For me, the trilogy is not only a concentrated presentation of the party, the people and the times, but also an important opportunity to show the characteristics of personal music creation. ”
The "Memory of the Times" album released this time contains a total of three works, all written by Wang Zhiming, and joined by famous musician Cui Zhenhe, music producer Wang Shixin, singer Li Siyin and Ning Ke.

Lyrics are used to express the changes of the times

The lyrics of the collected works adopt the writing style of traditional Chinese folk songs, which are simple and profound. "Grandpa drove a ox cart, potholes and bumps... Dad was riding a bicycle, winding and bumpy... We are driving a car, flat and flat, wide and wide..." "Three Generations of Cars" shows the development of the times and the continuous improvement of people's living standards by describing the changes in the means of transportation of grandparents, fathers and their own three generations.
The song "Stove of Time" focuses on the kitchen stove that people use every day, reflecting the improvement of people's quality of life by showing the historical evolution of the stove and fuel of the three generations of ancestors, fathers and grandchildren, as well as the change of staple food; the song "Three Generations of House" cleverly reflects the living conditions of three generations by outlining the changes in the house.
Wang Zhiming has more than ten years of grassroots literary and artistic work experience. His creations mostly start from life and people, his works keep up with the beat of the times, and his words are directly rooted in people's hearts, and each capital is worth listening to carefully and appreciating repeatedly.
