The night before yesterday, I witnessed an unforgettable scene of Chinese rock music.
Two fifty-year-old men sang on the stage, although the cooperation was not brilliant, and there were "car accidents" in some places.
But this was enough to make the nearly 20,000 spectators in the audience burst into tears, crying and shouting "bullshit"!
Yes, I am talking about Zheng Jun's 2017 concert, and the man who accompanied him to the end was Gao Qi.
Roll Jun clearly remembers the picture of the two working together:
Zheng Jun put on the shoulder of the high flag, accompanied by a gentle melody, and the two people sang John Lennon's classic "Imagine".
Singing to the last sentence, Gao Qi slightly forgot the words, or Zheng Jun put his arms around him and sang the whole song together.
The two waved to the audience, and the audience cheered, but it always felt a little unfinished.
At this moment, the guitar rhythm became more and more brisk, the painting style turned, and the familiar melody sounded on the stage.
“All You Need Is Love！” Some familiar fans blurted it out, and this is another masterpiece of the Beatles.
With the rhythm, the two people on the stage played more and more crazy, and Gao Qi shook his head on the stage, completely disregarding the image of the male god.
And Zheng Jun sang and danced, sweeping away the look of deep affection when he sang a song.
They treated the concert as a private gathering for the two brothers, singing the songs they wanted to sing, songs that only they understood.
After the cooperation was completed, Gao Qi glanced at Zheng Jun next to him and smiled.
They all fulfilled their wishes, and so did the fans.
They embraced each other affectionately, as before...
They are two of the most handsome men in Chinese rock circles, and they have been often compared together over the years, and there are even rumors on the Internet that they have a bad relationship.
But those who know them will never believe this rumor, because their friendship, which has been indestructible since 11 years ago!
August 26, 11 years ago, was an unforgettable day for Gaoqi.
His concert with the Overload Band that night was crowded, but near the opening, he found that guitarist Lee Yanliang was ill and could not be present.
He was so anxious on stage that he had to come out and apologize to the audience, and the original performance plan was almost impossible to go as usual.
But a miracle happened.
There were a lot of rock friends who came to the scene that night, and when they learned the news, they were obligated to stand up.
"The old man's business is our business, and tonight we will definitely help him hold the field down!"
And the most active of these is Zheng Jun...
That night, Zheng Jun appeared with exaggerated white-rimmed sunglasses, and he did not hurry to start singing, but said to the following audience:
"Lao Gao is one of the few people in this circle who is so good that I am willing to draw my sword to help at any time."
"Don't go to the things that should be made less than a penny, and don't have to go to the things that should be helped!" This is his principle.
As soon as the words fell, the music exploded, and Zheng Jun, who still had long hair at that time, jumped wildly on the stage.
After a song, Zheng Jun lit a cigarette, and while smoking, he said to the audience: I don't usually smoke much, but today I have to smoke this cigarette, because this is the only reward that Gao Qi gave me today!
Then Zheng Jun sang two more songs, and the last song, "Naked", pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Someone in the audience shouted, old Zheng Tuo! Zheng Jun smiled and said, Let the old Gao Take off today!
At this time, Gao Qi returned to the stage, laughing and scolding Lao Zheng: Why don't you smoke all the cigarettes I gave you and leave me a mouthful? Then the two came to an affectionate hug.
That hug has also become a classic in the hearts of countless music fans. Since then, the cooperation between the two has become the biggest wish in the hearts of countless music fans.
But as time went on, fans saw fewer and fewer people sharing the stage.
Zheng Jun makes movies, starts a business, becomes a mentor, even if he occasionally appears at music festivals, and then sings those familiar melodies no longer has the sharp edge of the past.
Gao Qi's new album was delayed again and again, and he was unable to meet the fans, and the corners of his eyes began to wrinkle, and young fans did not even hear his name.
Many hardcore music fans will inevitably think: that classic scene will probably never be repeated again...
It wasn't until tonight that I realized that these worries were superfluous.
People will grow old, they will change, and maybe we will grow up and scream, but remember that the traces of rock and roll in our youth are real.
And it will always exist!
Coming out of the concert, some very young audience members will mutter, "Where zheng jun's pronunciation is not accurate", "Where is the high flag and where it is not sung", "How did this song have a car accident"...
But people who have experienced that crazy youth can feel the preciousness of this scene.
When two people stand on the stage and start singing, you can't help but cry and shout: Bastard, this TM is youth!
Feelings may not be eaten as a meal, nor can they prove anything, but at least they can surprise us and go crazy until we burst into tears.
After last night, Roll Jun had a new wish.
I hope that ten years later, these two old guys who can't beat the beat can still share the same stage and accompany us fiercely!
