Editor’s introduction: I, the me in life, the me at work, the me among my friends, the me among my family, I have different interpretations and different understandings, Leslie Cheung’s "I" " is also interpreting himself. This song "I" is considered to be very representative of Leslie Cheung's own voice. He himself likes this song very much. More appreciation of Leslie Cheung’s classic song lyrics can be found on Giant Composition Network.
When I listened to this song, it was a windy night before the No. 10 typhoon signal was hoisted in Hong Kong. The dark clouds were overwhelming. I couldn't sit still, so I changed into sneakers and went out for a run. It was quite cold that night, and the trees on the campus were dancing wildly with the strong wind under the red and purple light, and there were scattered raindrops. The whole night was quiet, but it seemed like a devil was waving the clouds and raindrops silently. I started to get a little scared and decided to go back. When we were going up the last slope, the calf muscles had already given out a warning. Maybe it was because the temperature was not high, and they were showing signs of cramping... The enthusiasm seemed to be extinguished by this devil without any suspense.
At that time, there were so many personal experiences, heavy shackles, and a vicious cycle. I forgot who I was, what I loved, and what I hated. I am running on a track full of thorns, and life seems to be supported by short-term hope. But just like Pandora opening the box, hope suddenly stops appearing and seems to be locked at the bottom of the box forever. I began to understand what Pascal said, that part of the reed that people can think about is swaying in the wind, so fragile.
I was halfway up the hill when the song "I" came from my headphones, Cantonese version:
I am what I am
I am what I am so special I
I am so glad that there is more than one kind of footprints on the earth
God is fair to all kinds of people in the world
I am so glad to be standing on my roof and be happy as a human being.
Take my heart and tell the world what it means to be brave
What am I? Only one out of ten
The hymn of water nymphs rings in the vineyard
What am I? I am a piece of gravel in the world
I will like this even if the stone is bigger
I am very lucky to be an upright person among all living beings
Tell the world what it means to be brave with sincerity
What am I? Only one out of ten
The hymn of water nymphs rings in the vineyard
What am I? I am one among the gravels of the ages
I am so big and grateful to be born with this me
After listening to it, my face burst into tears... Every word is hammered into my heart, I am insignificant among the gravels of the ages. But it cannot be forgotten.
In 2000, Leslie Cheung's album "Big Heat" was released. This song "I" is considered to be very representative of Leslie Cheung's own voice. He himself likes this song very much. This song was composed by Leslie Cheung, and Lin Xi wrote the lyrics in both Mandarin and Cantonese. It is said that he would sing this song twice at the beginning and at the end of his "big hit" concerts at the time.
It is said that Leslie Cheung had gone from narcissism to self-love at that time. From Lin Xi’s description, we can see the shadow of such a stubborn and true nature:
“Today is September 12th, I am Lin Xi, and I would like to wish my brother a happy birthday first! I remember that my brother’s birthday every year, he talks about it very powerfully, with a bit of a bossy attitude, and it is specially held in a banquet hall of a super luxurious hotel, for sure. I would invite all his good friends there. I was shyer than I am now, and I didn’t know those people very well except for playing cards, so I had to search for a boat, because you know, brother. He is a heartthrob, so there are many people around him on his birthday. As a child like me, (I am not qualified / unable) to approach him, I can only say happy birthday.
But brother. They will take care of every table, so after going there a few more times, I found that there is no need to be afraid, sooner or later it will be my turn to come over and chat with you, it is very happy! I remember one year, he was drunk. . Wow, what he said was very exciting, and he talked about the bad things about the music industry and the media. But I don’t dare to repeat it, and I don’t dare to repeat it on my behalf. I was so bold that I dared to say anything. So I advised him: "Wow, you made an agreement here. If you drink too much, just talk. Don't do anything rashly. Be careful!"
My brother said: What else do I want? Afraid, be careful?!
He was drunk at that time, so of course there is no need to be careful. In this world, you really have to be careful when you wake up from drunkenness and go out to deal with those reporters. Don’t be too bold when it’s time.”
Despite this, three years later, he actually chose to leave after singing this song. After the fall incident, a reporter interviewed his agent Chen Shufen and said: "He didn't know it when he got sick, and it wasn't until later that the disease started to have some morbid reactions... You can't imagine how much he hopes he can get better. He has been seeing a doctor. He cannot accept the fact that he has this disease, because he has everything. Now he chooses a job he likes. How can such a person have depression? It is unimaginable, and no one else will believe it. , how is it possible?" It was as if his departure at this time really provided another heroic annotation for this song "I", so naked.
Mandarin lyrics:
I am what I am
I will always love me like this
Happiness is
< p>There is more than one way to be happyThe most honor is
Everyone is the glory of the Creator
No need to dodge
For me Live the life you like
No need to wear ink
Just stand in the bright corner
I am who I am
The colors are different Fireworks
The sky is vast
Be the strongest bubble
I like me
Let the rose bloom
p>In the lonely desert
The same blooming naked
How happy
Live happily in the glass house
Tell the world
What is light and aboveboard
However, in the hearts of people like me who are still alive, no matter what kind of pain, this song sounds full of life. hope. Pain is so insignificant in the face of God's creation. Live authentically, be brave and honest, humble and confident.
Live for who you are!
