"I want to say sorry to the audience of the 3 concerts that were canceled last week. I am very sorry and let everyone down. Thank you to the organizer and team partners for spending a lot of effort to deal with the aftermath. Thank you everyone for being tolerant of me. I am fine. "!"
"After this, I know that I should cherish every minute of the opportunity to perform for everyone on stage. I try to open my eyes wide and keep everyone in my memory. All this is precious. If everyone Today I feel that what I sing is different from before, not because I am sick, but because I cherish the time on stage more."
After taking "leave" due to being infected with the new crown last week, Jacky Cheung went through more than a week of recuperation , finally returned to the stage in Shanghai tonight (March 15) as scheduled. This is also his first "sick leave" in this round of "Jacky Cheung 60+ Concert Tour".
Unlike the past, where he arrived in Shanghai one day in advance, Jacky Cheung only flew to Shanghai this morning. Before the performance, the organizer originally thoughtfully suggested that he "rest for another three days," but Jacky Cheung refused. "I really don't want to, and I really don't dare. The longer I rest, the greater the pressure, so let's just face it!"
Jacky Cheung did not dare to "waste" during the 10 days of isolation at home. He would still do whatever he could to the best of his ability. I practiced singing inside, even if I couldn't exercise strenuously, my Yizima skills were not diminished at all. While I was talking on the spot, I "slowly landed". After finishing, Jacky Cheung jumped up and shouted "I can still do it", and the audience burst into cheers.
The sword is still young
Today’s performance is the 103rd of this round of concerts. In fact, Jacky Cheung always feels a little uneasy before every performance, not knowing what kind of day he will face. "This feeling is more serious today, and the time waiting in the background seems to be extremely long."
sang steadily for the first hour of the show, not daring to say anything more. It wasn’t until the talking session that I relaxed and chatted with everyone. "Since 2019, I have been paying attention to protecting myself every day, wearing a mask and washing my hands well, but I still got infected!" Jacky Cheung joked about himself, now becoming Jin Yong's "Yang Guo" (Yang Guo).
As a singer, Jacky Cheung has an additional layer of worry when facing the new crown: "exposed to the sun" is not the hardest part, "fear" is. Fans all understood that he was worried that he would not be able to keep the appointment on time. Jacky Cheung was particularly emotional when he stood on the stage again after recovery. At the scene, he repeatedly emphasized that he felt "very happy" to be able to continue singing for everyone.
Fans had mixed feelings about his return from recovery at first: "I hope he will come, but I don't want him to come." After holding on to more than 100 concerts in this round, they have experienced the test of imbalanced ear fluids, even if they are infected Due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, he returned to the stage after only 10 days of rest. This is not easy for Jacky Cheung, who is over 60 years old. "When I said I didn't want him to come, I wanted him to have more rest. When I said I wanted him to come, it meant that he could recover quickly and return to the stage. In short, it was very contradictory."
I waited anxiously for the news that Jacky Cheung's concert would be held as scheduled. Some fans even prepared tissues before the performance because "they felt like they would burst into tears." However, tonight's stage must have dispelled many of the fans' previous worries. Jacky Cheung's informative chat also made the atmosphere at the scene very happy.
Before the show started tonight, we also interviewed some "fans" in Shanghai. Some of them will be attending the show this week, and some have already watched several performances before. In the past week, they have also been paying attention to Jacky Cheung's developments. Three generations of Chen Qihua’s family born in the 1970s are fans of Jacky Cheung. The old father born in the 40s exaggerated Jacky Cheung’s Shanghai dialect as an “old spirit”, the younger brother born in the 1980s sang “affectionately” in front of the camera, and the son born in the 00s sang in front of the camera. Under the influence of his uncle, he became a new generation of friends and fans in the family. The family sent blessings to their idol from all directions.
We have collected everyone's "love letters" in the form of videos and texts to convey the voices of fans:
Dear Jacky: I hope you can rest more and maintain your strength. Welcome back to Shanghai, we will always be your strongest support. Shanghai will always love you. good show forever! ——Yang Yi
dear Xueyou, welcome back to Shanghai.I hope all subsequent performances go smoothly, and the most important thing is that you have a great time singing! We agreed, as long as you want to sing we will definitely come, no matter how many + - we love you! Li Qiong
Dear Jacky, I have reached the most beautiful age when I listen to your songs, but my love for you is still the same as before. I wish to be accompanied by your singing forever, and wish you a smooth and successful 60+ tour! ——linda
In the first show after recovery, Jacky Cheung presented the classic "Stealing Heart" to the Shanghai audience as usual. "In Shanghai, this song must be sung." After singing the song, Jacky Cheung praised himself: "It's pretty good." Slowly, he began to discover the everlasting preciousness of "Stealing Hearts" , lamenting that "every song has its destiny."
At the end of the concert, the whole audience spontaneously sang "With You Along the Way". "With you on the journey, I am willing to endure a little hardship." The moving melody and just 11 words made people who have experienced the past week together feel even more emotional at this moment. In the 40 years since his debut, fans have been with Jacky Cheung, going through a long and sometimes ups and downs on stage and behind the scenes. Time has turned the green young man's temples gray, but at this moment, you will feel that nothing seems to have changed.
In any case, Jacky Cheung, whom we have been waiting for, is back, with his still steady typhoon, his still skillful one-trick horse, and his still humorous way of doing things. He has just finished a battle. After tonight, he will gain another suit of armor and move towards new love and hustle and bustle.
