Jacky Cheung will celebrate his 63rd birthday next month. His "Jacky Cheung 60+ World Tour" recently concluded in Taipei, with the box office of nine concerts in Taiwan exceeding NT$300 million (approximately NT$67.35 million). During this period, Jacky Cheung temporarily canceled three performances due to being infected with the RSV virus, but the refund rate was less than 0.01%.
Jacky Cheung started singing as scheduled after falling ill. Even though his body had not fully recovered, he still had a calm performance and superb singing skills, which moved many fans.
Not long ago, a netizen shared that Jacky Cheung said in the last talk session of the concert, "I have been to many places in the world, such as... the United States, and our China." The sentence "we China" made the netizen very happy. He said directly, "I cried to death, I love my old baby even more."
The netizen’s IP address showed that he was from Taiwan, China. He also shared several photos from the concert, one of which was a photo of Jacky Cheung doing the splits. It has to be said that Jacky Cheung, who has entered his sixtieth year, is still full of energy.
Many netizens praised Jacky Cheung’s patriotic remarks, saying, “I have never doubted Jacky Cheung’s patriotism,” “It’s really brave to dare to say this in Taipei,” and “I’m curious about the audience’s reaction.”
Some time ago, many artists issued statements expressing their stance, and many artists from Taiwan Province joined the ranks of expressing their stance, which immediately attracted attention from the outside world. Against this background, Jacky Cheung’s patriotic remarks are sincere and indeed commendable.
In fact, as early as two years ago, Jacky Cheung said in a video that "the city of Hong Kong" was interpreted by some people with ulterior motives, so that he immediately issued a clarifying statement that was neither humble nor arrogant.
In addition, Jacky Cheung said at the concert that he was complained about singing a lot of Cantonese songs. He apologized for this, saying, "Please forgive me, many friends started to know Jacky Cheung from Mandarin songs, although I can speak Mandarin fairly well." But I’m from Hong Kong.” Jacky Cheung later changed to Mandarin songs during the encore.
During his performance in Taiwan, Jacky Cheung kept apologizing to the fans at every performance, regretting that he could not give a 100-point performance. From Jacky Cheung's words, we can see his self-blame and annoyance.
Even though his body was still not fully recovered, Jacky Cheung still sang as hard as he could for nearly 3 hours. He insisted on singing classic songs one after another without changing the song, such as "Heart Like a Knife", "With You Along the Road", " "I Can't Forget You", "If This Is Not Love", etc., he also said, "I will keep working hard, except for my voice, other things have almost remained unchanged." His professional attitude moved many viewers.
In addition to his superb singing skills, Jacky Cheung is already a king. His private style is still very down-to-earth. Before the show, he even went to the hotel in person to greet and shake hands with fans without putting on airs. Some fans revealed that they have been following him since they were young. Until now, Jacky Cheung’s songs have accompanied many people’s youth.
In addition to some fans, Jacky Cheung also influenced a group of artists. Singer Xu Weixiang, who was shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award at this year's Golden Melody Awards for his musical ability, also attended Jacky Cheung's concert a few days ago.
In an interview, Xu Weixiang revealed that his musical inspiration was none other than the singer Jacky Cheung who recently came to Taiwan to sing. Xu Weixiang said that when he was a child, his family bought a karaoke machine. He had no idea about singing, but he sang along with "A Thousand Reasons for Sadness". At that time, he didn't even know who Jacky Cheung was. It wasn't until he was in the sixth grade of elementary school that he regarded Jacky Cheung as his idol after hearing the album "Black and White New Songs + Selections 1985-2004".
Han Fei, the daughter of Wang Zhongping, a well-known Taiwanese singer, is regarded as one of the "most beautiful second generation stars". Recently, Han Fei took the stage to hold a solo "Han Fei's Beautiful Realm Concert". She specially asked her father Wang Zhongping to support her.
The father and daughter specially sang Jacky Cheung's classic song "She Came to Come to My Concert". It was very meaningful for the father and daughter to sing together on stage for the first time. It happened that Jacky Cheung came to Taiwan to sing, and he also used the song to pay tribute to his father's idol Jacky Cheung.
A high-quality idol is like this. He sets an example and practices what he does, and eventually becomes a role model for everyone. Every word and deed affects countless fans.
Jacky Cheung’s patriotic remarks at the concert conveyed the patriotic spirit to everyone to a certain extent. He is powerful yet dedicated, famous yet humble, energetic yet patriotic. Perhaps these are the reasons why he is still standing in the music scene at the age of 62!
