He divided his songs into different genres. Chinese oldies have beautiful tunes and meaning lyrics that express every day love and emotions, unlike modern songs. To him, oldies are the calling of time 时间的呼唤, of nostalgia and that’s what made them so attractive. It was entertaining to watch the changing scene accompanied by Fei’s honey-soothed voice.įei’s songs were all oldies and he made no apologies about it. I must say, whoever who designed the backdrop graphic cinematic really did a good job. He walked onto the stage without fanfare in his grey suit and tie and immediately sang 綠島小夜曲. Graphic scenes of palm trees swaying in the backdrop created the mood for the song.

Touted as a Mother’s Day concert, it was indeed the case.įei started the concert quite punctually. This was obviously no ordinary concert, with tonkat and wheelchairs aplenty and the audience were mostly silver-haired. A young usher took an elderly lady’s arm and shone his torch in front for her, escorted her back to her seat when she returned from the restroom, while her son strolled ahead. His hunky silhouette contrasted with his stoop and fragile mother and this image made this man look especially attractive to me, even though I can’t see his face. I watched as a man in front led his mother to the toilet in the dark mid-way during the concert. Other than elderly couples and pairs of friends, there were many young people who had accompanied their mothers/fathers to the concert. The atmosphere last night was just heart-warming. I envision my companion and I watching another concert in a decade or so in that state. On our left was a pair of ladies with a mop of white hair. On my right was a couple in their sixties cuddling under the wife’s shawl. The audience last night was a different demography than one that I am used to.

I didn’t mind as even thought I had paid good money previously to watch concerts there, I ultimately always ended up watching the screen instead of seeing the performer. So watching the screen last night for free was good enough for me. We were seated right at the far end of the cavernous hall of Compass Ballroom at RWS. So last night was an ideal Mother’s Day gift for me. In my Coursera Course on Behavioural economics, I was taught that an ideal gift is one that takes away ‘the pain of paying’ for the recipient. A friend treated me to this Mother’s Day concert.
