Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, like Boya and Ziqi, are the best partners in the Hong Kong music scene. With their tacit cooperation and classic works, they have written a moving legend.
Back in the 60s of the last century, Koo Ka-fai was the director of Hong Kong TVB**, and Huang Zhan was a talented advertising man. By chance, the two met and started their ** journey.
Huang Zhan's words are affectionate and poetic, and they can always touch people's hearts; Gu Jiahui's music has a beautiful melody, a bright rhythm, and is full of appeal. The two have very different styles, but they complement each other. Their first collaboration was the popular "Shanghai Tang". This song was written by Huang Zhan and composed by Koo Ka-fai, and once it came out, it became popular on the streets and became a classic in the Hong Kong music scene.
Since then, they have worked together to create many well-known songs, such as "Love of the Year", "Thousands of Rivers and Thousands of Mountains Always Love", "A Laugh in the Sea" and so on. Each song carries their hard work and emotions, and also witnesses their deep friendship.
In the process of cooperation, the two appreciate each other and support each other. Sometimes for a note or a lyric, they will scrutinize it repeatedly, and even fight for it, but this does not affect their friendship in the slightest. Gu Jiahui once said: "Working with Huang Zhan is a pleasure and a challenge. And Huang Zhan said: "Gu Jiahui is my bosom friend, without him, my lyrics may not be so moving." ”
However, there is no feast in the world. In 2004, Huang Zhan died of illness at the age of 63. Grief-stricken, Koo said: "Huang Zhan is not only my partner, but also my good brother, and his departure is a huge loss to the Hong Kong music scene. Their friendship has become a good story in the Hong Kong music scene and an eternal legend in the history of Chinese.
Today, their works are still sung by people, and those touching melodies and soulful lyrics are deeply engraved in people's hearts like the imprint of time. The friendship between Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui will always flow in time and shine.
