"Chinese" is a song sung by Andy Lau, written by Li Anxiu, composed by Chen Yaochuan, arranged by Tu Huiyuan and Jiang Gangsheng, and included in the album "Love Is So Magical" released in 1997.

In 1997, the song won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs of the Year by Radio Television Hong Kong, and in 1998, the song won the Gold Award for the Most Popular Chinese Song of Hong Kong TVB.

"Chinese" was created in 1997 by Andy Lau to celebrate Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Hong Kong's return to the motherland has ended a century of drifting, and Hong Kong people have also ended their lives without roots. The whole country is celebrating this with great joy, which is an expectation and blessing for Hong Kong's future, as well as an expectation and hope for the great reunification of the Chinese nation. At this moment, Andy Lau's song "Chinese" can be said to have come at the right time, in response to the sentence: "There is no best, only the most suitable". At this special moment, such a special historical node, the song "Chinese" has brought the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese closer and condensed the national bloodline of 5,000 years.

At the same time, Andy Lau won the highest praise and encouragement from national leaders because of this song, hoping that he could spread this spirit and sing this song for the country more.

So when this song was sung all over the country, the impact on Li Youyang, who was still a junior high school student, was also extremely huge, not only him, but also other students, at that time, the teachers had a characteristic in class, that is, they would set aside a little class time from time to time, and select classmates to go to the podium, not to answer questions, but to show their talents and strengthen psychological quality training.

Li Youyang liked this way of class very much, so he was often selected by the teacher to perform on stage, and once he performed on stage, almost the most he sang was this "Chinese", not only him, if other students came on stage to sing, eight out of ten sang this "Chinese", not that other songs can't be sung, or that other songs don't like to listen, but it's magical, in normal times, everyone will always hum Wu Qilong's "Chasing the Wind Boy", "All the Way to the Wind", or Andy Lau's " Forget Love Water" and Zhou Huajian's "Flower Heart" and so on, but as long as you go to the podium and start singing, you will always involuntarily start singing this "Chinese".

Some of the other students said that I just wanted to sing this song, while others were also very strange, why did they sing it? Maybe because after all, standing on the podium and facing everyone would be a little nervous, but I was not nervous about singing "Chinese", and I was not afraid that I would not sing well.

And why?

After a few years, Li Youyang gradually seemed to understand that after all, whoever it is, as long as it is Chinese, will feel proud when singing this song, and under this pride, for a singer, is the most open, not afraid of whether he can sing well, because, no matter whether the singing is good or not, one thing will not change, that is, everyone is Chinese!

.........

Time has passed, this song "Chinese" was finally sung by Li Youyang in this world, and what is the reaction of people after singing?

The IMCS league ended in this song "Chinese", and at the same time, a week passed in the blink of an eye, no one expected that Li Youyang would come up with such five songs in the first five of the 100 songs he promised, which are actually six pop music with national feelings, but after this, the influence and speed of such a group of songs are suddenly obvious!

On the one hand, in accordance with the previous regulations, each professional singer immediately began to audition and record their own songs, and uploaded them to the Internet for online competition, deciding that on the basis of Li Youyang's demo version, it will be enriched and refined, and finally produce an official performance version of the authorized singers, that is, in the north and south of the country, and even all over the world, as long as there are Chinese people, or many crooked nuts are singing such songs for a while!

At the same time, major online media, the most influential radio and television stations, as well as traditional newspapers and magazines have all eagerly issued various praises and comments on these songs!

Music embodies a nation's world outlook and values, and changes in music also reflect the development and changes of a nation. Music is the blood of national emotions and the soul of cultural will. Like language, it has a strong national character.

Throughout the historical process and civilization background of the Chinese nation, China's traditional music aesthetics are deeply influenced by the philosophical ideas of Confucianism and Taoism: Confucianism emphasizes moderation, emphasizes neutrality and peace, and advocates "the beauty of neutrality" in music; Taoism emphasizes the realm and emphasizes non-action, and advocates "great sound and hope" in music.

This is the basis of our classical aesthetic consciousness, that is, there is emotion but not wildness, there is desire but subtlety. Traditional Chinese aesthetics play an important role in the creation of Chinese music. Traditional Chinese music is subtle, indifferent, and ethereal, and the highest state it pursues is artistic conception, and a beautiful artistic conception can leave a broad imagination space for the appreciator, bringing ideological deepening and emotional sublimation.

In fact, these five demos of Li Youyang, no, should be even if it is a demo, it is extremely difficult for other singers to surpass, or it is impossible to surpass the five songs, "The Earth", "Peasant", "Keep the Roots", "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", and this "Chinese" that shocked China and foreign countries and sublimated the national spirit again! The five songs are connected together, just right, and even perfectly express China's unique national soul! Let us once again shock our voice in the world!

――"Chinese Music Weekly", a special review of the world's first Chinese music reader, "Li Youyang Special Issue".

At the same time, as the world's most powerful music event and the long-cherished dream of all singers in the world's Chinese music scene for many years, the "World Pop Music Festival Internal Journal" has issued a special issue to comment on these five songs, and the content of the comments is really interesting.

At this time, Li Youyang happened to be holding such a monthly magazine in his hand, and under the bath of the early morning sun, he stood on the big platform of their villa in Cannes, looking at it quietly......
