A melody slowly and slightly occurs with flows of thoughts when the memories for past time are aroused and past events recalled. It not only arose from the sense of hearing, but also a voice from the Heart.

It is the girl in jeans who ever leisurely and merrily sang the popular songs with a guitar on a stage that stages the tide of Chinese popular music and to b e renowned as the pioneer of popular music.
She was an influentialperson in 1980’s; however, her songs no tonly have been popular throughout 1980’s, but also remain to be sung by everybody with the time goes by, for the purpose of recalling & recalling the past timeand understan ding the timesn eve r experienced. On the night of May 17, 2012, eight shows themed by the Youth by five musician consisting
of Lao Lang, Cheng Fangyuan, Shuimunianhua, etc. were successfully staged in Xiaoke Theater, 798 Art Zone, Beijing. It was a little show staged in the small theater; and different from previous large theaters, the theater without a blazing stage and swung light sticks was characterized that it got closer to the bodies and hearts of the audience. The theme of the concert was “Sacrifice of Youth– The Youth is an Attitude” . Cheng Fengyuan’s songs aroused the memories of the Youth from lots of the audience, especially for those born in 1960’s and 1970’s who were filled with emotions. The dialogic show in the small theater had given out their voices from the hear ts, with their own songs heard by their youth. Xiao Ke s aid, “It is hoped that the Yout hand we can bemutually recognized.”
At that time, I f Miss Yo u Eve r yd ay sung by Cheng Fangyuan moved everybody presented. The audience cried their eyes out and were extremely touched. The lyric of the songis produced by Cheng Fangyuan for her mother, “I’ll no longer concern about you even it’s going to rain and blow tomorrow, with the calendar on the wall no longer turned over by anyone; You’ll no longer care for a date of return and destination of my trip; it’s not easy for you in your life, with sighs filled with your heart; whereas, it is lucky that I become an extension of your life; grievances and dusts throughout your life has faded away; when the smoke disperses, the eyes are full of enlightenment". The song is dedicated to her mother and relatives in the Heaven. Her sincere performance transferring her emotions to the audience struck a chord.
Cheng Fangyuan said, “In my opinion, it may be the power of music that a song is produced when nothing more can be said. Sometimes, I feel that music transcends the spoken word. I like such a show in this little theater. Its power is limitless and I hope to attend shows in little theaters as much as possible in the future so as to realize emotional exchanges with the audience by singing the songs of the Youth.”
Every song sung by Cheng Fangyuan on the stage all represents a lovely memory which not only belongs to her, but also composes a story of ever ybody except her. She has ever been the ed g i e s t singer withc harac ter i s t i ccharm and impressive music; what count the most is that she is the first person to bring musical plays to Chinese stages.
In that time, we had seldom listened to foreign popular music. Cheng Fangyuan’s favor for music contributed to her New York journey for the purpose of learning and absorbing foreign new popular elements. It was her first time to feel the charm of Broadway. She was af fected and shocked by it. Hence, she decided to be one of its members. To bring such a kind of plays into China and adapt into Chinese version for staging became a hot issue of the time.
I n 1998, Che ng Fang y u an stage d the mus ic play - The Sound of Music . For her, the play was a start but unique. When recalling that she had firstly sang The Sound of Music and DO RE ME on a stage more than a decade before, she still felt happy. She said, “It is very happy when I sweat on rehearsal venues; it’s also joyful when I look back the fatigue and hardship during that time, including organizing shows in other localities, making negotiations on sponsorship, financing and also acting as a leading role in…"enduringly staged in Broadway and can enjoy high reputation throughout the world do not lie in that it is high-brow or equipped with profound theories. The only reason is its prettiness, which consists of: charming melody, elegant dance, luxurious and vivid sets & props…The musical play, actually, is the most popular one with the most successful commercial o p e ratio n a m o ng a ll the p e r fo rming fo rm s a nd features on its attractiveness not lower than that of commercial film. Cheng Fangyuan had ever said,“I have watched musical plays in America for two years, including successful works on the stage of Broadway and experimental plays of f Broadway, and I felt excited. What I am dedicated to is to let domestic audience have oppor tunities to watch musical plays. After all, I had watched so much, I have understood how to do and how far I can go. I’m confident in it". Therefore, she returned to China with great zeal, decided to translate The Sound of Music into Chinese and then stage the play.dream of Cheng Fang y uan, will not be ende d. For each time when the play is stage d, she all that the play could be bet ter and bet ter interpreted.
The best way is to (with a guitar) sing a song which includes the content I want to express.
Cheng Fangyuan always likes photography which may display her current attitude of living. Just as her life journey that she may come across different roads in different times and appreciates different views, the works of photography may be different in different phrases and could be as wonderful and vivid as her life diary. The Album - A Sound Journey, an integration of her works of photography and music, is her perfect intepretation of life. Songs are demonstrating her emotions while photography works are por traying her at titudes of living. The integration of two artistic creations seems to help us to appreciate an artist’s film, but actually can be considered as “a musical play without plots” of Cheng Fangyuan, and it also diplays her zeal for music and pursuit of living to everybody.
