鳥兒拚命的唱，花兒任性的開。

你們太痛快，太痛快呀，太痛快！

鳥兒為什麼唱？花兒為什麼開？

你們太奇怪，太奇怪呀，太奇怪！

什麼叫痛快？什麼叫奇怪？

什麼叫情？什麼叫愛？

鳥兒從此不許唱，花兒從此不開。

我不要這瘋狂的世界，這瘋狂的世界！

OMG!... I remember my mother humming this song to herself ~45 years ago. She's from Shanghai. Now everyone is either gone or old...

[adt0425]

to Lida15: you are a mean person.

[tantyhayoo]

@adt0425 (1 0f 2) Zhou Xuan is a very well respected singer and actress. From reading her history and interviews of her, we know that she was a hardworking, motivated, dedicated singer and actress. She made effort ensure her art is perfect. She made a significant contribution to cultural development of modern China, and brought joys and fun to billion of people (yes, literally billion) since 1930S.

[tantyhayoo]

lida 15: (1 of 2) We are very sad that you insult her. She has two living sons, one is living in Canada and with daughters and probably reading your notes. How do you like someone insulting your mother on the internet, especially when it is not deserving ? Zhou Xuan and her descendants deserve an apology. 

[lingtok]

God!!! amazing!!!!

[lida15]

it's a fun park for robots, like this ape!

[utahjai]

to Lida15 the song title is "Mad World". She acted like a deranged person that's why.

She actually was a very beautiful singer.

[iplayslow]

I remember my mother cried whenever she heard this song. They were friends and classmate in Shanghai.

@iplayslow did you ever ask your mother's how her emotion is associate with this song. I know this song came from a very emotional movies. You mother probably have seem it.

[iplayslow]

@tantyhayoo

No, When I was little, I had little bearing on emotion enough to know about crying as an important aspect of living.

豈能說是民國時期的靡靡之音 我見識到一代抒情女歌后的卓越表演天份

[alankayangan]

我会永远怀念她..........周璇.

[DeProducers]

You've got a good collection of Zhou Xuan videos. Thanks for sharing & keep posting.

金嗓子，名不虚传

[L3S3R4]

I read from an article that she was not really mad, only nervous breakdown. Can anyone tell me the real tragedy of her.

[florleow]

My mother told me Zhou Xuan went crazy due to pressure from showbiz and from her nasty pushy mother. I am not too sure but the older folks in our household used to say her mother's demands drove Ms Zhou to madness and suicide...so poor thing. FLOR from Singapore

[L3S3R4]

Thank you for your info. I didn't know that she died of suicide.

[florleow]

You are welcome! L3S3R4. It seems that movie stars in those days were weighted down by tons of public pressure. A no of them became depressed, took their lives...for eg. Ruan Lin Yu. To be a star is to be a public personality; I think the pressure is awfully great. Regards, FLor

[lannyshum]

From her son Mr Zhou Wei's address, he's been explaining to public so many times that her mother

was not mad and did not commit suicide.

[L3S3R4]

So, how did she die ?

[L3S3R4]

Thanks again.

[lannyshum]

1951年夏天，周璇在拍摄电影片《和平鸽》时，突发精神病，被­送入上海虹桥疗养院。1957年6月，周璇康复，即将出院。但在­7月19日，突发急性脑膜炎，经专家医治无效，於1957年9月­22日病逝。

[L3S3R4]

Thanks for your detailed info.

[tantyhayoo]

@L3S3R4 In engilish word "mad" could have two meanings, either "angry" or " mentally sick crazy". But in the original chinese word and this song and movies, it meant "crazy". In movies, she was mentally sick. In real live, Zhou Xuan was mentaly sick for the last 6 years of her life. A very undeseving outcome. Go watch this movies. If you can read Chinese, go read her history on internet.

[wyfcph]

It's sad that Zhou Xuan herself really ended up in mental hospital in her later days.

Both her acting & acting were excellent and she was a gift to the audience.

[chankath]

Thanks for sharing. I really love it. Though she started to look more complex on her face compared to 1930's movies. Please keep it here and don't take it down!

[kollan]

Thanks for posting, but I think it's 1943, not 1934.

[Lachrymae]

My goodness! "The World of Madness", the song title, and her desheveled looks, seem to echo some Shakespearian "mad scene". Right?

[edmame]

wow is this really '34? she looks way older than in Street Angels '37

[kindface]

Hahaha. As Kollan said, I think it should be 1943.

[Tenderness6]

Ha! Ha! Ha! I rather think it's from 1349. How about that?! Ha! Ha! Ha!
