To say that the best developed mainland singer in Hong Kong, the female singer is Faye Wong, and the male singer is Zhang Jingxuan. Faye Wong returned to Beijing 20 years ago and rarely set foot in Hong Kong's entertainment industry. However, Zhang Jingxuan is different. He is obviously from Guangzhou. Since he became popular in Hong Kong, he has integrated himself into the local community. In recent years, he has developed in Hong Kong with all his heart. It is hard to get a ticket for concerts.
Earlier, Zhang Jingxuan was a guest on the TVB interview program hosted by Li Zhishan. He talked about his new path of development in his early years, and inadvertently expressed dissatisfaction with his youth experience. Recalling the past years, he said: "I tried to throw a basket of peanuts at him in the disco of a small city in Guangdong Province when I received some performances from a brewer."
Although he worked hard when he was young, Zhang Jingxuan said that he also learned a lot. At that time, either he broke out completely and fought with the man who lost peanuts, or he swallowed his pride and showed his magnanimity. Zhang Jingxuan told the other party at that time, "I didn't receive the gift you sent, I will send you a song." The magnanimity of high EQ eased the awkward situation.
However, Zhang Jingxuan also revealed his dissatisfaction with his growth environment. As we all know, Zhang Jingxuan was born in Guangzhou in February 1981 and did not officially develop in Hong Kong until 2002. He told Li Zhishan: "To say a bad word, I also grew up in a place with complicated tastes."
Of course, objectively speaking, more than 20 years ago, Guangzhou's urban appearance, GDP and other economic indicators were inferior to those of Hong Kong, but Zhang Jingxuan had always lived in Dongshan District (now Yuexiu District) of Guangzhou when he was a child, and had always been the main urban area and the center of the city. It was a bit excessive to describe it as "three religions and nine elites" and "complicated goods".
Although Zhang Jingxuan has repeatedly advertised himself as a Cantonese in Hong Kong. In 2019, he also went back to Guangzhou to shoot TVB program Zhang Jingxuan and His Place of Origin, visited his alma mater at Dongshankou Peizheng Primary School, went to Liwan Fangcun to eat rice noodles, and took pictures in front of Guangzhou Tower. I thought he was in Hong Kong and his heart was in Guangzhou, but now he makes such a comment on Guangzhou, I really don't know what he is thinking.
Some people say that the evaluation of a person depends not on what he said, but on what he did. In recent years, Zhang Jingxuan has hardly developed in the mainland. In his early years, he occasionally returned to Guangzhou to eat rice noodles, drink morning tea, and visit his parents. Some people would think that he was very homesick in Guangzhou. But in fact, when he first developed in Hong Kong a decade ago, he advised his whole family to move to Hong Kong, but his father refused.
However, with his parents getting old, in 2023, under his many persuasions, his parents finally let go and agreed to live in Hong Kong, becoming a real "Hong Kong people". Zhang Jingxuan was also very happy about this. He was excited to tell the media that his wishes for many years had been achieved, and he was also happy to open a live broadcast to share this joy with fans.
In fact, Zhang Jingxuan's development in Hong Kong has not been smooth. When he visited a radio program in Hong Kong in his early years, he revealed that when he first arrived in Hong Kong more than 20 years ago, he was ridiculed for speaking with an accent. Others asked him, "Can you watch TV in Guangzhou? Is there a McDonald's in Guangzhou?"
In September 2011, the Yangcheng Evening News reported that Zhang Jingxuan was also discriminated against when taking a taxi in Hong Kong. At that time, the driver dis said, "Can't you survive in the mainland? So many people come to Hong Kong to grab jobs." He also quarreled with the taxi driver for this reason, which was very moral. For him, he was afraid of being discriminated against by Hong Kong people.
But now, Zhang Jingxuan himself has begun to talk about his birthplace, which is really sad. I hope he can sing well in the future and stop doing things that hurt fans.
