No one who lived in Shenzhen in the 1990s did not know about the Dajiale Stage (Everybody-happy Stage). When Dajiale Stage first appeared in 1986, it was just an open-air, half-concrete-half-sand stage. However, it immediately became the most popular place for migrant workers in Shenzhen.
One of the most interesting things about the stage is that, it is (almost) free to watch the performance, but you need to pay to step on the stage. This "self-recommended performance" model later became a popular culture across the country. It gave ordinary people with talent a pathway to their dreams. Throughout the 1990s, the Dajiale Stage was super popular and it was full of people every night. If you wanted to perform on stage, you might need to make an appointment a week in advance.
In the 2000s, as entertainment became more and more diverse, the popularity of the place slowly disappeared. In January 2012, the 26-year-old stage was demolished and rebuilt, becoming the current Youth Square.
1990年代在深圳生活的人，没有人不知道“大家乐舞台”。大家乐舞台在1986年首次出现时，只是个露天的半水泥半沙土的简陋舞台。可是，它立即成为深圳外来务工人员娱乐的圣地。
大家乐舞台最有趣的一点是，在台下观看表演（几乎）是免费的，但上台表演是要付费的。这种“自荐表演”的模式，日后成为一种风靡全国的广场文化。它给了那些有才艺的普通人一个通往梦想的通道。在整个90年代，大家乐舞台都是很火的。每晚，这里歌声不断，来观看的人群挤得水泄不通。如果想上台表演，往往需要提前一周预约。
到了2000年代，随着娱乐形式越来越多样，这里的人气慢慢地不复从前。2012年1月，有着26年历史的大家乐舞台被拆除重建，成为了现在的青年广场。
