Let's paint a scene.
Let's say you've gone through half your life and retired with a few years left.
On a leisurely weekend afternoon, sitting in the warm sunshine, I suddenly began to think about what made me what I am today.
Maybe it's reading, it's sports, it's the people you've seen, the ups and downs you've experienced...
Or maybe it's because of a song.
And that song is "Zhang San's Song", right?
Li Shouquan:
I'm going to take you everywhere to fly, all over the world to see it
Initially, Li Shouquan wanted to write a song for the wandering people.
This person can be a teacher, a scientist, or a white-collar worker in the company, or Zhang San, Li, Four, wang, and five who are working hard in the city.
"Zhang San's Song", the song title is derived from this.
It is included in Li Shouquan's album "8 and 1/2", which means "one-half of the eighties passed".
The copy of the album is like this:
"In fact, life is wandering. Run away by the past, run by the future. ”
At that time, it seemed that everyone was looking forward to wandering.
Cui Jian asked "when will you go with me", Qi Yu said "My hometown is far away", Li Shouquan encouraged you more gently, don't be afraid, just go fly and watch.
The outside world is not necessarily as beautiful as a flower, nor is it necessarily your place to live.
But if you don't go anywhere because you're afraid of that.
How good can the nine-to-five work every day be?
Li Shouquan wrote a music diary, unfolding the emotional intuition and rational thinking in youth, so that people have a new understanding every time they hear it.
This is a classic that time has proved.
Since then, Li Shouquan has not released a solo album, but it has left an incomparable echo for the entire Chinese music scene.
Perhaps the seeds of wandering in your heart were planted here.
Cai Qin:
No worries, no sorrows, freedom and cheerfulness
The fire of Cai Qin's cover song made many people think that this was her original song.
Unlike the original gentle and quiet folk song, Cai Qin invited musician Bobby Da to collaborate to adapt Li Shouquan's classic old songs into jazz flavors.
Coupled with Cai Qin's unique voice, people can't help but sway along.
The song was included on the 2000 album Meet, also in honor of Cai Qin and Bobby Da's cherishing of each other's confidant-like feelings.
Some people listen to the song as love, and others treat it as life.
In short, that distant place, in Cai Qin's mouth, seemed to be really a paradise without sadness, free and free, like a dream.
Qi Qin:
Forgetting the pain and forgetting the place, we set off together to wander
10 years later, Qi Qin also covered a version of "Zhang San's Song".
He threw his life story and emotions into the song, and sang what everyone longed for most in their hearts with a simple and pure voice.
The MV of this song is also re-filmed, with Qi Qinqin appointing Jia Jingwen as the heroine, which is intended to interpret the independent and strong character of women in life.
The opening paragraph of the MV has a recitation:
"Is it that everyone who leaves you will leave a part of him for you"
Who we meet and who we miss in our lives is unknown, but it is certain that they will eventually become a part of you.
Forget the pain, forget the path that once wandered.
You don't have to carry too much luggage, and even your memories are stored here.
Sometimes letting go is also an option.
It allows you to stop giving up on yourself.
Xiao Jingteng:
Although there are no beautiful clothes, my heart is full of hope
Reminiscence has the meaning of "memory, nostalgia", Xiao Jingteng used this word as the name of the album, but also hopes that in today's Internet age, people can regain the good memories of the past.
He carefully selected 10 classic works, including Faye Wong's "Reserved" and Xu Meijing's "Moonlight in the City".
There is also a song in it that is Li Shouquan's "Zhang San's Song".
In order to maintain the most realistic texture of the music, Xiao Jingteng decided that all the songs on the album were recorded by One Take's live recording method, rather than through post-synthesis.
This version of "Zhang San's Song" uses piano + strings, with his particularly recognizable voice, different from the gentleness of the original version, and does not have a kind of stubbornness of contemporary young people who long for freedom.
This is a whole new era.
There are high-rise buildings and a variety of clothes and bags, and there are countless opportunities and possibilities.
Just don't get lost in the gorgeous way.
Always remember the first hope in your heart.
In addition, Wu Qingfeng has covered "Zhang San's Song" in the live broadcast some time ago, and the version of Qingyu Flying Bird is also very likable, as well as Yu Chengqing, Hu Xia, Peng Jiahui and others, and they have all had good interpretations.
Classic works are an interpretation that everyone has their own favorite.
Maybe no one will go on wandering forever.
But on the wandering road, there are always people who long for the distance.
