In 2003, 32-year-old Daolang and his wife lived in a small shack of less than 10 square meters in a slum, leading an endless miserable life. At this time, he did not know that his success and distance were only one step away. As early as 1971, Daolang was not called Daolang. Daolang was born in a college of traditional Chinese medicine in Zizhong County, Sichuan Province. His father came to the hospital in a hurry, and the doctor asked him what name he should give the child. Dad wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My surname is Luo, and my wife's surname is Lin. Let's call her Luo Lin." In this way, the name Daolang randomly given to him by his father lasted for 33 years.

Daolang has a family of four. His parents work in the county art troupe, and his brother, who is five years older than him, is the troupe leader. Until one night in 2002, Daolang's life trajectory completely changed. At that time, there was heavy snow in the sky. Daolang and his friend were walking on the street. Suddenly his friend jumped out: "This is the first snow in 2002!" Daolang's side seemed to be struck by lightning.

Then he rushed home and composed "The First Snow in 2002" with tears in his eyes.

After that, Daolang quit his job and decided to fight for his immortal dream again.

He spent the rest of the year writing songs and shyly soliciting investment. Later, he said: "I was like a caged animal trying to attract tourists." In the end, it took me two years to write the song, and the investment came.

In 2004, the album "The First Snow in 2002" was officially released. At that time, Daolang estimated that the streets were full of people listening to this song, and no matter how difficult it was, tens of thousands of copies could be sold.

But God made a big joke, and he was wrong again.

Sold in quantity. Daolang guessed wrong.

This album has sold 2.7 million genuine copies and 10 million pirated copies.

In the Chinese music industry at that time, this was almost an astronomical figure.

With no help from any publicity, Daolang set sales records in China.

Overnight, from Xinjiang to Beijing, from cities to villages, from video stores to hair salons, Daolang's rough and hoarse voice echoed in the streets and alleys of China.

Later, Madon said: "How big is 'The First Snow of 2002'? If you walk on every street in Beijing, you will hear this song three or four times." 33 years old Daolang is extremely popular.

In 2006, Daolang once again took the Chinese music industry by storm with "Thank You" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". But there are a lot of red people.

In 2010, Daolang was supposed to be famous all the way, but he fell into trouble because of a game. When the light music list selected the "Top Ten Most Influential Singers", Daolang was selected.

However, as a judge, Naying used her veto power to eradicate Daolang. He said: "Daolang's songs have no music or beauty, and can only be sung by the peasant association!"

Haha! I wonder what Wang Jianlin will think when he hears this?

A stone stirs up thousands of people. When Na Ying fell down, many "musicians" suddenly appeared behind her and hit her.

"Daolang's music and lyrics are very ordinary," Wang said. "They are popular because people have listened to too many good songs. If they listen to these rough Internet songs, they will feel fresh."

Yang Kun asked Daolang: "What is this music called? He has Music?"

Yes, I think if these two people didn't speak up, they wouldn't be able to appear in the later "The Voice of China". I also want to ask everyone a question: Now that Teacher Yang Kun is singing loudly on the podium while drinking and selling goods, do you still remember what music is?

But there are also musicians and countless people who support Daolang. After all, a few "musicians" do not represent China's music industry, and it is not up to you to decide whether a song is good or not.

"If you don't like it, how old are you?"

Some people analyze that the reason why Dolang is not accepted by the mainstream has nothing to do with its profoundness and musical literacy. There are only two points. :

First of all, the great commercial success of Daolang, who has never received professional training, is a huge embarrassment to those mainland "musicians" who sing flashy songs but cannot sell them. .

Secondly, colleagues are enemies. In the final analysis, they enjoy the cake of "whose" and touch the interests of "whose".

In the end, Naying's apology and Daolang's withdrawal from the music scene calmed the storm of public opinion.

Faced with these doubts and criticisms, Daolang once said that he was very concerned about himself and what others thought of him, but Daolang never defended himself.

"None of this matters because we will all be forgotten," he said.

In this impetuous society that pursues fame and fortune, what Daolang cares most about is still the purest musical ideal.

So, he chose to return to Urumqi, Xinjiang, the starting point of his music career, at the peak of his music career.

Someone said: "Listening to Daolang's songs, I always feel that he is telling stories with tears in his eyes."

Yes, how many people can wander and sing all the way like Daolang? , crushing personal experiences and kneading them into songs, performing the most sincere and moving voice in the world.

Daolang, who is now 49 years old, has experienced a lot along the way. He has become fatter and older. Time has made him let go of a lot. The only thing he has is music. Just like 30 years ago, Daolang is still doing something stupid that few people in this world would do: using music to save himself.
