How skinny can the tree be?
He, like Faye Wong,
He's going his own way,
It's still hard to hate.
Eight hundred years ago, the last variety show, the crowd of stars arched between the moon, but found Park Shu nest in the corner with a sad face, asked him what was wrong, he grabbed the corner of his clothes and said with embarrassment: "At the end of the day, I should go home and sleep..."
In 2018,"Crossover Singer King", the host asked: Why do you want to come to the show?
A: Because of the lack of money.
The host refused to give up, and asked: "Year of Innocence" This song, what kind of mood is it trying to express?
A: Hmmm... Forgot.
He and his daughter-in-law Wu Minfei participated in the show, and Xiao Wu asked with affection: "Husband, if one day I die before you, what will I do?" Park Shu put her arms around her and said, "It's okay, I'll live well." ”
For so many years, Mr. Park has not been surprisingly deadly, and his speaking style is simple and rude - he can speak one word, and will never say two words of nonsense.
He was a middle-aged man who interviewed the mudslide and gave the host a headache. But it is such a maverick, old man who has never entered the world, but has always been treated tenderly by this world, allowing him to be tied up in his own world, lonely like a poet, and free like a child.
What is so special about The Park Tree, who is on the edge of the world but favored by the world?
01. Melancholy teenager
Pu Shu, formerly known as Pu Shu.
In 1977, at the age of four, he moved with his family from Nanjing to the Beijing compound.
At that time, he had only one impression of Beijingers - skin!
A few half-sized children often make grimaces at him, or sneak his pants, the introverted Park Shu at first still shyly covered his legs, and then the face became thicker and thicker, taking the old words of adults, this child is a typical Tao!
This experience has given his character quite a prototype - both the quietness of the southerners and the poverty of the Beijingers, the slender nerves, and the incomprehensible style of a straight man.
Park Dad is a professor at Peking University, but also a physical scientist, it can be said that Park mistakenly hit and was born in a typical male family of science and engineering. As a physical failure at a young age, he was in an awkward position comparable to that of a female petite who had mistakenly entered the men's bathhouse, and was miserable under the day and night spurs of his old father.
He also has an older brother named Pushi. Brother Shi has loved to listen to songs since he was a child, domestic love songs and foreign rocks, caught what to listen to, and later simply ran away from home to become a wandering singer.
At that time, Park Shu was still young, and in the faint sobs of his parents, his fingers numbly unlocked one complex mathematical problem after another. Because of his brother's run away from home, his parents poured more hope into him, and the complicated schoolwork often made his scalp tingle.
Occasionally looking up at the stars in the middle of the night, thinking about the beautiful music on his brother's radio, all his motivation to learn is for his parents, and his father promised, and he gave him a plate of Elvis cassettes after the first place.
At that time, the way out for the children of high-ranking cadres in Beijing was invariably: Peking University Affiliated Elementary School, Peking University Affiliated Middle School, Peking University, studying abroad, marrying wives and having children. However, many years later, he only achieved the last one, and only half of it, only married a wife, but he did not plan to leave a son and a half daughter.
Well, the time first goes back to the year of Park Shu's "Little Ascension", his results at that time simply made the whole family crazy...
Why the madness? The score line of Peking University Affiliated Middle School is 173.5, and Xiao Pu took the test of 173, which is a difference of 0.5 points!
To say that the regrets in this world are nothing more than a step of happiness, a ring of slam, a simple step, but ruined thousands of miles, the organ of fate is exhausted, probably nothing more than that.
Of course, Lao Pu couldn't swallow this breath, how could his Peking University professor's son not be admitted to Peking University Affiliated High School? He didn't believe it! Dry mouth ran away for a month, begging Grandpa to tell Grandma, and finally still couldn't get enough of fate's big thick legs.
Old Pu leaned back on the couch and sighed continuously, the matter was over, and he had to admit that there were also things that he could not do as a professor. This man's powerlessness never stemmed from his career, but from his two sons.
And that Park Tree is not happy, there is only one voice in his head - I did not get in, my parents can not be a person!
He thought of himself as a complete loser, and after that, his heart was covered with ashes and he became sick.
Pu's mother, who noticed her son's abnormality, took him to see a psychologist and came up with the diagnosis: adolescent depression.
The already silent teenager became more silent, muttering expressionlessly all day long, seemingly getting closer and closer to the brink of collapse...
02. The madman is on the left, the genius is on the right
Why do people go crazy? So far, psychologists have also put a question mark on their faces.
They believe that in addition to heredity, there is probably no suitable outlet for catharsis and a reasonable worldview.
Fortunately, more than twenty years ago, Park Shu found a cathartic way for him - playing music.
Due to illness, he took a year off from school, and his parents did not dare to blow their beards and stare at their sons, and then he spent the whole high school in a muddy nightmare, as if he had a big dream in the spring and autumn and mixed with the days of the college entrance examination.
Lacking desire for life, he has no ambitions for the future life, except for music, every step he takes is to give back to his parents.
A few months before the exam, he suddenly went crazy and nibbled on books, fought a review war, and was finally successfully admitted to the English Department of Capital Normal University.
In fact, he has a little nine-nine of his own: Pu Dad said before, go to college! Admission to college will make you grow your hair long and play rock'n' roll! I told you college was fun!
Pu Dad coaxed his son's words, and he really listened to them.
But when it comes to college, the truth is far away.....
He often treated him as a bad boy with long hair without trimming, carrying a broken guitar all day, and was once mistaken for a homeless man whose family was lost, and was directly led to the police station.
This is probably the first time in the life of the little white rabbit Park Shu who has been deceived, and this liar is still his father. Feeling that his IQ was hammered by a hundred points, he resisted for the first time - dropping out of school!
The world of The Park Tree is simple, like or dislike, accept or reject, do or don't do. He is one of the few adults who dare to think and dare to do it, and obey the inner world.
Pu Dad felt that his son was just throwing a tantrum, and the relationship kept a school registration for him for a year, and he didn't think that this boy was playing really this time!
Breaking free from the shackles of school, it seems that all pressures are shaken off in an instant, and all inspiration bursts out.
During this idle cloud and wild crane-like comfortable days, he often swung a tall man, carrying a guitar and running alone to the small river to play and sing to himself, and those flowing thoughts became jumping notes under the tip of his pen, flowing along the corner of the young man's melancholy lips to the rivers and rivers.
At this moment, he is one with the music.
Not long after the unencumbered days, Pu Ma gently reminded him: "Son, do you want to go to the plate to earn some money?" ”
Only then did he realize that he was already an adult and should have earned money to support himself.
In fact, Park Shu's touch to this world is hindsight, even a little dull, he is more like a snail that perceives the world with its tentacles, although it is slow to move and lag behind his companions, but as long as he makes up his mind, he will carry his own weight and walk in his own time zone without slowing down.
At this time, a friend asked him, you can write songs so well, why don't you sell songs?
Just at this time, a classmate recommended Gao Xiaosong, who was white and thin and beautiful at that time, and produced a few songs to taste the good taste of people's red for the first time, carrying the big brother and scalding the small curly hair, walking through the streets in the Beijing hutongs.
One lazy noon one day, Xiao Gao had just finished eating and was flossing his teeth when suddenly a phone call came. As soon as I picked it up, the other end of the phone was stuttering, a little stuttering but not nonsense—
"Me me..... I want to sell songs. Park Shu on the other end of the phone used his strength to suckle and finally suppressed this sentence.
03. Run away for half a life, and return to be a teenager
On a sweltering summer day in 1996, when he was young, he held a broken guitar and sang a song written on a whim, and across from him sat Gao Xiaosong and Song Ke, the boss of the wheat field.
The song had taken him ten minutes to write the other day, when he was sitting alone by the river, accompanied only by a few bright red flowers around him, and he was touched by the exuberant vitality, so he wrote the demo of the song, "Those Flowers".
The heat of Beijing is unbearable, the big sun shines on him fiercely, the piano is melodious, simple and simple lyrics, the voice line is almost undulating, like a wandering dandelion, little by little falling in the depths of the pedestrian's heart.
Gao Xiaosong was so hot that he had been sweating, he wanted to listen quickly to go out, song Ke next to him had also been wiping his eyes, he fixed his eyes on it, and found that Song Ke was actually crying.....
As good buddies, the two of them couldn't get acquainted anymore, and Old Gao had never seen Song Ke cry.
"I said big man don't make this disgusting man, what's wrong with you?" Old Gao is a little numb, he will only coax women.
Song Ke cried bitterly and only muttered, "Sing this boy, I want it!" ”
The next day, he signed a contract for Wheat Field Music, Song Keru won the most precious treasure, but Lao Gao looked at the two words "Pu Shu" on the contract and thought about it.
He wondered if this boy was so talented, in case of fire in the future, the name was too wasteful when fans lined up to sign, so it was better to change it to Park Shu!
In 1996, as a newcomer, his first single "Train to Winter" came out, but it was only Wheatfield's warm-up packaging for him, and the first album "I Went to 2000" three years later really made him a big hit.
The album broke through 300,000 copies that year, and Park Shu became the dark horse of the newcomer of the year, and the album 'Those Flowers' and "Birch Forest" have been at the top of the hot song charts in those two years.
It seems that in an instant, the ordinary young Park Shu went from obscurity to flowers, as if he had suddenly been fished out of warm water into a hot pot, although he was held by the stars and had spare money in his hands, he once again felt the involuntary feeling of his youth, and a more indescribable sense of loneliness.
From beginning to end, he just wanted to write songs, sell songs, and live simply.
Unable to regulate for a while, he fell into a whirlpool of depression, insomnia all night, and had to rely on drugs to maintain energy.
In 2000, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala wanted to find a "special" young man to sing first, and they looked at the low-key Park Shu.
As soon as he wanted to refuse, he was stifled back by a sentence: "How many people squeeze their scalps and want to go up, that means you will be seen by hundreds of millions of people at the same time!" ”
In fact, Park Shu did not want to be seen at all, quiet was his only pursuit, and when there were more people, he would panic! But his arm was still unable to reach his thigh, and finally he went.
So that year's Spring Festival Gala, the national audience saw a tall, thin young man, standing on the stage with an indifferent look, singing a song with a solemn expression, which was incompatible with the strong and festive atmosphere of the scene.
The parents looked at the son on the TV and was proud and a little angry, and Pu Dad muttered dissatisfactorily: "This stinky boy, the big festival Lala face, as if who owes him two million yes!" ”
But it was also the appearance of this Spring Festival Gala that made an actress named Zhou Xun outside the TV set notice this somewhat decadent young man.
At that time, Xun Meiren had just broken up with Jia Hongsheng, and like Park Shu, Xiao Jia was also a bit of a decadent leper, and it was estimated that at that time she was proud of this mouthful, a rare literary and artistic youth with long hair.
Soon, the media confirmed the news that the two were in love. He cooperated with Zhou Xun on an album and filmed mv together, and Park Shu's state seemed to be getting better and better after having love nourishment.
Remember zhou xun said to him that you smoke a lot like him (Jia Hongsheng). I don't know if Xiao Zhou took him as a substitute, or if she found out that he was not what she imagined, and the relationship did not last long before it dissipated.
After the loss of love, he fell silent for a while, and during that time his life seemed to be quiet again, recording songs during the day and sitting on the road teeth at night, watching the cars coming and going.
In 2003, the 30-year-old Park Shu released his second album "Born like a Summer Flower", which exceeded 500,000 sales and became the top three male artists in mainland China.
The prologue to the album is: "Under the Blue Sky, dedicated to you, my best years." ”
Such concise and summative language may make fans worry, is Park Shu going to retire from the circle?
Sure enough, he disappeared since he hit this album, except for participating in the variety show "Fame Shock" in 2007, he was as invisible as being invisibly performed, and it was also during this period that he and actor Wu Xiaomin registered a low-key marriage.
In 2009, his contract with Wheat Field expired, and he was completely free, and it was probably from this time that he was truly liberated from his heart and began to live like a hermit.
Just like his "Born like a Summer Flower", each of us wants to bloom the summer flower, but some people have not tried their best, and some people have tried to bloom, but they want to live a free life.
Editor's Postscript:
In 2014, Park Shu, who had not appeared for a long time, was finally pulled out of the mountain by Han Han, and in the cheers of the crowd, a song "Ordinary Road" touched the hearts of countless people. Isn't this talking about everyone's ordinary life?
Life is a practice, and perhaps in the decade of silence, he has reconciled with the world, found emotional belonging, and a way of life that suits him.
Now Park Shu, when he needs money, goes out to sing, he doesn't understand fashion, uses old-fashioned Nokia, and sometimes wears his wife's clothes when he goes out on the street. In this regard, Wu Xiaomin has long been accustomed to it, she spoiled him, just like spoiling a big child, and said that even if he does not work for a lifetime, she will always raise him.
Living in his own world, The spontaneous Park Shu is probably one of the few men who have no ambition and are not hated.
If you ask why, it's probably because each of us has a dream of a simple tree in our hearts, but no one dares to have his pure heart.
