Andy Lau thaws —— 刘德华解冻

Do you know that there is a particularly interesting meme in China called "Andy Lau Thaws". It originated from Andy Lau's song "Wish You a Prosperous New Year" sung in 2005. By 2025, it will be the 20th anniversary of the release of this song. Every time when the Spring Festival is approaching, this song becomes popular again and becomes a must-have choice for creating a festive atmosphere in supermarkets, streets and homes. These three places can be regarded as the "big three" during the festival.

This meme of "Andy Lau Thaws" is very interesting. This is also a new trend played by netizens recently, giving new meanings to old memes. Such a trend occurs almost every year. When the Spring Festival is approaching, Andy Lau's "Wish You a Prosperous New Year" will be played repeatedly in major shopping malls and public places. As the traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival, is approaching, this well-known song is jokingly called by netizens as "Andy Lau is thawing".

In fact, this meme is similar to the foreign "Mariah Carey Thaws". "Mariah Carey Thaws" means that every Christmas, the song "All I Want For Christmas is You" by American singer Mariah Carey is played on the streets and lanes, indicating that Christmas is coming.

Recently, some netizens have produced secondary creation videos of "Andy Lau Thaws" to play with the meme, making this meme an annual limited edition, meaning that this song "Wish You a Prosperous New Year" is about to "thaw" and the Spring Festival is coming.

That man - Andy Lau, is going to "thaw" soon. Before long, he will "appear" in major supermarkets. It is him who wishes everyone prosperity with this song every year. Basically, around the Spring Festival every year, you can hear this song when you go to the supermarket. But to be honest, after so many years, I #### still feel sorry for Andy Lau. He has been wishing me prosperity for so long. Unfortunately, my ability is limited and I haven't become rich yet.

Even so, every time I hear this song, the sense of substitution is super strong. I feel as if I am in the supermarket buying New Year goods, queuing up to weigh the loose gold coin chocolates and Sachima, and then I have to pick tangerines.

Regarding this, many friends said: As soon as Andy Lau's singing starts, I feel like I'm already standing in the loose goods area.

Although there is still some time before the Spring Festival, netizens can't wait for this song to "thaw". Here, I wish everyone prosperity in advance.

你知道吗，在中国有个特别有意思的梗，叫 “刘德华解冻”。它源自刘德华在 2005 年演唱的歌曲《恭喜发财》，到 2025 年这首歌刚好发行 20 周年了。每到春节临近的时候，这首歌就又火起来，成了超市、大街以及家里营造节日氛围的必备之选，这三个地方堪称节日期间的 “三巨头”。

这个 “刘德华解冻” 的梗可太有趣了，这也是近期网友们玩的新花样，把旧梗翻出新意，几乎每年都要来这么一轮。临近春节时，刘德华的这首《恭喜发财》会在各大商场和公共场所循环播放。随着中国传统节日春节日益临近，这首家喻户晓的歌被网友们打趣地称作 “刘德华正在解冻”。

实际上，这个梗和国外的 “牛姐解冻” 类似。“牛姐解冻” 说的是每逢圣诞节，美国歌手玛丽亚・凯莉（Mariah Carey）的《我想要的圣诞礼物就是你》（All I Want For Christmas is You）这首歌会在大街小巷播放，预示着圣诞节即将来临。

最近，还有网友制作了 “刘德华解冻” 的二次创作视频来玩梗，把这个梗做成一年一次限定款，意思就是这首《恭喜发财》马上要 “解冻” 了，春节也要到了。

那个男人 —— 刘德华，很快就要 “解冻” 啦，过不了多久他就要 “出没” 在各大超市了。就是他，每年都用这首歌祝大家发财。基本上每年春节前后，去超市的时候都能听到这首歌。不过说实话，这么多年了，我#### 还挺心疼刘德华的，他都祝了我这么久发财，可惜我能力有限，到现在也没能富起来。

即便如此，每次听到这首歌，那种代入感都超强，感觉自己仿佛正在超市里采购年货，排着队称散装金币巧克力和沙琪玛的重量，接着还要去挑砂糖橘。

对此，好多朋友都表示：刘德华的歌声一响起，我感觉自己已经站在散称区了。

虽然离春节还有一阵子，但网友们已经迫不及待等着这首歌 “解冻” 了。在此，也提前祝大家恭喜发财。
