After finishing "Back to Lhasa", Liang Liang sang "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty" and "Longing is a Knife" in one go.
It's a pity that the Blue Shark band consists of honest men. At this point, they should have produced someone like the members of a certain foreign band, Guns N' Roses, who can run all over the stage. Even if they don't have as much physical activity as the band, they should at least reach the level of the Tang Dynasty bassist from the previous Hong Kong Coliseum concert.
If someone were to run a couple of laps on stage, the atmosphere would be even more enthusiastic.
Unfortunately, we can't count on Liu Yuyong. Xiao Yu and Wang Fan are the drummer and keyboardist, so of course they can't run away.
He was the only one left who could run.
Of course he couldn't run away. He had just said that only a sand dune could do that. If he tried to run away now, wouldn't he be throwing bricks at his own feet?
Even if they didn't run away, the atmosphere was still a bit off, enough to blow the roof off the red pipe.
Now there's only one song left.
Liang Liang put down his bass, wiped the smile off his face—whether sweet or bitter, serious or playful—took a deep breath, and stood solemnly in front of the microphone.
Liang Liang plans to focus all her energy on singing and will no longer be responsible for accompaniment.
Anyway, someone else will take your place.
Carp, the bassist for the band Black Island, played bass for this song.
"Next, I'm going to sing a brand new song for you, and it's a piece composed by Daoxiang Ganghoucai. It's called 'I Love You, Motherland,' and I hope you'll enjoy it!"
After introducing the piece, Liang Liang turned around and nodded to the band with a serious expression.
The guitar begins, its melody melodious, followed by a thumping drumbeat, then the keyboard and bass join in…
Whenever I feel pain,
I just want you to hold me tight.
Just like you've always done
Touch my soul
Whenever I am confused
You give me a sense of warmth.
It felt like someone's arm was tightly wrapped around my shoulder...
Before Hong Kong's return to China, there were many patriotic songs in Hong Kong, and the people of Hong Kong at that time were patriotic from the bottom of their hearts.
The most representative song is "My Chinese Heart," which has been popular since the 1980s and has been frequently featured in many galas over the years.
Ironically, the next generation after Hong Kong's return to China lost their sense of national identity and, twenty years later, became rebellious sons, which can only be described as a huge mistake.
Banbijiangshan once wrote two versions of "I Love You, Motherland," which were called the "Fireworks Version" and the "Peaceful Bloom Version."
The version with the fireworks clearly carried a sense of resentment, and it's now virtually impossible to find online.
The version that appeared most often later on was the "Blooming" version.
There was a gap of several years between the two versions. When the Fireworks version was written, Banbi Jiangshan's life was probably still in dire straits, which is why he had some complaints. But when the Rage version was written, his life was obviously much better, so he wrote the completely new Rage version.
I've heard of the first version of Liang Liang, but I don't remember it much anymore.
He naturally sang the more vibrant version of "I Love You, Motherland".
I love you, my motherland, my beloved mother.
I shed tears for you, and I am proud of you.
I love you, my motherland, my dear mother.
I shed tears for you, and I am proud of you.
One day this song will grow old
Like branches on an old tree
But I will still sing it again and again.
Like my life
Some people will gradually disappear.
Some relationships will gradually fall apart.
But you will always be in my heart.
Like an incomparable sun
…
I hope you will remember me.
Your wandering child
No matter when or where
I miss you.
I hope you can understand what you mean to me.
No matter when or where
You are like my life.
I love you, my motherland, my beloved mother.
I shed tears for you, and I am proud of you.
I love you, my motherland, my beloved mother.
I shed tears for you, and I am proud of you.

Liang Liang lived more than twenty years after the country became prosperous, so when he sang this song, his emotions were genuine, without any falsehood or affectation.
He was very dedicated to his performance.
The two words that appear most frequently in the lyrics of "Half the Country" are "crying" and "blooming". These two words can be seen in many of his songs.
This was considered a popular term for luxury, sophistication, and coolness at the time, which shaped his pop-rock style.
In fact, he is sometimes very contradictory. Sometimes he is self-satisfied, and sometimes he doubts himself. On one hand, he criticizes the world of fame and fortune, and on the other hand, he sings pop songs to make money. He satirizes television in the first place, and then he goes on to perform at variety shows.
Finding a balance between ideals and reality is like walking on stilts on a tightrope; it's actually quite tiring.
Of course, these were not things that Liang Liang cared about; he was only focused on singing his songs.
He has no right to comment on other people's rights and wrongs, because the path they are on now has many similarities to the path taken by the half of the country.
They also follow a pop-rock hybrid approach, which is why he never says in public that Blue Shark is a pure rock band. However, the band occasionally releases pure rock songs, which is like dancing on a tightrope.
The only difference is that he doesn't need to deliberately hide himself. Whether others call them a rock band or a pop band, they can say whatever they want.
Liang Liang sang this song with all her heart until the last note lingered in the Hong Kong Coliseum for three days before fading into the distance.
Before the handover, the patriotic fervor in Hong Kong was still very strong, as evidenced by the enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Perhaps because this was the last song of the concert, the applause lasted for more than a minute.
As for those who initially entered the Hong Kong Coliseum with the intention of finding fault, they may have long forgotten their original purpose for entering the Coliseum.
All the singers and musicians participating in this Hong Kong Coliseum concert went on stage and waved to the audience.
"Thank you for the enthusiastic applause and encouragement from our fellow Hong Kong compatriots. This September 4th Hung Hom Rock Power Concert has come to a successful conclusion. We wish our friends and compatriots in Hong Kong all the best for the future and great prosperity!"
After Liang Liang gave his thank-you speech, the entire cast and crew chatted and laughed as the audience left the stage.
There are already quite a few people behind the scenes: many senior executives of Jinmeng Company, Chen Min and his subordinates, as well as Shi Zhang, Chen Jiewen and other employees of Jinmeng Company.
This performance was undoubtedly a great success, and a successful performance naturally deserves a celebration. Since Jin Meng and Chen Min were there, we can skip the champagne party.
After all, spraying yourself with champagne in winter isn't exactly a pleasant experience.
"Xiao Liang! Congratulations on the complete success of your performance!" Chen Min raised his glass in celebration.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen! Actually, this is all thanks to everyone. From Mr. Jin of Jinmeng Company's strategic planning to the strong support of the B An Band, if any link in the chain had a problem, this concert would not have been possible. So, this is all thanks to everyone."
Flowers should naturally be scattered among everyone, and a flower-adorned sedan chair will only be stable if everyone carries it.
"Well said! Cheers to the victory of tonight's performance!"
Everyone downed a drink.
