On May 2, 1971, Pang Long was born in a mining area in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, and his family was more than 100 meters away from the mine. His father is a miner with 4 children, Pang Long is the youngest, and he has 3 older sisters.
The mother had no formal job and the family was poor. A family of 6 sometimes has only one dish and can't eat enough at all.
None of Pang Long's three generations of grandchildren are engaged in music. When he was in junior high school, pop music was very popular. Pang Long liked the songs of Tan Yonglin, Jacky Cheung and Jiang Yuheng and became obsessed with music.
An uncle told Pang Long's father that Pang Long liked to sing so much and bought him a musical instrument.
Under Pang Long's repeated pleading, his father gritted his teeth and bought a guitar for 76 yuan and more than 300 tape recorders, Pang Long knew that his family was not well off, he had no intention of going to college, and he applied for vocational high school at the age of 14, which could reduce the pressure on his family.
However, near graduation, Pang Long was still addicted to the guitar all day, and his grades were not good, and his father angrily threw the guitar from the 6th floor to the downstairs.
3 months later Pang Long took the exam, the day he finished the exam, his father died of lung cancer, and Pang Long did not see his father when he returned home.
After graduating, Pang Long went to work as a miner, and a year later he went to his father's unit as an electrician. In order to make a living for the family, the mother had to help others repair bicycles.
However, Pang Long is still very persistent about music and wants to enter the conservatory. After his father died, he still had 20,000 yuan left, and his mother took 5,000 yuan to buy a piano for Pang Long.
Not long after, her mother also died, leaving only 4 sisters and brothers to live with each other.

It is not easy to earn money, Pang Long had to go to the big dance hall to sing, 3 yuan a show, 6 yuan a day.
The environment of the dance hall is more complicated, in that era, it was best to turn over a few heels before singing, or to drink more than a dozen bottles of beer, and only singing the dance hall was not willing to want.
Once in Ningbo, Pang Long sang a song by Jacky Cheung, singing with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes, everyone in the audience was gone, and the money was not received. Sometimes only half a song was sung, and the 500 spectators at the bottom were all gone.
During this time, Pang Long made his home all over the world, performing everywhere, wandering, or learning from teachers.
Pang Long rarely went home, and even when he returned home, he did not dare to enter his parents' room, afraid of seeing things and thinking about people.
After singing in the dance hall for several years, Pang Long felt that it was difficult to improve his musical level in this way, and his artistic accomplishment was not enough. So in 1996, the 25-year-old Pang Long was admitted to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music to systematically learn music knowledge.
In college, Pang Long had to go to class during the day, go to the dance hall at night to earn tuition, sing until 12 o'clock, and even many cultural classes were absent from class to go out to sing.
In the school, Pang Long met his mentor Zheng Lu, and the teacher often told Pang Long that he should bring his voice with emotion, not with his voice.
Pang Long also studied very hard, and the problems he couldn't understand in class had to go to the teacher's house for an hour or two after class. Pang Long often joked that he had squeezed out the teacher's artistic cells.
During his college career, Pang Long not only completed his studies with half work and half study, but also composed his first album, including the later famous song "Two Butterflies".
In 1998, Pang Long shared a room with Niu Chaoyang, and they had already completed the creation of "Two Butterflies", but their feelings for this song were not very good.

In 2000, Pang Long went to Beijing to develop after graduation, and the third sister Xiaohong also came to Beijing to follow Pang Long.
At that time, Pang Long was not famous, and his life was very poor. Pang Long shared a room with the third sister, no bed, one mattress per person.
As Pang Long's manager, the third sister has to call the radio station every day, Pang Long is not famous, and the call is almost rejected.
The third sister also had times when she couldn't persevere, but she saw that Pang Long was more bitter and never told her family, so she insisted.
In October 2000, Pang Long released his first album "Life Trilogy". It also needs money to make an album, and Pang Long sold the house left to him by his parents and invested 500,000 yuan. As a result, the album received almost no response and lost all its money.
Pang Long did not want to return to the night scene, and the reality had to survive, so desperate that he even thought about committing suicide.
After some time, Pang Long left Beijing and went to Xi'an to "heal his wounds".
In 2002, Liu Xiaoqing planned to make a TV series "281 Letters", selected "Two Butterflies" as an interlude, and invited Pang Long to sing.
However, Pang Long did not feel very good about this song, and he recommended another singer to sing this song. In the end, for some reasons, the TV series was stopped, and the singing was also shelved.
Pang Long found a bar in Xi'an, and the people of Xi'an liked Pang Long. Every time the singing scene is full, the time is long, and the fans will also surround the stage with flowers before Pang Long sings. Pang Long also became the most popular singer in Xi'an.
At his best, Pang Long worked as a music director at the Xi'an Goldenfinch Nightclub.
At that time, the blind Xia Yingfeng also went to Pang Long and said that he wanted to work in Pang Long's bar. At first, Pang Long refused, and then Pang Long invited Xia Yingfeng to join, and then they became very good friends and career partners.
In the bar, Pang Long also met the well-known singer Li Yugang, Who is a subordinate of Pang Long, and Pang Long also taught Li Yugang a lot of music knowledge.
In Xi'an Pang Long also met a boss who appreciates him, and the boss is willing to help Pang Long out of a new album with 100,000.
In 2004, Liu Xiaoqing remade the TV series "281 Letters" and recorded "Two Butterflies", and the singer who was recommended before could not be found, Liu Xiaoqing went to Pang Long and said: "This song is written for you, then you can sing it." ”
Pang Long recorded "Two Butterflies" with Xia Yingfeng in Xi'an, when Pang Long did not have a professional recording studio, and the microphone was only 200 yuan. In order to reduce the noise, sometimes it is necessary to drill into the bed. The first rough version of "Two Butterflies" was recorded.
And everyone felt that this song was not good, Xia Yingfeng said directly: "If this song can be fired, it will hit the wall, how easy is it to make some money?" ”
At the end of 2004, when Pang Long returned to Beijing, he found that "Two Butterflies" was accidentally on fire, and Pang Long quickly recorded a more exquisite "Two Butterflies" with more professional equipment, so the "Two Butterflies" we heard was divided into a rough version and an exquisite version.
"Two Butterflies" is its song in the streets after the fire, the most popular song at that time was "Mice Love Rice", "Two Butterflies" has been occupying the first place in the list since its inception.
The teacher also called to congratulate Pang Long, and the teacher said: "There are twenty audio-visual shops in Taiyuan Street, and each store plays this song. ”
This song has a beautiful melody, writes out the most sincere emotions of ordinary people, and the song has a slight sense of vicissitudes. Many people use it as a ringtone, and its ringtone downloads are the highest in the country, far more than Jay Chou and Wang Lihong.
The album "Two Butterflies" sold 800,000 copies and became the sales champion. One song generated 240 million in revenue. Later, Pang Long said that this song earned more than the Phoenix Legend.
In 2005, Pang Long released "You Are My Rose", which also sold 600,000 copies, which was also the sales champion.
Some people like a song and some people don't like it. People who don't like it call it "saliva song" and "migrant song", there is no nutrition, and Pang Long is also defined as a network singer.
This is the last thing Pang Long wants to see, after all, he is also a regular army of music undergraduates, and he is also a person who pursues musical connotations.
Therefore, on many occasions Pang Long refused to sing the famous song "Two Butterflies", which the brokerage company was not happy about, and where did the revenue come from if he did not sing the famous song?
Personal positioning and business interests have clashed, and Pang Long's situation is somewhat difficult.
In 2006, Pang Long sang at the Communication University, and students on the stage repeatedly threw paper airplanes at Pang Long, one on his legs and the other on his stomach.
Pang Long really couldn't help it, stopped singing, and then blamed the students in the audience: "I have sung songs for many years, you don't like it, you can not listen, the most important thing is mutual respect, I respect the habits of my classmates, but you can't hit it!" ”
This video of the accusation was posted on the Internet, and the scandal of Pang Long was reported on the Internet, and Pang Long was mad and played a big card...
Including later when Pang Long and Andy Lau collided with the schedule of the concert, he was asked by reporters whether there was any pressure, and Pang Long only said that he had gone to college. A sentence also caused dissatisfaction among Hua fans, resulting in few people in the subsequent concert.
In the glamorous pop music circle, Pang Long seems a little embarrassed, if this continues, he will really become a superficial person.

In 2005, when Pang Long was so popular, he suddenly disappeared, and he accepted the invitation of his alma mater to return to work as a teacher. His alma mater opened a Panglong expert class for him, which should be the best choice when he was confused in Vanity Fair.
Some students think that Pang Long's dress is too simple, and students feel that since he is a star teacher, he should be bright and beautiful, so that students can also feel the aura of stars.
Pang Long refused such a request, and Pang Long felt that teachers should unify professional dress and focus on teaching. Compared with other stars, Pang Long does not have a little "star flavor".
In 2007, Pang Long joined the Second Artillery Corps of the People's Liberation Army, became a military singer, and composed an album of military songs. He's also trying to convey something deeper with music.
In 2008, Pang Long took in five students from the disaster area, bought them clothes and mp3s. When Pang Long was asked in an interview whether he would like to be a singer or a teacher, he said he would prefer to be a teacher.
Music and teaching are Pang Long's duties, he is particularly athletic and good at making friends. He also tried to express sportsmanship and brotherly friendship with music.
Pang Long likes to play tai chi and badminton, and his badminton coach is also the famous coach Li Yongbo.
In the 2008 Guangzhou Asian Games countdown to 200 days, Pang Long wrote a song for Li Yongbo, "Brother Cheers", one to cheer for the Asian Games, and the other to praise his friendship with Li Yongbo.
At the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, Pang Long and gymnast Yang Yun sang the theme song together, conveying the spirit of sportsmanship with their songs.
Pang Long believes that the higher realm of music must have cultural connotations. In 2010, Pang Long released the song "Dream of the Red Chamber", and he wanted to transform into cultural music and get rid of the impression of "superficial" and "ugly".
For a northeastern man, feelings are things carved in the bones.
From the beginning of Pang Long's release of the album to the tenth year, everyone knew that his manager was his third sister Xiaohong.
Pang Long's parents died early, and the four sisters and brothers depended on each other for their lives. Pang Long took care of them more like an older brother, and his sister's children were all supported by Pang Long to study, and now Pang Long had already provided for two college students.
When I was a child, my parents often made dumplings for my four children to eat, and now my parents are gone. However, every New Year's Festival, the four sisters and brothers will gather together for the reunion year and make dumplings together to eat. This is their culture of valuing family and family.
In 2011, Pang Long used family affection as an expression of emotion and composed the song "Home to Eat". The song begins with "Xiao Hong, go home for dinner." This sentence is the sound of their mother telling them to come home for dinner when they were young.
When Pang Long recorded the song, he missed the scene with his parents as a child. He wept five times, sobbing so loudly that he could hardly record it.
In 2014, Pang Long released "Family Style", the song integrates national charm and style, with the intention of promoting the culture of the family.
In 2017, Pang Long released "Let's Go Sing", which is also based on the theme of love, friendship and hometown. What he wants to do is the art that comes from life, the art that returns to reality.
Although the newly released song is not very popular, Pang Long said that the new album is the music that belongs to the heart.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89">5</h1>
Pang Long has his own understanding of popular songs, Pang Long feels that most of the popular songs are in a popular mode, large-scale mechanized assembly line production of fast food, these things have no nutrition and connotation.
Pang Long wants to do something different, he is pursuing a higher realm of music, pursuing the expression of emotions and the height of culture. Classics like dream of the Red Chamber, the longer the age, the more enduring.
From entering the music scene to becoming famous, Pang Long sang in the bar for 16 years. He is a veteran of the music industry, and the network's impression of Pang Long is still "superficial", "saliva song" and "Internet singer".
Liu Zhen, a singer on the Chinese song list, said that Pang Long was a singer who was seriously misread by the music scene. After Pang Long released his new album, the industry commented that Pang Long's musical value was buried for 10 years.
Now the Internet is still hyping up some topics, "How was Pang Long banned?" "How did Pang Long destroy it?"
Pang Long has retired for many years and has focused his main energy on cultivating the next generation of musicians, and pursuing a higher cultural connotation and artistic realm. For the gossip from the outside world, Pang Long no longer cared.
