In April 2019, one individual ranked third on the 13th Writers List with a royalty of 15 million, second only to Liu Cixin and Yu Hua.
However, as a tens of millions of best-selling authors, his work is controversial.
Some people say that he has no writing to speak of, and his writing level is not even as good as that of a junior high school student;
Some people say that he is a pseudo-Wenqing, and what he writes is some poisonous chicken soup that does not change the soup...
And when he himself faced these doubts and ridicules, he laughed and laughed at himself generously: "I am a wild writer, I don't know literature, but I know storytelling." ”
Indeed, in his pen, we can read all kinds of jianghu stories that can be drunk.
There are folk singers who work hard to sell songs and use the money they earn to help poor mountainous areas build schools;
There are veterans who desperately bring their own materials to volunteer in the disaster area;
There are disabled boys in wheelchairs, still going to Antarctica, measuring the world with their own will...
And the person who told us these warm stories was the handsome big ice. He is an unruly man who does not live in the eyes of others, but only lives in the present.
Speaking of big ice, many post-80s may not be unfamiliar with him.
At the beginning of the millennium, Shandong Satellite TV's ace variety show "Sunshine Fast Lane" made Da ice a household name host.
Popular stars such as Yuan Quan, Flower Band, He Jie, Zhang Jie, Jolin Tsai and Huang Bo have all been on his show. At that time, Da Bing's fame could be compared with Wang Han and He Jiong.
It is said that no one can succeed casually, and Dabing can have such a high popularity because he once really dared to break through and survive.
At the age of 18, Da Bing, who studied oil painting, was not willing to paint for the rest of his life, so he boldly went to a local TV station to apply for a host position.
At that time, he could not speak Mandarin, and his thick Shandong accent once attracted ridicule and attacks from others.
Perhaps it was Dabing's courage and persistence that impressed the recruiters, and he was unexpectedly admitted.
However, the job assigned to him is not the host, but the drama that sells box lunches. In this way, Daibing started from the lowest level, during which time he worked as an artist, camera assistant, photographer, editor and location director.
After two and a half years of tempering, Da Bing finally got a chance to host.
With its extremely fast speaking speed and different hosting styles, coupled with the sunny and handsome image, Da Bing suddenly left a deep impression on the audience.
However, everyone who struggles their own has experienced the pain of being beaten by life's fancy.
In order to do a good job in the show, in order to maintain high ratings, Da Bing said that the pressure was particularly high at that time, and he was tired twice to vomit blood directly on the stage, and his physical condition was worrying.
So, starting in 2003, Daiice set himself a goal: to do only one show a year.
"I have other life to juggle, I can't put all my eggs in the same basket," he said. Only doing one show a year can make the show relatively perfect, and it will not delay me from doing other things. ”
On days when there is no work, what does Daiice like to do the most?
He often did not carry a bank card, did not carry a wallet, just bought a one-way ticket, and then flew from Shandong to Sichuan to start his backpacker life.
Da Bing said: "Travel is the most romantic wandering." ”
Since his college days, he has been selling paintings while wandering, selling songs and moving forward. From Jinan to Dunhuang, the underground passages of many cities have the figure of big ice.
As the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days.
Fast forward to 2008, which is known as the disaster year of Chinese television.
Affected by earthquakes, snow disasters and Olympic broadcasts, many television stations have not been able to operate normally, resulting in many programs falling into a difficult situation.
In this year, the ace program "Sunshine Fast Lane" hosted by Da ice also officially announced the suspension of broadcasting.
During this time, the ice fell silent for several years, and no one knew what he had experienced.
It wasn't until not long ago, when Daiice recalled that time on the Internet, the audience knew that the big ice was so depressed.
He said: "After the show stopped, I didn't have a chance to host on the stage. The monthly salary is only 500 yuan, so poor that he can't even pay the heating fee, and his life is particularly bad. ”
In order to survive, Daigo finally had to resign and was forced to start changing careers.
Maybe he was tired of the endless overtime life in his heart, or maybe he always had the blood of freedom and romance flowing in his bones, and after losing his job, Da bing did not look for a job again, but seriously picked up the wandering dream of the past.
He earned money for his travels by selling singing, and has since become a real backpacker.
In a mudslide, Da Bing's fingers and middle fingers were broken, and he could no longer play the guitar, only the tambourine;
During a snowy mountain climb, Da bing's heel was frozen, and he directly cut off a piece of meat, and from then on he had to wear boots to keep warm every autumn...
In this way, Da bing has traveled to many places in the past ten years and encountered countless various stories.
Over time, the great ice, which was extremely rich in inner emotions, came up with the idea of recording these stories.
In 2013, Daiice published his first book, "They Are the Happiest.".
However, no one expected that Da ice's debut work actually sold 800,000 copies in one go, which made the fledgling him suddenly jump into the ranks of super best-selling authors.
Since then, Daiice has maintained the frequency of publishing one book a year, setting a myth that seven consecutive books have become bestsellers.
According to incomplete statistics, the books written by Da bing have now sold more than 80 million copies, becoming a healing book sought after by young people.
However, there are not many people who are red, and the big ice that is popular again cannot escape the fate of being attacked and criticized by people.
Someone scolded his work: "Big Ice has come out to cheat money again!" The book he wrote was poisonous chicken soup, which had no nutritional value at all! ”
Someone hacked the bar he opened: "It's a black shop, specializing in pit money!" ”
Others say he's temperamental, cold-tempered, foul-tempered, and likes to put up shelves...
In the face of these controversies, there is a highly praised answer:
"I don't like Daibing's work, but I like his hard-working attitude."
In fact, those who really know About Big Ice say that he is a buddy who is full of morality. Over the years, Da bing has indeed silently written its own jianghu story with practical actions.
Da Bing once published a public article on the social platform: "If you are my reader, you have just graduated and are facing a dilemma, I will pay some rent for you, and I should respond to the emergency first."
If you are my reader and are trying to earn tuition, I will help you to make a little bit of it up, and I hope that your path to study will be less sad..."
Then, Da Bing hit the money on the cards of those in need...
In addition, Da ice has bars in places such as Lhasa, Lijiang and Sichuan, and they have become the habitat of many wandering singers. Among them, the resident singer Lao Xie, unfortunately has laryngeal cancer lesions, cannot make a sound, and requires high surgical expenses.
Da Bing did not abandon him, took him everywhere to seek medical treatment, and comforted him: "Brother, if you have a bite of food, you will not be hungry!" ”
There is also a 15-year-old boy who unfortunately died of leukemia, and before he died, he had a wish to compose the lyrics he wrote.
Therefore, when the child's parents found Da Bing, Da Bing did not say a word, and gathered Cheng Fangyuan and others to record these songs into singles, all of which were transmitted to the Internet for free for the world to listen to...
Over the years, In the course of walking, Da Bing has encountered too many touching stories such as these.
He said: "I just want to tell those beautiful stories to the readers, to convey a kind of kindness to the readers, to tell people that this is also the right way to open life." ”
Yes, in our current era of shrouded in hostility, many times we are too eager to make quick profits, so that we forget the kindness, and often ignore the feelings of the people around us.
At this time, reading the warm stories recorded in the Great Ice Book may make us more confident that the world will eventually be redeemed by love and tolerance.
Looking back at the 40 years that Da ice has traveled, from being a popular host to being hidden by the snow, from 500 to tens of millions of best-selling authors per month, his life is also a few ups and downs, and the bitterness can be imagined.
However, no matter how life changes, Da ice always believes that there are really people in this world who are living the life you want.
So, he boldly went forward, from a well-behaved popular host to a free and uninhibited prodigal son.
Today's big ice, while facing nine to five, while wandering the world, he has long lived into the envy of many people.
However, perhaps having suffered too much questioning and attack, Dai-bing has publicly stated more than once: "I hate the kind of trip that goes away the most!" ”
In Daibing's view, travel is a part of life, but it is not an all-encompassing disease. Those who want to gain a new life by giving up the life in front of them are cowardly.
Escape can not solve the fundamental problems, we can only find a balance in a pluralistic world, in order to let life continue a virtuous circle.
