The father of rock and roll fundraising tour for the Asian Games, 60 years old to find a 28-year-old girlfriend, his life has not been tossed enough. Let him spread wilderness in the snow.
The first part, set off a rock 'n' roll frenzy
In 1987, cui Jian, the father of rock and roll, left the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe and became a freelancer, without his previously fixed salary, without food subsidies, and with a suit and tie, he could not follow the song and dance troupe around playing his trumpet.
But he had more time to create, and in order to survive, he often took his guitar to big hotels and restaurants to perform, so that he could barely survive, and it was said that he could earn $83 a month when he was good, and he had no food when he was bad.
During this time, many audio and video companies across the country were recording "Nothing" for some other singers to sing but could not sing that taste. After this song was transmitted to Japan by other singers, news came from Japan, such a good song was sung too badly, how can I not let Cui Jian sing?
Cui Jian was young
In 1988, the China Travel Audio-Visual Publishing House took out 150,000 yuan to record a new album for Cui Jian, "Rock on the New Long March Road", which was very popular in the market, and was also released overseas, Cui Jian became famous for a while, became a rock idol, Cui Jian began to perform in Europe, foreigners marveled that in addition to Peking Opera, acrobatics, there was also modern rock music in China, Cui Jian's songs were very popular with young people at that time, the concert hall was often filled with rough resistance and crackling sounds, when Cui Jian and his orchestra were leaving, young men and women shouted. Asking for another one, they kept beating their hands, stepping on the floor with their feet, dancing, throwing away Coke jars, their youth was cathartic here, their youth was enchanted here...
A red cloth
In 1989, Cui Jian held two concerts in the Concert Hall of the Beijing Exhibition Center, the concert was very successful, the ticket was speculated to 50 yuan a piece, which can be described as unprecedented, so cui Jian was invited to participate in music performances in Britain and France and other countries. It has created a worldwide reputation for mainland rock, letting foreigners know that we not only have Peking Opera, acrobatics, but also modern rock music.
The second part, raising 1 million yuan for the Asian Games, was widely popular during the national tour
Cui Jian raised 1 million yuan for the Asian Games, which was a huge amount of money at the time, he was the first superstar in the mainland to raise funds for the Asian Games, and Cui Jian became the third artist to raise funds after Zhang Mingmin and Fei Xiang.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the ice and snow have not yet melted, the cold hit people, in order to raise 1 million, Cui Jian came to the Beijing Workers' Gymnasium early, looking at the 120 horns set up on the stage, Cui Jian was full of energy, and he will start the rock on the new Long March Road from here.
From Beijing to Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan, all the way south, the concert achieved unprecedented success, Chinese and foreign media rushed to report, and fans also enthusiastically donated money for the Asian Games. He put it personally into practice and pushed rock music forward in our country.

Rock King
The third part, the king who is drifting away, continues to spread wilderness on the snow as he gets old
As the hong Kong and Taiwan pop music frenzy hit, rock and roll gradually declined, and fewer and fewer people paid attention to it, and Cui Jian later married and had a daughter, and then divorced again. It is difficult to come up with the original classics in music, so his music market is shrinking day by day, it is no longer the courage of the year, occasionally serving as a guest or judge in variety shows or music programs, and now at the age of 60, he has a new relationship, he and his 28-year-old girlfriend are playing outside, and intimate hugs are also exposed by the media. Emotionally, he is still the hot-blooded rock youth of that year.
Cui Jian and his girlfriend
Musically, he has not given up on exploration, he is still moving forward, and the new song "Flying Dog" has caused controversy as soon as it was launched, presenting a polarized review.
Song
Musician Song Ke said: You Uncle Cui or you Uncle Cui, old Cui new song, give jin!
Some other netizens have objections to Cui Jian's new song, thinking that it is not good, the taste is not right, in fact, "Flying Dog" also sings the confusion and loss of every modern person in the digital age, with a realistic critical spirit, everyone is actually wrapped up in the wave of information, addicted to electronic information for too much time, the work "Tengu" calls on everyone to walk out of the gap in the information age, go to nature to breathe fresh air, which has a deep humanistic care, people come to this world on the one hand to enjoy the dividends of the modern information age, on the one hand, they are bound So sometimes we have to break through the shackles like a tengu and seek a more natural, comfortable, and healthy state of life. In that sense, it's a song that's 10 years ahead of its time.
