The other side of inspirational stories

An elder told two stories, which sounded familiar and had unexpected endings.

A general lost a battle, nearly wiped out his entire army, and was wounded himself. He huddled in a ruined temple. The pain of failure was even more uncomfortable in the wind and rain. He was almost desperate. At this time, he saw a broken spider web under the eaves, and a spider was trying to repair the broken web. The general watched the spider's every move, and he fell asleep unconsciously due to exhaustion. When he woke up, he found that the spider had rebuilt its web and was sitting in the center of the web, waiting for food to arrive. The general was deeply inspired by the spider's tenacity. After regaining his confidence, he quickly regrouped and won the war.

In fact, the general did not know: the spider he saw struggling to mend its web at night had been blown down by the wind and drowned in the puddle. The web he saw was another spider. After the rain cleared up, the diagram was set up on the broken net.

A young man who had repeatedly failed to start a business was sitting under a tree to rest in frustration. He found a crow not far away, trying to drink water from a glass bottle. However, because the mouth of the bottle was too small and there was not enough water, the crow could not drink it. Seeing such a scene, the young man immediately thought of himself. He felt that he was like the crow, and the dream was like the water in the bottle. It seemed close to him, but it was destined to be out of reach. The lost young man stood up and walked away. He decided to succumb to reality and become a mediocre person without ideals.

In fact, the young man didn’t know: after he left, the clever crow brought the pebbles and put them into the bottle one by one, causing the water in the bottle to rise. The crow drank the water as he wished, and was happy. The ground left.

The general gained confidence in the tragedy of a spider, but the young man only saw abandonment and despair in the wisdom of the crow. It’s not just generals and young people who don’t know the final outcome of the story, we often don’t know if there is another side to inspirational stories that we can’t see. The two stories of the elders made me realize: We always think that we need encouragement and examples from the outside world to support ourselves, but in fact, the real strength lies within.

It is undeniable that inspirational stories make many people feel warm and encouraged, but these inspirational stories are more of a reason for us to arouse our own strength and cannot really determine the success or failure of right and wrong. This is why some people are always inspired but never burst out, while some people can gain permanent motivation to move forward as long as they are touched once. In the final analysis, the cry of dreams from a strong heart drives our lives forward. No amount of encouragement can compare to this.

Today, chicken soup for the soul is prevalent, and more and more people need the urging of inspirational stories and famous sayings to lead them forward. In fact, the real driving force for progress will only come from our hearts: that It is determination and persistence in life.

After you left, I was proud of you

If it hadn’t been for the recent move, I would never have been able to remember these letters from home from the last century. That was a letter my family wrote to me when I was studying in college 20 years ago. It feels like it is as far away as a century, and its length makes people feel a little trance-like, almost unreal. But when I read these letters again, everything in the past gradually became clear, as if it happened yesterday.

I was born and raised in Harbin. Although it is not an economically developed city, people have a strong sense of happiness. People are keen on celebrating festivals and gatherings. In my memory, every house has a large population. Every holiday, relatives and friends get together again and again. This has also made me feel the ubiquitous family affection since I was a child. What this city has given me, in addition to the unique and beautiful scenery, is more about the friendship between people.

Since I had never left home before, when I first entered college, I was not used to living independently and always missed home. Letters of hope from home have become an indispensable part of my campus life. Every day after school, I would look for my name on the table piled with letters in the communication room. In fact, the content of each letter home is roughly the same, and I always take the trouble to read it over and over again. In the letter from home, in addition to telling me to study hard and pay attention to my health, it also told me not to be afraid of spending money. At that time, most of my classmates had similar family situations and were not very wealthy. Especially since we had three children at home, the process of raising them seemed like an uphill climb, which was somewhat strenuous. However, in her letters, my mother often revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that the family's financial situation was very good, allowing me to study with peace of mind, and I also tried my best to find some things that might make them happy, and even describe my own vision for the future.

In 1995, I went to Hong Kong to perform with the school art troupe. At that time, Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland. Going to Hong Kong was equivalent to going abroad. Everything I saw was novel. In the letter, I described Hong Kong to my parents and told them that one of the universities liked me very much and that I might go there to study for graduate school in the future. My mother wrote in a letter saying that the news had made the whole family excited for several days. She also said that she would build her hometown well after she returns from school, and that her hometown would catch up with Hong Kong in the future.

Tsinghua University is a great honor for an ordinary family, and this family honor gained because of me makes me feel even more responsible to protect it.

This is a school with heavy workloads, especially our electronics department, which is known for its high learning pressure. When I was in my third year of college, I began to feel tired of studying. I had a vague idea of ??dropping out of school, and I felt depressed all day long.

I remember one day, when I was sorting out letters in the dormitory, I read the letters from my family when I was a freshman. The joy and pride from my parents made me so ashamed that I burst into tears. Full face. I thought to myself that I could not embarrass my kind-hearted parents, I could not undermine their newly established self-confidence in social life, and I could not let my family be filled with sorrow. I secretly made up my mind that I must persevere until I graduate and get my degree.

Looking back, I should be grateful to those letters and to my ordinary and warm family for giving me the initial strength. Facts have proved that many things are just a matter of one thought, and many results are only one step away.

At that time, I often performed in college and also wrote songs and composed music. My mother was worried that this would affect my studies, so she wrote in the letter: "You should focus on your studies now, and don't always think about becoming a singer or something like that. Things, those are just dreams, not reality. Our family is ordinary people. You need to learn a skill, find a good job after graduation, and be a useful person to the country. Your parents don’t expect you to become famous and make money.”

In fact, I just loved music at that time and was relatively active on campus. I never thought about music as a career, because as my mother said, such a career is far away from a family like ours. It's too far away for me to be someone who's on TV a lot. She also knows how difficult it is to make a living from singing, because my father is a Peking Opera actor and he knows the price of doing art.

My father is the most honest and kind-hearted person I have ever met. In today's words, he is "completely harmless". In my memory, my first impression of him was in early winter, when I was about 3 years old. I remember standing on the bed, my father putting on my cotton trousers and saying, "It's snowing, winter is coming." I still remember watching the heavy snow falling from the sky outside the window. That was also my first experience with snow. memory. But this time, there is no feeling of cold in my memory.

A few years later, during a cold winter, I often woke up in the middle of the night and found my father writing, sometimes clutching his chest. I feel very strange. It turns out that the work unit has increased the wages of many actors, but there is no father. It is said that a person who gave gifts to the boss occupied the quota that should have belonged to the father. The father wrote a letter to the superior department to complain.

Due to his bad mood, he had stomach trouble. I think what my father cares about is not only the salary level, but also the recognition of an actor's professional title and respect for art. That was the first time I felt his melancholy, and I can still recall his expression.

I no longer remember what the outcome of this incident was, nor did I remember when his melancholy dissipated. Ordinary people's families are like small boats floating on the sea. The wind and rain that come at any time can make them rock. But for me, what I feel is more of the warmth in the small boat.

When I graduated from junior high school, I was admitted to the best high school in the city, which is equivalent to Tsinghua University in middle school.

Once my father was going to perform in Russia, and my mother asked me to see him off at the train station that day. I was a little surprised. He used to go to the station by himself when he was on a business trip, because his father usually didn't talk much and never let me do anything for him. Later I found out that my father wanted to show off his son in front of his colleagues. Because those uncles and aunts liked me very much when I was a child. Now, after not seeing each other for many years, I was admitted to the best high school. My father especially wanted them to meet me. I still remember my father’s expression of satisfaction when they praised me, and that’s when I truly realized how proud he was of me. At the same time, I also found that he was a little older, and he was slightly different from the high-spirited Wu Sheng father in the past. My heart tightened slightly.

Children’s expectations are different from yours

Do you think children love playing with iPads and mobile phones? Actually no, they are just afraid of being alone. Do you think children are most proud of their good academic performance? Actually no, what makes them most proud is their popularity.

The children in our eyes may not be who they are.

Peer relationships are the most important thing

After children enter school age, parents pay more attention to: How is the homework completed? Have you mastered all the classroom knowledge? Have you developed study habits? For a long time, academic performance has been used as an indicator of student excellence. What children value most is the relationship with their peers. What they care about is whether they can realize their own value in the group. 46.19% of the children said that what they are most proud of is being able to help people around them solve problems and having a group of good friends. Only about 20% of children think that getting good grades in exams or winning in competitions is the most proud thing.

In fact, children have the ability to communicate since childhood, and their happiness in childhood often stems from their relationships with their friends. Experts said: "Children are not as snobby as adults when making friends. Teachers have found that children with good personalities and helpfulness are popular in school regardless of their academic performance. Adults should encourage children to serve the collective and help their classmates. , making them feel that they are useful people. This kind of value is the source of real happiness for children.

”

Emotional teachers are the most popular

In the survey, there is a question that is more interesting. When asked “What would you do if you were a teacher?” About 40% of the children He said that he would treat students like friends and listen to what they say.

Children like teachers who are humorous, happy, kind, considerate and caring. Every student is not biased and is very democratic. The Luwanyi Central Primary School in Huangpu District, Shanghai recently selected the "Teacher's Star of Ethics" according to the standards of the children. Different from the parents' vision, the most popular teachers were selected by the children. Some are not even famous teachers, and there are also many teachers in secondary subjects such as physical education and music. One of the criteria for children's selection is whether the teacher treats them as friends.

Teenagers are in the growth stage of emotional cognition, and sometimes they are in the growth stage of emotional cognition. Talking about emotions is more useful than reasoning. Experts said: "Especially for primary school students, teachers may wish to meet their emotional needs first before making demands on them. "A special-level Chinese language teacher in Shanghai said: "Today, many teachers only have textbooks and standard answers in their eyes, without emotions. How can such teachers teach students well? The most classic case is that when asked what melted snow is, the children's answer is that melted snow means spring, but the boring teacher insists that they accept the standard answer that melted snow means water. The teacher's teaching is devoid of emotion and treats students as containers for knowledge, making it difficult to truly get close to students. ”

I care about my parents’ attitude

According to a survey, the things that children worry about the most are: poor grades and a drop in class ranking; poor performance and teachers calling parents to school; Loss of interest in learning, etc. When facing difficulties, about 42% of children hope that their parents will "calmly solve it with themselves" and not limit other activities; about 23% of the children said: " Although I cannot achieve the expected goals, please give me recognition for my efforts and progress. "

For children, growing up is a process full of confusion and pressure. When children encounter difficulties in growing up, their parents' attitudes and practices are very important to them. Experts said: "In fact, for parents , they understand many educational principles, but it is more difficult to do it, mainly because they have no patience, and the parents themselves are not good enough. A mother taught her children: ‘Listen carefully in class and don’t pay attention half-heartedly. ’ As a result, she was playing with her mobile phone and talking to her child. How can parents who are not focused when communicating with their children teach their children to focus in class? ”

When it comes to education, parents must first have a good attitude in order to guide their children well. Maybe children have many shortcomings in the eyes of adults, and their ideas may even be naive, but adults must learn to wait and let go. Adults are the ruler, waiting for children to grow up. There are no perfect children in the world, and parents do not need to mold their children to be impeccable.

Don’t easily deny your children’s dreams, about 4 8. % of children said they hope to do what they like and realize their dreams in the future. Every child has his or her own dreams, adults should not sneer at their children’s dreams.

An education expert in Shanghai recently complained. One thing: an 11-year-old child likes cooking. He can cook twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu. He also studies cooking methods by himself. He knows how to foam the soybeans, stir-fry them with seasonings, and then add tofu to make mapo. The tofu is very fragrant, and they sometimes cook some dishes for their parents who come home late from get off work. The parents of this child are more open-minded and even think that if the child always likes it, they can send him to a cooking school in the future. But they are open-minded parents. When I met an unenlightened teacher, the teacher criticized the parents: "A good stir-fry is not as good as a good English test. Children should not be allowed to neglect their duties." "Parents have no choice but to ban their children from cooking.

In the eyes of parents, it is best for their children to have a decent and promising job in the future. This is much more important than their children's so-called dreams. As everyone knows, what parents kill It may be the happiness of children loving life and finding value. Don’t rush to suppress your children’s dreams. Why not accompany your children, pay sweat and tears for their dreams, go through tests, learn knowledge, and accumulate experience? This will give them a happy life. A fulfilling and happy childhood.

Failure is only a hundred meters away from success

Guo Wei, a young man full of sunshine and vitality, is a Chinese angel investor born in the 1980s in Silicon Valley. 101 Highway in San Francisco and San Jose. In the name of an angel, he has been looking for and supporting the next "10 billion companies". In the past two years, he has contacted more than 1,600 projects and invested in 26 projects. Rising star, he soon attracted the attention of the industry.

Guo Wei's exposure to business first started in high school. At that time, he was under 15 years old and could not attend high school in Singapore due to academic constraints. While playing games, he discovered the business opportunities in World of Warcraft, so he hired people to play games to earn gold coins, and then conducted offline transactions through WeChat. He made the first pot of gold in his life in Singapore where he could not work. From then on, Guo Wei realized what he liked to do and what he could do well, so at that time, he took two courses in economics and business.

In 2008, Guo Wei went to the University of San Francisco in the United States to major in entrepreneurship. He began to systematically study venture capital and tried stock trading. After graduating from college, Guo Wei was determined to invest out of his interest in venture capital and his admiration for Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial culture and entrepreneurs. He used the money he earned from stock trading in college and the support of his relatives and friends to start a business in Silicon Valley, but it soon failed.

The failure of his first entrepreneurial venture was a blow to Guo Wei, who was full of dreams and confidence. At that time, he was in a very low mood and even regarded the encouragement from relatives and friends as sympathy for him. Once, he went to watch a marathon with his father. Several marathon runners were very close to each other during the race, but an athlete who was closely following him suddenly accelerated in the last 100 meters and finally won. Marathon champion. His father said to him sitting next to him: "You see, success lies in the last 100 meters. In these 100 meters, because you did not handle the factors of maintaining strength well, you failed. If you use failure as motivation, you will rush forward." After these 100 meters of setbacks, success will eventually belong to you."

His father's words made Guo Wei suddenly wake up, yes! Why don't you face the 100 meters in front of you correctly after failure? Realizing this, he began to face the encouragement of his friends correctly. Next, under the leadership of a friend, Guo Wei went to see the best incubator road show in Silicon Valley. He saw that the investors invited were all Silicon Valley big guns. More importantly, the entire road show day fully reflected the feelings of Silicon Valley. He began to accept failure and began to realize that it was precisely because of failure that Silicon Valley had one "weird" idea after another. While constantly improving ideas, various successes were achieved. Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have the drive not to be afraid of failure and the confidence to dare to disrupt. For this reason, Guo Wei's heart gradually became firmer. He said to himself: "I want to become an angel, the best angel investor!"

With goals, there is hope. Guo Wei began to raise funds, and with the help of partners in Silicon Valley, New York and China, he began to visit various projects in the Bay Area and San Francisco. In mid-2013, he decisively made his first investment after looking at nearly a thousand projects. Although he did not get a return for a long time, he realized that the return of some projects was long-term and he could not rush it. Next, he invested all his belongings in a game team. After the investment, he even had no money to eat. Fortunately, the project quickly gave him a return of more than five times.

Guo Wei is like this, he will invest in the projects he identifies without hesitation, and the success of the investment makes Guo Wei more determined and more diligent. At 5:30 every morning, he drives from San Jose, the southernmost tip of Silicon Valley, all the way through Highway 101 in the Bay Area, and then shuttles through the congested incubator cafes and startups in San Francisco. He went to meetings large and small and met everyone he had an appointment with. He also lobbied the first, second and third generation wealthy people he met in Silicon Valley, New York, Beijing, Shenzhen and every country and city to let them use the money they spent to buy cars to invest in angels. In the past two years, Guo Wei has been exposed to more than 1,600 projects and successfully invested in 26 projects, ranging from genetic engineering to Bitcoin platforms. From the mediocre performance of the initial investment projects to the performance of the companies he invested in later, the performance has maintained a good momentum, and there are some companies he has invested in. The next investment has been successfully obtained.

Guo Wei's success quickly attracted the attention of the industry and the news media. When the reporter interviewed this young and confident angel investor, Guo Wei told the reporter: "Failure is only 100 meters away from success. It was my correct face of the 100-meter gap after failure that allowed me to usher in the success that belongs to me." Your own success."

Don't forget your original intention

There is a saying in "Huayan Sutra": "You can only succeed if you don't forget your original intention." Original intention refers to the initial desire to learn. Buddhist. Later, original intention often refers to a person's original intention, intention, and wish. The meaning of this sentence is, don’t forget the goal you set at the beginning, be determined and stick to it from beginning to end, and only then will you achieve good results.

Original intention is the mentality you have at the beginning. "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good." When we are children, we always have a pure heart and are full of curiosity about the world. Everything we see is new, true, good and beautiful, and we are interested in everything and everything. There is no inherent concept of the problem, and it is always treated with a simple heart.

As we grow older, we grow up and have many personal feelings and desires, many disputes over interests, and many calculations of grudges. Especially living in today's era of pursuing success, many of us have more money to run around for daily necessities and less romance in looking up at the stars; we have more sophistication and maturity, and less simplicity and kindness. Some people even engage in intrigues and betrayal of their own personality and dignity for the sake of money and fame.

Original intention is the heart of a beginner, and it is the dream that people make at the starting point. The original intention is empty and unfettered by various habits. Just like when we fall in love, it is the pursuit period at the beginning. We feel that everything about the other person is beautiful, we can give everything to the other person, strive to show our own advantages to the other person, and cherish the time we are together. `Every time you hold hands, you will feel your heart surge and your passion fly.

Later, we got married and started a business. As time went by and the ordinary life of daily necessities, each other's shortcomings were fully exposed. As a result, our hearts became numb, we began to be casually neglected, we felt bored, and even chose to cheat in search of excitement. Original intention.

Original intention is an open heart and a positive and enterprising state. Because without closure, you will be ready to open up, accept, and change at any time, just like an empty cup, ready to accept any new things at any time. Because of the original intention, because of youth and frivolity, I am not ashamed to talk about my dreams, and I am fearless and go all the way to realize my dreams. Later, because of old age and frailty, because he had forgotten his original intention and had worries, he liked to stand on the side of the secular world, shrinking his hands and feet, and could no longer move forward. Even if I have the heroic feeling of "I will go even if there are thousands of people", I have to bury it secretly in my heart and only remember it quietly in my drunken dreams.

Nalan Xingde said: "If life is only like the first time we met." There is only one life, and you cannot repeat your life. You must always remember your original intention. Because of our original intention, we can afford to lose and have nothing to worry about. Keep your original intention, never forget your original thoughts, don't let the years wash away and fade away, have the courage, be ready to accept, doubt, and be open to all possibilities. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, you will still move forward. Move forward with your dreams.

Steve Jobs said: "The secret of creation lies in the beginner's mentality." Indeed, if a person always remembers to cherish his original intention, strives to purify his original intention, and cherishes his original intention with all his heart, he can give himself a pair of clear ideas. Eyes, find the right direction in life, quietly wait for the opportunity, bring your dreams, be full of confidence, and reach the other side of success just like the young boy back then.

The painful youth in "Ant Nest"

Li Liguo never thought that he would become famous in such a strange way.

One morning three months ago, Li Liguo had a stomachache. He had to walk from his house of less than 5 square meters to the public toilet. As soon as he opened the door, he found that the TV station had set up a camera at the door. . Li Liguo hurriedly said, what are you doing? At this time, his "brother" Bai Wanlong, who they had been singing with since they met in 2008, also woke up from his sleep when he heard the noise. The reporters from the TV station were stunned. How could they have imagined that Li Liguo would suddenly come over at this time? They could only say awkwardly, don’t you know that you guys are popular?

“You” refers to the 31-year-old Li Li Li Guo and 22-year-old Bai Wanlong, as well as the group name dedicated to their brothers - Tangjialing Brothers.

"Is it popular?" After leaving his hometown of Jinzhou, Liaoning, Li Liguo worked as an underground singer for ten years, and he also dreamed of becoming "popular" for ten years. However, ten years of hardship made him realize that without funds and packaging, the chance of becoming famous as a music singer is basically the same as the chance of winning the lottery. How could he become "popular"?

Ling What made them famous overnight was not the music itself, but the visit of three members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference the day before.

Success is just a dream for us

Tangjialing is the most famous "ant tribe" settlement in Beijing. At that time, Li Liguo and Bai Wanlong were sitting on the bed singing their original song "Song of the Ant Tribe". After being introduced by a media reporter, He Yongzhi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference who came to investigate the "Ant Tribe" issue, cried while listening and asked the singer to sing Li Liguo and Bai Wanlong felt at a loss. As soon as the song was finished, both of them started to cry.

Li Liguo had every reason to cry. In front of him was what he had earned after ten years of hard work: a rented house with no windows of less than 5 square meters, with a cupboard and a bed as all his belongings. On the "table" made of several bricks, three hard steamed buns were placed randomly, and dusty cigarette boxes, food bags, and waste paper were scattered on the ground at the door. The most valuable thing in the whole house is the guitar.

He has always believed that even if there is a war outside, it has nothing to do with him, and he just needs to stick to his music dream. He lived purely like this for more than ten years, until he discovered that his classmates from the technical school who had the same dream of pursuing music as him have now gone to no one knows where. "Marriage, work, have all become slaves to money."

Relatives and friends at home regard him as a person with no future: he has been away for ten years and cannot bring a penny of income to his family, and he has to ask his parents for living expenses every year. Now, even he feels selfish.

A large number of ants gained love, strength and warmth from his singing. At an ant gathering a month ago, more than 200 Beijing ants gathered together to listen to them singing "The Song of the Ants" while waving their hands and cheering to the beat.

There is no doubt that the Tangjialing brothers met the needs of the ants, because they "successfully" persisted in their music dream for ten years, as written in "Song of the Ants": Although we don't What, but we are still strong.

The reason why "success" is put in quotation marks is because this "success" makes Li Liguo a little bit dumbfounded: apart from the recognition from the ant tribe, the people who follow them don't seem to pay attention to how many songs he writes. Well, how good the singing is. All the questions are focused on the hardships of life of the ants, and their group name that sounds a bit earthy, but is very in line with the current public taste.

"Success is just a dream for us. Now we are dreaming, but we haven't woken up from this dream yet." Li Liguo said.

Warmth, love and strength

Before the Spring Festival of 20xx, Li Liguo and Bai Wanlong returned the house with a monthly rent of more than 300 yuan and exchanged it for one with a monthly rent of only 160 yuan. , because only in this way can I have enough money to participate in CCTV's Youth Singing Competition auditions and Hunan Satellite TV's "Fast Man" competition.

Money is earned piece by piece by singing underground passages. Because the place they lived was too remote, and most of the passages they had to go to were in the city center, the two would get up at 5 o'clock every morning, rush out, and occupy the passages to sing before the urban white-collar workers went to work. In good times, they can earn 80 yuan a day.

During that time, in addition to singing, they also had to prepare for the auditions for the Youth Song Competition. Money cannot be used arbitrarily. It costs money to sign up and to compete in various competition areas. The thousands of dollars they have saved will be spent almost entirely by participating in competitions in two competition areas outside Beijing.

However, the Youth Singing Competition deeply affected the two of them: not only did they not advance, they didn’t even have any explanation. Once they finished singing, it was over...

They decided not to sing in the channel again. Because although the singing channel can let them feel the feeling of being on stage, it cannot measure the subtle differences between timbres, and the latter is more like the reason why the two brothers failed in the Youth Singing Competition.

After getting up in the morning, they began to rehearse at home and practice over and over again. When they get off work in the evening, they go to Tangjia Lingnan Station to sing, not for money, but only their own original songs.

They did not expect that the road show at Tangjialingnan Station would become a turning point in their lives. Tangjialing, which has attracted much attention because of the investigative report "Ant Tribe - A Record of a Village Inhabited by College Graduates", is currently filled with a pessimistic atmosphere that it will be demolished. At this time, it was their singing that brought "warmth, love and strength" to this pessimism and disappointment.

Some people simply stopped eating and came to the station to listen to their singing, beating the beat while listening, with tears streaming down their cheeks; others took out their cameras, and the flash suddenly turned the dark night into light. A photographer named "Feiwo" simply took the entire DV video, edited it, and uploaded it to the video website.

The viral spread of the Internet allowed netizens to quickly get to know Li Liguo and Bai Wanlong: their fluffy hair, the tight pants of 90s rock singers, and worn-out canvas shoes.

Soon after, the three members of the CPPCC came to their ant habitat.

The dream is still far away

On May 8, after participating in the recording of the Henan TV program, the brothers returned to Beijing with faces full of exhaustion.

Shortly after the CPPCC members arrived, the brothers were "invited" out of the house by their landlord. Because there were too many people visiting the house every day, and the flash lights kept shining, which made the landlord feel uneasy.

The new house is nearly 10 square meters, much more spacious, and equipped with a small independent bathroom. However, the price is nearly three times that of the original house. This is a big expense for the brothers: although they have become famous and are invited to record programs by more TV stations, the fixed income from singing underground channels is gone, and the income from recording a program is also It’s only three to five hundred yuan.

The dream is still far away. In the "Quick Man" qualifiers, they missed the opportunity due to urgent matters on the day of the competition. Previously, the Outstanding Singer Award in the Beijing TV Singer Competition in 2009 did not bring much to Li Liguo and Bai Wanlong. Li Liguo even released an album in 2006, but it was a complete mess and there was no follow-up information. They began to wonder if their so-called opportunities and dreams would be in vain again after this bombardment of media reports.

Bai Wanlong could still remember a time when he and Li Liguo were underground in Xidan. While singing in the channel, a girl donated a dollar to them. The money was filled with words: "I just bought a train ticket to leave Beijing, and I only have this dollar. You sang so well. I hope you can persevere." Dream."

Bai Wanlong has always treasured this dollar. He said that every time he saw this dollar, he felt full of power.
