In 2011, Ann and the Cavalry appeared on You're the Most Talented and sang the song Three Years, Three Days.
At the time, after the performance, the female singer in Ann & the Cavalry, Quiet, didn't hold back her tears because by this point, they had finally made something of themselves.
She said, "I hope to do a concert for 100,000 people in the future."
At the time, the judge was Woo Ki-hyun, who, after listening to the quiet words, directly poured a pot of "cold water" on her.
WU Qixian: "You have been working together for 12 years, from only a few people's concert to more than a hundred people now, the time is too long, if you want to open 100,000 people's concert, you may have to be 280 years old to be able to open".
Although the two in the entertainment circle at the time can only be considered a newcomer to the combination, but the face of the judges "pour cold water", but did not hesitate to make a dislike.
They also asked the audience if they thought our song was good. They received a round of applause at the time.
With some maneuvering on stage, Ann and the Cavalry gained a lot of fans.
Then the two took part in the 8th Avenue of Stars, beating Yunfei in the final to become the annual champion.
At that time, An and Cavalry were known by people, and their fame rose, this is their most glorious time, but also the peak of the time.
From a pork seller, turned into a big star, thought they would go better and better, why went to the point of no one asked, in the end experienced what?
Their love and struggle, their splendor and despair, confirms the times in the abandonment of your time, greetings will not play a word.

Quiet was originally named Xue Xiumin, born in a small town in Heilongjiang, although later that stage name for quiet, but she grew up not a quiet person.
Xue Xiumin, whose family is in general condition, her biggest hobby as a child was listening to songs.
Whether in school or at home, as long as there is free time, she will take out the headphones to listen to some folk songs, but also in front of classmates and family members to hum a few words, not at all introverted.
So as a child, Xue Xiu Min dreamed of becoming a singer when she grew up.
When she was in her teens, she had already developed a good voice through self-education, and at that time she was invited to sing in her hometown's small band.
On the other hand, Cavalry was born in Harbin, so why did they become a team?
Cavalry original name E star, plus his own family has three brothers, are relying on their father to do business to support a family.
When I was a child, I relied on my father to support the three brothers to live a carefree life, the cavalry's favorite is music, and I want to go to the Conservatory of Music.
But when Cavalry was 13, his father's business suffered a breakdown.
For the sake of the family's livelihood, his mother had no choice but to leave her home town and work in a factory in her quiet hometown.
And Cavalry also sold pork in the vegetable market after graduating from high school because he wanted to save up for the conservatory.
After earning enough money for tuition, Cavalry enrolled in the Beijing MIDI Music Academy.
Later, during vacations, Cavalry would go to his mother's place to stay.
One time, when he was playing his guitar and singing under a big acacia tree, he attracted the attention of a man who also loved music.
The two of them walked towards each other, and as if by divine providence, the trooper played the guitar at the back, and the quiet sang in front.
They were applauded by some onlookers.
It was the first time they had worked together.
Later, after knowing each other for a while, they often sang together, and their relationship warmed up, but Cavalry was about to go to school in Beijing.
For a year after Cavalry left for Beijing, Quiet remained in her hometown band, but without Cavalry's guitar, she felt as if she had no soul.
Until the cavalry sent her a letter inviting her to go to Beijing.
At that time, she was so excited that she went home and told her family that she wanted to go to Beijing and sing with the cavalry.
Her mother and three sisters were furious when they heard this, and objected strongly, saying, "Can that boy be trusted? Can you stand that suffering?" .
But the quiet has been determined to go, she said: "Even if it's the end of the world, I have to pursue the dream of music with him".
The family did not support her to go, and did not give her a penny, quiet had to take the body only 200 dollars to buy a train ticket to Beijing.
After a day's travel, the cavalry received the dusty quiet at the train station.
Then the cavalry rented a room in Beijing for Quiet, and they began to reunite, singing in some music bars, and Xue Xiu Min changed her name to "Quiet," which means "quiet, quiet singing.
At that time, the two were living a very hard life, returning to their rented house at night after singing, one writing lyrics and the other writing songs.
In the winter, there was no heating, and even though they were freezing, they didn't complain.
They didn't go home on New Year's Eve because they didn't even have the money for a train ticket, so they relied on a bowl of rice and a can of bean curd milk for their New Year's Eve dinner.
And so they spent several years.
Those years were the hardest time for them, and perhaps the sweetest.
It wasn't until September 2010 that the pair formed a group called Ann and the Cavalry.
A year later, they'd finally made it.

In 2011, Henan TV was holding a large-scale talent show called "You're the Most Talented", which was dedicated to providing ordinary people with the opportunity to display their talents and select talented people.
An and Cavalry have been working together for several years in Beijing, but they can only sing in music bars and other venues, not realizing their dreams.
After seeing this program, Cavalry said to Quiet, "Why don't we go to the talent show?
Quietly without saying anything directly agreed, then, we will go to the "You're the most talented".
Then the two packed their bags and went to Henan, in the "you most talented" this program sang a song "three years and three days", after the stage, they did not have the slightest bit of timidity, although it is not called amazing, but also played very well.
The first time on stage, they disliked Wu Qixian, and they were gradually recognized by the people, and gained a lot of fans.
This year, they went to a bigger stage, CCTV's "Very 6+1", and eventually won the annual runner-up.
They finally saved up a sum of money and bought a house on mortgage in Beijing, ending their wandering life.
They also burned a CD of the video of the two singing together and sent it back to their hometown. Later, Quiet received a parcel and opened it to see that it was the clothes sent by his sisters to prepare them for the stage.
After so many years, they were finally recognized by their families.
On New Year's Day 2012, the cavalry went to the mall to buy a diamond ring without Quiet's knowledge.
On January 10th of that year, they headed to the stage of Very 6+1.
Cavalry took out the bought diamond ring and said:
Quiet eyes full of happy tears said: "I do".
Years of love long run, finally come to fruition.
And their splendor has just begun.

In 2012, Ann and Cavalry took part in the third China's Got Talent and qualified to perform in the Great Hall of the People.
On stage, they won countless applause and cheers with their song "Sunflower", which was quite a hot scene.
In March of that year, they performed on the same stage as Wang Feng and Luo Zhixiang at a large TV party in Taiwan.
At that time, they were already on fire, with various program invitations.
Until 2013, they participated in "Avenue of Stars" as challengers, and eventually won the annual championship of "Avenue of Stars".
At that time, their popular songs such as "Oh Think" and "Red Mountain Fruit" were played on every platform, even square dances, schools and so on.
At that time, they were also called the "2013 busiest" celebrities.
Even Mr. Li Shuangjiang commented on them at that time:
And leaving aside their unique style of music, their simple love story is also like a jumping note, simple and sincere and long aftertaste.
Most of their work comes from life, the more such songs, the more full of images, bumpy life experience and long love story, making the two in the song emotionally quite **** Ming sense.
The trough can't always be there, and the peak won't always stay.
Falling down after reaching the peak makes the fall that much more painful.
Since "Red Mountain Fruit," they've barely produced a familiar song, much less a good one.
Though holding the title of "Avenue of Stars" overall champion, artists without works are no different from ordinary people.
Vaguely remembering one of their live broadcasts where less than 200 people came to watch, their heat has slowly dissipated.
They kept singing the song "Red Mountain Fruit" over and over again, and were told by netizens that after they gave birth to their children, they stopped creating songs and only "fried rice".
It's also a male-female duo, which inevitably reminds people of the Phoenix Legends.
Why is it that one of them is still active, and the other one has disappeared?
It's actually quite simple.
In this era where traffic is king, not just songs are enough.
Instead of choosing to join a record label at the height of their popularity, Anne and the Troopers set up their own studio.
So much so that even though they created songs later, they had no avenue to publicize them.
And the Phoenix Legend not only signed Peacock Records, but also by the company to promote, the song is not the only one, and a variety of styles, the audience will be more.
And now Ann and the cavalry, although still singing, even if the choice of the hottest live broadcast industry at the moment, but only a few hundred people.
A far cry from the 100,000 people who boasted of a concert in the beginning.
So when the times are about to abandon you, not even a hello.
When the original grandeur, but by the reality of a surprise.
