Bao, a child born into a simple and poor rural family, was unable to enjoy formal education during his childhood. However, when it comes to music, he has an endless passion and love that cannot be described in words.
Living in a village in the vast fields of northern Shaanxi, Bao has been a "sheep herder" since he was a child, and whenever he allows the sheep to roam freely in the fields, he always sings passionately.
Although he was surrounded by cows and sheep munching on the grass quietly, this did not extinguish his ardent desire for music.
Although life is full of hardships, the dream of music has always burned in Po's young heart, like a faint but never-extinguishing lighthouse in the dark night, showing him the way forward.
He seems to have a natural connection with music, and even though he has never received formal vocal training, his natural voice often amazes his family and fellow villagers.
Time passed quietly in Po's ears and eyes, and his love for music grew deeper and deeper over time. Until the age of 17, full of enthusiasm for the music career, Po resolutely left his hometown and embarked on a journey to the bustling city.
As a young man who has never left the countryside, Po seemed a little lost and helpless when he first stepped into this strange city. His pockets were empty, and he knew nothing about this whole new world.
However, his dedication to a career in music has never wavered. While wandering the streets, he unexpectedly discovers that a cabaret is hiring a new resident singer, which is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So, Po did not hesitate to put down his dignity and begged his boss many times to give him a chance to show his talents. Despite the differences between his slightly rugged folk style and the boss's aesthetic, the boss was eventually infected by the young man's enthusiasm and agreed to his request.
Since then, Po has started his difficult but fulfilling career as a resident singer.
However, the reality is shocking! Every time Ah Bao sang those charming northern Shaanxi folk songs with a passionate voice, the enthusiasm of the audience was instantly ignited, the scene was lively, and more people stopped to admire.
Over time, Po's distinctive folk style became known in the hall, and his income skyrocketed. Soon after, a large number of enthusiastic and expectant people wanted to become his disciples and learn the art of singing from him.
Among the many students, Po is especially important to a young man named Huang Ge. This apprentice is very talented and has a powerful voice, and after mastering the singing skills taught by Po, he actively participates in various music competitions.
In 2005, the popular variety show "Avenue of Stars" hosted by the well-known host Bi Fujian swept all over the country. Huang Ge did not hesitate to sign up for the event, and finally became a blockbuster and won the championship that year. Immediately afterwards, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he deeply moved the audience with an affectionate song "Spring Water Flows".
Seeing that the former apprentice is now famous, Po seems to have received some kind of inspiration and encouragement. He began to aspire to follow the same path as his apprentices and show his true singing prowess.
It was then that a nationwide craze was set off, and a show called the Western Folk Song Contest attracted much attention. As a grassroots singer from rural northern Shaanxi with a deep and rich voice, Ah Bao is comfortable with this competition.
As expected, under the careful planning and creation of the program team, he successfully passed five levels and six generals, and won the bronze medal award that year in one fell swoop. This is undoubtedly a full affirmation of his singing talent, and it also lays a solid foundation for him to reach a higher stage in the future.
In 2011, Bao was honored to accept the invitation to be a guest on the famous talk show "Tonight" hosted by Guo Degang. At the beginning, the atmosphere was slightly tense. In order to break the deadlock, Po offered to paint a portrait of Guo Degang.
At that time, Guo Degang didn't think too much about it, so he readily agreed.
Soon after, Mr. Po firmly picked up the pen in his hand and threw himself into the creation on paper. However, who would have predicted that when this beautiful work of art was finally displayed, the scene would suddenly fall into a ridiculous silence.
This portrait of Mr. Guo Degang is undoubtedly from Mr. Bao's handwriting, but his brushstrokes are extremely abstract and distorted, as if he was a malicious distortion of the image of this national treasure-level cross talk master.
In the face of such shameless behavior, Mr. Guo Degang's inner anger surged like rolling waves. However, with his extensive stage experience, he struggled to suppress his inner anger and finally succeeded in channeling the conversation back on track.
So, Mr. Po began to show off his glorious history.
In the face of such arrogant and rude remarks, Mr. Guo Degang tried his best to control his emotions and only calmly asked Mr. Bao's real name. However, Mr. Po only revealed his last name and was vague about his first name.
Then, Mr. Guo Degang asked: "So, before you became famous, did you always work as a herd?" When Mr. Po heard this question, he chose to avoid answering it and forcibly changed the topic.
In fact, in the glorious years before becoming famous, Mr. Po was indeed infinitely beautiful. With a popular song "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous", he quickly rose to become a popular idol with the unique image of "rural sheep herding baby".
There was a steady stream of business activity, and popularity rose sharply. He sang soulfully under the pyramids of Egypt and held a solo concert in the solemn Great Hall of the People.
However, it was this achievement that made Mr. Po proud and empty-eyed. After appearing on the stage of "There is a Play Tonight", he not only spoke disrespectfully to Mr. Guo Degang, but even said that he wanted to "destroy the Phoenix Legend".
These words and deeds are undoubtedly a heavy blow to myself. Unexpectedly, Mr. Guo Degang became the first person to expose his lies, and from then on, Mr. Bao's "big name" aura began to become shaky.
His self-proclaimed "very low-key" and "keen on environmental protection" remarks are even more absurd under Mr. Guo Degang's sharp rebuttal. "You've let the world know how low-key you are!" This sentence is like a curse, and it also lays the groundwork for the notoriety that Mr. Po is about to face.
The audience was surprised by A Bao's series of faux pas in the program "There is a Play Tonight", and people questioned his image of "a simple sheep herding baby in northern Shaanxi". Po then worked closely with Zhang Dongling, a well-known female singer in the Chinese music scene, but the reason for this decision was a big surprise.
Ah Bao once said unashamedly that he would join forces with Zhang Dongling to "defeat the Phoenix Legend". However, at that time, he had not released any popular songs, and he could not be compared with those two music superstars, and this kind of remark was undoubtedly naked "grandstanding".
Next, his relationship with Zhang Dongling and Wang Erni also sparked public speculation, and some people even rumored that he had an ambiguous relationship with these two female singers.
There are all kinds of signs that Bao's carefully created image of "simple and kind rural youth" is in jeopardy. And the source of all this can be traced back to his rudeness and offense to his mentor Guo Lanying.
In a certain program, when Guo Lanying recalled the process of meeting Ah Bao, Ah Bao interrupted his master's words emotionally, on the grounds that he had never left the countryside and set foot in the big city.
As Po gradually revealed his true colors, some photos of him in the bar when he was young began to circulate on the Internet. Po in the photo is dressed very stylishly, wearing skinny jeans and a peaked cap, which is in sharp contrast to his self-proclaimed "rural origin" image.
Soon, more inside stories about Po were revealed. Some netizens broke the news that Bao's parents are actually not farmers, but employees of a state-owned enterprise. And he himself worked for this company for a while. A comment pointed out: "At least 80% of Bao's description of his life experience is fictional." ”
Seeing that his image was about to collapse, Po turned to try to re-establish his image on the stage of the variety show "Echo Loud". He studied under the highly respected artist Guo Lanying. However, Po, who hoped to make a comeback with the help of prestige, did not get his wish. On the contrary, the mentor mercilessly exposed the lie that he "never left the big city" on the show.
To put it mercilessly, Po's image that has been carefully shaped in the hearts of the public for many years collapsed in an instant. He has always been good at weaving lies, and the essence of his inferior character is naked in front of everyone, and there is no way to hide it.
During the period when Po's deception and inferior qualities were repeatedly exposed in the public eye, he did not realize his mistakes, but intensified and went further and further. In recent years, although he has been tirelessly releasing new solo albums, no one wants to stop there.
Due to being away from the stage for a long time, Po gradually lost his sensitivity to the aesthetic needs of contemporary young people, and his music style gradually drifted away from the trend of the times.
In 2020, Po unexpectedly appeared on the stage of a local TV station, trying to relive the glory of the past. However, when he sang to his heart's content on stage, the audience at the scene was accustomed to this and did not give him warm applause and cheers.
People have completely lost interest in the former idol superstar.
Desperate, Po can only turn to the emerging short video platform to seek exposure, and he is like a crazy performer, recklessly acting in the online world, trying to attract attention with all kinds of bizarre actions.
In the video, he wears heavy makeup, sometimes talks to himself, sometimes makes some incomprehensible babbles, and the whole person looks like a deranged madman.
"Even a tavern commercial performance worth 500 yuan is now unpopular! Friends, I'm really starving to death......" Po in the video screamed so sadly.
In fact, Po did have something to do in the field of music in the early years. He not only sang affectionately under the Egyptian pyramids, but also left his own singing voice in the solemn venue of the Great Hall of the People.
There is an endless stream of business activities, and he has attracted the attention of countless people.
However, after being complacent with pride, Po began to degenerate step by step. His scandals with Zhang Dongling and Wang Erni, his rude ridicule of Guo Degang, and the lie that he was born as a "sheep herding baby" all became the last straw that overwhelmed him.
Today's Po has long lost his professional ethics, not to mention his final personal dignity.
Although some of Bao's extreme behaviors on the short video platform did bring him momentary popularity and attention, we must clearly understand that these fleeting flashes of brilliance are just a glimpse. Now, Po is far from becoming popular again, and it can even be said that it is out of reach! And his arrogance and arrogance at the beginning are the root cause of the difficult to heal and cause him to suffer today's predicament!
