Preface
When the bustling stage lights are lit up, when the focus of attention gathers, who would have thought;
This glamorous star was once just an obscure sheep herding baby?
What kind of ups and downs has his music dream experienced?
Rural teenager, dreams sprout
In a remote village in Datong, Shanxi, there is a boy named Zhang Shaochun (Bao's original name).
In the eyes of the villagers, he is no different from any other child, living a life of herding and working day after day.
But only Po himself knows that he has a musical dream hidden deep in his heart.
Whenever the old artists in the village sing folk songs, Po is always the most attentive listener.
Not only can he hum along, but he often runs out into the mountains alone, singing loudly to the heavens and the earth.
When the old people in the village heard his singing, they would always stop for a moment and smile knowingly.
They said, "This baby will be able to produce in the future." "
Po's singing voice seems to have a kind of magic.
It can dispel the fatigue of the villagers for a day and make people forget the hardships of life.
Gradually, Ah Bao had a nickname in the village - "Mountain and Wild Song God".
This title is not only an affirmation of his singing voice, but also an expectation of his dream.
The road to study is full of ups and downs
Despite her family's poverty, her parents discovered Po's innate musical talent.
They saved money and finally sent Po to take the entrance exam for the best art school in Datong when he was 15 years old.
Ah Bao was full of enthusiasm and poured everything into the examination room.
However, an admission notice has become a fragment of Bao's dream.
The rich and powerful parents actually used power and money to snatch Bao's degree.
The young Po tasted the taste of broken dreams for the first time.
He once thought about giving up, but the fire of music in his heart was never extinguished.
"Since I can't go to school, then I'll learn in life!" Po swore secretly.
Since then, he has traveled more frequently to and from the fields, listening attentively to the sounds of nature.
Birds and insects, wind and rain, in Bao's ears, have become a natural movement.
He often improvised and hummed, integrating the bits and pieces of life into his singing.
Join a song and dance troupe and struggle to survive
In order to let their son continue to sing, Bao's parents begged everywhere and finally helped him find a position in a local song and dance troupe.
Although this is not Po's ideal stage, he accepts it for the sake of his livelihood.
The days in the song and dance troupe can be described as a bumpy road.
Po is often assigned the hardest and most tiring chores, moving props, sweeping the venue, and enduring cold eyes and bullying from others.
He sneaked out more than once to sing in teahouses and bars in big cities.
But each time it was in vain, and he was even abandoned in a strange town.
The weight of life did not break Po.
In the streets and alleys, he sang his own mountain folk songs with a simple voice.
Wind and sun, just for that dream in my heart.
During that time, despite the hardships, it became the most precious background color of Po's music career.
The difficult and difficult life sharpened his will, and also made his singing voice thicker and more vicissitudes.
Go south to work hard, and show your edge
By chance, Po came to the southern metropolis of Guangzhou.
He sings in taverns and food stalls, and touches all kinds of listeners with his singing.
Gradually, Bao's unpretentious but highly infectious singing voice attracted the attention of people in the industry.
But in a market where Cantonese songs are overflowing, Po's Mandarin ballads seem out of place.
In order to seek a breakthrough, he began to travel to the countryside and villages, visit folk artists, and humbly learn various singing voices and techniques.
From northern Shaanxi folk songs to Henan pendants, from Shanxi minor tunes to Mongolian long tunes, Bao's singing voice began to have richer colors and layers.
After several tempering, his singing skills became more and more perfect, and finally emerged in a singing contest and won the bronze award.
Bao knows that this award is not only a recognition of his singing voice, but also a stepping stone for him to go to a bigger stage.
He secretly told himself: "When the opportunity comes, you must seize it!" "
Star-studded, fight to fame
Po's good fortune hasn't come to an end yet.
With his excellent performance in the competition, he actually won an invitation letter from CCTV's "Avenue of Stars".
When he wore plain clothes and stood on the bright stage, everyone was amazed by this rustic rural guy.
In the competition, Po showed his singing skills without reservation.
Every song he performs is full of enthusiasm for music and perception of life.
"Shandandan Blossoms Red and Yanyan" sings his attachment to his hometown; "Xintianyou" expresses his sadness in a foreign land;
"In That Distant Place" tells his persistent pursuit of his dreams.
He used his experience to move countless audiences.
People have seen that a sheep herding baby, with perseverance and persistence, actually broke into the palace of music and created one miracle after another.
At that moment, everyone was applauding Po and applauding for his courage and perseverance.
In the end, Po lived up to expectations and won the championship of "Avenue of Stars".
He became a much-anticipated star, becoming a household name overnight.
Spring Festival Gala, David TV, he can be seen on almost every stage.
The young man who used to sing all the way in the wind and rain finally sang his own natural sound.
In Vanity Fair, where to go
However, under the glamorous appearance, Po's heart is not calm.
After becoming famous, he began to hear some doubts.
Some people say that his grassroots image is just a kind of packaging, and he is actually from a well-off family in the city;
Received professional training from an early age; Some people say that his success depends on the money behind the scenes and unspoken rules.
In the face of the flood of gossip, Po chose to remain silent.
He didn't make any clarifications or justifications, as if the singer, who was shining in the spotlight, had returned to obscurity overnight.
Some ill-intentioned people took the opportunity to spread all kinds of negative news in an attempt to completely crush this fledgling young singer.
For a while, Po did feel dazed and helpless.
He often spends himself alone in his room, repeatedly asking himself: Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going?
He began to miss the days when he was grazing and singing in the mountains, and the life of that time was simple and happy, although it was hard.
The media gradually forgot about him, and commercial performances became scarce.
The former idol slowly withdrew from the public's sight.
For a while, the voice about Ah Bao almost disappeared in the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry.
The high-spirited young man seems to have changed back into the simple and shy sheep herding baby.
But Po didn't give up.
He knows that music is the most important thing in his life.
No matter whether he is at the peak or the trough, he must stick to his original intention and warm the hearts of more people with his singing.
So, he set out again and embarked on a new journey of musical exploration.
From folk to rock, from Chinese to hip-hop, Po experimented with a variety of musical styles.
He constantly breaks through himself, challenges himself, and uses his strength to prove that he is not a short-lived idol.
Gradually, people reacquainted themselves with this flesh-and-blood singer, and they saw that behind the halo was a soul that was consistent and insisted on dreaming.
epilogue
Perhaps, Po's story is a legend that happened to ordinary people.
With tenacity and perseverance, he performed an inspirational drama.
But when dreams come true, when ideals encounter difficulties, where should he go?
We don't know what Po is doing now, maybe he's back in the mountains again, or maybe he's in a corner somewhere, singing as always.
But in any case, the boy who was full of musical dreams, the singer who touched thousands of listeners with his singing, is worth remembering.
Because he tells the world that the power of dreams can change the height of life.
