Luo Dayou, the godfather of Chinese pop music, recently discussed the political situation and cultural subsidy policy on the radio program “Flying Saucer Breakfast” hosted by Tang Xianglong. He was very emotional and suddenly pointed his gun at his longtime friend and famous music critic Ma Shifang. Luo Dayou publicly questioned the other party’s political stance, and even joked that the other party changed his style “just to eat something”. And Ma Shifang was not to be outdone and responded.
Ma Shifang posted the lyrics of Luo Deyu’s 1984 classic song “Things I Can’t Understand” on social platforms: “If there are no colorful colors and only clear black and white, then there should not be such a thing… This is something I can’t understand.” He responded with his opponent’s masterpiece, and the high-level acidity attracted a lot of praise from netizens.
Ma Shifang also generously disclosed his current economic situation, impressively listing the three principles of “not seeking office, not fighting for power, and not relying on the political party for living.” He mocked himself by calling himself a “literary youth guiding uncle” who works part-time and sells his heart to make some profit. He used his short and fortunate life of self-reliance to directly refute the unfair charge of “being dependent on the Party for livelihood.”
Hit song king Lin Shengxiang, who has a close personal relationship with Ma Shifang, couldn’t help but express his support for his friend. “Ma Shifang was raped and bullied,” he wrote sadly. He supported his friend’s personality and professionalism and called on everyone to buy a book to support him.
