The famous musician Gu Jiahui died of illness, 92 years old. At first glance, unfortunate news, I believe that many Hong Kong citizens are deeply sorry.Gu Jiahui is known as the godfather of Hong Kong music scene. He has opened the door of Cantonese pop songs. He not only created more than a thousand popular Cantonese songs, but also sang a large number of singers, laying the status of Guangdong songs in Hong Kong and even Greater China.Gu Jiahui died, marked that the Hong Kong music scene lost a palace -level figure.

No exaggeration, where there is a Chinese, you will hear Gu Jiahui's songs. Even if many young people may not be too familiar with the name Gu Jiahui, but as long as they play the Shanghai Beach, which encourages generations of Hong Kong people,Under the Lion Rock, the forgottenness of the sigh of sighs of life, I believe that they will all speak up, and can even hum the melody of the song, and then suddenly marveled that he wrote it.
Combining East -West Music Creation Classic Famous Songs
Gu Jiahui settled in Hong Kong at the age of 17. He loved painting herself. Since childhood, she has not touched music, because her sister Gu Mei relied on singing to support her family. When her sister practiced songs and learned music, he began to learn piano.Later, he performed at the nightclub.He later received scholarships and Shao Yifu to funded to go to the United States for further studies and began to receive formal training. After completion, he returned to Hong Kong and worked as a soundtrack in Shaw and Jiahe Film Company.
In 1974, he composed of laughter for the wireless TV drama, and the song became popular. Not only did he create the first Cantonese theme song in the history of Hong Kong, but also renovated the development of the Hong Kong music scene.In the 1970s, English songs and Mandarin songs were mainstream music. Many people believed that the pop songs in Guangdong were difficult to ascend to the elegant hall. Laughing marriage changed everyone's perception of Guangdong songs. In addition, the TV series was popular at that time.The playback rate of theme songs has increased, making Cantonese songs more and more popular.
Cantonese songs can be popular in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a popular culture, and Gu Jiahui contributed.He has a high talent in composition and arrangement.

The tune melody is elegant and elegant, making people overwhelming.The unrestrained rhythm, showing the taste of the rivers and lakes and the flavor of the sofa, the world is always good to use western string music to accompany the full song, interspersed the flute and the zither, is the perfect combination of east and west music, making the whole song dynamic, fashionable, momentumPound.
Whenever Gu Jiahui's achievements in Hong Kong music are mentioned, he has to mention his best partner -the late lyricist Huang Zhan.Gu Jiahui has diversified songs, the melody is atmospheric, and Huang Zhan has a deep Chinese heritage.Many of the works of "Huihuang" are the theme songs of TV series or movies.

Hong Kong Government Subo to more music talents
Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui have passed away, marking the official conclusion of the "Huihuang" era, which belongs to Guangdong songs. As for whether the pop culture of Guangdong songs can continue, it depends on whether the composer and the lyricist can be born.In Hong Kong, there must be a talented high -end talent such as Gu Jiahui or Huang Zhan to support Hong Kong's popular culture.
The Hong Kong Government threatened to grab talents at home and abroad, and the "Talent Service Window" website was launched in just one week. It has received 2,600 applications in terms of high -end talent pass.He is cutting and cutting. I hope that the official will not only focus on creating and finance when grabbing talents, but also integrate both talents in literary and artistic creation. High -end talents like Gu Jiahui can not let go.The development of the ground continues to enrich the music life of Hong Kong and the global Chinese.
