfaction, and also won a big refrigerator for his family.
Chan Sarah, a minor celebrity, is called "a gifted child star" by many people. At the age of 9, she started recording songs for record companies and even released her first album.
Although Chan Sarah became famous at an early age and all kinds of Shang Yan were busy, her mother never gave up her daughter's studies. She told her daughter that singing is just a hobby now, and she must insist on excellent grades. In this way, when Chan Sarah was very young, he cooperated singing and learning very well. It was not until Chan Sarah grew up that her mother let her daughter formally enter the entertainment circle.
At the beginning of his career, Chan Sarah also released many albums, but it didn't cause much repercussions. It was not until he joined Rolling Stone Records that Chan Sarah's singing career really turned around.
1988, Chan Sarah participated in Rolling Stone Records. Although he is 30 years old, his elegant singing has won the admiration of Jonathan Lee. At that time, when all singers simply took the road of gentleness and not eating fireworks, Jonathan Lee specially customized a common style for Chan Sarah in order to make her unique.
1990, Jonathan Lee specially created the album "I'll tell you" for Chan Sarah, which became the first record with a sales volume of over one million in Taiwanese music history. In particular, the album "When I Wake Up" is popular all over the country, and every tune and lyric in the song has been sung in people's hearts.
Many songs of Chan Sarah are also used as the theme songs of TV series. For example, Rolling Red Dust became the theme song of the movie Rolling Red Dust starring Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung, and the song Q was later adapted into the theme song of Wing Chun starring Yang Ziqiong and Donnie Yen. Time flies has become the theme song of the film Green Snake starring Joey Wong, Maggie Cheung and Chiu Man-Cheuk, while Laughing at the World of Red Dust is an episode of Dong Fangbubai.
The world of mortals is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring and supercilious. This life is not finished, but my heart is unwilling, I just want to be happy for half my life.
As usual, I still have an indescribable feeling, and I always feel that I can't listen enough after playing for a day.
As usual, there is still an indescribable sadness, and I always feel that I can't get enough of it after playing for a day.
How hot is Chan Sarah at its peak? Just look at her partner. Chan Sarah once sang "It's so nice" with Leslie Cheung, "Know My Heart" with Jackie Chan, "Go Your Way" with Jonathan Lee, "Meet by chance" with Emil Wakin Chau and so on. Chan Sarah's cooperation is a top-notch brand.
Someone once compared Chan Sarah with Faye Wong, but Emil Wakin Chau's "Tianhou" may be the best answer.
Chan Sarah won almost all the awards in the music world when she was the most popular, including the Best Female Singer Award in Southeast Asia Golden Bell Award, the Best Female Singer Award in Hong Kong Golden Melody Award, and even known as the "Three Queens of Rolling Stones" together with Chyi Yu and Pan Yueyun.
However, in Chan Sarah, when the fire broke out, she suddenly quit the music scene and disappeared without a trace. Nobody knows where she went. No one knows what she is doing. Even her best colleagues and friends can't contact her. At the peak, Chan Sarah seemed to have passed away, which separated everyone's vision without warning, and her singing life ran aground.
All this is actually related to another woman, and this woman is none other than Chan Sarah's mother Xu Hui.
Chan Sarah's personality is the opposite of her fame. Although Chan Sarah is famous in the music industry, her personality is very low-key and introverted. When I was a child, a boy chased her and handed her a note saying that he would wait for her at the bus stop. Chan Sarah was very scared. He just walked for one stop and waited for the bus at the next stop.
Luckily, Chan Sarah was accompanied by her mother. It turned out that in order to take care of her daughter, the mother not only quit her job, but also started her daughter's agent. Her mother organized all the big and small events, including her singing career, and she was also in charge. Whether it's a meeting or signing a contract, even a little thing like dressing up, her mother is doing it, while Chan Sarah just sings.
And my mother once turned a blind eye to her daughter's care. No matter what Chan Sarah does, my mother is always inseparable. After all, in the complicated entertainment circle, a female star always needs someone to protect her, and her mother becomes her protector.
In fact, Chan Sarah's father once opposed her mother's practice. He thinks that his daughter should learn to be independent and do everything for her, which is very unfavorable for her growth. But my mother wouldn't listen. She thinks girls should be maintained. Chan Sarah, who has grown up, doesn't think there is anything wrong with her mother's behavior. No matter what she does, she obeys her mother's arrangement.
But the mother's maintenance of her daughter is not only in life, but also in Chan Sarah's emotional life.
At that time, Chan Sarah had just joined the Rolling Stones and fell in love with a little-known singer. But this beautiful love was stopped by her mother. Her mother thought that the man was not famous and not worthy of her daughter, which prevented the two from interacting. At this time, instead of fighting for love, Chan Sarah became a good girl and continued to listen to her mother.
The first beautiful love was ruthlessly stopped by her mother. Soon after, Chan Sarah ushered in another relationship. This time I was a doctor. My mother felt very satisfied after the investigation and agreed to associate with her daughter. But I didn't expect that when they were dating, my mother was always secretly following behind, although she was uneasy. After the other party knew it, it was very angry and broke up in a rage.
If I were another girl, I might scold my mother, but Chan Sarah didn't. Not only did she not blame her mother, but she even thought that her mother was doing her best. She was afraid that she would be cheated.
In this way, Chan Sarah's two relationships ended because of her mother before they started. Perhaps her mother interfered in my life too much, which made Chan Sarah more and more dependent on her mother. Finally, after an incident, Chan Sarah suffered a huge blow, once quit the music scene, and even became depressed. That was the news of her mother's death.
Accompanied and cared for by her mother for many years, Chan Sarah became more and more afraid and cowardly.
During the period of 1997, in order to lose weight, Chan Sarah began to have adverse reactions after taking a slimming product, including frequent headaches, high fever and auditory hallucinations. At this time, Chan Sarah had to choose to temporarily quit the music scene.
The following year, Chan Sarah, who was in good health, released his new album Paradise Lost. I thought Chan Sarah would return to the music scene again, but something unexpected happened and completely destroyed her.
1999, a normal morning, after getting up, my mother in her 60 s accidentally fell in the corridor and never woke up after falling. The doctor told Chan Sarah that her mother was overworked all the year round. In other words, she died of overwork.
The sudden death of his mother was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Chan Sarah. Growing up, she never left her mother for a day. All the big and small things are because her mother is tired. As usual, her mother died suddenly, and Chan Sarah suddenly felt that the sky was falling. She lost her closest relative and didn't know what to do with her life. How to face it?
Without her mother's company, Chan Sarah suddenly felt like a "giant baby". She can't read the contract, can't buy a plane ticket, can't even wash clothes and cook, and can't even fold the quilt. Because I don't understand the contract, I am often cheated by the merchants, and sometimes I don't even know how to collect money after singing the song.
Chan Sarah, separated from her mother, is like a flower shaken by a strong wind. She lost her direction and didn't know what to do next. She got scared and began to run away from the world. She left her beloved stage, cut off contact with anyone, sold my luxury car and mansion, and moved to an elderly apartment in the outer suburbs of Taipei with her father, thus disappearing into everyone's field of vision.
A few years before Chan Sarah's death, it was not that no one had looked for her, and it was not that no one had asked her to go out again. However, no matter what others asked, Chan Sarah avoided talking about it.
In 2003, Rolling Stone released a music collection "A Letter to Shu Hua" specially for Chan Sarah, which contained 32 classic love songs, hoping that Chan Sarah could return to the music scene after hearing it, but Chan Sarah did not respond.
In 2006, Jonathan Lee held the "Sense and Sensibility" concert tour, and the first stop was in Taipei where Chan Sarah lived. In order to bring Chan Sarah back, Jonathan Lee specially invited Fish Leong to sing When I Wake up. After the song, a letter to Chan Sarah also appeared on the big screen.
Shuhua, is everything all right? I hope you have recovered from the grief of losing your mother. I'm afraid everything we gain or lose is not the original intention of life, but it is only after experiencing everything that we find ourselves.
With such sincere invitation and concern, many people couldn't help crying, but everything we did still couldn't bring Chan Sarah back.
There is a lot of talk about Chan Sarah. Many people say that Chan Sarah suffers from depression. 20 17, Chan Sarah, who has not appeared for a long time, was photographed by the media. She looks very old and thin in the photo, and the whole person looks in poor health.
From the generation with infinite scenery to the present stage, no one expected that Chan Sarah, who was 62 years old, had no love, no marriage, and even his beloved career was neglected. As a result of losing her mother, she lost everything to her.
Chan Sarah, who once indulged in singing on the stage, will never come back!
Time flies, many things will happen on the road of life, and many things will be forgotten. Many stars may be just a flash in the pan, but only Chan Sarah has not been forgotten. Because Chan Sarah left us more than just a few songs, but an indelible memory, a note of a period.
We can learn a lot from what happened in Chan Sarah. If you are a child, I hope you can learn to be independent as soon as possible. If you are a parent, I hope to put it down early.
Finally, I hope Chan Sarah can get out of the pain as soon as possible. After all, there is still a long way to go in life!
