I am not afraid of rain, wind and sun, hurt by the desert wind and sand, and let my heart be exposed to the sun to confess to you.
- Daolang, "Kashgar Garhu Yang"
14 March 2012, Hung Hom Sports Centre, Hong Kong.
The 10,400 fixed seats were full, and the 2,000 movable seats were also packed.
Hong Kong music fans, like the superstars who once created the "Hong Kong music atmosphere", waited for a mainland singer who came to visit.
The concert is on!
A middle-aged man wearing a duck-tongue hat slowly walked to the center of the stage, raised his arms, and greeted the audience in crappy Cantonese
- Hong Kong, how are you? Hello everyone, I'm Dao Lang!
The audience heard the words and "exploded" at once.
The entire Hung Hom Stadium was filled with shouts of "Dao Lang, Dao Lang", just as they warmly welcomed the "Tang Dynasty Band" eight years ago.
Dao Lang moistened his voice, and in addition to singing "Impulsive Punishment", "Lover", "The First Snow of 2002", etc., he also sang Beyond's "Gray Track", and sang many songs such as "Love is You and Me" with his apprentice Yunduo.
In the middle of the concert, Tan Yonglin took the stage and held Dao Lang's hand tightly.
After the "principal" ridiculed Dao Lang's poor Cantonese, the two brothers sang "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" arm in arm, and after the concert, they held hands and accepted the media interview.
Near the end of the concert, Dao Lang sang "Thank You" and triggered a chorus of the audience.
Because hong Kong audiences know that after this parting, I am afraid that I will never see Dao Lang again!
Sure enough, after Dao Lang sang "Thank You" and let his 13-year-old eldest daughter Yue Yue play a song "Consummation" on the violin, he "disappeared" while ending his tour!
Amorous parting from ancient wounds! The night before Dao Lang "disappeared", the night before leaving Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong entertainment industry has given this mainland singer enough respect: Tam Wing Lin set up a family banquet to entertain Dao Lang's family, many musicians in the Hong Kong music scene set up a celebration banquet for Dao Lang, and Jackie Chan bowed down to toast!
In this concert, the music returns to the most essential elements - simple, good, back to life!
This seems simple, but it is also the highest pursuit of music - Dao Lang has done it!
This man, who always wears a duck-tongue hat, is low-key, and is a little nervous in the face of the media, conquers the audience with practical actions and good music - Tan Yonglin intimately holds hands, Jackie Chan stammers to toast, and tens of thousands of music fans show their singing voices and wave their hands!
But why did such a popular singer "disappear"?
Who is to blame for Dao Lang's step of "disappearing"?
September 13, 2021.
Na Ying settled on a self-media platform and was ready to interact with netizens.
As a result, the netizens' messages directly made Na Ying unable to get off the stage: "I like Tian Zhen", "I like Daolang"...
At the same time, the media and self-media that smelled the breath of traffic quickly deeply picked up the grievances between Na Ying and Dao Lang, and the evaluation of Dao Lang by Wang Feng and Yang Kun and others, in order to "testify" - Dao Lang's "disappearance" was the result of the joint "sniping" of the Chinese music scene, of which Na Ying, Wang Feng and Yang Kun and others attacked in groups, "indispensable"!
Is this really the case?
In fact, Dao Lang's ending was not originally like this, and his "disappearance" was more related to his own life experience, life attitude, musical pursuit, and personality.
Next, listen to the analysis of the pickpocket sister one by one.
We turn the clock back to the 1970s, when Daolang was not called Daolang, but Luolin of Zizhong County, Sichuan.
Rowling's parents worked in the arts in the literary troupe, and his eldest brother formed a band to play rock and roll at an early age.
Originally, Rowling's parents envisioned letting their youngest son learn piano, but he was influenced by his eldest brother and began to play rock and roll.
My parents perform outside all year round, the brothers have fun at home, and rebellion grows like weeds.
When Lorraine was twenty years old, he brought back a girlfriend. The girl was in love and was known by Rowling, so Rowling half laughed and half ridiculed the big brother for wearing a "green hat".
This lit the "powder keg", and the eldest brother beat Up Rowling hard.
The result? Rollin ran away from home!
When the parents returned home, they were furious and beat up Lorraine's eldest brother. While the family was looking for Lorraine, Lorraine's eldest brother was killed in a car accident.
This incident became an eternal pain in Dao Lang's heart, and whenever he mentioned it, Dao Lang's heart was like a knife.
The family suddenly encountered such a change, the parents washed their faces with tears all day long, and Luo Lin was full of remorse.
After a few years of staying up like this, Lorraine ran away from home again.
From Sichuan to Guangzhou, from Hainan to Xi'an, Luo Lin was full of dust and spirit.
He is redeeming himself, redeeming himself for the sins of his youth; he is searching, looking for his own unattainable musical dreams.
But everything is so simple! In the journey of redemption, you are not afraid of gossip, but you cannot get rid of human feelings; on the road to dreams, you are not afraid of the wind and the sun, but you are always hurt by the desert.
Because of his love for Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, Luo Lin and his friends formed a band called "Scalpel", and finally everyone broke up.
When the heat wave of Hong Kong and Taiwan music swept through the Cantonese-speaking areas, Luo Lin went all the way south and touched a nose of ash; when the fire of rock music burned all over the mainland, Luo Lin went all the way to Xi'an to visit the "rock and roll cannons".
After a few years of tossing and turning, Rollin found nothing; looking around, it was desolate.
When the first snow came in 2002, Luo Lin sat on the bus in Urumqi and had mixed feelings: his parents were full of white hair, his wife and daughter were displaced from him, and his dreams were far away...
In his grief, Rollin used Daolang as a pen name to write his famous work - "The First Snow of 2002"!
In fact, before that, Dao Lang had already made a music album, which included many songs such as "Desert Love Song", "Silk Road Music Soul", "Silk Road Music Rhyme" and so on, but the sales were very bad, selling less than 2,000 copies.
But at this time, on April 11, 2010 (pay attention to the time point, it is quite important), the "Music Chart Ten Year Festival" organized by Light Media was held in Shenzhen.
In the end, four female singers of the new music forces were selected: Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying, Zhang Hang, and Wang Yunzhi; four male singers of the new music forces: Chen Chusheng, Wang Xiaokun, Lu Guangzhong, and Fang Datong; and the ten most influential music figures in the decade (Hong Kong and Taiwan): Faye Wong, Tao Zhe, Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Jolin Tsai, Sun Yanzi, Karen Mok, S.H.E, and Wang Lihong.
Scratch the point! Ten of the most influential musical figures in the past decade (mainland): Na Ying, Liu Huan, Sun Nan, Cui Jian, Wang Feng, Xu Wei, Yu Quan, Han Hong, Park Shu, __________________
Dao Lang's "First Snow of 2002" was released in 2004, can you fill in his name here?
So Dao Lang actually clarified, but will the media listen? Will netizens listen? Will Na Ying explain?
Since then, the event has selected the "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Decade".
Hong Kong and Taiwan: Lin Yilian, "At Least There Is You" (2000); Wang Lihong, "The Only" (2001); Karen Mok," "Love" (2002); Sun Yanzi's "Encounter" (2003); Lin Junjie's "Jiangnan" (2004); Tao Zhe's "Just Love You" (2005); Eason Chan's "Love Transfer" (2006); Cai Jianya and Zhang Zhenyue's "Miss is a Disease" (2007); Jay Chou's "Daoxiang" (2008); Jolin Tsai's "Flower Butterfly" (2009) ；
Mainland: Na Ying's Romance of Heartache (2000), Yu Quan's Deep Breath (2001), Sun Nan's Deliverance (2002), Sha Baoliang's Dark Fragrance (2003), Xu Wei's Once You (2004), Wang Feng's Blooming Life (2005), Yuan Quan's Lonely Flower (2006), Chen Chusheng's Has Someone Told You (2007), Zhang Liangying's Painting the Heart (2008), Zhou Bichang's Our Love (2009).
After reading this watch, who do you think Dao lang should replace?
"The First Snow of 2002" was fired in 2004, but Xu Wei's "Once Upon a Time You" was also a big fire, is it difficult to replace Xu Wei with a knife lang?
Therefore, when a judge later proposed to "make up" Daolang into the "most influential musical figure of the decade", Na Ying refused on the spot.
Although Geng Zhi Naying's speech is not good, it is also very reasonable - at that time, Daolang became popular overnight, and he could not use "ten years" to prove his influence in the Chinese music scene!
After Na Ying spoke, Wang Feng and Yang Kun spoke again, and eventually the controversy grew louder and louder, which continues to this day.
But we look at it with hindsight - the nine years that Daolang "disappeared" were not exactly the nine years when Na Ying, Wang Feng, and Yang Kun were "misunderstood"?
When the pickpocket sister has clearly sorted out the causes and consequences, do you think about it carefully?
Let's talk about Daolang, in 2004, after Daolang became popular through "A Snow in 2002", "Lover", and "Impulsive Punishment", for several years the audience did not know who Daolang was.
Why? Because he didn't want to show his face at all!
Do you think it is possible for a singer who does not want to show his face to win an award in the music world? More importantly, the musical scale of Daolang at that time was controversial: the lyrics of "Impulsive Punishment" were ambiguous, "Lover" was bold in description, and the lyrics of "Big Eyes" were indecent!
Therefore, this is an important reason why Daolang did not get mainstream recognition at that time, as well as the Spring Festival Gala.
Therefore, after Daolang changed his musical style, he helped his apprentice Yun Duo to the Spring Festival Gala behind his back, and he himself won the "Five One Project Award". The weight of this award, I am afraid that any music award can not be compared with it, right?
Now, do you still feel that Dao Lang is wronged?
Rebellious in childhood, wandering in middle age, after becoming famous, the dragon saw the beginning and did not see the end, and Daolang himself opened the distance with the public;
The musical style changes from bold and direct, to implicit and forbearance, to the vast artistic conception, and Daolang is also growing and progressing step by step;
Humble and low-key, do not care about fame and fortune, the media and netizens insist on pulling him to vanity fair, what is the intention?
How fortunate Daolang was, in that era of inflated musical dreams, he went around and "killed the siege"; in that era of singing for a lifetime, he created one classic song after another; in the impetuous Chinese music scene, he could not forget his original intention and adhere to his musical dreams and pursuits, is this not good?
Do you remember Pang Long, Tang Lei, and Wang Rong?
Do you still sing "Two Butterflies", "Lilacs", "I Am Not Huang Rong"?
Do you still miss the era of music in which a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought competed?
Dao Lang himself doesn't care, what do you care about for him?
Liking someone doesn't require that everything about that person fits their imagination.
We like Dao Lang, like his low profile, like his music, like his indifference.
Do we like to see Dao Lang come out and run around in Vanity Fair, or do we like to go to KTV to order his songs, and occasionally loop "West Sea Love Song" and "Love is You and Me" all night long?
If it is the former, you don't like Daolang at all, let alone Daolang!
From love like the sea to bodhi love, from lofty ideals to creeping dust, Daolang's ending was rewritten by himself.
—— It has nothing to do with Na Ying, Wang Feng, Yang Kun; it has nothing to do with you and me; it is only related to music, it has to do with himself!
A person in a lifetime, can be a long wind to see the end of the world, or it can be a river wide cloud low broken goose called the west wind.
Don't worry too much about others, only ask yourself whether your love is really true.
Like a singer, just listen to his songs.
This is the greatest respect for music and singers!
The times can make heroes, but also can make singers. As the saying goes, "A good wind, by virtue of its strength, sends me to the clouds", shi also, fate also; shi also, luck also.
Dao Lang became famous in the best era of the Chinese music scene, and "disappeared" in the worst era of the Chinese music scene, all of which was the result of the times.
It is said that in the past two years, Dao Lang has also released a new album, why hasn't anyone come out to "shout"?
Music is never a circle, it can't circle a real singer at all.
What is trapped is only you and me who are "too deeply affectionate".
The real singer is neither afraid of the wind and the sun, nor is he afraid of being hurt by the desert wind and sand, but will only use music to confess to you in the sun.
——Dao Lang's ending was rewritten by himself!
