August 9 is Cecilia’s birthday. Happy birthday to our disco queen!
Cecilia’s character and fashion has been largely inspired by Anita Mui, who is an iconic Hong Kong actress and singer that defined much of 1980s-1990s Cantopop and cinema. She represents the youthful and industrious energy of the era. Bold in her artistry and expression, Anita Mui regularly challenged traditional gender representation on stage in a society that was largely conservative. Her life and legacy is a major inspiration to our team.
Eason Chan is an iconic Hong Kong singer with many Cantopop and Mandopop albums. I first heard this song on Youth With You 3 when it was covered in the first performance round. Honestly I didn’t think their cover was that good…but I could tell instantly that I would like the original version of the song. I guess that says a lot about the quality of this song! It’s a rock song that starts somber and slow but then quickly builds. Sadly this song isn’t on US Spotify (there are covers though, as well as another great Eason Chan song with a title that has a similar vibe 《陪你度过漫长岁月》). Really the only flaw is that it’s a short song at only a bit over 3 minutes, so I’m always left wishing it were longer!
陈奕迅 (Eason Chan) - 让我留在你身边
我从来不说话 因为我害怕 没有人回答 我从来不挣扎 因为我知道 这世界太大
挣扎 zhēngzhá - to struggle
太多时间浪费 太多事要面对 太多已无所谓 太多难辨真伪太多纷扰是非在你身边是谁
辨 biàn - to distinguish / to recognize 真伪 zhēnwěi - true or bogus / authenticity 纷扰 fēnrǎo - turmoil / unrest / disturbance 是非 shìfēi - right and wrong / quarrel
