Song Appreciation:
"Silence is Golden" is a classic collaboration between Leslie Cheung and Xu Guanjie. It is a highly popular Cantonese song. This song was composed by Leslie Cheung. The melody of the song uses a combination of ancient music and pop elements. It sounds very fresh, and the use of guzheng is also very brilliant. This song embodies a major function of pop music: reintegrating and interpreting traditional concepts and providing a new summary of social emotions. This poem written by Xu Guanjie is very philosophical. In life, one should "let others laugh and scold, and live a free and easy life." Only by ignoring other people's gossip can life be unrestrained and live a wonderful life. Leslie Cheung and Xu Guanjie's affectionate cooperation is a sound that cannot be forgotten.
