18th Aug 2012 (身體健康 – Dicky Cheung)

The song that I chose for today is “身體健康” by Dicky Cheung. From memory this song came out in 2003 in Hong Kong, when SARS was breaking out. This song did quite popular because of SARS because the title means “healthy”. The singer of the song, Dicky, is more famous for his TV drama. He started his career in a singing contest, however his songs weren't popular enough. So he end up acting in dramas and movie and got quite successful. These days he still sing, but usually in the form of the group “Big 4”, formed by Dicky Cheung, Edmond Leung,  Andy Hui and William So. The other 3 member is still very active in their singing career.

Like I have mentioned earlier about the title, this song is about keeping healthy. In this song, the protagonist found out that he is very sick (got cancer or something similar), he wishes that he could be healthy so that his wife don’t have to take care and look after him (so that he wouldn’t become the burden of his wife). This song brings us a message that we could have everything in the world, but if we aren’t healthy enough, we wouldn’t even have the chance to enjoy it. The lyrics are very toughing. I hope you will enjoy this song.
