At the end of 2018, an ordinary weekend on the eve of the Spring Festival, a special guest was welcomed in Beijing's Shichahai Park.
As the musicians tuned their instruments, the crowd in the park slowly gathered.
At this time, a tall man wearing a large trench coat, wearing a one-piece hat, wearing a gray and red body, wearing sunglasses walked to the microphone, without too many words, like an old friend and simply said hello to everyone: Good weekend!

As the band accompaniment sounded, he slowly began to sing:
Do you remember?
At that night,
How it came...
This song "Orion Constellation" gives people the feeling of being as affectionate as ever, as clear as ever, and the voice is still as magnetic as ever.
Although the outdoor temperature had dropped to minus six degrees by then, the warm singing had already melted the chill in people's hearts.
This person can push away the 2 million performance fees, just because he doesn't like the spokesperson of the brand.
But he can sing for free on the streets for ordinary people, he said: I want to sing songs to those who come out early and return late, and run for life.
This person is: Park Shu. Unpretentious: Simple and realistic, not flashy.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > first, the first reversal of The Park Tree</h1>
Pu Shu, formerly known as Pu Shu, was born in Nanjing in 1973 and came to Beijing with his parents to settle down at a very young age, living in the family home of Peking University.
Pu Shu was born after mingmen, his parents Pu Zuyin and his mother Liu Ping are famous physics professors and computer professors at Peking University.

When Park Shu was in elementary school, his grades belonged to the middle and upper reaches, but in the year of "XiaoshengChu", something happened that made him completely change his fate.
At the time of "XiaoshengChu", Park Shu scored 173 points, and the admission score line of Peking University Affiliated High School at that time was 173.5 points, which made his father have to pull down his face and run for this matter for almost a month, but the result backfired.
Park Shu also did not expect that 0.5 points would bring him such serious consequences: rubbing shoulders with key middle schools. If he is a child of an ordinary family, it does not matter, but as a child of peking university professors, it is normal for others to feel that they should perform well, and this invisible pressure makes Park Shu slowly become introverted and inferior.
If it weren't for this 0.5 points, there probably wouldn't be today's Pu Shu, and he might have become another ordinary Pu Shu. Fortunately, Park Shu has an older brother named Pu Shi who likes music. A large part of Park Shu's musical hobbies are influenced by his brother.

Pu Shi has loved music since he was a child, especially in the era when rock music was just rising, Pu Shi was crazy about it, so Park Shu has been rendering since he was a child, and the seeds of music have quietly sprouted in his heart.
However, Park Shu's parents are engaged in scientific research, of course, they hope that their children can grow up like them and devote themselves to scientific research and contribute to the motherland.
The eldest is obsessed with music, but he can't let the second brother repeat the same mistakes, so after junior high school, his parents are extra strict about Park Shu's study.
However, Park Shu's heart has completely lost confidence and motivation for learning because of the 0.5 point stem, and the only motivation is a piano left by his brother before going to college, which has become an expression of Park Shu's catharsis.
In order to learn this instrument better, Park Shu enrolled in a guitar training class, holding the guitar all day, inseparable.
The parents felt pain in their brains when they thought of these two sons, and sure enough, none of them followed their wishes when they grew up, one later ran to do business, and the other was even more unreliable and ran to make music.
People who wanted to make music did not end up on the road of music, and Park Shu, who should have studied well, accidentally embarked on the path of music, as if this was fate.
Seeing that his younger son was also addicted to music day by day, Pu Zuyin really couldn't sit still, and it was enough to go on like this, not to mention the college entrance examination, and the high school graduation was enough.
Pu Zuyin had to use the radical method, saying that as long as Park Shu could be admitted to college, he would be promised any conditions, even if he had long hair and played rock and roll.
When Park Shu heard about his father, his eyes returned to clarity. From the third year of high school, he began to work hard, and finally was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages of Capital Normal University.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, the second reversal of the park tree</h1>
Park Shu, who was admitted to college, was not happy, and he took the acceptance letter home and said to his parents, I have admitted you to college, this is what you want, but it is not what I want.
This kind of behavior made the parents feel uneasy, and they persuaded Park Shu to go to school, and they were really afraid that this young son would do some irrational behavior.
It turns out that the more you worry about something, the more things tend to go in the direction that you don't want to happen.
After going to college, Park Shu was completely liberated from the depression of the examination, he was addicted to rock and roll and could not extricate himself, he grew long hair, and every day except playing the piano was to sleep, such a day was difficult to survive the freshman year.
After his sophomore year, Park Shu felt more and more bored with school, he didn't go to class for more than half a year, and finally he made a surprising decision: quit school and go to his favorite music!
This is Park Shu's second rebellion, which also completely sealed his path to school.
Of course, Park Shu's move was strongly opposed by his parents, but he did not want to go to school with an iron heart, and his helpless parents had to go to the school to plead for him to keep his school registration for a year.
Unfortunately, at that time, Park Shu was already like a wild horse that had lost its reins, and he felt that only music belonged to his grassland.
A year later, Park Shu finally gave up his studies. After dropping out of school, Park Shu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study and creation of music, and became a "rock youth" who did not do business in the eyes of others.
Parents can only simply turn a blind eye, let him toss it, as long as they do not go astray, anyway, it is like this, how bad can it be?
Until one day, Park Shu's mother looked at a long-haired, decadent son, and couldn't bear it, and said to Park Shu: Child, although we are still alive now, but in the future we will not be there? What means do you earn a living to support yourself? Do you really want to serve the plate?
His mother's words awakened Park Shu and forced him to face up to this real problem of survival.
It was then that a friend who was playing music with him had someone give him advice and say you haven't been writing songs? Try writing some songs for some record labels, maybe selling for money.
With this simple idea, after thinking about the introduction of friends, Park Shu got to know the "short and tight" who had not yet been blessed, and the same long hair fluttering, a Tsinghua compound grew up, a Peking University compound grew up, this "fate", lighting can not be found.
After listening to Park Shu holding the guitar and singing the song, his eyes lit up, and the tune of this folk song was not exactly the person he was looking for? He felt that this brother would definitely be able to fire in the future, so he recommended Park Shuli to the partner of his company at that time: Song Ke.
Song Ke
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, Park Shu's first album</h1>
In 1996, Park Shu became the first artist to sign a contract with Wheat field records.
Because the Pu character strokes are complex, "short and tight" gave him a suggestion, in case you want to fire in the future, how hard will it take to sign the name? Park Shu listened, yes, anyway, the sound is the same, so he simplified "Pu" to "Park", Park Shu's stage name came from this.
At that time, Song Ke's wheat field company was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and he was brewing to make the wheat field soar. Therefore, we are fully prepared to create three new concept albums, which are named "red, white and blue", and the production of these three albums has changed the fate of many people.
For example, that year, Xu Wei was in a period of depression and depression, and it was Song Ke who called him and asked him to return to Beijing to help Ye Bei make the "Age of Innocence" album representing blue, which made Xu Wei return to music. (For details, please check another article about Xu Wei published by the author before)
I Went to 2000 album
Representing the white is Park Shu's album "I Went to 2000", which was personally written by the famous music producer Zhang Yadong, and invited Dou Wei, Li Yanliang and others to co-play as musicians.
The songs on the album are all created by Park Shu himself, for a person from a wild road, if there is no talent, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to complete the songwriting of the entire album alone, but Park Shu has done it, and this album that lasted three years and was time-consuming and labor-intensive was finally released in January 1999.
Fortunately, this album does not disappoint, the ten songs on the album are the crystallization of many top musicians, such as "NEY BOY", "Those Flowers" and Park Shu's famous masterpiece "Birch Forest", each song represents an era.
With his pure voice, Park Shu tugged at the heartstrings of many people, and at the same time he also showed us the image of a musician with great musical talent, romance and melancholy.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fourth, helplessness after fame</h1>
The tree was red, and it turned purple overnight. This made Park Shu, who was originally obscure, like quiet, introverted, and did not like to talk, feel at a loss.
Many people who became famous overnight were like Park Shu at first, but then they slowly got used to it, but Park Shu was an exception, and even today he is still nervous in the face of the media.
What disturbed him the most after becoming famous was that in the face of interviews with various media, Park Shu's answers often made people thunderous.
For example, at the scene of the award ceremony, the host looked at the cold and silent Park Shu and said, "You are so cool!" Unexpectedly, Park Shu coldly replied: "Cool is a fart"! Such a raw answer almost did not choke the host to death.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 2000, the director of the Spring Festival Gala wanted to put together a "new song singing" program and let Park Shu sing "Birch Forest" by name. Being on the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala is something that many singers dream of, because being on the Spring Festival Gala is equivalent to being a household name and famous in the world.
How many people want to go crazy at the Spring Festival Gala, but in the face of the big pie that fell from the sky, Park Shu didn't want to go on too much, there weren't too many reasons, and he didn't like it or didn't like it.
The whole company felt that this was a great opportunity for publicity, and under the persuasion of almost everyone in the company, Park Shu had to reluctantly agree to it.
However, during the rehearsal, each actor needed to record a few words to the camera, and put him Park Shu and several actors who played the sketch together, and Park Shu collapsed at that time.
He felt how could he go on stage with this gang, I was singing, they were acting, and finally asked him to fake sing, which made Park Shu really unacceptable, he knew at that time that the Spring Festival Gala as a heavyweight stage absolutely did not allow a single mistake.
He had a big fight with Zhang Lu, the head of the company's propaganda department at the time.
Park Shu (with a cold face) said: I am definitely not on the Spring Festival Gala!
Zhang Lu (Furious): Do you think this is a family? If you want to go up, you don't want to go up, why are you so bullish? Thinking only about your own feelings, have you considered the feelings of others? So many people in the company have paid a lot of effort for you to go to the Spring Festival Gala, you are good, a word will pick a pick! Do you know what respect is?
Park Shu (scolding and crying and answering): How did I cow X? I just don't want to live this life, and I'm not happy at all right now! ”......
In the end, Park Shu was scolded for compromise and honestly continued to participate in the rehearsal the next day.
Chinese New Year's Eve night, Park Shu's parents sat in front of the TV, excitedly waiting for their son to appear on the screen. But how does this child look a little unhappy? And dressed scruffily...
Park Shu at the Spring Festival Gala in 2000 Picture from the Internet
Park Shu can only vent his inner resistance and dissatisfaction in this way, and among the people who are forced to go to the Spring Festival Gala, Park Shu is definitely the first.
At that time, Park Shu tried to use his innocence to fight against the cruelty of the adult world, but the result was definitely scarred and his head was broken and bleeding.
But this is The Park Tree, who does not agree, will never compromise, does not like the same refusal, learns can not be smooth and sophisticated, proud but also fragile.
No one does not aspire to fame, but fame and profit after fame is not something that everyone can enjoy, and the so-called crown must first bear its weight.
Career-wise Park Shu has begun to set sail, emotionally? Park Shu will welcome two important women in his life.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fifth, the first woman in Park Shu's life</h1>
In 1999, the newly famous Park Shu participated in the film "When the Flowers Bloomed" shot by "Short and Tight".
At that time, the flowers bloomed in the drama The picture comes from the Internet
In the crew, he met a girl who looked like an elf, and this girl was named Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun is a good actor, and she can devote herself to every scene she shoots, so that she can't tell the love in the play or the emotions in real life.
Zhou Xun is a very emotional woman, her understanding of the world relies on acting and love to understand, such a person loves purely, wants to be very pure, like is like, dislike is separated.
It is precisely because of this personality, and Park Shu is very similar, so the two people can easily collide with the spark, once loved deep into the bone marrow.
However, Zhou Xun has a fatal hard wound, that is, every time she shoots a scene, she will easily re-enter the arms of the male protagonist of the new play, just like she met Jia Hongsheng because of filming "Suzhou Creek", and she knew Park Shu when filming "When the Flowers Bloomed", bringing the emotions in the play to the outside of the play, it will be an accident.
We can't define whether she is a scumbag or not, but dare to love and hate this character and never say that the other party is not after the breakup, and we do not make an evaluation here.
At that time, Park Shu was 26 years old, Zhou Xun was 25 years old, and after the two participated in "When the Flowers Bloomed", because of the drama, Park Shu, who was usually silent and taciturn in the crew, suddenly became gushing when facing Zhou Xun.
During the filming break, in order to let Zhou Xun rest for a while, Park Shu acted as a flower protector, blocking the car door with his tall body to prevent anyone from disturbing Zhou Xun.
Later, in an interview, when the host mentioned the matter, Zhou Xun's eyes were full of fog, perhaps it was a good memory, but like a glass, it shattered.
Two artists with tacit understanding collide together, emotionally sometimes not necessarily a good thing, each artist has their own paranoid definition of love, the transition to the pursuit of the ultimate perfection, will eventually lead to parting ways.
The "golden boy" in the eyes of everyone broke up after only one year together, and the separation was only so that they could meet a better partner.
The other half of Park Shu's life is about to debut.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > six, the most important woman in Park Shu's life</h1>
Wu Xiaomin was born in Shanghai in 1981, because she was relatively low-key, so that she later changed her name to Wu Minfei or Wu Daining, we don't know, but this is not important, the important thing is that she is Park Shu's wife.
However, for this label, Wu Xiaominlai felt unimpressed, even without Park Shu, she also lived freely. Friends who are familiar with Wu Xiaomin know that her personality is similar to Park Shu, because she also has an independent personality and a heart that insists on herself.
Wu Xiaomin graduated from the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and she did not want to be low-key, but because the film and television dramas she participated in were either anti-war dramas or spy dramas, such as "So Many Petite", "One Door and Three Commanders", "Operation Sharp Arrow", "West Yunnan 1994", "Behind the Gunshots", "Special Warfare Pioneer", "One Man War", etc. She has played a soldier and a secret agent in the play, just imagine who young people now watch such film and television dramas?
Wu Xiaomin film and television stills
Because of this, Wu Xiaomin's star path is tepid, but fortunately filming is not her main business, Wu Xiaomin has a good business mind, she has founded her own clothing brand from a very early age, she is rigorous, decisive, capable in the face of work, like a queen with a strong aura, in the face of friends she is sincere, straightforward, informal, sincere and undisguised, such a character makes her business bigger and bigger.
In August 2002, Park Shu and Wu Xiaomin went to a friend's birthday dance together, and sang a song "Birch Forest" in order to help Park Shu, Wu Xiaomin did not show weakness, improvised a song, and the girl with short hair left a deep impression on Park Shu.
After Wu Xiaomin finished singing, Park Shu came over and praised her for singing well, and in the process of chatting, Wu Xiaomin's straightforward, simple, and frank personality deeply touched Park Shu.
This encounter made Park Shu fall in love with Wu Xiaomin at first sight. Sure enough, within a few days, Park Shu began to ask Wu Xiaomin to dinner, facing the invitation of literary and artistic talents, Wu Xiaomin gladly agreed, she is such a girl, whether facing life or facing feelings are sincere and without any embellishment, the next things naturally become a natural thing...
At the end of 2004, one of Wu Xiaomin's best friends got married, which touched her a lot, at that time she and Park Shu had been in love for almost 3 years, so she said to Park Shu: Let's get married too! Park Shu agreed without even thinking about it.
Park Shu and Wu Xiaomin
Wu Xiaomin called his parents in Shanghai directly and asked them to send their hukou books to Beijing, and on January 5, 2005, the two registered their marriage in Beijing, which did not drag the mud and water at all.
In 2003, when Park Shu was soaring, his second album "Born like a Summer Flower" was still a mess, and a few months later, the value of his performance rose and soared to the top three in China at that time.
Then, in 2004, Park Shu won the MTV Super Festival Most Stylish Male Singer Award, and in 2005, won the Best Singer-Songwriter Award in mainland China in the 11th Global Chinese Music Chart.
But it is such a man as in the clouds in 2005 and Wu Xiaomin quietly married, there is no grand wedding scene, did not invite any star bowl to the scene, Park Shu believes that marriage is a private matter, there is no need for everyone to know, just invited the parents of both sides to have a meal together, even relatives and friends were not invited, this matter is so fixed.
In 2003, after Park Shu's "Born like a Summer Flower" album exploded again, in order to repay the kindness of Mai Tian, he agreed to the company's cooperation with publicity and performance, and the company rarely saw Park Shu easily nodding, so he arranged a tour of 52 cities across the country.
Album cover of "Born like a Summer Flower"
Those two years of walking to make money almost exhausted all of Park Shu's enthusiasm for commercial performances, so the endless performance made him feel confused, Park Shu wondered if I could only live on these songs in my life?
After the tour, Park Shu fell seriously ill, and then he had psychological problems, and he began to become depressed. The cause of depression was simple, and he lost himself. Park Shu pushed away all the commercial performances, every day when he opened his eyes but did not know what to do, he wanted to write a new song, but when he picked up the piano, he could not even play a note, which made Park Shu feel desperate.
Just like in 2013, when recording the song "Farewell", Park Shu once cried, and the song that can touch people's hearts is a good song, which has always been his creative goal, Park Shu once said: If you can write such a song, let him die immediately. If a singer-songwriter suddenly can't write songs, you can imagine how sad and painful it is, and Park Shu was like that at that time.
Delicate and sentimental Park Tree
After Park Shu became depressed, in addition to going downstairs to buy cigarettes and walking dogs, almost rarely went downstairs, basically zero social interaction, Wu Xiaomin looked in the eyes of pain in her heart, she felt that it was better to let Park Shu change a comfortable environment may be able to adjust his state. So Wu Xiaomin said to Pu Shu, why don't we sell the house, go to the suburbs to rent a big villa, the house can be wherever you want, as long as you like, live enough we will change.
In fact, there have been many articles saying that although Park Shu is so famous, but has not had his own property in Beijing, this statement is not correct, just imagine Park Shu in the most famous time, a casual commercial performance can pay a down payment for a house in the city center, and his wife's clothing brand is all over the high-end fashion crowd, how can he not buy a house?
Soon after having this idea, they set their sights on a villa in the suburbs of Shunyi, so they did not hesitate to sell the house in the city center, and this rent was more than ten years, so it gave people the illusion of not having money to buy a house.
Park Shu raised two dogs in the villa, and after Wu Xiaomin's warm care and the inseparable companionship of these two dogs, he slowly cured his depression. Two people and two dogs, just quietly watching the sun shine into the villa, enjoying every day of life, since then Park Shu liked such a life, for a long time disappeared from our vision, he needs to slowly find his own creative inspiration.
Wu Xiaomin loves Park Shu very much, and has heard a saying before: If you love him, give him a baby! But when it comes to Pu Shu, this is just the opposite.
Wu Xiaomin likes children very much, but Park Shu does not want them. Once, Wu Xiaomin jokingly told Zhang Xinyi that she should give birth to two more, and if she couldn't bring them, she could help bring them. But despite this, Wu Xiaomin finally respected Park Shu's choice and has not wanted children for so many years.
Park Shu, like many famous singers, such as Xu Wei and Li Jian, has never had children, and when you think about it, you will find that they all have many striking similarities.
They are all afraid that they will not be able to educate the next generation, that they will be poisoned by this society, and that they will be joined by a new member and that they will break the peace of their lives.
This seems sad in the eyes of some people, and understandable in the eyes of some people. However, as ordinary people, the vast majority of people are incomprehensible, perhaps people like them, the purer the soul, the more difficult it is to integrate into the world.
But even if the two best people live together, Ken will be more contradictory. Park Shu and Wu Xiaomin have also experienced running-in to understanding and then to mutual tolerance.
Everyone will have emotions and tempers, although Wu Xiaomin loves Park Shu very much, but sometimes when Park Shu devotes himself to work, he often throws bad tempers to Wu Xiaomin, Wu Xiaomin of course can't tolerate it, at the critical point, even almost to propose divorce to Park Shu, she said to Park Shu: You left the best side to music, but left the worst side to the person you love the most.
Park Shu suddenly realized, yes, I have been working with my head buried, but I often ignore my wife's feelings, and Park Shu is full of guilt for Wu Xiaomin in her heart. From then on, Park Shu began to learn to listen, and then slowly changed his bad habits and listened to some suggestions from his wife.
Park Shu experienced the darkest days of his life, one day, he finally found that he suddenly wanted to play the piano, after disappearing for many years, the inspiration gradually returned, in 2014, park shu left the music scene for more than ten years to create the theme song "Ordinary Road" for Han Han's film "After the End" let us see a return to Park Shu.
Once "Ordinary Road" came out, it directly occupied the top of dozens of music charts, and Park Shu proved with practical actions that he also had the ability to create good songs.
The lyrics in "Ordinary Road", although they are filled in by Han Han, are the true portrayal of Park Shu's experience and from the heart: I once had everything, and in the blink of an eye, it drifted like smoke, I was once lost and disappointed, lost all directions, until I saw the ordinary, is the only answer...
A singer can let people experience the intuition of youth through the power of songs, as well as find the direction of the future in sadness and confusion, and Park Shu also finally found the direction of his life after "Ordinary Road".
In 2017, Park Shu released his third album "Orion Constellation", which also exploded the entire market. Singers like Park Shu may be unique. Some people keep releasing albums or making movies after becoming famous, but Park Shu is different, his heart has always been only music, he has only released three albums in more than twenty years, but each one must be a classic.
Orion Horoscope album
When Lu Yu interviewed him, he took Lu Yu to the place where he worked. At that time, the recording engineer told Lu Yu that Park Shu paid great attention to every song, every tiny detail, some of the timbres were obviously only professionals can hear, ordinary people will not care about the details at all, but Park Shu did not think so, he felt that to make music you have to wholeheartedly do real music instead of fooling people, from this we can see how strict Park Shu is for his own music, this is a musician with the most persistent attitude to make music.
Now Park Shu has become much more cheerful than before, he even followed his wife's advice to participate in some variety shows, he feels that in fact, some variety shows are not as bad as he imagined.
But Park Shu is still the straight Park Shu, when participating in some programs, bluntly said that lack of money is lack of money, not pretentious, not coquettish. When he also participated in the judges of "Summer of the Band", he directly said that he was old and wanted to go home to sleep, leaving only the host in the wind messy.
But although Park Shu went straight and forward, we still loved him deeply. Some netizens said: When I was a teenager, I liked him and thought he was literary and artistic; later, I grew up to hate him and think that he was forced; now I love him more and more, because I finally understand his purity, in fact, from beginning to end, Park Shu has always been a simple person.
I was especially afraid that I wasn't the one everyone thought I was, that I wasn't that good, but not so bad. I was just like everyone else, going through a particularly complicated life. — Park Shu
This article is for friends who like Park Shu, I hope he can bring us more good songs, and Bless Park Shu, although he is 48 years old, he is still the big boy in our minds.
