This song comes from 1984' s Taiwan Province movie "The Last Night of Jin Daban" and is adapted from Mr. Bai Xianyong's "The Last Night of Jin Daban". The song won the Golden Horse Award for best movie theme song.
Starring Jin Daban, a popular dancer. I don't think anyone is more suitable for this role than her. Wai Yiu was the heroine appointed by Bai Xianyong. Her childhood family was poor, her life was difficult, and her youthful feelings were frustrated. She lives alone with her daughter. In addition, since she was a child, she went to karaoke bars to sell her father's costumes to ballroom singers to subsidize her family, and she had two years of singing experience in Taipei's big music scene, which made her feel different from other popular actresses in order to have a classic Golden Class.
This film is about the sadness, helplessness, ups and downs of mainlanders who came to Taiwan Province Province, represented by dancer Jin, in the 1930s and 1950s. Kim, who plays the role, struggled to sit in the big class all the way from Bailemen in Shanghai to the Paris evening show in Taipei. When she was young, she met a shy, kind and simple rich boy. The two young people had a good time, and finally Kim was separated by the man's parents because she was a dancer. Under the pressure of greedy and selfish mother and brother, desperate Kim returned to the ballroom.
Twenty years later, Kim had a sailor who loved her, but could not give her a stable life. After wandering for half a lifetime, she wanted to have a home and finally chose an old overseas Chinese in Singapore.
The story is simple, but it is particularly vivid because of the excellent actors. Although Kim is a leading dancer with more than 20 years' experience on the dance floor, she has never given up her desire for beautiful love. She is affectionate and righteous, and her heart is full of love and kindness. Finally, she gave a one-and-a-half-carat kerosene diamond to a young dancer who had the same experience as her. Thanks to Wai Yiu, I played Jin Daban vividly, which is no different from the characters I imagined after reading a book.
Both books and movies reveal a deep homesickness, which is not only homesickness for the native land, but also homesickness for all the beautiful people and things that have passed away.
