In those years when we could still dominate the remote control, the programs on TV were like a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending: there was "Approaching Science", which turned a popular science film into a classic horror film, and " I Love Remembering" which started a craze for full-name recording of lyrics. Lyrics ", there is "Zhengda Variety Show" that can lead us to appreciate the style of the world without leaving home.
Of course, there is also " Super Winner " which can make the audience excited by relying on a "thousand-hand door".
Among these old programs that have gradually disappeared from our youth, which ones are you familiar with and never forget? And which ones have you ever put your true feelings into and pursued desperately even if you stayed up late?
A happy childhood is always similar. I believe there will always be one of these programs that belongs to you, Bai Yueguang.
In that healthy and active entertainment environment at that time, I don’t know how many people had a soft spot for a program called " Avenue of Stars ".
Different from today’s impetuous variety show environment, in September 2004, in order to allow grassroots civilians with musical talents to have a stage to show themselves, CCTV launched a variety show called "Avenue of Stars".
There is no so-called appearance association here, and there is no secret operation of capital management. No matter which region you are from, which position you are in, or which age group you are, as long as you have a music dream, the stage can be set up for you at any time.
It is precisely under the purpose of "people's self-entertainment" that this program has also successfully made many popular groups such as " Agriculture Heavy Metal " group Phoenix Legend, " Brother Coat " Zhu Zhiwen and others. There are countless grassroots singers such as Li Yugang who are ridiculed as "just forgetting" because they often forget their lyrics.
Among these singers, I don’t know how many of them still remember the one who came from the depths of the mountains in Datong, Shanxi Province. He often wore a woolen waistcoat on the stage, with a white towel wrapped around his head and a red rope wrapped around his waist. "Grassroots Sheep-herding Baby" Abao .
In 2005, on the final stage of the Avenue of Stars, Abao stunned everyone with his clear and resonant song "Shandandan Blossoms Red", defeating the most popular Phoenix Legend Group and Ergun Band . Successfully won the annual championship and became the most representative "grassroots counterattack king" at that time.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. However, after gaining fame and fortune through "Avenue of Stars", Po produced few outstanding works in the following ten years, which led to frequent accusations and criticisms against him.
And in 2015, someone broke the news that Abao was not a "grassroots" or a "sheepherder". So what is the truth? What has happened to Abao these years? If what others say is true, then on the show back then, Abao concealed his identity and packaged himself as a poor "sheepherding boy". Is there any hidden secret in this?
. His original name was Zhang Shaochun and he was born in 1969. His ancestral home is in Datong, Shanxi. Because his family was poor, he had to herd sheep since he was a child to help his parents share the burden of the family. The village where A Bao lives has a very simple rural style.
Although the village generally lags behind other areas in terms of economy and education, the village is still relatively prosperous in terms of cultural and entertainment development because the villagers maintain a diligent and optimistic attitude towards life.
As we all know, Shanxi folk songs are an extremely ancient Han folk art. Although influenced by dialect culture, local opera and other factors, the folk song culture of southern Shanxi and northern Shanxi is quite different.
are like the folk songs from northwestern Shanxi . Influenced by the Xikou culture and Mongolian folk song culture, they usually sing about the joys and sorrows of life and the sufferings of life. The melody of
contains the bitterness and desolation of the lower class people, and the sound is rough but gentle, which is similar to the folk songs of northern Shaanxi with strong local flavor.
The sad folk song "Playing Jujube" is a typical folk song in northern Shanxi. Datong, Shanxi, where Abao grew up, is the northern Shanxi region where the "Shanqu" culture is extremely developed.
As the saying goes, enjoy suffering, take suffering as happiness, and enjoy it. Although the villagers in Abao's hometown are not very wealthy, they have to work in the fields and go up the mountains to cut firewood every day to make a living.
But whenever the bright red sun rises from the top of the mountain, these villagers will take the trouble to sing folk songs with the villagers from the nearby hills like professional singers.
His singing voice is loud and natural, just like the most precious natural sound of nature. And when the dusk sets, everyone will happily sing songs to announce the end of this beautiful day of "work as the sun rises and rest as the sun sets".
It was in this artistic atmosphere that appealed to both refined and popular tastes that A Bao developed a good singing voice at a very young age.
Although Po is talented in singing, his parents do not have the financial ability to send him to a professional art school.
Therefore, despite his good foundation, A Bao still has a bigger shortcoming in singing skills than singers with "professional background".
But obviously, this "little guy" from a low-level background does not believe in fate. Although Abao was unable to enjoy professional vocal training due to external reasons, out of his desire for dreams and recognition of his "self-taught career" for many years, he has continued to participate in various singing competitions since he grew up.
It is said that a small fire depends on support, and a big fire depends on life. But how can a "grassroots singer" like A Bao, who has insufficient abilities, insufficient funds, and no background, meet his "Bo Le" so easily?
Therefore, before 2004, all the various arena competitions that Abao participated in ended in failure.
Of course, through this repeated failure, Abao also summed up a lot of singing experience. Although his progress was slow, he never stopped moving forward for a day.
Finally, in the "Western Folk Song Competition" held by CCTV in 2004, Abao won the bronze medal in the competition with his unique voice and the unique simple temperament of farmers in northern Shanxi. This is also the first time that Abao has won an award in his many years of singing career.
's victory in the "Western Folk Song Competition" gave Abao a lot of encouragement. In order to showcase his talents to a greater extent, in 2005, Abao signed up to participate in CCTV's recently launched national talent show variety show - "Avenue of Stars".
The reason why Abao chose to participate in this program is also very simple. Because on this stage, it doesn’t depend on connections or appearance. As long as you have the ability, there is a chance to stay.
And just as Abao expected, he wore a woolen waistcoat with a strong northern Shanxi flavor and a white towel on his head. He opened his voice boldly on the stage of "Avenue of Stars" and sang the shocking songs of northern Shanxi. During the folk song, both the judges on the stage and the audience were infected by this little-known Shanxi boy.
That year, Abao was 36 years old.
At that time, the judges of "Avenue of Stars" looked at the plain and even scruffy singer on the stage and asked:
"As far as I know, the Italian tenor singer Pavaro, one of the three great tenors in the world Ti , when he sang high notes, he could only sing up to one C. At that time, on the stage of "Avenue of Stars" today, you were able to sing two high C notes authentically. What can you say about this? How did you do it?"
Faced with the judges' questions, Abao looked a little reserved while standing on the stage, and replied sheepishly:
"Actually, I didn't go to any special training, I just herded sheep every day. Sometimes, I would roar a few times on the hillside. After decades of roaring like this, I have the energy to sing."
As soon as Abao finished speaking, everyone including the judges cheered for him. Palm. It is unimaginable that a child herding sheep deep in the mountains, without any professional vocal training, could persist on this road with a slim future for decades just because of his love for singing.
Even in the end, he sang better than those professional world-class singers.
Audiences who watched Abao's performance on TV were even more attracted by Abao's "silly energy".
At that time, many people were impressed not only by Abao's talent in singing, but also by his determination to challenge fate and persist in his dream even though he came from a grassroots background.
In order to keep this "grassroots singer" on this stage, both the audience in front of the TV and the audience at the scene worked hard to cheer for Abao mentally or financially.
And it was in this atmosphere of full-name betting that was popular among the people that Abao successfully won the weekly championship and monthly championship in the first week of "Avenue of Stars" in 2005.
Of course, Abao himself was very successful in the show. Although in the finals of "Avenue of Stars" that year, he met the Phoenix Legend Group and the Ergun Band, which were also very popular at the time,
he did not have the slightest stage fright on the day of the finals, but instead carried his trademark Wearing a unique woolen waistcoat, a white towel and a red belt, and using a song from Northern Shaanxi Xintian Tour with a bright melody and strong national flavor - "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red", they put themselves on the throne of the annual champion.
When the news came out that Abao won the championship, the whole people fell into endless carnival and joy.
For the public, Abao's victory is not only the victory of a sheepherder who loves to sing, but also a victory for the grassroots and the common people.
His existence seems to set an example for all lower-class workers from ordinary backgrounds. As long as you are willing to persevere and work hard like Abao, even a small person can definitely reach the pinnacle of life.
Since winning the championship of "Avenue of Stars" in 2005, Abao has relied on his "grassroots halo" to gradually transform himself, a common man, into a superstar with tens of millions of fans.
attended the Spring Festival Gala, released an album, and even performed at the Pyramids of Egypt and Singapore . It can be said that during this period, Abao not only achieved a leap in fame, but also received a soft hand in commercial endorsements.
However, not long after, someone expressed that they were very disappointed with Abao. Is
a "sheepherder"?
Many people believe that the first time Abao's "grassroots vest" was stripped off was in 2015, the year when his rumored girlfriend Zhang Dongling broke the news.
But in fact, as early as 2005, when he had just come out of "Avenue of Stars" and was gradually becoming famous in the industry, someone had already told about Abao's different experiences.
In 2005, after becoming the overall champion of "Avenue of Stars", Shandong Satellite TV specially invited him to be a guest on a talk show with some friends in the industry in order to let the public better understand A Bao's past experience.
was on the show at that time. When the host asked Zhao Benshan 's "favorite disciple" Heng Yue about his acquaintance with Abao, Heng Yue smiled boldly and said: "We have known each other relatively early. Earlier. We had already met each other when I was a resident singer in a bar in Shenzhen in 2018."
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Faced with Hengyue's "unbridled speech", the host did not react for a while. . However, Ah Bao next to him retorted: "Don't talk nonsense. I have been herding sheep in the mountains and valleys. Where have I been to Shenzhen?"
Perhaps he was aware of his "slip of the tongue" and listened to Ah Bao. After Bao's words, Heng Yue began to echo him.
The audience below couldn't help laughing after hearing A Bao's words "herding sheep in the ravine". How could they remember the episode just now? After
, in 2006, Abao relied on his super popularity to successfully appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Together with Dai Yuqiang and Wu Yanze, he sang the famous Inner Mongolia song - "The Sun That Rises and Never Sets on the Grassland." 》.
Along with the melodious singing voices of Dai Yuqiang and Wu Yanze, Abao's rich and rough Shanxi style added a different color to this folk song, winning unanimous praise from people across the country.
It can be said that in this year's Spring Festival Gala, this "grassroots singer" once again shined.
Later, at the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Egypt, Abao once again appeared on the stage as a "Chinese grassroots singer", showing the world the unique Chinese folk song culture, and was invited to attend many times. Chinese evening parties held in Singapore, South Korea and other countries.
As of now, the image of Abao shown to the outside world is still that of a warm and simple singer from northern Shanxi.
However, he was famous for his popularity. Not long after, some people said that Po was not as good as we thought.
Abao has always kept a low profile and appeared as a simple and hard-working "grassroots". However, people often say that he does not respect his predecessors and repeatedly makes indecent comments in the industry, causing his reputation to fall again and again.
In 2011, when he was a guest on the " Tonight Show " program hosted by Guo Degang , when talking about the changes in his life after becoming famous, Abao said very reservedly:
"I feel that since I became famous, my life has also changed." Nothing has changed. Most of the time, I am writing songs and creating, and there is almost no time for entertainment. I am not interested in mansions, luxury cars, etc. I want the whole world to know that I am very low-key."
Listen After hearing A Bao's words, Guo Degang just wanted to praise him for not being arrogant or impetuous and for acting in a low-key manner. But before Guo Degang opened his mouth, Abao added:
"A low-key person like me just attended the Spring Festival Gala and sang at the Great Hall of the People."
Then someone Taking advantage of this, Abao's airy tone seems to emphasize how "insignificant" his achievements are. Accusing this kind of "excessive modesty" attitude clearly makes people feel the arrogance and arrogance in his tone.
What made people even more dissatisfied with him was his later relationship with the "Phoenix Legend".
In the first month of 2006, Abao released his second album " I want to kiss, I want to be in my heart and my eyes ". Although Abao put a lot of effort into the new album, the response was mediocre for some reason.
However, he was the first runner-up winner of "Avenue of Stars", Phoenix Legend. During that period, he continuously released songs such as "Free to Fly", " Above the Moon ", etc., but became popular all over the country, and once became a national sung song. The song with the highest popularity is still a classic song when people dance square dances and sing in KTV even today.
But the problem arises here.
In 2012, Abao partnered with female singer Zhang Dongling to release the single "Singing All the Way". Later in the interview, Abao expressed his intention to "destroy the Phoenix Legend." But in the end, the response to the song was mediocre, so some people said that he deliberately imitated "Phoenix Legend" and lost the rice. Facts have proved that what Abao said did not come true.
And in 2015, it was an even more devastating year for Abao. During this year, with Zhang Dongling's revelations, there has been an endless stream of negative information about Abao, and these negative information are all caused by his earlier persona.
is first of all his "low-key" persona.
In a previous show, Abao said that because he was "low-key", he was not interested in luxury cars and mansions, and relied entirely on buses and subways to travel.
But some people say that he not only drives a million-dollar luxury car when traveling, but also has more than one luxury house in Beijing.
Although later, Abao declared to the public that those luxury houses were only located in the suburbs of Beijing, and he had only recently paid off his mortgage. But obviously, Abao's explanation has long been submerged in the public's criticism.
The real reason why Ah Bao was criticized by netizens was the "grassroots character design" that he has been emphasizing to the public since he participated in "Avenue of Stars".
According to the relevant character design, Abao is not a farmer.
Someone broke the news that A Bao did not make a living by herding sheep, and A Bao's parents were not poor farmers who made a living by farming.
It is reported that his father is the workshop section manager of a large enterprise, while his mother is a primary school teacher in a school owned by the enterprise.
In addition to A Bao, his parents also have a pair of children.
In those years when we could still dominate the remote control, the programs on TV were like a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending: there was "Approaching Science", which turned a popular science film into a classic horror film, and " I Love Remembering" which started a craze for full-name recording of lyrics. Lyrics ", there is "Zhengda Variety Show" that can lead us to appreciate the style of the world without leaving home.
Of course, there is also " Super Winner " which can make the audience excited by relying on a "thousand-hand door".

The real reason why Ah Bao was criticized by netizens was the "grassroots character design" that he has been emphasizing to the public since he participated in "Avenue of Stars".
According to the relevant character design, Abao is not a farmer.
Someone broke the news that A Bao did not make a living by herding sheep, and A Bao's parents were not poor farmers who made a living by farming.
It is reported that his father is the workshop section manager of a large enterprise, while his mother is a primary school teacher in a school owned by the enterprise.
In addition to A Bao, his parents also have a pair of children.However, when Po was a child, his brother unfortunately passed away due to physical reasons.
Because of work, A Bao's father has been living in the factory. In working-class families in the past, the mother usually had a rural household registration. Children can settle down with their mothers, so this explains why Abao’s household registration is an agricultural household registration.
Although he was born in Datong, Shanxi, A Bao did not spend his childhood in Shanxi. When he was a child, his parents were busy with work, so they asked him to live with his grandparents in Hebei.
Later, when A Bao was almost old enough to study, he took him to her side again.
Moreover, some people say that A Bao is not unqualified to receive professional vocal training. Since he became interested in music at the age of 12, his parents have planned to send him to art school.
failed to pass the class test at the local Children's Palace due to insufficient professional ability, and also failed in the art school examination.
In desperation, he had to train hard for another three years. When he was 15 years old, he was finally admitted to Datong Art School.
After three years of further study, in order to expand his horizons, 17-year-old Abao came to the south alone.
As a rookie, because he has not yet made a name for himself locally, in order to survive, Abao had to work as a bar singer in concert venues in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places.
And this is why he met Heng Yue, who also sang in Shenzhen.
As for how many of these revelations are true and how many are false, it is really impossible to correct them one by one. Although Abao has been criticized and criticized under such revelations, some people are clearly aware that establishing a "grassroots" character on "Avenue of Stars" is not his own doing. He is also influenced by the operating company behind it. sign.
But this voice was quickly drowned out. Since 2015, various negative news about Abao has not stopped. Under the overwhelming black information, Abao's struggle and explanation seemed so weak.
Some people even spread rumors that he made his fortune by "eating soft food", and his "girlfriend" is Zhang Dongling, who is 15 years younger than him and has worked with him.
Of course, these remarks are just rumors made by people to vent their emotions. As to whether it is true or false, we have no way of knowing.
However, it is obvious that the damage caused by all this to A Bao is devastating.
The irreproducible "Po"
In 2015, due to the pressure of public opinion, Po gradually faded from the public's view.
html In 2020, 5 years after 2005, Abao appeared in front of the public again, and followed the trend of the Internet and started a live broadcast to sell goods.In 2022, Abao is already 53 years old. Today, he will still wear the wool vest, white towel and red belt, and sing at the top of his voice the song "Mountain" that has accompanied him through the highs and lows of life. Dandan blooms red and brightly."
Whenever he sang this song, netizens in the comment area either scolded him or comforted him. Although we may not know his true identity, as long as his high-pitched folk songs are clear and loud, it will be fine.
However, both the netizens who comforted him and Abao himself clearly understood that even though his appearance and singing voice were very similar to those of before, the "grassroots singer" who once inspired all civilians would never be the same again. Can not go back.
In fact, looking at A Bao’s experience, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with him. In the face of doubts from all parties, although Abao has spoken out, it has not been very frequent, because Abao is not a person who is good at expressing himself. Sometimes when facing an interview, he may not know whether what he said is right, just like 《 Shanxi Evening News 》 commented on him:
Abao has a very obvious characteristic of Shanxi men, who is not good at expressing.
Therefore, he, who was not deeply involved in the world, eventually fell into the quagmire of society. In order to create contrast, the company behind him deliberately gave him a "grassroots" persona, which resulted in Abao having to take this path in the future.
Just like nowadays, companies in the entertainment industry are operating everywhere, and it is common for people to collapse.
Looking back at A Bao, although he is probably not a sheep farmer, he does not come from a wealthy family. He also became famous through hard work. But the strange thing is that he became popular so quickly, people's expectations for him are extremely high, and any negative voice will be infinitely amplified. If Abao could become popular little by little, maybe he would have a different life.
