From November 1st to 3rd, Andy Lau came to Taiwan, China to sing again after 11 years. He sang "Chinese" live at the concert. This song, however, greatly dissatisfied the DPP public opinion representative Wang Dingyu, "Policy Association CEO" Wang Yichuan and others, who believed that Andy Lau deliberately sang this song in Taiwan. But in fact, "Chinese" is a fixed track of Andy Lau 's "istheday" world tour, and the song's songwriters are all from Taiwan.
"The Chinese" composer Chen Yaochuan and lyricist Li Anxiu are all well-known behind-the-scenes musicians. Chen Yaochuan once served as the exclusive producer of Taiwan UFO Records, and later served as the music director of Taiwan Yi Neng Dynamic Records. Li Anxiu has worked in record companies such as bmg, Yineng Dongyin, and Hong Kong East Asia Records. The two are well-known "best partners" in the Chinese music scene. They have collaborated to create songs such as Meng Tingwei's "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" and Anita Mui's "Female Flower". They have worked closely with Andy Lau. Not only "The Chinese", but also "Forgetting Love", "God's Will", "World's No. 1" and other classic songs were written by them.
The single "Chinese" was released in April 1997, and was later included in the album "Love is So Magical" released in the same year. It is a work born to celebrate the return of Hong Kong. In 1997, this song won Radio Hong Kong's top ten Chinese songs of the year; in 1998, it won the Hong Kong TVB "Most Popular Mandarin Song" Gold Award.
It is worth mentioning that the MV of "The Chinese" was shot at the Great Wall. The picture of Andy Lau wearing a white Chinese gown standing on the Great Wall and looking into the distance is very classic.
