Speaking of Yao Thirteen, many people first think of a folk organization "Ma Oil Leaf". The organization, founded by folk singer Ma Wei, was little famous in its early years. However, unlike the other two members of the organization, Song Dongye and Ma Wei, Yao Thirteen had never been popular. Yao Thirteen's music is very recognizable, and it is difficult for others to sing his feelings except for his own singing. Therefore, after Song Dongye's "Miss Dong" and Ma Song's "Nanshan South" were sung by the draft singers, Yao Thirteen was still a lonely and unknown folk singer.
Looking back on Yao Thirteen's experience, sometimes I feel that creation has made people. It is reasonable to say that as a high-achieving student majoring in clinical medicine at Wuhan University, it is unlikely to become a nameless person who is mixed in the folk music circle. Success in the secular sense should be closer to your profession, and being a full-time doctor may be able to live a well-off life more quickly. It may be that Yao Thirteen has always had an artistic dream in his heart, and he has to become a maverick folk singer.
After the movie Tuina used his own music "Fuck", Yao Thirteen was a little famous in the folk circle. But at this time, Yao Thirteen felt that he was a little impetuous, needed to be silent for a while, and needed to live in seclusion. To this end, Yao Thirteen returned to Guiyang and spent more than twenty years building in the Yelang Valley, which the artist Song Peilun spent more than twenty years building. Here, without the hustle and bustle of Beijing, he lives in a wooden house. Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, drink tea and read books when I wake up, and I also eat stir-fried rice in the Yelang Valley. Life is very free, casual, very comfortable, the only thing is poverty. Because of this, he sold a lot of his belongings, but his favorite instruments were not willing to sell.
The artist's heart is full of loneliness, and only loneliness can inspire creativity. Guizhou Bijie Zhijin County is Yao Thirteen's hometown, and I have a deep understanding of this place. Guizhou is my second hometown, and I have been in Guizhou for eight years. The place of Bijie is relatively poor in the whole of Guizhou, so Yao Thirteen's songs always sound "miserable and miserable, sad and heart-wrenching". This may be related to Thirteen's childhood memories, so Yao Thirteen's more famous songs always carry a kind of poor sour atmosphere of a reader, and this, in my opinion, is the most artist's place. Yao Thirteen wrote Liu Yong's "Raining Bells" with a liver and intestine, and Zhou Yunpeng, who is also a musician, praised it in "Green Skin Train": This is the most classic modern translation of this word, and I feel that Liu Yong is a Guizhou person who eats sauerkraut fish.
Wait until the later movie "The Unknown Generation" in Yao Thirteen's "Blind Man", let Yao Thirteen's popularity rise a little, but Thirteen himself is still not very cold about this. He has simple and simple wishes, naked and unadulterated with any calculations. Just like the songs he composed, full of story, with tragic beauty, it will also seem too desolate. When you really understand the stories he created, you will feel that his music is really a literary film, such as "The Second Concubine", "The Story of Longgang", and "The Blind Man".
I never thought that Yao Thirteen would be much red, maybe he had always been a nameless person. I never felt that anyone could replace him, because the selfless world and the wide world in my heart can approach the essence of art more purely, art has never been a show of wealth and packaging, the real art is the way people at the bottom live, and it is a song written by countless small people with their own blood and tears. And these, I have seen in Yao Thirteen's works, maybe this is also the difference between Yao Thirteen and others.
