What kind of person is Li Jian?

On Christmas Eve last year, Li Jian sang "I Want You" on the stage of the Capital Gymnasium. Every word "my girl" was followed by calls and audible "I want you". Here", the girls imagined themselves as the person calling in this soft voice, and their "dream" was realized in Li Jian's words "Thank you, my girls" at the end of the song.

They say it is Li Jian who "picks up girls", but it is better to say that they are actually "picking up" each other on and off stage. The day after Christmas Eve, Li Jian also sang a few lines of "I Want You" on a variety show. Without the response from the girls, it immediately seemed much duller. The vibration of emotional strings may be somewhat mysterious. Time, space and people's hearts change in music, and there will always be different answers.

Just like several old songs Li Jian sang before "I Want You", "August Photo Studio", "Middle School Era" and "Warmth", most of the emotions at that time were one of I was surprised to find that he is now standing in a simple black T-shirt with his guitar on his back, still looking like a young man, but I seem to be trapped in complicated nostalgia, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the past is more beautiful or the stability of this world is best.

There is a lyric in Li Jian's "Persistence", "Who is harder, waiting or working hard?", the answer to this unanswered question in the song is entirely written by time. During what he calls the "silent period", he maintained the output of one album every two years. When waiting for "Legend" and "I Am a Singer", he had his own clear and traceable track of hard work.

No music written will be wasted, it is as if they are waiting there, waiting for someone to catch up and realize it.

Some people may think that it is "favored by fate", but I think that if there is really luck, this luck also comes from choice. Trends pass by one after another, and most people gain a sense of security by remaining similar to others. Li Jian always creates in stability and tranquility, waiting for an era of consistent aesthetics.

This is also a kind of trial between the person who sings and the person who listens to the song. They choose each other's taste and sometimes understand. This is the ideal relationship in Li Jian's heart, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." .

I wonder if the "Aranjuez Concerto" played before "Childhood" coincides with the sadness of the passage of time? What about the "June Barcarolle" before "Lake Baikal"? Are they intoxicated by the same sparkling waves? There is also "La Vie en Rose" interspersed between "When You Get Old". Are the most beautiful lovers always elusive?

He didn’t know much about the answer. He could only understand the aesthetic aspect, and I could only guess.

Li Jian once said, "From a certain perspective, a song no longer belongs to the author after it is written. It belongs to those adopters who treat it well." Listening or singing, we are in different time and space I met a certain song and added myself to it.

When "Father" was sung at the concert, Li Jian sat on the steps, holding his chin and looking thoughtfully. The song sings "You are proud of me, but I have never been proud of you." Not only family affection, but also every regretful emotion is worthy of leaving a sigh in this song.

"Hometown Mountains and Rivers" sounded, the veil fell, and the scene of Harbin flowed by. "I have seen the sunset and sunrise for many months, and there is no same day." I think everyone who has been sleepless in a foreign land has said this. Feel the same.

The song "Mist" that I often listen to recently always makes me feel chilled. "Your place is just an ocean. Some people are struggling and sinking to the bottom of the sea, and there is no sound from then on." I don't know how to write these few words. Did Li Jian ever feel uneasy in his ups and downs? At least my confusion and pessimism about the future are all rippled in this song.

Li Jian said, "The charm of music lies in reflecting some small events and writing those details." Music is a metaphor for things that are difficult to put into words in life.

He wrote "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences" to "ordinary young men and women who have just started a family, or are preparing to start a family." "That's all." This is one aspect of reality. There is no simplicity in life.

When Li Jian played and sang this song at the Christmas Eve concert, the author of this book, Teacher Liu Zhenyun, sat diagonally in front of me. He sat upright in the audience and listened carefully. I wonder if There is a mutual resonance in the music.

I am reminded of the book review Li Jian wrote for Yeats's collection of poems "The Ecstasy of Silence" in the "Beijing News" a while ago. There is a paragraph about artistic expression: "No matter how the times develop, or in other words, progress, human emotions There has not been much evolution, and the artistic means of expressing emotions are not much better. To be precise, they have regressed in many aspects, such as the expression and use of words, not to mention literature.”

Sometimes I feel that there are small holes hidden in the words, inviting you to "peep".

It seems that Li Jian has been more vigilant and thoughtful in his creations in recent years. There is a line in "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge", "It is nothing but free to search for everything in the world." Li Jian said in the concert The Shanghai Encore venue specifically pointed out the word "compensation" that was "written for half a year". This word contains the pride of the creator, but we may easily ignore it.

From the premiere in September last year to the finale on Christmas Eve, Li Jian performed 18 tours in 15 cities and became more and more comfortable speaking, laughing, running, and jumping on stage. He said that he opened his mind and was no longer a taciturn person. It was music and listening to friends that gave him confidence.

Standing true to my duties as a "girl fan", I went to seven of them. While sitting in the venue, I thought more than once about why I appeared at this person's concerts so frequently and repeatedly. But most of the time, I don't have time to think about it, because an atmosphere "abducts" me at a faster speed. Emotions have a shelf life, and you simply can't bear to waste them.

Later, I would think of the way Li Jian put on a solid-color T-shirt and carried his guitar. I think the answer is probably that he is always here
