Sixty years old and over sixty years old. Most people start to think of themselves as old people at the age of 60. They have more excuses for why they can’t do things well and why they can’t do them well. Some people countdown to retirement and enjoy leisure before reaching sixty, and then enter a state of lying around, eating and waiting to die. Once they reach sixty, some people will find many excuses for their laziness and lack of progress: "I have already worked hard when I was young. Now that I have retired, I should have a good rest and enjoy the joy of my old age. What's more, even if every month You can get a pension even if you don’t work, so why bother working so hard? "
"However, when I saw Andy Lau holding a concert in Shanghai, I had a new understanding and perspective on the sixty-year-old man. The King Andy Lau is not only as capable and handsome in appearance, but also in no way inferior to the younger generation in spirit.
Although Andy Lau also knows that the fans who come to watch his performance are not because of how good he sings, but because of the nostalgia involved, he treats this as perhaps his last performance. Yes, still not slacking off. From the online video, it can be seen that his costumes, stage design, and lighting are all striving for excellence and perfection, and there is no trace of perfunctoryness, numbness, or fatigue. Especially the frightening sliding kneeling. With his qualifications and reputation, it must not be for grandstanding or showmanship, but because he truly loves this stage, loves his audience, and wants to leave the best image of himself before bidding farewell to the music industry. To an audience that loves him. As a representative figure in the heyday of entertainment in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as a model worker who is still active on the screen despite being over sixty years old, his dedication and professionalism are truly admirable!
As we all know, the entertainment industry is a big mess. Many celebrities are involved in scandals, cheating, divorce dramas, and even bad behaviors such as lip-syncing, tax evasion, and acting as celebrities. However, Andy Lau is completely different. He is in sharp contrast to those who only pursue short-term fame and fortune and do not hesitate to violate their moral bottom line. He is like a bright light, adhering to his loyalty to art in the darkness. In Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves", he played a thief with great prowess; in Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", his wonderful performance was amazing; in "The Lost Orphan", he put down his superstar pretensions and his face was full of vicissitudes of life. The peasant character who is disheveled and has no regard for his own image is even more shocking. He never lowered his artistic standards to cater to vulgarity, always maintained his awe and love for performance, and used his actual actions to interpret what true artistic purity is.
During this concert in Shanghai, some people criticized Andy Lau because of the poor economic situation, so that even though he is over sixty, he is still busy making money. However, it should be noted that he had a live broadcast of a concert on Douyin on July 29, 2021. At that time, it was said that hundreds of millions of people were online, but he turned off the tipping function.
His singing skills were also questioned by the well-known singer Yang Kun. But there is no way, some people are just talented. For the king, singing is only a part of his entertainment career, but this part alone is enough to crush many self-righteous and self-proclaimed professional singers. But Andy Lau is a three-dimensional star in film, television and singing. In addition to singing, he has also created many dazzling screen images and accompanied three or four generations of people in their teenage years.
Andy Lau, as an outstanding representative of Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television artists, uses his own efforts and persistence to write his own immortal legend. Over the years, he has continued to refine himself and improve his professional quality. With dedication as his creed and professionalism as his weapon, he shines on stage and screen. His story inspires us and makes us understand that no matter what age or situation we are in, we should never give up the pursuit of dreams and persistence in work. He made us believe that as long as we keep working hard with enthusiasm and perseverance, we will be able to leave our own bright footprints on the road of life.
