Wu Bai, the godfather of rock and roll, returned to the stage after a long absence, and everyone was looking forward to it. When his vigorous figure stepped on the steps, the deafening cheers of the scene resounded throughout the venue, as if a triumphant song was blowing.
Wu Bai looked around, facing the frenzy of thousands of fans, his face was full of helplessness, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide a faint smug smile.
I saw him stand in the center, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth and sang a magnetic lyric. This sound was like a heavy hammer, smashing on the hearts of all the fans, and instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue to the highest point! Everyone sang loudly along with Wu Bai's rhythm, and the scene was as if they had been trained, and all the fans' movements were neat and unified, as if they had rehearsed countless times in advance.
Seeing this, Wu Bai did not stop singing, but quietly listened to this former ideal supporter, who has now become his supporter. In the most simple, simple, yet touching way, they pay the highest tribute to the pinnacle of the music industry.
This abnormal scene can't help but recall that this rock master, who seems to be bold and free on the surface, acts flamboyantly, has actually experienced vicissitudes of life in his heart, and his fate has never been smooth sailing.
On January 14, 1968, Wu Bai was quietly born in a small village of an ordinary peasant family in Chiayi, Taiwan. His father was an ordinary worker in a garlic candy factory, and his mother made a living selling betel nuts on the streets.
As the first child in the family, Wu Bai's birth undoubtedly made his parents full of joy, and they gave their son a vibrant name "Junlin", placing high hopes on him to become an outstanding talent with a dignified appearance and a rich school in the future.
Who would have thought that Wu Bai has been a gluttonous little fat man since he was a child, and his weight has climbed to an astonishing 100 kilograms at a young age. Wu Bai's classmates later recalled that period of the past, and they were always amazed at his appearance back then: he was slightly short and bulky, and he had no potential to become a stage star in the future.
Indeed, it is far from the beautiful vision that his parents expected him to be "dignified".
However, a seemingly insignificant little thing turned out to drop a bombshell on Wu Bai's life trajectory and changed his entire fate. One day, Wu Bai witnessed his classmates proudly driving bicycles and carrying their favorite female companions around the campus.
Seeing this scene, an incomparably strong fire of envy and jealousy ignited in his heart, and he longed for his parents to give him the same opportunity.
From that moment on, Wu Bai memorized books every day and read hard until late at night after school. Finally, in the final examination room, a shocking reversal was realized: he took a strong breath and achieved a perfect score of 100% in all subjects in a row, becoming the pride of his family and villagers in one fell swoop! Grandfather fulfilled his promise and purchased a brand-new bicycle with a lot of money for Wu Bai, thus opening a new chapter in his ups and downs in life.
After the success of the reversal, Wu Bai's love for music began to slowly ferment in his heart. He began to obsessively watch MTV music channels and was fascinated by the beautiful melodies and gorgeous fingering of the guitars.
Soon, this passion for the guitar was like a wildfire that began to burn in his young heart.
By the time he was in high school, Wu Bai's obsession with music had reached the point where he almost got carried away. In the examination room of the college entrance examination, his thoughts were always unable to concentrate, and he repeatedly lingered on the chord tunes of the guitar.
His family arranged for him to repeat his studies for a year, but after a full year, the situation did not change at all, and his college entrance examination performance still did not make any achievements.
So, in the summer when his high school career came to an end, Wu Bai left his hometown without hesitation and went to Taipei, the bustling city of his dreams, alone, and started his bumpy road to chase his music dream.
At first, Wu Bai made a living by singing in bars. Every night, he would stand on the stage, facing the endless golden rice fields, wandering most of Taiwan and returning to his hometown, still singing loudly.
Despite the hardships of life, his dedication to music has never wavered. What's even more tragic is that during these difficult days, Wu Bai's two closest brothers suffered accidents one after another and passed away from him.
This undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to his inner spirit.
Wu Bai had no choice but to bear everything and adhere to the ideals of the artist. Just when he was most confused and in need of life guidance, fate once again generously extended a helping hand to him.
In a bar singing, he was caught by the discerning nobleman Ni Chonghua at a glance. Since then, Ni Chonghua has become Wu Bai's most sincere friend and life mentor, guiding and supporting this young man in his pursuit of music all the way.
In 1992, with the support of Ni Chonghua, Wu Bai finally got his wish and released his first album "Falling in Love with Others is a Happy Thing". Although it didn't get off to a good start, as he was derided as a "trucker" for his uninhibited hip-hop image, and the album sales were far from expected, this debut was the cornerstone of his future superstardom career.
Although Wu Bai's music career started at a low point, the turnaround soon ushered in the dawn two years later in 1996. That year, a work called "Ronin Love Song" appeared like a meteor, wildly igniting the entire Chinese music scene and becoming the best footnote to Wu Bai's musical talent.
As soon as this song was released, it immediately captured the hearts of countless fans, making Wu Bai's fame soar from then on, opening the golden peak of his career.
In the same year, he also released the critically acclaimed album Norwegian Wood, which took his musical talent to a whole new level. What is surprising is that from this big old man who looks quite bold and crisp on the surface, such a tactful and poetic gentle and lingering work flows.
In fact, although Wu Bai is serious and cold on the outside, he has a delicate and gentle soul deep in his heart. Even his unique way of performing on stage is often accused of being somewhat distorted, almost terrifying.
When he was a fledgling, Wu Bai, because he was too sensitive and worried, was told by his master Ni Chonghua that this kind of crazy performance might scare away female fans, but he was like a heartbroken little woman on the spot, and burst into tears.
In 1991, just as Wu Bai was singing in a bar to make a living, a woman came into his life like a shining one. Her name is Chen Wenpei, 5 years older than Wu Bai, with a dark complexion and a mediocre appearance, graduated from a famous overseas school, and has outstanding knowledge.
At first, she was just Wu Bai's agent, responsible for arranging his itinerary and publicity. But as time went by, the fate between the two became deeper and deeper, and the time of falling in love turned out to be 12 years.
It was not until 2003 that Wu Bai and Chen Wenpei married their confidants in a small restaurant in Fukuoka, Japan, in a low-key and grand way. There were no guests at the wedding, only the restaurant's service staff.
Wu Bai often sighs from the bottom of her heart: "It is she who makes my life perfect and more meaningful." Since then, they've been inseparable, always dressed up in tonal couple outfits wherever they go.
Although Wu Bai is slightly short and rugged, and has even been ridiculed as a "truck driver", his unique and unparalleled stage performance style has fascinated countless fans and female artists.
They all regarded the "godfather of rock and roll" as a "friend of women" and loved him religiously.
The well-known diva Tian Fuzhen is Wu Bai's number one "little fan girl".
In the backstage of a grand awards ceremony, Tian Fuzhen suddenly saw the idol in his heart appear in front of him, and he was immediately ecstatic, thinking that he had won the award and cheering.
But she then revealed that the real reason why she was excited was because "Teacher Wu Bai took the initiative to take a photo with me".
Another powerful singer, Liu Ruoying, has had many opportunities to cooperate with Wu Bai. The two once sang Wu Bai's masterpiece "Ronin Love Song" together, and when the melody was surrounding, there seemed to be a sweet ambiguous atmosphere around the scene.
Even Xiao S, the stage queen who has always been known for her "violence", couldn't help but show her "gentlemanly" side when facing Wu Bai, and said to him affectionately: "You are the most gentle and considerate man I have ever met."
In fact, from Chen Qizhen , Na Ying to Faye Wong , Mok Wenwei, countless diva-level artists are obedient to Wu Bai and regard him as a mentor and idol in the music industry.
What makes people puzzled is why this man, whose appearance can only be described by the word "ordinary", can attract the favor and pursuit of so many goddesses? The reason is precisely because of his unique personal charm of dedication to music and fanatical devotion to the stage.
Wu Bai always sang hoarsely and like crazy on stage, and even the distorted muscle lines of his face were almost hideous and terrifying. But when he was a fledgling, he was too sensitive, and was told by his master that this style of performance might scare away female fans, and he burst into tears on the spot like a weak little woman.
Now that I think about it, it is this delicate heart and fiery enthusiasm that have created Wu Bai's unique stage personal charm and made him the prince charming in the hearts of countless female artists.
