Friends who like short videos will definitely not be unfamiliar with the name "gluten brother".
From a wandering singer to a certain Internet celebrity, he has always had a strong personal style: black and yellow hair, sloppy stubble and a somewhat vicious singing voice.
Along the way, he has gained countless favorite fans, some people say, "He is simple, inspirational, and has his own dream path."
Of course, there are also many people who question: his appearance and singing voice are a kind of eye-catching hype.
Even this kind of sound in 2018, alarmed a certain sound official, overnight, his works were all removed from the shelves, but he was not discouraged, in order to get more people's recognition, he gradually changed his appearance, but what remained unchanged was that he was still as persistent as ever in music.
But recently, the gluten brother Cheng Shulin fell: he was exposed to have a very serious illness.
In his own words: I'm actually strong enough not to know how many years I'll live?
In life, tomorrow and accidents we don't know who will come first?
But in Cheng Shulin's life, there is no doubt that the accident comes first!
On the evening of October 5, Cheng Shulin sent a video of seeing a doctor, and it can be seen from the video he sent that Cheng Shulin was emaciated a lot, his body was also weak, and the whole person looked particularly haggard.
What is even more poignant is that all this is Cheng Shulin carrying alone, and the family does not know it.
In fact, Cheng Shulin's life before becoming famous was not satisfactory, and the "growing pain" of the original family also made him have a special value and protection for the existing family, so he had to hide.
Cheng Shulin was born into a poor family.
Young and rebellious, he chose to drop out of school and go out to work very early.
It is said that the children of the poor have long been in charge, and Cheng Shulin not only took charge of the family, but also became a family at a very early age, and soon had 4 sons and 1 daughter.
There are two parents on the top, two families on the bottom, and two families, which makes Cheng Shulin feel more stressed.
But without academic qualifications, he can only struggle at the bottom of society.
In 2005, he went to work in a pig farm in Yantai, staying in the pig pen days, Cheng Shulin was very uncomfortable, not only the appearance gradually sloppy, the heart also became more and more inferior, and even can only sing to the pigs, to dispel the "unwillingness" in his heart.
However, it was also here that he found the joy of singing.
However, the wife could not understand and could not bear this kind of life without a future, and finally chose to divorce Cheng Shulin and left the child.
Unfortunately, the old father at this time was old and unable to work because of illness.
Cheng Shulin felt pressure at the same time, decided to go to the big city to fight.
But he didn't know, and the road outside was not easy.
Cheng Shulin, who had just arrived in Shanghai, was unfamiliar with life and penniless, and even once could only beg and live a wandering life.
Fortunately, he met the "nobleman" of his destiny who helped him, not only leaving him to do chores, but also teaching him the craft of baking gluten.
With Cheng Shulin in his craft, he finally had a foothold in this city.
Soon, he also opened a stall for baking gluten.
During that time, it was his happiest day, getting up early every day to make gluten materials, going out of the stall in the afternoon, and closing the stall at eleven o'clock in the evening.
Although I am tired, I have an income every day, and I can write songs and sing songs in my free time, and "Baked Gluten" was created in this situation.
Unfortunately, due to the problem of appearance and experience, this business stall did not last long and failed.
Soon, Cheng Shulin became a "tramp" again, but this time he saw a way to make a living that suited himself and could support his family - selling songs.
As a result, Cheng Shulin began his 10-year career as a wandering singer.
In 2013, Cheng Shulin ushered in his own "highlight" and participated in "The Voice of Chinese Dreams", and the song "Baked Gluten" was brought to the show by him.
This song surprised several judges on the spot, and netizens were laughed at, but only Cheng Shulin knew that it was part of his real life.
In the years of popularity, he became popular very quickly, and he was cold very quickly.
After the show, he has not changed much, he is still "selling singing", in the eyes of his parents, he is a "second-rate son" who is not doing his job; in the hearts of many peers, he is a good big brother with a kind heart and loves music; and in the eyes of netizens, he is a funny "clown" in many videos.
But he didn't think so, he also had a "musical dream", he once said: "They are for survival, and I am for art, I like this industry".
The era of short videos has arrived, and this music lover who has been "wandering" for ten years finally has his own real stage.
In a very short period of time, he has millions of fans, continuous commercial performances, and improved his quality of life, while he has more time and energy to run his favorite "music".
Regrettably, just as he was about to continue his high march on the music road, an illness knocked him down.
Cheng Shulin, who is ill, is most worried about his children, especially his little daughter, which is the worry in his heart.
Because of the less time spent with him, Cheng Shulin also thanked his daughter's class teacher and the people who helped her daughter on his social platform.
However, for the gluten brother Cheng Shulin, he still wants to get better, and it can be seen from his gesture of praying together that he not only has music that cannot be put down, but also his children also need him.
After all, he is only 46 years old, and the days ahead are still very long.
As many netizens said: come on gluten brother, must be good!
