I hope that in addition to remembering Jacky Cheung when he was 60 years old, everyone can also remember that he can also be a "one-character horse". Musically, it's also very different from before.
On March 24, 2024, Jacky Cheung's 60+ Tour Concert in Shanghai came to an end. After completing the standard move "One-Character", Jacky Cheung easily shared with everyone: "There is no problem with physical strength at all, as long as I don't get sick."
In the past month, Jacky Cheung has brought 12 performances to the audience here. Even though he experienced a "sick leave" in the middle, Jacky Cheung still showed stable stage performance after returning from recovery.
This round of "60+" tour reaches the Shanghai stop, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of Jacky Cheung's debut. This is also the 10th tour in his career. Like the audience who loves him, we have always paid attention to all the developments of the "God of Song" along the way.
In March last year, the official announcement of the "60+" tour began. A reporter from the Morning News interviewed Jacky Cheung at the press conference in Macau and heard his declaration of "not accepting old age";
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, we had a discussion with fans in Shanghai A four-hour conversation, listening to about the friendship between idols and fans that started with "waiting" and continued for decades with "handwritten letters";
In the evening before the official opening of the Shanghai Station on February 23, we went to the Oriental Sports Center At the scene, we witnessed generations of audiences from the "post-50s" to the "post-10s" coming from afar.
At the same time, the special issue exclusively planned by News Morning News also became a hot read in Shanghai on the opening day. Readers from all over the country joined the rush to buy it, and it was soon "hard to get".
What’s even more special is that the fans brought this feeling to Jacky Cheung himself and sent the first “love letter” from Shanghai. They also recorded this rare and precious scene.
In the next month, fans in Shanghai spontaneously organized an activity to write handwritten love letters, which were bound into volumes in three batches. The Morning Post also opened a channel for letters from readers, collected handwritten letters and cartoons from readers and viewers, and sent them to the "god of song" one after another.
"Because Jacky Cheung's schedule is always between the venue and the hotel, I hope he can be accompanied by letters from fans after work, so that it won't be too boring." After many years of following Jacky Cheung, fans have already understood Jacky Cheung's habits. It is in a quieter way, silently guarding and accompanying each other.
After such a ceremonial month, we are moved by Jacky Cheung’s insistence on "living up to every stage", and also moved by the personal letters written by fans in neat fonts. At the same time, when special edition newspapers are delivered to readers with the fragrance of paper and ink and countless warm stories, we once again feel the power of "paper is short but love is long".
Today, when social media is so developed, when people have long been accustomed to using mobile phones to send greetings, we still insist on recording the moving bright colors of this city with sincere pen and ink, and conveying people's common emotions in the most traditional way.
After this night, Jacky Cheung will bid farewell to Shanghai and continue to the next stop. I hope he takes care of himself and continues to shine on the next stage. And the people here are also looking forward to meeting him next time.
