When people reach middle age, their memories are getting longer and longer, and often at a moment when people are unexpected, their heartstrings are suddenly plucked by something, causing some kind of emotion to bubble out like a spring.
One day at one o'clock in the afternoon, I was so sleepy that I was taking a nap.
In a daze, the neighbor's TV woke me up.
It was the theme song of the Hong Kong TV series "Shanghai Beach" that Yip Liyi sang that once emptied thousands of people in Chinese mainland.
On the screen in my mind, I seemed to see that on the Bund in Shanghai, in the heavy snow, Xu ** was giving Feng Chengcheng an umbrella.
At that time, Xu ** was very handsome, Feng Chengcheng was very beautiful, and Shanghai Beach was full of wonderful stories.
I sat up sharply. A sad mood slowly rose up in my heart.
For the post-60s, post-70s, and post-80s, TV, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, film and television, and pop songs are all indelible important parts of growing up memories.
In 1979, when China's borders had just opened up, the pop culture created in Hong Kong, a small land, instantly filled the cultural gap left by the mainland's political leadership over the past 30 years, and soothed and nourished the dry souls of the mainlanders, who had long been tempered by the class struggle.
In that era when there was no Internet, no mobile phones, and no short **, in Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong version of TV series created one after another ratings miracle of 10,000 empty alleys.
The Hong Kong-flavored pop songs, movies, and TV series that generations of Chinese once knew and loved have all declined.
At the same time, in Taiwan, the once-flourishing pop culture is in rapid decline.
All in all, the stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan that once shone in the night sky of Southeast Asia have aged, but the new generation has not yet grown up, and Korean pop culture is increasingly taking center stage.
In Chinese mainland, when people are generally aware of and continue to lament the interpersonal alienation caused by the popularity of television, television has slowly been replaced by the Internet and faded out of people's lives.
When we are middle-aged, we feel that our years are passing rapidly through the cracks of our fingers, but from time to time we find through the Internet that "Xu **" Feng Chengcheng and "Ding Li" who have disappeared from the TV screen for many years...It's already old, and it's old.
Modernity and the technological revolution have brought convenience, and we enjoy the ever-changing achievements of civilization brought about by the development of science and technology, but we also have to accept the beauty of the past that has been eliminated one after another.
We look back and look at the fading memories that we can see but can no longer grasp.
At noon that day, the theme song of "Shanghai Tang", which woke me up from my sleep, brought back many memories of my teenage years.
