Leave work at six o'clock in the evening to change my clothes from the pharmaceutical factory
My wife was boiling porridge and I went for a couple of beers
And so lived for thirty years until the building collapsed
The darkness in the depths of the clouds overwhelms the landscape at the bottom of the heart
At the octagonal counter crazy people's mall
Buy a fake gun with a fake bill
Defended her life until the mansion collapsed
Night covered the North China Plain, and sorrow soaked her face
Hebei Normal University Affiliated Middle School Ping Pong boy turned his back on me
Silent gaze The classroom that cannot leave
Live in experience until the building collapses
Ten thousand horses that had run out of reins ran through his mind
Lived like this for 30 years until the building collapsed
2. "Song of Shijiazhuang" - Yang Hui, a native of Luquan District, Shijiazhuang
Why bother?
My hometown is in Shijiazhuang
Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province
Shijiazhuang's song of Shijiazhuang
Listen to me say to you little by little
N B is not blowing miles
Trains are not pushing miles
The stones on the deer mountain are not piles
Just burnt bread that is to take the lamb out and stuff it inside
Shijiazhuang is not big The history is not very long
He was the first to liberate all the capital cities of the country
Zhengding Great Buddha Temple Zhao County Zhao Zhou Bridge
The old man at the intersection of the big iron stove roasts yam
Hirayama Hot Springs Gaocheng Oil Refinery
Heping Road is a big slippery J B textile factory
3. Shijiazhuang, the hometown of rock and roll
In the past, many people remembered That Shijiazhuang was a small city in the north, where demolition and reconstruction constituted an indelible gray tone, and there were buildings full of dust and white porcelain pieces, and people were busy and seemed to have nothing to do. If each city has its own unique impression and typical image, then in recent years, for the majority of rock youth, the meaning of these three words shijiazhuang is extraordinary, and this city is known as Rock Home Town - the hometown of rock and roll. "Rock Home Town translates to Chinese meaning 'rock 'rock country', and there is actually a more Middle-earth translation: Shijiazhuang." This is a hot passage on the Internet. In fact, Shijiazhuang is indeed inextricably linked to the "land of rock and roll".
When Cui Jian, the first Chinese rocker, rose in Beijing, the wind of rock and roll quickly blew to Shijiazhuang. At the end of April 1998, Cui Jian released his sixth album "The Power of Incompetence" and held a large performance in Shijiazhuang. To a large extent, this brings up the most basic culture of Shijiazhuang city. Subsequently, rock bands and magazines thrived in the city.
Since the 1990s, Shijiazhuang has had many local bands and independent musicians, and has also produced Shijiazhuang's own music album "Shimen Beacon", when the atmosphere of the entire rock circle in Shijiazhuang was quite good, the performances were almost full, and many musicians would be musicians of several bands at the same time. There have been many well-known bands in the history of Shijiazhuang rock music, such as Fever, Democracy Band, Plasticine Band, Edible Corpse, Wangcai Band, Universal Youth Hostel, Relativity, Methane Band, Perspective Band, Mechanized Carbon, Doll Harvester, Bean Fly Band, Holy Cake Box, Z Complaint, Eyewitness, Devil Baby Band, Gum Bleeding Band and so on. Some of these bands continue to mix in shijiazhuang rock circles, some go to Beijing or other places to develop, and some gradually disband and disappear into people's sight.
From the first original rock music festival in Shijiazhuang in 2001 to 2014, Shijiazhuang has successfully held 12 local rock music festivals. These music festivals are basically organized by local musicians and friends, often the ticket price is not high, from the earliest dozen yuan to the later dozens of dollars, these music festivals usually do not have a commercial purpose for making money, mainly to give musicians a chance to communicate with each other and gather, but also for rock music fans to provide performances.
Finally, when it comes to the development of rock music in Shijiazhuang, it is necessary to mention the two most tenacious rock and roll magazines in China , "I Love Rock and Roll" and "Popular Songs".
