Zang Tianshuo was born in Beijing in 1964 as a child who grew up in the authentic Genxia Hutong of the Imperial City.
His father was a chemical factory worker, his mother was an English teacher,
The life of a family of three is not good, but it is also worry-free.
Zang's father was once a member of the song and dance troupe, but he was forced to leave his job in order to live.
He poured all his musical dreams into his son.
When Zang Tianshuo was four years old, his father gritted his teeth and bought a second-hand piano.
He pressed his son into a chair.
Since then, Zang Tianshuo has been forced by his father to accompany music every day.
After studying for two years, his father found him a professional music teacher to learn piano.
As a piano boy from an early age, he laid a good musical foundation in his childhood.
However, in this music-filled home, there are still parental quarrels,
When he was 13 years old, his parents divorced.
Since then he has been living with his father.
Later, his father found him a young mother,
The contradiction between father and son is getting deeper and deeper, and meeting is a quarrel.
The failure of the parents' marriage intensified the rebellion in Zang Tianshuo's bones.
Originally, when he was 17 years old, he was admitted to the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe.
But he gave up the opportunity to turn right and went out to form a band on his own.
With a bunch of poor brothers playing music, looking for performance opportunities everywhere.
In 1984, Zang Tianshuo had not yet mixed up any famous people.
Cui Jian released "Rock on the New Long March Road" and kicked open the door of Chinese rock.
Zang Tianshuo was deeply attracted to rock music, and he entered Cui Jian's band with superb keyboard skills.
Started following a group of big brothers to start a rock tour.
At that time, Zang Tianshuo was called Xiao Zang by Cui Jian, and Liu Xiaosong in the band was still young.
At the same time, Dou Wei, Ding Wu, Zhang Chu, etc. all began to walk out of the hutong.
The new rock that began in Beijing is on the rise.
During the time when Zang Tianshuo was with his eldest brother, he began to try to create,
His musical debut was called "The Prayer of the Heart", and at that time he was not a little arrogant,
Even for the music theory is not comprehensive enough, he works while working as a keyboard player,
At the same time, while looking for teachers to learn and sound, constantly enrich themselves.
During the time when Zang Tianshuo was still Xiao Zang, he was completely immersed in music creation.
That "Friend" was also a song from that time, but it was released many years later.
It was also during this time that Zang Tianshuo met many friends who made music in the Beijing circle.
And Black Panther, Tang Dynasty and other bands are very familiar,
He also became friends with Ge You, Liang Tian and other Actors in the Beijing circle,
He was enthusiastic and bold, and slowly changed from Xiao Zang to Zang Brother.
During this time, Zang Tianshuo has become a little famous in the circle,
Both the music creation and the keyboard have been recognized, but they have not become popular,
But his performances continued, and he often performed abroad.
Until 1995, he released his solo music album "My Decade",
I made a summary of my ten-year road to my musical dreams,
The album's title song is "Friends."
This song can be called the golden song of the nineties,
Popular lyrics, simple melodies, slightly vicissitudes of the voice,
Sings about the friendship between men as slightly sad.
This song was originally written by Zang Tianshuo to satirize his friend for abandoning him when he was in difficulty.
It also happens to show that those years of righteousness occupied an absolute place in his life.
Zang Tianshuo has always been very popular in the circle, he is bold and moralistic,
Never let friends suffer losses, even if they are difficult, they must pull friends,
When we don't have money, we cook noodles together, and when we have money, we go to the restaurant together.
After the release of this album, Zang Tianshuo began to become popular,
Advertising endorsements and commercial performances have come and gone, and his wealth has doubled,
At this time, he changed from Zang Brother to Zang Ye, still taking care of a group of brothers around him.
Zang Tianshuo never let his friends pay money when he went out to eat,
Every New Year's Festival, I carry a lot of red envelopes on my body,
Most of the people who make music are poor, and he often makes excuses to help his brothers.
At that time, Xu Wei was not yet popular, he came to Beijing from Xi'an to make music,
Persisted for many years is still not recognized, the mood is getting lower and lower,
Gradually, he developed depression, severe to some amnesia.
His wife Yuan Feng brought him back from Beijing to his hometown of Xi'an.
She called Xu Wei's former friends one by one, hoping that they would come to visit him.
I hope they can help Xu Wei cheer up.
These friends were all indifferent, only Zang Tianshuo drove a car to pull a group of people,
They lived directly in Xu Wei's house,
I set up an instrument and started playing, rehearsing in the yard every day.
Xu Wei, who was originally depressed to the point of not eating or drinking, began to react when he heard the music.
Slowly he nodded to the rhythm and re-immersed himself in the music.
Zang Tianshuo saw that Xu Wei's condition had improved, so he returned to Beijing with a group of brothers.
Xu Wei remembered those days of drifting north, and he picked up his spirit and did not want to give up music.
Decided to return to Beijing again to give himself a chance.
After Xu Wei returned this time, luck also returned,
He signed to a record label and released the album Time Walk,
The album sold half a million copies.
Xu Wei began to blush, he recovered his memory, returned to his previous state,
However, he did not remember everything his wife Yuan Feng had done for him.
He even felt that the two did not have a common language and wanted to drive his wife back to her hometown.
At the celebration banquet of this album, Zang Tianshuo came over to congratulate the good brothers,
He asked why Yuan Feng didn't come,
When Xu Wei told him to let his wife go home,
Zang Tianshuo punched Xu Wei in the jaw.
He dragged Xu Wei to see the video they had filmed in Xi'an.
At that time, in order to cheer him up, Yuan Feng took care of their group of men every day.
If it wasn't for Yuan Feng, there would have been no comeback at all.
After being taught a lesson by Zang Tianshuo's punch, Xu Wei suddenly woke up,
Leave his wife behind and apologize, and stay in Beijing to chase his dreams.
Zang Tianshuo has always had a clear sense of grievances, and he manages things that others dare not take care of.
He dared to say what others did not dare to say.
After Dou Wei and Faye Wong divorced that year, they were scribbled by Zhuo Wei,
Angry, he went to the newspaper to find Zhuo Wei's theory, but Zhuo Wei did not dare to appear.
Later, Dou's car that burned Zhuo Wei under the only anger was taken away by the police.
The incident was so big that the major newspapers published the relevant news on all sides.
Many people think that Dou Wei's spirit is wrong, and the major media newspapers write very exaggerated,
At that time, many friends in the circle did not want to cause trouble, plus Dou Wei really had a strange temper,
Only Zang Tianshuo stood up and spoke up for his good brother.
Even many years later, he experienced the disaster of imprisonment, and he was no longer red.
Dou Wei also became an old man with thinning hair, and was photographed taking the subway.
Being ridiculed again for not having a good time, Zang Tianshuo is still not afraid of causing trouble,
Still stand up for him and anger netizens.
Zang Tianshuo has done his best to be kind to his friends,
Therefore, when abandoned by friends, you can sing the heartache and vicissitudes in "Friends".
But Zang Tianshuo also has sorry people,
That's his popular rock singer Stringer Rile.
Originally, Stringer Rile was also a north drifter,
She and her boyfriend formed a knight band in Inner Mongolia,
Unfortunately, it has been drifting north for many years without a day out of the beginning, and even once slept in the warehouse.
At that time, they had seen Zang Tianshuo's scene,
And ask the eldest brother to point out one or two, at that time Zang Tianshuo was a god-like existence for them.
Later, Stringer Rile's boyfriend became addicted to drugs and returned to his hometown.
The two broke up, the band disbanded, and Stringer Rile insisted on it in Beijing.
At this time, Zang Tianshuo band had a drummer also from Inner Mongolia,
He told Zang Tianshuo about Stringer Rile.
Zang Tianshuo was very impressed with this girl who played bass,
So he recruited her into his band as a bassist,
It was then that Stringer Rile finally had a stable income.
Soon after, Zang Tianshuo gave her half of the "Mountain Song Like Spring River Water" that he wanted to sing.
At the Guangxi Folk Song Festival, Stringer Rile became popular with this song,
Became the first female rock singer in China.
Next, Zang Tianshuo personally produced an album for her.
She was brought to the major stages and even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
At that time, Zang Tianshuo and Stringer Rile were almost inseparable,
The two performed together, and they returned home together after work.
They went from co-workers to lovers.
But at that time, Zang Tianshuo also had a girlfriend named Li Mei.
When Stringer Rile learned of this and questioned him,
Zang Tianshuo explained that the two were only brother and sister.
Stringer Rile, who is deeply in love, believes that in fact, the two do not get along well,
Zang Tianshuo loves to drink, and after getting drunk, he will lose his temper,
Sometimes she would even beat her, and she endured all this.
But soon after the girl became pregnant,
Zang Tianshuo said that he should get married first, and divorce when the child is born and finish the household registration.
He also promised to marry Stringer rile immediately if she became pregnant.
Later, she was really pregnant, but Zang Tianshuo did not want to divorce,
He persuaded Stringer rile to beat up the child.
By this time the two had been together for three years.
Stringer Rile was also deceived for three years, and she was angry and went directly to Mrs. Zang for a showdown.
At this time, Li Mei had already given birth to a daughter,
She was not at all surprised by the existence of Stringer Rile, a little third,
Even say that you are not the first, nor the last,
Take care of your own problems.
Stringer Rile was completely disappointed at this time, she beat the child,
He broke up with Zang Tianshuo and quit the band.
The two had nothing to do with each other after that.
Later, she gradually came out of the emotional wound, and only said this relationship in the interview.
She used that person to refer to Zang Tianshuo the whole time, without mentioning his name.
But everyone knew who that person was.
Zang Tianshuo, who has always been serious about love and righteousness, has never given Stringer Rile a word,
Let her suffer all the grievances, until his death, he found this former lover through his friends,
Solemnly apologized to her from her hospital bed.
In addition to this love affair, Zang Tianshuo's jianghu righteousness eventually sent him to prison,
The accident originally stemmed from his bar called Friends.
In 2002, Zang Tianshuo was invited to serve as the spokesperson of Langfang Women's Street.
He set up a shop nearby to open a bar.
He once had two bars in Beijing, but both because they were too luxurious.
Always love to entertain friends, one after another lost money and went out of business.
This time, Zang Tianshuo found a person named Changqing to help him manage the bar.
At the same time, there is also a partner called Dabao.
Later, Zang Tianshuo found that Dabao did not actually contribute funds.
On the contrary, he also raised funds outside with his own fame.
Zang Tianshuo, who could not bear to be deceived by his friends, forced Dabao to withdraw his shares,
At one point, he also made trouble with the public security bureau.
But Dabao could not swallow this breath after withdrawing his shares,
Opened a bar near a friend's bar,
He also often goes to the store to make trouble.
Changqing then called Zang Tianshuo to ask for instructions on whether to completely solve this matter.
Zang Tianshuo verbally agreed, but he thought they were just about to fight,
Deal with it according to the rules of the jianghu, and as a result, you don't want to make a human life.
After this incident, Changqing hid, and Zang Tianshuo also provided him with a place to live.
It was not until the incident gradually subsided that Evergreen began to mix with society again.
As a result, in 2008, Evergreen was arrested again for fighting and fighting.
This time, in order to get a good performance, he confessed the murder case of six years ago.
At the same time, he also gave the mastermind behind the scenes, Zang Tianshuo.
Soon Zang Tianshuo was arrested on suspicion of gathering a crowd to fight.
At first he was full of hope, thinking that this matter should not be big,
I felt like I could let it out in three days.
Three days later, he persuaded himself for almost a week,
As a result, a week, a month passed, until the court opened and he was sentenced to six years in prison.
The news of Zang Tianshuo's imprisonment shocked the entertainment industry.
He changed from a big brother in the circle to a black big guy, and his career was ruined.
At this time, his youngest son had just been born, less than two months old.
Zang Tianshuo's wife visits the prison every month to tell him about her son's recent situation.
At first, Zang Tianshuo was very uncomfortable in prison,
Every day the will is tortured and even suicidal thoughts occur.
But this prison life is also a time that makes him want to open up completely.
He advised himself that the so-called 'open' word was horizontal and vertical,
To live without heart and lungs, to live for the sake of living.
He began to write letters to his son, and through writing letters he fulfilled the responsibility of a father,
He resumed his musical composition and took an active part in the prison literary and artistic activities.
After being detained for nearly 5 years, Zang Tianshuo was released from prison early because of his good performance.
He thought his career had collapsed.
But the friendship he had saved over the years helped him.
When Zang Tianshuo had just been released from prison and was still a tainted artist,
Comedian Li Qi invited him to his new drama launch,
Friends in the music industry invited him to write songs.
The record label intends to create a new album for him.
Zang Tianshuo also appeared on the talk show, and did not shy away from his experience in prison.
It also uses itself as a negative teaching material.
At this time he has been as two people as before, peaceful and gentle,
There was no arrogance of Zang Ye at all, and at the same time he began to cultivate Buddhism.
Actively do charity and sing songs created in prison to everyone.
However, Zang Tianshuo experienced five years of imprisonment,
When he completely changed a person, fate did not give him a chance to change his mind.
In 2018, five years after his release from prison, he was diagnosed with liver cancer.
During the treatment, Zang Tianshuo refused to visit all his friends.
Quietly walked through the last part of his life.
It was not until Zang Tianshuo's memorial service that the outside world saw the style of this big brother again.
Literary and artistic friends from all walks of life all came to see them off,
Ge You, Liang Tian, and Cui Jian appeared one by one, which was comparable to a solemn award ceremony.
Friends also pulled up banners outside with fans and sent him all the way.
In the end, Zang Tianshuo quietly left with his "Friends" and the story of a lifelong friend.
