I believe that many viewers who have watched "Passionate Singing" still remember the rural boy who wore tattered clothes on stage. His phrase "I feel the music flowing in my blood" became an eternal classic! No one expected him to be so strong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, all the audience members were shocked, and most of the audience stood up and applauded him. He is Zhong Mengxiu.
Zhong Mengxiu's home is in Balimiao Village, Linyi, Dezhou, Shandong Province, and the village is surrounded by green corn fields, because the village belongs to an oil production area in shengli oilfield, and when passing through the cornfield, an oil well will be seen every other distance, and the oil extractor is slowly running up and down. As soon as we entered the village, enthusiastic villagers showed us the way, and we easily found the dilapidated iron gate of Zhong Mengxiu's house.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard of Zhong Mengxiu's house, I heard a noisy chicken cry in my ears, and a strong smell of chicken dung came to my nose. Zhong Mengxiu's home address was originally the site of a village-run factory, in order to raise chickens conveniently, Zhong Mengxiu's family and uncle moved here in 2008, in addition to Zhong Mengxiu's family's more than 500 chickens, there are thousands of chickens of Uncle Zhong. Every day, Zhong Mengxiu had to feed the chickens with water, feed them, clean up the chicken manure, and collect the eggs laid by the chickens in time. Although the work is not very tiring, the environment is very harsh, and the smell of chicken manure in the chicken coop is particularly smoky.
Zhong Mengxiu's family has 6 acres of land, mainly corn and wheat, Zhong Mengxiu introduced that after the corn harvest, it is mainly used to feed chickens. Zhong Mengxiu's father had a lumbar disc herniation, could not do heavy work, and occasionally went out to do odd jobs. On weekdays, Zhong Mengxiu basically went down to the field to do farm work, and his hands were very rough because of the long-term feeding of chickens to do farm work. During the interview, the reporter found that Zhong Mengxiu's arms on the outside of the T-shirt were obviously darker than the sleeves, which was caused by his frequent work in the fields under the scorching sun.
In addition to raising chickens and farming, Zhong Mengxiu occasionally participates in some county performances on weekdays, some performances do not give any remuneration, that is, to sing, some give a few dozen yuan, Zhong Mengxiu does not care, he said that the main thing is that he likes. The reporter interviewed the villagers in the village, and everyone in the village knew that Zhong Mengxiu sang well, and he often performed on stage. A neighbor introduced that zhong Mengxiu is more shy on weekdays, and will not perform and sing specifically for the villagers, but he sings in the cottage himself, but when he passes by the door, he can hear it, and if he wants to hear him sing, he has to go to the door.
However, after becoming famous, Zhong Mengxiu was suspected of being a fraud by many people. The reporter came to Zhong Mengxiu's home, and in the interview, Zhong Mengxiu said very excitedly: "I can show my ID card and household registration book, I am an authentic farmer, and I am at home to cultivate land and raise chickens." So many people on the Internet say that my identity is fake, I use my truest voice and feelings to express music, but I am so badly abused by others, I really can't figure it out! ”
Yeah, I can't figure it out either! A person with good singing skills, standing on the stage, because of the problem of identity, there will be so many people questioning. In fact, if you think about it, there must be some people who are real, and some people who are pretending. That's why the audience questions, so much so that when a real farmer stands on stage, you don't think he's real.
Now that Zhong Mengxiu has married and had children, the "Looking for a Good Voice" column team went to Zhong Mengxiu's village to find him, invited him to participate in "Looking for a Good Voice", and obtained good results in the subsequent column.
Zhong Mengxiu has no background and is the son of an authentic peasant. His sincere words represent the voice of the audience. Many fans posted on Weibo to support Zhong Mengxiu's singing path getting wider and wider, and to become a peasant singer like Zhu Zhiwen, the coat brother, in the future. Do you like him?
