Every Everlasting Song
Brings Hopes in the Age of Perplexity
Chen Gexin has written many popular and melodic songs. Rose, Rose, I Love You, Gong Xi Gong Xi, Shanghai Nights and many others have enjoyed overwhelming popularity in Chinese communities and greatly impacted the development of Chinese pop music. The songwriter has spent lifelong effort to create songs for the hardworking ordinary people; though life is bitter, bringing them hopes.
Brave many hardships, Through countless tests
Every heart is longing, For the joys of spring
— Gong Xi Gong Xi
While his songs earn him the epithet “Immortal Songwriter”, ironically, his own life is a sad song of a genius in a chaotic time. He had been imprisoned by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Chinese Resistance War against Japan; held in detention by the Chinese government after the war; and after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he was labeled a rightist and sent to “reform through labour”; suffering because of the songs he had composed.
