Zang Tianshuo was born in Beijing in 1964, and as a native of Beijing, he has the characteristics of a typical northern man. Since he was a child, his parents wanted him to make achievements in his musical career, and arranged for him to learn Xi piano at the age of 6, and later changed to 5 teachers.
The music played by the keys accompanied Zang Tianshuo throughout his youth.
At the age of 17, Zang Tianshuo traveled to many literary and artistic groups in Beijing and did a lot of miscellaneous work. In fact, he can get a stable job through the 2-year Xi period.
But instead of messing around, Zang Tianshuo yearns for freedom, passion and rock 'n' roll. So, he resolutely decided to give up the prospect of comfort and joined the underground rock band "Tumbler", which is extremely uncertain.
At that time, playing rock and roll was considered by many industry insiders to be "not doing business". But for Zang Tianshuo, music is what he believes in and what he believes in rock 'n' roll. At first, he was just a little brother, and he was affectionately called "Xiao Zang" by everyone.
In order to have a chance to prove himself, he worked hard and finally completed his first original song "New Prayer" at the age of 20. Although the response was not great at the time, this was an important first step for Zang Tianshuo to take charge of himself.
After hard work and loneliness, this northern man embarked on the journey of China's local rock with his youth and blood. And the uncle style in his bones is also destined that his music path will not be peaceful.
Zang Tianshuo, who has been tempered in the rock circle, finally ushered in the peak of his career in 1995. In this year, he released his solo album "My Decade", which included his early masterpiece "Friends".
Originally, the response to this song was mediocre when it was released, but it finally exploded into amazing popularity after 10 years. Men and women of all ages will hum the classic melody of "Friend, friend, have you ever remembered me".
"Friend" made him quickly famous, and won the Best Lyric Award at the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards of the year.
Since then, Zang Tianshuo has been synonymous with "Brother Zang" in the hearts of countless music fans, and has embarked on the pinnacle of fame and fortune. He is often invited to participate in various evening parties, and sings this popular song with his unique hoarse voice.
The audience at the scene was attracted by the incomparably special "northern flavor" and sang loudly along with the rhythm. Zang Tianshuo was also immersed in the rich atmosphere and applause of the scene, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.
After becoming a popular singer, Zang Tianshuo also cooperated with director Zhang Yimou to create the theme song "Love Forever" for the movie. This touching love song also pushed his fame to a higher peak.
Since then, no matter where you go in the entertainment industry, some people praise "Brother Zang is Brother Zang", and he has become one of the representative figures of Chinese rock and roll, and his achievements are indelible.
Zang Tianshuo, whose career has reached its peak, began to germinate the idea of opening a bar and giving back to music fans. In 1999, he happily opened his first bar, named "Friends Bar".
But the only significance of the success of this move is to make him realize that he is a layman. Under the "careful care" of the so-called "friends", Zang Tianshuo only lasted for 1 year and failed, losing all his money.
Zang Tianshuo, who tasted the bitter fruits of commercial failure, was not discouraged. He got back on his feet and decided to fight the bar again. When the second bar opened in 2001, Zang Tianshuo learned a lot.
He erected a 10-metre-tall giant guitar in front of the door to attract attention, and the effect was immediate, and business at the second bar improved considerably. This became a turning point in the growth of Zang's business acumen.
However, in the face of those so-called friends who eat and drink for free, it is inevitable to fail again.
In 2002, a third bar opened. This time, Zang Tianshuo hired a professional team to manage it to prevent the ship from capsizing again. He was determined to succeed and even wanted to expand the bar's territory.
After some development, the third store finally gave Zang Tianshuo a taste of sweetness, and also ignited his ambition to do a big business. Building on this victory, he extended the bar business to Nanjing in 2007, which is already the fourth store he has invested in.
However, it was precisely the expansion of business that laid a hidden danger for future murders.
Such repeated warnings to Zang Tianshuo that he must no longer trust his so-called friends when doing business. However, in the face of the stimulation of real money, this northern man's business acumen is still difficult to avoid continuing to move towards the Rapids area.
In 2007, Zang Tianshuo opened his fourth bar in Langfang, Hebei Province, "Friends Di Bar", and a storm directly dragged him into the abyss.
After Sun Baohe, one of the shareholders of Di Bar, became estranged from the general manager, he directed and acted in a large-scale weapon fighting incident. The security guard of Di Bar died, Sun Baohe was sentenced, and Zang Tianshuo was also accused of being the mastermind behind the scenes.
When the police interrogated, Zang Tianshuo knew that the general situation was gone. He couldn't be clearer that behind the word friend is a chain of interests, and once interests are broken, they will affect the pawns that are being used.
After his release from prison in 2014, Zang Tianshuo no longer said to himself, "Zang Ye is Zang Ye". He began to reflect on whether the trust in his so-called friends in the mall was too idealistic.
Perhaps it was because he was too righteous that he attracted bad friends, and finally planted in seemingly mutually beneficial and win-win transactions.
Zang Tianshuo, who was released from prison, held two concerts, which was his apology to fans and the public. The raised arms of the fans in the audience made him see the power of public forgiveness, which also became the motivation for him to start again.
The stage lights hit his face, and Zang Tianshuo only felt unusually warm. Perhaps people need to be forgiven, not attacked.
This murder made his life trajectory deviate too much from the norm, but in the end, the public still wants to believe that he is still the selfless and dedicated big brother. As sung in the song "Friend": "Friend, friend, have you ever thought of me".
If the murder brought a stain on Zang Tianshuo's life trajectory, then the negative behavior in his love life also hurt the woman who truly loved him. Northern men are often considered to have a direct personality, and Zang Tianshuo is no exception.
He likes to have a lot of women at the same time and is ashamed to say "you're not my first and not my last".
Once, Zang Tianshuo deeply loved the Inner Mongolian female singer Siqingerile. The two developed from a teacher-student relationship to a couple, and they were already about to get married. However, Zang Tianshuo later forced Siqingerile to have an abortion and brutally cut off the flesh and blood of the two.
This incident almost became a permanent pain in Siqingerile's heart, and she even faced a breakdown at one point. But Zang Tianshuo still went his own way, completely ignoring her pain.
What's even more embarrassing is Li Mei, Zang Tianshuo's wife. She gave up her acting career just to devote herself to her husband and children. However, Zang Tianshuo not only drank heavily for a long time and went out in an affair, but what was even more unpleasant was that he often insulted Li Mei for no reason.
This weak woman endured humiliation and burdens and supported this crumbling family alone for more than 20 years.
Zang Tianshuo squandered his feelings because of his own selfish desires and ruined two women who truly loved him. On the complex road of life, every choice clearly reflects a person's nature.
Zang Tianshuo's actions all show the macho side of his bones, even if he has paid a terrible price.
One day in September 2018, the news of the sudden death of 54-year-old Zang Tianshuo came. The reason is that he has been drinking too much for many years and has already suffered from severe liver disease.
Zang Tianshuo's sudden death made countless people feel sorry, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye to this northern man for the last time.
Li Mei, the wife who has been half a hundred, silently wiped the group photo in the photo frame alone, and her tears could not be stopped. Siqingerile couldn't calm down for a long time after seeing the news, and she still couldn't break the cage of memories after all.
As for those friends who have squandered Zang Tianshuo's money and reputation, they can only leave euphemistic condolences on Weibo at this moment.
In fact, in the last year of his life, Zang Tianshuo was also reflecting on whether his attitude towards feelings and friendship was too harsh. In fact, he also wants to be a new person and make amends to those who truly love him.
However, death was too quick to take away the time he had left. After all, there are too many regrets in life, but in the next life, maybe they can see each other again.
