She leaped over the trees, over the lawn, over the endless river of time, toward the person she had loved since childhood, who might disappear in front of her eyes at any time, and hugged him in the golden light... I I finally realized that the long wait was actually just for this hug. ...

The doll in his mouth, the memory of my life
- I miss the eternal "Cantonese Jingle" Mr. Lin Baoquan


Text: Liang Xiaozhi



On January 2, 2015, Mr. Lin Baoquan left.


Whenever I remembered that I would never hear this voice again, tears would flow out of my eyes.


"STAND BY ME Doraemon", a 3D movie commemorating the 80th anniversary of Mr. Fujiko.F. Fujio's birth, will become the posthumous dubbing of Mr. Lin Baoquan, just as the promotional words of the film "Let's cry together. ." (いっしょにドラ嗎きしません)


Today, many people are like me, leaving sad tears for this voice that accompanies us to grow up.


If there is a kind of energy that travels through time and space in the universe, which is accumulated by the memory index of childhood, then Mr. Lin Baoquan's voice must belong to the medium that can make everyone in the Cantonese region travel through time and space and become children.


I have admired the dubbing of Cantonese cartoons throughout my childhood. Mr. Lin Baoquan also mentioned that he was silent on TV shows, but the character of Ding-Dang has become his representative. On the way to and from school, imitating the voices of different cartoons, one person talks to countless imaginary cartoon characters. If it wasn't for the company of these ghostly funny voices, it wouldn't have given birth to the reason I am today.


Around 1990, the big movie "Ghost Rock Under the Sea" was broadcast on TVB's Easter schedule. I definitely couldn't watch it if I was going to school. I asked my grandfather to help me record it with a video recorder, but my grandfather was old and didn't know how to operate a video recorder. The videotape time is precious, and it is necessary to manually operate the recording and pause between the feature film and the advertisement, but when my grandfather made an oolong, press the record when the commercial is playing, and press pause when the feature is playing. Look, I was sad and disappointed and then went into a rage. It wasn't like today, when animations were readily available at your fingertips. Back then, you would think that you missed it, and it would be difficult to have a chance to watch it again... A few years later, my grandfather passed away. A fragment of , because today, part of the dusty memory has become a vivid scene.


In the dubbing industry, dubbing actors like to call cartoon characters "dolls", and their daily job is to dub cartoons in the dubbing room (jokingly called "Yin (Yin) Room"), and do dubbing such a part Work may not necessarily lead to great wealth, but insisting on performing it with heart can affect the lives of countless people and leave a lot of good memories.


Text writers will use "I handwrite my mouth", and use words to present thoughts; voice actors, "I speak his heart", Qu Di's mouth will become a doll in our hearts, and he can turn his "mouth" into people's minds. This is a great success in life. Beyond the material value of money, it is also as priceless as our Cantonese.


Last year, I met Miss Zeng Peiyi, the voice of Moon Hare in "Sailor Moon". Because of my familiarity and respect for the voice actors, we also became good friends. When she was invited to Dongguan for the event, she knew that there were so many audiences in Guangdong, Mainland China, who loved Cantonese cartoon dubbing, and felt moved and warm. Because when the "voice room" life of the voice actors begins, what they face is not just a doll, but the live "characters" who accompany countless people to spend a good time in their lives.


Over the years, there have also been many voice actors who were once familiar with resignation (leave the industry). Among them, there are those who are despondent and discouraged, and some who seek better development, but Mr. Lin Baoquan has always been in this industry. , as his name, "preserving" this voice belonging to all Cantonese audiences, except for cartoons, dubbed TV series, and entertainment variety shows, he has always been professional in the front line.


Mr. Lin Baoquan's daughter, Lin Zhiyun, is also a dubbing actor. I watched an interview with wireless dubbing. She appeared on the scene, a very beautiful girl, and the role was Lazy. Seeing this interview, I felt very happy. It turns out that Mr. Lin Baoquan has Such a lovely daughter, who has inherited his career, feels very gratified.


Mr. Lin Baoquan joined the TVB dubbing group in 1971, dubbed Dingdong since 1982, transferred to the Asian TV dubbing group in 1992, and returned to the TVB TV dubbing group in 1994. Among the cartoon characters he has performed, Ding-Dong is one of the most well-known characters, and there are thousands of other characters from his mouth. "Dr. Panda, "Dragon Ball" Tianjin Rice...

I remember most in the 1990s when the three major families entered the ATV Golden Channel and re-emerged in Hong Kong and Taiwan. ATV's Mr. Lin Baoquan also refreshed the audience. He played King Shura in "Sky War", which can be said to be very effective. I can still recall many of his tone in the film to increase the fighting atmosphere. Back then, ATV was criticized by many uninformed audiences that the ATV dubbing team was shit. However, ATV's dubbing has always been strong since the days of Rei. But thinking that even ATV is facing liquidation today, our memories, our culture, and our Cantonese language are all facing external shocks that cannot be changed, I can't help but feel embarrassed. It has not yet been revealed whether ATV can be preserved. Already gone...

In Guangzhou these two days, I had a meeting with the Japanese national treasure-level voice actor Mr. Toru Furuya. There were many friends who loved "Mobile Suit" Amuro. Cheers, applause, games, all Everyone expects to feel this happiness in a shared memory. For me, who is a big fan of Cantonese cartoons, what I think more is that senior figures like Mr. Lin Baoquan should also accept our courtesy. Unfortunately, he has no chance to appear in front of us again.

Whether today's difference can be said to be never reunited, no one needs to define it, in the world of dead shadows and voices, in the reflection of light and glass, the trajectory of sound will span the length of time.


There is a movie called "The Time Traveler's Wife". As a time traveler's husband, he leaves the time and space he is in, and keeps going to the future and back to the past, appearing in the passages of time infinitely. When people think that he has left the world, but in fact he has reached the faraway distance waiting for us.


The way we meet depends on the feelings we preserve. At the end of Ding-Dong's other big movie "Adventure in the Devil's World", Nobita's magical world created by "what if the phone booth" was closed. Nobita asked, what will happen to those people and things I miss there, already Does it not exist? Dingling (Doramei) said, the place you miss will become a multiverse, which will exist in parallel with us...

Hearing this, Ding-dong and Nobita looked at the distant stars and laughed together.
