1987, Chow Yun Fat's words made Alan Tam decide to quit the podium forever. Why?

The 1980s and 1990s were the golden age of Hong Kong music, and Samuel Hui, Tan Guan, Zheng Jie, George Lam, Paula Tsui and Teresa Teng were all in their heyday.

At that time, the "Four Heavenly Kings" dominated the whole music scene.

With the passage of time, many Mesozoic forces began to rise slowly. The most famous are Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Anita Mui and others. At that time, the music scene in Hong Kong was full of stars.

Take Zhang Tan, which was very popular at that time, as an example. They have been in the music world for ten years. Alan Tam had made small achievements in the music scene at that time, occupying the top spot in the music scene all the year round, while Leslie Cheung, the most up-and-coming star, first developed in the film and television industry, and began to try new fields after the film became popular.

With its affectionate voice and gentle temperament, it quickly attracted many fans, and soon reached the level on a par with Alan Tam.

With the help of the media, some competitive topics are often created, and many fans have begun to compare them.

In fact, in life, Alan Tam, as a music senior, didn't take this matter to heart, and once said: He is very optimistic about the future development prospect of music in Leslie Cheung. Leslie Cheung also admires Alan Tam very much. They don't have much communication in their lives.

However, fans of the two families don't think so. Under the repeated instigation of the media, the relationship between the two fans became more and more tense, because the information at that time was relatively closed and I knew nothing about the situation between the fans.

In the end, two fans got into a fistfight, which caused quite a stir in the society. Finally, the two stars came forward to express their views, and the matter came to an end.

1987, tvbi held the award ceremony of "Top Ten Jade Pure Gold" and invited musicians from all walks of life including Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung.

That year, Chow Yun Fat served as the host of the award ceremony. Just when he saw that "the most popular male singer" was Alan Tam, he casually said:

"Alan Tam again? You won't cheat this time, will you? This time it was hosted by a radio station and it was an upright award ceremony. "

Unexpectedly, this is a joke, but it left a hurt in Alan Tam's heart. He boarded the platform with tears in his eyes and said:

"I won the prize, which proves that my efforts and your support have not been in vain. Every time I win an award, there will be a lot of right and wrong, so this will be my last award. I will never attend any music ceremony again. "

Then he walked off the platform, and Chow Yun Fat was pushed to the forefront by his own jokes, which was slowly forgotten by everyone after a long time.

Zhang Tan Hegemony ended with Alan Tam's withdrawal. Later, Leslie Cheung's career began to flourish, becoming "the most popular male singer", and Alan Tam's kindness to the younger generation became a much-told story in the entertainment circle.

Now, Alan Tam is over 70 years old. He often shows his daily life on social platforms and lives a very happy life. However, Leslie Cheung has been away from us 17 years, and the heyday of music at that time has been getting farther and farther away from us. Now, it is inevitable that some people will cry.
