On April 4, 2021, away from the bustling streets, a once brilliant grassroots group came together again, and their performance was still Wang Feng's song "In Spring".
However, the rudimentary sound equipment and sparse audience are in stark contrast to the bustling scene of the past.
Recalling the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that year, Wang Xu and Liu Gang walked out of the Beijing underpass, with the stubbornness and unwillingness of migrant workers, they brought "In Spring" into everyone's heart, and the name of Rising Sun Yanggang also spread throughout the north and south of the river overnight.
However, the unexpected popularity of the two not only gained fame and fortune, but also lost the direction of life, and in just a few years, they quickly fell from the peak and faded out of the public's sight.
From an ordinary worker to an overnight popular grassroots singer, and now back to square one, how did Rising Sun Yanggang break a good hand?
In 2000, Wang Xu, 34, of Shangqiu, carried a broken acoustic guitar on his back, and firmly boarded the train to Beijing in the face of his wife and children's reluctant tears. For the sake of his dreams, it was not the first time for him to leave home.
Wang Xu was born in rural Henan, and after his father's death, his family fell into poverty. As the only boy in the family, Wang Xu not only failed to share the family burden, but became addicted to singing.
His mother was tolerant and, despite her family's difficult circumstances, supported Wang Xu's musical dreams and encouraged him to study music theory. Wang Xu is full of love for music.
In 1987, Fei Xiang's song "A Fire in Winter" sparked his passion for music. He bought his first guitar sparingly and has since immersed himself in the world of playing and singing by himself, and his image of not doing his job has made the villagers jokingly call him "second-rate son".
However, his singing attracted a girl, Wang Lanzhi. She married Wang Xu despite her parents' objections, and soon they gave birth to a son.
But Wang Xu gradually grew tired of family life, and he was eager to pursue his dream of music. Despite the fact that his wife and children were still young, he decided to run away from home.
The wife disagreed, she thought the burden was too heavy. Wang Xu did not argue and quietly left the house.
This irresponsible behavior broke his wife's heart, but Wang Xu realized his mistake after running around for three years. He decided to go home to spend time with his wife and children.
However, not long after the peaceful days, Wang Xu felt the restlessness in his heart again. He tried different jobs, but due to the pressures of life, he started selling songs in the underground to earn some household income.
His musical dream was realized, he met Liu Gang, who also loved music, and the two shared similar interests and spent a hard but simple life together.
"I was so happy, even though I only had an acoustic guitar."
In August 2010, Wang Xu and Liu Gang sang the song "In Spring" with enthusiasm in the company of friends. The video quickly went viral, resonated and became "the cleanest follower post ever."
They were invited to participate in Zhejiang Satellite TV's "I Love to Remember the Lyrics" column and officially embarked on the road of acting. Soon, they won the runner-up and were loved by the audience.
Although their singing skills are not as good as the original Wang Feng, their music touched people's hearts. Under the stage name "Rising Sun", they officially entered the music career.
However, after experiencing some scenery, they also faced various difficulties and contradictions. Divergent interests, copyright issues, and the excessive pursuit of fame and fortune got them into trouble.
The short-term popularity made them break away from the bottom life, lose their initial musical momentum, and gradually move away from their musical dreams due to narrow patterns and coincidental luck.
Wang Xu and Liu Gang once came together because of a common dream, but they parted ways in the interests and contradictions of reality and lost their original heart.
However, today
On April 4, 2021, a sunny day, the story on a certain street began again. This street has witnessed the glory moment of the once popular grassroots group of the rising sun, and they sang Wang Feng's "In Spring".
However, this time the performance was very different from the hot scenes of the past, with the humble sound equipment and the sparse audience. Looking back on the past, I still remember that year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Wang Xu and Liu Gang sang the song "In the Spring" affectionately with the stubbornness and unwillingness of the workers, which shocked the hearts of all the audiences and made the name of the rising sun Yanggang resound overnight.
However, the unexpected popularity also made these two grassroots singers lose the direction of their lives. Within a few years, they quickly fell from the peak and have since disappeared from public view. What made Rising Sun Yanggang's good hand broken?
Back in 2000, Wang Xu was only 34 years old, carrying a broken acoustic guitar, leaving his wife and children, and resolutely stepping on the train to Beijing. For him, this is not the first time he has left home for his dreams. He was born in rural Henan to a poor family, and his obsession with music made him choose a different life path.
Wang Xu studied music and immersed himself in the world of music. However, his passion for creation made him leave home again and again. Out of the countryside, he came to Beijing and began a life in the north. However, he soon realized that the realization of his dream was not all smooth sailing.
In the process of working hard in Beijing, Wang Xu met Liu Gang, who also loves music. Two grassroots music dreamers met and experienced a difficult and simple time together. They dreamed of it, worked hard for music, sang in underground passages, and had to barely support themselves for a living.
They became popular unexpectedly, and became popular all over the country because of their singing of "In the Spring", so they quickly broke away from the bottom life. However, the pattern that does not match fame and fortune makes them falter in front of fame and fortune. Faced with the temptation of interests, they had differences and even publicly infringed, resulting in conflicts with Wang Feng.
After a short period of scenery and fall, they returned to ordinary life and gradually understood that fame and fortune cannot last long, and what really determines the upper limit of life is the inner strength and pattern. Everyone's life is a journey, with ups and downs, gains and losses. Perhaps, they had a brilliant past, but in the end they left behind memories and lessons of the past. Life is not only winds and snows, but also ups and downs, as the lyrics say: "If one day, I leave quietly, please bury me in this spring". And the rising sun will always remain in people's hearts, no matter how time changes, their musical dreams and stories will be passed on.
To sum up, the story of the rising sun is a story of reflecting on fame and fortune and dreams, and a story of encouraging strivers to stick to their original intentions. No matter how life goes up and down, the most important thing is to maintain inner innocence and faith in dreams. For everyone
