Whether you like rock music or not, whether you like Cui Jian’s rock music or not, Cui Jian’s legend has continued since the birth of rock music in China.

Rock and roll is actually a culture on the fringes of society. No matter what kind of soil rock music grows up in, it may be rejected by the external environment. When various problems arise in a society, rock music can use its most sensitive nerves to penetrate into the depth and dark side of society. It is conceivable that these behaviors are often not recognized by the values ??of mainstream culture. Most of the mainstream culture promotes the beauty and happiness of society. It is difficult for the two values ????to understand each other from the beginning.

Cui Jian's performance at the Workers' Stadium in 1986 can be said to be a brave concession made by mainstream culture to marginalized culture. Wang Kun, who was the chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles at the time, overcame all objections and agreed to allow Cui Jian's band to perform at the Workers' Stadium. The situation at that time is unimaginable to everyone now. When Cui Jian was wearing a military uniform, with his trouser legs rolled up and down, and standing at the Workers' Stadium with a guitar in his hand, the audience was stunned. For people who experienced the turmoil of life in the 1960s and 1970s, culture-hungry people finally found a remedy at this time. This medicine was rock music. Although it was still a bit rough and powerful at that time, it was enough to heal people's inner wounds.

When it comes to what Cui Jian's first rock album is, Cui Jian himself has always believed that his first rock album was "Rock on the New Long March Road". In fact, Cui Jian released an album of covers of European and American rock songs as early as his Seven Plywood days. The beginning of the history of rock music was brought forward several years because of this. However, the songs in the album "Rock on the New Long March" can be said to be heard by everyone in China. In the era since the Gongti concert, the songs in three albums have almost established everyone's impression of Cui Jian's rock music, and they can even continue to this day. This can be said to be the nostalgia of people of this era, but from Cui Jian's own point of view, he has always pursued innovation and has not stayed proud and decadent in some of the glory of the past. From nothing to the recent "Light Freeze" album, Cui Jian's rock music has changed a lot along the way. From the initial folk-rock style to the later rap-rock style, "Impotent Power" and "Eggs Under the Red Flag" incorporated many avant-garde rock and alternative rock styles of the time. Until this new album, Cui Jian returned to the melody of music itself. The lyrics are written with more meaning, and the intention is revealed. On the surface, the music sounds bland and boring, but if you listen carefully, you will find the energy and surprise at its core. The bizarre story of the encounter between the man looking up to the sky and the girl from outer space in "The Girl Outside" tells us that people should have some kind of detached imagination when surviving in some kind of difficult situation. Regarding Cui Jian’s rock music, if I use one song from his album to illustrate it, it would be “Rolling Egg”. Rolling is his constant innovation, advancement. The egg is the essence of his rock music, and the core of rock music is the yolk in the egg.

The day before yesterday, Cui Jian successfully held a 30th anniversary rock concert at the Workers' Stadium. The venue was packed, and the audience was eagerly waiting for this rock veteran to ignite the energy in each of our bodies. Most of the songs Cui Jian arranged for his concert were songs from his new album or his recent albums. Cui Jian wants people to make some kind of change. For Cui Jian, who has sung "Nothing", "Girl in the Flower House", and "Rock on the New Long March" over and over again, his rock music should be constantly moving towards The current development should lead the audience to get closer to another brand-new world of Cui Jian. To be honest, I think this situation is still difficult to change. Judging from the situation at the scene, the audience's response to the songs in the first half was not too enthusiastic. In the second half, Cui Jian's classic rock songs were sung together with the heavyweight guest Police Band. "The Drifting Bottle" performed by the drummer and Cui Jian really ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Cui Jian’s live performance can be described as genuine, straightforward and refreshing. The cheerful and true temperament of a Beijing man is clearly visible in Cui Jian. Cui Jianzai's interaction with the audience was quite interesting. "It's too uncomfortable to sit and listen to rock music, stand up." Cui Jian talked about the album at the scene and said, "Everyone thinks the title song of my album is "Light Freeze" or "Never Look Back", but actually I think it is "The Girl Outside". Although many people say this song is very ugly, I like this song very much, so today I will sing my favorite song "Girl Outside". . Although Cui Jian's voice was a little hoarse in the second half, Cui Jian once again came out to perform passionately despite the endless calls from the audience. In the encore session, he finally brought everyone classic songs.

I remember Cui Jian once said on a talent show "China Star" that he was the grandson of Rock. Regarding the title "Godfather of Rock and Roll", Cui Jian himself said that hearing it makes him want to vomit. Many things in the name of rock and roll are actually based on my own convenience. The media has given many people the title of "King of Heaven and Queen of Heaven", which in many cases is misleading the public. But it is in an era when superstars are exhausted. The more the media wants to give the audience a "superstar" for everyone to admire, consuming cheap emotions in exchange for profits. Cui Jian has always firmly believed that rock and roll should be the mainstream of society. At present, pop music is just a commodity operated by the market and lacks the attitude of free creation. This view is somewhat radical, but the free creative attitude mentioned in it is what we lack now.

The name of my public account is "Ordinary People Talk". The above is my casual post. I hope to make more friends here. Regarding movies, literature or music, I just want to talk about my feelings. If you are interested, you can pay attention.
