recently, in Shandong TV The recording scene of the sound of sounds of nature, Zhao Zhiyuan with a watermelon head and a guitar, shocked the whole audience with his singing. He was not a professional singer, but he sang to the audience every day. He had no stage but broad square.
Zhao Zhiyuan is a wandering singer. Like most of the people in this group, he was unsettled, wandering around; the occasional hustle and bustle had to endure long loneliness; being sought after, often encountered cold.
common wandering singers in street and subway passages such as Beijing and Shanghai are also beginning to appear in Ji'nan. Recently, journalists visited public places such as Quancheng Square, Honglou square and so on, looking for wandering singers in Ji'nan.
most of the young wandering singers were born in the poor family
Zhao Zhiyuan, 7 years old, when his father died, and his mother grew up by a small income from a wood factory. In junior high school, Zhao Zhiyuan dropped out of school. Zhao Zhiyuan explained that on the one hand, he was forced by the pressure of life. On the other hand, he had no "fate" with his studies. After dropping out of school, Zhao Zhiyuan worked as a porter in a lumber mill, painted a bowl at a restaurant and worked in a factory, earning around 1000 yuan a month. In February of this year, he came to Ji'nan and began his wandering career.
Chen Feng was born in a poor peasant family in Cangshan County, Linyi. When his parents divorced at five, he was given to his father, but his father left home soon after the divorce, and Chen Feng had to live around with his old grandfather. Leather shoes, newspapers, shoes, and all kinds of odd jobs.
Jali has been stray for nearly ten years. Similar to Zhao Zhiyuan's life experience, Jali lost her parents from her childhood and lived with her grandparents. He was born in Xiping County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, Henan opera. She loved singing opera from childhood and had to raise her voice every day. Later, it was admitted to the Zhengzhou Oriental Art Institute. After graduation, he worked as a security guard and served as a waiter in order to maintain his livelihood.
Xie Shiguo is a farmer who has been in a technical secondary school for a year. During that time he contacted guitar and left school after a year. After that, he worked as a security guard, a construction worker, and a violin player. Several bands were formed as the lead singer, and later the band was disbanded because their other teammates were married and had children. In 2008, he began to walk on the street and become a wandering singer. He began to write and roam all over the world. He has been to more than 20 cities.
income instability has artificial livelihoods, some people dream of
day, the reporter found in the interview, in the Quancheng Square, Hong Lou square, harmony square and other large places, all the wandering singers appeared. Generally speaking, the performance of Quancheng Square is the largest. Chen Feng's performance in Quancheng Square, two hundred or three hundred people surrounded about three stories. During the half hour of Chen Feng's performance, almost twenty people threw money into his iron box, only a small amount, mostly one yuan or five yuan. In contrast, the vocalist's performance in the harmony square is much more cold, only a few passersby briefly stop to watch, throw a little coin or change into the guitar box, and do not cause a spectators.
why choose to be a wandering singer, Jali and Xie Shiguo say, for dreams, for freedom. Zhao Zhiyuan said, for dreams, for life.
most of the wandering singers love originality, and their themes are derived from their lives. "You can remember," Xie Shiguo wrote in "the teenager in dream". "The road when you came in, how confident you were at that time, and did not listen to the dissuade of your relatives. You know, there are people begging, losing their kind old beggars, losing innocent waves, people having cars and houses, and some people starving to death in the streets.
Jali is alone. "In this impetuous society, I am an alien, always dealing with art, and I find myself more and more like a normal person." "I just want everyone to hear my song," he said. "It would be better if we could inspire others and resonate." In contrast to
, Zhao Zhiyuan and Xie Shiguo have to consider the feelings of their families. The income of the wandering singers is very unstable, and Zhao Zhiyuan can earn up to two hundred or three hundred yuan a day, only a few tens of dollars when he is less, and he will send him home one thousand yuan a month. As a wandering singer in Ji'nan, Zhao Zhiyuan has never been afraid to say to his family that he just told his family that he was doing a good job in computer sales.
only four of them, Chen Feng, have married and become wandering singers. After all, for a disabled person, the income of wandering singers is pretty good. Chen Feng said he also wanted to stop wandering and live a stable life, but forced by life, he could not stop moving forward.
driven by city management is a common sense of belonging and does not want to be tied up
Jali says there are many reasons for wandering. On the one hand, I always wanted to go out and see the outside world. On the other hand, there is no sense of belonging no matter where they go. Jali's idea is very avant-garde, he said, the state should learn from foreign countries to the street artists
management measures, "such as the introduction of relevant laws and regulations, can be taxed to us, give us a legal status, do not drive us like a street mouse." Driven by the city tube, it's a common thing for a wandering singer. "I was caught six times a day. Now I'm very strict and sometimes I can only go out to sing after ten p. m.," Zhao Zhiyuan said.
Jali said he would not stop wandering, nor had he ever thought of buying a house, buying a car, getting a wife, or having children. Life is short, don't like to be tied up, do what you like.
Chen Feng is still wandering with his wife, and his wife is the strongest supporter of his journey. 13 years of performance experience, more than 3000 performances, nearly 700 towns, the leg less Chen Feng walked very far, constantly refreshed his record.
never thought when the stars like to sing
"singing
" this time, I didn't want to be red. I know I didn't have a professional training, I didn't have enough strength. I just wanted to exercise and listen to the comments of the professional judges. " Zhao Zhiyuan told reporters that he did not plan to take part in any shows. He just wanted to lay a solid foundation and sing better. Next, it's possible to sing in bigger cities, such as Beijing. Zhao Zhiyuan's favorite singer is Chen Chusheng. He says Chen Chusheng's voice is very clean. The two were also born in poor families and joined the draft. But Chen Chusheng became famous, but Zhao Zhiyuan was eliminated. Zhao Zhiyuan is very calm, in his view, this is a matter of course.
Chen Feng's popularity is very high, repeatedly reported by the media. He once participated in "Lu Yu's appointment", which can be regarded as a half "Star". But in his opinion, singing well and performing well is the most practical and serious thing.
Xie Shiguo is more realistic. He didn't want to be a star before, because he wanted freedom and freedom. Now we don't want to, because we want to be stable. Even if he stopped wandering, he would not give up his free singing life.
Ji'nan citizens most enthusiastic "people like to find me to talk to my troubles"
Jali for ten years, a lot of places: Wuhan, Changsha, Ji'nan, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Beijing, Shijiazhuang... "I have already regarded Ji'nan as my second hometown. Among the cities I have visited, Ji'nan residents are the most enthusiastic." Jali said. It has been six months since I left Ji'nan. I still have friends from Ji'nan who sent messages to him on QQ, saying, let's go back to Ji'nan. We miss you. "Half a year ago, the people of Ji'nan did not forget me. I am very moved."
recalled the experience in Ji'nan, Jali felt a lot. "Basically, every time the performance is finished, people will invite me to dinner. There are more water people and lots of bottles on the ground. Maybe there are passers who think I am selling mineral water.
Jali summed up the characteristics of the citizens he contacted, ranging from 18 to 35 years old. It can be roughly divided into three groups of people: one is that Jali sees his own shadow on him as they want to do and does not do when they are young; and the two is the office worker who is deeply affected by the pressure of work and the free life style of Jali. For the third kind of people, Jali is very helpless. "It's just some young people who have encountered setbacks in their work, or have been disappointed in love, and come to me to confide in them. I do not know these people at all, but when people regard me as a friend, I can only listen patiently. I am now a half psychologist. "
