How many friends have watched the drama " Want to See You "? The popularity of this Taiwanese idol drama not only made the male god Xu Guanghan famous, but also made our Wu Bai teacher's early rock love song. Recently, the song "Last Dance" has always lingered in my mind, which really makes !

Even Teacher Wu Bai himself was shocked!
was also teased that you don’t have to sing yourself at concerts
I overturned this remark on Weibo
is by no means accidental. If you often visit B station, you can find that many people born in the 1995s and even 2000s have discovered this treasure hidden in their parents' old cardboard machine.
This talented "treasure old boy" is not only good at playing music. He has also made several movies, collaborated with Nicholas Tse with two male protagonists, and also guest-starred in Jackie Chan 's Big Brother "New Police Story" .

But do you know? He often appears in front of the public as a prodigal son. In addition to creation and performance, he also spent 20 years doing the same thing, that is, "Photography". From 2003 to the present, he has taken more than 300,000 photos with his Leica camera in his hand, published four photography works, and also held photography exhibitions in Taipei, Taichung , Kaohsiung , Singapore and Malaysia. Photography is a kind of "self-salvation" of the soul for Wu Bai himself

If he stays for too long, he will be discovered. The photos he took are not what he imagined at first. He also joked: I'm almost buying up the film in Taipei!

Most of the photos he took were black and white. In his photography collection, he expressed the text in a rubbing way, which was also black and white. The font is two or three times larger than the one on ordinary pages, and every word is shouting loudly. At this time, the text becomes another kind of photography. He said that the world is colorful, black and white are not real but look very real.
▲ Taipei story under Wu Bai's lens
"I am the wandering soul on the street, and you are the one who smells me." As an immigrant from the south to Taipei, Wu Bai feels like the wandering soul in the city. Because people are in a foreign land, they can write such songs and take such photos.
Wu Bai said: The most charming place in Taipei is by no means the glamorous buildings in the East District, but the places with history, traces and hard work. The beautiful little flowers that survived in the cracks in the city are the most touching places in this city.
These photos are included in Wu Bai's third personal album "Wu Bai Taipei"
In addition to recording the streets and alleys of Taipei, Wu Bai also occasionally uses his camera to record his life and places he passes in Taipei, what he saw at that time, his eyesight at work, and his friends. The famous director Tsui Hark said Wu Bai's photography: "It is not just a hunting shadow, but an expression of confidence and determination."

In addition to Taipei, Wu Bai will also go to many remote countries in foreign lands to shoot. In 2013, Wu Bai visited the African region Lesotho for the purpose of charity and recorded his experiences at that time with a camera. Seven years have passed, and memories and emotions are still vivid in my mind through the images.

In recent years, with the development of social media, Wu Bai began to use his mobile phone to create photography. He would hide his identity as an artist and post his mobile phone photography works on insgram anonymously. Later, he was discovered, so he simply turned off Ins, but he was still shooting.
Mobile photography collection "Gentle Drops Dripping in the City Time" launched on August 26, 2016 is Wu Bai's fourth photography book. The content of the photography book comes from his social works on Insgram.

What Wu Bai is very proud of is that he has been taking photos continuously over the years, and some photos have won awards, which is the greatest affirmation for the photographer.

Back to music, Wu Bai once said: "I don't want to please young people urgently. I should do what I can do now, because after a certain age, people will be anxious to do things close to young people, but I don't think I am like this. I am doing my own things. I hope my songs are wise."
for so many years Wu Bai has been insisting on forging his own music expression and protecting his creative ability. I have also been insisting on my own photography. In the impetuous entertainment industry, Wu Bai, the "treasure old man" with both virtue and art, has always insisted on being himself. And can this arouse our thinking?
