Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi were two singers familiar to the audience in the 1980s, and the names of the two of them who sang a duet of male and female vocals always appeared in both, so they were considered as husband and wife for a long time. "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Walking on the Road in the Country" and other Taiwanese campus songs, people on the mainland first heard it not through Taiwanese singers, but through Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi.
Their most prosperous era was from the late 1970s to the 1980s, and then gradually fell silent. Now they are both in their 60s and 70s, so they rarely perform on stage again. Relatively speaking, Shellys has fewer opportunities to perform publicly, which is related to her patient experience.
covers campus folk songs and quickly became popular.
Xie Lisi was originally a singer. She worked in the Chinese Film Orchestra very early and sang episodes and theme songs for many movies, but she did not become popular because of it. Wang Jieshi was a film actor at first, but he found that his conditions were very suitable for singing in a vocal class, and then transferred to the film orchestra, so he met with Shelly and soon became a partner.
was the first to sing songs such as "Why the Flowers Are So Red" and they were immediately accepted by the audience. At that time, the two men and women sang a song together, and it was divided into high and low voices, which was very new to many audiences. The two were very young at the time, and they cooperated with each other, and soon became popular. The golden age of
was in the 1980s. At that time, Taiwanese campus songs were introduced, but most ordinary people could not hear them. They both took the lead and sang a lot of campus songs. These songs include "Treading the Waves", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and "Walking on the Country Road". These songs have fresh lyrics and cheerful melody, which brought a fresh wind to the music scene. Audiences have been listening to model dramas and quotations in the past ten or more years, and they were immediately attracted to such songs.
In 1981, Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi released their first album "When Will I Meet?" The tapes were sold at a price of 6.9 yuan and 5 million boxes were sold. This is a staggering sales performance. The voices of the two also followed these tapes into thousands of households.
is also because the names of the two of them are always connected. Many people take it for granted that the two of them are couples, and they have made many jokes and have been misunderstood many times.
The young singer became the elderly
Later, as the awareness of music copyright increased, the two stopped singing so many new works, and their popularity gradually declined. By the 1990s, the pop music scene in the Mainland was surging, and new people came out in large numbers. Wang Jieshi Xie Lisi became a senior in the music scene and did not make any further transformation, and was soon forgotten by some young people.
will still have performances for both of them, but most of the time they are performed in nostalgic form. In addition, Xie Lisi had physical problems at the end of the 1990s. Not only could she not sing, but she could not take care of herself. Fortunately, he slowly recovered later and once returned to the stage.
are now in their 70s and the other is nearly 70 years old. No matter how healthy they are, they don't have many opportunities to perform on stage. Around 2008, I actually saw Wang Jieshi's performance in a live party. At that time, Xie Lisi's body should have been inconvenient to perform frequently, so Wang Jieshi was singing solo on stage. If I remember correctly, he sang "Laughing Better than Cry" which was all the rage in the 1980s.
pays tribute to the two singers
Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi are singers who emerged from a certain age, and they made people feel refreshed at the time, so they were also warmly welcomed by them. Times have changed, singers have grown old, and many people no longer pay attention to them. Today's young people don't even know the fresh air they brought to the people.
Here, I would like to express my respect to Wang Jieshi and Ms. Xie Lisi, who were so energetic and now in old age.
