Zhao Chuan's New Year's Eve concert "To Everyone Who Knows My Name" will kick off at 19:00 on December 31 (this Sunday) at the Beijing Capital Gymnasium.
The name Zhao Chuan may be a bit unfamiliar to those born in 2000, but everyone is familiar with his songs: "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle", "I Finally Lost You", "I'm a Little Bird", "Brave" "A Little Bit", "How to Say Love", "That Fool Loved You"... Because of the classics, many singers have covered Zhao Chuan's songs. For example, "How to Say Love" has been sung by JJ Lin many times, "I Am a Little Bird" has been covered by Liang Bo, and "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle" also has a version by Hua Chenyu.
In 1990, Zhao Chuan was nominated for the Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Song of the Year with the song "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle". Some people say that this song is a true portrayal of Zhao Chuan. After all, since the beginning of his debut, people have commented on his appearance and even ridiculed him. But Zhao Chuanhua, what I want to express is: everyone has imperfections, even so we still face life seriously in imperfection. The vicissitudes and melancholy in Zhao Chuan's voice make this song touch the hearts of many people who have encountered setbacks in the real society and feel helpless but still have hope. Zhao Chuan breaks through the limitations of appearance with the charm of his singing voice and has a huge fan base. His collaboration with Li Zongsheng in songs such as "I Finally Lost You" and "I'm a Little Bird" have established Zhao Chuan's Chinese music scene. Superstar status.
The famous music critic Jin Zhaojun said: "Zhao Chuan's "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle" better reflects the inner emotions of ordinary people in modern cities. 'Every night, in the wilderness of dreams, I am a proud giant. Every night One morning, in front of the bathroom mirror, I found myself living on a razor's edge. In the jungle of steel and concrete, in the life that came and went, I calculated the gap between dreams and reality.' How realistic and cold this is How can imitation not arouse strong resonance in people?"
In 1991, Zhao Chuan became the first Taiwanese star singer to hold a solo concert at the Capital Gymnasium. The atmosphere at the concert was enthusiastic, with constant cheers and cheers. The audience in the stands lit their lighters and swayed to the melody. Zhao Chuan's music is very straightforward and simple, but it contains a kind of power invisibly, which is like the best healing medicine. He has left countless classics after debuting for many years. Now that he is over 60 years old, he is still a treasure trove. The past has changed, but his turbulent voice can still evoke the youth and memories of one or even several generations.
Zhao Chuan is an ordinary person, and every sentence he sings expresses the feelings of ordinary people. Many singers sing about youth, love, and regret, but no one can sing as heartily and unforgettably as he does. The passion, arrogance, confusion, regret, nostalgia of youth...and many indescribable emotions and feelings are all lost in his infectious singing.
Zhao Chuanhua: "'The Big Dream of Life' is the name of my concert tour. The first time I held a concert in mainland China was at the Capital Gymnasium in 1991. For me, the Capital Gymnasium is my musical life dream. The place where it started. The fact that this concert can be held at the Capital Stadium on the last day of this year has a very different meaning. This is the last stop of this year's tour, and we have added the name to it, 'To Everyone Who Knows My Name' , more special and more commemorative!"
