Love you slowly fly, be careful in front of the rose with thorns;
You are my rose, you are my flower, you are my lover, is my attachment.
Seeing these two lines, is not the melody that comes to mind, these two songs are many years away from now, but still catchy today, it can be seen how hot this song was at that time, the singer of these songs is Pang Long.
In 1971, Pang Long was born in Liaoning province in an ordinary family, his father was a mine worker, although a small cadre, but the salary is also poor. Pang Long was born that year when his father was 35 years old, with three sisters above him, and the family welcomed their only youngest son, who could be spoiled for choice.
Because of the old man's son, Pang Long's father on this son but in the hands of the fear of falling, in the mouth for fear of melting, hope that the son of the dragon, he gave his son named Pang Long, nicknamed "old Xizi", enough to prove that the love of him. Although Pang Long by parents spoiled, but he grew up to understand, rarely will be capricious to want something, only once, Pang Long very much like music, pestered his father to buy a guitar.
After graduating from junior high school, Panglong gave up on college and chose to go to a vocational high school, where his father was furious, but he couldn't bring himself to scold his son. After the vocational high school even so, but Panglong directly to the school to forget to the back of the mind, focusing on music, his father in a fit of anger, picked up his guitar from the sixth floor threw out, Panglong also therefore and his father angry for a long time.
While the guitar was thrown out and his grades improved, Pang Long still hasn't forgotten his dream of making music, and he resents his father's approach, but he doesn't know that his father was already in the late stages of lung cancer at the time. When Pang Long was 18 years old, his father died of lung cancer. He wanted to see his father for the last time, but he couldn't because of his exams, and his doting father was no longer there. After his father's death, his mother took up the slack, raising four children and supporting the family of five by repairing bicycles every day. In order to supplement his family's income, Panglong listened to a coal boss and went to a bar singing residency, where he was paid three dollars a night.
After graduating from vocational high school, the school arranged for him to go to a construction site as a technician, and then he found a lot of work on his own, and even collected old electrical appliances to sell for money, but did a lot of work, he always felt bad, and ultimately returned to his father's original workplace, as an electrician, life is very difficult.
Life gradually calm down, a few years later, Pang Long's mother but because of brain hemorrhage also died, the family's burden from the mother fell on the only man. He was accompanied only by a guitar, and during the long, lonely nights, music became his only solace, and his addiction to singing, which had been dulled by life, came back.
In 1996, at the age of 25, Pang Long decided to follow his heart and chose to study music, so he enrolled in the Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and did not expect to pass the exams, into the popularity of the Department of Performing, which is a three-year study.
After graduation, Pang Long chose to do music on his own, so after discussing with his sister, he sold his family's house for 500,000 yuan, all of which was used to make music, and in 2000, he released his first album, "Trilogy of Life". In those days, many songs on the music scene were top of the line, and it was not easy to break out in them.
The sky is the limit, Pang Long in the album failed to return to his hometown to continue to be a bar singer, because of the deep foundation and professional knowledge, Pang Long in this small bar but famous, many people love to listen to him sing, when he was a friend called Niu Zhaoyang, is on the road in a hurry to find him. Niu Chaoyang found Panglong with a song called "Two Butterflies" and invited him to sing it, but Panglong felt that the song was too vulgar and refused to record it. Later, after many negotiations, Pang Long finally chose to record the song, but he didn't expect that the song would take him to the path of glory.
In the year when he sang "Two Butterflies", the number one song on the charts was "Mice Love Rice", which took 170 million, and when "Two Butterflies" was released, it managed to squeeze out of the charts in a short period of time, taking 240 million, making it a solid number one.
How hot was the song at the time? It was playing on the streets, in the mp3s you carried with you, in the sd card of your cell phone, color ringtones, ringtones, the melody of the song was everywhere.
The next year, Pang Long published a new song "you are my roses", once issued a direct hit, no one knows Pang Long this person, the two songs of the hit, Pang Long pushed to the golden road, but also gradually pushed to the abyss. Pang Long fire, fire a mess, the Spring Festival Gala invited him on stage four times, Jackie Chan invited him to come together chorus "True Heroes", a time of the wind without two. Immediately continued to launch a new album of new songs, "home in the Northeast," "Vow of Happiness," "Love Fruit" and so on, the critical acclaim.
With the fame gradually climbed, Panglong's life also turned upside down, originally owed countless debts he has turned into a tycoon, but behind the favorable reviews, but there are a lot of scolding.
Because of the song's popularity, "Two Butterflies" also made it to the China Golden Melody Awards, but it was also known as a cheesy-to-the-earth spitball song. The more Panglong caught fire, the more he was questioned, and he gradually wondered if a song like this could still be popular.
Later, Panglong wanted to open a concert in Beijing, the result was that Andy Lau was also going to open a concert in Beijing at that time, the two schedule a collision, many netizens said that Panglong hurried to give way, spit song and then how to fire compared to the king of the sky, and the fans let Panglong must hold on to it.
On the day of the concert, Panglong was interviewed by various media, Panglong said flirtatiously, "I'm not the same as Andy Lau, it may be that I went to the conservatory." Originally a flirtatious tone, the results were taken out by the screenshot, Pang Long was pushed into the limelight for a while, questioning, "Is it awesome to have a degree? So look down on Andy Lau?"
Because of the "red over the top", Pang Long under pressure to choose to take the initiative to withdraw from the music industry, with the brokerage company to terminate the contract, their own quietly do the music, and then the "brother hold a little", "brother cheers", but also no previous spit song like vulgarity, but also by a lot of positive feedback, and now is also a lot of KTV must be point of view! The first time I saw this song, it was a hit, and it's a hit.
Today's Pang Long is 49 years old, and after releasing "Brother Hugs" in 2012, he has rarely appeared on the screen after eight years, and has almost disappeared from the scene.
In fact, although Pang Long rarely appears now, he is still doing music, working as a tenured professor at his alma mater, Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and also working as an adjunct professor at the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, where he leads a very casual and nourishing life. Discussing music ideas with students, drinking tea and working out when he's not doing anything, he probably prefers his current life to standing at the top of the music world.
