Original Column [ Folk Songs ]
Speaking of Zhang Hang, the sentence "In the scenery of all the people who have not changed, I like you the most" I don't know how many people's signature files appear, open my own notepad, in addition to this sentence, from "no longer feel that losing is reluctant" to "what I have is a fluke, what I lose is life" to "If you turn back in front, I also turn back, we miss" are all available.
Listening to Zhang Hang for almost ten years, as an 85 former passerby A, my adolescence has nothing to do with Zhang Hang, but the pain, helplessness, thinking and loneliness of the entire postpuberty can not be less Than Zhang Hang.
Zhang Hang is not called Zhang Hang, his original name is Jiao Anpu, the second generation of officials, the daughter of Jiao Renhe. The pen name Zhang Hang, "Hanging" may mean the unresolved life of youth, the unresolved love, "Zhang" surname is probably because of the love of Zhang Ailing. The eunuch family, which was originally rooted in Miao Hong, has become a literary and artistic youth who prefers rock and roll wanton behavior, and she once said that none of the things that happened to her happened or ended in the way of normal people or existing social values. Eleven years ago, no one thought that Jiao Renhe's daughter would be a self-made niche singer, she did, and eleven years later, when the stage, cheers and applause all belonged to her, she unexpectedly said goodbye and said the sentence that made me cry, "Thank you for the impermanence of life."
15 years associated with Zhang Hang is bound to make people mixed feelings, in January this year, Zhang Hang for the first time as a director, at the Kaohsiung Dome planned the performance of the Tide Water Proverbs concert, very sincerely waved goodbye to the stage, as to when to return, it is unknown.
The Taiwanese witch shop where Zhang Hang once sang
Boss Zhang, who is always nagging at Live, did not say much about the farewell, judging from her remarks on Facebook, should be tired of the current state, looking forward to exploring the boundaries of ability and experience, she once said at the concert, Neil Young is her spiritual mentor, let her examine herself at every stage of life, she said that he is fully humble about what happens in life, she said that she has a lot of things to do, she feels that she needs to put into good faith to accomplish things far beyond pop music, It's a real shame to be drowned in endless performances of maintaining fame and functioning.
The farewell may be a little sudden, but she said these words is not unexpected, the second generation of officials, small freshness, flag door, etc. did not make her stand still, the good reputation of the niche can not stop her growth and change, even strength, talent, attention has not extinguished her ordinary and indifferent as an ordinary person, she is a person who always pursues and is loyal to herself, perhaps she wants to temporarily seal the brilliance and fatigue in front of her, silently withdraw from the spotlight, quietly read, write poetry, talk about love, buy vegetables, cook. Maybe it's better, but why bother?
First, Hang on to others
Baidu searched for Zhang Hang, someone asked, how about Zhang Hang's character? I think that whether it is as personal as rumored, at least a person who is generous, sincere, and never spares his good intentions.
For example, she is a serious person, monthly reviewer Ma Shifang commented on Zhang Hang, "She is a group of singer-songwriters who have risen in the Internet era, initially accumulated countless die-hard fans with a small live house, over the years, she has always responded to fans on the Internet, written long articles, talked about creation, talked about life, and also talked about hard public issues." She communicated directly with music fans on the online platform, eliminating the middleman layers of the entertainment industry. ”
For example, she has the heart of an artist, always seeing good, she is grateful to her family, "My father gave me the deepest education is to treat people with kindness, and to be spoiled in this life." What my sister influenced me the most was to stick to it and never compromise. My brother taught me the art of humor and criticism (but I don't use it very well). My mother taught me that devotion to love is not unconditionally selfless, but true love is a great sincerity, and the ability to be kind to the object and cherish one's own love. My father didn't give us much protection and favor when we were growing up, and he did the same for himself, and I still remember the days when he was often noticed as an official, memorizing ancient Chinese on his broken tin-wrapped plastic bookshelf. The bookshelf was really ugly, and my father's bookshelf repeatedly reminded and shaped our values of wealth and nobility. I have great respect for my father and I am thankful to be a child of my parents. ”
For example, she has a clear sense of right and wrong, and she says that all those who are strong and righteous, who do not build high walls but climb over the high walls of trend ideas, have a lot of education and influence on her.
For example, she has a kind of heroism intertwined with the big sister, she talked about the most memorable moment in 2013 in an interview, when she participated in a music festival in Tainan, she suddenly did not do a beautiful rain and heavy rain, simply sang with the audience in the rain, felt painful, and then the heavy rain led to the jumping performance was forced to be interrupted, she and the members of the group watched the rain chat in the background, vigorously, actually felt like camping, saw everyone's excitement, she said that there was a sense of happiness of a big sister.
For example, she has the warmth and belonging of a little woman, when a reporter asks her what she did that she thought would never be done? She said she would never sacrifice the time she spent with her boyfriend to work, but the result was that she worked every day and often looked sorry.
For example, she has a rare simplicity, has produced two albums, although it is a non-mainstream in the mainstream, but also the absolute mainstream in the non-mainstream, she is not completely ignorant of her own fame and popularity, she just looks at herself more as an ordinary person. A good friend of hers put on a stage play in the theater, and she took the initiative to help others sell tickets, not the kind of platform, just a conductor who honestly sat there selling tickets.
For example, she never cheated on her feelings, and at the meeting, Zhang Said that she was grateful to everyone for buying tickets, hugging fans one by one at the end, and when hugging, her head would stay on each other's shoulders for a moment and close her eyes. Compared with those hypocritical hugs, such hugs do not know how many people have begun to fall in love with Zhang Hang.
For example, she has the kindness of a Buddhist, she says the instrument is alive, and she allows her instrument to board for Virgin Atlantic, thanking them in particular.
For example, she has a meaning that she will never give up, and she will tell the fans what she wants to say, so she often seems bitter and nagging, even if sometimes the time of the speech takes up the time of the performance. There is no chance to talk about the scene, go on the network and continue to speak.
Needless to say, she is not someone who only her family members and friends will say that she is good, she is a person who can be a friend of life, even if she is separated and just a stranger.
Second, Zhang Hang and Small Fresh
People magazine had an interview with Zhang in late 2013, and there was a question about Xiao Qingxin. The question asks many people because of "little freshness" like Zhang Hang, ask her what to see? She said, "Singers who are very good at dancing are not walking down the street and coming home to dinner with friends as hot as they are on stage, right?" I am a relatively old-fashioned person, and for many years I have not been able to deeply understand the vocabulary and definitions derived from these popular trends, nor will I follow them to define them. ”
Although I still don't understand where Xiao Qingxin comes from and what its connotation is, whether it is some Taiwanese healing taste LOMO style, or the collection of Yang Naiwen, Teacher Chen, Aunt Shanni, and of course Zhang Hang, it doesn't matter, we don't have to spend time to think about a term, there is nothing wrong, and even I think it is beautiful. But at the same time, the beauty of xiao freshness has nothing to do with Zhang Hang, Zhang Hang is still the 13-year-old who ran the Shang River embankment alone in the cold wind while crying and writing "Baby", or the Zhang Hang who sang "Tears of twenty years old" with Chen Sheng and sang "Children of the Southern Country" together, or the Zhang Hang who thanked the impermanence of life, and will always be the Zhang Hang who will not be confined to any identity, genre, circle, and rules.
Eleven years, four albums, it is indeed low-prolific, but at least the word of mouth is good. In 2006, "My life will..." Zhang Hang's life has just begun; in 2007, "Dear... I don't know yet" Zhang Hang precipitated the pain and thoughts of young girls; in 2009, Zhang Hang came out of "City", although that year Chen Qizhen came out of "Sun", Soda Green came out of "Spring • Daylight", Chen Shanni came out of "If One Thing Is Important", but what really entered the hearts of many people was Zhang Hang's "City"; three years later, in 2012, "God's Game" Shanshan came late, Zhang Hang's smoky and fiery, but always calm and calm voice behind it is a rock soul, perhaps never willing to be classified as "small literature and art." "Little Fresh", three years of slow simmering, Qinrun classics, coupled with the teacher Li Shouquan's click, took out her thirty-one-year-old musical masterpieces.
Some people talk about Zhang Hang's lyrics, thinking that it is very contradictory, she often uses shallow to pale tunes to sing the words of the clouds and deep fog, perhaps it can be understood that her guitar is played in general, the talent for melody creation is limited, and it can also be understood that her enthusiasm and habit of expression is like this, gentle, tepid, with clever arrangements, those modern poetic lyrics directly to the heart. If you are not satisfied, you can listen to the melody and run elsewhere, Teacher Chen has "The Meaning of Travel", Soda Green has "Little Love Song", Penny Tai has "Blessings on the Street Corner", there are countless Maydays, and even Lu Guangzhong has a few songs. As for Zhang Hang, she is not suitable for big red, although this statement is cruel, but I think she herself will not care, is Zhang Hang's fans will have a similar unpleasant experience, whenever Zhang Hang sings an anecdote, the audience shouts "baby" one after another, to be fair, the song she is worth remembering can be a lot else, far from this one.
It doesn't matter if there is no one who likes it, it is precious not to be serious about "small freshness", Teacher Chen has been renamed "old clothes", what is the benefit of consuming those concepts and blind preferences, it is better to be single-minded in your own world.
III. Conclusion: Poetic tension, there will be a period later
Mature, sensible romantic Zhang Hang, positive, hard-working pessimist Jiao Anpu, sentimental and uninhibited, generous and peaceful and stubborn, contradictory, reconciled, colliding, intertwined, in the blink of an eye is ten years, what moved me was that she said, "When I was a singer, I felt that the most broken place in my heart, the place where I was most lonely and frustrated, may be the most comforting thing in the first half of my life, because it makes me live very really, I only seek truth in my life, and even do not seek wisdom." ”
As a peer who is a few years younger than her, I admire her sincerity and courage in life, refuse to easily become a jerk or speculator in life, as the second generation of officials has not graduated from a famous school, never sits in a precarious position, as a singer is neither prolific nor caters to the market, saying that she will go, saying that she will let go, everything will follow fate, only for the sake of sincerity.
In the end, I can only decisively abandon Xiao Fresh and summarize the suspense in my heart: a female poet who is as serious as a schoolboy, plays the guitar well, carries a bottle of wine and sings on stage, is very talkative when live, and sings folk songs in the pop music world in a rock and roll way.
When she said goodbye, she said she would start over and welcome anyone who had a heart to know again.
There will be a period later, hopefully not too long.
