Talking about a trip to Africa

The band members are: lead singer, guitarist, bassist Huang and drummer. Among them, Huang is the younger brother.

Ka Kui Wong, the founder of the band, fell in love with playing guitar at the age of 17. Like many teenagers who like guitar, Ka Kui Wong didn't want to form a band at that time, but just entertained himself. Later, I worked as a guitarist in an amateur band, responsible for melody guitar. Once, the lead guitarist in the team scolded him, saying that his skills were too poor to be a big deal forever. This scolding shows Ka Kui Wong's determination to work hard. His first goal is to practice guitar hard and play better than the lead guitarist in the future. As a result, he not only did it, but also went one step further and created a legendary rock band.

1986, beyond released its first album "Goodbye Ideal" at its own expense, but the sales volume was flat. Their relatively different rock music has not been widely supported by fans. Their agent told them that if the album didn't sell, they wouldn't have a chance to release the record.

1988, beyond, who struggled between music ideal and business for two years, released a new album "Secret Police". On 1988, the album "The Good Earth" was rated as one of the top ten jadeite pure gold and won the first place in non-love songs.

In fact, beyond at this time has made some compromises and become more popular than the ideal music when they first formed the band, but their music is still different from those romantic, sad in spring and autumn, and singing softly. Some people say that beyond initiated the "non-love song era" of popular songs.

From The Good Earth, beyond entered its peak period, during which they created a series of classic pop songs that were widely sung.

"I really love you" praises great and selfless maternal love, and "No more hesitation" encourages young people not to give up their ideals. "Our Days" was written by Ka Kui Wong for Mandela, a black leader fighting for equal rights. With the popularity of this song, it has penetrated into the hearts of many fans.

199 1 year, BEYOND began their trip to Africa. During his trip, Ka Kui Wong wrote the song "Amani", which tells his deep feelings for war and children. The last sentence of this song is sung repeatedly, which means: We call for peace. Ka Kui Wong once said, "When I go to see the third world, I should not only look at poverty, but also look at the changes in the third world and the future third world. Starting from people's conscience, I will reflect on people's behavior emotionally. As long as we are willing to pay a little attention, they can also move forward with us tomorrow. "

The young band moved his fans again and again with their concern and enthusiasm for the world.

BEYOND's songs make many people feel that there is a wider world to be passionate about besides private life. Of course, there are many things that can arouse teenagers' aspirations. But BEYOND is really different. On the surface, they are no different from other stars and singers. They also wear the most dazzling clothes, keep the coolest hairstyles and play the most avant-garde rock music, but they sing the feeling of surpassing themselves in human nature. In fact, many people feel this way when they are busy making money, falling in love and making themselves happy in their daily lives, at least they will be moved by this feeling. BEYOND achieved transcendence by singing and became the most successful band in Hong Kong at that time.

From 65438 to 0993, beyond published a new album "Joy and Fury", among which "Broad Sky" was rated as the most popular original song of the year and one of beyond's classic songs. 1On June 24th, 993, Ka Kui Wong accidentally fell off the stage while recording a program on Fuji TV in Tokyo. After being in a coma for six days in the hospital, he passed away forever. "Broad Sky" has also become his swan song, and sad fans are surprised to find that the lyrics of this song are simply a true portrayal of Ka Kui's life.

Although people always die, sudden or abnormal death is always more powerful than normal old age. Like Monroe, John F. Kennedy and so on. And recently, Leslie Cheung, abnormal death not only makes them more legendary, but also makes people remember them for a long time. Ka Kui Wong died at the peak of transcendence, which was also the time when his personal charm was the most flamboyant. It can be said that his untimely death was like a camera, which fixed his life in the most perfect moment. A year after his death, band members and fans missed him very much. Three years after his death, BEYOND performed again to commemorate him. Nostalgia has not decreased, but has increased tears.

Ka Kui Wong is not only the lead singer of BEYOND, but also the author of most songs and lyrics. His unique voice and extraordinary creative talent make him the soul of the band. His sudden death gave the whole band a legendary color, but also made the band lose its pillar. He was a symbol of the band when he was alive. After his death, no one can take his place. To this day, three other people in beyond Sons are called Sons.

In this concert commemorating the 20th anniversary of the band, the organizer carefully planned and designed a virtual Ka Kui Wong through high-tech means. Beyond's three sons and Ka Kui Wong's avatar performed on the same stage, and the four of them cooperated seamlessly. At the concert, we can also see that fans have been shouting Ka Kui Wong's name, the name of a person who has been dead for ten years.

A few days ago, in an online chat room, a netizen asked beyond's three sons a question: If you three are called beyond in the post-furniture era, do you like it? Huang replied: I don't like this title. Transcendence means transcendence. After Ka Kui left, we continued to do what we wanted to do, instead of giving up completely after he left, and we didn't change.

But it is undeniable that without beyond in Ka Kui Wong, it is difficult to surpass beyond when they are together. For beyond who is alive, the dead Ka Kui Wong is not only a huge halo, but also an insurmountable shadow.

Paul Wong wrote in an article: Basically, there is no transcendence without a colt. Ka kui is definitely the soul of the band, and now we are like three people without souls. Although I still feel that he is still with us and still gives us spiritual support, we are no longer the previous transcendence, so I will never blame others for saying that transcendence is not the previous transcendence, because I have the same idea myself. However, I will not be discouraged by this. Even though I know that I have to work ten times harder, I may not be as talented as Ka Kui, but I will try my best to surpass it.

Moderator: Actually, Paul Wong is great. Some people say he is the best guitarist in Asia. After Ka Kui Wong's death, he also wrote many classic songs, such as It's good to be alive, Paradise. But, forgive me for being extreme. Ka Kui Wong's death can be said that Paul Wong will never surpass Ka Kui Wong. Of course, I'm not sure whether Paul Wong has this idea of transcendence, but I still can't help feeling sorry. Sometimes nostalgia makes the dead more perfect.

Some people say that Ka Kui Wong's departure made beyond lose its vitality, while others say that beyond no longer exists after Ka Kui Wong's death. As a fan said, I have never been able to accept the idea of three people surpassing. In the eyes of some fans, the son of transcendence can't create his own glory, and Ka Kui Wong has become a mountain that three people can't surpass.

In 2000, beyond announced its temporary dissolution. Three years later, beyond was together again. Continue to sing old songs and new songs for fans. But beyond's glory is over.
