Singer Huang Pinyin released a new work today (18) after a year-long hiatus, stirring up memories of his champion song “Xiao Wei” from 20 years ago among fans. Interestingly, within just one year, Huang Pinyin transitioned from being a golden bachelor to a married man. He joyfully announced that this new song was a collaboration with his beloved wife, Alina.
In the music video for “Goodbye Xiao Wei,” Alina showcases her delicate hands by playing a portion on the classical piano.
Huang Pinyin analyzed the meaning of “Goodbye Xiao Wei,” stating that it holds two significances: bidding farewell to the Xiao Wei in one’s heart and simply saying “goodbye”.
He also revealed that the inspiration for this song came from his new wife – Alina, a Russian music doctor and classical pianist.
The lyrics depict Huang Pinyin’s rare international love story, from the initial improbability of their acquaintance to mustering the courage to embrace this impossible task. He expressed that magical fate often comes with challenging trials. Abandoning it would result in a mere passing separation.
Setting aside doubts, Huang Pinyin grasped the courage fueled by love, cherished this precious happiness, and endeavored to make it work. Finally, on March 8, 2024, he and Alina held their wedding in Beijing.
Speaking of “Goodbye Xiao Wei,” Huang Pinyin chuckled, “The melody came to me quickly, inspired by my wife and teacher Alina. The song practically wrote itself, taking just a day to complete.”
The lyrics primarily narrate their international love story, from impossibility to possibility and reclaiming the courage to love. However, Huang Pinyin found a couple of lines that didn’t fit well, causing a three-month writer’s block. The solution came by confirming the song title first, leading him back to “Xiao Wei” from 22 years ago, a widely popular song then, resonating with every man’s ideal “Xiao Wei.”
This metaphor reflected his encounter with Alina – as if rediscovering Xiao Wei, imbuing a sense of destined Xiao Wei for the past 20 years, upgraded to a new level.
Through the new song, Huang Pinyin’s joy and appreciation for love are evident. He shared that this was actually their second collaboration; the first being on Alina’s debut solo album “Romance Of Moment,” featuring Chopin’s piano compositions. He produced, recorded, and even oversaw the mixing process with Alina. Playfully, he said, “After finishing the mix, ‘marriage’ arrived!”
Huang Pinyin also shared that at their wedding, they performed together, hinting at possible joint performances in the future. “Alina’s classical concerts might feature Huang Pinyin as a guest, and Huang Pinyin’s pop concerts could have Alina as a guest. I am super excited for it!”
