Li Jian's childhood was very boring.
Besides going to school and doing homework,
His life is only a somersault and singing practice.
Because his father is a Beijing opera martial arts student.
But to my father's great disappointment,
"Five or six years later, Li Jian still didn't fall in love with Peking Opera."
Father finally died: "Whatever!"
Li Jian, who was doing nothing, fell into confusion instead.
"My heart is empty. I don't know what I can learn except reading."
1988, he just entered the first grade,
I accidentally watched a movie "Guitar Team by the Road".
"The hero plays the guitar, so handsome and cool."
Li Jian's eyes, lit a flame.
"Mom, buy me a guitar!"
The mother thinks that her son should cultivate a hobby.
I spent two months' salary to buy a cotton guitar for Li Jian.
In the next three years of junior high school and senior high school,
Li Jian spends all his spare time on the guitar.
"With the guitar, life becomes vivid."
1993, Tsinghua University held a winter camp for literary lovers.
Li Jian, a senior three student, took part in this activity.
And overwhelmed the audience with a song "Tell the truth".
Won the first place, and got the qualification to walk Tsinghua.
Many years later, Li Jian was very happy that he found a hobby when he was very young.
"An open life begins with finding interest. If a person can't find it and find interest in life, the meaning of life will be lost. "
He joined the choir in Tsinghua,
"After half a year, I can sing with others."
He spends several hours practicing guitar every day.
"From simple notation to staff, to harmony sound, until the most difficult Bach polyphony music can be expressed."
Two or three years later, Li Jian became a great man in Tsinghua.
At that time, students from Tsinghua formed several bands.
Li Jian actually plays guitar in nine bands.
It can be seen how awesome his guitar skills and music theory knowledge are.
Twenty years later, Li Jian returned to Tsinghua to give a speech and said, "When you find an interest, you should manage and invest in it and cultivate it into greater fun."
Many people are looking for a shortcut to success, but Li Jian knows:
"When ability can't support ambition, all roads are detours."
Therefore, he spent the whole college time trying to do one thing-to match his talents with his dreams.
Mike said, "I'm going to town to watch a baseball game." Who wants to go with me? "
Billy said, "Mike, you can't get out."
Mike pointed to the granite washbasin. "I can smash windows with it."
Billy said, "You can't lift it."
Mike rubbed his hands and hugged hard, but he did not move.
Rub your hands again, hug hard, but still don't move.
He is very helpless, but still shouted:
"Damn, I finally tried, at least I tried!"
This is exactly what Li Jian wants to say-life is incomplete without fighting for your dreams.
"If you don't like your present job and have dreams, why don't you go out and have a try?"
Even if you fail, at least you have no regrets.
Li Jian quit his job and formed "Shui Mu Time" with Lu Gengxu.
Five months later, the two released the album "I have you all my life".
As a result, it became an instant hit and won several music awards.
In 2002, when Shui Mu was at its peak,
Li Jian chose to quit the group.
In 2007, Li Jian's "Lu Yu You Yue" revealed:
"The biggest reason for leaving Shui Mu in those years,
Because Lu Gengxu and I are different in creation. "
Lu Gengxu wants to make more rock and rhythm pop music.
But Li Jian wanted to make more humane and restrained music:
"Really good works should be simple and clear,
When you speak, every time you listen, you will be moved differently.
I think this kind of music is really good music. "
At that time, it was all R& AMPB in R&D, electronics and Chinese style.
So many friends advised Li Jian: "You wrote this kind of song completely against the trend."
But Li Jian is very stubborn:
"A singer should create his favorite music,
Instead of making the music that the market needs most.
I don't cater to the public, I don't cater to the trend,
I just want to be myself quietly,
You can understand what you know, and you can understand what you don't need to understand. "
I never quite understood the meaning of this sentence by Li Jian.
I didn't understand until I saw a sentence later-being yourself and living yourself can be the best you can be.
Only by being yourself can you be unique.
"The most important meaning of life lies in experience,
This is not to say that we must achieve a goal,
If the ideal is not realized,
We should all live well.
People should live in the process, not the purpose. "
Li Jian sang a song about his life experience.
For example, in order to resist the cold in winter, he wrote Warm.
Many years later, Lu Yu heard this song and cried:
"I listened in the rain, after the snow, and in the traffic on my way home.
Sadness, calmness, boredom, happiness,
I endowed his singing with my unknown mood. "
Li Jian's songs are always simple and clear.
But it can make people hear their inner voice,
Because these songs grow from his heart.
"You see, after you left Shui Mu, people also went to see the Spring Festival Gala."
"And now you don't even have a performance."
"You are not famous, what do you insist on?"
In those years, many people laughed at Li Jian in this way.
Li Jian just smiled and buried himself in writing his own songs.
An interesting story happened during the quadrangle:
A thief looks after his house and often snoops around in the middle of the night.
But every time I come here, I meet Li Jian writing a song.
The thief stared at it for days, but he couldn't do it.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and had to give up.
Li Jian said: "This scene was seen by my neighbors upstairs."
It is with this uncompromising force that,
He wrote a legend, the wind blows the wheat waves, strangers. ...
In 2006, the 12 nd global Chinese music charts were on the list.
Li Jian won the most important Best Singer Award in the Mainland.
Slowly, he began to be known by insiders.
20 10 Spring Festival Evening, Faye Wong sang the legend of Li Jian.
The popularity of this song made Li Jian known to the public.
On 20 15, Hunan Satellite TV invited Li Jian to participate in "I am a singer".
"Brother Tsinghua" became a "heartthrob".
The reporter asked him: "The secret of entering the mainstream vision from a small group of singers?"
Li Jian replied: "The ultimate is the mainstream."
"The world is so impetuous that everyone is impatient.
Anxious to see the results and gains,
But I have no patience to spend time on farming.
I can succeed only because I am willing to be lonely and dare to be lonely. "
The real rewards are all given by time.
Li Jian said: "In any industry, being a man needs a marginal attitude."
The gesture must be marginal, and the work must be straight to the bull's-eye-this is the criterion he pursues.
He left the noise and still wrote his song quietly.
Nothing seems to have changed.
Many people say: "Li Jian is rare and refuses fame and fortune."
But Li Jian said, "I don't exclude fame and fortune. I just don't want fame and fortune to affect my private life and consume my passion for music. "
As a singer, just write and sing good songs.
"Musician is my only social identity."
He separated the stage from life in a marginal way,
At arm's length in the entertainment circle.
Immersed in music, but hidden in songs,
Keep a proper distance from the world.
Li Jian said, "I am full of love and respect for women.
But I won't get too close to women, and I can't get divorced.
I like many girls, too, but it's enough to appreciate them from afar.
We can appreciate many people, but we don't have to possess them. "
Li Jian said so and did the same.
Li Jian's childhood idol was Sophie Marceau.
At a film festival, a friend said she could arrange to meet her.
Li Jian said, "well, it's gone. I like it far enough. "
Li Jian only likes to waste time on his little shells.
One day, the reporter came across Weibo of Little Shell.
Let's look at the love with the little shell:
Isn't this kind of life a bit enviable?
Li Jian appreciates the endless love between Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang.
He doesn't like to mess himself up with others.
He said, "Love is to find the right person to waste time."
The reporter asked him, "Where did you spend your honeymoon?"
Li Jian smiled and replied, "I have been on my honeymoon all my life."
Li Jian has all kinds of coffee utensils at home.
Handmade pots, mocha pots and steam coffee machines are also available.
"I like deep baking, not too sour."
Li Jian also opened a special teahouse at home.
"I usually have coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon.
What I drink more now is rock tea. "
Li Jian also has a huge bookshelf at home.
"I spend a lot of time reading.
The more books a person reads, the more he will realize his own shortcomings.
Let people have a clearer understanding of themselves without arrogance. "
Besides drinking tea, coffee and reading, Li Jian also likes to keep fit.
Go to the gym four times a week,
"The body is the capital of the revolution and must be treated well."
Shells cook and Li Jian does housework:
"I am willing to clean the house. My family has never hired an hourly worker. "
A friend who has been in and out of the Li family lamented:
"They can see that the towels in the bathroom are picked and picked.
Whether other people's things are used or used for life,
Everything in their family seems to be full of love. "
Li Jian indulged in this elegant life:
"I am a hedonist of life, and I think people should enjoy everything that life gives you to the maximum."
However, Li Jian's enjoyment is simple.
The furnishings are simple and the items are not luxurious.
"Things don't have to be more expensive, but they must be better."
He said, "To live is not to compare with others. Don't be too busy chasing, forget to enjoy life. "
In this world, there is no possession without paying the price.
What you have also owns you.
So, to some extent,
The more a person lets go, the richer he becomes.
People who live to the extreme must be simple and simple.
Everyone thinks that Li Jian is a good singer.
But in fact he is a good livelihood.
His work philosophy, work style, work attitude,
His philosophy of life, lifestyle, attitude towards life,
Actually, it is more interesting than his music.
20 15, lifestyle research institute,
A "20 15 Lifestyle Creative List" was launched.
Li Jian was awarded the "Creator of the Year" award.
When we like Li Jian, what do we like?
I don't know what people like about Li Jian,
But I like the way he's always been,
Very free and clean, never deliberately.
It is said that his songs are simple, clean and moving.
But his songs are actually his life.
Li Jian is a person who really understands people's lives.
He said, "Being a happy person is cooler than success."
Li Jian is 44 years old. During his 44 years of growing up,
In fact, there are many places worth pondering and thinking about.
Although not everyone can be Li Jian,
But everyone can be like Li Jian.
