Danny Chan(陈百强)...HK superstar in the 80s...The undisputed
depression king of Cantopop and maybe all time...He was an ultra
talented composer.He shot to fame in 1977,winning the HK Pop
Song Composition comp..He was really good on the ivories...
His works are needless to mention if u're a cantopop junkie..
But gradually he went into a depressed mood with the rise of
ppl like andy lau and aaron kwok..which was deemed untalented
and was juz famous for lookin gd...i think he really took pride
in his work..then he fell into the arms of alcoholism and later
amphetamines in the late 80s..then in May 1992 he was found
unconscious and stayed in coma for 17 months till his
parents decided to put him off the life support device which
kept him alive in Oct 1993...
ok heres footage of him juz b4 death...his very last public
performance..in Shanghai April 1992...

冷暖哪可休,回头多少个秋
寻遍了却偏失去,未盼却在手
我得到没有,没法解释得失错漏
刚刚听到望到便更改,不知哪里追究
一生何求?
常判决放弃与拥有
耗尽我这一生,触不到已跑开
一生何求?
迷惘里永远看不透
没料到我所失的,竟已是我的所有
一生何求?
曾妥协也试过苦斗
梦内每点缤纷,一消散哪可收
一生何求
谁计较赞美与诅咒
没料到我所失的,竟已是我的所有
the above in my own SInglish interpretation...
the changin seasons can neva be reversed..
searched all over,but neva realised it was always with me..
in the end i got nuthin,cud neva explain wad i've got n lost.
whats to ask for in life?
always deciding between letting go and staying still..
whats to ask for in life?
i can neva find an answer in my life...
whats to ask for in life?
i can neva walk out of my own fucked up world...
i neva tot tat i'll lost my everything one day..
whats to ask for in life?
yes,i've given up..but i did put in a fight too..
my dreams may be beautiful but its all gone when im awake..
whats to ask for in life?
does the compliments and cursings really matters tat much?
neva would i hav tot i'll lose everything...
i believe tis was the theme song to the 1989 TVB serial 义不容情.
its really ironic tat he sang the song and not learn from it...
sidenote...
Now Danny was good frens wif Leslie Cheung(张国荣) and HK
famous actor/host Paul Chung(钟保罗)..they were being labelled
as 三剑侠(3 musketeers)..in the end all 3 of them more or less
ended their own lifes...Paul was in an ass full of debt from
failed ventures into securities n property...and in 1989 he
jumped from his 26th floor Sha Tin condo..he was 30...few years
later Danny died...Then..Leslie in 2004 April 1st..jumped
from 24th floor of Mandarin oriental hotel in HK...Guess Paul n
Danny was lonely and wanted a reunion...RIP guys...
