Why is Zhuo Yiting's song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" so popular?

During this period, New Year songs have been played in major supermarkets, and various melodies of "Congratulations and Congratulations" are bombarding my ears in turn. The most frequent one is probably this song "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2005, the song was sung by Andy Lau, who was still a superstar at the time. , this song is more famous than people.

Over the years, fewer and fewer people know that this song was originally sung by Andy Lau. Just because, ten years ago, a sweet and delicate female voice sang a cover of this song. After that, everything played in supermarkets and stores was replaced by this version.

Indeed, compared to Andy Lau's bitter male voice singing "Give me a cup of love-free water", the sweetness of the female voice is more suitable for the New Year atmosphere.

This is probably why this little-known girl became famous after covering a New Year's song. In 2016, netizens counted the most played songs before and after the Chinese New Year. Her performance ranked in the top five. It occupied two seats. One is "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and the other is "The God of Wealth Comes to My Door".

This girl’s name is Zhuo Yiting. She was born in 1981 and is less than two years older than Tang Yan. When she sang a cover of Andy Lau’s song in 2006, it was already the fifth year of her comeback. Before that, she had released a total of 45 albums. Among them, the one with the highest sales volume broke the sales record in Southeast Asia that year, with sales in the millions.

People with musical mysophobia are not willing to talk about singers like Zhuo Yiting: most of the songs are covers, and they were popular in the mainland in the 1990s with their saliva songs. Compared with today's divine singers, they are even worse. Indeed, when Zhuo Yiting was at her most popular, she was dubbed the Queen of the Countryside and became famous in the streets and alleys by singing "Monkey Yiduo Yang Cunfa". These oral songs were especially popular with rural people, where the rural population accounted for 10% of the country's total population. In the seventies and above, conquering the countryside was close to conquering China.

It is said that at that time, the coverage of Zhuo Yiting's pictorial was comparable to the "Family Planning" propaganda slogan.

But Zhuo Yiting was not the Phoenix legend of that era. In the 1990s, her songs were also popular among the petty bourgeoisie.

“There was no KTV at that time, and the most bourgeois and classy way of entertainment for teenagers to middle-aged people was to go to dance halls to dance. Apart from the songs sung by Teresa Teng, the songs sung by Zhuo Yiting were the most played in the dance halls. , "Long Reliance", "Du Shiniang", "Moist Heart", etc. were all popular songs at the time."

The same name as her is Yang Yuying.

Both of them are both sweet singers and sweet people. They were both popular singers and popular goddesses back then. Fans still argue about their status back then.
