\[Xiao Leng Recommendation~, Surely a Classic]\
\"Glorious Years\" is the second Mandarin album released by the legendary Hong Kong rock band BEYOND in 1991. Its title track, also called \"Glorious Years,\" is the flagship song of the album.\
\This song is a hymn to freedom, dedicated by Hong Kong rock singer Wong Ka Kui to Nelson Mandela, the spiritual leader of human rights for black people in South Africa.\
\Before Wong Ka Kui, no Chinese musician had ever written a work with such a global spirit. He transformed from a rebellious youth into a herald of the torch of freedom – what a profound change that was.\
\Freedom is the natural enemy of all despotism and totalitarianism. It is humanity's noble demand, both a spirit and an ideal. Those who pursue freedom may grow old, but the belief in freedom will never age. Every day for those who pursue freedom is a glorious year!\

Performed by: Beyond\
\The bell rings as a signal to return home\
In his life\
It seems a little melancholy\
The meaning of his black skin\
Is a lifetime of dedication, a struggle of color\
Time turns possession into loss\
Tired eyes still carry hope\
Today there is only the remaining shell\
Welcoming the glorious years\
Clinging to freedom through wind and rain\
A lifetime has gone through wandering and struggle\
Confidence can change the future\
Who else can do it?\
\Can we be free from the boundaries of skin color\
May this land\
Have no distinction between you and me, high or low\
The beauty of colorful hues\
Comes from the fact that it does not\
Separate each color\
Time turns possession into loss\
Tired eyes still carry hope\
Today there is only the remaining shell\
Welcoming the glorious years\
Clinging to freedom through wind and rain\
A lifetime has gone through wandering and struggle\
Confidence can change the future\
Who else can do it?\
\Today there is only the remaining shell\
Welcoming the glorious years\
Clinging to freedom through wind and rain\
A lifetime has gone through wandering and struggle\
Confidence can change the future\
Who else can do it?\
\Today there is only the remaining shell\
Welcoming the glorious years\
Clinging to freedom through wind and rain\
A lifetime has gone through wandering and struggle\
Confidence can change the future\
Who else can do it?\
\Today there is only the remaining shell\
Welcoming the glorious years\
Clinging to freedom through wind and rain\
A lifetime has gone through wandering and struggle\
Confidence can change the future
