In 2004, a divine comedy that combined a variety of musical styles, "My Skateboard Shoes", came out, and the word "friction" became the hot stem of the year, and together with the singer Pang Mai Lang, ushered in a highlight moment.

The thirty-year-old grassroots singer completed the counterattack almost overnight.
The capitalists who saw the wind in their favor threw an olive branch at him. But the rising star has not yet fully bloomed its own light, and it hastily ended in controversy.

In March this year, agent Bai Xiaofa revealed in a video that Pang Mailang was forcibly sent to a mental hospital for treatment because of severe mental illness.
Subsequently, the village branch secretary where the Pang family is located admitted this statement and revealed that Pang Mailang had beaten his parents due to an illness attack, and had been sent to the hospital once before, this time the second admission.
Two months later, Pang Mai Lang was discharged from the hospital. After being discharged from the hospital, he spent every day at home reading books, writing songs, and occasionally helping his parents with farm work.
Pang Mai Lang believes that he is not sick, very normal, just a problem with tinnitus. Therefore, he insisted on taking the road of music, and planted it headlong into it without hesitation, and even planned to continue performing after two months of rest.

Looking back at the first half of Pang Mailang's life, his real name is Pang Mingtao, born in 1984 in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, his father is called Pang Dehuai, his mother is called Zhang Qingmei, and he has an older brother.
After becoming popular, Pang Mingtao changed his name to Joseph Pang Mai Lang, claiming to be a native of Taiwan.
He gave up his parents, gave up his hometown, and the inferiority and dissent in his bones made him desperately want to get rid of the earthy taste of his birth and make himself look foreign and international.
This sense of disapproval should be related to Pang Mingtao's experience as a teenager. As a young man, he did not feel the warmth of his hometown, had no friends, only cows to accompany him, and was often bullied because of his thin body.
Later, he devoted himself to music, closed himself off, did not interact with people, and did not do farm work. In that simple place, his behavior undoubtedly became an outlier in the village, and was looked at differently, which may also be one of the reasons for his illness.
Pang Mai Lang's early years
Later, because of the failure of the middle school entrance examination, Pang Mingtao went to the Vocational and Technical Education Center, where he stayed for about half a year, and then transferred to Xi'an Foreign Affairs College. During his time at the school, his writing skills began to shine and he was praised.
After graduation, Pang Mingtao went to KTV to work. There, he fell in love with Michael Jackson and aspired to be "China's most international singer."
With this energy, a few years later he embarked on the road to a foreign land alone, becoming a north drifter, eager to find a way out of the future in this bustling city.

For a long time, the internet café became his shelter in the big city. When your pockets are empty, you can spend the night in the park.
Probably God still took care of him, and in 2013, he gave Pang Mingtao a chance to turn over. At that time, Shrimp Mi Music launched the "Light Seeking Project", which was intended to support a group of talented music newcomers. So under the company's expensive packaging, Pang Meilang and "My Skate Shoes" appeared.

Jia Zhangke once tweeted about this song: "'My Skate Shoes' made me cry. Time, time will give me the answer, how accurate loneliness. ”

Since then, on the surface, Pang Mailang has played a beautiful turnaround battle, but the great moisture behind this explosion is also the reason why he cannot gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.

At the beginning of 2015, at the "Annual Inventory of Independent Musicians" of Shrimp Mi, the highly controversial Pang Mailang was listed on the "Top Ten Newcomers of the Year", and the skateboard shoes were also awarded the "Annual TOP20 Golden Songs".
The reason for the controversy is that in addition to the debunking of the woven identity lies, there is also the moisture of the song. At that time, its company found a professional arranging team for the song "My Skate Shoes" and spent 3 days recording the song.

In the hundreds of different tunes sung by Pang Mai Lang, the final version was cut together. Moreover, they also hired sailors and danzi players to create momentum with the relevant words of the song, which created the popularity of "My Skate Shoes".
Therefore, Pang Mailang and "My Skate Shoes" are essentially a successful case of network marketing, and the composition of marketing greatly exceeds the talent of the singer himself.
The success of marketing allowed the company to launch a money-making business performance as desired, but what was unexpected was that the star who had just been popular with the company turned around and unilaterally terminated his contract and ran away.
In this regard, Pang Mingtao said that the company had previously cheated his id card on the grounds of signing procedures, and also sent several big men to "protect" him, which looked like another kind of disguised surveillance of himself. And after he was on fire, the company let him live in the basement.

The company said that Pang Mingtao repeatedly refused the activities and interviews arranged by the company, and even went to pick up the activities in his personal name.
They think that someone is behind the scenes instigating and instructing him to do so, and they will use legal means to deal with the instigators behind the scenes. But for Pang Mingtao, the company still hopes that he can turn back, hoping that they can effectively communicate with each other and solve this problem.
But until the end, the grassroots rising star did not look back. In this regard, the company that paid him too much liquidated damages could only take him to court.

Before he could gain a firm foothold, Pang Mingtao, who left the company with a body full of controversy, immediately fell into a career trough, so he began to cooperate with the agent Bai Xiao to develop.
Bai Xiao also had a dream of being a singer, who had worked in the recording studio and factory. He is younger than Pang Mingtao, but he knows the rules of survival of this society better.
Compared with this simple musician like white water, Bai Xiao is more like a scheming businessman. Perhaps it was this similar experience that brought the two together.
Pang Mingtao and Bai Xiao
With the heat of skateboarding shoes, the two launched a national tour. At the beginning, there were fans who paid for it, and at most they could earn more than 200,000 yuan a month.
But gradually, fewer people paid the bill, and a concert could only sell a dozen or twenty tickets. Under the cost of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands, the performance of insufficient traffic is a huge loss-making business.

As the heat slowly returned to zero, Pang Mingtao's appearance fee also changed from tens of thousands to thousands, and the material conditions also dropped visibly.
In order to catch a performance in Beijing, they had to leave in the early morning with a limited budget, and they had to take a 16-hour hard sleeper to Beijing, and they could only stay in a hotel under 400 yuan. The expenditure in each aspect must be saved and saved, and the few performances that are left to make ends meet must be forced.
At the end of 2019, Pang Mingtao's self-created skateboard shoe brand sonartime was launched, and he also sent a Weibo message saying that "everything has cracks, that is where the light comes in" to show his return.
But the comments at the bottom like, but a few hundred people, reflect the cold reality - Pang Mingtao has no heat to bo.

Although Pang Mingtao still insists on making music, without marketing and packaging, coupled with his limited talent, he can no longer make a second hit.
Perhaps he wanted to have a place in the music world too much to respond to the controversies of the past, or perhaps he coveted the scenery of the past, Pang Mingtao's spirit gradually became unbearable and began to collapse.
Mental abnormalities may have been signified when he was twenty-three or four years old. The unhappiness of childhood made him closed, trapping himself in his inner world.
This anomaly began to manifest himself in his youth, and he often talked to himself or suddenly laughed when he worked in a restaurant.
After becoming obsessed with Michael Jackson on KTV, he brought Michael into his own world and embraced it as a believer. He desperately wants to catch up with Michael and become an international superstar.
After struggling at the grassroots level for several years, he suddenly became popular, allowing him to see the road closest to faith. But the immediate criticism pulled him into the trough, shattered the glory, and dealt him a heavy blow until he fell ill.
At first, the wind of Pang Mingtao's illness was heard because of an article. He sprinkled thousands of words and wrote down his thoughts that he thought he could better build the motherland.
Shortly after he handed the article over to the service staff at the Ningqiang high-speed rail station, his father and the village party secretary received a call from the police station asking them to pick up their son.
For the cause of his son's illness, Pang Dehuai's old couple is not very clear. But they believe that in addition to the pressure on the business environment, it is also related to the agent Bai Xiao.
They believed that Bai Xiao was hurting his son, not really helping him, and called Bai Xiao a very cunning person.
Bai Xiao and Pang Mailang
The reason why Bai Xiao will be considered this by the pang family is mainly because after Pang Mingtao was discharged from the hospital, he repeatedly broadcast live under his banner, and even secretly said that he hoped to obtain social donations to pay for Pang Mingtao's follow-up treatment.

And some netizens believe that from some videos, it can be seen that Bai Xiao often habitually touches his ears, looks at the oblique below, and suspects that he has prepared a manuscript in advance, selling miserably in the name of Pang Mailang, and making his own money, which coincides with the statement of the Pang family and his wife. But what the truth is, only Bai Xiao knows it in his heart.
Although Pang Mingtao repeatedly denied that he was ill and was very resistant to going to the hospital, doctors determined that his mental state was already a big problem, and the more he delayed, the more serious it became.
For their son's various resistances, the Pang family couple has no choice, rather than getting ahead, they hope that their son can be healthy and normal.
The loneliness on the road to chasing dreams, the ups and downs after becoming popular, and the huge sense of falling from the clouds crushed this arrogant and inferior youth.
Lost in the world of dreams, he crawled forward with scars all over his body, vowing to open up his own world, even if the world was already out of reach.
We are all Pang Mingtao, but don't live as Pang Mingtao. You can chase dreams, but don't fall into the road of no return on the road of dreams. I hope that this young boy of the Pang family can get out of the dream as soon as possible and look back at his parents who have paid everything and are dying of old age.
