Miss Huang Jiexian

Just watching the news, I suddenly saw an article about David Henry Hwang, only to know that David Henry Hwang has been dead for ten years.

Speaking of James J.S.Wong, I'm afraid many people don't know him. However, if people like me like to listen to songs with artistic conception and classical beauty, they must have heard Don't Come at Dawn, Laugh at the Sea, Men Should Strengthen themselves and Shanghai Beach, and they must know that these lyrics were written by David Henry Hwang.

David Henry Hwang's classical poetry has profound skills, and most of his lyrics are meaningful and memorable. Unlike some songs nowadays, the lyrics are full of desires and personal needs. James J.S.Wong's writing is implicit and atmospheric. Whether it is "Don't Come at Dawn" or "Shanghai Beach", there is an indescribable sense of vicissitudes. After reading these words, people will have a sense of powerlessness that is unpredictable and complicated, but this sense of powerlessness will not sink people. This is a kind of compassion that the wise see through everything.

Supposedly, people who feel this way must be pedantic. But James ·J·s· Wang is not. David Henry Hwang was a bohemian all his life, just as he said, "Go with the flow and only remember the present". He indulged himself, made a third-class film and wrote a collection of dirty jokes. His Non-anthology is one of the books I want to print most. The yellow jokes he wrote in it are obscure and not explicit, not obscene, at most. Let's take an example: a male doctor came back from rounds and said to a great female nurse: A strange thing happened just now. A male patient has a tattoo. The female nurse asked: What is a tattoo? Male doctor answers: Tattoos are first-class. The female nurse was also very curious and went to the ward to have a look. Come back and say to the male doctor: you are wrong, not "first-class", but "a river flowing eastward". What other yellow jokes can contain classical poetry! James J.S.Wong's talent is evident.

James J.S.Wong suffered from cancer in his later years, but he was still happy. He should sleep when he should sleep and eat when he should eat. I also made a program "Nobody Defends Tonight" with others. In the program, I speak freely, talk about sex and have no scruples. The audience also agrees that this program is not obscene, because David Henry Hwang is a classical and unruly scholar.

David Henry Hwang has been dead for ten years, just like the sunset in the horizon, which represents the end of an era for Hong Kong lyricists. Although there is Lin now, and his lyrics are meaningful, most of them are men and women, not as big as Huang Zhihong's lyrics, and the pattern is too small.

The important reason why I admire David Henry Hwang is that his thoughts are interlinked with Zhuangzi's philosophy of life, that is, the game world. Life is impermanent and should not be stubborn.
