《人生原是一首辛歌》 All My Life I Shall Remember

Chen Gexin has written many popular and melodic songs. Rose, Rose, I Love You, Gong Xi Gong Xi, Shanghai Nights and many others have enjoyed overwhelming popularity in Chinese communities and greatly impacted the development of Chinese pop music. The songwriter has spent lifelong effort to create songs for the hardworking ordinary people; though life is bitter, bringing them hopes.

Brave many hardships, Through countless tests
Every heart is longing, For the joys of spring
--- Gong Xi Gong Xi

While his songs earn him the epithet "Immortal Songwriter", ironically, his own life is a sad song of a genius in a chaotic time. He had been imprisoned by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Chinese Resistance War against Japan; held in detention by the Chinese government after the war; and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was labeled a rightist and sent to "reform through labour"; suffering because of the songs he had composed.

Based on real-life events All My life I Shall Remember features popular artiste Jason Chan. Besides the live band, renowned pianist and performer Phoebus Chan will be playing Chen Gexin's everlasting tunes. The production team has spent four years for the collection of information for the play. They interviewed famous pianist and co-composer of violin concerto Butterfly Lovers Chen Gang, who is the Music Director of the play and will reconstruct the touching life of his late father Chen Gexin on the stage.
