The mechanical dance of the Spring Festival Gala in the 1980s

Are you talking about Tao Jin? Tao Jin's eternal angelic curly hair, leather outfit, slightly hoarse voice, very "cool" expression, and "handsome" dancing posture - this is the first time Tao Jin appeared 11 years ago

The impression left on me at the "Spring Festival Gala".

At that time, my family had just bought a color TV set and a video recorder - maybe because of this reason, I have a particularly deep memory of the 1989 "Tao Jin".

Everyone knows that in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were almost no idol stars in the mainland.

It was an era of Taiwan's "Little Tigers" and the "Four Kings of Hong Kong", and Tao Jin was an exception at that time.

At least, in my childhood heart, he was a "happy angel" full of energy, and he was the first to bring singing and dancing performances into my memory.

Today, I have long said goodbye to my childhood, and Tao Jin, the "Dancing King of the Generation", has also passed away three years ago.

I thought all memories of him would be over.

However, not long ago, when I passed by a bookstore in Beijing and accidentally saw the book "Tao Jin, My Beloved", I couldn't help but be moved.

I held it eagerly and read it all afternoon. It was a sunny afternoon, but I cried, for the premature death of the talent, for the unswerving love, and for the beauty in my memory.

Perhaps the things that have passed away are the most beautiful in memory.

I suddenly felt that I had never really forgotten Tao Jin, and as an audience, we had no reason to forget him!

In this book, I learned a lot of little-known stories: from an amateur dancer to a rock star; from giving up the iron job of a dance teacher to winning the filming of the film "Youth of Rock"; from persisting in performing during a serious illness to taking the lead for

Fundraising for poor cancer patients - Tao Jin is always so tenacious, persistent and sincere. No matter in front of or behind the scenes, in life or in death, he sings and dances for us with his heart!

That is a life worth awe and a beauty worth being proud of!

"Angel" - He will always be an angel!

This is how I, a "little" audience member of Tao Jin, will forever remember him!

Magpie Counting this year, Tao Jin should be 43.

Tao Jin, formerly known as Tao Jingsan, was originally from Xinle City, Hebei Province. He was born in Nanjing on March 8, 1961. In 1980, Beijing Dance Academy enrolled its first undergraduate class. Tao Jin was admitted as the only undergraduate student in the school with outstanding results.

A student majoring in Chinese classical dance education who graduated from a non-professional school.

After graduation, he was assigned as a teacher in the Dance Department of the People's Liberation Army Art Academy with excellent results.

Won the "Gold Cup Award" in the first Beijing "Disco" Dance Competition.

In the British Royal International Standard Dance Examination, together with his wife Zhao Liping, he won the silver medal in international standard dance, Latin dance and the teacher's honorary certificate.

Tao Jin has been involved in the film and television industry since 1988, and has acted as the leading actor in five film and television films. Among them, the film "Rock Youth" in which he choreographed and acted as the leading actor has received great response across the country, especially among young people.

Tao Jin died of cancer on August 25, 1997, at the age of 36.

——Life, memory and time are all very unstable things.

If time passes too long, the memory will be lost.

Who remembers the "bad" students who led a rock whirlwind in the 1980s and 1990s and created the art of modern dance in China? Who knew that the cowboy youths of their generation could help people get haircuts and go home every night?

Spend time with your beloved wife.

Should the dancing posture and rock and roll spirit trace their origins from him?

I saw Zhang Ping on TV last night. He was already a middle-aged man.

If he were still here, would he be like Zhang Ping, a cowboy young man now wearing a suit, exchanging his aggressive energy for the peace of being a teacher? Or he would still shine brightly on the stage, continue to lead the dance, and explore innovations in dance.

Art.

The distance of 7 years is enough to forget someone.

But rock and roll has no memory, only today.

Prince of Thunder - Tao Jin People who lived through the 1980s may still remember the movie "Young Rock", in which Tao Jin was a professional dancer.

In the film, his passionate and wild dance left a deep impression on the audience... Overnight, Tao Jin became an idol in the hearts of young people of that era. The media at the time called him the "Prince of Thunder".

Zhang Ping is a good friend of Tao Jin. In 1984, Tao Jin and Zhang Ping were both outstanding students majoring in folk dance in the third year of the Beijing Dance Academy. They were appointed by the school and the Ministry of Culture to represent China in Hong Kong to attend international dance academies.

Dance festival to compete.

At that time, they danced folk dances.

However, neither Tao Jin nor Zhang Ping expected that this trip to Hong Kong would completely change the trajectory of their lives.

Nowadays, Zhang Ping, who is now middle-aged, still remembers the situation back then: “I remember there were a few of us at that time, including Gao Gao, Tao Jin, Shen Jinmin and me.
