All the stories have to start with a river.
Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, arrived at the Sun Moon Mountain in Qinghai, looked back and did not see Chang'an, looked west at a desolate place, homesick, sad and weeping, tears converged into a river, the name of this river is called the Backward River.
Someone said:
"Even if all the rivers on the earth flow eastward, allow one river to flow backwards."
This river is Zhang Qian dive, and Zhang Qian dive is also that river.

"The Truth of Zhang Qianqian"
How to evaluate Zhang Qianqian?
Musicians, poets, models, painters? Childish, romantic, genius, neurotic?
These may all be Zhang Shallow Dives, and these may not be Zhang Shallow Dives. And all of it comes together to be a real, cute, and heart-wrenching Zhang Qianqian.
The 1980s and 1990s were the birth and glory of Chinese pop culture. Pop culture has experienced the destruction, restoration, innovation, and infiltration of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop culture in a specific historical period.
All kinds of rock music, folk music, punk and other niche music and non-niche music are mushrooming in this land.
What a wonderful time it was, school folk songs were all over the streets, and Magic Rock Sanjie sang rock music to Hung Hom, Hong Kong.
The old wolf's "who coiled up whose long hair" and He Yong's "girl, beautiful" ignited the young and hot hearts of many young boys and girls.
At that time, Zhang Qianqian was graduating from the Qinghai Art School and entering the Qinghai Song and Dance Troupe. Perhaps Zhang Qian's submersive nature is not suitable for this kind of conformist collective life.
At the age of 18, he went south to Guangzhou and became an advertising model. Although Zhang Qianqian was thin and small, under her cold and emaciated face, and her body carried the wild and uninhibited power from the northwest land.
This side is the real Zhang Shallow Dive.
With such a nature, she will certainly not be satisfied with only doing advertising models. When she was in Guangzhou, she began to learn to paint with her boyfriend at the time, and at that time, she began to write songs.
At the age of 26, she came to Beijing to sign a contract with the Red Star Music Commune, and it was at that time that she wrote the great song "Backward River".
How do you evaluate the song "Pouring River"?
There is a sleekness, loneliness and stubbornness in this song, and the determination, softness and self-love that characterize her voice.
She is the first song I listened to Zhang Qianqian, the first time I listened to it, I have fallen in love, there are few musical works in my life that we will fall in love with the first time we listen to it, and "Backward River" is.
This side is also the real Zhang Shallow Dive.
Zhang Qianlu sang in "The Traveler": "I am my own master, walking on the bridge of psychedelic dreams." When I immersed myself in this strange landscape, I found that life is a tragic and joyful drama. ”
I saw that she answered a Q&A on Weibo, and the questioner asked him to evaluate Boss Zhao. Her final answer was:
"The road for musicians is a road of no return. Without a certain persistence and effort, coupled with the absence of works and resources, marginalization is the only result. ”
Zhang Qianqian has continued to tour non-stop and write songs over the years.
She is the epitome of Chinese pop culture and independent music.
People who have experienced the ups and downs of life can spend their lives openly and frankly, although the journey is hard.
This side is more real Zhang Shallow Dive.
"Zhang Qianqian's Kindness"
After the embryonic glory of the 1980s and 1990s, after the baptism of the millennium and the torrent of the market economy, popular culture gradually faded or even declined.
Zhang Qianqian, on the other hand, is also an outlier who does not stick to mainstream ideology and commodification.
She soon broke off her contract with the economic company, entered the independent music circle, and began a musical practice that lasted for more than a decade or even to this day.
I felt like an ascetic, and I had seen the market economy and fame seduce her greatly, but she still resolutely chose a more arduous and bumpy road.
She can even be like many pop singers, eating a song for a lifetime, and constantly walking through the cave to perform, and her life will not be necessarily bitter and overstretched.
And people like Zhang Qianqian are more like people who cherish their music, just like birds cherish feathers.
Because of the music, it is her compassion.
Zhang Qianli sang in "The Career of the Bullfly":
"You ask me what the power of love really is, and I say it makes people feel good. You ask me what my mind really looks like, and I say she makes people look like a bald monk.
You ask me why I rebel against rights, and I say it makes people yell. You ask me why I'm not crazy about money, and I say it wants to let go of people's need for bigger dreams. ”
Everyone should have a utopia in their hearts, when we can't be alone in real life.
And Zhang Qianqian and her music are like adult fairy tales for us. She and her music are the utopias of our hearts.
Someone also asked Zhang Qianqian how to evaluate Zhang Guorong. Zhang Qianqian replied:
"There are many beautiful things that we cannot afford to waste in our lives. Therefore, we should maintain a grateful heart, and remain pure and comfortable in this flashy world, so that we can get our own world. ”
As she sang in the song: "Enough of the world, loyal to ideals, loyal to reality, innocent like a child." ”
"The Beauty of Zhang Qianqian"
By the standards of oriental aesthetics, Zhang Qianqian's face should not be considered good-looking. But there's a magic that you won't forget when you've seen her, like her music, like her paintings.
I don't like to think of art as an avant-garde pioneer, but I just think that Zhang Qianqian's artworks have a style that belongs to Zhang Qianqian.
Over the years, she has held exhibitions and sold paintings. In addition to music, we can see a different Zhang Qianqian. It is a concrete, picture sense of Zhang Shallow Dive.
Zhang Qianqian's new single "Sad Bastard", album cover
I don't know how to paint, but Zhang Qianqian's paintings are colorful and overall presented, just like herself, fierce, bright and beautiful.
I am particularly disgusted that on the Internet or in real life, there are some people who will always satirize and ridicule the characters who have been brilliant and now ordinary, and the greater a person's vision, the bigger his stage will be.
The world goes around, and eventually it will all go away, and everyone will eventually fall to dust.
The most rare thing for people is to know the world and not to be sophisticated.
You can say that she doesn't know how to run herself and her art and get a better life for herself. You could say she doesn't understand interpersonal communication.
But she was rich, and she was with her art, with the music paintings, bumping and bumping, and every footprint she had come out of herself.
Those lives of fame and fortune and even privilege may be just a bondage for her, a footnote.
She would always carry her guitar on her back, touring around the country, spreading her music and live music to more people.
She will also tirelessly paint her paintings, hold exhibitions, and use those colors to outline the story and future that belong to Zhang Qianqian.
Finally, I hope that Zhang Qianqian's voice can be heard by more people, hope that all truth, goodness and beauty can be echoed, and hope that China's artistic environment will be more beautiful.
Hopefully, China has more than one Zhang Qiand dive.
Finally, I love Zhang Qiandun and wish her well.
