I revisited “Millennium Mambo” in the theater during the Dragon Boat Festival. Lin Qiang’s electronic soundtrack was so haunting that it lingered in my mind for days. On a weekend night when I’m alone, I listen to the soundtrack on my crooked sofa. In the rhythm of the fluttering wings of summer cicadas, I think about the young tropical nights. Who is not walking at night in brocade clothes, who doesn’t have the smell of Montblanc on his neck. In such a commotion of sound waves, go to the second floor or TeXound? Huang Yuxuan traveled through time and space in Wu Bai’s “Last Dance” and met the person she wanted to see. If music can really turn back time and want to return to the millennium, it can only be Lin Qiang’s “Millennium Mambo”.

(Or the following albums: Karen Mok’s “Cloudy”, Yang Naiwen’s “Still”, Su Huilun’s “Happy Hour”, Huang Yiling’s “Wordless Love”, Tuo Laku’s “I Love Summer”, Sammi Cheng’s “Out of Boundary”, Chen Jiannian’s “Ocean”. Oh my god, Elva Hsiao, Jingru Leung, Meiqi Jiang, Jianya Tanya, and Xiangting Hou all released their first albums in 1999. What kind of monster era is this?)

Please read on…

The rhythm of thump thump thump thump rhymes with the thump thump thump thump of the heartbeat, and the electronic music is like a spell, like hypnosis, over and over again. Kind people fly to the sky on the dance floor, close their eyes, and meet their younger self in the nightclub. You are trying to tell He, hey, on such a tropical night, you may meet a charming smile, an inviting look, a night of ecstasy, and you wake up in the same bed on Sunday morning, whether it is his or yours, maybe it is just an empty hug. And boring ejaculation, or maybe, the taste is not bad, you want to see what else will happen next, a date, a confession, being together, arguing, breaking up, getting back together… maybe it’s a date where you spent 5,000 yuan in three weeks Bad fate, or maybe the cost of five hundred thousand living together for three years, the best time.

“If that person happens to like to smoke Marlboro Lights, if he drinks Yakult in a row without removing the plastic film, and inserts a straw into a bottle like a pan flute to drink domineeringly, if he is a Pisces, please remember it, it will destroy your center It’s not MDMA that’s nerve-wracking, but the tenderness of Pisces.” You kept talking, it was just drunken talk, and you didn’t see the contempt and doubt in your young eyes. You said to yourself: “However, whether it is stepping forward to hug or turning around. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in love to the point of addiction or trying to quit. Anyway, you will end up watching Netflix alone at home on weekends. Oh, many years later, there will be a thing called streaming, and your TV will turn on. There is a whole Blockbuster movie list, there will be an endless supply of “Sex and the City”, Kelly finally married the big shot, but he died…ah, that is not important, what is important is when you have a thousand kinds choice, you feel bored and don’t want to watch TV anymore. You pour a glass of whiskey. At almost twelve o’clock, after repeating several rounds of “Millennium Mambo”, you find that there is no wave in your heart, and you finish peeling off without knowing it. A whole plate of garlic.”

When you were a teenager, you were covered in the smell of Montblanc perfume on weekends, but now your fingertips have the smell of garlic that cannot be washed away. You laugh at yourself that this is the uncle’s tropical night and age-related odor, and it is also the Saturday Night Fever that belongs to the concubine. “Do you know? My palace. There are a total of three hundred and twenty-six bricks in the building, but I have touched each one countless times, and thirty-one of them have small cracks. Otherwise, how would I have spent this long night? “I was about to explain to my younger self what a palace fight drama is, but I thought it was too troublesome. Young people are hard-of-hearing by nature. It was like grabbing his shoulders and shaking them desperately, forcing him to steal, rob, sell his kidneys, and buy TSMC. He also He couldn’t stand listening to it. He would know it after a long time anyway…

Whether you buy it or not buy it, time is too cunning and there is no parallel time and space to compare with. You never know whether the decision you make is right or wrong. Whether you love or not love, if you feel something in your heart, don’t pretend to be stupid, keep loving, it’s good to be young and grow old together, it doesn’t matter if you fall in love wrongly, it doesn’t matter if you are scarred, time is also gentle, last Saturday I felt that I couldn’t hold on anymore , every line of Lin Yilian’s lyrics can crush you to death. At this moment, facing a plate of strong and plump garlic, you think about getting up and frying garlic oil tomorrow.

As long as you have loved, sad past events are like garlic crumbs, they fall off once you pat them, and they will pass. ●
