As a self-media blogger, I will delve into a true legend of the Chinese music industry, a life movement full of ups and downs and struggles, but also full of tenacity and courage - Li Yugang. The story is both a moving musical journey and a triumph to break through the mainstream. Let's step into this amazing musical wonder together!
An unyielding musical heart
On the bright music stage in China, there are always some people whose growth process is full of ups and downs, and they have written an extraordinary life movement with tenacity and courage. Among them, Li Yugang's story is just such a touching legend. From the moment when he was forced to give up his artistic dream by poverty when he was young, to his later rise to a dazzling star in the music scene, this musical journey has been full of setbacks and struggles.
Outliers in the world of music
Perhaps many people still remember that era, when excellent singers such as Jay Chou, Tao Zhe, Zhang Shaohan, Wang Xinling and other stars were shining, Li Yugang was questioned because of his drama and feminine voice. His musical style was contrary to the mainstream lyrical style of the time, and was criticized by many people. He was once ridiculed as a man dressed as a woman, a eunuch's voice, and even a classic ruiner. However, these doubts and ridicule did not break him, but instead aroused his inner love for music.
A source of tenacity and courage
This tenacity and courage stemmed from the hardships of his early life. At the age of 19, he was admitted to the Jilin Provincial Academy of Arts with excellent grades, but due to his family's poverty, he had to give up higher education and go out to work alone. But he was soon cheated out of all his money and left in a situation where he couldn't go to college and was destitute. During his days of tossing and turning to make ends meet, he was even beaten for stopping thieves from stealing money. In desperation, he had to work as a waiter and use all kinds of hard work to make ends meet.
The dream of music never goes out
However, his love for music has never diminished. He joined the song and dance troupe, and although he was not paid, he still worked hard to learn to sing. Despite all the difficulties, Li Yugang did not give up. Eventually, he formed a band with a group of like-minded friends and began touring the country. Despite making ends meet, he still holds on to hope.
Despair and regeneration
However, the tricks of fate did not stop. The band has been repeatedly investigated and punished for its lack of performance permits, and is heavily in debt. When everything seemed to be cornered, despair became his only option. In despair, he chose to run to the Liao River and jumped into the river. However, fate does not seem willing to give up on this persistent musical dreamer. A group of beggars actually saved him and saved his life.
This experience made him re-examine his life. The beggars' living conditions are similar to his, and they have all been in a desperate situation. But after spending a month with them, Li Yugang found himself again. He realizes that he is a strong man who has gone through a dead end and that nothing can defeat him anymore.
The road to musical dreams
Since then, working in a video store during the day and as a resident singer at night has become his daily routine. Despite the busyness and poverty of life, Li Yugang's heart is extremely full. He continued to learn voice, dance, and various musical skills, laying a solid foundation for his future music career.
The doors of music are open
Finally, one day, fate favored him. By chance, he sang a song "For Whom" on stage instead of a female singer, and unexpectedly received full applause.
