In the dim night rain

he once wrote a poem in the misty night rain when he was in the agony of lovelorn: "it looks bleak in the drizzle at night. Rereading your letter, you feel warm. In the letter, you say goodbye, but feel your eyes are looking forward to the night of goodbye..." The lyrics reveal Zhong Weiqiang's pain and loneliness in his feelings at that time. This song was appreciated and asked to be sung by TAM Yonglin, but the most popular one in TVB was Tony Leung, so TVB decided to give this song to Tony Leung. Tony Leung also won the most popular male singer of the year in Hong Kong for this song, and "in the rain at a hazy night" also won the top ten golden melody nominations. Anita Mui, who is also a good friend, especially likes this song. She called Zhong Weiqiang several times and asked for a cover. Songs written with emotional stories are the most touching, and Anita Mui's singing has a unique flavor. Everyone's feeling of singing will be different.

Good voice

On the stage of the second season of the voice of China, Simon sang an English song rolling in the deep, which has been burning for nearly two years. He was not only full of enthusiasm and passion, but also added his own understanding and treatment to the song. The scene atmosphere continued to be hot. He won the turn of three tutors Wang Feng, Harlin and Naying, and finally joined the class of Tutor Wang Feng The old rock man and his tutor were all surprised. A-Mei turned around and said, "I'm really shocked.". Zhong Weiqiang, who is honored as "brother Qiang" by A-Mei, has been engaged in music band since he was a teenager, almost at the same time as TAM Yonglin. He has been following his music dream for more than 30 years. Even if his family doesn't support him, even if he almost becomes a vegetable, he never gives up. When he came to the voice of China this time, he said that he "came 100% for his daughter" because he had lived apart from her for many years and could not teach her to take care of her. He hoped that after seeing her performance, her daughter would understand that in life, she should "have the courage to face herself, learn to persist and believe in herself". These are the great principles that everyone would say, and he should do it with his own actions Look, my daughter. the sincere and natural singing of this "good rock dad" has won the affirmation of the tutors, and also caused a heated discussion about "rock music" on the field. Na Ying thinks that Zhong Weiqiang's singing is not flashy and flashy: "you are a kind of spirit, what you are singing is a kind of rock spirit"; Harlin, who loves rock and roll, also praised "brother Qiang": "your mentality, age and state are not problems, rock and roll will never die.". Wang Feng, who has a special love for Bob Dylan, describes Simon with an idol song: "forever young! You are a proof to all the young people who come to the good voice and tell them what it means to pursue their dreams and what it means to realize their dreams. " that night, we welcomed the oldest student ever, 60 year old Zhong Weiqiang from Hong Kong. A graffiti headscarf, a red T-shirt, and a pair of jeans. Although he is over 60 years old, Zhong Weiqiang's enthusiastic rock spirit has convinced his tutors. He revealed that he won the championship in the singing competition in the 1970s and had three failed marriages. This time, he came to the stage of good voice for his daughter who had not been contacted for many years. As a senior musician in Hong Kong, Zhong Weiqiang once formed a band with TAM Yonglin and wrote songs for Anita Mui. However, due to his impatient personality, he was not suitable to develop in the entertainment industry, so he changed his career. The story of "good rock dad" is very beautiful, and the singing skill even shocked the tutor and friends. But in fact, he is a real comer who has participated in "singing with passion".

Voice of the world's first re recorded singer

during the recording on July 2, 2013, Zhong Weiqiang's forgetting his words caused the recording to pause, and he forgot his words again after singing them again, so he walked out in the middle of the recording. In the backstage, when he was in a breakdown, he admitted to the director that he had hoped his daughter would come, but her daughter initially told him that he couldn't. Until the night before the recording, he suddenly received a phone call from his daughter in the hotel, telling him "Daddy, I love you!" This sentence excited him all night. Zhong Weiqiang once had three marriages, but because he was often immersed in music and ignored them, the three relationships all ended in failure. His daughter also lived with her mother and has not contacted her for many years. His daughter called him. Thinking of his daughter's call, Zhong Weiqiang's small pride was completely defeated. He forgot his words in the same place twice when recording the song, and he was sobbing for a time. The program team was forced to interrupt the recording for Zhong Weiqiang twice. The third time, he walked through the heart and finished singing. However, this kind of case recorded many times for a student is unique on the stage of good voice all over the world.
