In the impression of ordinary people, Zheng Zhihua will probably be a physically disabled and determined image, at least in the mainland. This can be proved by his track in the mainland: his success in the mainland began with "Sailor", and then experienced the repetition of albums such as "Starlight" until silence. But in any case, when we talk about Zheng Zhihua, we will inevitably think of the sailor: what does he mean by that little pain in the storm? Don't be afraid to dry your tears, at least we still have them.
Have a dream ...
In fact, the significance of Zheng Zhihua is not limited to singing inspirational songs as a disabled person.
Zheng Zhihua's earliest single was "To Happy Girls", which gave me a feeling like the theme song in many movies of that era. The style and instruments are very fancy and very "modern". The other side of the color of the times means that there is no style of its own. His first album was named "The Story of Lao Yao" (which included the song "For Happy Girls", but the whole album was made later than this song), and the title song "The Story of Lao Yao" predicted Zheng Zhihua's keynote in pop songs. Even the sailor, which later made him famous, did not go beyond the scope of this song. We can even say that Sailor is a copy of this song. It can be said that the story of Lao Yao is a key to understand Zheng Zhihua. So what story did Lao Yao tell? The lyrics are as follows:
Black cinder and white fog/dad keeps digging holes to feed our family/pampered old man, stubborn me/I don't know what fate is, only the city has my dream/tangled house, and the innocent heart/treasure in the pit is gone. Why don't we move out? /Precipitating excitement, intoxicating wine/Baba muttered, there is an old friend/the road to the pit, not the only direction of life/the vague footsteps in the morning, forgetting the last goodbye/who said that spoiled children don't cry/the tragic moment, tears can't be exchanged, Baba is in the submerged mine.
The flooded mine flooded my dream, how many smiles flooded the flooded mine/burning paper money flying in the wind, the scars that the past memory can't erase/the old man whose son fled his hometown, Almighty God, taught me how to pray.
In the modern battlefield of material civilization, I have gained everything but lost myself/no matter how many dreams I have, I can't fill the void. True feelings are like cinders/people in their hometown are submerged by mines, people who have lost their lives/people in cities are submerged by desires, but they have lost their souls.
The flooded mine flooded my dream, and how many smiles/simple faces flooded the flooded mine. Once again, where is the home of the soul? Now I finally know where the hometown I fled finally went.
Drowning my dreams, drowning how many smiles I drowned.
On the surface, this lyric is about a miner's son who longs for the prosperity of the city and finally escapes from the mine to the city after his father falls into a mine accident. In the city, he finally succeeded through a series of "struggles". However, after his success, he found that this city is not a paradise, it is full of desires. The city is not a paradise for people, but a paradise for desire. People in their hometown were flooded by mines and lost their lives; People in the city are drowned by desire, but they lose their souls. This is a sigh of Zheng Zhihua. Now we need to understand this song from a deeper level. What this song tells is actually an ordinary "city story". In this kind of story, it is usually a young man (usually male) from the countryside who comes to the city to catch up with the world and finally succeeds through a series of efforts. There are many versions of the story of this rural youth's great success in the city, most of which are to tell how the young man finally succeeded through hard work. The subtext here is that the city is a place full of opportunities, and you can succeed as long as you work hard-and success at least indirectly means the satisfaction of your desires. In fact, we should know that in the stage of rapid urbanization, cities are really attractive, and cities attract a large number of rural young people to try their luck, but we should know clearly that only a few people succeed. So we can find that these stories have one thing in common: they deliberately show the beautiful side of the city, but ignore its dark side. This kind of story is popular in the stage of rapid urbanization (or later), especially after the rapid development of popular culture, and this kind of story and its subtext are deeply rooted in social psychology. For example, a few years ago, Li Ka-shing became the idol of young people. However, this song is based on criticism. It pointedly points out that the city is not a paradise for people, but a paradise for desire.
In this song, Zheng Zhihua arranged an ending for the old man: away from the city and back to the mine. This shows Zheng Zhihua's critical position.
In the later Sailor, this position was continued, but at the same time it was weakened and replaced by an inspirational tendency: what did he say about this pain in the storm? Don't be afraid to dry your tears, at least we still have dreams. But in fact, here, we can still get a glimpse of the shadow of Lao Yao's story: a child born by the sea, longing for "another world." What is this other world? In fact, it is still the modern civilization represented by the city. And after coming to the city: Today, my life is like acting, saying insincere words and wearing a hypocritical mask. I always deceive myself with insignificant achievements, always feel a sense of emptiness inexplicably, and always fall asleep with a little alcohol anesthesia ... Like the story of Lao Yao, the ending of this song is still far from the city: I can't find any living evidence, the asphalt road of the city is too difficult to tread on, and the proud and ignorant modern people don't know how to cherish the ocean and the world ruined by civilization. Only by staying away from the crowd can I find myself and breathe freely in the salty air ... At this time, the sailor's laughter turned into a call: Come back.
After such a comparison, we can find that the stories of sailor and Lao Yao are actually isomorphic. However, Zheng Zhihua did not simply repeat himself after several years, but made a more detailed description of the observed city life, and his critical position was also slightly weakened. In this way, we can understand why the sailor won more audiences than the story of Lao Yao. First of all, compared with the thick lines in Lao Yao's story, the description in this song is concrete and more in line with the inner world of urbanites. Secondly, the critical position is slightly weakened and more acceptable; Third, the hero in this song doesn't "get everything" in the city like Lao Yao, but an image of struggling for life. Obviously, this image is closer to all sentient beings, and of course it can gain more resonance.
The song "Sailor" is included in Zheng Zhihua's album "Private House Song". When it was introduced, the song "Great Power" was eliminated, probably for political reasons. But because of piracy and the current internet, it is not difficult to hear this song. Understanding this song also helps to understand Zheng Zhihua.
The song "Great Citizen" is actually about the dilemma faced by Taiwan Province Province at that time. Of course, an important reason for the publication of this song is the lifting of martial law in Taiwan Province Province. The lifting of the ban gives Zheng Zhihua the right to pay attention to real politics with pop songs (but not many people enjoy this right, which is the difference between Zheng Zhihua and ordinary commercial singers). Zheng Zhihua has always been concerned about reality, and politics is also one of the realities. At this time, Zheng Zhihua expressed some thoughts and disappointments about Taiwan Province Province in The Great National. Interestingly, Dr. Sun Yat-sen said that politics is everyone's business. However, this "very political" album was named "Private Songs". Does Zheng Zhihua intend to sing against Dr. Sun Yat-sen? I don't think so. There are three possible reasons. First, with the lifting of martial law, Taiwan Province Province has entered a pluralistic society, and politics is no longer the only center of social life, but gradually tends to be marginalized. Zheng Zhihua used the word "private song" to express and extend this right; Second, Zheng Zhihua knows that songs that pay attention to real politics are difficult to gain a foothold in the field of mass culture, so he uses the word "private songs" to laugh at himself. Third, Zheng Zhihua's favorite writer is Kafka. We know that Kafka's writing is purely personal writing, and Zheng Zhihua may want to express his love for Kafka in this way.
Fichte said: The reason why a person chooses a certain philosophy is precisely because he is such a person. Zheng Zhihua obviously inherited some things from Kafka. Perhaps it should be said that he is similar to Kafka to some extent. This similarity is not reflected in the creative technique, but in some characteristics of personality and position, such as melancholy, sensitivity and critical position on modern civilization. Zheng Zhihua wrote many sad songs, such as Hide My Feelings, Let the Wind Blow, Take me to forget all my life, Escape Alone, Leave this city, Tell me, I am a kite and so on. It is precisely because Zheng Zhihua's sadness is intrinsic that his songs can be emotional, although there is no obvious position to criticize reality. In Zheng Zhihua's songs, there is sometimes a sense of powerlessness in the face of this complex world, and there is also a sense of sacredness brought about by it. The most obvious example is about commitment. This song also tells a story. A young man and a young woman fall in love. The man vowed to give her happiness all her life, but his oath was not fulfilled. Then Zheng Zhihua sang: about the promise, it is definitely not casual. Here we can see a sense of sacredness and an idealistic attitude.
It is precisely because of this idealistic attitude that Zheng Zhihua constantly faces the "strange status quo" in real life. In The Middle Class, Zheng Zhihua described a picture of the life of the middle class:
I have a heavy burden, my shoulders hurt, and I wander in the crowd with my face upturned./My eyes are high, my strength is weak, and I fall down secretly when no one is watching./My bed is big, but I never sleep well. I am afraid of being forgotten by the world after one night./I have a lot of desires, my salary is very low, and I lost my feet on the way to Taipei.
No one cares about my troubles, everyone only cares about his wallet/I often drink coke and eat hamburgers/I just can't fill my heart with emptiness and hunger.
Is it so ordinary when I am old? My life has always been neither bad nor bad./Have I learned to give up thinking, so that I can live a good life.
In some modern political theories, the middle class is in a key position. They are described as people who have a good job and income on the surface, but their political and revolutionary essence has been completely dragged down by the pursuit of material, and "material" is always just a carrot-no matter how you chase it, it will always be the same. This song depicts the life of this middle class. On the one hand, we should try our best to take care of our income and status, on the other hand, we should lament our smallness and weak human feelings. May be materially satisfied, but the spiritual world is empty. It should be said that this song is quite successful in portraying the middle class (in fact, I believe this song can resonate with many people who have not yet entered the middle class). The emergence of the middle class is undoubtedly the product of modern society. Connecting with the position of Zheng Zhihua analyzed earlier, we can easily find that this song is the expression of his consistent position.
In addition, Zheng Zhihua's "Snail's Home" is also very representative and worth mentioning:
I can't find my home in the dense high-rise buildings/I wander around the world in the crowded streets where people come and go/I carry a heavy shell and try to climb up/but I can never keep up with the soaring housing prices.
Give me a small home, snail's home/shelter from the wind and rain, not too big/give me a small home, snail's home/a warm/own snail's home.
Unfortunately, the picture described in this song has become our reality. In the early years, we can say from another side that this is the tragic status quo of capitalism. Now, however, we can only resonate with this. The most interesting sentence in this song is "Travel around the world". Mention this word, we may see such a picture: yellow sand rolling, riding the dust, drifting away ... unfortunately, it is unlikely to happen again today (even if there is, there will be a lot of media tracking reports). Because now we can only roam the world in crowded streets where people come and go. Here we can see the opposition between modern civilization and pre-modernity. With the reality of rapid urbanization, real estate is hot, and house prices will naturally climb all the way. Climb to the point where people can never keep up, then we can only send out a sad song. Now we can clearly feel that Zheng Zhihua stands in the modern society and misses the pre-modernity-the metaphor of "foot (print)" has appeared at least twice in his songs, namely "Meeting the Sailor" (the asphalt road in the city is too difficult to step on the footprints) and "The Middle Class" (I lost my foot on the way to Taipei). Obviously, this is the opposite of modern civilization represented by asphalt roads-let us.
Enthusiastic sunshine sticks out/The earth is green/Coconut groves dance lightly/Blue sky and white clouds are free/Simple people open their hands/spoony girls are waiting/chatting happily/Everything is forgotten/South Taiwan Province Province, South Taiwan Province Province/Beautiful South Taiwan Province Province/Destined to stay for one night/I don't want to leave when I wake up in the Ming Dynasty/South Taiwan Province Province, South Taiwan Province Province/Beautiful South Taiwan Province Province/I would like to stay here in this life.
So obviously, this is a pure land that has not been destroyed by civilization. The sunshine here is warm, the earth is green, there are coconut groves and blue sky and white clouds, so Zheng Zhihua said, I can't bear to leave the beautiful South Taiwan Province Province.
At this point, it seems that I can end this article, but I still want to list his "gamers" separately. Personally, I think this song is a unique work by Zheng Zhihua. In this song, we can't see Zheng Zhihua's critical position or sadness. What we see is that the little people are trying to be broad-minded and indifferent to everything. What should I do as a nobody? Then let it be wild. Whether he is right or wrong, I just want to live a happy life. I think this song is Zheng Zhihua's understanding of China people's survival wisdom, and also reflects Zheng Zhihua's "wit". For example, Jin Yong's Duke of Lushan. I want to end with the lyrics of this song:
This world is too verbose, regardless of right or wrong./People like me, who cares about me/Money is the boss, and it's miserable without money/Even if I don't like it, what can I do?
My lover left me without saying why/I learned to drink when I was sad/I got drunk every time, but I never made a mistake/I will still be me when I wake up tomorrow.
Laughter is too sweet, tears are too salty/vows are bound to change/worry too much in the end, and the future is too far away/why not accompany me to the earth to play game?
How do you live, happy or unhappy? /Don't ask me such a boring question. What should come will always come, and what should go will always go. /You are not sure anyway, so don't be too reluctant.
I have my pain, and I have my dreams. Don't laugh at me when I play the fool. Maybe one day, you and I will meet again. Open your eyes and see that I am a hero.
Laughter is too sweet, tears are too salty/vows are bound to change/worry too much in the end, and the future is too far away/why not accompany me to the earth to play game?
I have tasted the ups and downs, and I can't help but see through the changes in human feelings. /On the way to the Jianghu, I can't help but put aside right and wrong, and I can no longer wander freely in the world.
