Emotional experience

Born in Liaoning in 1970, Zhou Yunpeng is known as the most humanistic representative of Chinese folk music. He was blind at the age of 9, playing guitar at the age of 15, going to college at the age of 19, writing poetry at the age of 21, and wandering around at the age of 24. Besides his own songs, his poems are also recognized. His poem love that can't speak won the poetry award of 2011 people's literature award.

Green demon has been a newspaper, fashion magazine, radio host, book critic, and also a writer. I'm a little famous for my own words. After you get familiar with Zhou Yunpeng, people can always see her around Zhou Yunpeng at major music festivals, and their acquaintance comes from an interview. At that time, green demon was still a member of reading library. Once she accepted a task to interview Zhou Yunpeng. After three months of interview, green demon became Zhou Yunpeng's girlfriend, which was in 2008.

Zhou Yunpeng once told reporters: "she is not only my lover, but also a crutch, a hand and an eye." As for the green demon, when she was singing with Zhou Yunpeng, she was playing various roles and changing in various identities: Zhou Yunpeng's personal tuner, photographer, enterprise publicist, girlfriend, assistant and agent.

In an interview with CCTV reporter Chai Jing, Chai Jing asked why she was with Yunpeng. She said: "in Wang Xiaobo's novel, a mother told her daughter that she would spend a long life with an interesting person..." "Is that all?" "It's fun. It's hard." Said the green demon. This sentence is the most sublimated description of the two people's feelings, which makes countless literary youths intoxicated. However, when they break up and are accompanied by the rumor of Zhou Yunpeng's cheating, it may be a reminder to those who are in love: it's not enough to have fun.

In 2010, 15 years after Zhou Yunpeng drifted to the north, green demon and he went to live in Shaoxing, a small city in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, green demon sips the green grape juice and says to his friends, "I'm Shaoxing, but I'm back to Beijing."

At first, the news of the breakup spread on Weibo, "Tanabata night is also my Lunar birthday. Decided to celebrate. For the first time, I used the juicer to soak the grapes. One by one, I took out the seeds and put them into the holes. Busy more than ten minutes, juicer a minute, out of a cup of juice, less, small. After a mouthful, he bit his lip and thought for a long time, and ate up the grape meat in the fruit dregs cup with chopsticks. " This is the true portrayal of green demon's mood, and some careful Netizens found that green demon has cancelled the attention to Zhou Yunpeng on Weibo.

Album introduction

abstract

In 2003, he signed up with the badhead brand of modern sky and recorded his first album breath of silence. The whole album works beautiful but not honey, simple but not boring, sad but not sad, deep but not obscure, for the most humanistic temperament. It seems that silence is like a mystery, but it seems that I have already peeped through the secret of fate and examined the breath of fate. "I hope I can become one with fate. "That solemn and open-minded is just like Zhuang Zhou's" xiaoyaoyou ", which" the water blows three thousand li, and the shaking is ninety thousand li ".

Zhou Yunpeng, a folk singer who released his first album "breath of silence like mystery" in 2003, recently released his second album "Chinese children" in a low profile. According to Zhou Yunpeng, the new album "Chinese children" was not handed over to the record company for operation, but was produced and sold by DIY. This album includes many well-known works, such as buy a house, golden porridge, Chinese children, etc. in addition, a song adapted from a letter written to Ginsburg by the mother of poet Alan Ginsburg, the core figure of the beat generation in the United States, a letter from Ginsburg's mother, is even more sad. On the whole, compared with the breath of silence, the new album "Chinese children" maintains the temperament of a poet of Zhou style. Zhou Yunpeng and the producer of the album, Xiaohe, work together to make the sense of music space and picture of "Chinese children" more prominent. As the producer of Chinese children, Xiaohe brings his special understanding and creativity of music aesthetics into Chinese children.

Social evaluation

Zhou Yunpeng's fantastic experiences have been translated into lyrics, and his songs are notes that have experienced many vicissitudes, songs that are picked up and put in his pocket after countless falls. The first is the song "blind cinema", which is an autobiographical song. In the song, Zhou Yunpeng tells about his experience in his youth. As a child, Zhou Yunpeng lost his light at the age of nine, and since then his ears have become his eyes. He loves art, music and movies. The film is his artistic enlightenment. In the "blind cinema", there are countless imaginative pictures turned into poems, wandering around with Zhou Yunpeng, living by singing. "He went to Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Changsha, Kunming, Tengger Desert, Alxa, Gobi, Nagqu grassland and Lhasa holy city. "He loves poetry, he likes" howling ", he appreciates the ideal of beat generation, because he is also a wandering" loser ".

Zhou Yunpeng's voice reminds me of the legendary American folk singer Lee hazlewood. I think if I have the chance, I must give his record to Zhou Yunpeng, because I know how much spiritual power a person can get through music. Let's listen to the song "breath of silence like mystery". Zhou Yunpeng, who began to write poems in 1992, melts his delicate feelings into lyrics that are more touching than chords. The sensitive ear can hear the "breath of silence like mystery", and this breath is the tiny impact coming out through the darkness, which is the confirmation of the existence of life, and it is the break away from the heart.

Zhou Yunpeng, who has been wandering at the bottom of the society for many years, sings the stories around him. Whether it is the poetic character of "empty water cup", "Mountain Ghost", "illusion supports us to live", or the realistic dilemma of "I hear someone singing a sad song" and "the unemployed", these are songs with profound connotation, which are more and more popular be moved. All the blind musicians I know are like Zhou Yunpeng. They have sensitive ears, and they have a clearer perception of music. They can't see the secular disputes and colorful world, and they can hear the crying of the society and the ill fated road. Steve wonder sang "the illusion of inner vision" and Ray Charles sang "I can see everything in the dark.". Zhou Yunpeng, he can hear the "breath of silence like a riddle". We don't have to worry. We wish him good luck.

Destiny. Sometimes we have to sigh about fate. When you hear this "breath of silence like mystery" from Zhou Yunpeng, you will feel even more sigh. I can't change places with the singer when listening to this record. That is to say, I can understand the feelings in his songs, but I can't fully understand how his creation was completed. A man who was blind when he was nine years old
