追星梦想破灭，21岁步入歌坛
Baotou in 1972 was full of coal mines and smoke. Yang Kun was born in such an ordinary working family, and his parents worked and farmed to support the livelihood of a family of three.
In the eyes of parents, a stable job is everything. Their plan is very simple - let Yang Kun enter the factory honestly, and An An will share his life.
Xiao Yang Kun doesn't want to lock his life in a barren factory, the colorful stage on the TV and the singer in a sequined dress are all he yearns for. Whenever his parents were out, he would secretly turn on the TV and imitate the movements of the singers on the screen over and over again.
Yang Kun was afraid of his parents' reprimand, so he only dared to secretly practice Xi when the two were not at home. When his parents' footsteps approached, he immediately turned off the TV and pretended to be doing household chores.
In 1993, on the day of the end of the college entrance examination, Yang Kun plucked up the courage to tell his parents his dream - he wanted to study music. However, all of a sudden, the parents rebuked in disbelief: "What kind of conservatory do you go to? Can you make money singing?" Yang Kun had to give up in frustration.
Having no other choice, he entered a local factory and became an apprentice welder. The mechanical repetition of day after day made him feel bored and miserable, and the roar of noise in the industrial workshop made him miss the melodious singing of the television in his youth.
It wasn't until he was 21 years old that Yang Kun finally mustered up the courage to escape from the cage-like life set for him by his parents. He quit his job as a welder, joined the art troupe, and became a singer as he wished.
The stage lights hit him softly and warmly, and it seemed that he had finally dispelled the cold in his heart for many years.
North drifts the verge of a nervous breakdown
At the age of 26, Yang Kun left his hometown and came to the unfamiliar metropolis of Beijing. At first, the colorful night scene and the busy streets and alleys made his eyes shine.
Soon after, however, it was a long night, and the cold moonlight reflected in his small, gloomy rental house. With no relatives or brothers, Yang Kun could only curl up on the awkward wooden bed, trying to imagine the beauty of life in Beipiao.
During the day, Yang Kun earns a living in an inconspicuous song hall. As he sang and sang, he began to question whether this glamorous place was really suitable for his musical dreams.
The owner of the song hall asked him to drink and chat with the guests, but he refused; The boss deliberately made it difficult and deducted his salary. Yang Kun would rather suffer than give in. He barely survived on what little income he had, living in an attic on the upper floor of the cabaret, only 15 square meters, and was often frequented by rats.
Sometimes, he would eat just a slice of bread for a few days on end and then buy cigarettes with all the money he saved. This seemed to be his only consolation.
Just when Yang Kun felt that his life in Beipiao had reached a desperate situation and he could no longer see hope, one day he met Bai Xue, an old friend of the art troupe who he hadn't seen for many years, in the song hall. The joy of reunion diluted all Yang Kun's unhappiness for a while.
Bai Xue took him in to live in the same room with her, saving him the trouble of rent. Bai Xue took care of his food, clothing and daily life, so that his restless heart finally stopped.
However, the good times were short-lived. Friends joked that he was "relying on women to eat soft rice", and Yang Kun was angry and turned his face with Bai Xue. Once again, he was homeless, huddled in the toilet of the cabaret all day creating, waiting for the dawn to break in extreme depression and despair.
became famous and arrogant, and repeatedly "commented" to get into trouble
In 2002, "It Doesn't Matter" became popular overnight, and Yang Kun finally ushered in the first highlight moment of his life. TV stations are vying for invitations, commercial performances are coming one after another, and the value is also rising.
Yang Kun was ecstatic with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands, and he bought a high-end apartment in the central city as a new home. When he gets together with friends, he always likes to talk about the shortcomings of young singers today, as if he is at the peak of his life.
What Yang Kun is most unaccustomed to are those idol singers who debuted through the draft and relied on their appearance to be popular. He publicly said that Li Yuchun "lowered the national aesthetics again and again", and covered Li's masterpieces many times to show that he is a real good singer.
Yang Kun's remarks immediately aroused the strong anger of Li fans, and they attacked him en masse, denouncing Yang Kun for being self-effacing and narrow-minded.
Perhaps because he got carried away, Yang Kun's unbridled mouth did not stop there. He even publicly stated that "Andy Lau is not a singer in the real sense". This sentence directly angered Andy Lau's fans, and Yang Kun was repeatedly driven away by fans shouting the name "Andy Lau" during the performance.
Yang Kun was extremely devastated for a while, and had to explain in a low voice that "Andy Lau's acting skills are too strong, which affects people's judgment of his singing skills". However, his vagueness did not emerge public understanding.
The more Yang Kun wanted to justify himself, the more unbearable and angry fans were with him.
All kinds of words and deeds finally made Yang Kun pay a heavy price. He has no commercial performances to take, and only the e-commerce live broadcast of the Ya Market social platform barely makes a living.
When the middle-aged man shouted at the cold mobile phone lens alone, he was already depressed and had endless melancholy in his heart.
Those who are abandoned by society fall from the peak to the bottom
Today's Yang Kun has faded out of the public eye and has become an outdated singer who no one cares about. He is like a shooting star, quickly fading from people's memories. Yang Kun no longer had the opportunity to stand on the glamorous star stage, so he could only sing at some rural banquets in the wilderness to spend his cold time in middle age.
What made his social image fall to the bottom even more was that Yang Kun was witnessed forcibly pulling a lady at the banquet. Slightly drunk, he clung to the other party and refused to let go, and used too much force to make the woman cry out for help.
As soon as the video was exposed, public opinion was in an uproar. Everyone accused drunken disorderly sex and indiscretion, and typed "scumbag" in the comment area. Yang Kun was embarrassed for a while and disappeared.
In life, I am most afraid of falling into the quagmire from the clouds. The menopausal Yang Kun was depressed and drunk all day long, and the fans who promised him all left him. At this moment, he realized the true meaning of "things must be opposed".
I thought that I was empty of all my talents and arrogance, and made several vain comments on my peers in the music world, which caused countless unanimous spits. Now that retribution has come, he understands the truth that "arrogant soldiers will be defeated".
Yang Kun is still mechanically repeating his aging life, but unfortunately it is too late to regret everything. When he was a teenager, he was arrogant, but now he can only sigh alone at dusk.
He could no longer regain his old glory, except to watch everything that had once crumble before him.
