Ge Mingming, a folk artist and storyteller, has worked at Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station for 30 years. He founded and hosted the program "Funny Wang Xiaomao". He told reporters:

Fu Ziming has come to the radio station to record many episodes of "Funny Wang Xiaomao", and he has played most of the characters. Whether it is a villain or a common man, Yi is very good at playing such roles. He enters the scene quickly and knows the right position. Everyone is happy to play with Yi. Whenever Fu Ziming takes off his role, he always smiles and is very humble. He is completely different from the roles he is good at playing. Everyone is very happy to follow Yi Ga Sanhu. Later, Yi sang the Shanghainese song "It's Difficult to Be a Human" written by Wang Huiquan and became one of the pioneers of Shanghainese songs.

In the 1960s, there were Shanghai-language groups singing "Members Carrying River Mud" and performances singing "Six Models". These Shanghai-language songs were of high artistic quality, but they had not yet formed an artistic fashion trend marked by the singer. They were unique but rarely seen. Followers.

After 30 years of silence in Shanghai-language songs, in the early 1990s, Fu Ziming's song "It's Hard to Be a Human" was groundbreaking. The song combined Chinese rap tongue twisters with European and American rap, forming a unique artistic charm. Fu Ziming stirred up Shanghai. The whirlwind of Chinese language songs has gradually formed a fashionable art trend since the end of Qingping, with many followers. In 2008, Fu Ziming sang the Shanghainese song "Goodbye" and other songs in the "Weekly Opera Broadcast" that I directed and directed, which was deeply loved by the audience. Fu Ziming became a pioneer and an iconic figure in Shanghainese songs.

Sun Jijun, director of the Comedy Art Museum, told reporters that the Shanghai People's Comedy Troupe promoted a group of young comedic actors in the 1980s. These actors were called eight "little comedies", and Fu Ziming was one of them.

"Honeymoon Travel", which he co-starred with Lin Xibiao, won high praise from the audience. Fu Ziming was also good at learning to sing and adapting foreign songs. At that time, his recordings of "A Bachelor's Romance" and "Chaplin Marriage Agency" were very popular across the country. Based on his understanding of his performance characteristics and the foundation of some works, he began to focus on the development of Shanghainese songs from the early 1990s, and several of his Shanghainese songs became phenomenal. His performance made the audience feel that the song could be sung in Shanghainese.

According to Sun Jijun: "Perhaps influenced by the fact that Cantonese can be sung in Hong Kong, Taiwan and previous national MTV awards, Fu Ziming had the idea of ​​​​composing in Shanghainese, implemented it and achieved good results. In the song It has a comical flavor, but also resonates with the times, and even has a sense of Shanghainese's unwillingness to admit defeat in the early days of reform and opening up. The writing of these lyrics and tunes reveals the style of Shanghai style, with some borrowing and others discarding, embodying the spirit of Shanghai style culture. "

Composer Hou Xiaosheng had a relationship with Fu Ziming, and they were old friends for many years. Around 1990, when Hou Xiaosheng was working at the Shanghai Audio and Video Publishing House, a cassette tape of the comic musical "Chang'e Plays Jigong" was released. The cassette used pop songs to write lyrics and string together the story. It was performed by Fu Ziming and Zhang Xiaoling, written by Liang Dingdong, and Hou Xiaosheng It was the editor in charge that the circulation of this comic musical ranked first in the society that year.

"Baixiang Big World" was the theme song of a program on Channel 5 of Shanghai Cable Channel at that time. The song lasted only 45 seconds. It introduced various entertainment projects in Shanghai Big World. Hou Xiaosheng composed the music, Xu Shili wrote the lyrics, and Fu Ziming is the author of this song. The singer of the song.

Hou Xiaosheng has been paying attention to Huyu music works for a long time. He once hoped that Fu Ziming could make a comeback: "I know that he is still very focused on Huyu songs. We contacted him a few years ago, but for some reasons, he politely declined."

Shanghai Ren Zhen, a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of rap and Shanghai comedian, once had a relationship with Fu Ziming. She told reporters: Mr. Huang Yongsheng and many elders in the folk art industry have always advocated that literature and art should be innovative and attract young people. Fu Ziming is talented. His form of interpretation was relatively new and trendy at the time, and the songs he created were more attractive to young people. Combining rap with Shanghainese is also an innovation, and the song performance techniques are also somewhat difficult.

Many citizens also recalled the passing of Fu Ziming. Xiao Jing, a citizen who works in the media, told reporters: "I saw his Huyu song album tape when I was little. Unfortunately, I was still young and didn't buy the tape. , I feel a little regretful now that I think about it.”
