"'Chuan' crosses the Strait, one on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, I wish you a happy 6th birthday to the 'Chuan crosses the Strait', youthful, and towards the future..." Holding the guitar, fiddling casually, the melody flows, Taiwanese musician Aliang sang his blessings.
Aliang's name is Lin Liangyan, and he grew up in the era when music was flourishing in Taiwan. At his thirties, he came to Chengdu from his hometown Taichung. In the first year of "Rongpiao", he opened a piano store and performed in a bar, and met great local musicians... Now, he has achieved a double harvest of career and love. He smiled and said, "My girlfriend is from Deyang, Sichuan, and it's time to come to propose marriage."
mentioned that he was invited to participate in the 6-year-old music creation of "Kawagoe Strait", and Aliang said that he accepted it with pleasure, "and agreed without thinking." This determination comes from empathy for the "Kawagoe Strait". "Believe it, many of my small changes have the shadow of the 'Kawago Strait'." Aliang's story in Chengdu, after the spread of "Kawago Strait", he found that his circle suddenly became bigger. "In the past, many friends only knew that I made music, but they didn't know what they did." After being reported, Aliang received more invitations to events and performances, "I also met more friends with music hobbies through this relationship." The Taiwanese rock band established in
in 2018 made Aliang find a sense of belonging to integrate into Chengdu. "The band members are 9 Taiwanese music lovers living in Chengdu. They range from Taiwanese businessmen over 50 to Taiwanese college students born after '95' who are studying in Sichuan Conservatory of Music. Their professions cover doctors, teachers, and baristas... Everyone has no fixed rehearsal venues and time. They seem loose, but they are very cohesive." Because of their love for music, Taiwanese Rock has presented a "Taiwan Rock Night" performance every year for three consecutive years. "There are many Taiwanese people living in Chengdu, and their performances are very popular with everyone."
"'Kawagoe Strait' tells the story of our band." Aliang remembers that at the end of 2020, the editor of "Kawagoe Strait" will be invited to the event site for the Taiwanese youth who participated in the event in Chengdu. "That night was the most lively. We sang Taiwanese rock after the 1970s, and we sang together on stage and off stage, all of them were relatives. The invited Taiwanese youth also made many good works, and I saw them on the 'Kawagoe Strait'." Because of their love for music and life here, every member of the band regards Chengdu as his "second hometown", and many people have also found love here. "Chuan and Taiwan are both homes. We are looking for the commonalities between the music of the two places. We hope that more people will understand and like it, and then sing together."
's own story and the band's story have been told many times by the "Kawago Strait", and Aliang is also paying more and more attention to this "stories" platform. "This place can be aware of policies closely related to us in a timely manner, and we can also see the stories of Taiwanese friends we don't know who are living their passionate life here, which is very meaningful."
In recent years, in various cross-strait activities organized by the "Kawago Strait", Aliang feels that many of the narratives in the past have become reality in front of him. At the Guangyuan Huangze Temple Museum, he revisited Wu Zetian's history again. At Jianmen Pass and Sanxingdui, he felt the vastness of mountains and rivers and the vastness of history, and appreciated the Dayu culture in Beichuan. The Qiang harp and harp piano made him miss it... "I am very grateful to the activities organized by the 'Chuoyue Strait' very carefully. I was very excited at the scene."
In Chengdu for many years, Aliang is optimistic about the development of the local music market in Chengdu. Last year, he sent the music works of a boy in his early 20s to a musician in Taiwan. The other party was amazed at the mature skills and production in the work, "Such a young man, the level of music works is very high, enough to see the potential of the music market here.
"Stop dreaming, be realistic." "It seems that this is the first time that all young people have been cheering up when they grow up. Aliang admitted that for Taiwanese youth who live in Chengdu, the music in their hometown is unforgettable. "Chuan" crosses the Strait, "I sing my song with my heart" in the second hometown is even more of a blessing and blessing.
