The New Coordinates of Hong Kong Pop Music
Eason Chan is regarded by many as one of the symbols of the new era of Hong Kong pop music, and he is also regarded by most as the successor of Jacky Cheung. Jacky Cheung is a Taishan figure in Hong Kong pop music. He is also another successful Hong Kong singer in Taiwan Province province after Jacky Cheung. In 2003, he became the second Hong Kong singer to win the Taiwan Golden Melody Award for "Best Mandarin Male Singer". However, Eason Chan made his debut in the middle and late 1990' s, just at the end of the peak of Hong Kong pop music, so many people think that the era he catered to was doomed to be an era that could not make him take off, and the previous generation of singers, such as Jacky Cheung, had already won too many honors, which made it difficult for the next generation of singers to surpass.
Love and gossip
At the beginning of her debut, she cooperated with Miriam Yeung, a rookie of the same period. From then on, she never had any gossip or new love affair until she fell in love with Xu Haoying, whom she had known for many years. She also gave birth to Eason Chan's daughter Chen Kangdi in 2004. Neither Chen nor Xu cared about the engagement, and within a few years they became boyfriend and girlfriend. Finally got married on March 23, 2006. In April 2002, Eason Chan, who promoted Mandarin CD in Taiwan Province, gave a campus show. At the end of the song, he went to the stage and tried to throw a hat at the fans. He accidentally broke the support frame of the speaker with one foot, causing the whole person to fall to the ground with a bang. According to Gan Jingjing, a spokesperson for Taiwan Province Record Company, Eason Chan was injured by hitting the inner thigh and important parts, and is currently being observed in the hospital. On the other hand, according to Taiwan Province media reports, Eason Chan was injured in his right testicle and was rushed to the hospital for repair surgery. He just finished filming MTV two days ago, and he also wanted to play the injured man, not only in a wheelchair, but also wearing a neck ring. He looked at nothing while hanging salt water, but he didn't expect it to come true. [Edit this paragraph] Star Journey entered the music world.
