pay tribute to the legend

When I know the song "LA VIA EN ROSE", I only know that its Chinese name is "Rose Life". I know that it is a French song, and of course there is an English version. I know that it often appears in love movies, especially hugging and kissing. When I knew that Lisa Ono sang this song...
After watching the movie "LA VIA EN ROSE", I knew that the original singer of this song was a stage name "PIAF" (a homonym of "Little Sparrow" in French ), the legendary singer, knew that her 48-year life had hardly been ordinary for a moment.
I am always curious about the singers of the vinyl era. It seems that the identities of singers and singers in that era have not really been separated, and the stage and life have not really been separated. The so-called story of life is like a play. This generation of singers seems to be an escape. Inescapable fate.
PIAF was abandoned by his mother as a child, lived in a brothel run by his grandmother, grew up in a wandering circus, sang on the streets for a living at the age of 10, and was discovered by Bole later... The legendary growth experience always seems to be similar.. .... In short, the era of a superstar began.
PIAF has been popular all the way from France to the United States. Even Hollywood superstar Marin Dietrich was moved to tears when she heard her singing. It was during this period that PIAF's paranoia, willfulness, alcoholism, morphine and the fight with boxers Desperate love is consuming her young life excessively.
For the legendary PIAF, there is no right or wrong. Without that paranoia and willfulness, she is not a PIAF; if she doesn't drink alcohol and inject morphine, she will find other outlets; there is no terrible love with a boxer. , there will be no way with other people, because she is PIAF.
This reminded me of Leslie Cheung when I was watching the film. When recalling Leslie Cheung, Chen Kaige said, "He told me that he is a legend." I think Chen Kaige must have understood Leslie Cheung. Cheng Dieyi on the stage and Leslie Cheung in the movie are actually The same way, because they are both legends, because they are born different fireworks, destined to be eye-catching, destined to not be ordinary, even death, can't "back to back, sit on the carpet, listen to music, chat desire".
This is an era of less and less legends. We can only pay tribute to PIAF, Chaplin, Mei Lanfang, and Leslie Cheung through movies, pay tribute to their legends, and pay tribute to those times that cannot be returned.
