陈淑桦职业滑坡 | 柔弱女子 Sarah Chen | Strong Woman 1988 (职业评述; English lyrics) Mandopop Historical Mistake

(Lyrics in CC). 【综述】陈淑桦职业叙述滑坡的开端。《柔弱女子》起错了标题，事实上她唱的是坚强女人。在此之前，有关陈淑桦的叙述集中在她自己身上，但在此之后，叙述的中心转向了词曲作者和制作人。她从自立奋斗的敬业音乐家变成被转型并勉励完成他人梦想的好嗓子。男性主导对陈淑桦的职业，声誉，和人格叙述带来长久的伤害，是华语流行音乐史上的历史性的错误。
[Summary] "Tender Lady" is the start of the decline in Sarah Chen's career narrative. Prior to this, narratives about Sarah Chen focused on herself, but afterward, the focus shifted to the songwriters and producers. Whereas she used to be an independent and dedicated musician, from this point on, she became a good voice that underwent a transformation and who, though somewhat unwilling, fulfilled others' dreams. Male dominance surrounding Sarah Chen's career narrative caused long-lasting damage to her career, reputation, and character, representing a historical mistake in Mandopop history.

《柔弱女子》是陈淑桦1988年专辑《女人心》中一首较不为人知的歌，是她加盟滚石后的第二张国语专辑。在这首歌中，女人拒绝为了满足男人的自尊而在他离开后哭泣或伤心。
《女人心》常被认为是陈淑桦在华语流行音乐界崛起的开端，专辑展现了都市女性的独立和知性。 但回头来看，这张专辑也许标志着陈淑桦独立职业生涯的终结。在此之前，有关陈淑桦的叙述集中在她自己身上，但在此之后，叙述的中心转向了词曲作者和制作人。陈淑桦的独立自主被削弱。
陈淑桦职业叙述的滑坡就是在她那个时代也不寻常。其他歌手如苏芮、齐豫和孟庭苇都因好作品而受到赞誉；没有广泛关于别人捧红她们事业的叙述。
无论是什么原因导致了陈淑桦的特殊经历，陈淑桦逐渐失去了对职业叙述的控制权。尽管她地位已经很高，但在她和制作人之间出现了明显的权力差距；她地位的削弱在2003年的纪录片《给淑桦的一封信》中尤为明显。她退役三十年后，网上对她职业和人格的扭曲令人难以置信。
柔弱女子还是坚强女人，不由她说了算。这是一场不公平的游戏。
The beginning of Sarah Chen's career derailment. The literal translation of this song is "Weak Woman" or "Tender Lady," but she really meant "Strong Woman" in the song. So here we go: It is a lesser-known song from Sarah Chen's 1988 album "Heart of a Woman," her second Mandarin album jointly labeled by EMI and Rock Records. In the song, the woman refuses to cry or be sad to satisfy the man's ego after he leaves her.
"Heart of a Woman" was often described as the beginning of Sarah Chen's rise to dominance in the Mandopop scene, with songs that portrayed the independence and sensibility of empowered urban women. In hindsight, this album may also have marked the end of Chen's independent career. Before this period, narratives about Chen focused on her, but afterward, they centered on the songwriters and producers. Chen's independence and autonomy were diminished.
The deterioration of Chen's career narrative was unusual even for her era. Other singers like Julie Sue, Chyi Yu, and Meng Ting-Wei received credit for their best work; there were no competing narratives about someone else boosting their careers.
Whatever the causes of Sarah Chen's unusual experience, after this album, Chen gradually lost control. Despite her established status, a striking power differential emerged between her and the men she collaborated with; their dominance was evident in the 2003 documentary "A Letter to Sarah."
Weak lady or strong woman, it's not up to her. The game is rigged.

Thank you for your loyalty. There's no better endorsement of a singer's work than from a fan, especially since Sarah Chen has been inactive for nearly 30 years. While we don't have many songs to cover after the initial blitz, our featured podcasts contain five collections of her nearly complete works, sourced from other channels. Please enjoy them. To quote Sarah, "wish you happiness every day" (Chen, 1985) and "bless you" (Chen, 2003).
